THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

I liked the haunting house part! LOL it reminded good comedy that used similar gags like that such as Green Green and Tonagura! Too bad Tsukasa did get her pictures.

WE FINALLY MEET Shiraishi Nagomi! The hidden girl so to speak. She seems to be monitoring Jun-ichi and Katagiri.

LOL at the teacher for falling for the trap!

The mom and dad are at a mission as usual.

LOL at Jun-ichi when he was helping Katagiri get up to see if she can the trap door. Turns out they both fall.

The split personality was back but Katagiri beating him up literally canceled it!

I liked this episode ♥ Jun and Yuuhi were nice couple as usual and Minato was lovely. Also the new girl was interesting and haunted house was interesting object too.

This episode really confirmed my dislike of Yuuhi. I usually like the tsundere in these shows, but she is not likable to me at all. I'm getting really sick of her hitting this poor guy all the time.

zzzZZZzzzZZZzz...humpf..huh? Whoa, this was a fantastic episode! Too bad I fell asleep after 10 seconds.

What have we here? The heroine is still tsundere, and the plot takes place in a scary abandoned school building. I think I saw something similar to this once, but can't remember where. Now,where was it, where was it?

Well at least the girls still get their hair down by the same blind hairstylist who's extremely high on crack. And there's some real chemistry starting between Junichi and Yuuhi, another 8 eps or so and we might see another kiss!

In the meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Minato to say those 4 little words: not-related-by-blood! OK, that was creepy.

The parents are like part of an Excel Saga joke, and that is not a compliment. The randomness of their appearance and seeming disconnect from the rest of the show makes me lol.

See, who else is bothered that the main female focus of his "harem" in the OP are his "sister" and Katagiri? :x

About the lols though, the funniest parts were the cutting away from the haunted-school-pair-them-up mission ("Shiraishi Nagami reporting, I was successful in getting them to shout at each other, sir") to the two parents stuck in a hole in GOD KNOWS WHAT OTHER ANIME WORLD. LOL@juxtaposition

Really now, this is getting weird. The arguing is certainly getting annoying. This episode just seemed like filler, something very unneeded in a 12 episode anime. Also what's with the awful dragonforce-esque ending theme? Eh whatever. Hopefully it gets better. I wouldn't be watching this if it wasn't airing.

I'm surprised this series is getting a high rating compared to the fact that everyone hates it O_o

I don't hate it, and I think this episode was alright. Although Yuuhi was as annoyingly agressive as Taiga (from Toradora mainly in episodes 1 and 3 so far). I hope she calms down.
MOAR Minato pls <3
This series still has potential. It can still get better^^

See, I actually enjoy/am alright with Taiga's aggressiveness, probably because that's the way she was always portrayed, "The Palmtop Tiger". Yuuhi on the other hand is getting rather bothersome with her random assaults upon Jun, after initially being an extremely civil and level-headed character(Read: Not a Tsundere). Of course he kind of brings some of this on himself by being a little bitch and not just explaining why he did what he did. Which only further causes more misunderstandings between the two, and in turn equates into more beatings.

The whole mother/father thing this episode was just putting them into a similar situation, albeit more drastic and displaying how they escaped. If you didn't enjoy it and are lucky, maybe they won't continue the trend.

Oh well, I'll keep watching, it is only 12 episodes anyway, and it's not THAT bad enough to drop. Though, the whole talking to the painting thing seemed really out of place.

Seems like a lot of people are getting tired of Yuuhi really early on.

And that's totally to be expected. I think the tsundere personality has really been used way too much. I mean, c'mon, in every single anime that stars a tsundere female as the main role, we see the same exact type of interactions between the female and her male counterpart. This episode proves that. Sure, the scenario is slightly different with the haunted mansion, but the reactions of Yuuhi to every single thing Juni'ichi did was so obviously apparent. Too predictable.

I agree that using a formula that has worked in the past is not a wrong way of thinking. I mean, why fix it when its not broken, right? They just aren't introducing enough variation into these kinds of shows.

I think the character designs and my liking for the male protagonist along with the supporting cast is what is keeping me on this show.

Jun became another whipped anime male in this episode. He barely fought Yuuhi when she made him be her "horse". I was hoping for more from him. Oh well, at least the girls are pretty.

