My favorite parts of this episode:
1. It's a Sony! <----Best Ever
2. "Embarrassing" things
3. Akiba!, Mikuriya!

I think they had sponsorship from Sony. There's a Vaio in the other episodes.
I laughed out loud when they found out that it was a Betamax tape.
Akiba seems to be a Sony fanboy...

Actually, I'm surprised they gave permission for the anime to poke fun at their products. You'd think they'd be more wary of comparing their current experiment with the failed experiment that was Betamax, especially considering that Blu-ray has not yet taken over DVD's place .

When I was watching this episode that part with the BetaMax cracked me up but I wondered how many anime fans actually know of Betamax. My friend's husband thought I was too young to know what one was and I used to have a player 20 years ago. I just wonder how many ppl actually got that joke at all.

My friend told me about them. They lost because VHS offered 6 hours and beta could only offer mac 4 hours. Although betas were always higher in quality.

Same thing going with the DVDs HD just lost to bluray. That is why Sony is proud of Bluray such is the case in this episode.

Yeah my parents eventually bought a VHS player and that was the main reason why.

My dad and I am actually had a bet whether HD would beat Bluray. I won that bet since I voted for Bluray :)

I've read about BetaMix tapes, but I have never owned one or even seen one. Also, it was a long time ago that I read about them (though I remembered enough to get the joke). Still, I wonder how long they lasted... and how long blu ray will last.

yeah same here... really quite confusing.

Kind of an unusual episode format, but it seemed to work well and it was enjoyable. best part was the "embarrasing things" fiasco...

Lol this episode had me laugh so many times, too many funny scenes overall and great scenario. First few minutes I though Nagi was in the closet because of what happened last episode, then finally I realized it was about an episode of her favorite television program.

Lol great episode overall, and remember "It's a SONY".

The reason Nagi got offended was so silly lol. Really, Jin wastes too much time on her sometimes, and she just wanted to read some xxx manga ^____~

+Nagi, being stuck up in the closet, trying to get air to her you-know-where with Jin's pron magazines

=Awesome episode.

I loved the Blu-ray/Betamax references. 'It's a SONY!' Though that might be good for Akiba, it throws the rest of them.

Also love the end where Jin is talking to the closet, and where Nagi.... 'airs' herself....

The "godly episode" of the magical girl thing was funny as hell^^

Somehow I thought Jin had colored Nagi's hair or anything like that, because you couldn't see her face^^

This episode was okay, though I honestly didn't expect it all to revolve around Nagi and the closet.

=o= .. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this.. But.. This episode reminded me a whole lot of that myth with Amaterasu locking herself in a cave after her brother, Susan-o did something to make her angry.

=x=; Instead of the rice not being able to grow.. eh.. the show wouldn't of been able to progress?

idk, good episode though! Loved the ending!

Actually it was pretty funny.
Bluray saturation wasn't there yet in 2008.

The animation from the bug's perspective was amazing. I love when stuff is animated in 1st person.

IIRC, This ep isn't based on anything in the manga, which shows how well the anime adaptation understands the characters. The manga's a little more sedate, while the anime plays the visuals to the hilt. Ep 6 is based on Chapter 11, which was scanlated in 2008, about the same year as the anime. Which means that it's possible that the anime was catching up to the manga. Anyway, that would explain the lack of plot development, but I think Kannagi makes a great comedic character driven story. I'm reading Chapter 44, and, while the manga has added another supernatural character and Nagi (spoiler deleted), the story doesn't advance as much as I'd like.

This x 1000.

Akiba is awesome. He freakin killed me with the Beta tape at the end xD That was so brilliant, I haven't laughed like that in quite a while. It's a good thing I know about VHS vs. Beta or I would've missed that reference completely. For once I am glad I do my research.
