----------------------------------------
This episode started really good, they dealt hilariously with Maki's serious topic ^^
Kana vs. Chiaki is what Minamike used to be, Natsuki got some deja-vu nosebleeding as well.
The animation quality is as usual, some weird faces again.. but if the laughs are that good, I don't complain.. can really hope the last episode won't disappoint then.

Sankaku Complex: the very last picture is definitely creepy o.o

Usually I'm bad with noticing the quality of stuff like this, but this time it really stood out:

It was kind of distracting throughout the episode..

Some scenes are really well done, but some are horrible, like on picture above. Series have really low budget if they can't do even one episode without crappy scenes.

That was.. interesting. Great humor, but I had to give it a 4/5. Would have been higher if the quality wasn't so shaky in some of the scenes.

This episode's direction was awful, the first part was like an OOC fest with all that giggling.
Let's hope they don't screw up next episode, since it's the last one.

I admit that I too am having some issues with the anime, but I still feel it manges to capture the overall Minami-Ke charm.

Lol'd at Chiaki's "ahreh?!" or how to romanjizize it when she cut through the skirt that led to a cute hug. Lucky Natsuki was around to see the finished product. Kana trying to be a big sis was cool, but sucks that the animation halfway through made their eyes all googly. Also they make sleeping on hard floors look comfortable as hell.

I don't even consider the animation quality anymore in my scores for this show. It's been a 50-50 good vs bad quality each time,so it isn't even worth mentioning anymore.

As for the comedic value, the first part was brilliant. Loved the drawing on the face bit and how they were in pain from laughing. I could completely relate to that. The second half of the episode... I wanted to skip several times. It was beyond boring.

I actually thought the animation looked much better in the first half when compared to the entire series up to now. It just seemed slightly smoother and that they used shading techniques more. Then the second half blew again.

As for content, I liked the whole episode overall; I at least chuckled in all the segments. Though I did find it uncharacteristic how Hosaka just stood in the hallway with a meek posture. He needs more bravado.

Decent episode again. Lots of lulz moments, Kana-chan was wondrously evil in the first part. Also the difference of animation quality between the very nice first part and the horrible second part was fairly obvious. No Touma tho, but that doesn't matter since we had a lot of her in the previous episodes. Also when I saw that thread hanging in the classroom I just knew Maki was going to pull it and expose Haruka to Natsuki, that was really funny!

Also hilarious was when you saw the passing of the days and everyday you saw Hosaka standing in the hallway with a different bento ^_^

It appears that Chiaki is misunderstanding Kana's goodwill, thinking that she has a motive for suddenly treating her so nicely..

Animation sucked... big time. I know the animation has always been iffy since the series started, but this episode just takes the cake.

Oh well, it was mildly funny when Chiaki was actually scared of Kana for a moment at the end.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Ehh.. Once again, there's not many good things I can say about this Minami-ke episode. When Maki asked Kana to watch her while she slept. I knew that it was cause someone drew on her face and that it would happen again. Does she just never look at herself in the mirror? Then, when Haruka's skirt was cut, I knew it was going to fall. So annoyingly predictable.

The only highlight was the day-to-day scenes with Hosaka just staring at Haruka with that bento.

Great episode, but yeah, I noticed the terrible animation. And when I notice, you know that it's bad.

Still, it wasn't nearly bad enough to take away from this awesome episode. Plenty of great moments - the part where Kana and Chiaki spontaneously hug was one of the most adorable moments of any season.

So yeah, it's really not bad at all. If they had more than 2 dollars to do the animation, it would probably be my favorite out of the three seasons.

And I wish Natsuki accidentially made that "evil smile" in falling-skirt scene.

it would be EPIC WIN!

I agree, does anyone get the afterward gag? I watched the scene with two different subbers, and both dont really portray it clearly. You can tell theres some weird hidden message going on (that makes Chiaki's friend blush) but I just cant put my finger on it.

The same goes for me. I especially though that it was rubbish when they just had Hosaka standing there in the hall with the bento box (funny scene don't get me wrong). I mean, that scene should have been easy to make right? As he's just standing there. But he just looks really distorted. It kinda ruined it for me, did like seeing him day-to-day. But frankly, his lack of air time in the last few episodes has kinda turned me off from Minami~ke. Just because I feel like he kept saving the episodes you know? I mean, I got a little bored of the Minami girls, so Maki and Touma Fujioka and hell even that Uchida girl were kind of nice dynamics. And then they got the Minami bros more involved. And that kinda worked, but Hosaka, he's just a genius character. Even more Hayami~sempai would've been more appreciated :((.

But yes, back to the original quotation part, if I've noticed certain animation shots were pretty terrible, then it must be pretty bad. :(

Some of the first half looked pretty good anyway! Budget cut maybe?

It was an ok episode. The worries about when Maki sleeps were pretty funny. It especially came together when they were glancing through Atsuko's old photos and Kana saw the picture of Maki with the whiskers drawn on then too. xD. As someone else said, doesn't she look in the mirror? Haha. Maybe she should've been the Banchou.

Ending episode next.

Unfortunately this series has had some animation problems, but as you say it makes up for it in other areas! and that hug was very unexpected from ones who argue so much, but it really shows that they do care for each other despite their constant bickering

There was a big contrast in the animation quality. In the beginning it was awesome, like the animators put on their big boy pants, and then it became more shit than it usually it. But the episode was good, Nasuki got a very envied nosebleed.

I'd like to say they improved quality from the okawari's robotty dead eyes and shitty animation but this is not even funny. It's just creepy, and all the mistakes over all season.

The first part of the episode had better animation imo, although completely different from the usual.
Not only that, but the first part felt like the first season when it comes to comedy. I laughed a lot in the first part. Hosaka just appearing there every time was really funny but Natsuki pushing Maki like that was even better. The second part was meh-meh.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I don't like how they jump from storyline to storyline. Overall, this whole season is a bit boring. The first season remains superior.
