| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- An okay episode, again. The gags weren't that funny this time. |

| I agree. It wasn't that funny but I wasn't bored. So it's an ok episode. |
     |
| it was an okay episode, i thought that kei's father looked younger than he did... |
 |
| it was pretty boring... i was hoping a little more takishima+hikari, but the way he ran down the hill and stumbled for her was really sweet also... the animation when they change the colors [shown below] has officially become a pet peeve...   at first, i thought this animation effect gave off a really warm feeling ...now... it's just overused oh, this made my day: sibling love? incest~~~? |
| Yea, it wasn't very funny.. as for the comedy part.. but the plot was very good imo. Just the match of dragonfly catching felt a bit forced into it.. and didn't really fit in. Anyway.. character/relationship development and a little background .. together with a neat bit of sidestory = good. |
     |
| It's starting to lose me. If I didn't like the characters and art style, I'd be done. A very average episode, not funny. |
 |
| Every single one of these eps have sucked. This one has to be one of the only good ones though. It's the only one that had a decent plot and some jokes that made me giggle. |

| I personally love this series. Im a big fan of the manga, so Im used to this plot/humor. The only thing I didn't like was they changed what happened to make Kei show emotions. I mean, how in the world did he know she was hurt anyway. It just didn't make sense. But other than that, I love the growing relationship between them. I can''t wait to see the next episode! |
| It was an okay ep. lol @ Kei running through the woods like a madman |
| It was an okay interpretation. Looking at it from the anime stand alone, it made sense and was an alright episode. I hate that "effect" that they do, too. And why was she wearing the same outfit every time she tutored, except for the first? But I have to say, I was disappointed that they left out Hikari trying to "surprise" Kei and make his facial expression change that way (which was pretty funny in the manga) and the end when he makes his "true expression". So much funnier. Why they changed it, I have no idea. Made an amusing story boring T.T |
| they've ruined it T.T.. i agree.. the way it was in the manga it was MUCH better.. as already said.. how on earth did he know that hikari was hurt >.< and i still haven't got used to the art :S |
 |
| I love the part (as has been said) in the manga where he throws her on his bed for a "time out" and she gets all embarrassed when she barges into his room. WHY? Why leave that glorious moment out?! |
 |
| it was an ok episode just like everyone said |
    Sumeragi Kururu - Pledge Queen of Tool Toul To   |
| It was ok, brother thingy was nice, only solved too fast... I would like to see something lasting longer.... |
| They really killed this part of the manga... one of my favorite jokes was rewritten T_T Every episode is kind of alright but still a disappointment compared to the manga. If they don't get to the serious part of the plot soon, I think I'll drop it >_> |
 |
| Found this episode to quite boring, I kept looking at timer to see how much time was left =/ The only thing that "amused" me, was to find out that Kei's father looks even younger than his son =P |

Why leave that glorious moment out?! Totally!!! That's what I've been waiting for all episode... and in the end, nothing! Plus, original manga Kei-goes-to-rescue-Hikari was way more exciting. And in manga she's shown to be kick-ass heroine she is and here... she's just clumsy idiot. I think they're trying to force typical shoujo heroine into Hikari too much... |

| I like the anime, I like the manga more. ep 4 discussion, anime not as good as manga, I agree. |
| not amazing but way better than the first two episodes. ill continue to watch it to see where it goes, but this stands as ok right now for me. |
| This episode was fairly dull and I don't think I laughed once or felt any empathy towards any of them. ^_^ |

| i might just have to pick up the manga. i DID enjoy this episode , but small things like kei knowing she was hurt and yadda yadda bothered me. I loved the little brother at the end though =) |
| This episode was ok, but it did get a bit boring. melancholy said: also... the animation when they change the colors [shown below] has officially become a pet peeve... at first, i thought this animation effect gave off a really warm feeling ...now... it's just overused I can't stand it when they use that effect, it just looks bad! D: |
| I liked this ep ^-^ The last one was better, but this was still good ;P Just that Kei and Hikari is upsetting me u.u I like it better when they competing or Kei calling her "number 2" when he actually loves her, but this "saving her" is taking way that ;-; |

