I think won't watch this episode until I can rest assured my mom won't walk in on me during one of the more questionable scenes. She loves ruining my weekend with speeches on why porn is bad, and I don't think she'd buy the "It's a parody!" excuse.

Aaaaaaaaaaand watched. Jesus Christ on a stick, this series is usually just plain nuts, but this episode was an assault on my sanity. "In the name of the abyss, I wish to ejaculate."
This Karura fellow sure has been sealed away long ago, hasn't he? Well, seems like he's not coming back, so it doesn't matter no more
Now question is: Are the multiple personalities indeed visitors from another world, or is the 'real' one who hasn't shown himself in ages seriously deranged?

The Forboding
Personally, I think things mostly point in the main character just being deranged. (And kobato's just going along with it, speaking of her true brother hiding etc.) Weird thing is how kakeru goes along with it too in a much more serious manner, just like that crow. Oh well, I'm happy that the plot is a bit more straigtforward (but no less what in the lords name am I watching-y) now.
Sweet Jesus, this show is messing with my mind more than Steins;gate. however, everything is slowly getting clearer. Something traumatic must have happened to Kobato's real brother, and couldn't face reality. So he created Itami. must have been a bad idea since Kobato vaguely remembers him. So along comes Takashi, Shuu, and Hayato, in that order according to the Tv screens in the OP.
As Shark 33 stated, they don't seem to change physically, and just use different clothing and wigs to look different, which would explain why during the cake fight, all the main and secondary girls identified each personality they are familiar with. However, Takashi seems shorter than the others. i don't understand why Itami is mixing in the fantasy world we saw a few episodes back.
I guess Kakeru knew the real personality before whatever happened, and is going along with all of this for the lulz. Kobato clearly doesn't like this, and im not sure how much of the situation the YFB are informed about.
Ok. so i guess im right. The original does not want to leave. this is getting interesting. Quite an imagination Takashi has, and i wonder how Asuka will take finding out about the split personality
Wow, I thought the reason that Youji created the other personalities was becuase he had seen his parents die, but as it turns out, it was becuase he killed his mother, who used to hit him and Kobato for no reason at all, and appearently also had split personalities, by attacking her with his own hands. Although in reality, he only thought he had killed her, but she recovered from the attack and killed herself by drinking poison.
Overall, I enjoyed the show, even if it was very WTF for most of the time.

I stopped as soon as I had to install Div X to watch the subs, really. 'twasn't that interesting beyond some initial WTF value.
So, episode 7 is finally subbed.
This is definitely the most ridiculous show ever. The cake fight was hilarious. I love how they know they have some very good story potential, but decide to cut it off to have some of the most blatant Fanservice I've seen.
The absurdity is great, but the plot keeps advancing, this episode made it clear that they do have a shared body that doesn't change it's form, but they use wigs and different costumes so each personality can be differentiated.
Right now, Kakeru, Kobato and that other guy from the cake fight, the Crow, seem to know all about the soul's abyss, and everything about the fantasy setting, while the memebers of Kakeru's gang seem to be aware only of the personality changes. Still unsure how much Asuka, Naru and Tamaizumi know about all of this.
Oh, and that song, amazing.
Dicks, dicks, everybody loves dicks.
