I know i shouldn't complain about realism in animes but cant help it in this case~ Otherwise, the story seems to be progressing nicely Are there some special sort of lesbian girls' schools in real life to which you make such a comparison? Face it: there are lesbians in all schools, everywhere. And whaddya mean so many lesbians? Fumi's the only lesbian in the anime. I see a lot of bisexuals though, (I mean that cousin chick, she was just experimenting, so I don't even think she's bi, just horny and bored), that and from what I read on sites about the other characters: Anyway, how is a small handful of girls who like girls an overwhelming amount? I went to a run of the mill, every day, normal, boring public co-ed high school school and I had at least 1 lesbian friend and five bisexual female friends all in the same year as I was in (that's not even including the poofs and bisexual guys either). That's also not even including all the gay girls who went to private schools who I also knew. Now look at that, 6 girls who liked girls in real life versus Aoi Hana's fictional 3. Wow, how unrealistic of Aoi Hana! If it has done something unrealistic, then it would be underepresenting the actual numbers of gay girls in real life, especially in all girls' schools. It seems you don't know any gay people, because as far as school life is concerned, it isn't uncommon. I gotta know... do you think it's fabulous? |

greenmush said: argh glad they hide that scene was kinda freaky for me As I suspected: a 15 year old boy. Nothing is wrong with girls kissing mate... they do it more than you think. Excellent episode, yet again. I think some people are not aware that this anime also has the K-ON! passage of time: weeks are flying by but we're not seeing it. I think it's a smart move though, since showing us day to day development would simply be tedious. So the time skips are nice. I think a lot of people think that Fumi and Sugimoto just began dating, but if you pay attention to the events happening around them, a lot of days have passed in between their first meeting, their trip to Fujigaya and their first date and then their first kiss. The drama festival I think serves as an "internal clock" for the series, so we can get an idea of how far things are going. When the anime just started, the club was taking in new members. By episode two and three, they are getting the script together and working on getting cast members. Episode 04 onwards: I doubt that a drama festival put on by the elementary, middle and high schools would take like two weeks to put together, so I say, roughly, that a couple of months have already passed since Fumi and Akira first met on that train for their first day at school. So if you think about it, chronologically, Fumi and Yasuko are moving at a pretty normal pace for two people in a relationship. It hasn't been, "Okay, I know you for three days--let's make out now." @iamjoe: Make love, not war. |

I know i shouldn't complain about realism in animes but cant help it in this case~ Otherwise, the story seems to be progressing nicely I have to agree. I mean, there are a lot of bis/homos IRL but in this anime it seems like hetero does not exist. It seems unrealistic that it goes so smoothly with the love etc. I hope you understand what I mean XD I thought and wanted it to be more drama and not this easy loveydovey. But good for them :) (but not everyone) |
| Chapel = symbol for something? Anyone with me on this? I absolutely love that the seemingly secondary characters are being used more. I love anime with lots of characters. And of course in the last discussion I mentioned wanting to see more males to make it seem more realistic, and here they come! lol. A-chan's brother is a creeper. Yasuko is my favorite so far. I hope she breaks a lot of hearts. I want her to be mean for some reason. In a weird way, not seeing their first kiss made it more intense to me. |

| I love how Japan makes lesbians look ok if there is a refined attitude around it. Simply fantastic kiss at the end. |
 |
| I liked that they didn't show the kiss :) |

