Oh wow, this Gilgamesh wannabee is tough and even makes Medaka blush with a proposal. I swear though..Medaka's bro definitely has some sort of sister complex by the design of that...room. IMOUTO.

Also, cool new ED.

Maguro takes siscon to the next level. However, you gotta admit he has some amazing stuff like taking pictures of Medaka and having them up on his screens a few seconds later.

----------------------------------------
This episode of Medaka really made my day with her brother *arranging papers to adopt as brother* and I loved her brother so much with the following,

The guy is totally a siscom! He is absolutely nuts about her in the spoiler
with all the merchandise. I even see pillows and of all things breast mouse pad? DAAAAAAAMNNNNNNN! Loads and load of obsessive things.

About thee ED, here are my points in the list of what makes the ED amazing.
  • The display of Medaka in the spoiler
    shows a rather strong darkness to be remedied better as light to her comes. This means most likely Medaka is in the dark stages of confusion and will triumph over it to come back better and stronger.

  • Very nice ass and Mogana display in the spoiler
    quite better shown than S1. Mogana seems to be getting a better spotlight this seasons.

  • Nice display of Shiranui and Zenkichi in the spoiler
    rather very peacefully shown. I assume that means Shiranui and Zenkichi will be much more at peace than last season?

  • Crazy ass depiction in the spoiler
    of Oudo. Rather scary shit the way it was shown.

  • Medaka’s brother in the spoiler
    is rather insanely dressed there.

  • Medaka’s brother wounds in the spoiler
    are rather insanely well shown as they were in this episode but fact is that it’s the ED so it will always serve as reminder more than anything. That could be annoying cause the wounds are bad ass but also GROSS!

  • Nice girl in the spoiler
    I wonder who she is really?

  • Nice group shots in the spoiler
    shows all in thee end resolves peacefully. I wonder how much of that will come out but it’s very pleasing to see this part.

  • Finally Medaka in the spoiler
    is shown rather nicely in art render.
That being said of the ED itself. I am quite happy of it and it turned out wonderful. Far better than S1 one.

So in conclusion Medaka's brother is MY BROTHER! I certainly adopt him. Might edit later.

BTW Intermissions in the spoiler
are really nice of Medaka’s brother behind and Medaka in terms of hair. It really shows nicely the similarities of their hair. While Zenkichi one shows him nicely.

Medaka's sis-con brother Maguro is over the top even by Otaku standards understandable as he is rich, although he has some intersting merchandise like those Medaka slippers with ahoge intact and moving, I loled at Medaka's super mode punch.

An'shin and Kumagawa is in the ending TOO!!


I know Kumagawa appears in the end of this Arc but he only says one sentence and that starts the minus arc.

Damn Gainax is trolling us (well it's Medaka Box, not that surprising)

Who is An'shin? A PM with spoilers and chapters of her would be much appreciated with as much info as possible. I like her appearance and charms.

So it's like Gilgamesh wanting his own Saber. Cool.

The brother was interesting with his Medaka fetish. can't say I expected that.

I'm really missing the other council members and the comedy of last season. This season has been decent so far, but I still prefer more of the others, and less of overpowered Medaka who doesn't look so overpowered all of a sudden.

    I still don't get how they'll bring Kumagawa and Ajimu into this. Because from what I'm seeing they're not going at a fast pace at all...on the contrary the pace they're going at is perfect, not rushed not slow.
    As for the episode I really loved it...The anime makes Medaka look way cuter than the manga...also lol at Maguro's room, that was really something else XD

    Even worse than Akane in Yuru Yuri hahaha

    People who keep wondering about Kumagawa and Ajimu constantly, could you please stop. These are obviously just teasers and since you guys are soooo knowledgeable of the manga then you should know that the anime has been following the manga faithfully to a tee.

    It just goes to show that Gainax can't wait to animate these guys and decide to just slip them in the OP and ED because that's the only place they can put them without changing the story.

    Really good episode. That was the first time actually that I felt the same feeling from the manga.

    Maguro's introduction was really well done and I love how his dolls ahoge moves. The ED is awesome too, more Kumagawa and Ajimu!

    Best episode from the two seasons.

    The flask planners are intense all those wounds Medaka's brother received just for leaving :( . Decent episode, I was just glad for lots of Zenkichi and I had almost thought he'd stay weak in the series but fortunately that may not be the case? I liked when he was all blushing and overcome with emotions that he had to turn away almost. Anyway hope he gets to a high level and exceeds being stuck as a "normal"?.

    Zenkichi is currently "normal" and won't ever be a "special".

    Well, the categories?

    Normal - Well, yeah. Normal. Won't achieve anything if one doesn't exert effort. A normal human. But well, there is the argument in Medaka Box that with great effort, a normal can do whatever a special can do.

    Special - The gifted ones. This is something decided in birth. Can achieve things with ease without exerting effort. They are really good in their specialty, although Akune is multi-talented. Well, there are geniuses even in real life so I guess I don't need to explain this.

    Abnormal - Humans exceeding the boundaries of human capabilities, thus making things unexplainable by man happen. i don't think this exists in real life, unless you want to compare mythical people who could do miracles like moving mountains, etc. Abnormalities, unlike specialties, are not decided in birth but they can be existent from birth.

    Good episode, and was needed after that annoying Medaka Box chapter. Noob wannabe Gilgamesh aside this was actually a enjoyable arc, obviously not on par with the Minus arc by any means but way better than season 1, the pacing seems to be going well also, i just hope the OP indicates that they will indeed show Kumagawa at the end of the series and announce the Minus arc at the same time.

    Or am I going to have to rage while knowing that a 3+ year Nisio Isin series got trashed like this while Sengoku Collection automatically got 26 episodes for one season?

    I like how the second season emphasizes the shortcomings of Medaka right out of the box...but on the other hand, I'm getting used to Toyosaki Aki's voice for Medaka. *shudders*

    I'm just assuming that this is a new method to prevent fillers. A new 12-Episode series after skipping one season.

    24 episodes a year. ~50 chapters a year.

    If its goes at 2 chapters per episode it would never catch up to the manga.

    If they are currently going at 3 or 4, its probably just to decrease the gap between the anime and manga by a significant amount.

    Kumagawa appears at the end of this arc, so it may be a hint towards the third season, but most importantly he is the (undeserving) most popular character, so yeah.
    And Anshin'in? Let me put it that way - this anime revolves around The Flask Plan. If you read the manga, you should think it's pretty logical for her to be shown.

    Anyway - yay, we get Maguro at last! He's one of the very few M&A perverts I just can't help loving. Mostly because of his Magician side though.
