The use of the OP music and the gorgeous animation of the books falling everywhere kicked this episode into the 10 rating. The first episode of the series to reach that level for me.
Question: This has probably been answered already, but I'll ask anyway. At the very end, when Keima was playing his game, the game girl asked "Will you come to see me again?" He clicked a response. Which button did he click? The Yes? Or the No button? I don't know the game pad, so I can't guess based on its location.

Well, in the scene the 'Yes' was the last choice to light up yellow, and if you go from a Japanese PSP's standard, he was hitting the confirm button there. So it's safe to assume he did go for 'Yes'. However it's still ambiguous enough to say otherwise. Though looking at the situation and Keima's nature it's still reasonable to hit 'Yes' anyway, including for capturing the 2D girl at that time so it makes more sense in the end.
P.S.: Taking another look at that ingame girl, she looks like a mix between Shiori (hair style) and Suzumiya Haruhi (the ribbons being yellow, the hair color and eye color brown, and the school uniform also having similarities).

At the beginning of the episode, I found it surprising that Shiori had found the courage to barricade herself in the library - I wouldn't have expected that of her.
What they did well was showing Shiori's background. Overall though, the episode felt a little slow and flat, with not much happening, not even any comedic moments with Elsie or otherwise. 8/10 Quote:
Only because the power goes off later, he talks a little bit, before Shiori disappears under the books. He then pulls he out from under the books, then suddenly kisses her. It was as if Keima got impatient and was thinking: "Ok, this has been going on long enough already. Let's just skip all the 'Make the girl fall for you' stuff, kiss her right away and get this over with." Quote:
Good to hear that I really hope they will have more arcs like Kanon's arc in the second season. Quote:

Three was really the limit, dragging it on for a fourth episode would've been painful Quote:
Wrong. Keima doesn't use Sony's Psp *at all*, he uses a completely different console, the PC FX Portable, a handheld version of the PC-FX by Nec (which is pretty much unknown outside of Japan). As galge are very wide-spread on the PC-FX, they would also be wide-spread on a portable version of it. (If it existed that is. It seems the author is a big PC-FX fan and thus thought up the PC-FX Portable for his series.)

The theme of the arc was "communication without dialog" so Keima sitting next to her not talking to her isn't really indicative of a lack of support. Just having someone else be there at all when she's doing her bold library protest thing is pretty strong. The "romance" nature of it is certainly a bit rushed, but romance was never the point (and will continue to not be the point).

For those who are afraid of spoilers: Official name = Play Field Personal (Then again, when the author himself has problems setting the official english names of H and Elsie, take this with a pinch of salt) From what I understand, the name PCFX Portable was used by the mangaka only for the oneshot settings. (Do note that the word PFP or PCFX Portable was not mentioned in the oneshot). I would say it's best not to be too particular on which device does PFP refers to, as it combines elements of both the appearance of Playstation Portable, and the policy towards consoles of NEK(Galgames...).

"Nitpicking" my shiny metal ass. It looks like a PSP, it has "PFP" written the same way "PSP" is written in the same place as on a PSP, and shares two-thirds of its full name with the aforementioned PlayStation Portable. It's a frickin' Bland Name Product version of a PSP, plain and simple. Trying to find relations to some obscure NEC console is "nitpicking"...

As a gamer debate, it is.
The author probably chose the PSP wannabee because of Project Miku and a few other galge games on it. Sadly the NDS is quite cheap on that type of games... while giving plenty of the textual adventure (Phoenix, Wright, Layton, Hotel Dusk and so on). He needed a modern console, with Internet capabilities and of course a portable design. Only the PSP 3000 had all those features in 2009. Notice he also indirectly critizes Sony, adding the still asked second analog stick, and a retractable keyboard, to his PFP.

1) PFP was created by NEK(This was not changed from the oneshot) 2) PFP in oneshot settings stands for PC FX Portable, but changed to Play Field Personal in the serialization, Since these facts are straight from the omake, unless your saying it is non-canon. Quote:

Forgot to comment here sooner, but I felt the ending to Shiori's arc was well developed and supported and the use of the OP's full version during the episode was well done . Though I am still a bit torn on which girl's arc I liked more overall hmm..
