Made of awesome. This series.

Irabu's charisma and 'strange' methods of treatment make every episode a enjoyable experience. I laughed so hard when Ikeyama farted on the elevator. Poor nurse, though. Liked the resolution too.

Even while the pacing is rather strange, specially on the latter scenes, I never felt it as rushed or anything. You may call it 'spontaneous'. And that's why I like this series so much. Because it's spontaneous.

Definitely a very entertaining ep. It was also a good perk to hear other seiyuu favs Toei likes to use like Kikuchi Masami in there XD

This show is great. This time around I especially liked the cardboard-characters on the metro, stacked one on top of the other to get out one by one... No other show ever gave me the impression of "useless background crowd" like this one.

Also: on gg's release there's the trailer for the first Higashi no Eden movie.

Just great.

Loved this episode. It's so funny, because I think to some extent, everyone gets these thoughts and it was told so well. This is by far my favorite patient.

Agreed on the chameleon head. The car designs I loved since episode 1 or er 2 I think Is when I noticed.

Best episode for me as well, humor me some more Ibaru.

Pure genius.

Irabu is just too awesome in his ways. I laughed at his "evil" chuckle and look

And the faculty head.....

I liked the positive ending. Somehow, no matter how disturbing the episode is, I always like how they end the episode on a positive note.

+10 to the Bando reference as well (I like how they keep making cameo appearances)
bla bla bla
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.

First thing I noticed in the episode was Sanji's voice.

They used Nessun Dorma very nicely in this episode. XD

The chameleon's LOL face was priceless. Pretty obvious why the animal was a chameleon this time.

Awesome episode with so many memorable scenes! I loved Hiroaki in this! That part when Ike was imagining himself pressing the button on the train station was so damn funny! This ep probably had the best ending up until now as well. The kid made laugh stupidly xD

Well we all know it so I won't say the thing, but is kinda weird is that doctor everywhere? Wasn't he on the stadium with Bando during that game the one he's watching with the family there?

I've deduced it to being one of two things: The injection has something in it, or the doctor we see following them around everywhere is a convention for the show that is really just a way of showing them in conversation during therapy sessions without doing the whole sitting on a couch thing. The conversations we see are a combination of what was said in previous and subsequent sessions.

Finally, an episode that matches up to the greatness that was the second episode. Loved the patient's problem in this one. Much easier to follow and figure out than the last ones. The chameleon transformation was great too.

As far as I know, there won't be any female patient, e.g. Hoshiyama is a woman in the original novels. In any way, I hope to be wrong.

Amazing! was laughing through the whole episode. BandoooooooOOOoo was simply excelent.

I love trying to figure out what each thing means in every episode, although I don't get it completely I love it. What intrigues me the most are the 3 'personalities' (Id, Ego and Superego) of Irabu. Hope they enlight us about it later : )

That was my favorite episode as well! I'm glad the could keep me entertained because I was starting to get bored with the last too episodes. :p It was really fun to watch the patients "treatment"! I hope the next episodes are this good too.

That's what I think too. And it's quite an interesting way to show it. :)

Awesome. The episodes are always hilarious when the patients are just as funny as Irabu. Elevator scene and diving towards the couch while watching baseball were the funniest parts to me.

At first I kind of thought that another OCD case would become dull, however, it was handled in a wonderful way. This is easily on of my favorite episodes thus far.

This is getting more and more fantastic... I love this scene in the train, where he starts doing pull-ups, and the cardboard 'non-characters' around him *pop* into existence because he's pushing them outside of their comfort bubbles... Genius.

Damn. It was a great watch!! So many noteworthy moments there..

The elevator scene, "BanddddoooOOOoOOo"-shout scene, Wig scene and the push ups. LMAO

Irabu's method of solving the patient's problem was exceptional.

At first, I thought he's making the problem worse but after the wig scene, I seem to get what's the rationale of his method. Pure genius!!

Also, chameleon transformation was awesome.. :D

Lol, I can't say I have never thought of doing any of those before, not the farting lol, but the train pull-up. Sanji would probably wish he was in this Ikeyama's shoes when Mayumi gave him the injection.

Edit: Seems like the next case will be cell phone addiction, most of the youngsters nowadays do have that addiction.
