There's no need to bash someone for expressing their honest opinion, no matter how misguided it may be. Of course, stating that an aspect of the story is "just plain stupid" is asking for people to attack you, so this poster could be trolling, but somehow, I thik they are just not very good at expressing themselves tactfully. Saying something like "The scissors thing didn't really do anything for me, would be a more polite way to phrase it. Now, onto my counter-argument: @JoshSalas - you realize this is a supernatural genre show, right? MGX involves things that defy the laws of nature, and Urabe is supposed to be a complete enigma, an oddball that doesn't act like other girls in any way shape or form. If you stick around and accept Urabe's little eccentricities in the same manner in which she expects Tsubaki to:  If you do, I expect you will find what readers of the manga have known for a while: Mysterious Girlfriend X is one of the finest romances around. It covers the aspect of romance that is usually ignored by most anime romances: building a relationship, learning about each other, and growing to truly cherish the person you are in love with. I am a huge fan of Toradora! as well, by the way... :) |

Blind fanboys are just as bad as blind haters. I also don't see how liking Toradora is bad thing... It's one of the best romantic comedies. I thought that the scissors, although strange, kind of helped flush out Urabe's character. However, what I see potential is the whole idea behind how they can use saliva to learn how each other is feeling or thinking. From the overall feel and gleaning over some of the comments, I can say I like where they are going with the subject matter. Still kind of feel weird during the saliva exchange scenes though... |
 |
| Certainly one of the quirkiest shows I've seen, but interesting none the less. I'll be waiting for more .... |

Even if you enjoy every other aspects of the show, I doubt anyone can honestly say 'she's carrying around scissors in her panties, what sheer genius!' I'm not questioning her ability with the scissors, because yes, crazy things can happen in supernatural, I'm questioning the (extremely lame, in my opinion) concept itself. I hope you're right and the romantic developments do save this show, because right now it hasn't got much going for it. |

The show is a seinen show with some eechi content, not shojo or shounen. But even more than an excuse for panty shots and cool looking sequences where her skirt is flipping through the air, it is to demonstrate the truly unique and mysterious nature of Mikoto Urabe. She can transmit emotions and bodily conditions through her drool, she sleeps in class, seems to have something against being hugged without warning, and carries scissors in her panties. There is no character like her anywhere in manga or anime! Not to mention that she is not "traditionally" pretty, with eyes that could cut through your heart if she is angry and hair that usually covers her eyes, instead of being held back by a hair clip or something. But is still very aluring, and has a killer figure, too! She actually reminds me a lot of the Ally Sheedy character in The Breakfast Club in terms of looks, and I have always had a thing for her! :) In short, Urabe is one of the most original leading ladies in anime and manga! That is something most shows can't say! [EDIT: I hate this editor!] |

| LOL she can read your mind through your drool The drool taste changes depend on the mood She can be really scary She is the master weapon of scissor This show is so special in its own way |
| The first few minutes was quite slow but it just kept picking up as time passed. it was very interesting development where after having finally found a gf, Tsubaki doesn't feel like he's in a relationship. So he does something that i thought wasn't possible for male leads in high school romances by taking initiative steps to get closer to her. Could have cost him though, Urabe was going to shear him a new one when he grabbed on to her. those parts where she was threatening him were hilarious. Her drool has telepathic properties and she can also transfer her feelings into it. I just wonder how this anime is going to out weird it self next week. |

| This is getting really interesting, I had no idea what she would do with Tsubaki-kun in the abandoned building. I also understand why she is often depicted with scissors at least. 4/5, good episode. |
| HI-MI-TSU! great episode and that ending :) |

| LOL that dream ! :D |
 |
| Watched the first 2 episodes of the anime, then got curious, so i went and read thru all the manga i could find on it..., and all i can say is that while the first 2 episodes of the anime were entertaining and good..., the manga was extremely boring and dragged on and on..., so as for the anime i no longer have any hopes of it being good or entertaining..., i might watch it out or just drop it..., cuz if the manga was really tht boring (2 years and no progress whatsoever) the anime isnt gonna be anything better..., just my 2 cents! |
| omg lol, "when we finally do it, i won't be wearing a weird doll in my head!!!" the drool power is fascinating! |

| Been so long since I've read the manga so that scene about Urabe saying if she were to do that, she wouldn't wear a doll on the head made me laugh hard. Anyway, great episode and adaptation so far. |

| Nothing special, a bunch of panties and ass shots not to mention fan service sexing up from the manga. I just want to find out where are they and how far they are going to idealize the drool. Like in this episode they showed it can make you feel each other in feelings going as far as dreams. Fan Service wise (NSFW): http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/04/nazo-no-kanojo-x-episode-2.html pretty much. My BLOG contains hentai stuff. |
| Never read the manga, but does anyone think Urabe is cheating on Tsubaki with Kouhei? And that is why he gave the movie tickets away and that's why Urabe already had plans on Sunday. |

Dangerthirdwheel said: Never read the manga, but does anyone think Urabe is cheating on Tsubaki with Kouhei? And that is why he gave the movie tickets away and that's why Urabe already had plans on Sunday. Nope. Never thought of it. Of course, the manga doesn't have him getting the tickets from Ueno. The scenes with him talking with Ueno are anime only. I liked them and thought they added depth to the story, but they are new. There are plenty of panels in the manga with him and Ueno talking at the soda machine, but not until later chapters... Not really "spoilers" but information about what chapters seem to be in the next episode and such: |

| Mysterious girlfriend indeed. Their drool bond can even exchange dreams now? He missed something great by keeping his eyes closed though. But maybe for the better. xD |
 |
| Such a weirdo. Go find yourself a normal girl dude. i don't know if am gonna watch this for long because it' getting kind of disgusting. I do wonder though how a publisher accepted the idea of a romance based on drool in the first place. , |
| I think the series has started really well. I thought it was really sweet when Tsubaki wrote 1000 points for Urabe in his notebook right in front of his classmates. The drool stuff is pretty weird, but it's an intriguing kind of weird. And I'm really interested in this crazy relationship Tsubaki and Urabe have got going. Also, I kind of wish people would leave talk of the manga out of the thread. I feel like I'm in some sort of spoiler minefield here - some of the manga posts might not be spoilers, but I really don't want to take that chance. |

I do wonder though how a publisher accepted the idea of a romance based on drool in the first place. , my advice to you would be to drop it now, cuz they are not gonna make any progress pass drool..., 2 years have gone past in the manga, and they still havent held hands. |
| ^See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. It might be a small spoiler to you, but it still just spoiled something in the anime that I wouldn't have immediately guessed. You could've made exactly the same point without the manga comment. |
| everyone should know by now that the anime is going to have an anime-original ending |

| I am seriously hoping that this relationship develops past drool, but i guess it doesn't really matter because i've already become sucked into this anime >.> |

Not much of a spoiler ether if you think about it, it's not like he told you what events happen(although it seem the only events happening will be drool exchange). Anyway if that is how the manga is after 2 years i wonder how it still has readers. Japanese are fucking weird. |
| Pretty funny ending. I also thought that doll tied to her head was pretty weird. It made for a good laugh though. |
| So bizarre but like it! |
