THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
True Blue Traveler huh? I think I can get used to this OP song somewhat. I did spot 2 new characters though ofc.

Freaking Laura LOL. Dat tease. Why is she in a swimsuit?..
Eh, the return of this show had same feelings I guess.

I wasn't expecting a police stand off though. Basically, Laura stole the spotlight in this episode. What a boss. And kittens <3

Damn it, Ichika you lucky bastard.

I like 2nd season OP more than 1st season OP. It's interesting that the title is the same as the new OVA.

Ichika inviting everyone to the water park he's been wanting to go, and Charlotte's scary face when she accompanies Laura to shopping. While both of them got scouted for part time job, Charlotte is butler (as male) ... as always. Oh wow, sudden incident for rubbery. So many cool and cute fanservice for both of them.

Somehow Ichika's sister lookalike wants IS (which might relate to the scene before OP).

Water park fanservice and summer festival... maybe OVA contains detail of this part (and I was correct as the commercial after this announced it). lol @ everyone mad at Ichika during the meeting. /It's as expected. New character at the end.

Running ED again, sung by the main five as usual. That preview... only giggling ... by the new character?

Haven't watch this episode yet but I'm sure that with second season out IS doujin will be flooding again.

So much Laura.... And I see Laura Charloette yuri yuri LOL

It just feels great because this time I don't need to wait for the heroines to be introduced one by one. I get to see them all right from the first episode! Yay!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Laura and Charlotte all over this episode. Those kitty suites top it. The girl with the blue hair at end remind me of Sen from Ben-To. Pretty good first episode. Can't wait so see who was in those black high heels.

I might have enjoyed the show if it had been aired few years before. But since I have already watched the 1st season as well as similar anime, the episode felt stale. The ending fanservice felt like a digest PV.

It feels like they changed some voice actors, could just be me tho.

Well this episode was more of a intro episode anyways.

Looking forward to more action next week and yeti I still see Ichika is as dense as ever.

Completely forgot how dumb Ichika was.

Disappointed at the fast forward pool scenes.

Also appears the censored a little, at least on CR. Gunshot wounds got darken, may have been intentional.

And Dat Butler CharxMaid Laura was soooo friggin BA!! Esp when they used the guns.
Those 2 are totally in sync :D

As usual Ichika is dense. Reminded me of Kosaka XD

Too bad they just quickly went over the pool T_T The pv trolled us TT__TT

But well, I heard "Ichika no Ecchi" so I guess I'll let it slide for now --__--

The best possible thing in IS2, Is if Laura and Charlotte end up together and Houki and Ichika end up together. I don't care if IS2 is going to be awful if Laura, Charlotte and Houki, Ichika end up together i will praise the crap out of the show.

I wish Ichika died just like in that bit from the beginning and have the anime centered around the girls.

DENSENESS KING STRIKES AGAIN, NOT EVEN 5 MINUTES IN.
That being said, I fucking love all the girls.
OH CHARLOTTE, OH LAURA MMMM NYANNN

What the fuck was with that end though, they literally went through the whole pool and festival like it was as PV.
Ah well, boobs, but boobs can't save you forever.

Oh hell yes. IS is back! Looks like Megumi Kuribayashi sang the OP again.

Laura is just so... cute! I really love the maid/butler scene.

I didn't expect this series to be back, with more of a dark feel to it. I wonder who is that girl that looks like Ichika's sis, she is probably an experiment of sort to replicate Chifuyu.

Can't wait for more, and also the new girl.

Wasn't the best possible start in opinion. I honestly think that this episode doesn't really show what else the series is, other than Ichika, his harem, and the newly introduced LauraxCharl as canon(sort of). And, they kind of went ahead and flashed over what could have been a whole episode, but I guess its to fill in future potential plot-holes. Also, is it me or does the VAs sound different.

Right from the first episode, IS 2 has already reminded me what it felt like to watch the first season. Almost everything feels like as if its the same season, the OP and ED animations seem to be like the last season's and the beginning also had some foreshadowing just like the last season had.

The only thing that bothered me was that I think that they changed some of the voice actors but, it might just be that it's been a while since i watched the first season and I don't recognize any of the voices.

The pool/festival scene was pretty disappointing as it was rushed for no reason. It would have turned out better if they chose one scene or the other. I saw no need to choose both and make the whole part seem out of place. Besides this, it was over all, a good solid episode that helps to establish the general feel of the previous season.

That episode was perfect on so many levels.

- OP/ED
- Rin
- Maid Laura & Butler Charlotte
- Cat pajama party
- Platinum & Blonde, now with mixed berries.
- Laura being Laura


The preview for episode 2 shows why Chiwa Saito was the best pick to voice Tatenashi. That giggle. x3

Liked the OP and ED. Poor Ichika will never understand women, it seems, but that usually how harems work. Good way to start of the season imo. A fun atmosphere with the always-welcome fan service at the end. Can't wait to see what happens next week. New character is probably going to be my favorite as far as looks go.(Tatenashi Sarashiki)

Well 2nd season is here but kind of an okay start, with Ichika being clueless once again inviting everyone in the waterpark.

Charlotte and Laura are the spotlight in this episode; dressing up in maid form and servant, defeating robberies, and in cat pajamas :D.

I wonder who is the person that what the IS which has been sealed away.
