Fun episode, and the nonsensical babbling at the beginning was hilarious.

If anyone needs help with the Japanese subtitles at the beginning, I have posted a complete translation on my blog! Enjoy ^^

Lmao, the first bit was really exhausting if you wanted to read all the subtitles and subsubtitles and signs and whatnot. xD

Middle part was good but the last part was the best. Really nice episode.

Yeah, the beginning was confusing as hell.

What was the deal with the subtitles and gibberish?
A.F.K.s release had 2 lines of subtitles too. They we're shown at the same time but they were different. Does that mean that all the gibberish made sense somehow and the other one was for the text on the screen?

Anyway, it made about as much sense as my post above.

lol It was a technique. The subtitles were a little off from what they were saying. I'm not sure about afk's sub but I think they would have subbed the dialog and translated the subtitles, so you would have two sets to read.

They were babbling nonsense noises. The top subs were from the actual Perry chapter of the manga, the bottom subs were for the Japanese subs which made up an entirely different dialogue, and that whole sequence probably makes zero sense if you haven't read it. At any rate, I lol'd.

This really is SZS to the extreme. Everything leaves me in a state of confusedness, despair, ecstasy and anxiety.

I can't wait to be drugged watch the next episode.

Imo, it was really boring. I haven't taken any liking to ZSZS at all as of yet.
Dropping under consideration, I'll give it another 2 or 3 episodes though.

It got kind of annoying pausing every few seconds, because I can't read the top and bottom of my screen at the same time. But eh, back in season one I did that all the time to read the blackboard. Funny stupidity continues to be funny stupidity, and thus I enjoyed the episode, and look forward to the next.

That was obscene, had to pause on the usual screen filled with text but I barely managed to read both subs before the next lot came on.

Perhaps some cross eyed speed reading freak would have fared better than me.

i just gave up at some point and read one set of subtitle, which made it a lot funnier. i might have to go back and rewatch it. but i loved the babbling!!! it made me laugh.

Dont open: "back of psx (they wont let youreturn it) " and "parents bedroom" <- hahaa

oh, and the rest of the parts were great too. The "master of chic" avatars were hysterical.
"yuna's outfit" <- reffering to ffx-2?
"swavorski's cell phone" <- hahaa

and i loved the "old" scene where there were tanks and such
"old soviet union"

oh, and i laughed so hard when maria told him he could marry one of the immigrants haha

it was great. but it took a long time for me to catch a lot of it and i'll still have to go back and watch things. but it was a good episode. <3

I had trouble keeping up with the two lines of subs in the beginning, and it took a few lines to figure out which was which. It wasnt the best episode- especially since I liked the 1st. SZS is like that though, so Ill keep watching.

Omfg, haha, I am pretty sure that insane part with both translations on the top and bottom -

Bottom - Fuura's perspective. lol.

Top - Normal, everyone's perspective, what was actually being said.

Since the first episode was in normal girl's perspective, I am wondering if a bunch of these episodes are going to be from the other girls' perspectives.

What an insane episode, yes. lol.

Have to agree, this's one crazy episode. Although the premise and most of the happenings in the first part are genuinely stupid, the references totally made it.

Same here. I'd really like to see some anime use that style. The closest I've seen is Paradise Kiss, but it's still quite a bit off.

I think the ending was drawn by the illustrator of Trinity Blood manga...

Whoa....I read the Japanese subs + 2 layer english subs + random stuff displayed = brain fried.... I was so disorientated afterwards....

Ikkyu reference + play with words (kyuu= ichinichi) most random thing I have ever seen...

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.

btw for the smart ones, if you had the time to read the two subs you would notice that they all generally said the same thing only slightly different. Probably should have read the bottom set first (text) and if you wanted watched the top set a second time around (audio/manga)

...but then again what kind of person would re watch an anime right? ^_^

btw the captions on the bottom were classic "show me your OOOOO"
