The episode was interesting indeed the introduction of a childhood friend was a nice idea.
And the other girls seems a bit weird as well there reasons for being there seem obvious tho it's nice to see.
The cliffhanger just makes me want more of this.

CRAZINESS. I honestly don't know what's going to happen anymore.

Mio seems to like Tetsuro.
Tetsuro likes Kanna.
Kanna likes Kai.
Kai likes Senpai.
Senpai likes Kai.
Kinoshita likes Kai.
- I think that crazy stalker Tetsuro has doesn't matter except to trigger Mio's feelings.

I really wonder about what's going to happen. Things are pretty crazy.
I'm still Kanna x Kai.. But Tetsuro x Kanna is sweet though, I think that's a 'natural' couple if you know what I mean.

Now he has to make a choice otherwise I'm gonna be extremely sad :u
Anyways, Remon... Damn. She's psychic. She knows the truth. Or at least it looks like she knows.


I got the impression that Remon may actually be an alien too. She instantly went to Ichika when she showed up to school and she's been pushing Ichika to become more attached to the earth people. I wouldn't be surprised if in the end Remon's secret is revealed along with Ichika's. If she is not a fun loving alien then she is damn good at making thing's complicated for people haha.

This episode was so awesome! Go Mio stopping the kiss! And do u not like wearing underwear or something? I swear she's nude throughout most of her parts in this episode.

I really want to see how these relationships play out now that Ichika and Kanna have another girl to deal with. LOL at that intervention they had for Kaito. And how Tetsuro deals with what happened with Mio and that stalker. lol I'm really addicted to this show :)

I wish this anime didn't have Ichika. She's such a crappy third wheel char. Would've been better if she was replaced by that new girl.

Also, I'm really not liking the harem Kai is building. It's ridiculous.

Kinda wish this anime was about Tetsurou and Mio. They're the best chars by far.

Series has been decent so far but really didn't like this episode. Wasn't very good and seriously can't get past how fake everything felt.

If Kaori would have had any reason to be there then to serve as manufactured drama pushed into an already touchy situation it might have been different. That's all she seemed to be be there for, though.

Chiharu didn't seem to do anything other then make things strange herself.

Badly constructed drama machines, no thanks.

Then there's other stuff like how convenient they could go on a 6 person trip like that to begin with. Wish I could pull one of those out of my rear. Could use a vacation.

All and all a really big disappointment, to say the least.

Wow, this show sucks. For me I mean. Seems like lots of people enjoy it and they have a perfect right to do so, but personally I can't imagine how it even can be enjoyable.

This episode has done it. Just what we needed, more people who FOR NO REASON suddenly super-seriously love another without as much as knowing them. Sure, a childhood friend... But it feels so forced!

Everything in this series seems so forced! The feelings which are there only to produce jealousy, the coincidences, the characters' behaviour... The film-making is barely there, wasn't the protagonist supposed to be very into that hobby? And why is Senpai an alien if she's not? She's a human being - knows how to interact with people, behaves like a human, has feelings just like a human, isn't surprised about anything she sees on Earth, even falls in so-called "love" with a human boy. Nope, I see no reason why they had to make her an alien character. So forced!

Dropping it. That's the first cliffhanger in my life that made me actually despise the idea of seeing the next episode. Wow.

Sorry for the surprisingly (even for me) immense hatred, fans. I just had to get it out of my system. Enjoy it, since you apparently can.

I don't appreciate fan service in the typical environment of the show, but beach episodes omg the more the better. And they're a nice change from the rather monotonous scenery we're so used to after 5 episodes.

Kanna: Already added her to my favorites, I can't help myself. She's Anaru's reincarnation, I'm telling you. This is the type of tsundere I'm able to enjoy, where she doesn't abuse the guy. She seems quite realistic and her actions are believable, she doesn't blush after every word (*cough* Ichika *cough*), but the occasional jealousy and cuteness is more than appreciated. She seems so sensitive and fragile under her energetic outside. I hope she ends up with Tetsurou. She is way too good for Kaito's stupidity.

Ichika: She needs to GTFO seriously. I hope she fucks of to her home planet at the end of the show. I would totally join the tear parade in this case (and you know it's coming. After episode 9 everyone will be crying every 5 minutes). Her blushing is getting on my nerves and she has the "What is this feeling?" syndrome, which I despise with all my heart. Something about her character just pisses me off. She's too nice, too pushy (if you're listening behind his door you are overdoing it)and too ... mary sue, I guess. Too polite. Too friendly. Too boring for my taste. And I'm not a fan of big boobs, so her costumes just make me dislike her more and more.

Mio: I absolutely love the contrast between her walking naked in her room and the shy way she acts with her friends. She is so horny for Tetsurou, combined with her personality you can't help but think it's cute. I wish she would be with Tetsurou, but maaan then Kanna would be alone (SHE ISN'T ENDING WITH KAITO. OVER MY DEAD BODY) and then I would just get sad. But I think that would be the best ending, with Kanna by herself. It would be emotional and we could assume she'd have a happier future ahead of her, instead of depressing over Kaito all the time. But yeah, I sort of side tracked here. Overall, I like Mio. She's quite an original character.

Kaito: He's too nerdy for my taste. There's nothing too interesting about him and I don't like it when guys are shy. He seems kind of feminine. I don't see why he's got so many admirers.