On a related note, we get to see the hot little sister in a very revealing dress in the next episode so that's something to look forward to. High pitched Aya ftw?

The ED sounded similar to Hyouka's ED from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki and as expected it's the same VA. The ED's beginning also sounded a lot like the "Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames" beginning.

ok episode
the story about the cursed campus seemed a little interesting.
Shiraishi Nagomi was rather interesting, and somewhy (minorin :P) cute
lol @ ayanokouji being the usual scared girl.
yuuhi was cute this episode, when she was not being so tsuntsun

the school president looks rather pushy. i see why the geno killer is one of the people who don't really like her, just like he said in the first episode... though, she is somehow cute.
yuuhi was a little too tsuntsun this episode. when she was first introduced, i thought she was not going to be too tsuntsun, but i guess they HAD to make her tsuntsun since they already had kugie voicing her...
lol @ junichi being inside katagiri's skirt, and breathing heavily xD
i am still wondering what is going on inside junichi's head.... training? wtf?
Minato was too cute this episode. i think i may be actually rooting for her ending. the ending with her crying and jun patting her head was cute.
it was also interesting seeing the teacher tuning a bike inside an apartment, and sleeping in an old school campus...

anyways, next episode should be really good. we may see some brother-sister love... and i am still hoping for that line of " we are not really brothers" that will trigger the flag!
besides, minato will be in a really good outfit next epi. looking forward to that.
Nagomi seemed interesting tracking the activities between yuuhi and jun...

Episode was ok, series overall so far though has looked like a cookie-cutter harem/romance though, so hopefully they will branch off some stuff with the genokiller shit or something like that to thicken the plot.

It was a pretty interesting episode. I got a little bit of laughter out of it. Although Yuuhi and Jun fighting all the time is getting on my nerves a bit as well. I mean, its kind of understandable. It's because Yuuhi still likes him even though she doesn't want to so se's frustrated by it. My friends do that crap all the time. But if I don't like it in real life, I certainly don't like it in my anime.

Yuuhi really pisses me off. I thought she seemed like a decent character in the first episode, but she's been completely unreasonable about that whole kiss thing. It was just a kiss, sheesh. And on top of that, Jun-ichi has been doing nothing but try to apologize and make up for it, and he gets hit. I mean really, would it be so hard to cast Rie in a non-stereotypical-tsundere role?

wtf happened at the beginning? Jun-ichi and Yuuhi where acting like friends and actually not fighting?! The first half of the show felt like I had skipped 3 episodes or something. I literally checked the ep number to see if I had skipped something.

The pitfall part also had some weird out of place parts. They randomly reverted back to square one, fighting and bitching at each other over stupid things then a few mins later they started dropping extremely obvious hints about their feelings for one another. THEN to top it off Jun-Ichi's sister drops an even more obvious feeling bomb :S. This episode jumped around way to much!

I have a feeling this will end with a harem (ie. Jun-ichi, his sister, and Yuuhi stay living together). At some point we know Jun's gonna find out about the possibility that him and his sister are not related and that she has feelings for him. By this point in time Yuuhi would have probably already noticed her feelings for Jun thus she will get jealous about the two X\siblings possibly hooking up. There will probably be a minor conflict and somehow it will be solved. Everyone will continue to live under one roof and of course revert back to acting like they did in episode one with no changes at all.
Then comes the second season lol.....

It seems that this series will have a pattern of Junichi & Yuuhi almost make up, then Junichi/Yuuhi does something stupid and ruins it until next ep. >.< I was expecting better, but it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of this show.

Looks to be a VERY interesting episode next week. O.o I also dread those four words...

I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't bother to look up the VA. I think I like Hyouka's theme better, though.

Anyone else notice how Yuuhi's hair keeps changing from just hanging to her shoulders to similar to the pres's and back? Most annoying thing ever, IMAO.

He was trying to remain calm in the situation. However, his meditation was a bit too slow to save him.

Seems the teacher has gone from gay to awesome in three episodes. WTH but whatever... awesome characters never hurt.

and as you guys said before, feels like a filler ep.

ZnT anyone? D:

This episode was alright, though I have to agree with what most of the other people who posted said about getting tired about the stereotypical tsundere. Though 3 seasons of ZnT is probably the reason I'm tired of that.

Next episode seems decently amusing. :3
