I'm actually annoyed by this, it's only 2-3 minutes a pop but they still mange to waste so much time by telling the same joke every other week. If they just dropped the "they think he's a pedophile" joke it would be fine. Still, it's such a tame show it makes Morita-san seem dynamic.

I'm surprisingly happy about this. The show is only 3 minutes long but it keeps me interested so I'm glad it's getting a second season. Laughing

It's basically the only new anime that comes out on Wednesday that I watch, so I don't mind it.

Yeah, it seems like every episode ends with him getting arrested because it looks like an pedophile trying to pick up Hina-chan. The joke got old after the second episode. So hopefully there's less of that the second season(since it happens again in the teaser).

Looks like there will more of the well-endowed teacher featured next season too compared to this season.

I'm amazamed that this is happening.

Like, nonone appeared to give the slightest shit about this show. Between its annoucement and now, I can't remember ONE person even mentioning this show. No one cared about it. Yet it's getting a second season. Weird.

I agree the pedo thing is repetitive, yet it cracks me up every time. Especially last week, when Atsushi was begging Hina-chan to let him have a look. Laughing It's a cute 3-minutes out of my week and I'll happily watch a second season.

That's a running gag. The joke is that it is repetitive.

That little running gag made me drop the series partway through the second episode(it was just too painful to keep going), but I'm not terribly surprised there's going to be a second season.

if the show was stretched to at least 10 minute episodes they could make far more interesting scenario's occur. let the characters develop a bit as they try with the neighbor being a lazy bum and the sisters friend falling for her brother...etc...

When authors use characters with severe, sometimes life-threatening hormonal/genetic disorders to make "fun show" about it, it is always questionable. So I could not even start watching this series.

I don't think the show ever explains why the little kid looks like a perfectly normal teenage guy (or early 20s?) or why his teenage sister looks like a perfectly normal little kid. I assumed it was just a case of "anime magic" so I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that some life-threatening hormonal/genetic disorder is being used to make a "fun show."

The real-world explanation for the kid's condition would be precocious puberty(the sort of thing that makes it possible for a five year old girl to give birth), which is a serious medical condition(that's trivially dealt with in industrialized countries). Of course, the mangaka almost certainly didn't think of it(if he even knew of it) and simply inverted the '17 year old loli' thing.
