| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was an okay episode. Besides some of the Sentai like gimmicks, it had a few fun moments. And I have to say, that is one wacky invention at the end there... I mean, it looks flashy and all but not something I'd like to own. |

| Nice new postbox there. Pressure points completely changing Akamatsu's voice and personality. He's becoming the new Koganen? After Ikumi inhereted the costume. And that was an... interesting machine... Still no more sign of Murakami... |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This is without a doubt the most serious and also the most absurd episode to ever come from Jinsei. There's a tale involving Ikumi's fondness for Koganen and for the sake of making things crazier by deviating itself from the usual slice of life shenanigans that have been there in the past episodes, there's the involvement of the science teacher planning to do something evil as Yuki disguises himself to defeat him with the help of Ikumi's training. Everything went well from there and when I find out that the hostage is actually the pervert from the First Newspaper Club, I was actually surprised as I thought Yuki would save some unnamed background character or something. The series is getting better but only slowly unfortunately. It isn't shocking to see Ikumi being the most developped character of the whole series as I've been liking not only her energetic personality but also her funny antics as she mess around with everyone and had a wide spectrum of her own facets. That groundwork needs to apply for the two main heroines despite showing some subtle character development and I wanna see Emi so badly. The biggest flaw concerning about Yuki is that there's nothing really outstanding about him besides talking things too fast and has the occasional habit of performing lewd things to Rino, he's simply there for the sake of it, he needs more development and not just a walking blank state despite being a common trait in an typical harem series. The pervert had a worst case scenario of the same table. To sum up everything now that the series is crossing past the halfway point, well the plot is simplistic but needed much more depth besides throwing a bunch of hardcore Japanese references no casual anime fan would understand. The good thing about the story however is that the characters actually started resolving issues besides going the mere fact of opinionated tendencies created by the female characters. There is also some fanfare and a bit of nudity to spice it up but it do not feel too spectacular. Animation was okay but feel scruffy a lot of times. TL;DR The series itself is average at best, it had some good characterization from Ikumi and some of the moments were fine, however I can't say many things that were truly great to be shown here. |

| MisaoFan said: The series is getting better ... I agree. It sure got off to a bad start. MisaoFan also said: Yūki ... has the occasional habit of performing lewd things to Rino ... Right. But it's totally not his fault! Yūki and Rino are both very introverted and socially awkward. I hope that all of this accidental intimacy can help them to get together eventually. - - - - - - - In the text crawler which appears at the bottom of the screen at 09:00/24:00, they announce that you can now buy "The Koganen song" (コガネンのうた) on iTunes here for 250 Yen. https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/koganennouta-single/id904150807 It is sung by Daisuke Namikawa (浪川大輔) who is a veteran anime voice performer and Hollywood movie dub performer. This is the full-length version which is 03:31 long. A much less expensive option is to watch this AMV version by a group called 太鼓さん次郎 ("The Taiko Drum Guy"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5q7l_dHEMA Quite often, anime series will market CDs on their official websites with lots of music such as OP, ED, insert songs and "character songs". But from looking at their official website, I don't think that Jinsei is selling CDs. Instead, each volume of the Blu-ray (or DVD) will come with a CD in the same package. Volume 1 will have a CD with the ED and the creditless OP. My assumption is that "The Koganen Song" will be included on a future CD, but that has not been announced yet. In the meantime, it looks like they are taking the route of marketing via iTunes (and related vendors). But to my knowledge, I can't think of past examples of anime series that marketed music through iTunes. |

I don't pay attention to those things as they're usually not of interest. Not that that song is of interest to me either. And yes, I had noticed that the OP and ED songs were only available as downloads. |

| Hmm, OK episode ... seems like we have an arc now with the mysterious burned question box? :O Everyone had pretty interesting takes on how to catch the criminal ... well, I mean, Ikumi turning into a dog and sniffing around LOL O_O Didn't expect Fumi to suggest a secret society, but somehow Asano thought it was that as well ... hmm :O Middle part with stalking Ikumi was interesting ... Fumi and Rino dubbing over their conversation was hilarious XD I get what she said about him being her hero ... except that denial XD The insert song was pretty good actually, definitely fits ... except those lyrics though :P It'll be interesting to see how this gets solved next episode :O |

