I just started watching this last Friday... funny stuff. Anyone know what the deal is with the alternate retelling being produced by another animation house thing?

Woah the art looks way different o.O

Are you sure it's not just like a bonus episode? I'm not really sure what kind of "alternate retelling" of the story they could do, unless they decided to switch the sister's personalities. Even so, that wouldn't be great.

According to the ANN entry and the discussion on the animesuki boards it's an alternate retelling that was actually announced as a series before the first episode of this season aired.

Episode 11! Just watch the show, my comments have quite the spoilers!
Spoiler :
Presenting Touma's brothers!

Akira mentions that Touma's acting more boyish. Of course, being raised with three good-for-nothing older brothers it shouldn't come as a surprise. But what's the real reason? Oddly, the brothers don't ask Touma directly as she's right next to them...

Out of concern and curiosity, Elder Brother commands Akira to follow Touma to the Minami sisters' house. Upon hearing of this, Haruka is highly suspicious and defensive(!). Chiaki is the most level headed and suggest letting Touma's brother in. Kana isn't impressed with the gift Akira brings. Haruka, on the other hand, seems to have a change of heart.

Kana refers to Haruka as Oyabun (Boss). I think she's getting the wrong idea about this situation...

Haruka doesn't help her case when she phones the other Minami household to say that Touma and Akira are in their care. Maybe Kana is rubbing off on Haruka...

Akira visits Kana in her classroom at school. Kana makes a joke about Akira saying he wants to get a girlfriend. Akira actually admits that it's true. When Kana asks what's his type, he says that any girl is OK as long as it's not Kana. :lol:

Riko and Banchou (Fujioka) show up. Misunderstandings ensue. :D

The Chiaki and Yamada segment was sooooo cute.

Hosaka recruits Minami into the volleyball club (no, not that Minami).

Hosaka asks Natsuki to try the bento he made. Natsuki makes a clumsy attempt at not eating it.

Natsuki goes to find Haruka and meet fellow volleyball club members Maki and Atsuko. Atsuko makes the introductions and Maki gives Natsuki a good push. Haruka goes into Legendary Banchou mode. :lol:

Natsuki reflects on the events of the previous day and face plants at the breakfast table. :D

See! I told you that Kana is really observant about certain things. :P

Natsuki gets to properly introduce himself to Haruka and then face plants again. And again.

Kana realizes why he's doing that but is too subtle in mentioning to Haruka about her wardrobe malfunction. Chiaki makes it plainly clear. Natsuki in the meantime has created a pool of blood so Haruka rushes to help. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Haruka forgets about her clothing condition. So Natsuki face plants again. :lol:

In case you don't understand the joke of Kana calling Haruka "Oyabun" and her acting and speaking in the manner that she does (plus the context of the subsequent events), here's a link that might help.

.. its the -lack- parental guidance on both sides of the Minami families that makes this show a success .. the only limitations to their deeds are their fear of punishment for crimes they don't understand - hehe
