I see this anime being to moe what The Incredibles movie was to classic spandex-clad superhero comics. The Incredibles parodied its subject material a bit (what with jokes about the drawbacks of capes, how supervillains tend to monologue too much for their own good, etc...) but it was also a celebration of that same subject material.

As usual, Keima quotes are awesome. This episode felt pretty alright overall, though the part where Shiori went on about books are xxx got kinda redundant imo. Shiori's seiyu was fitting imo, then again, I recognise seiyus from their names but their voices instead Just need confirmation, sorry if it has been asked already but is the picture of Shiori at the end of the episode done by the same artist who drew for the visual novel H2O: Footprints in the sand?
And for a slightly off-topic question: Anyone else besides me wishes that the novels that Keima plays get made into real games just like they are in the anime? D:

One can only wish... But there are alot of Visual Novels out their to enjoy either way. There might even be a visual novel hidden very well that resembles what Keima played but Keima just played waaay too much gal games for us to even think about which one he actually played, or even try to make them into real games

This is definitely an affectionate parody of moe rather than a full out mockery. In the end, it always uses those same cliches that it mocks. Because, well, if it didn't then Keima wouldn't have a head for very long and there'd be no series.

All I know is she's adorable and I want one. <3
The girls he has to deal with seem to get better as he goes along. It started with the tsunderes (not my favorites by any means, but still cute), then went to Kanon, and now we're on quite possibly the most adorable (and time consuming) girl I've seen in a long time. I envy you Kami-sama.

Oh yes on a side note, they included something new in the episode didn't they? I'm talking about the intermission pictures or something where Keima and Elysee said Kami Nomi. Just curious but was the game that Kanon was advertising some kinda joke? Or was it an actual advertisement? Need some confirmation for this as well, I read somewhere that the Shiori arc will take three episodes?

Anime Visual Novels... maybe you mean games like School Days? That game is pretty much 100% animated and it's surely not your typical Visual Novel either. The advertisement was random but not real (yet?), it's like tsun said so... random joke which is random. And yeah, Shiori will take 3 episodes. It'd be strange for them to cut off after her capture and it wouldn't be right for her to have more episodes than Kanon.

To really hit it they should have had Kanon advertising the DVD release.

Well the episode was nice for most part of the episode the LC's so cute and her obsession for fire trucks was well portrayed in the adaptation, then the episode slowed down, it's understandable since Shiori's actions are slow as well but i think that they went overboard when she said all those comparitions of what are the books for her and her love for them, nevertheless it was a good episode and shiori it's a very cute character.

And if you're gonna compare it thoroughly, you can also say that Mio has more episodes than Ayumi. About the manga proportions, Kanon and Shiori approx. have 12~14 more pages than Mio which is indeed close. Let's go from the view of Mio's amount of episodes which is 1.5 vs 3 episodes Kanon + Shiori. Add 14 pages you compress into half an episode, and from Mio arc perspective, you'd have 2 episodes. Easy maths. Sadly, it doesn't work that way because you need to consider things like: - the significance and impact of the chars and their situations / events (Foreshadowing? Merchandising?) - that fewer content (13 less pages) is easier to compress in most cases - if a faster pacing would be too rushed and if it wouldn't be, would they instead pace other episodes slower to make up or would they include additional content for the conserved time? - What exactly could they include if they even considered it beforehand (which I doubt they did looking at the existance of second season)? etc. Ultimately it would probably come down to one extra (or even just half) episode's content if they really left out and cut all the 'unimportant' stuff. I still stand by my opinion that while that one more episode's content would be nice, not having it isn't too self-destructive either. Airing at late night, having competition from other most popular series, not being overloaded with the money maker called fanservice and finally being 'just' an adaption are what makes TWGOK not as popular as it could be. Otherwise I think it's a quite qualitative anime and it's not doing anything wrong. Having a certain character appear would give an impact for next season but it's not a must and it wouldn't sky rocket anything, probably. Well, let's just wait and see how this season comes to an end and how the next season turns out to be to have a better view.

Shiori was very cute this ep. and quite loveable. It was also nice to see that this time, Keima didn't treat the girl like an utter ass at the beginning, as he did with Kanon
Elsie shows her knowledge of Japanese history with Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry and his Black Ships, which arrived in Uraga bay on 14 April 1853. Very good to see a girl with interest in Japanese History, that makes her already much more interesting for me It was also very cute once again to see her fascination for fire trucks Quote:

For Shiori, if it's so difficult for her to find the right word, she should simply use this: Cookies for anyone who gets the meaning behind this Quote:
