Summary:
Nagi’s cheap wand gets broken after she steps on it, but she is momentarily distracted by some cute kittens. Jin gives Nagi some instant glue to fix the wand, but Nagi ends up gluing half the wand right in the middle of the coffee table and then blaming it on her split personality. This is Tsugumi’s cue to introduce herself as the childhood friend who is watching Jin for his dad. Tsugumi obviously wants Jin’s hot bod, and fortunately Nagi tells a crazy story about being Jin’s mysterious half-sister who was kept in a cloister like Murasaki.
Later on Jin finds that the kittens that Nagi found died because their mom got hit by a car and they starved to death. Nothing hits the spot like dead kittens, so Nagi turns the kitties into sparkles and tells them to get into her belly. However, Nagi is very defensive when Jin wants to know WTF just happened, and so they get into a big fight. Nagi thinks she can make it on her own, but even one impurity is too much for her now. Fortunately, Jin stops by to save Nagi before an impurity in a super-ball manages to have its way with her.
Reaction:
Dang, I love Nagi’s stupid behavior so much. The way she is easily amused by things like wands doing somersaults and the corny jokes she cracks totally melt my heart. It was enough for me to forgive how Nagi ate those kittens and then fell into a food coma. The girl even laughs at her own jokes; what a dork! However, I imagine these same traits will be much less endearing when I see them in Jin’s dad. I also can’t wait for Tsugumi to wonder if Jin is a siscon.
Speaking of Jin, he is so damn tsundere. He was all tsuntsun when he was kicking the mooch out of his home, but he was all reluctantly deredere when he was grabbing Nagi’s butt under her short skirt giving Nagi a piggyback ride. I was kinda intrigued at how they didn’t give the super-ball back, and the impurity this time was something right out of The World Ends With You.

It’s just so darn easy to spot the puns in this series, since Nagi inevitably starts laughing or giggling at herself.
sadly, when the puns appear I think to myself, “I’ll bet Kabitzin liked that one.” So far, this is one charming-ass show though.
Proof of my godly status? Hmmm…
That’s not bad at all. I thought the same thing. Nagi’s just that awesome. :P
I was definitely not feeling the tsuntsun Jin. I mean, what type of man complains when a loli who can make puns wants to hang ten? *hangs a ten dollar bill on a bamboo tree and makes a prayer*. Hes pretty much just complaining about “OH I HAVE TO BUY DAT MAGIC WAND and nao dat ur hur ay cun’t akivate ma chaidhood freend’s flag! GTFO!!!” “WAaaaaaHHH YOU GLUED DA MAGIC STICK TO MA TABLE!! NAO I REAAAALLLY CAN’T ACTIVATE MA CHILDHOOD FRIEND’S FLAG CAUSE SHE THINKS I’M GAY FOR USING IT AS A DILDO WAHAHHHAAAAHHH!!!” “WAAHHH YOU HAVE… no… panties?… Well golly Miss! You should have just said so in the first place! HOP ON!!! *exxxtends hands*”
The animation was pretty sweet, in that cheesy sense of course (hurr hurr, cheese that is sweet hurr hurr). Theres just something about that fast-forward/slow-motion funk effect that they have. I don’t know if its laziness with the animators or what… its just so legit!
Kannagi… Kabnagin… Ka
nnagibitzin! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!*EXTREMELY JEALOUS* W-w-w-ww-Whats she got dat I DON’T huh? I’m practically a God too you know! *snaps fingers* *bobs head* MMMM HMM!!!
What? You mean… this isn’t a common practice amongst us punners?
btw, with her somewhat messy hair, droopy eyes, and loose clothing,… the childhood friend seems sort of like a skank. Wish I had a dad who can entrust a girl like that to me!
I’m surprised he didn’t get any splin-*EXPLODES*
Here’s someone who can get into any comedy clubs without being kicked out no matter how lame her jokes as Nagi is heart attack inducingly moe. Her audience would all go HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG and die off there and then. Her “HAUUU~ I WANNA TAKE IT HOME!” face just edged Rena’s.
Haha, I was thinking that when I watched it too. Copping a feel, What a perv.
Whose translation do you follow? I have the feeling I’m missing some of the jokes. Nice boots, though.

[...] On the other hand, there was no such ambivalance with respect to Kannagi. Kurogane bestowed unto it the title of most delightful series of this season. Though I needed to check the dictionary to find out what hashihime meant when she praised ‘the nimble twists and turns of [Nagi's seiyuu Tomatsu Haruka's] voice are virtuosity with artistic meaning‘, I did find myself going: ‘Wow! Who *is* Nagi’s seiyuu?’ as I watched the first two episodes. Great emotional range as well as two very distinct mannerisms and the killer delivery of lines that are so stupid that they’re pure gold. [...]
[...] Reaction: I guess Daitetsu just really wanted to give Jin wood *snicker*. I wonder what would have happened if Daitetsu did not steal the wood, and mature Nagi (henceforth “Magi”) told Daitetsu not to feel remorse. Is it possible that Nagi really does have a split personality? It’s not that surprising, considering that technically Zange is a sort of offshoot personality as well. It seems that Nagi’s fainting spell was similar to what happened after Nagi ate those kittens. [...]