Aoikokoro said: I can't stand it when they use that effect, it just looks bad! D: I dont think it looks bad. i just think they're not using that effect properly. they're making the show much more cheesy than it already is. now that i just started reading the manga... wooah... so much better and different. they've changed the stories quite a bit o.o well maybe they're just doing things really out of order. |

| Tee hee. I liked Kei's dad. I mean, it was so silly that it was ludicrious, but it did make me laugh. "High school girl president" and "if we're late, they'll make us wear sailor suits, you know..."!! Kikikiki! XD |
  |
| lmao @ high school girl president. I thought it was pretty corny playing cher's do you believe in love during the dragon fly montage. anyways good ep |
 |
| This episode was predictable and kind of dumb, but in a cute way. Special A's been walking a fine line for me; if there's another terrible episode (like 2, which was just so bland and ugh that I couldn't stand it), I'll probably drop, but as long as it remains decent fluff like this episode and the previous one, I can keep going. Kei's family is cute, though. I have to wonder what his mother is like ... someone had to give Kei his sense, and it obviously wasn't his adorable daddy XD |

| I loved Kei's dad -- definitely not what I was expecting! It was an alright episode; it could have been better, but it could have been a lot worse too. Some parts were lame... SA just doesn't seem to be able to get the drama (or whatever it could be called) quite right, and Kei's constant saving of Hikari is starting to bother me. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the episode for the most part. |
     |
wtfwazthat said: lmao @ high school girl president. Same here XD OMG, Sui was adorable, but Kei's dad was even cuter<333 *o* Idk about everyone else, but I laughed once or twice :3 (even though I laughed twice as much when I was watching the 4th ep of Monochrome Factor) But I'm getting rather bored; this is my least favorite anime this season ^_^;; |
 |
| it's so cute when kei came running down for hikari... hehe but i think sui ask the wrong person when he asked about being inlove he shudve asked his brother if he was inlove with hikari..LoL cant wait for the next ep... btw where do you guys watch Special A?? coz i wanna know sites that update faster :D |
 |
| This episode was pretty dull actually, the jokes weren't as funny this time 'round. I wish they would give the other characters a bit more time though, I'm starting to get tired of Kei and Hikari otakubaybay said: Idk about everyone else, but I laughed once or twice :3 (even though I laughed twice as much when I was watching the 4th ep of Monochrome Factor) But I'm getting rather bored; this is my least favorite anime this season ^_^;; This is EXACTLY what I'm thinking! |
| an ok episode, a little better than the previous ones |
    |
| Ugh, it was so boring. I've always enjoyed anime adapted from manga, but they're really ruining this one with how they're executing the story. Watching this episode makes me feel like they're trying to drag it out as long as they can. The scene with Kei running for Hikari was great, but it made absolutely no sense how he would know she was hurt ... and even instinct is a lame excuse. I agree the effects are getting annoying. It was unnecessary for that moment. |

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that scene 'cause it didn't make any sense and the crying at the end was predictably annoying. T_T |

| meh episode. Kei's dad was great. very funny. but the whole thing about Kei coming out of nowhere really bothered me. |
 |
| Not the best, and already a little bit exhausting...But it was ok again. |
 |
MrMarshall said: Same here, if weren't for that I'd had dropped this series already. I really dislike dropping series, but if this one keeps pushing me...It's starting to lose me. If I didn't like the characters and art style, I'd be done. A very average episode, not funny. |

| I really hate the background music in the bug catching scene. It kinda ruined it for me. The jokes weren't funny...*sigh* Why did Takashima randomly come out of nowhere knowing that Hikari was hurt? That didn't make sense. I don't remember it going that way in the manga... |
 |
| I loved the episode, because Sui is cute... ^^ It is also touching... ^^ |
| sui is so cute <33 I hope to see more of him. anyway, an ok episode... I do plan to watch this whole series, so I hope they make it better because it has the potential and its making me sad that this is what we get -_- |
 |
| Hikari's voice is actually starting to bother me now, especially when she gets loud and mad. I'm even more tempted to continue the manga now. |
     |
| Okay episode. I hope they don't diverge on anime from manga very often. |
| i liked it very much..i don't really care about the animations and stuff.i think it's pretty fine..[considering that i haven't read the manga] |
| I've had enough...Hikari's voice is very annoying and the story changed so much that it's just corny now. I wanted to see what they did with the supporting cast, but that probably won't happen for another ten episodes...and I can't take that. Dropped for now. |
 Such is life... |
| Not funny, I did not smile once. Oh well at least I have Itazura na Kiss to make me laugh. But seriously, in my opinion S.A. is almost as bad as Kanokon. |
