Even though this episode needed more Mariya, I still enjoyed it immensely and screamed with laughter almost every other minute. The Super Deformed mode was sustained really well and this episode firmly establishes this type of SD-mode as OtoBoku’s calling card. Favourite parts included the title of ‘Tsunderella’, Takako getting struck by lightning, the pixellated Takako-tentacled scene, every scene with Shion in it (like her hair capture, unga-unga dance, magical battle with Kei and Michiko and not least that really HAWT WTF nekkid fan service scene - see Omni’s post - she’d give Mariya and Takako a run for their money anytime!), the forest full of flying Kanacopters and the giant cats. While I would have liked to see the Mariya vs Takako rivalry develop, this episode was thoroughly enjoyable silliness. Looking forward to the next season!
