This episode was okay, but the only problem is that the excessive type 2 fanservice, mostly Touka pantyshots… This episode alone had more fanservice than any episode of Nogizaka Haruka in any series and this episode alone can beat the number of panty shots Shiina had in the first season… That got to be bad… so bad that it’s good…
Synopsis
Yuuto after imitating a lizard, he became a butler for one week for Touka so that he can use the money to buy a Christmas gift for Haruka …. the only problem is that she is a tsundere and nothing satisfied her and she makes outrageous requests. After Yuuto finished a day, next day, Yuuto collapses onto the desk and Shiina asks whats wrong with him. After school, Yuuto was dragged by Touka and she had him do more stuff like cleaning the stuff. Yuuto tried to stop her, but she landed into the pile of arms and hurt her leg. Yuuto cleans the injury on her leg although she didn’t want her to. At night, when he went into the room, he finds that the Nogizaka Maid team and Mika was having tea. They revealed that Touka’s family is having a feud since the head of the house past away recently and fighting over inheritance. Next day, after preparing her food and having her eat it, she left. While resting for the day, the power goes out and Touka goes into the room Yuuto was in. Then he finds him in a cow outfit…. which she got in a raffle. Yuuto asks about the house, and Touka reveals that she want to take over the world and needs the power to do so. Then, the emergency alarms went on and two unknown forces came at the house defeating the people trying to defend it. Soon, the two broke into the window and Mudou takes out a lightsaber and tries to attack them, but got defeated. Yuuto and Touka then run for it, but Touka fell because of the slippers. Yuuto tells her to take them off but it was too late… Then, Yuuto looks at them again and realized it was just Ruko and Yukari with the animal instincts of finding Yuuto. Next day, Yuuto was given his paycheck of a one Yen coin because all the damages had to be payed from the rest of the money. Then, Touka asks about Yuuto’s real name and he tells… and she promises that she won’t forget that night… Soon, Yuuto left the building and Touka watches him leave at the window… and then walks away.
Thoughts
This episode was okay and it was funny… but the only problem… too much fanservice… it seems that Diomedea is having fun with this and adding too much fanservice on the level of the rest of the harem anime out there. I find the parody pretty funny and Touka being a tsundere… I seem to be a sucker for those…
Not a bad episode, but the fanservice ruined it… I think this episode was more fanservicey than the last episode (besides the first few minutes in the beginning and the end.) I’m pretty sure that “Purity” lost it’s meaning underneath all the fanservice shots or panty shots out there so far in this episode. After watching this episode, I can’t help to I think that this episode had more fanservice than the first episode… and the first episode fanservice was just the hot spring scene…
The only plus side of this is… that they didn’t censor anything in this episode… then again, what’s there to censor? Panty shots?
One more thing… Haruka does the Mio’s moe moe kyun thing from K-ON!
Verdict
7.3/10
pantsuuu. Who is this tsundere!? lol, grabbed the first two episodes to check out, figure I should try at least two.Yea, random fanservice sucks. They are just trying to hard sometimes.
Fanservice like this ruin a series like all the other harem anime out there that have a lot of fanservice/ecchi content… I don’t remember seeing that much fanservice in the first season… maybe it’s time to ditch the anime and just read the light novel?
If KyoAni was doing this, they will probably add more moe and cut out all the fanservice…
I was surprised at all the fan service in this episode too. I agree they really went overboard with the pantie shots. Although I don’t like the blatant fan pandering, I enjoy this show enough to overlook the fan service and concentrate on everything else, but this episode went a bit too far. Not to mention that Touka was the most one-dimensional tsundere I’ve ever seen.
The first season had some not-so-memorable, fan service filled episodes, and some really good episodes. The second season will probably be the same, and this is definitely one of the fan service filled episodes =P

Have to agree… I think Kyou Fujibayashi is a better and more interesting tsundere than Touka in this episode… They are probably doing this to make fun of the typical tsunderes out there… That what I’m guessing… but looking at the pattern… it’s going to be more of a mixed bag as you say, but it will never get onto the level of Queen’s Blade in terms of fanservice which borderlines softcore porn…
FYI, the tsundere actually appears for like 5 seconds in the first season. She’s one of the competitors in the school festival beauty contest.
