exs120 said: AlexGK said: How is she not? Wanna denie shes agressive? Every time she is annoyed she gets violent. Wanna denie she manipulative - she pretty much steers the whole show and every character in it so far, exept maybe Aoki. She likes to play leader. What more do you need? The violence is purely for comedy. Never once has she been violent when things get serious. Manipulative, very unlikely. Just because she steers people a certain way doesn't make her manipulative. Manipulation implies personal gain in some way and she clearly is not getting anything in return for her advice. She is manipulative to herself though. I got to agree with you,if you pay attention to the way she acts you will notice she puts the others first and then herself.Yeah she keeps her emotions to herself because she is afraid not to hurt her friends feelings,we all wear a mask now and then and so does she.I believe that from the whole group Inaba has the most stress she tries to bury it all down and show to the others that she is strong(but in reallity that's not the case,she is getting more hurt than anyone else,so that's why the next episodes are gonna be extra-intreasting).Well to be honest she's my favourite of the bunch. |

Brilliant, the storyline this time has much more potential compared with the brilliantly executed previous arc"s, and i am a Iori x tai chi shipper but i don't mind if Inaba gets closer to Taichi for a little bit since she was the one who needed him the most (contrary to her claim about Iori being the one who presupposed taichi much more) it seem stat Taichi still has no idea 'bout this, but we'll see |

Good episode. I kinda guessed the new dilemma had to do with their desires. I don't know who to ship anymore. ;_; Inaba or Iori, I really don't care who ends up with Taichi even if I already read the spoilers lol. Aoki and Yui should be with each other for sure. xD My mom walked in at the part where Inaba was stripping for Taichi. LOL My mom's reaction: Why are you watching this? |

I wonder if Inaba is the one who will come closest to snapping in this arc. Great episode. |

Just because she steers people a certain way doesn't make her manipulative. Manipulation implies personal gain in some way and she clearly is not getting anything in return for her advice. She is manipulative to herself though. This is spot on. Is it? Remember who was the first one who grabbed Heartseed trying to force him to undo the switching? And thats not the point. Comedy or not, her way is the agressive way. Cant she resolve her temperament in some other way? Sorry, turn a blind eye if you want, but facts are facts. How is steering people not manipulation? Regardless of personal goals, meddling in other peoples buisness, or even worse, private life, is manipulation. Who made you GOD and gave you rights to decide for others?!? And, while you might think shes not acting for a personal gain, thats not the case. Taichi was leaning towards Iori anyways. Im pretty certain she pushed their relationship cose she wanted to see if they will be happy and if not Taichi would be free for her to make her own move on him. If Taichi and Iori would be happy with eachother, well there isnt much she can do about it anyway. Well, not without turning into complete bitch, which she isnt. So she was steering them for the sole purpose to settle her own feelings. For good or bad. |

This seems to be the Inaba-focused arc, which I'm looking forward to since she's an interesting character already. I totally LOL'ed at the punch. |

She is not the only one to attack Heartseed. Both Taichi (episode 5 at the hospital) and Yui (episode 2 after Inaba gets knocked down) attack him. In addition, as we see this episode, both Yui and Taichi are intrinsically aggressive. Yui beat up boys AND broke a table, and Taichi would clearly use violence to protect Iori. Because they want to protect their friends and/or others, just like Inaba would, does this make them aggressive? Saying Inaba is anymore aggressive than those two is wrong. As for the manipulation: they are all friends. Friends get involved in each other's lives. They advise each other on the best way to approach situations. Not all "manipulation" is bad, and none of Inaba's meddling has been negative for the others, only for herself. She does not force others to follow what she says, they are in control of their own decisions. The reasoning that Inaba pushed Taichi towards Iori for her own gain is no worse than Taichi being the White Knight for his own personal satisfaction. Any selfless act can be narrowed down to being selfish in some way. |

