And the preview shows no trace of the Valentine episode either.

Color me extremely disappointed and frustrated. Looks like all promises of "manga fans will be happy" notwithstanding at the beginning of season 4, we'll be stuck with filler-of-the-week. Not to say that these may be necessarily bad, but there will be no progress in the main arcs.

Given what Nishizawa said in the first part of the episode, their world's time and date is in step with ours(maybe even a week slower, I think). So I'd be holding out hopes for another week.

No Saku this week though. T.T

Not too bad, pretty decent anime original. From a comedy standpoint, I think the series has been doing a decent job of retaining the manga flavor (minus the entire butler stuff). Although, as with other manga viewers,

Spoiler for manga spoiler:

I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of the "love is in the air" feeling. There is a serious lack of Hina and Ayumu. And although Valentines day hasn't arrived yet, the baked yam scene is giving me some doubts that the Valentines episodes will actually deliver. Ayumu met Hina while chasing for the baked yam seller; now what will be the prop?

Guess I wasn't the only one who felt a sinking feeling at the yam scene. Given that next week is Valentine's Day and the previews pretty much rule out any possibility of those events happening...I'm not sure what to think at the moment. They could use completely different transitions, but with only half a cour left...

seriously, where are mai subs?

If there is no valentine eps there is still a chance that arc will be shown since it's not 3rd March yet

Spoiler:

Her birthday date
They already show her birthday costume at OP and put her and Nishizawa on the same scene at the ED so I think at least something will happen

From their release patterns, it seems as if Static Subs & Eclipse are focusing on other shows right now. I don't want to watch a show without subs so...

*prays that Clannad get licensed and be done with*

[FRS]

Sub are out.

[dodgethis_sg]

Oh, the irony of calling Maria a hataraku.

[Deathkillz]

Maria is 17 forever! Don't forget that >_<

Really good "relaxing" ep. Maria scores more points in showing how diverse her abilities are, whaa she is perfect ^^

Main plot is out of the window, this series is all fluff

You're telling me that it hasn't always been like this? I say that's just one of the reasons why i love this series so much.

[The Chaos]

I Liked This Ep A Lot...^^
Poor Maria-San
I Give it 10/10
Witting For Next Week Ep : )

I'm just saying that the blind hope for something more should be killed so that 1) it is less of a disappointment 2) nice surprise if something good does happen.

It's only a select few character that is keeping me interested now, and those don't include Nagi or Hayate (too much rinse and repeat has become a bore for me ).

For some reason the manager boring Hinagiku to death reminds me to the manager in Sakura Taisen

Because he's a parody of him. I mean come on... same glasses, same eyes, same wrinkles lol. Pretty much a carbon copy .

Even with me being a fan of Maria, this ep seemed rather dull... Even her in her bathing suit was not very interesting, but maybe that's my fault for not being fond of black... Unless it's a skirt or dress, it turns me off .

BTW, are HnG fans dying? This thread hardly has any posters... Or, not many Maria fans?

Never tell to Maria-san than being Ever 17 is not young enough.

It just got subbed, expect more posts.

[riddle]

Well this is a good episode for me. It's Maria's show again....

Spoiler:

Maria can only relax when she's working hard, I guess....
And also this episode as the remainder as she's pichi2 juu-nana-sai lolz. There were so many age jokes in this episodes but it's still enjoyable for me to see them.

And also is it just me or it's been a while since Hinagiku got her screen time? It may be of the late subbing but well I'm really glad to see her again in this episode.

I hope it will be more merrier here after episode 48 got released. I'll be looking forward to it refer to the preview....
