「君に届かない」 (Kimi ni Todokanai)
“It Doesn’t Reach You”
Oh my… did the Gachi Ranger misunderstandings just come to a stop? That was the pinnacle of humor surrounding Hitoha, so saying it’s a bit of a downer would be the understatement of the year.

「マジで変する5秒前」 (Maji de Hen Suru 5 Byou Mae)
“Things Get Seriously Weird 5 Seconds Before”
Holy crap a masochistic mother played by Inoue Kikuko! I always knew she had a knack for taking her innocent Belldandy voice to questionable levels, but it still doesn’t make it any less wrong when it’s Miku’s mother Marina asking Mitsuba to verbally and physically abuse her.

「ⅹⅹⅹになる」 (xxx ni Naru)
“Become A ***”
Given how Mitsuba will lie out her ass like there’s no tomorrow just to save herself some embarrassment, the tool shed behind her house could probably be considered her second home. This time, it’s not about forgetting her underwear, but teaching naive first-graders that being a sex addict is a prestigious thing.

「変人はサンタクロース」 (Henjin wa Santa Kuroosu)
“The Oddball is Santa Claus”
Gachi Ranger misunderstandings will never grow old at this rate, as Chiba falls victim to Hitoha’s inability to share her love for them with anyone.

「RUNNER」
All it took was a game of cops and robbers to establish that Mitsuba can ditch her conscience in a heartbeat.

「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.

「帽子とパンツはかぶるためにある！？」 (Boushi to Pantsu wa Kaburu Tame ni Aru!?)
“Hats and Underwear Are For Your Head!?”
While Soujirou’s suspicious nature has been an ongoing gag, I can’t help but feel sorry for him after seeing him interact with Futaba as a loving father.

「ブラ！ブラ！ブタ！」 (Bura! Bura! Buta!)
“Bra! Bra! Pig!”
A third sphere member joins the cast this week as a girl with thick eyebrows, but surprisingly it’s not Kotobuki Minako, whose role as Mugi in K-ON helped give rise to that look. Instead, it’s Toyosaki Aki again, as she continues to take the seiyuu world by storm.

「乳と白パンツと小生」 (Chichi to Shiro Pantsu to Shousei)
“Breasts, White Panties, and I”
Anyone who needs a funny comedy this season and hasn’t checked out Mitsudomoe yet should do just that, as it continues to deliver good laughs week after week.

「不審者がいっぱい」 (Fushinsha ga Ippai)
“Lots of Suspicious People”
The only really suspicious person was the Marui triplets’ father Soujirou (Amada Masuo) — being a big overweight guy running across town with his girls’ underwear in hand — but all the misunderstandings this episode made for some pretty hilarious times again.
