Even though the story is fairly typical of the anime medium, I am still loving this series due to the excellent directing and overall execution. Thank you Shinbou, this one is such a good time! Also, Marika best girl.

For a while now I had been expecting this Marika character after everyone kept on going on about how the "best girl" was yet to appear. I was kind of excited because I actually really like the 3 females characters that had been developed in Nisekoi (Chitoge, Tsugumi and Onodera). And then when she arrives, she's absolutely loathsome. Truly and utterly odious. I'm hoping that like we saw at the end, she was just hiding her true personality and who she really is is going to be developed further. Because if this is who she is....well, anyone but you Marika...

Can someone explain to me about what happened in the end? Raku claims he doesn't remember Marika yet when she goes yandere and reveals her accent, he recognizes her as Marie?

Marika is my least favourite character but one that is sure to set up many of the future cliffhangers and much of the tension. If I was Raku, I would have left the country by now or faked my own death.

"Smooch on top"? Now I really want to know. These damn cliffhangers are killing me xD Trying to restrain myself from reading the manga.

Is this the point at which we jump the shark?


Yes it seems like it. This episode was full blown harem comedy and drama. I should've expected it, but this felt like it dropped the ball compared to previous episodes. But hey, it is a silly harem so what else would there be?

And she finally appeared!!!
The second opening is fantastic but it' such a waste for the remaining 6 episodes.
And Tsugumi stealing the episode with her disguise.
But seriously, I'm really in love with Asumi Kanas voice, can't wait to see more of Marie! <3

Marika was actually pretty cute. Things aren't looking good for Onodera but I'm not jumping ship just yet.

Fun fact1: that was actually the response of manga reader when Marika first introduced, but now not many people can bring themselves to hate her even if they are rooting for other pairing. But again, the anime will only adapt until chapter 50ish or something, so can't predict the same for anime viewer only.

Fun fact2: it was hinted indirectly by the author that out of all Raku's harem member, Marika loves him the most. Even that Ruri-chan who is helping Onodera said that she has to respect Marika for her dedication. I think this is why not many people can really hate her even if not rooting for her.

Fun fact3: I believed she is voiced by the same actor who voiced Nyaruko and I find it interesting considering how similar their character are.

Marika! She seems really interesting, she is pretty over the top with her acting which makes it obvious but it is quite likable.
I mean Marika got the other 3 girls to be flustered xD
That abuse of power... lol and the mafia versus police war.

Marika made everyone shine, Onodera confused, Chitoge getting annoyed, and Tsugumi "gathering" information for Chitoge.
In anime, people really are bad at stalking especially their disguises. :)

LMFAO! When the swat team rushes in and surrounds Tsugumi, that was the funniest moment of this anime so far.. Quite an entertaining class we have here.

I just noticed when Chitoge was walking before the cops questioned her, it showed the same designs in the background from the beginning of the KagePro music video "Heat Haze Daze" XD A sign that Mekaku City Actors is here.

I like how Marika is the only one who is open about her feelings for Raku. Very charming girl, all the other girls are too shy or tsunderes. She sure is a cutie, but as of now, I'm not rooting for anyone in particular. Can't wait for next week!

Hey, you're right, didn't notice that. I prefer Marika to Nyarko, Nyarko always came across as too rapey for me (still love that voice).

OMFG!! This is by far, the best episode!!! MARIKA is awesomely adorable even when she reverts to her "old" self. Onodera seems like a shadow compared to her. I LOVE it when Chitoge gets jealous!

So torn between all the girls!! I like Marika coz she's bold enough to show her feelings.Though Tsumugi is cute also, I'm not fond of the tsundere type so she's last. Onodera is just shy and Chitoge still isn't sure of her feelings so they're in the middle (don't know who's better though of the two).

Shu being carried when Marika was introduced was hilarious!!

Seriously can't wait for next week!!! 10/10 for this episode!!!

There are some great potential GIF that can be made from this ep. Couldn't stop laughing at Chitoge's facial expression when she got called a gorilla for the first time by Marika.
Loved it how Marika was a ticking time bomb, thankfully there should still be some development in her character now that she's out of her shell.

LOL police force stormed the school because Tsumugi was holding a gun towards her.
Omg Tsumugi's disguise. Tooooo damn beautiful.
LOL that personality change.
Guess the accent change flipped a switch in Raku's head and now he remembers.
And the war for Raku continues.

So she's finally here, the girl people kept talking about... AND SHE'S THE FUCKING COMMISSIONER OF POLICE!!!

She's cute, she's his fiancee and she's a funny/yandere girl. Damn, that's too much best girl material here. STILL I'M NOT LEAVING MY ONODERA SHIP EVEN IF MY HIGHNESS SHALL SINK FOREVER IN THE DEPTH OF RAKULAND.

About the episode himself, it was great. We saw a lot of character come back to their usual behavior, like Tsugumi lacking a bit too much of trigger discipline, Chitoge being a gorilla and Onodera having some shyness issue :P

Poor Raku, he's really fucked around by every girl that surround him. They either play with, go totally psycho or can't confess their feeling. WILL THERE BE AN END TO THIS MADNESS??!? Probably not ;)

Chances are Chitoge is going to win the harem, which I would have liked if Marika wasn't such an awesome character.

Yeah, not really seeing why everyone is so crazy over Marika. From the time she appeared on screen until the end of the episode, she did nothing but annoy me. The schizo flip at the end did not help her chances any, it's like someone tried to merge Onedera, Chitoge, and Tsugumi into one character- and this is what happened when that experiment failed.

Other than that, this episode had some great comedy moments, even though a lot of them were reactions to the annoying new girl.

All in all, not a bad episode. I'll give it 6/10
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again.

Marika hides a personality that even I was surprised. That angry voice was unexpected. All of the girls followed Raku and Marika while they were on their date.
Raku likes long haired girls.

Now that all of the girls have shown themselves, I can now relieve myself of most of my questions.
