Ep 4
Bwahaha the "pilgrimage to the sacred land" was fun. In the end I wonder if it was his class mate or was he dreaming.

I'm looking forward to next episode "Welcome to the Counseling". It seems that Satou will agree on the contract after all? :O

[yjs]

Did anyone notice how the animation and character art quality took a massive nosedive this episode? Reminds me of Haibane Renmei when in the middle of series the art looked like ass but become decent again before the series ended. Here's hoping NHK will look great like on episodes 1-3 next time.

Yeap, it's a good episode. I note the character art style for Satou & Yamazaki would revert on and off to more anime-style art and animation during the episode. It seems appropriate, since they are exploring Akihabara, the holy land of anime and all things otaku.

Given his senpai knocked on the glass to get his attention, called his name and is wearing office apparel (rather than school uniform), I guess he isn't dreaming.

I'll agree that the animation for episode 04 was down, but that didn't stop it from being one great watch that i've come to suspect from NHK.

It was a all out great watch, brilliant to see Satou's reactions to many things he hasen't seen before - and the 'going to tie my shoe-laces' technique.. i remember doing that a few times in the past. ^^;;

There's just something about the dialogue that i'm loving about this show, and bring senpai back into the story.. looking very forward to seeing more to her, and what she'll do to the plot.

[ryomakun]

yes, the animation really is bad in this episode. the drawing of misao is pretty bad. (6:4x - 7:xx) those are the minutes im pointing at. ^^

[Kisuke06]

The animation bad in episode 4, but it wasn't THAT bad. It was a good episode, not as much funny as episode 3 but it was interesting, and now his senpai is back, I want to see more of her.


It looks like next episode is going to be very good, It seems that Saitou will enter in the "Project."

[Deathkillz]

well the animation dnt bother me that much and its still a fresh and enhoyable series very funny throughout this ep XD
the pilgrimage to the sacred land is something i want to aim for in my life now...and when i get there ill turn bankrupted
btw is it natrual for me to start liking the purupuru rin song? its growing on me >.<

LOL I know I'm the same. I actually got happy when I listened to it in today's episode thinking "It's been awhile...".

I wonder if it's a real song? Or is it gonna be released? :O

[Majek]

I luckily still hate the song, but i started reading the manga today and even though i hate the song i'm missing it while reading

maybe they are saving the budget on "not so important eps" to produce very high quality "important eps" that is really significant to the story?

The animation was a bit down in this episode, but it did not detract from the overall fun at all. I still think it's a somewhat odd series, but nonetheless very enjoyable. Looking forward to Counseling.

Just watched #4.

Amazing how they're doing this... just... I should probably be crying, not laughing (well, smiling/chuckling) at these people, since this is probably what some people are actually like.

Spoiler for Episode 4:

I really enjoy the flashbacks... they always seem so meaningful. It seems like he never remembers any other part of his life unprompted but his experiences in that club and now with Misaki who wants to cure him, which is interesting. I want to see more flashbacks, to be honest.

Although watching the two guys act deranged is entertaining, for some reason I've felt like the show has been in limbo ever since they decided to make the galge. Maybe because you know it can't be meaningful because he's only doing this on a fervent whim stemming from his fear of being labeled hikikomori, to delay any furthering of the situation between Misaki and himself.

Anyway, I really look forward to next week's episode...

Look back a few pages, and you'll see the release for the single, and the ringtone.

[yjs]

This has the makings of a great series, can't wait for the next one.

The creativity came out from Satou after the pilgimage
Kamisama Kazoku+ Victorian Romance Emma+ Gundam Seed Destiny = Higurashi

[WanderingKnight]

Man, gimme 20 bucks and a crew of kindergarten animators and I'll pull off an episode like that. Animation was just HORRID! Man! At least it kept some of the fun, but curse Gonzo for this severely butchered down animation.

[Doraneko]

Can someone post the "ultimate moe" picture shown in the manga that portrays the sick maid-robot-alien-ghost-fox-whatever childhood friend+neighbour+classmate drawn by Yamazaki? I would just like to see how much the anime version differs from it.

[Majek]

sure

Spoiler:

[lavielove]

Majek , is it possible to put in the spoiler tag ?
