----------------------------------------
LOVING that it begins with the narration by Chiaki.

OP... reusing the OP from first season? of "M I N A MIKE" chanting. Feel nostalgic, though.

Random as always. Devil and Angel... Devil is so grown-up and sexy!!

ED... kind of resembles the old ED. Ohhhhhh, cannot wait to see Male Minami-ke next ep.!

I found this episode fairly weak. The characters were't funny or charming enough to carry this otherwise unambitious show.

I can't tell whether this episode was just plain shit, or my tastes have changed and I don't enjoy Minami-ke anymore. Both options are depressing.

Anyways, it's nice to have Minami-ke back. Hopefully we see some Hosaka/Minami brothers soon as well, because they're the funniest characters other than Kana.

Hmm i feel less interested with Minami-ke ... which is a little sad seeing as i really loved the first and third season . The opening and ending is awesome though. Chiaki asking the same question over and over again LOL.

This was a great ep compared to the previous two seasons.

It felt similar to the first season and had the same charm. The quirks of each character was there which is part of what lacked previously imo.

One thing I miss though is the character designs of the first season. It was far superior but atleast the charm of the show is back.

Now we'll see if they can make Hosaka as awesome as first season.

I had a lot of faith in Feel because Kiss x Sis is one of my favorite anime but I was little worried how they manage to make Minami-Ke because Feel usually makes Ecchi stuff. But Feel really over exceeded my expectations. Awesome! :D

Disappointed. Not even remotely as good as season 1, and probably on par with season 2. And that's bad since its S1>S3>S2~S4.

Hoping that it'll get better.

Little bored because the same jokes are a bit getting old.

The kotatsu part was okay. At least the animation is okay too.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Perhaps it was the art style that was mesmerizing me, but I felt like MInami-ke made a strong comeback with this episode. I'm not seeing how people are so bitter towards this fourth season.

Now this is more like the Minami-ke that I enjoyed. The style's finally much more similar to season 1.

Though I still miss the "serious close-up faces".

loving the OP reminds me of well.. the older ones like a lot lol

Then what the hell are you even doing here?

Good stuff. More Minami-ke is never a bad thing. The first season is probably my favorite slice of life not named Aria.

They actually managed to conceive a character even cuter than Uchida - how is this even possible? :-O Miyuki could make you kill yourself if she wanted to...

Haruka suddenly being childish was funny, too. In fact, I think I enjoyed everything about this episode. No complaints from me so far :-)

I hated the first episode of the fourth season.

1. I absolutely hated how they tried a 'moe' look, I want the old studio back!! >:(
2. Though Chiaki got some nice screentime at the very start, it isn't in her nature to be talkative, only when insulting.
3. And I hated how they introduced the characters like it was the first season, since it was the fourth season (might of been good for the people who just heard of the anime though).
4. For some reason, Keiko is able to deal with Kana... SINCE WHEN?!
5. Devil and Angel Chiaki did not contradict each other? Why? One is a Devil and the other is an Angel.
6. They made Haruka act immature... (That was kinda nice) But was go out of character!! UGH! That should of been Kana having a fit over it, and Chiaki insulting/persuading Kana to put it away.

[... ...]

The reasons you provided are precisely why I enjoyed it. It provided depth to the characters, preventing them from staying one-dimensional, showing that they have personalities beyond their designated archetypes. It also prevented the series from making the same jokes over and over again. Or rather, they served to put slight twists to to keep the old jokes alive.

I don't see their actions as being out of character. I see it as enhancing their existing charms.
