AGAIN, this could have been condensed into HALF an episode. But this one was really cute so I'll let it slide.

The awesomeness wore off a bit, but this was still a great ep.

Another character introduced in this ep. He looks like he'll be pretty funny.

Woohoo, another awesome show. And Souichiro Hoshi actually sounds NORMAL this time.

I hate that hair! And no I'm not talking about Aoi, though her hair isn't all that great either.

RPG parodies galore. And Hisakawa's chara Munemune is introduced. I like Munemune.

Well, the show did exactly what I didn't want: switch to a new world every episode. But since it's so funny I don't care anymore. This episode was all sci-fi anime parodies, mostly of the giant robot variety. Since I haven't seen many giant robot anime (I'm more of a live action sentai fan when it comes to giant robot stuff), I had no idea what, if any, particular shows they were doing parodies of. That doesn't mean it wasn't funny, because it was. They even changed the art style; most likely another parody of something.

Martial arts parodies! Sasshi even dons Bruce Lee's yellow jump suit, and does some excellent impressions. Hilarious stuff here.

Only the second episode and they're already bustin' out awesome hair styles for Koboshi! Woo!

If not for Misha's ponytail and Koboshi being her usual level of awesome, this would have put me to sleep.

Now that's more like it. Koboshi should be the star of this show. Koboten!

Watching this has encouraged me to go play Galaga tomorrow on a cloud floating over Mt Everest.

Yeah. Anyway, this was just as wacky as the first episode, except this one had a bit more fanservice, especially with the inclusion of big breasted gaijin Mary Honey.

Rie AND Yukarin! This was cute overload. And I'm guessing it'll only get cuter. Well, everything but Misha's teeheehee shtick. That needs to go.

And I thought Tenchi Muyo! GXP was ugly. Holy crap. But despite its extreme ugliness, this was very fun to watch. Hayashibara was the perfect choice for Megumi. When I wasn't laughing at the quite funny intended humor, I'd just laugh at how ugly the characters were. So basically I was laughing the entire episode. Looking forward to more.

Not bad. The two main kids are great together, and they speak with the kansai dialect, which I find fun to listen to. I was hoping the show would only take place in the nice little town they had here, but a wacky new dimension will be alright too, provided there's only ONE. If they switch to a new world every episode, I think I'll lose interest pretty quickly.

Both episodes were great as usual, 17 especially. I can't believe how much I've come to like Ryoko Shintani's voice (Milfeulle) throughout both seasons of this show. Anyway, season two is now done. Give me season three! And give the characters back their fan service friendly outfits!

I loved this! Rizel is one of the cutest and most annoying characters I've ever seen. Rie Kugimiya is a God. Of seiyuu.

This turned out much better than I thought it would. I had no idea what the series was about before I watched this first episode. I had seen pics here and there but never cared enough to do any actual research.

What made the show so enjoyable for me was the protagonist Hideki not afraid of showing his perverse side. Plus he's hilarious. Of course, sexy Chii didn't hurt the experience either.

CAT FIGHT! Tessa and Mao are a couple of hotties when they're fired up. Tessa moreso. If only all filler episodes in anime were this good.
