| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, this episode was silly. Fumi took the spotlight though as she tries to battle the odds. I am quite proud of her and the teamwork :3 I spot some swimsuits. |

| So this contest is getting filmed and streamed over the internet. On niconico, in fact. Under the name "Jinsei" And two of the 'members' of the first newspaper club are fakes. Love hotel guy lost. Ha! Serves him right. The next two are fighting before they even begin. And it doesn't get better. The winner is pretty obvious, but Ikumi doesn't seem too bothered, even taking the opportunity to do some stretches. If Kouta wanted Shino to lose, why did he pair her up against Ikumi? That's Fumi's grandfather, isn't it? So it is. Him not being there actually gives her the chance to argue him back for the first time. And she gives a nice little speech that causes him to accept his loss. Much to Kouta's (short-lived) disappointment. Oh well, let him be disappointed. That 95.2%. The one who thus gets the worst punishment was just asleep the whole time. And talking of people who are asleep... Ikumi doesn't seem very able to stay awake. Although she always manages to come up with an answer. |

| I liked enjoying this series every week. The thing however is why I'm wondering the heavy dialogue here is something that not many people translate it as opposed to anything by Nisio Isin? There's not real plot yet and I wasn't surprised that many people gives a lot of flak elsewhere due to low hype, but since the writter of Spice & Wolf and YnS is involved in this one, I can guaranteed it will have a lot of drama once we got halfway into the series. I loved this one more than GJ-bu because there's little more to it, but I found the fanservice to be a bit bland. Still a very entertaining watch for me nonetheless. |

I'm actually talking about their anime adaptations, they are all written by Naruhisa Arakawa, a man who also worked in a lot of tokusatsu as well a few others, like Maoyuu, Hikaru no Go, Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai! and Outbreak Company. |
| Throughout the "game show" part, they constantly had those white viewer comments flashing from right to left across the screen. I guess it was going out as a webcast. At 05:45/23:59, when Rino was sitting way up on the red chair, one of the comments was: 眼鏡っ娘は俺の嫁 meganekko ha ore no yome The glasses girl is my bride. Here, the "ha" is pronounced like "wa" in "water". Then later at 08:30/23:59, somebody commented: 眼鏡っ娘サイコー meganekko psycho Psycho glasses girl. Among English-speaking anime fans, the word "meganekko" is often used to describe girls who wear glasses. From the above two comments, you can see that some people like meganekko and others don't. Here are two interesting articles about meganekko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meganekko http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Meganekko |

It was on nico nico as per (note the address bar - the page it links to in reality is of course this one: http://ch.nicovideo.jp/jinsei_anime ) That's how the comment system works on nico nico - or at least it is if you have it turned on (personally I generally turn it off when watching stuff on there as it gets in the way of the video). |

| ^ Thanks for that explanation. Interesting. It's great that there is a way to turn off those comments. As Kyon said in Haruhi, I don't really have a glasses fetish anyway. |
| its too bad Fumi won...Lol'd at "not actual footage" |
 |
| I guess the episode was decent at best and that's it... |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Okay episode. Lol Ikumi doing situps while upside down. |
 |
| pretty good ep this anime needs more love :3 |

Fumi actually said something legitimately deep in this episode which is a breath of fresh air from seeing a lot of randomness and fanservice from this show. This show needs more of Fumi. Who the hell is monitoring this stream? Seriously, underage Japanese girls are getting molested by eels. |

| already half way done with this and still not a clue on who the pink hair girl is,WHO IS SHE?! |

| Competition this time. The type of punishments are to be expected. An okay episode. |
| Again another stupidly entertaining episode. Dat oreimo reference though |
| What are you looking here for |
| Well that was some interesting competing. Great episode!!! |
 |
| So the first news club lost while they where cheating. Must have been hard on them still i wonder what they will come up with next time considering there club president. And the answers where all over the place again like usual. The BBQ part was funny in it's own way. |
| That announcement about misjudging the content duration, is that real?? lol Quite an entertaining episode. The dream debate was surprisingly legit, well it depends on your perspective I suppose. One regret is we didn't get to see Rino got swarmed by leeches XD |
 |
| Quite a decent episode, the monk was surprisingly immoral LOL, and Asano was as perverted as ever. |
| Nekomimi!! |
| "Visit your ancestor's grave then make a beeline to the hotel." Modern monk ahaha XD! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Hmm. Another episode that cried out 'ordinary'. What's the point of having great girls in this show if those situations they are being put into aren't even funny? |
| Decent episode. Good thing the 1st newspaper club lose. They deserve that. Lol at the perverted monk. Hoping to see Emi, the pink haired art club member joins the 2nd newspaper club next. |

| Pretty good episode ... the competition was pretty funny. I can't believe Asano thought of all those "punishments" specifically for each person! XD Plus he was wrong every time about who would win too :P Good on Fumi to come back at her grandfather like that! Not to mention she eventually won him over ... haha, that was pretty good :3 Some of those "debates" were pretty legit, especially the last one ... I'm not too sure about the grave to love hotel date suggestion though LOL XD |
| Funny how the only original member of Asano's team actually won, whereas the specialists he brought in failed^^ |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| yup as some1 said the girl with the pink hair should have already appeared |
 |
| That contest scene with Fumi and her grandpa was funny, that even I do find the Grandpa's point to be strong, Fumi takes the cake. Still, we have no idea who the pink haired girl... can't wait to see more characters we see in the opening song. |

| I do not know what to say about this episode, I did not find very funny, maybe the previous one although not the fun had fanservice, today there is not even that, what a bore! Drawings and animations good. |
 |
| That contest was so silly really xD at least they won |
