Hirose has some weird dreams...

I think they overkilled the episode with too much fanservice. Anyways lots of Otoha/Hinata goodness. Couple of spoofs too: Pokemon's Team Rocket, Sailor Moon, and I think a Shakugan no Shana reference...

Yes, leekspin Yui FTW!

This episode was almost disturbing with how random it was. I guess there had to be one or two episodes like this though.

I think most people got lost at this episode, although everything should be solved at the end!
You should have realized that it was a world Otoha send him to, to test if she could leave in peace (like Hotaru's story said). She now believes that she can rest in piece, so i believe she left the world!!!

The thing i did not understand yet is why Hirose can still see. I assumed Otoha gave him his eyesight, so now that she is gone, maybe by next episode, or at 10, he will lose his eyesight!!!

Qft. This just wasn't executed right. I feel like it totally jumped genres from last episode to this.

I'm STILL wondering how the hell Takuma ran into Otoha and ended up having her ass on his face. What did he do, bump into her while sliding under her?

And I belived this anime got better and better a little each episode.. :rolleyes:
The episode was stupid, absolutely unfitting and destroyed the whole mood the previous episodes had build up.

If it was a full comedy anime like Hayate i would understand the parodys but they were completely out of place here and only made me want to delete this episode right away.

Let's see if they can rescue the crap next week.

I actually love this episode more than anything before. Nice gags and Otoha character. As suspected, she is Hinata.

That's what I thought at first, but after seeing the ending you can't really count it as a filler. Since this episode is last we'll probably ever see of Otoha again. It was a really weird episode overall, but the material involved was just a way of Otoha making sure she can leave without worrying about Hirose.

I enjoyed it. I loved Takuma's reaction during the scene where he was dead tired at school, telling Yui not to stand on the window and telling Otoha to transform first. And of course the Miku parody was win.

Ok....this was a WTF episode but was still a little funny. I'm still wondering how they are going to end it.

Also did anyone else watch the parody of this episode. It's hilarous. It's called "Hydrogen Oxide Foodprints in the Snow". It's a great way to make fun of this episode.

This was definitely one of the most weirdest episodes of any series that I have seen. I thought the show was finally really getting good, but then we had some episode like this. It wasn't horrible, it was somewhat entertaining and funny... Well, I liked the ending at least.

Well until someone who has played the game can refute this statement, it is pretty much safe to say that a good 60-70% of the episode is filler material. The latter half of part B was made of pure win though. They didn't go with the Otoha ending...*cries*...even if it was obvious that she wasn't the "main" girl.

Now that Otoha/Hinata's wish has been fulfilled, what's next for the H2O crew? I'm still hoping that Hirose goes blind for at least 1 more episode...

We have 4 more episodes right?

i think it's a bit of a disappointment that otoha has to go, but it was predictable.
her world is quite messed up but sort of "funny" in a weird way.
i enjoyed it even though it ruined the plot development.

it's kinda weird how they suddenly change the style of this anime... it goes from something extremely deep and serious to some comedy seto-no-hanayome spin off. (when i saw this episode, the first thing i thought of was snh >_<)

a lot of fanservice... it gets repetitive...

At first, watching the RAW without understanding anything and seeing Otoha in the first screen, I was kinda relieved that the episode must be handling Otoha on this episode.

Then it was becoming weird, screen by screen. I suddenly stop watching and have got to check the previous episodes if I missed something or skipped an episode. But I haven't, so as the Subs came out I had to check out what I didn't understand.

But those "fillers" can't just be understood.

I would have forgiven them if they only shorten the time in this episode by 10 minutes.
And I'm pretending now, not having seen those fillers. >_>

Well, I was confused. I sat here watching while thinking "Wasn't this a heavy drama anime?", while an ecchi Motan-esce Magical girl transformation scene played out. Glad at least we got somthing plot like at the last 2 minutes.

Then I read your posts, and find I wasn't alone.

I don't know, i thought it was brilliant
a nice bit of comical relief in the middle of all the building up stress.
i think it was well done, at any rate.
all the parodies were just win, and changing the theme song and breaking the fourth wall was very hayate-ish.

Damn. Why they added this? O_o

After I raised the score from 5 to 6 points after the IMO good 7th episode, now I give this series a 5 again.

I hope they're done now, with all the "comedy"-things they wanted to add, so that this series can finally become a drama-only anime.
