That said, Mom popping out of the washing machine killed me.

I liked the end where the breaker had a bandage on it.

Does Momoka just carry her gun around wherever she goes because surely that must be breaking some laws.

You say that like randomly clubbing someone into unconsciousness at an arcade doesn't break any laws.

Glad this was a three-parter, if only because ending it on a bulimia joke would be pretty gross. I can't decide whether I like Momoka trying to deport Platy or the gunfight with her mom more. Here's hoping she shows up in later survival games.

I really like this format, it just throws as many jokes as it can and then jumps off to the next premise when it runs out of steam instead of becoming a terrible SoL show.

Mommoka might even be better than Momoka. This show is so good even though it has absolutely no right to be. The only disappointment in this episode was that neither Momoka nor Mommoka did some Revolver Ocelot shots.

Also, ignoring the bulimia bit that kind of ruins it, the rest of the club was giving actually sound diet advice.

This was already a great scene, and then Momoka adds that kick in the end for no drat reason and it becomes The Best scene.

The best way to lose weight apparently: Starvation diets and bulimia.

This is really funny, except for that teacher. Please tell me she won't be featured a lot. I can't stand that kind of obnoxiously dumb character. It would be slightly more tolerable (rating merely bad instead of terrible) if her idiocy wasn't completely predictable too.

This is one of two anime this season that has made me laugh out loud more than once. I totally lost it when she bludgeoned the fat gamer in the arcade with her other pistol.

She's by far one of the best protagonists yet. What I love about this "gun toting anime" is they don't really focus on the drama of the team vs team stuff. It's just pure imaginary carnage. The guns are props for complete and total fun nonsense.

The mom was tremendous. Her loading her six shooter from her apron was priceless.

I'm not really a fan of episodes just being a bunch of completely disjointed short stories that could've been put in a random order and no one would have noticed. :(

It's still funny though. The toilet issue was the best part.

You know for as extremely evil as Momoka is, at least she didn't kill six people in cold blood like Urara did!

I mean, I'm sure she would if given the chance, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt for argument's sake.

Oh right and this episode owned. The entire last segment was hilarious.

And let's not forget that she killed six people in cold blood because she didn't want everyone to know that she'd pooped.

I love how every episode has had a completely gratuitous bath scene near the end.

Also, I'm calling that the narrator is actually Platy.

It's worth considering that Momoka's written in a more western style of comic character, where instead of acting as the straight man to the side characters, her personality flaws are what drives the plot.

They're different in most ways, but some of the humour sorta reminds me of Gintama.

I watched the first 3 episodes yesterday on a sitting and I didn't know these were the same guys that did Love Lab till I saw people fainting. Their visual joke of having people with a silly smile while fainted never gets old :allears:

This series is solid gold so far, I just love the humor in it.

Yes and it was produced by the still convulsing corpse of Gainax. No one was happy with it.

Not sure what you mean. The anime has followed the manga pretty closely so far.

Someone said earlier that the actual manga hewed closer to the shoujo-ey cliches that the show seems to be mocking. Looks like that might not be entirely accurate though.
