Nice first ep to be honest. I didn't feel like a recap to me. Maybe the first 5mins? Not expecting this season like the first one be anything ground shattering, but a new good solid season of Urusai goodness.
About Yuji not hearing it. I don't really mind they are young it's not like they are going to die or should I say vanish(?) anytime soon.
Someone mind posting a quick summary on season one? I am to busy to bother watching it again. :O
