Heh, that got weird. That giant Koala warrior or whatever it is made me chuckle while some of the character rivalries were amusing to watch.

The hero gimmick made me laugh this episode since as I thought the mood and scene was priceless with the soundtrack.

Ikumi's sense of smell doesn't lead to the culprit, but is very good at picking up highly perverted stuff...

Have those girls become so attuned to debating things that they will start doing it for anything? A 'letter' pieced together from remnants from the fire, a 'customer opinion card' outside a shop, a lost cat sign, ema hung up at a shrine...

After Ikumi abandons the others, they get suspicious and start stalking her. Which leads eventually to information about Ikumi's childhood, and the hero she admired - Koganen. Which finally explains that scene in the ED.

If you look at the resumes of their past work, there is an excellent team behind
this series. But they got off to a bad start in Episode 1. I blame the poor story
telling on insufficient time to adapt the light novel into the anime storyboard.
Ultimately, that was a management decision, based on pressure to have it air this
cour as opposed to the next cour. I suspect that the production team was not at
fault.

In any case, I strongly feel that these people have pulled this series out of the
t**l*t. Telling a great story in the form of a light novel is a completely different
activity from telling a great story through an anime. It is not a matter of adapting
a light novel so much as coming up with a new work of art which is inspired by
the original.

At this point, I think that they are firing on all cylinders. Unfortunately, they lost a
lot of audience in the very beginning. However, over the past two weeks, Jinsei
jumped sharply from 1300 to 1800 Amazon Stalker points for Blu-ray pre-orders.

Thanks go to Rederoin for maintaining those lists of his:

As for Ikumi's remarkable sense of smell, I doubt that she could detect a Blu-ray
or DVD buried in the grass, but perhaps a "bVb" disc case gives off a strong odor.
Also, it is lucky that they were able to play that "bVb" on their laptop.

Koganen!!! o/

"A child's skin will give him power" - I lost it when I read this from the subbed lyrics, wahaha!

Anyways, I can't wait to find out who the real culprit is that burned their life advice suggestion box. That is if they plan to continue that towards the next episode. >.> Next episode's preview is different. xD

Jinsei is probably one of the underrated shows of this season. Too bad,
since it's actually quite enjoyable.


Its popularity in Japan can be traced from week to week based on the pre-orders
of Blu-rays and DVDs which are reported in terms of "Amazon Stalker points".

On July 21st, early in the season, it was at 1300 points.

Then there was the beach episode where Yuuki had to save himself from being
bashed on the head by Rino with the baseball bat while she was trying to hit the
watermelon while blindfolded. Episode 4 ("Summer Things") aired on July 27th.
This scene: http://s2.dmcdn.net/GOhbo/x240-2GB.jpg

As of August 4th, the pre-orders had soared all the way up to 1800 points.

There has been less fanservice in the episodes since then, and I checked just now
and it has fallen right back down to 1300 points.

Many thanks to Rederoin for maintaining his webpage which tracks the historical
variation week-by-week of Amazon Stalker points.

Seems they have a new mystery to solve tho something tell me that either the rival president did or the one who submitted that letter for the closet pervert request.
Still it seems we have to wait a while for that question to be answered.
Also seems the perpetrator likes hentai anime revolving around school council presidents.

Ikumi had some spotlight in this episode but I felt like it didn't really go anywhere besides the fact that the market superhero is her inspiration. Emi is a main character right? So why is this show half way done and not a hint of her is even shown?


Less fanservice replaced with actual hentai in this episode too.

So.... uhhh, when is the pink haired chick gonna appear? Don't tell me she's the culprit. Also, plus points for fooling me with the smug looking student council president in the opening who turned out to be the heroine of a hentai.

I look at all of this stuff people have written.
My only thought is: "I want nendroids or plushies of their chibi versions.
They're so cute!
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Their suggestion box was the unlucky victim of arson!

LOL, that's an epic burned suggestion XD.

Hahahaha, Ikumi's sense of smell is the best.

LOL, porn magazines as evidence...

Ah, so Ikumi has someone she likes huh.

Now that's some dramatic voice over lol.

Koganen... he's just an older guy lol.

Koganen! Hahaha. Those lyrics are too cheesy.

And love Fumi's voice over... we will do a double suicide by choking ourselves with French baguette. Hahaha.

The student council president we see in the opening is the one in the DVD... I didn't expect they can air it like that.

This time, the craziness and the humor seen in the narrative, make it enjoyable episode.
Summing up what we have seen, I have not bored and I liked it a lot more than two previous episodes.
Drawings and animations of good quality, we see who is behind the famous cult called HHH.
