Spoiler for ep.4:

Seems in the anime there are more hints on Jun x Yasaka. Seeing Jun's nee-san in the mix is great, though she reminds me alot of Tae the school nurse from School Rumble. The comedy about Yasaka and Arashi visiting Jun's home and she has to hide ever last evidence that she is a girl from Yasaka.

Time traveling near accident Jun almost seeing herself in the past, she almost disappeared, but just in the nick of time to warp out of the past. We see a kid Jun probably age 5 or so, in the past.

Good episode about Yasaka and Jun again and the return of Yayoi and Kanako anime skits...

Crunchyroll fails miserably!

Spoiler for screenshot:

How could they not recognize a reference to Sailor Moon, of all things!
That's a mistranslation, the phrase was interpreted as 月に変わって instead of 月に代わって. You'd think that CR would be able to translate from AR scripts, but no.
Oh well.

Do wonder what Hajime whispered to Jun at the end. :P

He was searching for Jun's porno stack.

Spoiler for ep 4:

The Eureka 7 reference caught me by surprise, I completely forgot about the VA connection between Kaya/Hajime.

Lots of focus and Jun and Hajime this season, which is providing some great comedy but I'm hoping for more episodes about Arashi. The second halves of episode 2 and 3 have been my favorite so far.

One thing bothers me here...

Spoiler for Jun x Yasaka:

When Jun's sister told her that her boyfriend Yasaka is coming also along with Yasaka, she blushed and didn't got mad at her sister.

Yasaka x Jun or Arashi is a-ok on my part.

It's always wonderful to hear Michiko Neya.

And I loved that they chose this episode to toss in the Eureka Seven reference due to the three E7 seiyuu being present in the scene.

So it does get better? Good, because God, that first episode was fucking abysmal.

They don't even bother introducing the magical realism or what the hell is going on and it wasn't funny at all.

That's why you have the episodes after the first one to explain, and they did a good job of it as well.

Aye could use a more balanced approach to character focus...Really starting to run the whole "Hajime not knowing Jun's a girl" shtick into the ground...

Yes, that first episode tends to throw people off, primarily because it's actually the last.

Not unlike Haruhi's "Asahina Mikuru's Adventure Episode 00".

[Noe]

Another good episode. I liked the music.

[monir]

Had a stupid grin on my face through the entire episode.

Aw! Jun x Yasaka pairing animated is getting to me! If only Arashi was loli 13 or 14. I think Jun's has a growing liking to Yasaka over time. Reverse trap at it's best here in this series.

Well, I finally watched all the episodes from this season. It is so sad, that it is revealed that Arashi and the other ghost will disappear when the summer ends. The most sad thing is that Yasaka because of his science passion still doesn't believe that Arashi is a ghost.

Ghosts that can travel through time.

a little off topic...
It is called "time skip" and it is a little different from time travel. You only can go back in time with "time skip" while time travel allows you to go to the future too. In science fiction, it is said that is easier to do "time skip" because those events already happened, while going to the future is more difficult or even impossible. Japanese writers like the concept of "time skip" a lot compared to western writers who do more the "time travel concept". I guess it is the same thing with the different FTL methods used in science fiction; Warp, hyperspace, Jump gates, jump drives etc etc.

Isn't it the same since it involves time traveling too?

Ghosts that can travel through time.

According to Natsu no Arashi! rules, time leap to the past takes time in present. i.e. if you travel back for an hour, you're gone in your time for an hour as well, or at least that's how it looked like to me.
Their time is still limited and I don't remember if they can leap only to other year's summers.

I might be completely mistaken here though.
