Good episode, though I didn't laugh as much during the second half but it was still well done. Rec's date plan was a bit out there though not surprising and Nino was to cute in that dress, really looking forward to the next episode.

Really can't decide whether to drop this. About the only laugh it got out of me was when Nino was stopped in the midst of suggesting Venus for the date.
That was the only joke in this episode that was similar to a normal silly comedy. I suggest you drop this and go watch some ecchi comedy.

Really, an insult to my tastes simply because I didn't enjoy it? So I suppose that whole scene in the confessional where the main was being questioned about whether he'd done it with Nino and got called gay at the end was just such a higher level of humor. Cause, you know, stopping someone from saying something absurd is just so much more a quality of ecchi comedy than sexual misunderstandings. Of course, I see now.

I'll admit comedic animes generally aren't my thing. Tend to focus more on psychological or action series. Still, I've frequently enjoyed what Shaft puts out, and like I said, there is a somewhat charming oddity to it. Just hasn't exactly entertained me yet.

And yeah, I know, this response is way too late for anyone to care. Still felt like making it.

Mmm.. I think Nino looks wonderful in her uniform, but she looks absolutely beautiful in that dress. :)

Nino looks silly in that dress. She's much cuter in her usual attire.


I thought she looked lovely. I assumed the same thing Rec did, that she'd put it on all hilarious. When she showed up like that she took mine (and probably Rec's) breath away. Pink does look good on blonds.
I like the little specials after the credits. And was that a real Koi the IRL Kappa guy was holding?

I'm not sure why but it felt like the episode went by really fast.

This episode just sealed the deal of me watching this to the end.

Nino is such an endearing character and I can see her being the person to give what Ko needs. =)

And just wanted to add that I love Hoshi, even though he got whooped. xD

Good episode, I don't see what's so hard to understand about this series. It's pretty much about a bunch of homeless people acting like something they aren't to run away from their problems...which is something I thought the episode hit on nicely to an extent. I can't imagine the theme to be deeply explored or anything but..it was an enjoyable episode none the less.

I loved the whole confession, Star is my fav so far though I don't mind Kou too :) I neraly broke down when I realized he actually RETURNED all those chocolates, it's way too obsessive yet too funny to ignore XD
God -oops, Sister XD- I love Kou's way of thinking, he's so strange yet normal at the same time :)

Starhead and Sister are hilarious and Nino has a strange appeal that trascends words.

Definitely watching more of this.

Hoshi seems less annoying in the anime than the manga. I felt like this episode needed more of Kappa though.

I love the genuine romantic moments between Nino and Rec.
I know I'll be disappointed with this anime if I watch it just to see those moments.
So, I'll need to try to enjoy the rest of the silly comedy acts.

poor Star-kun XD

getting the wrong idea about Nino and Recruit!

im glad Nino doesn't really care about this rich stuff, she just wants to spend time under the bridge, and there's nothing wrong with that :P

she looks stunningly beautiful in a dress!!



sister's jokes are soo funny(i thought he was referring to MGS XD)



more character artist sketch!!



love this show!