 |
| aaaw, i wanted to see that kiss too D: |
| Watched episodes 1-3 in a row. Time really flew by. I loved these episodes. They're slow, but in a good way. Well, not really THAT slow. The sudden confession was ''Wut?'' and dat kiss was a little bit too fast in my opinion. But still, episodes 1-3 = 5/5. |
 |
| Nice episode, I was hoping to see that kiss. |
   |
| So they kissed at the end.. pretty fast development of their relationship, in my opinion. |
| I love how Fumi admits that she was not emotionally prepared for that... xD |
| Dat first kiss. |
 |
| My god Tall girls kissing I no longer see how it's possible for Fumi and Akira to get together This tall girl action is great (thankfully I'm taller than both of them) Or.......wait, does anyone know their heights? I need to make sure.....lol |
| oookay, i wanted to watch more explicit scenes in shoujo ai/yuri genre (in general)... now here it is. oookay. wuthering heights. HEIGHTS. 'tall girl action'. lol. |
| That moment between Yasuko and Fumi in the library at the end was absolutely perfect. Yasuko is quite the gentleman and charmer at that. I wonder if that teacher has a thing for her though, he seemed more enthusiastic about his conversation with that student the moment her name was brought up. |
 |
| I love the group date part lmao. Akira's oniichan was really clingy but they are so adorable. Akira even cried. lol. Ah, the kiss scene |

| Good episode.. I was hoping to see that kiss xD |
| Ok I am sorry but that is so a dude in a dress (just kidding I know its a girl but still... she looks like a guy!!!!) |

| What was that flashback about with Kyouko? My first guess is that she has abandonment issues, but maybe I'm taking it too literally. Acchan seems to be struggling because she wants to be more independent. Though her brother is certainly over the line, he might be symbolic of all the things that keep Acchan tied down. She also seems to be growing more aware of the things that are hidden from her, like she might eventually figure out Yasuko and Fumi's relationship and also connect the dots about Yasuko and Kyouko. I liked that brief scene where Fumi rearranged her room, as if she was taking the first step in moving on from her crush on Chizu. A kind of fresh start by a change of environment. I see your point, and the school play is definitely a clever way to convey the passage of time. But why would Fumi wait so long to quit the basketball club? I think the time that passed between their first date and the kiss in the library couldn't have been more than a week. I'm totally buying their chemistry, but it will feel fast no matter what; we just went from confession to first kiss in just one episode, a quarter way into the series. |
| the only thing that kinda bothers me about this is that the episodes are so forgettable that it took me less than an hour to forget the whole episode. |
  |
| Who is that guy for Kyouko?.. Ah, an arranged marriage.. Understood.. Eh?.. But this arranged marriage isn't actually arranged marriage?.. Because Akira said that some are "changing" arranged husband often as gloves.. I'm a bit confused, if it's just a rumor, or indeed bureaucracy works like that in their school.. I wonder, what Fumi likes to read, by the way?.. As we often see her with book.. Just diligent student?.. Or something else?.. Diligently studying is important as well, if that's the case.. But not sure, what she's reading.. Oh, Fumi got invited for a date.. We don't know much about other girl for now.. But I think it's a good chance for them both to learn more about each other?.. And then look, where to head next with their relationship?.. Group date is important one for Akira as well.. Well, Akira's brother is truly baka.. Man, she's grown up.. Let her have her relationships.. Unless you want her for herself and are siscon.. But maybe you really are just overprotective.. Hard to say, what I think about Fumi's and Sugimoto's relationship.. I'm worried, if Sugimoto will abandon her as well as others before.. Especially as we kinda know from Opening, and focus on characters - that probably the end pair is Fumi and Akira?.. So probably Fumi's relationship won't go well, for one or another reason.. I would totally be fine, though, if it wouldn't be the case.. And if Fumi end up with Sugimoto instead.. But low chances, I guess.. |
| Oh, a date for Fumi and a mixer for Akira. One was more successful than the other, hehe. Sugimoto and Fumi got really close this ep, to the point that they kissed, and of course, the show didn't want to show it, in this ep at least. Typical. I wonder what was going through Akira's mind seeing Sugimoto and Fumi together like that. |
 |
| I'm kinda shocked that Fumi's first kiss wasn't with Akira. I'm not a fan of Yasuko. She's too much like a man. |
 |
| I can kind of see why the score for this is rather average at a low 7, it's not what it initially seems or at least not what I anticipated it to be. Still very good so far, just a tad bittersweet as a viewer with some fairly nuanced drama and a wide range of potential shipping. Not too many refined girls love shows like this anymore. |
