| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I like how time is passing throughout this anime. They're not dragging things out and they're not rushing the story either. Seems like Fumi is quite aware that something isn't right; she suspects Yasuko of being emotionally "involved" with someone else and she's pretty on the mark about it. Points to Akira for being truly awesome. She totally wins this episode for trying to support her best friend and her best school friend who are both getting shafted by the same person. Seems like she will be the emotional support for girls who are supposedly more mature and experienced than she is, ironically. Kyouko bursting into tears at the cafe was a pretty tough scene to watch. She seems to be putting up such a brave front, and it's kinda heart breaking when she realises that Yasuko is dating Fumi and she says that she totally misunderstood the entire situation. I like how she slowly starts to piece together everything. From seeing Yasuko blank her to run over to Fumi, and then realising that Fumi is always around whenever they have practice for the play, and then seeing the looks that the other two girls give one another. It must be pretty rough for her, seeing the person she loves and who rejected her actually in a relationship with someone else. Yasuko seems to be a bit of a jerk though, in an unintentional way. Maybe it's because she's so carefree about what she does that she doesn't think about other people's feelings and the consequences of her actions. I laughed a little when Fumi upped and left; I think Yasuko was expecting her to stay and watch her practise longer. Though was pretty romantic of her to come and go out for a walk with Fumi near the hillside in the night. Damn, she's pretty smooth! No wonder she has a million fangirls. Ten million points to this entire episode for showing a re-enacted scene from Le Petit Prince (which is an excellent book). |
| I'm with stupid. |
| Brilliant episode, you have to love the pacing! Points to the whole anime being realistic in depicting the girls' feelings. I also liked the scenes that weren't in the manga. The Little Prince is such a fantastic book and I think this scene contributed to the atmosphere. Although, I think we're missing some scenes. Nevertheless, this anime just makes me happy. Can't wait for more. |
| That play seems really DEEP for a gradeschool play. |
| Another great episode. I mean I love how the relationship are starting to progress slowly by slowly, and they are not rushing out the story. Even though I would really like to see Aachan's relationship with Kyouko progress a little more. I haven't read the manga but I'm planing too. after the series has ended and I'll do a comparison as I do with all Yaoi and Yuri series. Just for the fun of it. And It would be super awsome if Fumi chan found her true feelings for Aachan and once and far all ditched Sempai. I'm just speculating it's not like it's actually going to happen. :) And of course, the relationship between Fumi and Yasuko, is getting stronger. Becauase Fumi was jelous of the whole Fanclub Yasuko has. I mean what did you expect you are dating the most popular Senpai in school. So I think she was bound to have a fan club. I don't know why but Yasuko just seems to be more boyish to me every time. Maybe because I like Yaoi more than Yuri ? |

| This show is great so far. Main characters were pretty cute this episode. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Another excellent episode. So far the way that Fumi deals with her jealousy is refreshing and Akira is such a great friend. Im glad that the little prince scene was added.Though I wish they had animated more of the scene on the train when Fumi thinks about her first love instead of leaving her thoughts to trail off. Then again it probably will be brought up again later in another episode. |
| Really calming episode me likey Sent with Mal Updater |

tehnominator said: I think Akira is just a general all round amazing person. I mean, she cares about her friends, the both of them, so much that she'd go out of her way to make them comfortable. Even if she doesn't know how to comfort them, at least she's trying. And that is what making her ever more awesome. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Thats was a strong episode! Love this anime more and more with each episode! and IT IS UNDERRATED!:( |
 |
| Amazing! Akira is getting fairly confused as she get sucked into this web, I wonder who she'll end up with? |
    |
| Damn, Yasuko! A natural player, if I ever saw one. Despite the 'everyone is a lesbian' syndrome and the overthinking, I'm liking this series. 'they make such a racket about it because they don't really like her.' That's a great line! I was wondering a little why they are showing so much of the fanfare around Yasuko, and the last part really makes good on that build-up. |

Well, actually, so far all I see is the expected fangirl-ing of the most 'handsome' girl in an all girls school. Then there's three out of the rest who have the true feelings needed, if you understand what I'm trying to say. At least it doesn't have that syndrome as bad as Starwberry Panic did. :/ As for the episode, I agree with Tehnominator. It's like the more it progresses, the better it becomes. Each episode tops the last, and I simply love the pacing of it all. Really, I can't appreciate it enough. :D |
 |
| This episode has a nice pace, and it has an interesting relationship for these characters. |
| Those little papparazzi girls are creepy. I agree about what the blond was thinking. They make a ruckus because they don't really care. Yasuko is still my favorite, especially because of the scene with Kyouko near the end. |
 |
| Agreed that Akira is awesome. |
 |
| as an 11 episode-long series I felt the events are happening a little too fast but somehow they manage to keep an exact balance between a slow-paced series and something rushed. Gotta love the characters' expressions. Excellent job in the animation. And the OP is so warm and fuzzy (and even better if you associate it with hot-yet-calm yuri love). |

