「遠イ物語」 (Tooi Monogatari)
“Distant Story”
Gather around, it’s story time! A lot of it wasn’t really new story as far as the anime is concerned though, seeing as the discovery of the crashed spaceship on Kamikura Island after it mysteriously appeared in the Sea of Japan was mentioned back in episode seven of the first season.

「DEAD night and the DEAD ruck」
With morale low, and the others recuperating, what is team Takashi to do when they see a little girl about to be devoured? Why, save her of course!

「#20」
In terms of latent talent sitting right underneath their noses, Tatsumi didn’t land nearly as big of a sleeper in Tsubaki as Dulfer did in Kubota (Yamanaka Masahiro).

「だんだん大きくなってくわ／津田君はボーイズラブ」 (Dandan Ookiku Natteku wa / Tsuda-kun wa Booizu Rabu)
“It’s Gradually Getting Bigger / Tsuda is Gay”
A beach episode involving only the student council and an unplanned overnight stop at an inn because Yokoshima-sensei decided to get wasted on beers. It probably goes without saying that it was a “brilliant” script that translated well on screen. This time, they remembered to throw in some fan-service too. Booyah!

「ガチで愛してしょうがない！？」 (Gachi de Ai Shite Shouganai!?)
“Can’t Help Being Earnestly in Love!?”
Even with the school sports festival and Sakiko stripping down Yabecchi in his sleep, the humor felt a bit lacking last time. Luckily, this episode more than made up for it by going back to misunderstandings and finally bringing in the Gachi Rangers I mentioned back in the Summer 2010 Preview.

「副会長は王子様!?／AOIとユカイな仲間たち」 (Fuku Kaichou wa Ouji-sama!? / AOI to Yukai na Nakama-tachi)
“The Vice President is a Prince!? / Aoi and The Merry Friends”
This may have been two omake combined into one episode, but I was actually looking forward to it since I enjoyed the Momotaro one. I felt it delivered as well, with Misaki’s improvised act in front of “Prince Takumi” being the highlight.

「棚町薫編 第三章 ウラギリ」 (Tanamachi Kaoru-hen Dai Sanshou – Uragiri)
“Tanamachi Kaoru Chapter 3 – Betrayal”
With the way things ended last time, I really didn’t know what to make of this episode coming in. The family drama aspect hasn’t been touched upon amidst all the kissing fetishes, so this third chapter of Kaoru’s arc gave some unexpected depth to the series as a whole.

「おおかみさん地蔵さんとダブルデートする」 (Ookami-san Jizou-san to Daburu Deeto Suru)
“The Wolf Goes on a Double Date with Jizou”
I guess it would be pretty wrong to say that Ryouko is much more attractive when she’s 13 years-old, but that’s the message I got when she came down with an acute case of amnesia.

「空より高く」 (Sora yori Takaku)
“Higher than the Sky”
After all my talk about propulsion and escape velocity back in episode four, it was pretty awesome to see those concepts put into effect against an orbital elevator-like Neuroi. With signs of jealousy from Eila and a duet insert song to make up with Sanya, this is easily one of my favorite episodes of the new season too.

「魔の山に仕組まれし罠」
“A Trap is Set on the Evil Mountain”
Thanks to the groups over-interest in youkai/over-interest in free onsen and meals, the Paranormal Patrol ignore how incredibly creepy the professor is and fail to heed Rikuo’s warnings. With all the foreboding and hints, there is no doubt to the viewer from the beginning that they are walking into a trap.
