Sue continues to be the best <3

Seems like lots of fun will occur nxt ep. And the girl Hato was talking about is there too. Hmmm seems interesting as the look Hato usually dresses up with is how that girl looks like.

Lol'd at the Matsuraida cosplay XD

What was happening at the end. There was way too many new characters. I just wanted to see Kasukabe. There was some girl who looked like her, was that her younger sister that didn't appear in the first 2 seasons?
Then the girl at the end looked like how Hato usually cross dresses.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

lol~ @ the beginning. Hato beginning to briefly talk about his love story, who seems to say his drawing is influenced by someone. Ogiue analizes about it differently. Everyone's old friends! lol @ Sue! That "someone" @ the end!

lol @ UNIQUA!!

Finally "that" story is revealing.

Sue needs an original OVA all about herself, she is a big mystery, we do not know her age (is she a legal loli? a genius loli? an alien?), what is she studying at said university (we do not for sure is she is enrolled at all), where she lives (does she really sleeps all the time at Ogiue's house?), is she rich or does she does a part time job we do not know about? Where does she studies martial arts? or is she a street brawler? You can fill 30 minutes of Sue awesomeness and cuteness and sell more discs that Hato will ever do!!

So many new characters!! It sounds a lot of fun. And we even have Noto Mariko voicing the senpai whom Hata is infatuated with !!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Great episode. And my guess is that girl at the end is the one Hato has a crush on.
Also, I'm glad they're acknowledging Gintama :)

For the umpteenth time, this TV series manages to surprise me positively, leaving me also puzzled by events and by the amount of characters placed in the field and they never thought they would have made their entry into the plot.
Narrative that at first it appeared as an approach similar to the previous episode, and then radically change the face; excellent choice.
But the amazing thing is that after all this abundance of novelty, there's a twist to seal the unit.
Story in which almost all the characters involved in the events, one aspect that I really appreciated.
Drawings and animations great, can not wait to follow the next episode.

I didn't notice it until I read the manga, but Hato's alias Takeya Mikako is in fact a composite of Yoshi(take) Ri(ka) and (Ya)jima (Mi)rei, with the obligatory -ko suffix. That felt strangely heartwarming to me, like how both of them had already implicitly accepted Hato as "one of them" to the extent of using their own names to create an alias for him.

We didn't get to see Kuchiki's cosplay because he didn't turn around, but I'm like 90% sure he was Katakuriko Matsudaira

Look at Sasahara, being a strong top.

Poor Rika, she just wants to see some porn. Does no one appreciate or understand her plight?

I dunno which of Hato's old friends has weirder eyes.

God dammit, Hato is basing his cross-dressing off the girl he liked? Bruh.
