Quite a few references to visual novels. I'm still surprised nobody else mentioned the fact that everyone on that list is 17 years old at the end of ep 2.

Alright well some pieces of the puzzle that is this show's plot were definitely put into place this week. We learn of the asteroid threat, the secret organizations, and Meika and Mikatan's backstories. Of course, this show being what it is the craziness, the randomness, and the humor remain. The scenes I got the biggest kick out of were old comedy staples: Meika's "pregnancy" and Mikatan trying to keep her secret identity hidden from Ito. You could expect to see these kinda plots in sitcoms of the 70s or 80s but well...they worked for me here. More questions linger now though, like the masked men and the bear's wound mysteriously healing...guess we'll see...best episode so far.

Yuuta = the scientist and potentially Kenji. Also, Ito has good taste in mice (Logitech g502).

My god the pacing was shit in this episode, so much stuff was crammed into and glossed over within seconds, then we have a whole minute of pointless period comedy. You can really see uchikoshi is trying to fit in the story in a very vn format, but thats just not going to work in anime

This episode was a lot better than the previous ones in my opinion. Still funny, but a bit less random.

cinnamon were used on dead egyptians pharaohs so that the bodies won't decay when they go through the afterlife.


This is very interesting though!

How insignificant is Yu's existence in this apartment? Ud think they'do wonder why he's not showing up much and maybe wonder about his personality? Is the guy who took his body's acting that perfect? Or they just don't care about him lol

I guess that's the joke? One glance of a loli's panties dooms the world instead of a two-phrase the show established in episode 1. And the book. Is he still trying to find the book and pretending it's no big deal or the show really just forget about this plot thread in favor of...some random stuff that happens?

I don't know. Even though you beg your viewers to stay until episode 6 you can't just spill reference and foreshadowing everywhere without rhyme or reason, you've gotta reward them in some ways, similar to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni but that show doesn't so desperately wanting its viewers to piece the puzzle, the atmosphere and drama alone can be a satisfaction most of the time. It's so frustrating. Is there any reason other than being a fan of Kotaro Uchikoshi to actually try to figure out what's going on?

It was a funny and interesting episode

Oh, the cinnamon powder Mikatan left in Ito's room last ep came in handy. Nice.

I still find the Doraemon jokes funny.
I guess that's why Meika's eyes look a bit different compared to the others, she's a robot/android.

I like how Strange Juice's eyelashes become pointy when powered up.
Mikatan seems to have a fascination with Aliens/Martians.

This " Miyazawa Kenji" seems to be possessing Yuta's body. I wonder if the way he powers up is similar.
Why did he have to go to Ito's room/102 for a power up? Cinnamon? Videos? Books/Magazines? BL novels?

The masked intruder seems to have gotten a power up when the turtle bit him. Qmay logo also has a turtle. Uh oh.. this doesn't bode well for Strange Juice. Then there's the idol group Mikatan is in, ShizuMei/She's Mei. I wonder if they're related?

Justice Punch. Sounds like pun on Panchi/Panty or Punch as in Juice.

Poor Yuta. He should've listened. The picture met the requirements for the power up and he looked twice. I don't think Yuta is a pervert, his strange power just gets triggered by seeing girls' panties and he gets massive nosebleeds along with it.

Lolis Mikatan is super cute and looks like the little girl that appeared when Yuta fell into the sea with the Mastermind Teraoka.

He lost another day again... I wonder how the party went.

Aaand the world is destroyed again. This time by looking at some child panties. I guess every time of panties can trigger Yuta's nosebleeds. :P

We also got some action this time. The masked guy was scary and even scarier after the turtle bit him in his nether regions. I guess that bear will have some plot relevance later on.
New guy who calls himself Kenji is probably Yuta's physical body, I agree. It was pretty hardcore how much he trashed the masked guy after the 30 second long ceasefire.

I thought the misunderstandings were pretty funny. "This is what happens when you put it in without the rubber." Hihi.

Jesus Christ, what's is not to get? We got backstories of two main characters, another sets of mysteries and foreshadowing. Does animewatchers these days need to have everything on a silver plate from start?

