This show is just so good. I love the over arching story, but the comedy in this show seals the deal. I can't get over how this show is actually funny, well written comedy, hard to fine.

This show has been an endearing comedy until now, but this episode had surprising amounts of pathos. Tsukime's "I want to be a jellyfish" scene was very sad and beautifully executed.

It's not a cooincidence that Kuranosuke called the returning boarders "a pile of trash". This is how society sees them and how they see themselves, which is why they run and hide from most people. Most shows about weirdos don't deal with this side of it because it isn't pleasant.

I notice Shu's mom (who isn't Kuranosuke's mom) never had her face on camera. This is because she's not an important character but the way her head changes position to avoid showing the face in several successive shots really draws attention to the fact. It makes me feel a little bad that she's being ignored like this. Consider that she's eating breakfast with her husband's illegitimate son and it makes me think this was all quite deliberate. If so, what a wonderful use of a nothing character.

I also noticed the close-ups showing Shu and Kuranosuke locking their rooms as they went out. Great incidental characterization and atmosphere creation. What kind of family is it that they casually lock their rooms with huge keys before going out? It's obviously a habit as they do it while holding a totally unrelated conversation.

The show's really elevated itself. I was enjoying it a lot but now I'm kind of intrigued.

Gotta love makeovers! I'm really worried about when the Nunnery finds out Kuranosuke is a dude.... And I'm pretty willing to bet Tsukimi is going to end up with him, Shu is sort of an ass

Funny episode!! The transformation is really something! Although they changed, they still look like themselves (in other words, it's a realistic change)! Not unlike other transformations in other titles where they change so much they are no longer recognisable with their old selves!

The funniest part for me was when kuranosuke was explaining to chieko how she didnt have to change anything about herself because it was all about "framing" haha!

The ugly ducklings become swans of the beautiful, can not wait.
Plot demonizing some, the concept of work of women, but not entirely wrong, OK.
Narration pleasant, funny and sad at different times, this is its strength, so go easy on the one end to the other without missing
Kuranosuke puts a bit of salt to Amars, nice.
Drawings, animations and dialogues promoted.

Another funny little episode. It also looks like Kuran has the power to make Tsuki happy even when she feels at her lowest. I wonder how the make over will go over for all of them. Also we have our "slutty" buiesness women.

Tsukimi is brokenhearted because she saw Shuu with a beautiful girl while sharing an umbrella.

Kuranosuke decided to help the Sisterhood to fight for their apartment and made them look decent. Haha. After being brokenhearted, Tsukimi feels lighter because Kuranosuke then? Ohmygod. This is slowly turning to a romance show. Why is there no romance tag? Hahaha.

Kuranosuke is pure genius and a great friend. I want the girls to take control of their identity like this, it'll be interesting to see their characters in this light.

It looks like Shu didn't actually realize that Tsukimi was one of the ghouls of Amamizu-kan, pretty much breaking her heart because of how cold he acted and how he was walking with that career woman who turned out to be a very unpleasant thot.

Kuranosuke misinterpreted the situation and took it upon himself to transform the Amamizu Ghouls into battle-ready warriors so she won't feel so down. It's good that it actually helped her cheer up.

Mayaya acting all adamant and stubborn yet she didn't really fight back against the make-over xD

From a narrative point of view, Shuu not being able to recognize Tsukimi kinda annoys me. I mean, leaving the hair style aside, she looks exactly the same, red glasses included. Hopefully the dude will connect the dots soon.

Next episode's preview looks rather... suggestive but knowing Shuu's personality, I'm sure nothing will happen between him and that whore career woman.

I like the idea kuranosuke presented of dressing up being half the battle. Presentation can be a big deal especially vs. those suits. Can't wait for more things to unfold.

I thought that Shuu didn't recognize her the first time because of that smeared around her eyes make up, but he does it again for no reason and it's disappointing... I shipped them (the thing I rarely do)
update - since even
fail to recognize her in the upcoming episodes, I guess it's just something we are not supposed to take seriously after all.

Will Shu really get seduced by that Vixen? I don't like him but I don't want him breaking Tsukimi's heart. Also yeah he's dense I wonder when he'll notice that she's the same person?