What a twist! Ah okay.. I’m…very happy. It’s no secret Freaky Friday flips are not my favorite thing. They had a great story with that, ran it through its course and now we’re going with the exact opposite of what everyone’s fear in the first half was; Where in the first the fears were that they would lose who they were, now there is a fear that they have no control over what they want to do. Every desire is pushed out, now they are too much themselves. How interesting that they’d go with this and it would go well with countering how the first half of the show went. This subconscious voice seems to be causing lots of trouble and I am just dying to see what kind of drama ensues in the rest of this show. I’d love to know who Heart seed actually is, and am kind of afraid that we will learn nothing about him. That wouldn’t be horrible. That’s not the focus of the show, Heart seed is just the one who puts things into motion. The kids could care less about who he is. They just want him to leave them alone. In that sense he’s fine but in my fanboyish anything that is sci-fi i want to know everything about you know. You put this great thing in the world and leave it unexplained. Sometimes thats great and sometimes it isn’t. But if i had one wish it’d be that Inaba and Taichi got together. Wait no. If I had two wishes, one of them would be that we find out who or what Heart seed is. But, poor Inaba. When she closes the door and slides down to the ground. She has no one to trust still even though Taichi’s offered, and there’s no reason why she should have just paired the other four off like that while leaving herself off like a fifth wheel, but that’s what happens when you don’t trust people. You force yourself to be alone and I hope Inaba overcomes this because she is just the best. Good on Iori with her decision about her and Taichi. I’m hoping we’ll get to see some more focus on Yui and Aoki here in an episode or two, we haven’t really learned all that much about Aoki and besides being the sometimes butt monkey, I like the kid. Boo new second Ed song. I liked the first one soo much but as I’m sure it will it’ll grow on me by next two eps, I’ll regret saying this. And it helps that the animation for it is great. So…liked first song better, but like this animation much more. Anyway next ep looks to be good. I’m super excited. I was little hesitant with calling this my favorite show for this season, but it has exceeded all my expectations and it’s just too damn good. |

I just pointed that you were wrong on that, its not like I disapprove being agressive when things are serious. Yui was only agressive when she had a right to be. Not that I like this about girls cose it not the way girls should act, but I wont blame anyone in such cases. And Taichi is a boy, I would find it weird if he didnt act agressive on Iori's behalf. Maybe we should call Inaba overly temperament in this case, though thats still an understatement. She DID get violent toward her frends and I dont like that way of expressing feelings, especially when being a female, sorry. I would only take comic relief as an excuse is she was a boy and was acting that way towards another boy. I dont like tsunderes, they just piss me off to no end, be it in anime or IRL. There is a fine line between advise and pushing. I think Inaba is crossing it and goes too far. Feel free to disagree. I dont want to go into Inaba's resoning, thats too deep and can be seen differetly by different people. I already stated how I see it. And again, feel free to disagree. |

oi oi oi oi! Inaba! Damn that Taichi he gets all the luck! At least the author can with different idea, having them switching bodies all the time will be boring quite fast. So if the first part was about Nagase, Inaba seems to be next. |

I already stated how I see it. And again, feel free to disagree. Maybe we are defining aggression from different perspectives (verbal vs physical). Inaba is definitely not physically aggressive, or no more so than her friends. Every situation where she has shown physical aggression has been used for physical comedy. When she punches Taichi or hits Aoki, it's because they were being stupid. There are plenty of series where girls are used as comic relief for hitting other characters (Taiga from Toradora = Exibit A, although a bad example because she's truly aggressive). If Inaba can be classified as tsundere on a scale from 1-10, I would say she's no more than a 3. Taiga is obviously a 12. Even looking at the serious Heartseed scene again, she only grabbed on to him and never threw any punches or kicks, as Taichi/Yui have done. Now I can see where manipulation can be perceived from her VERBAL aggression. She is very sharp with her words, but that's because she is VERY straightforward. She does not mince her words, which is refreshing to see in female characters. Since I would say she's borderline tomboy, she speaks and acts in a fairly non-feminine way, which may seem off-putting. However, I still think she is still not manipulating them. Although Inaba has trust issues, her friends do trust her and look up to her. The advise she provides is no more "manipulative" than the MC male in many shows encouraging their friends. They are in a stressful situation and need to work together. Inaba has just taken the role of vocal leader, and sometimes they may seem pushy, but not manipulative (in this case). So my thoughts: Inaba is not truly physically aggressive (only comically), can be verbally aggressive, but is not manipulative. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, but these are my thoughts. |

Heartseed continues to act as a pseudo-producer of some supernatural reality TV show. I'm glad they decided to change the game up a bit. It has quite a bit more potential (dramatic, rather than comedic) than the previous rules, depending on how the direction. Also, this new ending song lacked the powerful lead-in of the previous ending song, especially when placed after the preview. Can't say I listened to both in their entirety though. |

