Fuck Durarara, this is the best that I've seen in a long time.


Dude, you haven't even watched Durarara. All the attention it's getting is very much well deserved (IMO), so don't automatically dislike something just because it's popular.

Anyways, great episode. C: Loved the part when Ric was carrying Nino, and that scene where he sent the leaf boat towards the ocean was so sweet.~~ <3

Y'know, I don't often do this so early on, but I think i'm gonna add Nino to my fav characters list. She's just so... hypnotic.

But it meant kicking off So Zetta Sho!

...What the hell, he's more of a vidyagame character anyway.

BOT: Stella annoys me. She's like the prerequisite bitchy character, even if she is done non-traditionally. I'm sure she'll be liveable, though... I think.

I'm still grinning after watching that episode. So funny in a wicked sort of way. Hope this keeps up.

Can't say I'm a Stella fan, but the combo-hits and Ric's assorted reactions (especially in the beginning when he was slow to catch on) were hilarious. Yes, she's scary. Damn scary.

Maria's introduction made it for me. That poisoned tongue of her's left me coughing and in tears from laughing so hard - especially when she finally finally got to Sister. Hahaha. More Maria please!

Poor Recruit. Everyone he meets seems to either hate him or/and likes to bully him. Everyone except Nino. Awkward date (very awkward), but successful date. He really did a thoughtful thing there and it moved her. Hopefully, some of that mystery that she's wrapped around herself will begin to unravel soon.

Such a nice episode C:. I really like the relationship growing between Recruit and Nino. I hope it will become something more romantic over the story. Anyway, here are some random thoughts on the episode.
-Nino blushing was very cute ^^~! I am also interested in learning her past. It definitely feels as she shares a connection to recruit in their previous lifestyles.
-Not a fan much of Stella. I felt bad for Ric and shared his reactions after what happened. That cant be possible, right xD
-Maria was great! Looking forward to seeing more of her.

Dates seem pretty exhausting.

Yeah, a one-on-one fight, awesome way to play, especially for a little girl.
Sister raised her well. xD

And Maria's got an awesome attitude.

Episode 1...okay
2...better
3...was really good
4...

Okay come on episode 4 was a failure. Only the beginning with Nino and what's his face was a very sweet moment and I loved it. Then everything went downhill. How many animes...even live action shows and movies...introduce a little kid and make them dangerous and threatening? It was very very very cliche. I could tell it was going to happen right when she lept into Sister's arms. Lack of creativity

what happened to the dress? wasn't she supposed to wear it on the date?

I wonder if Ric owes her his life again? since she stopped him from being dragged under again when he went after her boat.

loved Maria "Sister, stop casting a shadow, the sun has better things to do than keep you warm" XD

I think the show is progressing nicely. I have now idea how you could like the first three episodes and dislike the fourth. The first date part of episode 4 was just a continuation from the third episode. The introduction of the deadly loli Stella was hilarious in my opinnion. I was really happy that she turned out to be supper violent, because if she would have been moe I probably would have puked. I laughed so hard when Rec got knocked the fuck out by a little girl. I think my favorite part of this episode was when Stella told Rec that he was now her little bitch. ROFL!!! Of course the ending was also very funny. I couldn't help but think, Rec has got himself into a really fucked up little world. I'm enjoying this series more than Bakemonogatari. It's much funnier, plus it seems to have learned that the two main characters should be what the series is based on, instead of wondering of with a ton of side stories.

I laughed at the 'distance makes the heart grow fonder' implementing. Ric showed that he can be just as weird as the rest of the bunch. Princess's carrying was hilarious too.
The fact that we got a blush was awesome. Or emotion in the first place. It was really fulfilling too.
Stella and Maria were funny but they couldn't top the date section for me.
Awesome episode.

Episode was fantastic with Stella being not only evil with a hidden agenda=>
but also incredibly commando at her age with the beat up of Rec=>

Not only that, episode impressed with the use of shadows.....especially this part=>

Maria is so brutal yet looks like a nice girl that insults. Can't wait to meet this girl though=>
Also nice art here=>
...love more now the studio since its mega failure with Dance in the Vampire Bund. Overall busy with life so no time for GIFs too much but since episode 2.....sister, Star male was the best, Stella and Maria are all good characters that joined up in this series while Nino maintains incredible potential each episode.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

also, fantastic episode. stella is adorable... and maria seems very interesting. the date was amazing and the whole episode was spot-on in terms of humor and cuteness.
i think this is definitely in the running for the best anime of the season;
