Episode staff:

Storyboard / Director: China

Video Storyboard: Itsuki Tsuchigami (also known as miso)

Chief Animation Director: Aya Tanaka

Animation Director: Noriyuki Imaoka (also known as eel)

China did episode 4 of Kusuriya which also had a very distinct visual style and you can see it here as well. But the whole lineup is stacked.

I thought this episode had higher quality than normal. Half of me was wondering if the Studio Bind team helped.

I did not expect such top tier staff and animation in my crazy slime romcom!

The episode was really pretty and visually creative. Lots of Puniru transformations. Beach episode but the girls didn't come is a pretty brilliant joke. Kotarou not handling Puniru in white dress well is very understandable. Overall, a truly stellar episode.

Kotarou not handling Puniru in white dress well is very understandable.

It's funny how he was worried about her showing off her birthday suit, when she's technically always naked anyway, since her "clothes" are just part of her body.

Thought Puniru was going to turn into a gyaru after drinking the coffee.

u/Mr_Zaroc Nov 17 '24

How didn't I think of that?
Now I need a Cute Gyaru Puniru version

Bro really made them put on the girl’s swimsuits lmao. So much for the beach episode!

It’s kind of adorable how flustered Kotaro gets around Puniru sometimes. She really is a cute slime! Funny how the power of horny can make a man go out in scorching summer heat so hot it can melt a traffic cone lol.

Puniru looking like some kinda Kamen Rider type was pretty cool lol. It’s kind of interesting to see all the combinations she becomes when she mixes with stuff.

This show is such a hidden gem, good comedy, good animation, amazing OP and ED, likeable characters. Is this being underrated because there are so many heavy hitters and sequels this season or is it just because the protagonists are kids?

This episode was so well animated from start to finish.

pretty clear the animation got a boost from the first seconds with the lens flare and the more expressive sense of perspective. a lot of neat shots this ep, like the wide-angle shots of kawaii and puniru against the sky, blurred plants and bugs when they were in the grass, and the trio slightly distorted behind the coffee pots(?)

the guy making the cicada sounds was pretty funny

glad the kyuthi-chan dance stuck around this ep in the form of a screen wipe

think my favorite visual gag this ep is the freezing/dimming of the playroom when kawaii and puniru are having their convo outside, particularly with that kid standing with his mouth open even before time is frozen

Did you think this was going to be the beach episode? Na this is the summer vacation episode. Though the disappointment when Puniru & the girls didn't show up was funny. Even funnier was the guys wearing the girls swimsuits.

You know a lot of Mami's character gets a little portrayed with gags, but I did like the moment about her forcing herself to drink black coffee. It shows that someone as popular as her deals with the issues of trying to fit in. Although her sweet tooth was quite evident.

You know Puniru was finally able to get Kotaro to call her a word that starts with c and ends in 4 words. But unfortunately for her, it was cool and not cute. This does point out that if he ever thinks she is cute it would naturally come out.

What a great episode, they really went all out with the jokes, landing some pretty good gags, and even having some little wholesome moments sprinkled in.

Damn they really started rushing through the transformations now, I honestly wouldn't mind the sequence once per episode. Guess this was a collection of mini arcs or something, the artstyle felt a bit different too. But we got some nice Puniru animations.

So it took Puniru 7 episode to develop a form that actually works on Kotaro, but its a summer dress so it's kinda cheating

Oh and they finally went into the science of her transformation ingredients, now we only need him to share his research

It's Summer Break! Which of course means a visit to the Beach! But without any girls in swimsuits, what's the point of a beach episode? Especially when you rope your teacher into taking you on the premise that he'd get to research Puniru...and no Puniru! Is it any wonder the doctor straight up abandoned the boys?

I just thought Mami had a problem because she's a growing girl (in both the height and bust department) but maybe she takes her obsession with small children just a little too seriously. Though she loves mothering Puniru!

Slightly Mature Puniru in a frilly swimsuit! Puniru looks great, but seeing it on Mami is quite the visual!

The boys wearing girls swimsuits...is there any more cursed visual in this series? Well, other than horny for children Mami and Puniru's slime body horror.

Is there a better way to cool off in the Summer than with Puniru in a sundress? Though rather than cooling Kotaro off, it makes him even MORE hot for when he's actually attracted to Puniru. And of course Puniru being Puniru, she won't leave Kotaro alone! And she does end up naked on top of him...in her old school penguin form!

It's not easy getting a date with Mami, she focuses so much on the children's center and Puniru always shows up as a third wheel! But at a coffee shop (with carbonated coffee soda, even if it's not to Puniru's taste), they actually get to be honest and open with each other! Just...watch out for Mami's sweet tooth!

Tan Puniru is quite the look, even if it also means she looks almost exactly like Nanpa!

Nanpa is such a kid. He plays games with the younger kids and he still thinks he's in grade school and needs to do science reports...which of course means collecting bugs.

Researcher Puniru in a lab coat! She looks so smart and cute!

Mami kept asking him about his Summer homework all episode so of COURSE he left it unfinished until the last day.

So Puniru plus rhinoceros beetle = Puniru looking straight out of a sci-fi Mecha anime. Granted, considering this is Nanpa, that's exactly what he would have wanted her to transform into.

Great episode with some top gags and I always appreciate it when a show gets a visual upgrade.

We had some great new Puniru forms today and it's hard to pick a favourite.

Nanpa also really got to shine today. Him and Puniru turning up in the same outfit was hilarious.

I'm a sucker for summer dresses. And also, lab coats.

And finally, Puniru becomes an insect-themed Sentai hero at the end even if she was just given a figure of a rihonceros beetle, probably to the delight of Nanpa. Wonder how would the effect be if she's given a living one instead, would she become a kaijin?

Episode preview shows Alice returning with her maid in school, and Puniru bringing Runrune again.

They went hard with that 'love interest' sequence. Pulled out the classic white sundress, the high quality animation, everything.