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: That Heartseed fellow is quite the entertainer. "I'm sorry from somewhere around the middle of my heart." Classic. I don't give a damn about the love-dodecahedron, but this is a very good series. No chance of dropping. |

I know there's masturbate in 4th episode and breast fondling in the first ep, but the fan service in this ep still makes me feel weird. Uncomfortable...somehow. Probably because of the lack of other fan service in the earlier episodes. The last few seconds make me feel that they are probably going to develop a bit on taichi. This episode is better than I expected. |

Oh wow, so instead of the body swapping, there's now the 'true desires being unleashed' thing happening. This is seriously gonna be interesting. Seems like Inaba's having it rough the most so far. Speaking of Inaba, it was so hawt she tried hitting on Taichi, she even took his hand and put it on her breast lmao. xD Yui smashing the table, holy shit. I'd be shitting my pants if I made her angry. Iori telling Taichi to not go any further in their relationship at the moment. However when Iori said 'This time... I have to do it right" it really got me thinking. Damn, Iori's probably the most unpredictable character in this Anime so far since she has multiple personalities. Seems like Inaba's going to be a shut-in, sacrificing herself for her friends? Can't wait for next week! 5/5 |

everything was all fine that out of the blue was the most wtf move ive ever seen, inaba was just going in for a second then out of no where she doesnt remember why she did it, Yui busting up table like the Hulk, kicking people in the face, Impulse yikes, "Not experiencing any extreme emotions or do everything you want without restraint" that second option sounds like a very bad idea, very very bad idea especially for the 2 dude of this haha Inaba still scares me then that banner well place to top it off O.O but she still alway to hard on herself she need to lighten up. Taichi got hit with the friend zone haha damn |

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I liked this episode a lot for showing out a nice perspective of the human nature, that of desires. However Heartseed made me RAGE so bad! Now when I see him appear I SO RAGE! I wanted to rip him apart. Why is not anyone talking to a priest to exorcist this CACA of a spirit. Come on now then? Seriously I knew it was him. I figured out it was emotional amplification and the impulses would be most potential from desires themselves. That being said this is what I though intelligently of the elements of this episode. About the beginning, I though it was nice to know the gang got 3 weeks off and was having fun in the spoiler About Inaba whoring herself and the fan service. Now I know Inaba was not at fault but then again she was for not suppressing her lustful desires. Particularly of being touched and losing her virginity in the middle of the room. If I knew better she Blacked out to lust. Although the start in the spoiler What was not proper is the following, Now as much as the cougar tease is quite popular the fan service in the spoiler About Yui raging out and finding out of Inaba about to have sex with Taichi. Quite simply in the spoiler About Taichi’s impulse to see Inori and his sister. At first it was quite strange in the spoiler About Taichi x Inori, their conversation in the spoiler About Inaba alone, quite the sad sight in the spoiler About Inaba’s conspiracy, Fujishima’s revealing and of a dangerous move. First of all Fujishima’s revealing in the spoiler While the best was Inaba’s conspiracy forming with Fujishima in the spoiler About Yui’s rampage on other male students, well quite the show in the spoiler -Use of excessive violence in attempt to prevent bullying. -Public nuisance -Public misdemeanor While it was nice of Aoki to save her, he might have been charged with: -Peace officer infringement –Being aggressive towards a Peace officer from a dangerous point Those are 2 serious shits man. Good thing they were warnings only and no charges were laid out. That’s some guts taking however it was too much IMO. He could have gotten in shit badly. About Heartseed’s appearance, I knew shit was going on. I knew it was him. I had some ideals as to what exactly. I NEVER though my rage would build so bad it was amazingly high. I wanted him dead! All this time in the spoiler Also his new game amplifies 10 TIMES the impulses and emotions or more. Who knows but that could be dangerous especially since he rewired shit to make your body move on impulse of that desire. About the aftermath of meeting Heartseed, quite hilarious was the GIF in the spoiler One of the other things that I liked about that part were some Iori poses in the spoiler About Inaba’s depression, truly the spoiler About Iori x Taichi take 2, well certainly that phone call had its charms in the spoiler Abut the new ED, I find the best of it in the following, For it shows that just one glimpses at reality outside through a window can change a lot. The ED represents to me a common problem in Japan. That of isolating yourself in your room due to various reasons and never being cared for if one’s parents work too much and pay no attention. Ultimately you become a shut down in a cubic place too scared of the outside and losing even skills needed with that outside whom is never good. The list shows MY thoughts of what it meant for me. But first of all it had a flow like the ED from this: Series had. I don’t know why but it did for me. The list shows of the elements and what I think of them.
About the preview, WOW SHIT STARTS MORE! The few things I can’t wait to see. First of all Inaba’s punishment on Taichi in the spoiler The part with Yui in the spoiler Looks like Iori is losing her temper in the spoiler It’s good that Aoki is enthusiastic in the spoiler BTW Image Stitches and Pic Dump in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/08/image-stitches-and-image-dump-of-kokoro.html Some nice stuff of Iori. GIFs with avatars in the Club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=475941&show=0#post1 Whom the all fan service stuff is in. Enjoy the club space. |

