----------------------------------------
The room "cleanup" scenes present some good examples of knowing where to cut when doing visual comedy. Chisa's first visit, especially.

You can cut some of the execution part and go straight to conclusion in the Setup->Execution->Conclusion chain, especially when the viewers can already easily extrapolate what happens in between the setup and the conclusion. Otherwise you're just dragging the punchline and lessening its impact.

If we saw Chisa's assault in progress there instead of just seeing the aftermath, that would have been way less comedic and risk looking more like an actual violent assault.

This episode manages a great feat: it's even more boring than the first one.
I kept looking at my watch, counting the minutes until the episode would be over. I really don't see why this show was so hyped.

The room scenes are funny. It's better than the first episode. 3/5 for the episode.

Iori getting his senpais to decorate his room and rating porn hahaha

Of course, his room looked a hundred times better when Imamura loliconned and yaoi’d it. Imamura is truly best boy, always and forever. His lolicon otaku shirt and his loli poster copies gives me life.

I can’t get enough of his senpais flashing him all the time, especially when he went under water inside the pool and opened his eyes to see his senpai’s junk.

Of course Nanaka and Chisa are fucking hotties but I don’t ship Nanaka with Iori because she’s too good for him.

Omg, this adaptation just went from 'painfully average' to 'painfully bad'. It hurts my eyes just watching that cheap animation, but I'm gonna stick around at least until next episode to see my bae Azusa :3

The OP is so good! Already loving it.

Iori is living the life, 3 days there and he still hasn't slept at home xD The room decoration part was so guy, i couldn't stop laughing hahaha
His senpais are the best xD

For real, it's only the 2nd episode and for it's already a 9/10!

the comedy setups became already very predictable. Its not funny when they dont get you by suprise. I think i laughed harder in the first few episodes of Ballroom e Youkoso even though its not a comedy series by any means.

idk...

Loved the room decorating gag. Pretty interesting how they managed to have three different scenes in half an hour -- that's less than eight minutes per.

This episode was a bit better, I hope this show will continue to grow on me and be really enjoyable.

Also that souvenir that Iori got Chisa reminded me of Ikalgo from HxH lol.

I'm not sure why, but the manga felt like it had more of punch to its comedy than the anime. Almost like the whole feeling of the anime is toned down, or less impressive.

I like the comedy in this one. Sure the room design thing was dragged a bit but still the faces that they make lol. I'm enjoying this and I'm glad I do cause each episode takes a lot of space in my phone but I will continue downloading the 1080p resolutions cause really the visuals are stunning and the artstyle is just perfect.

They are dicking around too much. This joke is probably more funny than whole 2nd ep.

Kind of an average episode, at least the girls made a better impression this time. It will really start to get good next episode, once best girl finally appears.

The room decorating set up was really funny. Didn't expect that they are beginning to do "club" activities since they only think about drinking lol Chisa is getting used to seeing Iori naked lmao

I feel like this anime appeals to a subset of horny otaku males. 2 episodes is enough for me to confirm that I won't be able to sit through all of this

Is the manga that much better than the anime? I don't see any problems with it imo. Ryu is so fucking funny but the person who really gives the anime the comedy we need is Kouhei. One of the funniest anime characters ever!

When Nanaka walked into Iori's room and it was full of posters of sexy girls, it made me laugh

It turns out that Chisa is a kind and caring person for Iori

They may have used the misunderstood comedy with the room posters too much. Also, wear some pants.

Brother, what can I say about this series? 😂
You have nothing to say, everyone in that Grand Blue store is dubious. Especially his uncle. And poor Chisa received an altar from Iori, 😂😂 if she had seen Nanaka she would have fainted for sure. 😂💙

Why very few replies in the episode discussion threads. It seems on par with many good comedies. Plus it is a seinen.

Men in this series sure love to be around naked, and it seems like everyone's already used to it lol. Though that room segment cracked me up good and btw i'll prefer that first arrangement( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

After a while (like the second or third time) even the most tsundere of people would understand it's people goofing around and that Iroi isn't actually a yaoi fan. Still hilarous though.

this is not seinen at all.. everything evolves around guys being naked between guys... even in ED...
even that Chisa is reacting different to him and other boys.. she is angry only at him being naked and so on...

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

That's the face that perfectly describes your reaction to seeing your room decorated with BL, after a misunderstanding.