| At 14:22/23:39, Rino said, "The box was dissolved with sodium hydroxide solution, so our culprit is likely to be someone with access to such hazardous substances." But in fact, sodium hydroxide is a consumer product that can be purchased freely. It is an industrial strength drain cleaner for severe clogs. Sodium hydroxide is also known as "lye" and ordinary people use it in many ways. Possibly Japan has some kind of restrictions. It is very dangerous. Rino was correct that sodium hydroxide can dissolve wood. When the teacher used sodium hydroxide to destroy his books, that would certainly work since sodium hydroxide also dissolves paper. It dissolves many things in fact. However, sodium hydroxide cannot dissolve plastic. Therefore, the teacher could only dispose of his DVDs by throwing them out into the tall grass. So Ikumi could find them. At 21:25/23:39, Rino said, "She didn't have to latch on to him. They're like a carbon-carbon triple bond." It is true that the triple bond that can form between two carbon atoms (C≡C) is quite strong. But there are several bonds that are stronger, such as C≡N, N≡N and especially C≡O. Since Rino seems to have some feelings of affection for Akamatsu, possibly what she had in mind is that Ikumi could certainly latch onto him with a C≡C bond, but Rino could stick to him even more tightly with her C≡O bond. |
| Doing well with the massage there until she happened to change his voice lol. |
 |
| This episode was very, very dumb but I laughed out loud more than once so I can't complain. :D |
| The massage changed his voice and his personality lol. The HHH group was revealed. |
| Really love the fantasy of Akamatsu of being massaged by Ikumi... and the Kei Grant voice is really cool sounding. It made the episode more fun. |

| So in the end the fire was created by a teacher who wanted to hide his porn but failed to do so in the end. Making the club president angry because she didn't get her scoop. Well if she wanted a scoop that badly she should have hunted it down herself. |
| Funny episode. Akamatsu has always been boring so I didn't expect him to be the center of the jokes ^^ His manly voice and don juan persona was freaking hilarious XD So smooth that even Ikumi blushed and of course made Rino jealous all the time. Also that massage innuendo XD Well if there's one positive thing about Akamatsu is he rarely shied away from tasty situations unlike most harem MCs, that much is clear from ep 4 (IIRC that was the fan service ep) |
 |
| Koganen stuff is boring. Akamatsu's voice changing was amusing, and funny. It's also a cool voice. Rino's jealousy is cute. She wants to see Ikumi's special massage assuming that its something lewd. Dat Kei Grant's voice. |
MagitoOct 4, 2014 2:27 AM
| I agree, Koganen stuff is boring. It was a nice episode overall but I think it was the worst of the series so far. |
| dat number question lol Akamatsu have switch change of Voice and Personalities lol the secret society: HHH lol i think this is the most funny episode so far. XXD |
 |
| Holy crap that Kei Grant voice was so hot XD! I actually tried pressing my nape, maybe as a woman, I'll get a Sawashiro Miyuki-like voice haha. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Personality change XD |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| Interesting episode ... poor Ikumi getting her image of Koganen ruined XD Or maybe not lol. That massage was ... uh, different? :P Changing voice and getting a lady killer personality too? Pretty hilarious XD Turns out the HHH was just a society to help people hide their porn ... treating them with chemicals?! O_O That's pretty drastic haha. Well, good thing they managed to find out what happened to their submission box. Too bad nobody believed Akamatsu in the end ... but hey, nice final pose in the sunset! :P |
| It was in okay episode. Got to see more of the pink haired girl in the opening but didn't see her at all in the actual episode, that man in the suit is actually 25 years old (and he is so pitiful for being 25 asking high school students for ice breakers just for a booty call), and a teacher goes to unnecessary links to hide his porn. The pressure points turning Mr. bland male lead into a playboy and a guy with a sick hero like voice was pretty entertaining. Makes me want to find that nonexistent pressure point too. |
 |
| So it was the science teacher all along. Great episode!!! |

I agree. They have likeable characters and some good moments here and there but overall the story and execution of this show is sub-par. |
| Mich666 said: They have likeable characters. I feel the same way. I like all of the characters. I like the character designs. The guy is ...meh... but I think it is appropriate that he is meh. It fits the story. Is anybody familiar with the light novel series? I'm not. I just wonder whether the story was better as a light novel than it is in this adaptation into an anime. |
okanagan said: Is anybody familiar with the light novel series? I'm not. I just wonder whether the story was better as a light novel than it is in this adaptation into an anime. I can't tell you since I'm not a LN reader, but anime based on light novels have source materials that tends to be a lot better than their respective adaptations and I don't think this one would be an exception. I do however remember reading comments from a few anons who read the novel on what to expect watching the show before it aired. |
| ^ I hope I will live long enough to watch the English-subbed versions of Episodes 11, 12 and 13 of this series. Episode 13 is the last one. The raws look fantastic. |
| After revealing what HHH truly was it seemed not so criminal after all, lmfao. Also that voice-changing pressure point, lol. |
| Even this episode manages to snatch more than a smile, thanks to a narrative fun and different from usual. Drawings and animations pleasant. |
 |
| Yep.. Ikumi is the best girl!! xD Lol Akamatsu & Kei Grant's voice xD Wow plot twist! But I already knew it since it's Ecchi-Echhi-Echhi xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| So the culprit is their teacher. hahaha |

| The questions at the beginning lmao xD and so it was just that scientist teacher who wanted to hide his porn collection... xD that voice changer thing was hilarious |
