So far, it seems like a fun show to watch after work with a beer hand. I don't think it'll be anything world shaking, but the first episode got some laughs out of me and that's enough to make it worthwhile to me.

EP 2

Oh yeah this show got a lot better with the addition of a tsundere imouto with a permanent scowl mark! I liked how the crowd was disappointed after they found out they were just siblings and not an immoral couple.

Episode 2

I wonder if I should be a little sad as it only took me watching the OP song this time to know thatspoiler[ the High School girl was his sister], seemed really obvious to me. The fact she acts like spoiler[Kirino] did not complicate it, I could see that she obviously spoiler[cared lots about the her brother] before making her spoiler[go dere].

My brother also came up with an interesting theory of how things tie together last week. He said that the fact the spoiler[Masabe is third generation, then it is very likely that it might have been his father that allowed Lucy's name to pass], meaning that spoiler[his attitude] now might be a berserk button if she figures that out.

I think the general magical girl thing was also a reference to spoiler[Doki Doki Precure].

Ep 4

When I first saw the pink bunny in the first episode, I thought Tokou was the boss since they didn't reveal her yet, But it turns out the bunny spoiler[is the boss lol.] I can't tell if that is Hasabe or his sister at the end. I mean he wouldn't sleep on the same bed as her. Her clothes are changed too so...

Episode 4

Lucy is so shy, and Hasabe acted like her spoiler[bumbling counted her as having not interest in him]. Although some of her actions seem to say otherwise, even though trying to figure it out came to a spoiler[stupid conclusion, with everyone rightfully calling her an idiot]. In my opinion there is something between those two, Hasabe keeps getting distracted by her while he is with her so that he can't entirely be his playboy self. Looks like he is just taking it slow since she is self-conscious about herself.

Must watch next episode to figure out what happened.

Ep 5

This episode was hilarious and the best one so far. The girl spoiler[is Yutaka's older sister.] Who would have thought that Ichimiya had a spoiler[girlfriend and it turns out to be Megumi.] I was really hoping the Touko vs spoiler[Megumi battle would happen this episode, but I guess we have to wait for it.]

I agree. And that girl is a true naughty piece of work -- I wish I could get my hands on her. Getting the better of Hasabe is no easy task and she makes it look effortless.

Lucy sure can be dense sometimes.

It's a shame Toko has some guilt issues. I hope she gets over it.

I am part way between hoping that we will get some stronger romance plots with relationships, realizing that this is a comedy and thus we probably won't get anything serious, and thinking that if done maturely could be very good.

I admit, I almost got fooled in the beginning there a bit from the latest episode....

Btw not entirely related but does anyone know the official airing date for this show now? For some reason, it keeps shifting between Thursday/Saturday. The other week also aired it on a Friday.

Episode 6.

Another pleasant episode, this time with more focus on Miyoshi.

I love how Miyoshi manages to depress the normally irrepressible Hasebe. Everything she says just gets her deeper into it without her intending to. It seems her character flaw is an inability to anticipate how someone would react to the words she says.

What I don't like is the stuffed animal. It just doesn't do it for me.

I didn't expect a spoiler[talking rabbit] in episode 6 tbh. But anyways, Chihaya sure is a tough woman ~_~

Episode 6

Miyoshi can be unexpectedly hurtful, she spoiler[totally depressed Hasabe], and that was probably one of the saddest ways to spoiler[turn a guy down when not meaning any harm]. Well their boss did it to her too, spoiler[calling her tall, broad shouldered, and flat]. Miyoshi is running into trouble with being pressured, and her family lied to her too.

I don't like the bunny thing in the show, it just blows the realistic grounding of the show. Although one of my favourite gags of the episode was how spoiler[Hasabe punched the rabbit just like his father].
