| Meh sucks for Yamazaki, hopefully everything turns out good for him later. :/ |
 |
| Well, looks like they got footage for a "bad ending" of their game. Poor Yamazaki. |
| oh yamazaki!!! i never would have guessed!! |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| After 5-8 episodes this show is finally back on track. Hope it stays that way 'till the end. |
| Seven years of power, the corporation claw The rich control the government, the media, the law To make some kind of difference Then everyone must know: Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow... |
| This one was really sad, I understand Yamazaki's reasoning but it's still sad |
 |
| Fast episode really great pace in this one, though the whole episode was rather dramatic with his father and that girl, hmm I do hope we'll see that girl once more! Lets see what's next! |
 |
Hexari said: I know why he did it, but I wanted him to fight for Nanako and his current life. Agreed. This was sad :/ I hope that at least Satou and Misaki will end up together. Also, just watched the preview...it's Hitomi agian! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO D: |
 |
| The amount of cringe is indescribable. Arguably the most difficult series to rate... Some characters are lovable, others are irritating. |

| well it is kind of sad if yamazaki will go.. :/ poor sato he will be alone from now :/ btw it is kind of funny when watching the scene when they are playing snowball.. idk why -_- but in the end.. well it is kind of awkward and kinda sad :/ what are you doing yamazaki? well it is not really bad actually.. afterall that girl is not love him either.. :/ btw did I see boobies with nipp*** in this episode? :D |
ITIaster4 said: yakyuu-addict said: i dont because i think nanako likes him too and suddely he is making fun of her after she respected himI guess that was a pretty good way to sever ties with Nanako. Well that was the whole point. He wanted her to dislike him so that he could cut things off with her easier. I bet he didn't even think she liked him like that either. Tough shit for Yamazaki. The fact that he was able to continue on with it after she basically confessed to him was crazy. Proves just how tough the guy is. It's really too bad he has to go through this shit. |

YAMAZAKI!!! |
| Yamazaki is a great character and I loved his idea of "yolo it" with his eroge collection, but I don't like the way he handled Nanako's response and confession. It's going to be awkward if their eroge is a hit and he can stay after all, then he just pretty much missed his once in a lifetime opportunity with Nanako :x. |
 |
| Wow, that was a great episode. So many feels for Yamazaki. It must've been real tough to accept that his lifestyle had to totally change for his family. That part with Nanako was really good, too. Cool guy, Yamazaki. |
| Heh Yamazaki knows better than to think that things would work out. After all, that's all he's seen in his life so far. Why wouldn't he think that it would end up with him going back to the farm. I probably would have felt the same way but he was man enough to go through with it. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| This episode was so depressing. There was this cold winter mood. Satou reflexion on life was really depression. Yeah, life is absurd. So Yamazaki will leave. What he did to Nanako was just... This is the kind of cringe I can't stand. It would have been less cringe if she would just have been disgust and leave, but to admit her feeling and him just break them. He was really a douche on that one. Yamazaki, a man that you must never let him drink xD |

He did that shit because he CAN'T see her anymore. You think he can inherit that farm and marry any bitch out there? nah bro Either way, you guys are acting like they're soulmates or something. I really doubt he'd have the time to come out and see some COLLEGE GIRLFRIEND when he's supposed to be running the farm. Hell, I'm not even sure if they were even in a relationship anymore. I can't remember. If they weren't, that makes the fact that you guys can't understand why he did what he did even more ridiculous. He's not an idiot. Yamazaki is a badass. He did that shit for a REASON. This. Yeah, I'm of the opinion he did the smart thing. Yamazaki knew he wasn't even her first choice by that point. Satou knew this as well after overhearing the girls gossip the one episode. Women sometimes like to keep guys like Yamazaki as their emergency support. I got the feeling that's all that their so called relationship ever was. I guess for Yamasaki he knew it had to come to an end. So he'd take one chance to be a badass and push her buttons on purpose. It was his way of breaking free of any lingering doubts. +1 = 5 Yamazaki became my favourite NHK character after his 'otaku reveal' stunt. An average man, such as Satou, would've given into his desires and fucked a girl such as Nanako silly if - in a room with tentacle rape on a monitor - she continued to express her affections openly. But Yamazaki was smart enough to know that, had he gone with the flow, it would've only caused more misery further down the line. It isn't as if a new relationship can survive long-distance - especially when Yamazaki was moving to the country and his girl loved the city life. Satou wasn't able to laugh because the situation wasn't funny in the least. Had Nanako gone apeshit the moment she saw Yamazaki's nerdy smut collection, it would've been funny... but once she was willing to go out with him, in spite of his weirdness, it became painful. Also, you guys complaining about Yamazaki's handling of the situation in the anime should take note of what happened in the manga: they had sex and, when Yamazaki was leaving at the train station, he saw Nanako kissing another girl; her declaring herself to be a lesbian (I think, anyway). Yeah... Wait what. I just finished reading this part in the manga, it happened exactly the same way as in the anime... or maybe I am missing something. |

