True, they could have used Girl Force or something like that to not get them mixed up. The context still makes it kind of clear though.

@Sombrefloe:

You are probably right. By the way, that paragraph was not written by me.
It is my translation of a paragraph from the Japanese-language Wikipedia
article about "joshiryoku" (女子力) here:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%90%E5%8A%9B

The original text of that paragraph is here:

英語では、人気ガールズロックバンドのスパイス・ガールズが提唱した
ガールパワーという言葉があるが、ガールパワーの場合は「少女同士
の結束、少女と若い女性の中の独立独歩の態度」などを表す言葉
であり、女子力とは意味が異なる。




Here is an English-language Wikipedia article giving quite a lot of background
about the phrase "Girl Power":

4/5

Not the best episode, but it's fun enough to make it somewhat usable at all.
Comic narrative with peaks very hilarious, original in its exposition.
I do not remember ever to have seen something.
Good designs, animated enough.
Now we know a little more of sensei-chan!

The second half made this the funniest episode so far. Although, my favourite parts are still the calm SoL moments like Umio and Sensei-chan's scene.
And crying Umio looks so lame that everyone stopped crying.

A lot of Sensei this episode. Everyone helping her finish her manga and, as expected, something happens to it. It was hilarious when Umio started crying over it, haha.

According to this, Sensei's girl power is -3182 if I did the math correctly, haha. Good episode overall, though.


The whole part B if the math really did correctly for me sums up to -4432 girl power of Sensei.

Edit: this is wrong cuz there are 5 combos which i forgot NOT to just add...well whatever its lower.

Must watch episode for "Sensei" fans, so many cute faces and fun scenes with her!

okanagan said:
The characteristic that "Sensei" sadly lacks is translated in the subs as
"Girl Power". In Japanese, this phrase is written as 女子力 and pronounced
as "joshiryoku". Interestingly, this is a very recent popular phrase which
only came into use in 2009, if I am understanding this Japanese-language
Wikipedia article correctly:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%90%E5%8A%9B
It can equally well be translated into English as "Women's Power". Loosely
translating the definition given in that article, "Women's Power" is a power
that women have which gives them a "shining way of life". It enlightens
their way of life, beauty and good sense. It also gives them the power to
be pampered by men. This phrase was included in some sort of dictionary of
popular language in 2009. This "power" is thought to assist women in finding
jobs and getting married. There are many books and courses on the subject.
There are simulation games where the players try to increase their "Women's
Power".

The English-language phrase "Girl Power" as popularized by the English
musical group "The Spice Girls", has a totally different meaning. In that
case, the phrase refers to solidarity among women and their achievement
of individual independence.


Great point, the expression "girl power" has a completely different meaning in English than Japanese here. A better translation might be something like "femininity level" I guess... hard to translate expression.

Episode that in the first part does not offer much space for comedy, but focuses on carrying forward the plot by focusing on the character of Sensei, so there is a construct, if we want to see it from this perspective, while in the second part the narration recovers in a big way for those who want fun. In the end, if you look closely, the two sides coexist very well because in the first phase you look at the events that happened, then you notice what happens behind the scenes; too funny the second phase of the narrative, although I am a bit sorry for the way Sensei's character is treated, what an embarrassment!

Probably the best episode so far. I freaking hated Hio-tan for ruining that last page tho.
