I’ve sort have been drawn to this show. At first I was torn between watching it or not, mostly because the light novel’s plot sounded interesting but I disliked the character design for the anime.

But I got kind of drawn in more when I found that the series didn’t just have a single focus on the “guy protects girl” part. So I decided “damn my disliking of the designs” and now I think I’ll keep this show up.

So anyway it does have balanced focus so far. Murasaki’s antics in this episode are funny. I like how they don’t really exaggerate her isolated character too much. They keep it at a semi-realistic level.

I like the emphasis on the school relationships.

I very much agree with your thoughts on Ginko
Ginko’s personality annoys me. She can’t do anything else but call Shinkurou an idiot, act reserved, give him a freakin compliment, he has no family and is working a very dangerous job.

Not to say that Yuuno’s a better heroine character. Though I find her much more interesting character now that this episode has revealed that her family has connections (as you said)

And does anyone else get creeped out by Shinkurou’s arm? I keep on thinking “oh shi* VARIANTE”
But whoa he’s freakin strong.

“lol @ Yayoi was playing cell phone games to pass the time”
I know what you mean. Even though it was 5 seconds. She looked really cute when she said “yosh!”

“she still hasn’t come to terms with the fact that random people are not her servants.”
I don’t think was really heavy on that this episode. Though she did recall her servants when talking to the baseball guy.
When she was yelling at the punks, she was just being very idealistic.

Also:
Lol at misunderstandings
Lol at Murasaki’s track running antics
Lol at three way conversation

@Shirukii

AH~ gotta love what the animators did to this show… they changed quite a lot in the novel, and it’s all for the good! I love what I’m seeing so far, and I continue to be moved by this series as each episode go by… ^^

What kind of manners do they teach in the Kuhouin household, no matter how sheltered one may be, it’s a basic rule of etiquette that it’s rude to point at people, something which Murasaki tends to do a lot.

Like you said, she’s too frickin’ young to be a smartass loli. But the contrast between her imperious language and childlike behavior really makes this series worthwhile.

Omg, I really liked this episode and Murasaki learning the real world will never bore me. I knew something was up with Yuuno and Ginko is sort of annoying when she keeps repeating the same shit about Yuuno as well. But I guess she has her own reasons?
Man, I felt so bad when Murasaki was sticking up for the old lady and then Shinkurou had to get hit and all. Then Murasaki was saying all this stuff but Shinkurou was saying other stuff about society and all. I probably would’ve been like the other people who just ignored what those stupid kids were doing to the old lady. Then again, I’ve never witnessed it before in real life, so I dunnoes what I’d do. Nice to see that the grandma was happy in the end though.

@ Dop: Yea, that was awesome. Though Yotsuba and Murasaki are on completely different levels of cuteness.

@ Dando008: Shin’s pretty reckless with the girls, plus he has that kinky women at his apartment who’d probably jump on him given the green light.

@ Anon: I was going to gif it, but I got lazy and figured only other /a/nons would appreciate it anyways.

The little argument between Shin, Yuuno, and Murasaki was pretty intense and funny. Also, Ginko is always on him too. Poor Shin going though all that girl pressure lately :P. And yes, I do think Shin is being a bit more careless than usual and should really be more alert in being Murasaki’s bodyguard. I wouldn’t want to see her get hurt at all! I also find Yuuno pretty interesting now, she seems to know more than she lets on, which maybe another reason why Ginko has a lot of hate on her.

Murasaki running along with the ribbon on a stick approached Yotsuba levels of adorable.
