| orz... That would be all. |
 My kingdom for a bottle of plum juice! |
| I'm getting used to the art. This episode was better than the first one, but mainly because of Chiaki and her scenes. Next episode looks like more fanservice. |

| It was alright, I didn't like the gang leader joke (which took up most of the episode) but that is because I didn't like the original segment of that in the first series. Chiaki's parts were alot more funny and enjoyable. It seems that this director really loves Kana (see first episode, ED, and the quick bathroom shot) which is a little annoying. I really don't notice the animation difference anymore. Oh and hurray for Hosaka getting a minute of screen time. |

| Hm .. wasn't this story about Haruka as a gang leader, covered in the first season? :( and they missed the joke about Haruka defeating the group of guys not with fists .. but with rejections :P I still can't stand Fujioka's platinum hair .. and yes .. a Hosaka second *droolz* |
 |
| Still not very funny. And they're doing the faces wrong. D: |
 |
| Meh. I agree w/ kasumisama. It was better than the first episode, but still not that funny, right? Esp since they were covering the bancho stuff again, didn't the not as funny seem more apparent? |
  |
| This series so far seems to be lacking the all-around charm that the first season had It'll pick up soon, hopefully. That all being said, this episode was better than I expected it to be. |
| OMG BLACK PEOPLE INVADE THE SCHOOLS! |
  |
| They even teach. |

| a pretty good episode. Glad to see Hosaka got some time in. Enjoyed the banchou bit. I didn't like black background characters though. |

XD Eh, this episode didn't really make me laugh because like someone else said, it was about banchou and I already thought it was a meh topic back in first season. Ah well. First season had its ups and downs for me too so I'm not too worried. xo_cl2 said: I still can't stand Fujioka's platinum hair Qft and is it just me or is Chiaki's half blonde, half brunette hair really...strange? |
     |
| The return of the Banchou :D and also Hosaka(!) Haha, great episode |
| Wow, the black faces on everyone just screamed low budget. And the ED animation has Kana walking like a chicken. And this banchou stuff was funnier the first time. Now that I'm done whining, I liked this episode better than the first one, which just seemed boring. The pacing was better, and Hosaka is almost guaranteed win. |

| Didn't they use the banchou topic in season one already? Still hilarious. The part Chiaki comparing the hamster and Kana was awesome, i laughed so hard XD. Woot, the all-mighty-sweaty-queer boy Hosaka 's back! Really cant stop giggling about seeing that scene. 'Now how can i make myself subordinate of Minami Haruka?' rofl Sweetness. The spirit of season 1 's back o/ |
 |
| My impression changed big time with this episode aired. As the setting is back to school, all the hilarious moments are back. The regular slice of life humor atmosphere returned and less fanservice as usual. I might also end up liking the art style and animation here better. The girls just look silly/cute X3 that said... okawari! |
 |
| Fuck yeah, Hosaka! That's all left to say |
     |
| Haha yeah the best part had to be the short inserted scene of Hosaka:D Anyways I liked this episode better than the first one and canit wait to see the next episode^^, |

me said: Trineas said: Fuck yeah, Hosaka! qft. i still dont like okawari. Other than the few seconds of Hosaka time, I found this episode very 'meh'. |

what_ever said: I hate this Banchou thing. I didnt like it in the first series, and i still dont like it in okawari. I don't think many people did either. The joke is probably more appealing to Japaneses people but still there really wasn't much comedy at all in this ep or the one from the first series. To be honest I'm confused with why they're using content from the first series....shouldn't they be doing something completely different? I had originally thought this was going to take place exactly after the last ep in the first series (which it kind of did in episode one) but now it seems like its not. I honestly hope this series isn't going to just be a redone version of the first. If that's their goal, then they're going to fail miserably. |

| If anyone was curious about the ED and Kana's animation for it, it's the same as her animation in the OP. =P That's basically how she's stomping/walking down the railroad. XD |
| Seems like a mix of a sequel and an alternate telling. I wish they would have considered being more consistant with Minami-ke. It's not as good, and is annoying to watch, but still worth it I suppose. |
| Better than the first ep, at least. ;P |
 |
| Honestly I'm watching it without many expectations. Like the first season said. Don't expect too much. =\ |
| I dunno about you guys, but I'm finding Okawari kind of boring right now... o___o; I mean, it's not as funny as the first season. At all. |
| Because your expectations are too high. |
| Lol, since the first season was great, of course the expectations are high. |

| this episode was completly meh for me. Animation flaws were much more obvious than the first ep. Looks like it will be going down from here on (from what i've heard of aswell). |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Changing animation for the second season now just confuses me as to who's who at times, and the black-faced extras are very weird/eerie. Story looks like it took a hit too, anyone know if this is filler rather than adaptation? Only good thing now is the stripping dude who has a thing for Haruka. Also: what's with people saying 'dont have expectations' and 'dont compare to the 1st season'. What kind of silly thinking is this? This is the second season of a funny anime, its a natural response of viewers to expect the quality to be maintained in context of what came before it. So far, Okawari is definitely lacking. If this is filler, then it all makes sense. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| hosaka really made this episode awesome. also kana being on the same level as a hamster made me laugh i agree that its somehow lacking the charm of the first season, but this episode was much better than the first. |
katsup said: hosaka really made this episode awesome. Every anime should have Hosaka in it to make it awesome. Even Grave of the Fireflies. |

| At least Hosaka is still the same. A liked this episode a little more with the familiar school settings. |
| Ah Kana, she never tends to stop in the comedy! |
 |
| Hosaka better be in every episode from now on. I really cant get enough of that guy. He's the main reason Im watching the sequels. |
  |
| "Is there a way to eat breakfast in under three minutes?" Kana never fails to make me laugh. The shading of the random students is wierd and seems a little cheap, but the comedy is still there. |

| damn bor!ng! luckily hosaka saved me from dropping the series! whew... |
| This episode does not have the same feeling the first season had. It was OK but I did not enjoy it that much. |
| Decent episode. The beginning was the best when Chiaki was comparing Kana to an animal. I demand more Hosaka! |
 |
| Hosaka is the same madman as he was in the first season. |
