Summary:
Zange’s threat of moving in is averted in the ensuing cooking competition. Nagi is actually quite skilled at cooking (although she has a strange sense of taste), but she never cooks because she is lazy as hell. Hakua wants to do the cooking herself, and without Zange’s help her entry is a terrible burnt disaster. Tsugumi valiantly goes to her ougi of fried egg and vegetables, but I think Nagi wins. With that out of the way Nagi continues to go to school and a Nagi-sama Fanclub is started with Takako’s help (woo Nicon D300).
The fanclub is a big hit, and its members keep Nagi from getting caught by the teachers. The devotion of the students increases Nagi’s power, and she gets excited about unlocking new abilities. Eventually, however, Hagashima-sensei (nicknamed Hageshima, or “bald island”) mentions the situation to Hakua’s father Reiri, and Reiri catches Nagi. It looks bad at first, but Reiri knows Nagi’s situation and wants her help in getting Zange out of Hakua’s body. As the Suzushiro family helped found the school, and Reiri is the religious studies teacher, Reiri is able to make Nagi an official student on a religious studies and local history research scholarship.
Reaction:
Psssshhh, who uses hit counters anymore? 16,529 sounds impressive, but if those are hits rather than unique visitors it is not nearly the same thing (we get more hits than that in an hour, and we don’t even have any official Nagi videos or pictures). I was happy to see Nagi get a chance to bounce back with homefield advantage (sporting white home uniform while everyone else had to use an apron), and she really took it to Zange this time. Jin’s guesses about Nagi’s power-up (thinner eyebrows?) were amusing, but that sauce-devil shouldn’t look down on occult freaks!
Although Nagi was awesome this time, her power-ups were pretty tame. She can now take out single spider-impurities on her own, and she can make a star-shaped light beam to use as a flashlight… I guess the power of love is not nearly as impressive as Totali makes it out to be. Maybe Nagi just needs to grind some more faction for the really good rewards. Zange had a good plan to bring the fight to Nagi’s home turf, but the doting-father trump card proved to be too much to overcome. These Nagi-Zange battles really highlight how great the voice work has been so far in the series.

Eh, eh? No comment on Yamakan giving the proverbial ‘Up Yours’ to KyoAni for firing him?
Oh, and another thing… Am I the only one that noticed how Nagi seemed to have dropped her ‘ojou-sama’ tone of voice around Tsugumi? The diction was preserved during her visit to Jin’s school though, but the haughty tone was just… gone.
But…but….the magic stick flashlight is the coolest thing since riptide….
I rolfed with the “magic stick” aka the flashlight. I thought she was gonna wipe that guy’s memory or something.
Speaking of great voice work, it’s Tsugumi’s voice actress (Miyuki Sawashiro) that wins the show for me. :3
I think you’re missing the point. Let us observe this more closely:
Verrry impressive indeed! =3 Where it at, son!
I thought it would be pretty funny if Jin were to break the Vaio laptop, cause it definitely seemed like he was gonna do it. and no, not cause I’m a Sony hater, but it would just fill in that hole of randomness/over the topness, like when we had Takako spurting blood everywhere while gasming over too-pure-pure-boy =3
During certain parts of the episode, I noticed some Super Mario coin effects, and not only during that 2-D segment. This episode pulled the strings, but did not bring home the bacon… needs more sausages
Just so everyone knows, just because I’m crazy over Nagi now does not mean that I have forgotten about Ranka.
Also, if you go to the main site, the fanclub does actually accept real members, but you’d have to actually register through the convenience stores over there.
