10 Second Anime - Nisekoi S2 - Episode 11


Onodera thinks she needs to lose weight. Then she reminisces on saying Good Morning to Raku.


Heh.

Onodera gets a turn for her own episode and end credits. Right before the season ends too. Just under the wire, like getting into the same school as Raku.
 
Looks like Erina from Shokugeki has some competition for her God Tongue.


I'll spoil the joke right now - the scale was broken. Onodera never gained any weight from sampling the Fall lineup for her family's sweets shop.


Haru got her own scare with the scale, but she didn't have to go through all the bad luck her older sister did.


Horrors! Onodera had to say no to cake!


The Gorilla has a pretty high metabolism if she's not putting on any weight from all the sweet stuff Tsugumi said Chitoge had been eating lately. Interestingly enough, Tsugumi didn't freak out from Onodera feeling up her master. We all know bullets would have been flying if Raku did this.
 
I guess Onodera isn't supposed to be athletic.


Yup. Each little misadventure in Onodera's quest to lose weight had an appropriate punchline. I liked the rhythm and flow of those joke setups.


Oh, Raku. Reading the mood 95% correctly.


Yes, he did a nice thing to cheer up Onodera in cooking her favorite sweet dish, but he had the worst timing since she was trying to avoid fattening foods. He got it right in the end, even if he didn't know he did anything, by telling her she looked thin to him. Problem solved.
 
Onodera has the cutest freakouts.

The second half was a nice flashback showing how much Onodera's little pleasantries with Raku have deepened a little and changed so much since junior high.


Ruri - pocky eating pro.


The label on the red box said "NISEKOI CHOCOLATE."

Failed so hard she turned into graffiti!


You know, if Onodera hadn't made it into the same school as Raku through the wait list, they would have confessed their love for each other right there in the snow. Going to different schools, they wouldn't be doing this friends-but-wanting-to-be-more dance they're doing now. That red scarf tying them together was a big reference to the red string of fate, right?
 
Ah well. She wished to keep saying "Good Morning" to him and somehow that's how it worked out. She made a whole bunch of friends along the way too. Who's to say which path was better? For the audience, we definitely got more comedy this way.
