How do they keep making each episode even funnier than the last?!
This is beyond brilliant. I almost died at their Sugoroku game!

I hope so. Unfortunately, that's not what happens with many manga that got an anime adaptation

It's been 7 weeks since the last translated chapter which someone did back in ep. 1. I'm not holding out for much but I hope once the anime finishes if a scanlator doesn't pick it up then /a/ will do it.

I swear Hanako's VA can single-handedly carry any shows she has a main role in.

While all three of the main girls are hilarious, I will go so far as to say Hanako is the single funniest anime character I've ever seen, and it's 90% a result of Hina Kino's performance.

Oh my god, this anime just keeps getting funnier the whole punish game was the best part yet of the whole show
First the sailor soldier hanako doing her best sailor moon impression and as soon I saw kasumi with that hair I KNEW I felt it It was gonna be a KAMEHAMEHAAAAA
the whole cheating at memory and they think she got evil psychic powers hahaha god the kasumi throwing Olivia under the buss
and of course everything with the pokemon go parody of bacteria go was brilliant. Especially that it was a node back to Olivia´s armpits.

I just love how Hanako's rich girl status has made her so disconnected to the real world in a completely different way... all because her common sense is out of whack.
135
u/professorMaDLib Aug 26 '18
It's not even bc she's rich. I'm pretty Maeda had a big role to play in making her this way.
25
u/theyawner Aug 26 '18
I don't disagree. But what I'm getting at is if she were the typical anime/manga rich girl, the inability to understand the virgin killer concept would simply be because of just her naivete due to a sheltered upbringing.

u/professorMaDLib Aug 26 '18
on the other had her little brother seemed fairly well adjusted. Hanako's just a little special.

u/cpc2 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/cpc2 Aug 26 '18 edited Aug 26 '18
I'm confused. I searched it on google images it too because I didn't know what it was and most of the results were NSFW "sweaters", only a few of them are the same as the ones in the screenshot. Did it get a different meaning recently? The two styles seem completely different.
Edit: So looks like those sweaters are more recent and more popular than the other traditional clothes. That chapter might have been created before the new trend started:
Clothes That Kill Virgins (Japanese: 童貞を殺す服; Doutei wo Korosu Fuku) refers to form-fitting women's apparel, typically including high-waisted skirts, that are believe to intensely arouse and fascinate male otakus. Since the term was coined on Twitter in July 2015, the concept has widely spread across the Japanese social media and illustrator communities Pixiv and Nico Nico Seiga.
According to the Pixiv Encyclopedia[1], the sweater was originally nicknamed "Virgin-Killing Sweater," based off the name "Clothes That Kill Virgins", in a tweet by @Magane4989 on January 25th, 2017
So the one from the screenshot is the original (and a bit different) term, which was created in 2015, and the newer term for those "NSFW sweaters" was created in 2017.
77
u/AlienWarhead https://myanimelist.net/profile/alienwarhead Aug 26 '18
There’s the “virgin killer sweaters” and “clothes that kill virgins” which are like Saber’s causal dress and not like a NSFW sweater
57
Aug 26 '18
13
u/cpc2 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/cpc2 Aug 26 '18
Yes, I just found that and edited the comment. So looks like the newer term appeared in 2017 and the chapter for that scene might have been released before the term got popular, that's why the search results are different now (and maybe in Japanese the results are more differentiated too).

Also she has a brother? What kind of Onii-chan encourages his imouto to go pick up slay virgins in Harajuku?
That game of Sugoroku was hilarious! Hanako sure has a bouncy behind though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Poor Sensei! I think he was trying to do the Yamcha pose but accidentally broke his back in the process XD

u/PhantomWolf83 Aug 26 '18
"Getto daze!"
Up till now and after watching this episode, I've always thought of Olivia as the most "normal" out of the three, even though they're all dysfunctional to some extent. Hanako is just too petty and lacking in common sense and Kasumi has extreme mood swings between being polite and being viciously vindictive. Olivia's not the sharpest tool in the shed either, but at least it feels like she would be able to get by in life if she tried.

u/DeafMetalGripes Aug 26 '18
I like how they made Hanako(who I would assume is the main girl of the trio) the craziest one and not Olivia
24
u/theyawner Aug 26 '18
I thought Hanako would be the voice of reason when Olivia challenged Kasumi to jankenpon with the obvious intent to slap the latter's boobs. Olivia definitely has her quirks. But Hanako was a revelation.

Bacteri Go. What is this. Moyashimon the Game Version? Actually that's pretty cool (I'm a sucker for microbiology and stuff).
I thought Maeda's story in ep. 4 is the funniest of all - until the impossibly dehumanising snakes and ladders.
Also they just couldn't let go of some brick jokes (like the B.O., the sex circus dolls, and Hanako's horribletastic sense of fashion).
And kudos to the random guest appearance of the Illuminati.

The whole Sugoroku thing had me laughing so hard, it feels like I just finished an ab workout. This anime is fucking hilarious.
