What I thought would be Episode 4 is actually going to be Episode 3, Momoka ftw. The first reoccurring character I really liked... the second I really like gets introduced like the next chapter.. and will hopefully be Episode 4.

Did you at least see Himeko in dat cheerleading outfit?

Anything directly involving Himeko was somewhat amusing, everything else.... ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz....

Oh, I guess the teacher saying "Shit!" in English was good for a chuckle.

Episode 1:

That wasn't bad at all. And I'm very glad the transfer student seems to be a one-off - he just didn't seem remotely quirky enough to fit in with the three Sket-dan members and I was not looking forward to seeing the story through his eyes.

The lovely Onihime is, of course, the best. I really like Shiraishi Ryouko here.

Will definitely watch more.

I think her and Switch's VA are absolutely perfect for their roles, wouldn't switch them for anybody.

Though the performance I'm really looking forward to is that of Ai Kiyano, I thought she is a star in the making ever since I saw she was a fresh face after watching the first episode of Yumekui Merry. Her character in this show is... well it's best to experience it.

Oh, she has a role in this show? Very nice news. I was going to give this show at least a few more episodes anyway, but that's certainly a good reason to keep going. Have to at least see what her character here is like.

Episode 2:

Still liking it. It can be a little too uh, loud at times (everyone is constantly yelling) but all three members of the Sket-dan are fun. And Himeko is fucking awesome. Especially in a sexy cheerleader outfit. <3

Side note: I can't see the logo without thinking of Bleach.

Another side note: It's kind of funny, I can't watch a Shounen Jump anime adaptation the same way anymore after seeing Bakuman.

I think her character will be episode 4, just depends if they shuffle.

I'm personally a much bigger fan of the characters introduced in 4 and 5 and I doubt many people here will think different.

Maybe if your a big Shounen Jump fan. But after 2 episodes I'll have to disagree, this show is just loud. All they do is yell and run around.

I realize you won't be watching this show long enough to see them but I assure you nothing in that mediocre show compares to the back stories of the main trio in the sket Dan. Said backstories not really typical wsj but whatever.

Hah true, Bakuman also seems to get referred too a lot when we argue about the WSJ TOCs on some manga forums.