Yeah... mmmm STILL it is the easy way out even if it is with good intentions(the road to hell is pavet with good intentions), to just be straight en honest(and demanding it back by confronting her with his own points shall we say )is how you show you got BRASS BALLS because I rather be sad for the right reasons then sad for the wrong reasons and btw IF the game works out he will stay,doesn´t that undermine his own reasoning for reacthing that way ? this is by the way also only my opinion nothing more :) anyways srry in advance for any grammer faults it has been a while typing engris hahah |
| Aww... Yamazaki~~~ Q.Q Holy shit, I never expected Nanako to say that though O.o Her reaction was very cute though xD LOL and Yamazaki's reaction was even crazier xD Oh and then that punch was always unexpected :o I hope Satou tells her the truth somehow. |

| man devo for yamazaki |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Yamazaki is pretty epic. . |
 |
| Yamazaki is a real man.. I understand the hardship and obligation of a child has when born into a farming family from other anime and manga. It's not so simple to just fight for your own future like ordinary people. Still Nanako is damn pretty.. this is such a bummer. |
| Yamazaki proves yet again that he's the best character in this anime. |

He did that shit for a REASON. It took all the courage he had to leave the one girl he liked. Yamazaki decides to cut their friendship and avoid any lingering feelings with her. Although Yamazaki was a bit surprised that Nanako said she liked him. Pretty sad ending for Yamazaki, his life is over, and he's forced to take over the farm. |
 |
| dam I feel bad for the poor bastard even if he is crazy I hope it somehow works out for him I want to soo Satou and Misaki kiss!!! soon please????? |
 |
| Yamazaki - what a retard XD |
| Damn... that was equal parts hilarious and depressing... Yamazaki is a real bro, to be honest. He doesn't HAVE to return home and take over the family ranch just because his father can't tend to it. That's not his problem, and his family would find a way to make do - even if it meant selling the ranch. He's doing it because, ultimately, his family is more important. People in this thread are heavily underestimating him. |

| Yamazaki <3 ;-; One of my fave episodes probably. I don't even know why exactly. |
 |
| Dang, that episode really made me feel for Yamazaki ... having his future planned out like that by all his relatives >_< No wonder he tried to escape it all ... haha, getting drunk and eating pizza to fuel creativitiy?! I like it :P I honestly didn't even remember Nanako existed ... dang, what a way to go D: She was fine with his initial confession, only to have him press her and ask if she was crazy ... ouch >_< Well, hopefully they can focus on the game and have it do well! Seems like Yamazaki's really counting on it. Pretty tough to have his family count on him like that after his father collapsed ... dang, is that turning out to be a theme or what? :S |
| Whoa, Yamazaki, he actually did something like that... I can't help but feel sorry for him due to the circumstances he's under, and what he had to do. My opinion of him changed entirely...! A part of me's still hoping that they'll reconcile or get together in some way, but that seems unlikely at this point. |
 |
| yamazaki has it tough too. this anime excels at making me feel like all is lost, and the world is coming to an end. damn, i fucking love it. |
 |
| the characters are so stupid it hurts, but the way the show is it really works and hits home in a way... you definitely feel for them in there situations, poor yamazaki |
| Yamizaki is a dummy but still I really hope he eventually tells Nanako the situation and she forgives him :( |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Nanako just became the best girl in this train-wreck of a show, finally someone is actively doing something like punching these idiots in the face! :D |
| I actually really liked Yamazaki in this episode |
 |
| Ah that's more like it. Yamazaki still as savage as ever, but he got some decent development this episode. |
| Tough man Yamazaki, he's ready to give up his otaku life, they're heading a better direction since they're so determined to finish to game. |
karasawa said: ASHGARY said: poor yamazaki. Yep, what an idiot. She sort of took it well and then he got really weird and blew it. It was winter and Misaki was still wearing that sorta baseball jersey top thing that she always wears. Wouldn't she be cold? I hope her always wearing the same outfit (except for the pink dress when she met Satou's mum) has some story significance, or it's just lazy animation. ^ this, I've noticed it as well. Don't forget about her short bluejean skirt as well... o_o |
