Junichi Suwabe as an alien poodle, Jun Fukuyama as the alien love rival, Rie Kugimiya as a shota, underground idol, and a female admirer (possibly stalker)...well, that's a cast of characters that can rival Maison Ikokku .

How convenient that Mira and Naosuke had a cat shaped rocket that lands in front of a bunch of cat statues at a temple that they can just pass off as a giant cat statue. Even funnier because Naosuke looks like a poodle .
I love how Mira got the whole idea for the plan from spotting a Maison Ikakku...I mean, "Melon Igyoku" poster . So Mira is under a lot of pressure from her home planet and her mother, the queen, to find this key, take the throne, and bring peace to the galaxy...when really she just wants to relax, enjoy Earth, and eat fine Japanese cuisine from Miyasaka. But Naosuke won't let her get out of her duty (especially because he hates playing a dog) and she can't fail the mother who raised her after her father died . Miyasaka's feelings for Mira are getting...pretty intense, whether she be a widow, in a relationship, or otherwise . So the previous landlord Tasuke might have also been from Planet Wid? And he's the one who hid the key in Astro Lodge? Is he directly connected to Mira? Mira wants to know more about him not just because of the key, but because she's fascinated by another Wid alien who seemed to have fallen in love with Earth . Never get in the way of a jobless bum and his food...and when in doubt, blame the dog! Miyasaka is never going to get along with Naosuke . So the "antagonists" are apparently alien Hub's, who have transforming "Hubby" robots, who are also after the key...and now Miyasaka thinks there's some kind of husband in the picture. Just typical sci-fi romcom antics . The Hubby robot transforms a bird to a roomba! A roomba that gets a wig and bra stuck ontop of it and accosted by a kid! I think it made a bad choice for disguise . Although I guess if anything good came out of it, shorting out and leaving Miyasaka and Mira locked in a room together isn't the worst thing. Especially when they get to drin Umeshu together and drunk Mira gets pretty honest by how chained she is by her heavy responsibilities...which makes Miyasaka telling her to live the life she WANTS all the more precious. And Miyasaka gets gifted with her falling asleep on his shoulder...AND lap! Totally worth a scratch-up by Naosuke . And things are getting so good that he and Mira are even going to watch a movie together! Or they would have had her fiance Shoin, voiced by Jun Fukuyama, not shown up to throw everything off! Guess it wouldn't be a Rumiko Takahashi tribute show without a love rival ! The ED is really cute with Mira and Miyasaka singing a duet with their pictures looking at each other and then going on a romantic date at the end !

ED makes me nostalgic
Another fine episode, and for some reason, the protagonist feels actually kinda unique. I guess its because all of the Takagi-san clones have the female be on top of the protagonist and the protagonist is always the reactor. While these "older" stories have a better balance. Maybe.

Episode 2 moved the plot along quite well. I am ecstatic to see so much happen in just 20 something odd minutes. They surely are going for a lot of double meanings with Wid-ow and Hubby.
The town lady sure got to Takumi but things were looking up for him when he got locked in the room with Mira, and at the end when he was about to go watch the movie but her apparent fiance appeared! Looking forward to next episode! |

Miyasaka just wants to watch movies and chill with Mira and now he has to deal with none other than her fiance Shion...well, more like the childhood friend she always swore she'd marry when they were kids, but still !
So Mira can just have her tech change her outfit whenever she wants? Does she ever actually change clothes herself ? But hey, at least Naosuke is consistent in hating any man who tries to get close to Mira, so it's not just Miyasaka. Though his main priority is figuring out who is framing him for stealing food. Speaking of ghosts...I guess nobody knows about Sadako . Now Mira has to maintain the lie that she and Shoin are from the UK, though at least Shoin has the outfit and resources to come off like a rich tycoon . Naosuke's been made by Ren! It's going to get even harder to pretend to be a dog now ! I love how Miyasaka doesn't really care that Shoin is driving a Sci-Fi car that shouldn't exist on Earth but only notices that he and Mira are spending late nights together...and the other residents are teasing him about how his aspiring professional chef status just makes it a harder fight for her heart . It's hard for Ren being the son of a jobless bum because he doesn't get the nice bento's all his classmates get from his parents, but it's a nice opportunity for Miyasaka to step up! Doubly so when he and Mira have to leave for Enoshima together to personally deliver the bento ! It's nice that Wakabayashi actually thanked Miyasaka for cooking for his son...but would he have actually gone to the trouble of delivering it to his kid had he not used it as an opportunity to do Miyasaka a solid by paring him and Mira up ? Figures they would need Shoin's car (complete with alien AI) to make it, but Miyasaka isn't letting Mira sit next to him at least! And of course the Planet Hub Pelican is still after them, which leads to the car flying, Mira firing an RPG, and Miyasaka getting into a fistfight with a pelican. He didn't win, but it's the thought that counts . Bento delivered! And now Miyasaka is trying to ward off all birds! The dudes' so extra, but that's what Mira finds so enjoyable about him . Ooooh! Ren has a crush! That girl in the dress IS pretty cute. Though I wonder if this is the first time Mira's seen someone having feelings for someone else ? I KNEW Sadako was the culprit! Which means some investigating and romcom antics from Mira and Miyasaka !
