Quality episode. I love how they fit so many different things into a single episode without everything feeling rushed. The scene with Nishimoto's hentai collection was comic genius when Hanai got involved :)

A high-school nun that hears confession? I suppose you can say that this anime has it all, whether it exists or not. :')

Haha, Nishimoto is one lucky guy XD
Nice funny perverted episode.

Also, was I the only one who noticed the song Best Friend from the first season during the fireworks towards the ending of this episode? One of my favorites from School Rumble and was disappointed that it only played once, but I was proven wrong, an excerpt of the song was in this episode! Yay! 5/5

Hamburger hot pot... XD And Tenma and Lala are more alike than one would initially think...

Poor Napolean, ahaha. :'D

You'd think it'd be so awkward to be a nun that listens to confessions in a church bear your own school... If there are devout Christians that go to your school, you're going to get some of your classmates coming in and confessing, I suppose. o_O (And I'm guessing we're supposed to ignore the fact that there aren't many Christian Japanese... I think? I mean-- I think they're mostly Shintoist-Buddhists, aren't they...? That's what my good Japanese friend told me...)

Another example of how anime/manga doesn't get Catholicism. Usually it's brought in to add a touch of the exotic to one or more of the characters, but they never get it right, and thus we end up with high school nuns who hear confessions and are interested in boys.
Please don't feed the trolls!

It's not that it doesn't get it, it's just that anime doesn't take religion seriously. Catholicism or any other one.

Exactly this. There is a lot of "priests" from different religions that do crazy stuff in anime.

Can't believe he gave away most of his porn. When Hanai was carry all that porn I expected something horribel to happen to him like being caught. He was sort of by Yakumo.

That last third of the episode about Sara was nice. So that's what she does.

not the best for sure ;/
I guess the supporting characters are not so funny or romantic

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Another garbage episode.

Its like since episode 7, the anime is now just focusing on comedy for the sake of getting a laugh, meaning, the anime has lost its way. I wanted to see more romantic progress with comedy involved and some drama, and not just silly nothingness. 

It feels like we have regressed on the romance department to them just acting stupid around their crush and just being funny for the sake of getting a laugh. 

Not gonna lie, I was very suspect with season 2 being 26 episodes, after season 1 was 28 episodes (if we count also the two OVA's after season 1). 

Season 2 should have been maxed 13 episodes and focus only on the romance with comedy sprinkled on it. 

Oh well, 15 episodes to go for season 2. Maybe they will bring back its romance aspect late in this season.

Oh man, I haven't laughed in a while, and Hanai blowing Yakumo's hot pot for her and force-feeding her was funny!
Sara in that Chinese outfit is so hot! I want to screw her. I don't care if she puts her whole hand in my ramen bowl. I would still eat it!

that lunch was doomed to begin with.

Nishimoto and the usual pervert customers had made me laugh once again, and plus, it has at the beginning a always welcome scene with my crush Mai adorable as always. Well, didn't remember Hanai's involvement even if at that point meeting by accident both Yakumo and Mikoto was obvious.

Recalled Sarah working at a church but not also that the previous subplot entered into her job directly. Too bad that the worst sport was also involved. "i don't know the rules" good for you, darling.

Anyway, Sarah is always amazing, even back then in the late 2000's during my worst years of "i'm an atheist so i'm better than anyone else" i wasn't offended by seeing her tied with christianity (even if the previous posts about the weird portrayal of it are right), she's just all around pretty, likable and cool.

Like Scribbly said I love how they're able to fit in so many things in just one episode and it never feels rushed or underdeveloped, everything's given just the right amount of time to be funny, heartwarming and so many other types of feelings, this show has such good writing and never overstays plot lines and scenes, everything's so perfect. If it wasn't for FLCL this would be my favorite piece of media ever.
Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion...
