I like this show. Its funny, but doesnt have any reasoning.

Nino in a swimsuit was win, even if it was a school swimsuit.

There isn't really much to discuss about this series anymore... doesn't seem like there will be any deep meaning, so all we can hope for is some character development. Whether or not Ric is able to accept his living situation, etc.

More Nino scenes are a must as well.

Nino in a swimsuit was win because it was a school swimsuit.

It's way too hot here for thermal underwear. They must either be making a joke, or Japan's a lot cooler than it looks.

I liked the Doraemon reference.

@Buff - Dammit, I was about to say the same thing about the swimsuit.

Japan is a lot cooler than it looks, unless it is summer. I was freezing during fall, winter and spring when I lived there, but that may be because it is freaking hot in my country.

This summer, it hit 37 degrees Celsius where I live, and 39.3 in the hottest areas. The record is 42.2 degrees, and that is not a desert, but a city.

That sound like Houston. Record heat last year was like 110 F (which is 43 C) due to a combination of heat and humidity.

I don't know how i feel about this show. It's funny so far, but i was expecting it to be more serious and less random.

Episode 7:

Did i just spot potential for actual development beyond the gag jokes? O_O

I'm looking forward to next week's episode, to see how Ric handles the real world after being exposed to the bridge for such a long time

Perhaps, but initially only in the sense of accepting these under the bridge people's life style. We haven't yet even had any indication Ric would have hated his own life, no matter how tormented he was by his weakness. I'd say he has been even more tormented under the bridge, anyway. So, questioning the superiority of his own common sense doesn't yet break him. In fact, it might allow him to be more succesful in international trade, because even many everyday things vary from country to country.
