This is such a typical harem/ecchi anime. I find it annoying that almost every girl likes Kazuma and he rejects them after they confess. What the hell is wrong with him?

I don't consider it so generic because the main character isn't as dense as a black hole. The reason why he rejects them even though he knows they like him is because he like Ui and apparently made up his mind, again unlike a lot of harem main characters who go for "status quo is good" endings.

I would also like to see a Sakai/Ayumu ending :)

Well it was expected that he will end with Ui, though I think too, that it's better to have an amagami format than this, with that all are pleased.

Wait... what? Am I missing something here? I know they are gonna end together obviously but is there any part, or any on the 11 episodes so far that he said or made up his mind about Ui?

I know he goes Ui, Ui, Ui on Madoka but that didn't happen on Ibuki. Plus, when Ibuki is rejected, the only thing Kazuma said is he didn't know how to answer her because he was surprised. *Event Skip* and she utters she was rejected. Nothing was implied that it was because of Ui.

Try to fit the Amagami format in 12 episodes.
Do not want.

I don't really know if I like that ending with Ui telling Ibuki that she's an aunt. I don't know how that's suppose to make a transaction to the next episode.

^ I'm kinda wondering about that myself. Like she can't participate in the festival, because her family is going to see her brother and her new nephew or niece.

Tsumugi is going to get Kazuma to "realize" his feelings for Ui. I feel it in my boooones....never mind the fact she basically did the same for Ui in this episode XD

And then, like in the story of the festival, and like how it was foreshadowed in that one episode, they will get to meet on the bridge and confess their undying love. Awwww!!!

Yeah, I'm only half kidding there XD

I'm curious as to why people think Tsumugi, Hina, and Koyori have feelings for Kazuma? Tsumugi is like the big sister, Hina is more is the cool senpai, and Koyori isn't thinking about matters of the heart, which is why she was all "Whut?! Madoka loves Kazuma?! I'll go tell her the good news!!!" LMAO. She reminds me of Chizu from "Kimi ni Todoke" in that sense.

You know I watched this episode again like a 2nd time and the insert song of Ibuki is kick ass! I sang it over 3 times. When it comes out, I am so getting the full version of it.

Man, I really want to punch Kazuma. There were some things unclear to me in the RAW but finding out the exact clear just made me RAGE! The guy did not reject Ibuki for a valid reason, he did it because he is a fucking airhead! I bet anything it is with Ui they put him either to
  1. Show one has to take responsibility upon kissing a girl even by accident.
  2. It could also be the "2 airheads belong together.
Who knows really but this what Ibuki had to offer in a 18+ version of herself to Kazuma in the spoiler
it's just too bad he did not take the offer.
No one in their right mind would be stupid enough to misunderstand Ibuki when she wanted seriously to go out with Kazuma. Seriously if I could, I would go into where Kazuma is punch him, force kiss Ibuki and tell her that this guy is a piece of shit that is not worth her time. I can do much better.

Episodes like these makes me sad, watching Ibuki and Madoka get rejected. Looks like he is going to end up with Ui. Tbh I actually liked all the girls in this anime and didn't really have preference so I am fine with whoever he ends up with.

Did they really expect people to enjoy watching Ibuki and Madoka getting rejected like this? Pfft, the date scene was fun to watch with that nice background song, and then they had to screw it up like they did.....

They should have did what Yosuga no sora did or Amagami, and just have each girl win at some point. Kazuma is such a tard....I feel bad for Ibuki.

Also, if they ever do end up translating the visual novel at manga-gamer, I'll be buying it and going for Ibuki first because of the bullshit that happened this episode.

This episode was a total let down for Ibuki fans. Kazuma was a total moron after doing a whole most amazing date with Ibuki. As such,
Ibuki is now my #2 and best girl for a date!

By that I mean she had the best date of all the girls. Although I did like Ibuki falling into the arms of Kazuma during the DDR session as follows,

it was inexcusable for Kazuma to make Ibuki tear up. How many girls this guy is going to disappoint? It was really interesting to see that as Ibuki does tear up, that crying is shown to be very big with the coincidence of raining starting to fall. The soaked Ibuki with a close up on her face in the spoiler
just shows that it sunk in deep, especially with Ibuki's depressing face. I cannot forgive Kazuma for making her feel like that and thus feel like punching him! :<

What it should have been is a straight through following,

and have Ui somehow cheer them on in their relationship like in the game or just give up on Kazuma. Pure and simple with a episode 12 but it looks like with the
beautiful Ayumu painting, that it may be a Ui ending.

