-Ep5 just when I was thinking it was time for them to jazz things up they added a new setting and an... antagonist?

-Ep6 The robot family was awesome. I'm super glad it got an insert song too because a gag like that is really best with one.

Ep 7 Ah, the great classroom tradition. I bet every culture in the world does this. Not as funny as the past 2 but still pretty decent. I love how the teacher notices noise Yokoi makes but not actions, like a freakin mailbox appearing in his classroom.

This series is definitely at its best when Yokoi gets emotionally invested in Seki-kun's antics.spoiler[ Robot family] was glorious

I really liked how the opening changed just slightly for episode 6.

After recording Yokoi saying "stop" spoiler[Seki-kun gives her the OK sign and smiles at her instead of the usual raised index finger and serious-looking facial expression.]

ep 8 - I have a hard time deciding if this is the best episode yet or not. A sequel, a beautiful tale, a cool twist, good music, bad English, spoiler[a victory for Yoroi, furthering their odd relationship, evidence that Seki isn't immune to the teacher]... geez. This one was like Tonari no Seki-kun: The Movie. Season Finale material right here, guys.

If I ever need some spoiler[clothing] to be fixed, I'll call Seki to fix it up for me with his spoiler[pro knitting skills.]

Somehow "kindness" is not a word I associate with spoiler[cactus].

Also, I just now noticed that in the OP Seki-kun has his storyboard taped to the shirt of the boy sitting in front of him. Very Happy

Hey hey hey Yokoi! Sure knitting and sewing aren't considered "manly" skills but when you're grown up and have to deal with a house and kids and a job you'll be thankful if a dude can fix his own shirt or make the kids some scarves since you'll be too busy to do it.

</assertion>

Anyway, I was actually expecting it to not be a cactus, but rather that he'd put some face on it or something, have the arms as ears and make some weird idol. Also... Cacti are kind? I suppose they provide a small water source so maybe that's what she meant.

Episode 11

For some reason my favorite thing in that was the tent. *pop*

As someone said on the video comments on CR, the episode was spoiler[UN-bearably] cute.

Holy crap, I just found out about this!

Yokoi has become far more accepting of Seki's antics and is even a willing participant at times. He has corrupted her . . .

The robots are her undoing. Smile

I thought this was the final episode, but apparently there's at least one more, titled "Lunch."

Am I misremembering or was there one ending in which he got her toes tapping too?
