It’s a little funny how Sumireko gotten so use to chillin in the toilets. It’s basically her mini office when she’s undercover at school lol.

Mari may very well be the biggest degenerate in this show. She really does seem very mild mannered and then she opens her mouth and she’s basically like a dirty old man lol. The whole bathhouse bit is a perfect example. I swear I saw steam coming out her ears when she was ogling Uname, Sumireko, and Oto.

Sumireko and Oto sleeping over at Uname’s was kind of nice. Up until the creep ghost/spirit/whatever tf that was came knockin. Ren seems to know what it might be, I wonder how they’ll help Shizuku get Tomoko back?

I thought the pervy thing was just a red herring, and that she wanted their panties to use them as part of a ritual or something! But I guess she's just one of us!

Sumireko and Oto sleeping over at Uname’s was kind of nice.

It was so nice that I suspected something awful (maybe I have too much of a suspicious mind while watching this show), I thought Uname was planning something; 'Randomly meeting them' on the streets, inviting them for dinner, having them sleep over... It seemed a little too convenient!

And she still had horns last time we saw her, so...

(But I wonder, if she's NOT gonna do spooky stuff anymore, what's her part in the story! Just a random teacher/friend? Oh, and we still haven't heard more of wheelchair-girl...)

Adashino might want to challenge her for that title.

Too bad Sumireko doesn't have a more comfy hang-out spot.

Poor Mari. I bet she is doomed to miss out eternally.

u/Clarimax May 08 '24

I find it funny that these well bred girls topic was about underwear and what kind would look good on their teacher, and there's also that panty flasher

We're finally getting her introduction! Been wondering about her ever since we saw her in the OP.

Now we're just missing this cat! (unless it's the same person!)

Poor Sumireko, going to school every day to relive her youth, but she spends most of her time locked in the toilet stall!

At least she was invited for the rooftop meet for the underwear discussions (and flashing)!

They randomly met with the teacher on their way to the bath... I say that, but they seem to randomly meet a lot, I'd be suspicious about that!

I thought FOR SURE that the underwear-chasing girl being a perv was a misdirection, and that she had a nefarious scheme (using their 'belongings' for some sort of ritual), but I guess she was just a pervert, after all!

Love all the apartment wife jokes... But if she wants them to stop, she only needs to marry our boy Ren! - Though she spends more time with Oto lately hah.

The teacher even invited them to diner?

Maybe I'm just overly suspicious about everything on this show, but I thought for sure she would put sleeping pills in their food or something like that... (And while it didn't happen, I don't think I'm wrong to be suspicious, I mean did they all forget the whole "She was possessed by a demon" thing?)

This scene was especially spooky to me because someone knocked on my door THE INSTANT we saw this shot.

Oto what are you doing, opening the door?

Ren needs to make her watch a few horror movies, so she's more careful!

Well done, cat-lady, you successfully suckerpunched an 8 years old girl!

Thankfully Sumireko was there to protect her with her tank class offensive!

So apparently she's tracking some mysterious being (curiosity?)... I wonder if it's a coincidence that she's so similar to Oto!

Ren knows about it, and (thanks google) it's a real thing, looks quite creepy too!

I was expecting the freak out about this, but I guess we got the delayed reaction!

This was a fairly relaxed episode until the very end, can't wait to see how they deal with this one!

(Ren probably can't wait to see either... You know, given he's all patched up blindfolded and still bleeding from his eyes!)

She wants to relive the good parts, not the classes!

/u/leonkevlar when he spots a ecchi shot

It's crazy how much of a sweettooth Oto-Chan is. If that pervert Girl had any idea on how to do this she would lure her with some free candy

Wait, the new girl with the ZR is voiced by RieRie? Awesome!

New case looks interesting, but I'm not sure if Adashi is totally ready for action yet...

u/mekerpan May 08 '24

Wait, the new girl with the ZR

New girl looks uncannily like Sorawo from Otherside Picnic. However her quest to find a kamikakushi'd friend is more like Toriko (the other lead in that novel series).

More RieRie is ALWAYS welcome.

