The OP was good with many cameos but what I liked was the ED, it was very nice. The episode was very interesting. I wonder how the girls will react when they will found out that Kurano is not who she seems to be.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure how to even describe it. Feels strange and completely normal at the same time. Should be a good comedy anime, at any rate.

Nope, never heard of her. Can't find any good roles on her page, either.

Not a bad episode. I'm interested to see how this plays out. I can't understand wanting to keep a jellyfish as a pet though. And even with a sign, a jellyfish in a bathtub is just asking for trouble.

That was my thought, too -- "something is wrong with these subs". I mean, they translated fujoshi literally ("rotten girl" instead of female otaku) and they called people "hipsters", so I wouldn't put it past them to translate that incorrectly, either.

Although I must say his reaction of "No, I'm normal" (if that was translated correctly) pissed me off.

alright first episode, it looks like Mayaya is going to be quite an annoying character in the series, at least for me.


Thank god I'm not the only one. But other than that, this looks like it could be pretty good. I'm praying for minimal Mayaya, though.

Wow. This was just wonderful!! I can't find anything that I didn't like! Sambomaster's ED is really nice! The chibi jellyfish is terribly cute and the characters are quite ... peculiar so far.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode! :D

I think she called him "okama" which means sth like effeminate gay/+transsexual and his reply was meant to mean he was straight, not gay.

lol, I've already watched this episode 3 times and laughed out loud every time.

Yes, exactly. Haruhi Fujioka's father was an 'okama': dressed like a woman, yet straight.

Here is some translation stuff:

Tsukimi: オカマの人ですか? (Are you an 'okama'?)

"Okama" can mean a cross-dresser but also a gay person. The implication is that she is asking him whether he is gay. To which he responds:

Kuranosuke: え?違うよ。女装は趣味でやってるだけ。俺、ノーマルだもん。(No, I just cross-dress [wear women's clothing] as a hobby. I'm normal.)

Now, "normal" can mean normal just as it does in English, but it can also be used to mean "straight sexual orientation," and it seems to me that in this case, it does mean straight.

Furthermore, later on he says:

Kuranosuke: 大丈夫、襲ったりしないから。(Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. [Literally: I won't attack you.] [Has a sexual implication])

It gives context to this statement if we assume earlier on he has asserted he is straight.

That isn't my translation by the way, I found it here: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=93774&page=5

Hopefully that clears some stuff up.

This series kinda came out oof nowhere for me. Or, I had previously read a little about this but it just didn't sound appealing.

Boy was I wrong; Tsukimi's an adorable main and the rest of the fujoshis are really quirky but have an awesome chemistry. I will deffinitely follow this and see were it heads.

Excellent first episode! I am really looking forward to the rest of this series. VERY refreshing characters and I love the twist, haha!! It's so quirky and the details are really nice. I paused to look at little things like her drawings, etc.

Like another person said, I had a smile the whole time I was watching this ep. :)

I also thought that Mayaya was a guy at first too but until she in the house with the other girls i realise that she was actually a girl and a weird one at that.

I read people's comments about this and decided to watch it without knowing anything about it, and I am really glad I did. It is very refreshing, and looks to be only better as we get new episodes. And how can we resist that cute jellyfish?

Well, this got my interest at first because things from Japan that have jellyfish in them in my experience are awesome (Bright Future). But, very quirky. Adorkable main (though Kozue's :3-ey voice is still recently imprinted upon me). The Heidi reference sealed it. YOU'RE WALKING, YOU'RE WALKING.
