THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I'm not sure what should I write about this episode.

The 1st is a spinoff about Kei being a transfer student in Cuticle Academy.
The 2nd is about Hiroshi and Haruka 13 years ago.
The 3rd is about Don Valention and Lorenzo visiting Bar Ragdoll where Kei's roommate is working.
The 4th is similar to 2nd story, only with Yataro.
The 5th is somewhat serious story but still has some comedy in it, in the end it turns out it is just Hiroshi's storytelling.

Looks like the next episode will be only 2 story again and the 2nd story is only the first half.

first story: nice one. everything was really rushed, but they just had a few minutes, so i can deal with it.

second story: pretty lame, unfortunately.

third story: i don't even...

fourth story: lame again.

fifth story: i guess that's how the show would be without the comedy? not bad, but i prefer the "silly" episodes.

i didn't really like this episode. it's okay to add some short stories now and then, but somehow they weren't that funny and because of that i hope they'll continue with the actual story as soon as possible.

A weaker episode, but I still loved it. It was nice to see some more backstory, either way.

Don was really BA in the last story hahaha. Loved the seriousness but I still prefer the usual silly stuff :)

Lol'd at the 1st story when Noah told him that Yataro is a hug pillow XDXDXD

The Bartender extra was funny too.

I keep asking myself why I watch this. It is so weird and to be honest not all that funny. But I kind of like it for some reason.

This episode was a bit too weird for me, I had no idea what was going on.

It's not often that you get to see a comedy series like this attempt serious humor. I think it was a good change of pace and well executed too. Serious Valentino is win!

Didn't really liked the beginning but that last story was kinda awesome. It's nice to see a show try something different :D This week's Sasami@Ganbaranai was kinda more serious too.

This was gloriously funny as it parodied so many things, but most of all hard-boiled-detective tropes! The writing in this series has turned out to be brilliant!

Too many side stories all at once. In fact, only side stories this week. And they felt more like fillers to me.

Well, I did like the "Cuticle Academy" part and the one with Valentino and Lorenzo in the bar. That joke about the "body pillow" was especially awesome. "I didn't think you'd actually hug him". Just priceless ^^

lol @ part 1, and awwwwwe @ part 2. lol @ the bartender of part 3. He sounds like Hino-san (thought so). What?? He's Kei's "guardian" or some sort?? lol~

Part 4.. that little guy is too cute! Wow @ the yagi in part 5 is more fierce than the actual one. And is while Kei's sick.

Finally back to regular 2 stories per ep. next time.

it was actually interesting watching what this show would be like if it had a more serious tone... not that i liked it more, i prefer the silliness and the randomness but i can let it go for one episode, wouldn't say a weak episode more like a different perspective!

^This my thought exactly

Last part shocked me..
What's going on with Don's appearance/artstyle?
I thought it was serious, until Don couldn't stopped that sword
and even get shot by Gabriela...
It's bad luck Don XD

Kei, may you rest in.. pieces peace

Next ep, Yuuta get kidnapped
How dare you kidnap Yuuta?!!

Was confused for basically the whole episode, but it was still very funny. It's great to watch this anime, because you know you'll get to laugh.

I can't help but agree with that! xD It really is..

Anyways the stories of their childhoods were really cute. I enjoyed those the most I think. Overall funny episode, but I also hope they get back to the main story. While this anime is random, it does have a plot :D But thanks for the laughs!