My date appreciated points,
Unfortunately all this ended rather badly as Ibuki/Kazuma were having their fun, Kazuma like a idiot though Ibuki was joking on her proposal and thus makes it brush off as a joke here. That was totally stupid of Kazuma even though he apologizes later on the damage is done already. Well at least I am glad Ibuki recovered while being surprised at Ui's declaration. Unfortunately Ui was too airhead to mention it was from her blood brother with his fiancee. Of course damn censors of Ibuki's fan service were in the way but at least the Bds look more promising with that.

Other interesting points,
In general it was disappointing to see Ibuki being rejected like that but it was fun to see how much happiness she had by being with Kazuma.

About preview, looks to me like a Kazuma x Ui end. I am curious as to why would Kazuma wear this outfit? He is participating in the festival? Already don't like by the looks of Ui here. She looks depressed over something.

BTW: The end art is of a hot Sakai in the spoiler
rather tempting pose.


Ok, so it is now Ui and Kazuma, but why do I have a feeling that things on the last episode would go the way as expected?

really? he friendzoned Ibuki too? I guess that's better than Tsumugi got and she didn't get any focus. wondering if the main character is just gay or something I mean damn. now the 3 best girls are friend zoned. even the little brother seemed gay telling Ui to keep her clothes on and how he attached he is to his brother.

Ui is really getting annoying, this could have been a nice Ibuki centered episode but no Ui is everywhere. the only choice worse than Ui is Green Loli, at least she wasn't around.

sigh all this does is make me really wish for the VN to get translated so I could see a better ending.

*FACEPALMS*

AYUMU YOU DUMB B*TCH! YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID NOTHING WHEN UI DID THAT!!!!!


But that drawing was good. So I'll overlook his mistake.


OK, aside from that, this episode was way better than Ibuki's "I can't aim for shit at archery" story.

I also applaud this anime for not making a harem where the protagonist doesn't have a brain and but instead actually realizes girls like him (at least more than other harems). The same can be said for the girls. They actually had the guts to say something.

Even Ui is starting to look at Kazumu as a potential bf instead of an older brother - or at least she's not lying to herself about it anymore.

THANK GOD.

The show has been going downhill since Ep10. Kazuma is just turning into a typical harem character now. Hopefully this anime wraps it up with a harem ending or something to make a second season becuase we haven't even gotten a koyori or Tsumugi character Ep yet

LOL! I finished Infinite stratos right after watching this episode and felt so nostalgic. I wonder why? haha..harems. what more can u say?

Too bad it wasn't Ibuki she was my favourite through out the anime followed by Madoka.

Also obviously Ui in ep12 and personnaly I think she's the most annoying of the entire anime... why do harems rarely give you the route you want (ー。ー)

This episode pretty much let's me make the final score for this show: 71/100

I expected that Kazuma would reject Ibuki-chan, but I still don't like this. なぜ?!

Anyway, it seems that the preview predicts something that could make this show a huge failure. That's because Ui seemed depressed and the landlady was talking about brother love or something, and if that means Kazuma will reject Ui too, then I'm very, very mad. I hope it's just to mislead us.

I can see Kazuma and Ui getting together, settling down, and raising a new generation of moe blobs and herbivores. Really, the girls he rejected (or ignored, or just didn't realize were coming on to him) all had about 100 times the personality of Ui. I think this has just lowered my overall rating by at least one point.

Hoshino, you Heartbreaker. He'd better end up with a girl (who in all likelihood is Ui) in the end , or all of the girls' valiant sacrifices in battle would have been for nothing.

It'll be a troll ending for everybody, the girls and even the audience included, if we go this far only for Kazuma to reject every last girl and keep the romance inconclusive.

Don't go down that road, where many other forgotten harem "romantic" "comedies" have gone before and never returned to see the light of remembrance.

It's really funny people hate MCs that is an indecisive bastards...and then also hate the guy who rejected them properly...with more or less an explanation (Still..)....

Even though Ibuki is my favorite....I have totally expected that she has the lowest chance among the three (Madoka, Ibuki, Ui)....but i didn't actually predicted that Madoka will be the first to crossed out since She has the "Childhood friend flashbacks"

Of course Ui has the highest chance being emphasized on the story...

Your typical Harem anime to be precise....

So what will happen next ep? :D UI:Friendzoned or Not

Kaz is such a thick headed guy. Madoka and him aren't like that??? Really? So Sekai was nothing too? Now Ibuki, c'mon be a man, can;'t you see she's lying. ugh, looks like a Ui or Harem ending coming. And that frustrates me a lot because just from looking at the art, I realy liked UI before even knowing her quirks.

Damn these bastards at feng do a good job of building up a certain character and making you like them before they get the main protagonist to reject them. It seems like both ibuki and madoka moved on though a the end of their respective episodes. Moving on to the last episode.
