The corresponding verb forms in many Slavic languages also differ in just one letter, but I guess few people have a handwriting bad enough to make i hard to distinguish from u, or и from у But yeah, a suicide note which just says "(I'll) die" would be pretty ambiguous even without the handwriting issue, so it's stretching believability for the sake of comedy either way.

Close. It's "Just tell me!"
Episode 5
Sometimes this series has a wicked edge to it that cuts to the bone.

I was kind of hoping that it would look like Handa was teaching a lesson to the student president that the way she was treating males was disproportioned and based on some idea of males, which does not exist but happens to be how amnesiac Handa acts. Which would create a really ironic situation. The president is a super sexist, which kind of made me laugh when the vice president started giving back equal attitude back at the end.
Miyoko crazy chasing after him for a kiss was probably my favourite bit.

I really hope the student council president returns later in the series. For the brief time she's been there, I've been quite entertained especially by her reactions to Handa's mere presence.

Episode 6
So Handa has a rival, who is terrified of him, and Handa does not even know he exists. The dog scene was funny surprise and funny in general.
I think what really capped off the episode was the fortune telling. Specifically that she thinks it is really sketchy that apparently his future has him unmarried, but surrounded by 5 to 7 children within the next several years. The funny thing, something hinted by silhouettes, is that these are the island kids from Barakamon; Naru, Hina, the three boys, and the other two... it appears to be a girl with pigtails and I think another girl that I think had something in her hair... perhaps just younger versions of Tamako and Miwa, or character not introduced?

Man, with friends like Kawafuji who needs enemies? I just want to punt his sadistic ass to the moon.

Out of all the segments this week, I think I like the one with the guy trying to "compete" against Handa in a race the most.

Now this looks funny as heck I wonder whats when will it come out with it second season. see thats the problem with anime they only come out with short seasons bleach has a lot of ep and I like the cartoon very much along with street fighter 2 animated cartooon! I think that the cartoons should last longer And I always thought this.
I also think that the cartoons should be more vibrant with color. like I think they should draw more.

I tried watching the first episode... did anyone else notice the soundtrack wanted to break out in "Under Pressure" or were my ears lying to me? I found that to be more distracting than the meta humour- British spelling, really? Oh right, "Under Pressure"- about a guy who's already had an anime series getting an anime series... and then they mention the original series, bleeped out.
My thought? Either Jurassic World or the Force Awakens and their "movie as movie characters" structures really bothered the writer of this series. Let me check some references... Genshiken? Kujibiki Unbalance? Sounds about right.
Especially Kujibiki. Great show, kind of. I mean, I only ever saw the first one, the clip show and the second to last episode cliffhanger. I'll get around to watching the whole thing one of these days.
1,2,3....

Episode 7:
Honestly, I wasn't really into the first segment about Handa and the other students' exam scores.
The second one about the librarian girl (voiced by Rie Kugimiya I think) was much more amusing. The way she forms her delusions about Handa and her lifestyle at the school made me curious about some of the other potential minor characters (like the student council president we've seen already in one of the previous episodes)

A character voiced by Rie Kugimiya automatically gets extra points. On top of that, a somewhat creepy bookish girl, she raised up to being a liked character to me. But who is the better yandere?

Episode 8
For some reason I thought they were going camping this week. oO
I don't understand why I get so much pleasure just watching the characters walk to the music in the ED. It's incredibly soothing and almost as cool looking as watching characters dance.

It was a nice touch for them to switch the characters in the ED over to the alternate group from the other school. Of course Handa has a terrible time while convincing his 'rival' to appreciate his friends, by taking what he is saying incorrectly.

Ah that Ichiya guy annoyed me a little at first because of his personality. However, I think his role in this week's episode made that field trip more entertaining because of the school rivalries.
Funny ending as well.
Poor Handa D:

Poor Handa indeed.
I enjoyed how Yukio evolved inside the Handa Force this episode. Before he was basically always like why am I here. Then was out protecting Handa and snapped at the end of the episode.
