Pure joy. The dodging of punches from Tsubasa as if she were in DBZ, the hilarious chase scene, standing down Mahou. Great scenes. Never underestimate the stupidity of the crowd. Glad she's befriended so many ppl now. Eventhough some of it was through fear.

She finally shows her true self to her class xD. Things have turned out pretty well for her. Also, that black haired girl isn't so bad afterall.

Starting to get tired of how they introduces each character in the same way, I mean I get that it sort of goes with the theme of the show but it's getting way repetitive.

I'm glad we're resolving all of these totally generic shoujo conflicts almost as soon as they start. I was really worried that Yukino's problems with Maho and Shibahime were going to turn into grueling arcs.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for this new girl? She even made Miyakawa miss the other girl's apologies. This felt like it was rated PG...
3/5 for the episode.

Sometimes, older anime can really make me laugh my head off, and I mean in a good comedic way. That hallway chase scene was pure gold. Moral of the episode? Don't piss her off.

Yukino is indeed great. Even if episode 9 looked not as good as the rest of the series so far, this episode (and her) just nailed it again.

They ended up handling that much better than I expected. Tsubasa's part actually seemed like the stronger of the two in this episode. It led to Yukine gaining some friends, and the chase scene was pure hilarity. I'm glad the conflict was resolved quickly though.

As for Maho, I don't really have much to say. Many teens are way too concerned about what others think of them, and in that sense the continual lamenting of lack of popularity was annoying, but in the end I still think there's a bit of potential there. And, again, I'm glad that was resolved quickly.

I'm satisfied.

Being honest with your self releases a burden something equivalent to taking the world off your shoulders and in turn everything feels like it will work out. Great core theme in this episode, love how all characters were tied into it in their own respectable way. Also that last five minutes was elder god tier. This show really is a gem.

In the end I like Maho. Yes she was a bitch at the beginning but that was understandable. I didnt felt like I dislike her, I pitied her more than that. Just like with the Ego problems with Asuka, you understand why she act like that so you cant be mad at her.

It hurts doesnt it? Really hurt... Envy, jealousy, a culmination of your anxieties. In case of Maho it was easy to overcome; She realized that it was all for nothing, she didnt really want to end up like that but it was just inevitable. In Shibahime's case its even kind of unfair. However we the viewers understand that Arima had no care for other poeple until he met Miyazawa. Still, Shibahime knew that it was all nothing. Her care for him was never meant to be because he didnt like her. In both Maho and Tsubasa's cases they came to the realization that there are un lucky stuff that just came to be and you have to live with. If youll try to change it then youll just cause more pain so at some point you have to just deal with it and move on. Maybe someday youll have a second chance, but right now instead of causing pain for everyone you should just learn to live with it. Maybe even get something good out of it: Maho became friends with Miyazawa's group and Arima finally started to notice Tsubasa's feelings.

tl;dr : Sometime you just have to live with misfortune. So, atleast, try to look at the good side of it all, and maybe you'll actually gain something even better.

Wow, lots of development packed into one episode. I'm glad they're investing time into all these supporting characters as it gives the show more flair, and this all makes up for the cliche love triangle stuff that was introduced in the last episode. This show isn't disappointing at all so far.

And ohoho did Maho say she loves Miyazawa? :D Don't care what anyone says - I love gay characters and I'm claiming her as one of our own.

I like that they were able to keep things moving along with a lighter tone this time around. Not especially funny compared to some of the other episodes.The chase scene was really well done.

Asaba treasuring a picture of Arima? Gaaaaaaaay.

I just realized the English dub voice of Tsubasa was also Chisa in Comic Party. She was much less annoying in that role. And then I went to her MAL page and...shit, she's Amy Rose in Sonic X too. Why does she adore obnoxious roles?

Probably the best episode yet.

Maho took a beat and the things have normalized for Miyazawa.Thought Mahos characterization was pretty interesting.

I also immensely enjoyed the interaction between Miyazawa and Tsubasa,the chase was priceless.

And I feel kinda sry for latter one,circumstances are tough on her.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That chase scene was hilarious!

Miyazawa can pretty much handle all her problems by herself, it is good to see that.

I still don't like maho, although it is easy to understand why she behaves like that after seeing flashbacks, maybe it will change later. She had a tough emotional time for sure.

Another really solid episode. Miyazawa sure is strong for what she did and the way she acted towards Maho and that other girl as well. The sequence that showed Miyazawa running to catch her was hysterical and really well made, awesome slapstick humor in this show. Everyone got development so I am glad, the soundtrack was also well made in this episode, though I did notice it as much as the previous episodes. Overall, a very solid episode. I hope it stays this strong.

Really good episode, tied up some things and I genuinely laughed a few times. Like when Arima got that childhood photo of Miyazawa and a toilet flushing sound effect played, or Miyazawa chasing Shibahime around campus. Good shit

That was really nice. I loved how "Yukinon" resolved her conflicts and stood up for herself, and the chase scene was absolitutely hilarious! The last talk with Maho was really sweet too, I enjoyed her smile in the end. Looks like the purpose of these episodes is fulfilled (Yukino now has friends), and we'll see more of her relationship with Arima again.

that was such a great episode! i've had the show paused for a bit because i was too focused on playing games, but wow! i always forget how fantastic the animation quality is, and everything in this show is so much less predictable than so many other things i've watched (in the best possible way). since this arc is resolved now, i have to wonder what comes next. i have faith that arima and miyazawa can make it through whatever comes their way but i really hope they survive the rest of the series and get to be together :( i haven't been spoiled on anything but i know anno left gainax in the middle of this show's production and i've heard there was a noticeable shift after.

The two conflicts with other girls from last episode are resolved. Yukino takes the high road (mostly) and gets the better result for it. In the end, it is not all that surprising, after all, she still has all the talents that made her top of the roost in the first place: The others have picked a fight they cannot win. The best part was probably the confrontation with Arima at the end, where we learn a bit about him and his less than perfect social understanding.
Still, this is probably the first episode I am not totally enthusiastic about. Yukino is coming over a little too perfect, and the other two girls a little too one-dimensional. What really reeled me in so far has been the depiction of Yukino and Arima’s relationship, which is the 10/10 part of the series. However, they are safely together now (and going into crisis mode right away would feel cheap), so there needs to be something else happening.

Ah, loved how everything turned out. And I especially loved Shibahime's friends. They're so nice! Yukino's first true friends ^^

Man, pretty sad to see how dense Arima was towards Shibahime. I understand her feelings. Glad that it was all resolved though.

Maho turned out to not be that bad after all. Technically, she's really similar to old Yukino. They're going to get along just fine.

I like it when these characters get the treatment they deserve for whatever attention seeking method they try to pull off but at the same time, I empathize with them, because that's the harsh reality they have to face with socializing. Everyone feels like a real person

I'm glad that there's no bloodbath in this episode, I'm really loving the characters both protagonists and antagonists. Good for them to have some conclusion.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

those kids photos and their reactions were funny... Maho slapping Yukino like that after having been destroyed verbally... wasn't (even if they sort of make up after). And Yukino chasing Tsubasa like she did was very unexpected and even more amusing. Glad that this small arc looks finished.