NeloDeath said: Watch Vampire Knight and tell me if it's hard to ruin the pacing of a romance series. I also don't understand the "cliché in a yuri way", because I don't see anything cliché in this series! Actually, it's more on the realist and unique side, I'd say.Alright episode but there isn't much too the show besides the characters and they're falling into cliches as things progress just in a yuri way. Pacing seems fine but it's kind of hard to ruin the pacing of a series like this. |
     |
| I just need to say I don't really like how phone conversations are handled, visually. The constant cuts are jarring enough without them also clashing with the style of the rest of the series. |

| aww, i feel bad for Kyouko D: popnstuff said: i think the same.Yasuko seems to be a bit of a jerk though, in an unintentional way. Maybe it's because she's so carefree about what she does that she doesn't think about other people's feelings and the consequences of her actions. |
| I liked Fumi's ponytail. |
| So, the only lesbian is Fumi, but still Sugimoto gets WAY too much attention from girls? LOL Well, that's weird :) I mean, is it SO normal to be attracted to a girl? No, no, I'm not bashing gay people, I'm just asking ;__; Ok episode. |
   |
| Nice episode. The whole tension regarding Sugimoto makes it interesting. |
| As others have said, I really love how realistic everything is in this anime. Everything from the insecurities, to the characters and their relationships. Because I am such a big Fumi fan, I really wish Yasuko x Fumi would work. I loved when Yasuko was playing with Fumi's braids, and the girl seems to make Fumi happy... which is all I want! But Yasuko seems to have this outlook on love that makes her seem immature. Like she had her heart broken by her first love so she moves through these relationships with ease, just enjoying the fun of it, and not really getting too caught up in it all. Aa is in a pretty tough position to be in, but a lot of us have been there before. That awkward "in the middle" person who has to try and keep things together. She's doing a pretty good job from what it seems, and is just an all around pure and nice person. 5/5 |
| Achan is a great friend <3 Also Sugimoto makes everyone in the school look like they all swing that way lol. Terrific pacing/ relaxing watch |
| I need insulin. This is why you can never go wrong with tall girls. |
| Man, I wish I had a friend like A-chan. |

No, no, I'm not bashing gay people, I'm just asking ;__; It depends. Being gay, bi, pan, demi, ace or anything is pretty common if people are taught enough about different sexualities. You also need to remember it's all girls school so there isn't any guys of their age. Sugimoto has pretty androgynous look so it isn't any surprise that all the girls have a crush on her. But that just a crush; or more like a fantasy, not a factor that would define their sexuality or wanting them to actually date Sugimoto. Anyways this series has so far made me feel really calm on the inside especially now when I have been really stressed out lately. +Akira is an angel |
 |
| honestly the show is decent but I think you yuri fans put way too much emphasis on the yuri aspects. I can tell what will realistically happen A-chan isn't interested in a relationship at all. Fumi, has a crush and all she seems to ever be around is girls so yeah, she is going to crush on a girl. Senpai is just confused after crushing on her MALE teacher and looking for a safe zone, it won't last. The blond chick who is engaged, well she already said it herself at the end of the episode she is just like all the other girls. Too many of you mistake admiration for love. So far, I see a bunch of girls who are in an all girl environment who develop innocent feelings for other girls I don't see any of these relationships at this point being serious in the long term. |
| Nice episode... A-chan is my favorite so far. |
| I wonder how far Acchan will have to go to support her friends, like, when will she reach her limit of dealing with other people's emotions. It's likely that she'll be strong enough to bear it on her shoulders the whole time, but it could be interesting to see if she ever falters. I suppose Sugimoto might have had a point, when she raised the first love argument. Each of the three girls have gone through their first love and suffered because of it, so it's not entirely wrong to ascribe Kyouko's emotional state to that. Still, I don't think she is fully aware of her effect on people, and that she might have more responsibility to bear. That's not to say she's responsible for other girls feelings, but she is responsible for her own actions. For example, she seems to enable and lead on girls too much. In a way, she really can be cruel, even when she mistakenly believes that she's being kind. Intention isn't all that matters. She isn't completely oblivious, though, which could be a good thing. I want to commend these past episodes for executing the concept of "normal" girls falling for a popular girl in a really solid way. It's understandable that Fumi has a hard time trusting Sugimoto, considering her terrible past experience. And how Kyouko has trouble accepting that Sugimoto doesn't like her, thus trying to come up with an explanation. |
| Well, yeah.. Sometimes watching two loving persons can be very sad.. Love isn't always light.. Sometimes it's tragic.. If girls are very loud about it.. it's not love, you say, Kyouko?.. Honestly, I'm more on the side of "true" love being heavy myself.. But there is no "true" love, really.. Some become more energetic with love.. Some inspired.. Some unsure.. Some anxious.. Some feel it the other way.. Not like I'm criticizing you here, or anything.. Just really saying, how things are, maybe, it appears to me.. I'm more on the other love myself, maybe on your side, really.. |
