Arakawa Under the Bridge (English Subtitled)

The beginning of Nino and Rec's love story...as well as an overwhelmingly intense introduction to another "unique" character under the bridge.

As Rec strolls down memory lane, the story pushes ahead with more and more Arakawa residents making their debuts. And just to be clear, the fluctuation in the heights of the Tetsujin Twins is intentional. It's definitely not a mistake.

It all begins with the incident in the confessional. Hoshi deludes himself straight into depression, and Rec's insensitive comments only exacerbate the situation. Later, study Rec's technique as he struggles to ask Nino out on a date.

The first part of the show concludes the Rec/Nino date that began in the previous episode. Then, Stella and Maria finally make their debuts in the second half of the show. You'd think more girls would help the show calm down, but...
