| the first few minutes felt very... off. but it pulled itself up somehow. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
| wow.. this is like a new revolution in anime. I shouldn't be comparing and just enjoy the show but of all the anime i watch for the past decade this is amazing. The love drama just gets better and better. And Kanna just Top my fav character. Gotta get that soundtrack of Kanna 'awakening' Ichika 〇 Maru! ∞/5 |

| Oh god, Kanna crying was just heartbreaking. Still rooting for Mio though, best girl of this anime in my opinion. |

One might even say this is a covert remake or sequel to Onegai Teacher (might as well had called it Onegai Senpai considering even most of the designs are the same, including Ichika and Lemon being carbon copies of Mizuho and Ichigo).Hakuromatsu said: Eckilsax said: the first few minutes felt very... off. but it pulled itself up somehow. Because this show is actually at its best when it's focusing on its slice-of-life aspects while ignoring its science-fiction aspects. Which begs the question why it was even included. Let's just say they ran out of ideas and leave it at that, since the alien thing was at least touched on more in Teacher rather than in ANo Natsu where it's just swiftly brushed aside. |

| @Ahri - I was being a dork for a poor choice of words - sorry. Please don't hold it against me. I still like the idea that "Love" and "Insane" might be related ;) Anyway...I not only don't have a problem with the "alien" aspect, but also don't see a problem with it having had only a marginal influence on events up until now. It's "background" - instead of being from, say, Wheeling West Virginia, she's maybe from somewhere in the Pleiades. And instead of dad flying in on a Boeing 747 to find her he'll be flying on in on a "Seven Sisters M45". Humans and aliens having romantic affairs in fiction has a VERY long history both in print and on the screen - I see no reason to start nit picking such things with a silly little love story. |

Let's just say they ran out of ideas and leave it at that, since the alien thing was at least touched on more in Teacher rather than in ANo Natsu where it's just swiftly brushed aside. I get the feeling the fact that Ichika is an alien will lead to a "protagonist vs supreme being" conflict, which will become a larger issue as outside forces will come to take her back with them when she doesn't want to. Also, throughout the series there's various times where she used alien powers to cure Kaito and teleport around to keep tabs on him, which some of it is important in the plot. To be honest, I think they have done a much better job of keeping the alien aspect of the story in the background than they did with Onegai Teacher. But near the end I do think that the conflict of her being Alien will take a more prominent role as she faces hard choices of staying on earth or going home. I have a feeling alien entities will play a part in this as the decision might become forcibly placed on her. We have already seen evidence of this conflict as Ichika struggled with her feelings for Kaito. I think Ichika being alien is better than just her being a foreign national because it adds more of a finality if she has to leave. In the dream sequence of this episode, Kaito realizes that if Ichika leaves it's permanent. There's no getting on a plane and flying to find her like you could if she was from western Canada. |
| Remon: "Oh, a cute boy. Want to go on a date?" Kaito: "Sure." Series over. That's how I would've done it. |
| I will always hate Kanna. This episode was perfect though ;~; |
| Aww. Wait, no! Fuck Ichika! How could you possibly be in favor of Ichika over Kanna after that? |
bassa_x said: Even if the blue mushroom loves the Megane more than the Alien, and I doubt that. The Megane loves the Alien and not the Blue mushroom I feel sorry for her but she had her chance for years now its too late. This is Life no one waits for you if you don't get on the train you will stay on the station. again sorry for the Eng. Agreed! And just because I can I will now say Sugoi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

