Botan doing waterfall like meditations in the shower like it was brought up earlier.
And so many hand waves to errors and laziness. The boobs bit got a laugh out of me as it felt so out of left field for this series.

Why do we have to wait another week for a new episode?

Episode 10
The Piccolo joke had me laughing, Seeing the young her do it looked funny, and repeating it like it was for the other colour thing. I like how it the route of friendship speeches but still said they were kind of useless and all her fault anyway.
Wait a minute, thinking about the extra member thing, I remember them getting a table of 6 despite there only being five of them, and only seeing 5. Watching that scene again shows that we indeed saw 6 pairs of legs only 5 people. Spooky! I am guessing it is the girl they run past in the OP.

I do wonder who that mysterious teen is.
Loved this episode.
Them essentially having to forfeit because of Karin not racing was genius.
Never let Botan near a football.
I guess sparkly nails really add to one's apperance/personality.

Episode 11
They did it again.
It did not come up in the forums, but earlier in the series they tried to convince us that episode 4 was actually episode 3. It is somewhat hard to do when you can see the episode number, but saying it so many times and actually trying talking about things they should do for that episode kind of starts to convince you. What they did now was trying to tell us this was the last episode; we got a heart-warming tale of how Botan and Sakura became friends and started the club, with talks about how they should end. Only revealing at the last minute that there is another episode because Karin knew the entire time. I don't think I have seen a show go that far before.
As for the rest, I like how their student president felt like a character from Medaka Box, due to shounen like powers used for over the ridiculous school reasons, with various nicknames. The talk of custom uniforms also reminded me of it. And the end actually decided to allow Sakura to roll a bowling ball down the hallway.
And the talk of ending at a school festival was a K-ON reference, pretty clear with how they attempted a band, although I did not know that a bear could be an instrument.

Episode 12 (finale)
This is officially the last episode of the summer season. This episode was just a barrage of jokes and skits, and it was actually pretty entertaining, they were able to surprise me with a good deal of the punch lines. The fast pace and changing scenarios I think actually worked better than the rest of the series did. They threw in a 24 ringtone during the countdown. Also, did Claire's eyes keep switching into yandere mode? And how exactly can she go to the bathroom for Karin. Also the toilet humour, and comparing centipedes to a fetes.
It might have been largely a lacklustre series, but it actually seemed to improve as it went on, throw out a few curveballs, and the end showed its strength. I rate it Good, worth seeing. The sort of thing you watch if just want some jokes and perhaps a few surprises.
Gotta bring up another joke; bring back the student president just to introduce someone else, build up his own power and then have it called useless. Introducing more characters would have probably improved the series overall.
