the opening is called Nirvana by MUCC and like someone mentioned several posts before, the ending varies in each episode:

"Rakuen no Photograph" (Photograph of Paradise) by Yuuichi Nakamura (Soushi) was the ending of episode 2
Ending 3: "Kimi wa" (You Are) by Rina Hidaka (Ririchiyo)
Ending 4: "Taiyō to Tsuki" (The Sun and the Moon) by Yoshimasa Hosoya & Yoko Hikasa (Nobara and Rensho)
Ending 5: "one way" by Takuya Eguchi & Mamoru Miyano ( Zange Natsume and Banri Watanuki)
Ending 6: "sweets parade" by Kana Hanazawa (Karuta)
Ending 7: "SM Hantei Forum" (SM Judgement Forum) by Tomokazu Sugita (Kagerou)

Thats the appeal of Soushi, he isn't like all the other squeaky clean elegant type butlers, he's different.
But I can understand his attitude isn't going to be liked by everyone altho wanting to make him into another generic butler would be boring.

Do we really need to see Sebastian again in another anime(even if he's cool), as teh saying goes, "variety is the spice of life" and god knows anime needs a good injection of it.

Still liking it all myself, nice feeling to it all around.

The floating paper dude is abit of a hoot

Alright, alright, color me charmed. I'm going to look forward to this show every week. That ED was hilarious. Stupid sexy Soushi. They did a great job making Ririchiyo legitimately gorgeous in her oni-form. The clumsy floating towel is growing on me. He radiates grade-A bro vibes.

I'm unclear regarding Karuta and the girl in the maid outfit's roles in the house. I had kind of taken Karuta to be one of the SS, but is she actually a resident, like Ririchiyo?
*I know, he's not a towel.

From the way she dresses, I thought Karuta was one of the Secret Service as well. But now I'm not so sure.

Karuta is also a SS member. I'll reserve any further information for future episodes.

Ririchiyo is a nice character, but the main character dynamic in this show between her and Soushi leaves a lot to be desired. Yeah they been joking around him throughout episodes 1 and 2 as being practically her dog, and that was established in episode 1 fairly well. So far though the show seems to be hitting you over the head with a sledgehammer about this nonstop to the point it not only nauseates Ririchiyo, but also the audience.

Certainly this should not be the extent of their relationship, not exactly something I expect the show to centralize itself on... But so far they are not giving much confidence that their relationship will bear any real fruit for the audience.

So far, this anime has been alright, but definitely am hoping it does more than this.

He's only shown hints of it within the first two episodes, but just like the Cocker Spaniel, Soushi is a lot more shrewd than he appears. His loyalty to Ririchiyo is genuine, but you may have noticed that more often than not, she is the one who ends up doing exactly what he wants. Also, despite everything, he's still the first person to see her for who she is, regardless of her family background.

Their relationship is going to develop more next episode (I found the chapter it's based on to be very sweet and heartwarming when I read it) and don't forget, they still haven't revealed the past connection he had to her.

Oh, and don't worry, the cast is going to be expanding quite a bit. Very excited for that, in fact.

(this was all vague enough to not count as spoilers, right?)

Actually, that would be Renshou.

Which is why I largely prefer Riri's interactions with our local lazy paper-guy. They actually have a somewhat interesting dynamic to their interaction, and since he sees past and ignores her snide remarks, are actually capable of holding a conversation of some depth.

With Soushi though, there is no variation to his actions or what we can expect of him as of yet. Irregardless of what Riri says or does, his responses boil down to the same thing over and over again - him wailing about his life being complete at her side, inability to be separated from her even for a second, and how she shouldn't mind him, because he is here for her sake.

While that was amusing in the first episode as it helped to establish the dynamic between their characters, I wasn't expecting that to be the extent of their dynamic either. Can it change with time ? Possibly (probably?), but for now Soushi is like a broken record, stuck on a track that doesn't contribute anything to anything.

Unfortunately he is also glued to Riri, which means his screentime is probably going to remain high. That being the case, I seriously hope the point where he gets an actual personality arrives sooner rather than later, because his monotone, exaggerated rehashing of essentially the same lines is already getting old.

I am glad I am not the only one who sees it that way. I have been told the anime will improve in this aspect soon, so I will wait and see.

I agree with you. Right now, Riri's interaction with Renshou is probably the more enjoyable to watch compared to Soushi. I'm sure Soushi will develop sooner than later but hopefully that sooner will be next episode.

But despite outer appearances, both Renshou and Soushi are quite comparable in acuteness. Renshou is quite a sharp piece of paper (bad pun, I know ). And Soushi's reaction to that burglar earlier strongly hints of a very dangerous fox underneath; besides, aren't foxes known to be cunning?

Well, just watched ep 2 and all I gotta say is "d'awwwwww".

I enjoyed it - and the main story theme seems to center around an emotionally damaged and ... hmm ... malformed? stunted? ... personality slowly beginning to change and mature ... which means that she will encounter painful situations, as she is just coming out of her shell in response to the warm devotion and support of the kyuubi and the scroll (and possibly the other inhabitants of the apartment complex). I like stuff like this. Not terrifically profound or deep, but partly so.

I'll give ep 2 a 7/10 vote and will tentatively keep watching for now.

Watched episode 2,

Ririchiyo looks so cute as an oni.

BTW... I want a Ririchiyo doll after I saw the ED

Here's to hoping they release a plushie....

I've heard Ririchiyo say "Hmph. GuMonDa" (What a foolish question) several times.
What is the Japanese phrase for this? To my untrained ears, I haven't heard many
phrases that start with 'G' (or I haven't been paying close attention) so this phrase
seemed to stick out when I re-watched episode 2.

It is indeed pretty much just "Gumon da" alone. 「ぐもんだ」 in hiragana; 「愚問だ」in kanji. 愚 (read "gu" or "oro(ka)") means foolish/stupid/ignorant. 問 means question/inquiry/problem. "da" is the informal past form of the copula "desu". Literally translated it'd probably be something like "That's a foolish question" but the translation you mention sounds very natural, it's basically correct.

There are plenty of Japanese words/phrases that begin with "g", but I'll decline trying to make a list of them as that would probably reveal my embarrassingly limited Japanese vocabulary :P.

Stalkeroushi has hidden cameras everywhere and when I say EVERYWHERE its damn true, the time he didn't want to leave her alone in the bathroom was because there wasn't a camera there .

Spoiler for ep 3:

Yukinokouji is so funny how she reacts to Ririchiyo. Like how she helped get her ready for the party. Little more look at Ririchiyo's past. Even though she said she wanted to be nice those guys deserved it. Good for her karuta is in the same class.

Lol Ririchiyo got a little jealous. It was bad that she couldn't stop and hurt Soushi. Glad he gave those guys a lesson. Like how she got herself wet to make up for it. Glad they're together again. Looks like another tenant has come back.