AngelicFeces said: Fuck kaito, that idiot doesn't deserve kanna. Funny how I really like watching this show, but pretty much don't give a fuck about it's protagonist and his alien gf. I'm rooting for Kanna x Tetsurou. Though it probably won't happen. :(Aww. Wait, no! Fuck Ichika! How could you possibly be in favor of Ichika over Kanna after that? |
 Take a look at the world and laugh. -Januzs Korczak |
| Hmm, that was quite heart-warming. Well, at least the part with Kaito and Ichika was. However, I feel so so sad for Kanna. Her poor little broken heart! She has so much envy and fury in her, ugh. I want Ichika and Kaito to be together, but at the same time I want Kanna to be happy -shakes head- And Tetsuro is such a sweetheart for comforting Kanna like that! She should try to give him a chance instead. Then, what about Mio? -sigh- I wrote a complete review for this episode on my blog ^.^ |
| Well I suppose I was more invested in the characters than I realized. When Kanna got angry and exposed her heart at Ichika I was so sad. Seeing a character I was rooting for decide that she was going to accept it and have to move on hurts the soul. Anyway, props for a male character in a romantic anime for actually being assertive. And to the show itself for having a momentous confession before the last few minutes of the series. Even if it wasn't with Kanna. Damn this love train. |
| This episode made me cry, smile and cry-smile. |
Cynderella said: This episode made me cry, smile and cry-smile. Same here. This episode was so beautiful *.* The end of the episode made me cry a lot, Kaito x Ichika you are the best *.* |
| Ok this episode has never made me cry this much in anime since Anohana. This episode was just amazing! I really feel so sad for Kanna knowing that she will not get Kaito, even if she loves him ever since they first met. I mean I feel her pain. It is tough to let your crush be off with someone else and her reaction was perfect. You could not have felt sad for Kanna after what she had to face in front of Ichika. And they two are finally together. In fact, I actually cried more when they finally kissed. Those two were meant for each other. :) FINALLY!!!! |

kiltroutgore said: Personally I think Mio was crying not just because she believes this moment made Tetsurou/Kanna a possibility but also because she probably feels torn about putting Kanna through the same thing if it came to that. But Tetsurou also seems pretty torn too, I think his feelings are not as unshakable as they were at the start anymore. This triangle will be messy (unlike the very dull and very hopeless Kanna vs Ichika battle).Hmm, that was quite heart-warming. Well, at least the part with Kaito and Ichika was.

It would be great if the plot wasn't focused on them in the next one or two episodes (at least). But of course it's impossible I guess, because we 'so need' to know what kind of place Ichika is looking for on Earth or whatever... |

Leon-Gun said: Ten dollars say it's the lake where Kei and Mizuho met. Yeah, the more this show goes on, the more it makes me wonder if this is follow up to Please Teacher. It was never mentioned when it was announced if it was related or not. All the details are making me wonder if Ichika's related/or possibly Mizuho's daughter. Also the stuff hinting to Remon is having me think that she might be Ichigo under a different name and something happened between then. Especially with Manami asking why she's still in school and replying that she's "forever seventeen" and the fact she acts the same as Ichigo did in Please Twins. Not to mention the fact that she was using "keep moving forward" line in this episode that was repeated in Please Teacher. |

| I d'awwed. |
| I feel so bad for Mio :_____: |
| I liked Kaito and the alien kissing but i hope a happy ending to all chars. But this is impossible. :( Poor kana. |
 |
| Great episode. Really, it was. Just Kanna made me cry so hard. I love her so much, and I'm so happy she was able to give Kaito-kun, albeit painfully, to Takatsuki. It was so sweet and beautiful. Kaito and Takatsuki I really don't care. They're happy. Whatever. I just want Tanigawa and Tetsuro. Such a beautiful couple. The guy in the back just loving her without having to show it. I like Kaito's assertiveness though. He's strong, and he shows it. It's nice :) 5/5 |
| The best episode of the series IMO. Drama everywhere and not to forget about the epic ending with the kiss. |
 |
Ardamaeus said: Lol, so what sap is coming to Earth to ruin Kaito's and Ichika's newfound lurve? ^THIS. That's what I said. A premature confession will only lead to more drama for the couple. Kanna has the short end of the stick. Maybe Mio will turn bi and will get Remon? Lol.. but seriously. The fact someone's heart is not going to survive this particular summer hurts me where my heart should be. |

