That's a jab at South Korea and China for stealing Japanese technology over the years.

I got the feeling they were also yelling at China, but the South Korea thing didn't fully click when I read the reference earlier in the week. Okay, so everything makes sense.

This episode was pretty damn enjoyable - seemed to be less wordplays to not understand and cultural references this time around. Overall...the three segments essentially broke down into the girls talking about nothing. It was fun overall.

I love how Kigu continues to meet the other girls expectations by giving them the answers theta expect, but then thinks otherwise.

I didn't understand the Kojirou reference with the 634 and Musashi thing (that part I got). Also I didn't get the whole peko and poko thing either.

Last segment - Besides the obvious one, I didn't get the doctors names that were censored. The 6th character wearing the luchador mask the whole time was bizarre and the girls didn't even really notice it.

I probably missed many of the jokes but there was more than enough hilarious parts to keep me entertained. I liked the part about winning the lottery, and I hope Kigurumi pretending to be cute to meet the other girls' expectations be a running joke.

Just finished watching 11 and 12. episode 11 was especially funny, with the cast trying to cool off in a heat wave and getting into various bathing suit antics. I will just say that I have never seen that many girls fit into 1 bathing suit at once!

This was a different sort of anime.......but I liked it, even if I didn't understand half the jokes. It had a good rhythm to it.

You should the TL notes at http://notredreviews.wordpress.com

They are extremely helpful for explaining some of the jokes or the way jokes were translated into English. Vale did an excellent job with the show.
