I didn't like this episode. Nothing really happened, and when this is the case, I just start stewing in all the constants: Sawako being too sweet at an almost retarded level; Shota saying dumb things that contradict what he's seen, heard, and said; Ryu being filthy hot; and art inconsistencies (Ryu look so different from one scene to the next).

Since it was obvious from last week that Ryu's brother was engaged, I was really hoping they'd move on to the next thing. Since we don't have Kurumi or Ayane being compelling with their dialogue, there's just no reason to sink into watching Sawako watch Chizu put on some pants, or have Shota ride a bike and say, "I guess he likes her."

Liked the episode; quite predictable, and terrible animation and art downgrade but really nice. I like the manga version more, but it came out nice.

I don't like Yano and Joe either D: Not a good couple!

Sawako's crying moment moved me completely.. poor Chizu, poor Ryuu... It's really sad!

All right episode. I felt pretty sad though even though I already predicted it would turn out like this.

I didn't like this episode, because nothing much has really happend.
I think the whole Chizu x Tooru x Ryu thing should take only one episode. I'm a bit dissapointed, cuz it's going too slow
and there's only 5 episodes left...
Hope they make it at least to chaper 34 in manga. I'm really looking forward to see
or hope it will have anime sequel soon.

I only cried at this cause what Chizu said about seeing Tohru with girlfriends but not expecting it to go further than that reminds me of my current situation, and i'm having an emotional day. XD

QUALITY animation. x'D

Yano's nightwear was hot.<3

Tohru's fiance hasn't done anything wrong, there's no point in hating her :/

well, I prefer YanoxJoe over YanoxPin, in any case, which is a much more popular pairing. :|

Godddd there's so little left, I really don't know how they're planning on wrapping this up unless they make a second series :/

It would feel rushed if they tried to condense the whole arc into one episode. I was counting on two or three episodes. Besides, if you feel things are slow, the blame should fall on Sawako and Kazehaya. They're the ones dragging the show anyway, lol. XD (Admittedly, I've long ago grown tired of KazeSawa, so this arc sure is a nice breather from their all their ridiculous pussyfooting.)

They could have cut down on the idle moments in this episode, though, but I'm guessing what they're highlighting in this episode is the play on emotions. As the case with the previous episodes, when things become dramatic, the world stops and nothing happens. ~
Hope they make it at least to chaper 34 in manga. I'm really looking forward to see
or hope it will have anime sequel soon.

I.G. obviously won't be able to cover the last two.

You forgot to add no sense of showing Katayama other than introducing her....she just made some people emotions for her good or angry like me...why? You should know what a flake is noteDhero but once again brownie points to you for pointing out the negative aspects of this episode.

aww poor chizu =[ i knew ryuu's bro would come home with a fiance/wife. this episode wasnt the greatest of the bunch. not much happened. you could some this whole episode up in 1 sentence. the next episode preview looks good. to me it looks like when chizu gives the gift to ryuu but he wants to pay for it and thus drama.

Well, they hinted at her last week, and she is integral for Chizu getting over Ryu's brother, so she had to be introduced. If they try to make a bigger deal out of her character, then that's where fault may lie. I don't really see why she should make anyone angry. She didn't do anything wrong like Ume. Personally, I like her because she'll only make it easier for Ryu to score. I didn't really like the idea of Ryu having a brother in the first place, but if it's going to develop Chizu and Ryu's relationship naturally, then I'm fine with it.

And who's a flake?

Very good episode. And I don't think things are that slow. Precisely because it's dragging at times, this anime is what it is and the characters grow on us. Gee, and I thought I can't stand slice of life because everything's slow. o_o

Poor Chizu though, that was harsh >_< And I almost cried when Sawako was crying for her best friend. ;_;

Katayma's personality is a flake in comparison to the one of Chizuru was my point sry if I expressed myself wrong. I do agree with you about this was a good thing to progress the relation of Ryuu x Chizuru if it makes it stronger at least.

Nope, you're not the only one. Nearly identical except for the hair color and that he always seemed to have a girlfriend in tow.

I thought the episode was fine. Just a necessary step. For Sawako to be useless in this situation was to be expected, but Yano was a bit surprising. In hindsight, Ryu probably should've told Chizu about the fiancee, but it was clear that by telling her to stay away from his house, he was trying to protect her (even if it was only delaying the inevitable heartbreak). No more Yano x Joe talk please. Even if it's to say "NO", let's not even acknowledge the possibility of that ever happening. LOL.

usually i like sawako, but the crying scene bugged me … yeah, sure she was bummed about chizu, but it seemed like she was more hung up on her own ineptitude at friendship. "i just didn’t know what to say … what are friends supposed t o say at a time like this”, blah blah blah … get over yourself, sawako! if it really bothers you that much, then do something. the sawako we know and love is all about clearing up misunderstandings, right?

I can understand how the art may bother people yet, personally, the art didn't really bother me at all. Overall quality was still pretty good compared to some animes.
However, going through the posts some scenes seem very pointless. Normally i am okay with some moderate filler stuff, but this arc is going to have to end soon. Might have a rushed ending.

And what exactly the misunderstand you are talking about? There is no misunderstand in here and specially this is not her own problem but her friend's problem. It is not like she can just go ahead and tell Chizu to forget about Tooru and start everything all over again with Ryu. Even Sawako herself just learn about how it feels to love a person.

sawako told yano that felt really bad for chizu, but she didn't say anything to chizu about it..... when you don't tell your friends how you feel, that can cause misunderstandings.... sawako usually doesn't have a problem saying what she thinks. that's all.
i just thought that scene was overdramatic.

I don't really see by saying something random to Chizu will make situation better. I agree that Sawako is the type that saying what she thinks but she doesn't always say something without thinking either. Wasn't this the problem in the rumor arc which she didn't say what was on her mind at the beginning? I think she did try hard but just don't know what/how to say to Chizu only to end up upsetting herself instead for being useless as a friend. Was it overdramatic? Yes it was but I didn't think it was wrong either.

Nice, so many "Owned" moments in this episode. I kinda liked this one although not the best because it didn't focus on Sawako and Kazehaya. I wonder when will they focus on Kazehaya and Sawako when there's only 4 episodes left.

Okay so first "owned" moment was when Ryu was about to tell it to Chizu but suddenly Tohru showed up, lolol Ryu got owned. Second "owned" moment was when Chizu thought that she can only hog Tohru only for herself but moments later, this new girl showed up claiming to be the fiance of Tohru, lolol Chizu got owned. Don't worry man, Ryu's still there.

ALSO, WHAT THE FUCK? TOHRU'S APPEARANCE AND RYU'S ARE LIKE OFF THE CHART. They're brothers? More like the parents got one of them in an orphanage. HE LOOKED LIKE KAZEHAYA, LOL.

I quite liked the episode. I was kind of 'meh' about the fact that the strongest female in the series biggest ambition was only to get married, but I thought about it more and it's not as bad as it originally sounded, I guess. Kimi ni Todoke played that better than most anime series would be able to, and Chizu definitely has more ambition then that. ^_^ Other than that, I'm still rooting for ChizuxRyuu.

RYU'S BRO IS HOTT.
Had a lot of good laughs during the first part, then I felt so bad for Chizu. When Sawako started to cry I got those goosebumps and teary eyed. I'm glad Ryu is there so he can be Chizu's hunksickle.

I still want to her in a skirt too though, btw.

Yes he definitely is. :D He looks similar to Kazehaya, only with brown hair.

The episode was so sad, almost felt like crying. It was obviously that this was gonna happen, but still very sad. It was a total shock for Chizu.

I hope Ryuu will confess in the next episode...