Tetsurou: He seems mature and kind, which is a nice combination. Whoever he ends up with, I won't complain, but it's pretty obvious it will be Mio. I like that he acts on his own and realizes what everyone's feeling are (when he told Kaito Kanna likes him). And it's cute that he's able to give up on what he wants (Kanna) so that she can be happy. But I'm kind of confused over his love interest, I mean he seems to flow both ways - Kanna and Mio. And after this episode, with Mio's ass revealed, I'm pretty sure he'll go for her.

Remon: She's kind of like God, I think whatever she decides will happen. But I can't help but think she's really lonely. I mean, before Ichika came in, she didn't really have any friends. Whatever, she doesn't need any. Her manipulation will do the trick, trolling all the way. And I don't want to sound like a lolicon, but she looked cute in her swimsuit, I was kind of hoping she'd take her school one, just because it reminded so much of Konata in her beach episode.

The two new girls were kind of annoying and let's be honest unrealistic. The director destroyed their characters before they even had the chance to be introduced and I just find that rude. They were put in the show as disposable characters, simply to get some reaction from Mio, Kanna and Ichika. That's probably the only thing I disliked about the episode, still it was a 5.

I hope the series doesn't go too into Ichika's background and the whole alien thing, basically the science-fiction side of the anime. It should focus entirely on the relationships.

despite knowing Tanigawa's feelings he still shows no interest.

I'd still like Kaito /Tanigawa and Tetsuro /Mio.

but the obvious pairings, seem what we are stuck with.

When the beach episode wasn't cliche enough, the childhood friend appears!
But there's something about this anime that makes me happy everytime I watch it, I guess it's the character's relationship and so.

Anyways, I suppose they are going to show the movie in the last episode? Can't wait to see those random scenes put together. XD

The "love story" is mediorce and has been done many times before. The alien girl is annoying there isn't a single reason to like her other than "OMfG SHE IS So CUTE and SHe IS NEW!!!" really? is that what romances have come to these days? Fall in love with the girl becuase she is a new student and cute? Bullshit.

The main character has better development with the childhood friend he realizes things about her (like that hand on mouth thing) and the have good chemistry, why the hell doesn't he accept her feelings. This anime is trying so hard to be cliche that it doesn't make sense anymore.

The blue haired dude is retarded for not hooking up with the horny girl.

One thing you should know is: you shall not hook with horny girls. Best keep those in the "friends with benefits" column for those nights you are aching for some.

As for the rest, I dare say this show is starting to get annoying with the amount of cliches and the "love at first sight" bull (let's not get into how he and his sister allowed a complete stranger with uncertain origins to stay at their house (while the sister was out of the country no-less). Besides, what's so interesting about the main character that he suddenly has 3 girls vying for his attention?

Well, I'll be the first to admit I'm not interested in Kaito in the least - he's not my type. Ichika, however, every time she starts talking about Quan Linkages, Bio-interfaces, Gravity stabilizers, and such, well, that turns me on. Can't help myself when a girl talks geeky like that ;)

Kanna is such a lovely girl. I cannot somehow root for Kaito and Ichika just because of her.

I don't know how it works in anime but according to Anaru in Ano Hana [Source: Episode #05 #t 00:17:36], Jintan looked more like Hey! Say! Jump!!'s Ryosuke Yamada, and apparently, he is immensely popular within Japanese teenage girls. If you asked me, if I am to stick with Anaru's words, Kaito is more like Ryosuke Yamada with glasses ;)

This should explain why girls are head-over-heels falling for him.

I have a theory. The part where Rinon was squished and then the scene changes to the ship reacting. I think Kaito's health will also respond and maybe it'll make his health unstable or something.

It's the "beach" episode, complete with a storm of cliches and fanservice. I'd like to think that it's going to get better, as long as they leave Okinawa for EP7.

Ah, it's great to be young again... ;) Oh, Kaito, you lady killer. And for that, he got the night's hot seat. The introduction of those two new girls were perfect for forcing the mains to make their decisive moves. Along with that bomb from last episode, this is sure to keep things going now.

Especially effective in the case of Mio, who just rescued Tetsurou from her newfound aggressive rival. And was Mio... going commando on him!? Really turning up the heat on everyone except for Lemon-senpai, who was partly the architect behind this. Oh god, those are some intense situations they're in. The new rivals have to be aggressive though, because this is likely their only chance, so it's do or die for them.

Wonderful. I can't even believe J.C. Staff is the studio behind this. I am very impressed with Ano Natsu. Then again, this is an anime original story and not one of their novel adaptations.

Now its like a love heptagon! 2 More girls trying to enter these complicated love relationships. Wow, shit is going down now. Things sure is getting intense, too much dramaaaa. Kaito is going to break alotta hearts lol. Kaori isn't bad, started to like her already, too bad she never really had a chance. I'd prefer her over Kanna and both of them over Ichika tbh.

Mio wasn't wearing any pantsu... Great to see Mio and Tetsurou's side developing a bit, this is probably the most Mio has expressed so far. Oh yeah Mio show him what you got, there ain't no contest if she goes serious. So innocent and cute. >_>

Lemon... bravo.

I already had thought one time about it in the beginning of this ep or last ep/don't know anymore, but now that Mio said that Kanna was cute I thought she was into yuri. But then, and also in the last episodes it was made a bit clear, she suddenly jumped onto Tetsurou while the hyper girl was almost molesting him. You're making me confused kantoku-san...

And why oh why do so many anime have scenes like that, please stop the C-chan seeing B-chan confessing to A-kun scenes please~