| Drama between Tetsurou / Mio / Kanna was the best. Finally Kaito manned up and confessed..... Awesome.... |

exs120 said: But so far, apart from having to heal Kaito with kisses (really?), it has been highly underutilized. I want more, but only if they're going to make use of its potential. IMO, the sci-fi element is just there to spice things up a bit and make the show feeling less cliche. It'd be nice if the writer puts more effort into it. However, it may just add another layer of complexity and end up having the plot losing its focus. This is not a tale of interspecies marriage across the galaxy; but love-circle between a group of boys and girls, with one of them happens to be an alien. |
frustrated said: When you originally tease watchers with the sci-fi element you can't just escape it because it's suddenly inconvenient. And making it less cliche? Did you not get the several times it's been mentioned the writer already played the alien card in Onegai Teacher? He just chose to use the alien main character again because he's already used it before, in other words he just lacked ideas.exs120 said: But so far, apart from having to heal Kaito with kisses (really?), it has been highly underutilized.

| Is this suppose to be the last episode .. Hope they don't come up with the "save the planet" plot again to end the episode . |
| This episode realy got to me. Not the big kiss between the 2 main characters but the emotion that kana showed. By the time kana was done giving the man she loved away i was realy affected, and then when she broke down infront of Tetsuro and he put his hand on her face, i fucking lost it. That moment made this show worth watching, and it made onigai teacher look like childs play. They have realy made a good anime here. If it has a good ending this gets a 10. |
 |
| Oh it's soo happy happy for Ichika and Kaito at the moment. This can't end good. Poor Kanna ; _ ; She deserves so much better. The relationship between Ichika and Kaito seems to rip every one else to pieces. Interesting. Lemon being the troll as usual with her camera <3 5/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| I used to kind of hate Tanigawa because of how she always tried to prevent Kaito X Ichika, but after this EP Tanigawa is now one of my favorite characters for what she did. |
| Tanigawa has some serious cajones. But still Ichika needs to die or leave. One of these girls are going to get hurt if she doesn't! |

He just chose to use the alien main character again because he's already used it before, in other words he just lacked ideas. Maybe he has a thing for romancing with an alien chick? Maybe he considers this as an improved version of his old tale? Maybe he wants to pay homage to his "Onegai Teacher" series? It's been 10 years since Onegai Teacher was produced. I don't see why he can't re-use his old concept again. The sci-fi element is not becoming inconvenient. It's been playing its role in the background. It's going to provide the final obstacle to their love affair, just like in Onegai Teacher. |
| My favorite girl in this series iis Ichika and will always be Ichika, so I was overjoyed at the fact that her and Kaito finally got together. That scene where Kanna was crying made me feel bad for her, but I actually felt worst for Tetsurou, not only seeing the girl he likes cry, but crying for another guy and professing her love for him. That must seriously hurt the heart. Add to that Mio, and I just felt worst, because she's a favorite also. I want an ending with Ichika x Kaito and Mio x Tetsurou. If it happens...I will love this anime..and it will be the perfect ending. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Oh gosh, I knew this anime was horribly underrated. 5/5 for this one. |
 |
| However the anime is going to end, Kanna will be on the losing end I just see no way that she can obtain what she wants; I mean, I like her and all, but still... |

HawthorneKitty said: However the anime is going to end, Kanna will be on the losing end I just see no way that she can obtain what she wants; I mean, I like her and all, but still... And that's why I won't consider the ending to be a happy ending, no matter what happens from now on. Someone WILL be lonely and sad in the end because of that alien, and I fear that will be Kanna. If not her, then it's Mio. Even if Ichika leaves, they'll still love each other 'til eternity and stuff. I bet they'll downplay Kanna's part from now on (they always pull this shit, heartless bastards) and focus on how Ichika has to leave soon. Of course she'd rather stay. But oh well, I couldn't care less for those two. Meh. |
