Welp, that girl's braids is a bit long...

Really glad to see all the girls coming together for help though. And it also looks like the setting of this series can also transit into different places on occasions when the plot is right. That almost got a bit spooky at night

Look at that neat multicolored hair Hina is sporting, her personality reminds me of my old hairdresser as well. Kinoko's appearance was interesting because it felt like she was more of a cameo (she appeared in the library as well way in the back) but she ends up joining the girls later on in the episode.

Well... when you are with a bunch of friends you aren't going to study. The episode addressed this well.

Akane and Shiranui finding some kittens and decides to find owners for them.

4 of 5 candidates being faced with improving the midterm scores!

Kazuha having to count with her hands xD

So much for the study sessions in the library with them being too nice to abandon any request.

The girl joining in the convenience store and leaving soon after!

It was nice to see the girls improving their grades and got that kittens.

Man, they were really trying to shoehorn Kinoko into this episode, weren't they? She was literally in the background of near enough every scene before eventually getting some dialogue later on.

Decent episode, but the characters who were focused on this time weren't as interesting in my eyes. And we've still yet to see a slew of the characters.

It was also interesting to note that there was a slight change to the OP animation this time, with the members of the band (the VAs of whom sing the OP song) appearing this time around.

1. What a terribly boring ep. Bring back chloe the french girl!!!

2. There's too many girls in a 12 ep series… never thought that would be a prob…

3. i had to rewatch ep1 where Kokomi x chloe were talking at the end. those 2 really had something going & the series just strays away from that. im just so confused x_x.

It's based off a F2P dating sim for mobile (and browser via Google Chrome) as well.

In my opinion, I think that the hair styles of the girls are fine. I mean, they may be farfetched but it's like a trend to make them stand out from the extras. BTW, anyone noticed that it's Fumio Murakami's birthday today?

So in the end they started learning at the last possible moment like most high school students.
Well at least they had fun before that i guess.

Was nice to see Shiranui's tho she was so shy but still offered them a place to study in the end.

You can run the game on your smart phone with iOS 5.0 or higher, but they are
recommending iOS 6.0 or higher. The basic version (1.4.13) is free, and you
can get it here:
https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/garufurendo-jia/id570930454

You can run it on Android 2.2 or higher, and they recommend 4.0 or higher. The
free app (version 2.1.22) is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ameba.vcard

If either of those links don't work, try here:

They claim it is possible to play it on Google Chrome, but I don't know the details.
The PC browser version is mentioned here:

It's actually true that you can play on Google Chrome and it's recommended if you don't want to be pestered to keep playing (another user here has played it and uninstalled it since the app pestered him to get him to play) or you don't want to be bothered with fiddling around with your phone (the mobile version is region locked to Japan's Google play store).

I like this episode because of how cute this is.

I think I can see why Okanagan likes Shiranui, her doll like face, her accent, and bland tsundereness. She looks like Yamato Nadeshiko, or probably she is. I also like Sagara for her bubbly and cheerful personality, and the Judo girl.

It was a fun watching them do stuff together. Himejima scaring the girls from the blackout is amusing.

This is anime is watching cute girls do random school things. Which I'm fine with it and see it as a nice, relaxing stress relief.

Needs more Chloe and Kokomi next episode! I miss those two.

@Magito:

Everything that you said about Isuzu Shiranui is true, and those are certainly appealing
points. However, the most intriguing thing about her is that her best subject is Physics.
So after she becomes my bride, she'll be pulling down US$200,000 a year in an engineering
job while I sit at home in the Japanese garden. On the other hand, she dislikes meat (肉)
but loves Japanese greens (春菊). I am more-or-less the opposite.

There is a very detailed set of official background information for each of the 100+
girls in the game. Here is the profile for Isuzu (written in Japanese):
http://gamedb.xii.jp/gf_kari/girl.php?id=74

Notably, her interests (趣味) are kimonos (着物) and people-watching (人間観察). In Episode 4,
we heard that flower arranging (華道) is her family business, not her personal hobby.
There are not many modern-day anime characters who wear a kimino all the time, including
when they are sleeping. The teenage spirit medium "Masako Hara" in "Ghost Hunt" does.

They give her height (身長), weight (体重) and "three sizes" (3サイズ). It seems strange to me
that they don't go the extra mile and tell me her bra cup size. After all, that is the
first statistic that most potential boyfriends would be curious to know.

Isuzu's blood type (血液型) is AB. Voice actors normally have their blood type
specified on their Wikipedia pages. I don't know why blood type is so important.

LOL!

But, this was a nice episode still. :3
I really thought those girls were gonna end up NOT studying at all, but they did study at the end.
And.....they got an average grade on there midterms......
And they get to keep the cats too. :P

Pretty sweet. :3

Something tells me she won't like that idea.

Her bust size is odd since she's under 4'9", as for the blood type

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_types_in_Japanese_culture

I'm surprised no one has asked you about blood type, I'm from the states and exchange students from China and Japan asked me about my blood type about 65% of the time.

It seems like the "Amazon Stalker points" have dropped a lot, or maybe my
memory fails me. In any case, as of this moment, for Volume 1 which goes
on sale on Jan 21, the "points" are 1447 for the Blu-ray and 293 for the DVD.

The points for the later volumes are comparable. Four volumes in all.

Amazon Stalker points fluctuate from minute to minute.

I wonder why viewers in Japan become less excited about this series after
seeing several episodes.

Well, even this episode while not standing out for its originality and deep storyline, has with its charge of moe over 9000! XD
Narration quiet, perhaps too many characters have appeared today, I'm getting seasick, but it is not a bad thing.
Drawings and animations are maintained at a sufficient level.
However, I welcome this change of direction in the narrative, without the characters seen above, and with a context a little bit different.

Ok, THAT was the best, cutest episode yet. Which is odd since nearly all the girls used really hadn't been seen yet. I guess that's an advantage of having such an enormous cast. Not every episode has to focus on a select group. I imagine doing it like this might help maintain freshness...guess I'll see as it continues. :)

That weird double hair color girl was horrible. Would have been better if she had highlights rather one side of the hair being all one color.

Too many girls imo. After episode 2, the show became meh. And in the end the girls only studied for like a couple hours at night.

The girls didn't really study so much after all, haha.

Hina's multicolored hair and Yukie's long braids are cute. :3

Those kittens were so adorable. I'm glad Kikyou, Azami, Erika, Nadeshiko, and Dahlia got a new home. =^_^=