What I learned from this episode: 1. Inaba is sexually frustarted and wears adult black underwear (she wants to have sex). 2. Yui has anger management issues and appearantly apprenticed under Tomoyo Sakagami. 3. Iori is puerto rican in wanting to keep the status quo. |

Oh boy out of the frying pan and into the fire Heartseed sure loves his drama with that being said unleashing you're inner desires should make out for some pretty intense moments. glad to know this is shaping up to be one of the better series this summer ! |
Aug 11, 2012 7:13 PM
#86
I already feel like Iori and Taichi are falling apart. I mean Iori is too afraid of unleashing her deepest desire to the point that she doesn't want to be with Taichi. Either way I'm looking forward to Taichi and Inaban too. Some major drama is gonna unfold soon and honestly I can't wait for the next episode. |

Lelouch22 said: Great episode! The chemistry between Inaba and Taichi is as terrific as ever, which, by comparison, makes the small Iori x Taichi moments feel a bit forced and stiff. Thankfully, this remains a triangle, which, so far, is playing out much better than most. I gotta agree with you. I always felt that the Iori x Taichi moments were a bit forced. I'm trying to view this objectively, but since I'm a Inaba x Taichi fan...I'm unsure if I am. I really felt bad for Inaba this episode. I'm sure all she wants to do is protect her friends. She clearly knows how Taichi x Iori feel about each other, so her unleashing her desires would not be good.The most she can do is alienate herself so she doesn't express those desires, which I"m sure is what she's gonna do. She's obviously the type to bottle everything up inside..and when those things come out..others aren't always happy. I know there were some who were saying that fans of Inaba were probably going to dislike her this arc, but the only reason that would happen, would be if they don't really understand her in the first place. She might be pretty, but I like her as a whole, and I understand that like the others, she has some issues that she will have to deal with and I'll stick by her till the end : ) By the way, that argument about her been aggressive and manipulative..I gotta hand it off to whoever was defending her, cause you did a superb job..I couldn't have said it better myself. |

Can't really iterate this enough. I thought how the body-switching incident ended was genius, but this is on another level. Sigmund Freud is having a field day in this. Also, I can't really blame Iori for thinking of being distant from Taichi given the Freudian incidents happening, but her approach is really treading on dangerous territory. Good for her that Taichi is determined on making their relationship work, but for how long he can do that is another story altogether. |

At first, I'll admit, I didn't like Heartseed. He pissed me off, dunno why, but he did. Now, though, he's awesome. How can you not love this guy, this genious of mischief, this provider of priceless entertainment? Ya can't. And oh, Inaba. It's always the serious types who're the horniest. |

Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

It's official. This is the best anime to air since Madoka. There isn't much higher praise I can give. Usually the sudden swap between serious and comedy moments are done poorly and both end up being bad. This anime manages to pull both sides of the coin extremely well. The beautiful thing is that some of the comedic moments also highlight impending conflict.These sudden switches also kind of emulate the switching the characters face. Character interactions are spot on, although I tend to favour scenes with Taichi, Inaba and Iori. There were so many beautiful moments in this anime, especially Iori and Taichi's heartfelt conversations. What was also kind of painful was realizing that Inaba's show of solidarity is only still a facade and that she is still fighting her inner demons (this time probably her decision to keep Iori and Taichi together instead of going for what she truely desires). What were especially powerful where the two scenes where Inaba just closed the door on everyone else and we get to see her true feelings and the final scene before the preview where Iori says "I can't screw up this time." I love when an anime deals with the theme of identity in this manner. kelpso said: Loving both the opening and closing themes and enjoyed the fanservice. I predicted what Heartseed was doing as soon as Inaba did what she did. I also had a feeling too, but it was certainly confirmed the moment Yui smashed that table. |
