DOES she have a proper name? Or is she just a maiden?

I'm fine with just calling her the girl who's reading out fairytale stories to Akira Ishida.

[Sinestra]

Damn you guys are cruel lol

I can't find a normal name for her. "Sakana-chan" is just what Head calls her. She is called 気多の巫女 -- Kita no Miko -- the Kita Priestess. Kita, with a different kanji, means "north," so I think she is the one of the four priestesses associated with the north. There is also a major shrine at a place called Keta 気多 in northern Japan. Info from the official site and ja.Wikipedia.

Ep5:

What a way to lose, oh well, she lost the battle but she won the war so it a happy end for her.

And it's kinda funny that they pretty much got that kiraboshi thing to muscle memory level.

Fish girl looks like she's enjoying her time in that cage...

[Grim_Reaper]

A funny episode indeed.
And they reused animation from previous episodes Many animation.
That's the price for awesome graphics I guess.

[faythz]

is this action anime or comedy anime??
anyways look like next episode will be good
King's pillar?? hmm Sugata king??
finally story about sugata

[HandofFate]

lol, kind of a silly 5th episode..

Spoiler for boy hungry nurse:

The green-haired girl calling the girl a slut for kissing through the glass.

Hina going and coming with the earthquakes kind of cool. The nurse that likes teenage boys was funny.
woo @ the kept in commerical for Sengoku Basara gg kept in -_-

I like that each Cybody is starting to each end up having some kind of special ability. Thought its such niche abilities.

First female driver finally shows up. Of course she has to sound like she's having an orgasm when the unit shocks her when she's syncing with the Cybody.

it was silly that she lost because she got too memezerized by Takuto's chest and penis

[FlareKnight]

Spoiler for Ep5:

Lol what a way to lose . Of course it was pretty tough for Takuto to win otherwise. An ability that can see into the future is tough to deal with. I can't believe that she put a fanservice mode into it . That woman really can't help herself when it comes to young guys.

Is funny how they've gotten the kiraboshi thing ingrained so deeply. If the main cast knew this they'd just have to do that and it'd be a quick thing to figure out who is part of that group.

Another energetic storytelling session from Fish Girl. She's really getting into the story more. Though I suppose it's getting more exciting leading up to the squid emperor battle so that's something.

Looks like we'll get a good episode next week. Finally Sugata will step forward.

[Jarmel]

This episode was hilarious.

Takuto's reaction after he won was just classic.

Spoiler for Ep.6 preview:

So Sugata is finally going to do something?

[Key Board]

I think the best part of this show is its villains

we have quite a quirky lovable cast

I hope we don't have too many of them, though.
I don't want them to spread the screen time too thin.

lol, You and your comments... ye, orgasm or not, that was a nice touch nonetheless.

Spoiler for Wako's fantasy always delivers:

http://sadpanda.us/images/264104-R6QYSFQ.gif

ROFL... what a lame way to lose... at least she gave Takuto some hard time, before... um... getting owned?

at the very least, she enjoyed her time thoroughly =>

and this =>

Spoiler for translation please:

yeah, a very hilarious episode indeed.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep5:

Very, very hilarious episode.
I had the slight feeling that the plot isn't really moving and all as always, but to be honest, if it is this entertaining, it doesn't really matter.

The perverted doctor was very funny for most of the episode, but the part where she just loses because she got distracted was more of a "Eh~~... (-_-)" than funny, but everything was redeemed at the very end.
Lose the fight, but won the war. Lock the door and prepare to eat the delicious boy... Buwahahaha.


Sakana-chan... Really energetic these days.


Next time is finally pure seriousness?!

[Bombo]

Spoiler for 5:

The preverted doctor is tge best in this episode...The way to lose very hilarious XD

[ars89]

Spoiler for my take on ep 5:

Another very funny ep, Wako's fantasies are the best, first female driver, but she lost in a stupid way, i think Takuto got lucky she was in her fan service mode because he had a tough time when she wasn't, Sakana is great as always, I didn't know that Kiraboshi members didn't know who each other was, that was kinda interesting, next ep we finally get to see Sugata do something,

[Kanon]

Spoiler for Episode 5:

Funniest episode so far indeed, but also the best in my opinion. I enjoyed it so much.

I've always loved series with colorful and likeable villains, and oh boy does this show deliver! I don't know if it's just me, but I'm totally rooting for them right now. The nurse was quite simply amazing, so perverted and funny. Kanako's reaction when she saw her kiss a boy through the glass made me laugh so hard

Seeing Midori unconsciously react to the "KIRA BOSHI!" was also pretty funny. I thought they were aware of each other's identities though, since the masks are hardly what I would call a good disguise. That's when suspension of disbelief comes in handy, I suppose.

I loved the way Midori lost the battle. Too much fanservice can be bad for you... thankfully, everything ended well for her , as she's found her soulmate (a boy who likes older women). Hmm, her mask didn't break either, I wonder if it implies she's also at the third phase.

That girl is the happiest prisoner I've ever seen. Head seems to be getting bored despite her attempts to enliven the storytelling, he could at least look at her, geez... the poor girl is trying so hard.

[wandering-dreamer]

Spoiler for episode 5:

I'm still laughing at the fact that the rest of the Crux doesn't know who everyone is yet the drama club seems to have figured it out (although I'm wondering if the cycling club boy is a member of the brigade because of his screentime and for being able to resist the potion). I guess that's suspension of disbelief for you.../

An all serious Star Driver episode?!? Yeeeaaahhhh, somehow I don't see that happening any time soon.

Spoiler for Ep 5:

I usually read too much into things , but my impression, after the end, was that the cycling club boy was already in love with the nurse. Typically, in fiction, love potions don't work as easily on people who are genuinely in love. And it seems like great irony to me that the nurse couldn't get a boy to fall in lust with her as her younger self because he was already in love with her older self.