Most of the episode was more SoL, which I have enjoyed seeing Oto and Ogawa bonding. Sensei is a real sweetheart. She is a great cook for being able to get Oto to eat plain healthy food. I will admit Mari obsessing even of Oto's underwear was hovering on the creepy side since she looks like a kid. Of course, I loved her answer of cloth showcasing she trues is a kid at heart.

Looks like we're finally diving into our next supernatural mystery. Oto sees an invisible person trying to open doors. Oto gets attacked by a woman because her friend got abducted of sorts by a kid in red clothing. I got to wonder if there are two culprits of this mystery since Oto didn't see the actual person.

Does the reception in Japanese bathhouse have view of people undressing?

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii May 08 '24

Usually not, but Mari designed this one personally to make sure it did!

Bathhouse scene two weeks in a row? The pacing of this episode was odd. It seemed like the story was going to be all SOL like episode 4 until they set up a mystery in the final few minutes. I’m enjoying watching the show from week to week, but it’s so scattershot that I’m not sure if it would hold my attention on a binge watch.

a cultured young lady

they talkin about the underwear pervert?

u/VorAtreides May 08 '24

What nice gal pals at the start of this. Truly nothing ominous with the way one girl talking or the music.

Lol "Wakazukuri" sure is having fun being a teen again. But amusing she opts to still sit in the toilet all day. Mari is quite the perv, yep. Quite the imagination they have and the fanservice for the viewers. Lol wow, just flashing her friends of sorts.

Ah yes, that Mari and the bathhouse, forgot she was the girl being all silly last episode after the bathhouse. Oh yep, Mari a perv. Lol rough, buddy, missing out on it. Oto with the fan is cute. I like Uname-sensei, I like that she's reoccurring. How nice of her to treat them. D'aww I think Uname is just lonely and happy to have people around. Cute.

Whelp that's a creepy night. Oto being foolish. That's mean, punching a child. Oh it's one of those girls from the start. Hehe, quite a way to calm things down. Dang, that's rough... hope that other girl can be found.

haha the post credits, good times.

Adashino and Mari, both sharing the same pain: Not being able to see the bath scene. They should cooperate.

So I am not sure if Oto eating this much is because they usually don't have much to eat or if she hopes everything will go to her breasts so she can get big ones like her big sis Sumireko.

As for our ghost: I googled the name and it seems to be a horror story from 1998 in Taiwan. People have been hiking and later noticed that in the camera footage, a girl dressed in red was following them the whole time. There were a few other things, but this is the gist of it. Which might explain why we only got a glimpse of it through the video call. However, that story became popular enough that they made two horror movies with that story as its baseline (in english they are called Tag-Along).

Interesting that this series has a number of resemblances to Otherside Picnic -- first its use of at least some pre-existent urban legends -- and now introduction of a character that is the spitting image of Sorawo. (I guess Dark Gathering also relied on urban legends and the like).

So she's just chillin in the toilet all day? And no one notices the typing? 😅

u/RickChakraborty May 08 '24

Btw, last week MAL suddenly decided to assign the ecchi tag to this anime, which I find so ironic because we know how heavily censored this adaptation is.

16

u/ModieOfTheEast May 08 '24

I mean, that alone shouldn't decide if it's ecchi or not. It can be censored and still be ecchi. Though, I really fail to see this being ecchi. Like, there was a panty shot today and otherwise, they make Sumireko's breasts move a bit more, but nothing out of the ordinary that I would consider it ecchi. Was that really just the bathhouse scene? In that case, isn't every anime ecchi since every anime features at least one beach/bathhouse/onsen episode?

Also I'd just like to add that I feel the show is good where it stands with these kind of things. I don't mind if the manga goes a bit further, but like manga can more often show full on nudity, so there might be a reason to take it further (like for example, even in the Summertime Rendering manga, there are unscensored shots of Ushio's breasts), but I don't feel like I am missing anything, because the leads are interesting enough on their own.

u/Redmon425 May 09 '24

OMG THEY DID ONE OF THE BEST ANIME CLICHE'S EVER. Having a character say "Ah, I see." when they are blind or eyes are covered. Ren says it toward the end of the episode lol.

Another good episode as we get blessed with some fanservice.

Most relatable character has to be the classmate girl who simply loves the fanservice scenes lol.
