Uwah~~~
P-p-ponytail, maid, glasses...

...another laid back episode with a lack of Akemiya and Kiyori.

I think my heart shed a tear when that octopus was mutilated. I found Miyako really annoying this episode though, she just exuded the exact childishness that I hate. I loved the delusions though, especially how hardcore Tomoe could be.

I lol'd

Nice to see that Ayase, Yuuto is in the anime.

I'm glad that this ep was as much fun as I expected it to be ^^ Really why the hell did they bought a living octopus? XD

Btw, Noe-san's photoshopping skills aren't good lol :D

Good episode.

It's nice that they were able to make new friends. I wanted to see a little more Akemiya though...

Very very good episode! This one really made me laugh and also fan service got me excited. Found Hayasumi Noe interesting with background story of taking care of Sumika. Found it strange that Miyako likes to draw beards on pictures? O_o Why? Miyako looked bad with that lipstick. Kazama's place looked like the Alexandria's library...so many books. Kazama really got with her maid outfit, her breast standing out was kind of a appeal because of my fascination of medieval corsets. The dual explosion because of cooking, the cooking race and Sumika/Miyako imaginations of their partners were great comedies. That finger of Sumika in the mouth of Kazama was quite something. I want to ask those who know the manga if fan service like this:
will it be common or not? This also made me see Kazama into the most appeling girl in this series and too bad she likes girls.

I counter laugh with something better:Believe me I laugh twice really hard even after seeing it a second. It was because of this I saw it a second time, which I usually do not look all anime 2 times.

It's funny how much fanservice this series has and yet it does not feel gross or in the way or anything.

I mean:

+ maid costumes
+ semi-nude Kazama
+ pervy Sumi
+ fantasies

But it doesn't make me roll my eyes or facepalm. It's kind of... sweet, actually. Sumi's perved out dreams are basically anything a healthy fifteen-sixteen year old would be thinking about were they in love with someone.

And Sumi's ponytail ftw.

Exactly Siva but don't you think it was more funny than all the episode before? I hope it gets even more better. With hopefully less fanservice like tehnominator mentioned to me on my profile.

Yeah it is. And just as what she said in the post above.
But the only down side of this show are the lively color and music. I don't want to say it but it is bad, at least for my taste >_<

This episode had me laughing so hard durning the whole cooking sence. I hope they kind of get back to the whole relationship end of things next episode.

Hovever throwing one of these kinds of episodes in every once and awhile is good to. I mean in real life not every day is serious, people do just have randomly fun days of doing silly stuff or days that just turn out being silly.

What a wonderful episode! Maid outfits, slapstick humor, sly jokes and subtle fan-service... but never overdone, and nothing gets in the way of the story. This series surprises me every week.

Very funny. Only Miyako could have slaughtered that poor octopus.

This bookish girl who appears in every episode so far (this time in the bookshop) probably will be introduced soon. Another yuri to fill the ranks, i suppose.

Only good shows like Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto can make fanservice look like something totally natural and actually enjoyable to look at.

Oh yes, and Sumi-chan ponytail was definitely ftw, I dunno what Kazama's problem is, Sumi's pretty cute. ^_^

Okay, I was not expecting to laugh out loud as much as I did this episode. This anime keeps faking me out, too. At first it's all like, "T-T Sad yuri and unrequited love" and now it's all like, ":DDDDD LIVE OCTOPUSES AND SUBTLE FANSERVICE". I can't decide which side I like more!

Sumi-chan's VA is pretty amusing, too. Something about the way she sounds as freaked-out Sumi or high-pitched Sumi is interesting.

Also: "Soredemo... a~ta~shi?" I could not stop loling.

This is... The most fun I've had with an anime in a while. Thank God they threw out the drama for comedy. Was the manga this good? I don't recall it being so, but I should probably reread it.

Also, Sumi's VA has officially blown my mind. All these fantastic reactions have really made me @.@ at the fact that she was the monotone Ein last season. ^^;;

Aaa, I don't think they are quite the same, but I can see where you're coming at (the cast looks eerily similar)

Aaa, that IS impressive.

Now that I think about it, this change in the plot's focus totally caught me off guard. Still thinking about what to do

This episode was f*cking hilarious! They threw in all that fanservice & it still didn't feel cheap. It was an easy 5/5 for me. I think I lauged hardest at the fantasies.

"DARLING!"
"HONEY!"

& at the octopus slaughter. I live by the coast, "sea creatures are food, not friends."

Fun, fun FUN episode!

As funny as the manga! Altered pics, exploding food, maid costumes, mind reading and an octopus getting owned XD
Also nice to see the character development: A little bit of Kasama and Sumika's family situation and Tomoe's background.

Ushio's maid dress was so Kawaii.




She's a keeper, them red eyes from Ushio toward Sumi who wanted to go home because she ruined her picture of them two. YANDERE USHIO



Noe looking toward Ushio's apartment was hilarious lol

Eh, I found this episode charming, even though it was just going through a checklist of tropes. Plus the payoff at the end was sweet, and we did learn something new about the characters.

Oh, Ushio has the same photo of them both, as Sumika has?.. Well, she is her good friend, after all..
Eh, Miyako continues being annoying.. I don't really like her, I guess..
Well, I guess, Sumika got both good and bad memories during this cooking session..
Honestly, this episode made me a bit sad.. Because these relationships are not relatable.. I feel a bit inadequate really, looking at their relationship.. I wouldn't really be able to enjoy such company, such evening they spent together.. And it's not funny.. It's sad.. Maybe I shouldn't feel like that, maybe it's inadequate, but just saying, what I personally felt.. I'm a bit saddened that this story is getting lighter, more comedy centered, but at the same time I don't find it light.. I'd feel very empty in their place, really.. Spending supposedly good time with persons I don't like?.. How is that time can be good at all?.. It's just all very sad, really.. And in not good sense, because I'm not supposed to feel sad here.. It was comedy moments.. Oh well.. Guess, I'll have to be ready to take in next episodes meaningless for me personally relationship, maybe.. It had potential, though.. Well, maybe it won't be that bad.. Or maybe will.. Will see..

Noe's photoshopping skills are amazing. xD

The whole cooking segment was pure gold. It was so chaotic. And those fantasies were also very amusing.

The girls looked so cute in their maid costumes. :3

It's nice that Tomoe and Miyako made new friends.

I'm not certain how things explode when cooking, lol.

Sumi wants to learn how to cook now. Speaking of cooking, I made curry for the third time in my life today. I love that stuff.
