I laughed at the pun at the start: Okashi. XDD
And then that Suzumiya Haruhi parody. The male MC even uses 'Yare yare'!

...And then felt really bad when she couldn't order a coffee properly. On that note, you're right Mokocchi, who drinks that stuff anyways? I sure don't.

-I also have sticker marks all over my drawers! Remnants of a distant past... They've been glued for so long that it's hard to get it off.

-And how was mixing the drink a success?

-Whoa, Kabikicho at night is a heck lot more dangerous at night than when I visited during the day. Though I did see all those DVD watching stores and cabaret clubs... and a drunk woman.

-Is the ending a parody of something?

I do. I love a good cup of cappuccino, though I don't think I can get it this big anywhere around here.

This episode was awesome once again. Watching Tomoko's misadventures is still as heart-wrenching and comical as usual, but we're seeing another facet of her that we may have seen before, but is starting to get really noticeable now: she's incredibly naive.

On the flip side, she's already an expert in making troll faces:

really great episode
the part with Tomoko's pictures being in Tomoki room was really funny

novalysis · 2013-08-06, 22:14

The Cabaret section was hardly funny at all. The way Tomoko tried to dig her grave was nothing short of hair-raising.

Endless Soul · 2013-08-06, 23:15

I'm not entirely sure the Cabaret section was meant to be funny, with the exception of the creepy guy completely bypassing her. That got a sigh of relief from me rather than laughter.

Yeah, I think so - takes a special level of desperation, obviously, but I can understand that Tomoko would appreciate a reminder that someone finds her appealing in some way, no matter what form that appreciation takes.

Well, that was more depressing than usual. Poor Tomoko, almost crying over her loneliness in the classroom. I wonder what kind of hilarity we'll encounter in next week's episode, maybe there's be a side-splitting scene where Tomoko slits her wrists or returns to Kabichiko to begin a career in prostitution. (Not to make it sound as though I don't enjoy this series, I do enjoy it... I think... but again, I find the humor a bit too black for my tastes

)

There's some good looking girls in this show, though. Yuu, the televised cabaret girl, the first not-a-model girl in Kabichiko. Even Tomoko was quite pretty in that brief 'Lady of the night' daydream of hers.

Is it wrong of me to keep waiting or hoping that she will actually make friends?

I checked out the latest manga but it seems like there has been no progress for her.

She's so dumb...

Trogdor Jube · 2013-08-07, 05:49

Tomoko's just naive. She doesn't really have much to go on other then media which let's be honest isn't exactly giving her the best ideas.

Soconfused · 2013-08-08, 12:17

Some kind of mech? They looked kind of familiar, I think they had one on one of DownTown's New Year's specials.

king12354 · 2013-08-08, 22:37

I wonder why I watch this show when I hate self-pitying people.

petran79 · 2013-08-09, 02:29

I wonder whether I should watch the series.

I read the manga and while it definitely had some funny gag moments, it was more filled with sadness and melancholy, helped also by that peculiar manga design.

Is the anime so far focusing mainly on the hilarious moments? If so, I dont think I'lll watch it.

Since the chapters are very short are they 2-3 in every episode?

Also I wonder if the anime skips some parts deemed a little too inappropriate for TV.
Eg later in the manga

Spoiler:

Has the anime such moments?

hamazura · 2013-08-09, 02:39

why dont u try watching episode 1 and decide it yourself -_-