The characters aren't deep enough to care about, and the antics aren't that clever or funny. But this is all my subjective opinion. If you enjoy it, that's fine. Personally, I can't stand it.

It makes plenty of sense. I'll spell it out for you.

In other words, this show doesn't have any redeeming qualities. It doesn't work on a so-called intellectual level because the characters lack depth, and it doesn't work as an over-the-top comedy because the gags are weak. This is my opinion, and I'm not judging people who like these types of shows.

If this still "makes no sense", that's your problem.

Goodness, you people can be such idiots.

At best, you've shown yourself to have no patience. At worst... Well, even you have to be smart enough to get that one, no?

The show is only 3 episodes in. Patience. Lots of foreshadowing and a continuing look at the characters in more and more depth. Hate it so much? Go watch something else and don't spend your time making hyperboles so you can make yourself feel superior whatever bullshit motivates actions like yours.

This time, though a bit intricate, narrative succeeds thanks to the many revelations to strike up a plot that makes the story interesting.
The drawings and animations are not as bad and fail to do their job in a discreet way. Characters who become a little more interesting. Let's see how the next episode.

I don't think patience is the problem. It doesn't get much slower than Mushishi and it's my favorite anime. But I'm not one of those elitists who only likes serious shows or has a problem with fan service. I also enjoyed Grisaia no Kajitsu.

Go watch something else and don't spend your time making hyperboles so you can make yourself feel superior whatever bullshit motivates actions like yours.

Seals seen in the first ep are still there in the third one - but not in the second one.
That whole camera footage deal is really fishy. Why would he do that? To pretend that everything that happens there - happens at that point of time (but being live could be faked).

And another weirdness http://i.imgur.com/XTfXglZ.jpg

In the first ep he awakened at this day but at 8:32 (and made it into her room at 9:08). Possible explanations:
1) Mistake. But that clock is animated and in all other scenes date&time makes perfect sense.
2) It really happens at that time. But what does that fact change? Dunno.
3) They're trying to make him believe in those dates and mess with the clock (apparently it's the only thing in the whole house that shows current date...) but fail one this time.

Wow, i missed this seals stuff. That certainly makes the live fishy. I made some comparison in the room's layout. I wonder, if this will help to understand something, when there will be more camera shots.
http://imgur.com/a/8bTji
I think in the box is one or more of those house models. Nothing suspicions, unlike Chiranosuke said.

But i noticed the clock in Ito's room. I thought:
Maybe they're broken since "Zero" attack. Or your 3rd variant. And, of course, a mistake.
Strange thing is that Ito, apparently, seen Harakiri List at 23rd, but why Yuuta immediately found this video on 26? And to worsen the situation date difference between strange clock and "actual" date is 3 days.
Could that REI(like in "spirit")ZOUKO thing messing with Yuuta's timeline?

Maybe someone who has Twitter account should ask Uchikoshi if this is mistake or not. -___-"

About box - my guess is that it was recorded right after bus incident but before Yuuta awakened in spirit form (since room is not sealed yet). At that moment spirit that got his body got instructions (he was quite serious and shocked when reading it) and other stuff (like seals, and that book if it even exists).

Another show that is ripped apart because self-declared anime fans are not willing to change their perspective one bit. Punchline works by its own special set of rules, but within those rules, it works just great and in terms of quality it's a great show. But yeah, shit ratings, shit preorders, because it dares not to be like the others. I hate this fucking fandom.

Can't believe he waited 20 seconds.

I'm sure Kenji is in Yuta's body. He even went back to the house.

Yuta can't lie to himself. He's interested in kiddy pantsu.

There is only one joke here - the anime itself... Freak show for inadequate people which ready to make excuses literally for any crap.

"B-but there are working other rules in this anime and idiots just can not adapt to it!" Well, is there some alternative rule like "all bad is good!"? Ok, I clearly see it but it's not how it work.

"All of you just have not any patience!" Yeah, sure, because 3 boring nonsense episodes in a row is somehow "ok" in anime with 12 episodes in total.
