 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Shit episode was shit I had hopes for the series after the (very good) last one, with its serious tone, nice character moments etc. but this was just plain stupid. |

| Loved the ping pong scene. |
| For various anime and seiyuu stuff http://www.youtube.com/user/KaitouDark55 |
| That was the most random episode i ever saw. I was kinda depressed. Why are the directors neglecting this anime? |
    |
| A lot of you who want tear-jerking drama every episode are looking for it in the wrong genre. Do the words shōnen, Harem, and Comedy somehow filter out for you guys when you decide what anime to watch and you're browsing through the genre listings?? Rate a series on how well it executes the elements it's designed to portray, not on whether or not it has your "favorite" elements. If you dislike the average harem comedy to begin with, why are you even watching this? What most of you are doing is tantamount to saying Macbeth is bad because it's depressing...No crap it's depressing! It's a tragedy! Likewise with this, no crap it's random and over the top! it's a COMEDY! I can understand 7/10, 6/10, hell 5/10 scores for those who don't find the humor funny or the romance relatively decently played out. I personally do. What I don't understand is those who are giving it scores of 1 and 2 when the series is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. |

| What the hell did I just watch? lol'd quite often and hard though so all is fine. |
| The ping pong scene sold me on laughs. Still trying to figure out wtf was with the girl and her magical appearing robe of cockblockery! |
| the table tennis scene was stupid as hell |
| So random. At least the episode tried a different comedic approach. I especially liked the ping pong match and the two guys warming up each other with their naked bodies. XD And how come this episode had like 90% nudity. Is AIC practicing drawing anatomy? 5/5 just for the LOLWTFness factor. |

| What's up with this episode? It was bizarre. And the fanservice was not that good either. But I'm now interested in that new girl. She might prove to be fun. |
| 2/5 I did giggle when the dude was like, "I will protect you." The rest was unsurprising crap. I am very much enjoying the mixture of directing for a hopefully disastrous train-wreck of a series. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration but I hope it will be. |
| I thought the ping pong scene was funny...but other than that I didn't like this episode at all. This was just too random and overall I didn't think the comedy was that great. It might of helped if we were eased into this trip. I really hope the rest of the episodes are better. (I'm usually pretty tolerant when it comes to the anime I watch but this episode was hard to get through). |
| This is what happens when you finish an episode THE WEEK BEFORE IT AIRS. You could tell it was rushed, the 3.5 minute long ping pong scene with music that didn't fit at all was a dead give away. For a show that had quite a bit of promise from the first 3 episodes to this crap is really depressing, and I can see the drop rate skyrocketing after this junk. Shame too though Ichiban is probably the better Harem this season anyway. |
 |
| Ahahahahahaha! It's like I just watched SHAFT animation. This is what happens when you use new director for every episode. The first and second episodes were horrible, but the third episode actually showed some promise. I'm disappointed. =/ |

I don't know whether it was either an attempt to be funny or just they were trying to just waste time or even both maybe. I guess this ep was okay, but so far the series is all over the place in my opinion. |
 |
| It's like I'm watching something from Shaft...I fucking loved this episode. I really wish they had this director for all of the episodes so they could be all as fucked up as this one. |
| Ok™ |

| Meh, I had a few giggles, but worst episode so far. The ping-pong scene was going too long (to the point where I was like "ARE THEY STILL ON THESE DAMN FIVE FRAMES?") until they started moving in slow-motion, then it was epic. "I will protect you." Serious rib convulsion in laughter. |
 |
| Ok what was that..lol |
 |
| rotfl! best episode so far! =D |
| that was the most unexpected and craziest episode of the season. Everyone's expressions were priceless |
 |
| This was a really funny episode. The comedy was spot-on, and not just generic stupid shit like in other anime. The ping-pong scene had really good timing, and a lot of the comedy, including the slapstick, was really effective imo. All around solid episode. Also, Kaho is love. |
| Wow, what a horrible episode. The only time I laughed was the pin pong part. Plus the animation was horrible this episode as if they got new animators or something |
| lol was kinda shitty at some parts but hilarious at others so it was only ok |
 |
| I compare the ping pong scene to one of those Youtube Poop videos that loop the same shit over and over and over and over. For the record, I hate those videos. And seriously, everyone was waaaaay out of character in this episode. Takumi hasn't been a weak Keitaro-like protagonist at all up to this point, so why on earth is he now? Sorry, this show was bad to start with, but it looked like it was going to crawl out of its trope-infested hole last week, and then we get this shit. I got sick of this kind of thing after an episode and a half of the Love Hina anime, why would I want to watch it again? And for those of you comparing this episode to a SHAFT show...er...what? |
| Loved how hit or miss this series is starting to become... Honestly this did feel way off path considering last week's ep. Funny nonetheless, ping pong scene I was not particularly fond of. Nozomi and the fan was great, as well as the forest adventures for the guys. I'm not entirely sure which direction this series is going anymore. We had light comedy up till this ep, which was just straight gag. In for the ride since it's on my active FAL team. Gags were mostly standard for onsen style eps, but the little personal touches sets it apart a bit. Not enough for gold, but good enough for the show itself. |
 |
| *sigh* this episode was f* up! |
| That was better than the last 3 combined. Hilarious. |
| Weirdest episode so far. |
| Theres mutherfucking yaoi in mah ecchi scene. Kurgash said: magical appearing robe of cockblockery! Plus I would hate to find out the bodyguards were watching the whole time. |

And for those of you comparing this episode to a SHAFT show...er...what? Yeah I also felt Takumi wasn't anything like what I remembered him being like from the previous episodes. I thought maybe it's cuz I just didn't remember or something. And to the SHAFT comment..that's what I was wondering. SHAFT doesn't deserve to be compared to this episode.. like many others, I thought the last episode was pretty good, but this episode was disappointing. I laughed at a couple parts (the ping pong scene was not one of them). That ping pong scene lasted way too long too. I just hope the next episode will be better... |
| And that episode went in a totally different direction than the one before it. Quality drop off? Hell yeah. But I can't say it wasn't funny because parts of it were hilarious. Takumi definitely made out better than Ieyasu, though Ieyasu didn't seem to unhappy the morning after lol. Kaho is interesting. Maybe she'll transfer to their school? |
 |
| we went from plot to family guy i smell filler not that it wasn't funny, the fan "nya-a-a-a-a" and the yaoi sold it. |
| the masochist says "hurt me! hurt me!" the sadist replies "no" |
| Rule of thumb: Any anime with a hot springs episode is bound to suck I don't mind the 'cliches' every now and then, but when I can pretty much recite line for line what's gonna happen I gotta question the quality |
| "I'll protect you.." lolwut? xD Weird and hilarious episode. Had me lol-ing on the ping pong and 'yaoi' scene. |
| it seems they tried to hard on the humour i felt too forced, but i did lol at the "I'll protect you.." i woke up my gf cuz i couldnt hold it in |
garfield15 said: How can you call this the worst episode so far compared to the disastrous first ep... Easily the best ep so far. Meh, I had a few giggles, but worst episode so far. The first 10 mins were bad (no worse than the rest of the series), but the second half was great. Also finally a second character who isn't annoying... (other one is cat girl). |
| Eh? what the? episode is not making sense.. with annoying first half and wasteful pingpong scene.. good thing Kaho somehow compensated it for me.. and LOL at the "i'll definitely protect you".. |

| Coming from the first 3 episodes, this just didn't fit. I laughed throughout most of it and all, but like everyone is saying, it felt really random. |
