Torako's pretty good at doing people's hair. It's surprising to see her good at something.

[Tiran86]

The episode wasn't particually good, but for Torako continues to enertain regardless of what she's doing.

Indeed, she has some serious skill.

Funny how the series has never shown this skill before.

[Sorrow-K]

I've a question. Who does this resemble?



I'm certain there's another anime character with a very similar hairstyle, right down to the same colour, but I can't remember who. Anyone have any idea?

Haruna from To Love-Ru?

[Anh_Minh]

She reminds me of Natsuki from Mai-Hime/Otome.

You know thinking about it and looking at that image, i do remember a character with the same glasses and hairstyle.

Hmmm.

Well, have they ever needed to show off this skill in the first place? :P

It's something she's extremely good at, and because of that i just thought it's something that would have appeared sometime before. It doesn't matter either way. :3

Spoiler for Episode 9:

Begin at the beginning, they say, and the beginning is a good place to begin since the OP, after nine episodes, has finally stabilized. No longer a series of clips from the first episode, it can now be called an actual opening. Took long enough, but the final version looks pretty nice.

First half is Minato-centric, with her following Torako, much to Torako's annoyance. The second half was a little different. Suzume takes the center spotlight and gets enough food to feed a small country while never saying a word. Liked the first part leading into the second with Minato finally being able to work the vending machine.

The ED has also evolved, now consisting mostly of sad Ayumi shots. Poor Ayumi.

Overall, a nice week with a lot of Suzu, and the support cast out in full. The new OP and ED really stand out, though. I'm quite pleased with these changes.

Next week: Touma and Index Suzume.

[serenade_beta]

Ha-ha-ha-ha (stiff laugh), they must have worked so hard on the OP/ED that the actual story was completely slacked off on. Just what was the ratio of normal art to SD art...?!

Spoiler for ep9:

Hyakko quality (besides episode 1)! As expected, really enjoyable.
Though one thing that noticeable stood out is the lack of decently drawn characters. Not including Suzume's part at the end, half of the time or more, all of the characters were drawn deformed... Well, I guess compared to badly drawn proper art, it's better (remembers the slanted faces a few episodes back... *shiver)...

OP rocks... Animation-wise. The song is still crap though... But still, the anime is almost done. Why now? Then again, I must find myself impressed that they didn't just wait and put it on the DVDs to attract more customers. Considering how desperate Gonzo is with Rosario+Vampire, this really shows how sad they are...

ED... It used to not fit the anime, now with the new animations, it has become incredibly "Huh? What anime is this?"...
(-__-)
Pleasing art though, yes.

Anyways, good episode. Very fun. Torako really is popular with the other characters. Inori, Ushio, and now Minato.
Suzu's part was a surprising (not bad though, mostly) change of pace, with a predictable plot of collecting candy.

Ushio's a good person after all, huh.

I keep hearing Ooba-san as Obaa-san... >_>

Again... Stop appearing, stupid two kids who have voices at the Shikabane Hime level!!

Preview: Glasses! Finally Glasses' turn!

[fict_ticious]

Well, lots of fun playing with hair - a girl thing that still flies over my head. Also, lol at the bit in the end - "I wish to still be a little girl." /meme
Turned out to be fun to watch. Next ep seems to be about the very tall, dark-skinned moeblob.
I think I just described Athena Glory.

As for the OP, as the series progresses, are we going to get less and less stock footage or something?

As of episode nine, it's changed to be entirely new footage. The ED too.

Obtaining 9 to confirm.
EDIT: Well, new OP is better now - less stock footage but still just as much walking :V
Didn't think the ED makeover was necessary.

I'm certain there's another anime character with a very similar hairstyle, right down to the same colour, but I can't remember who. Anyone have any idea?

All that comes to mind when I see the makeover is Kanade from Candy Boy. I cannot unsee it.

[Pellissier]

Episode 8 was so good. Probably the funniest until now. I liked how they played the Ringu parody with Inori. It wasn't new, since it started in the previous episodes, but the following two caps almost killed me for the LOLs .



Anyway, here's a recollection of all the change of hairstyles we have seen :

Spoiler for sensei:

Also 2 bonus gifs:

[Tiberium Wolf]

I loved the part when Torako said sensei had evolved.

Normally I don't post the avatars I make here, but I figure just this once I'll show off some of them. At the very least I want to focus on the girl that I'd like to eventually see more of. So here is some "Nikaidou Hitsugi" love.

Who is she? Is she a new character?

^ Nikaidou Hitsugi
She and Yagi appeared first at the near end of episode 04. They always do the preview for next episodes.

She reminds me of Tojo Aya of Ichigo 100%.

As for episode 9, i like the new OP, especially the one with fisheye lens effect. The ED is nice too. However, the quality of animation of this episode has dropped somewhat in my opinion.
