Basically, all that happened in this episode was some random stuff, Chaika getting more air time and Manami getting unnecessary development? >.>
Well at least I approve of more Chaika : >


There's hardly such a thing as "unnecessary development"; I really appreciate the overall course AsoIku is taking, unlike harem-shows like eg Rosario+Vampire, where the plot is non-existent and they're idling around.

Asobi ni Iku yo! though gives us villains, possible twists, comedy, an actual plot that easily might be extended, nice characters who aren't too harem-like (swarming around the main character like flies around crap) and that show real development that drives the shows romances forward.

-----
Anyway, it's just getting harder to decide between Aoi-chan and Manami (btw, I'm pretty disappointed that this name gets misspelled that often...), they both are lovely

Free lessons for all.

Start Trek Holodeck. At least the cat Aliens are honest on what they use it for. There isn't a single person on earth with a healthy libido that wouldn't use something like that for that purpose.

SOMY tapes. I wonder if he has a SOMY playstation.

Nice stupid excuse they found so they could make her ship looking like hanging by strings so the scenario about her not matching a sci-fi movie role could go on. "Energy outputting probes" WTF!?

Cat girls get horny in the sauna.

Manami was a little deluding herself there with the Holodeck copy. Since she has feelings for him she should take her own advice and be straight with him. Right now Aoi is still a little of a stranger to him and the Alien girl is not a very serious consideration for girlfriend in his mind. As much as she delays it probably the worst it will be.

That laughing dog reminds me of this guy.

I want to be the one to open up Eris' virgin tape =3333.

Those assist droids at the start ruined the fun (X _ X)

Wish they would show what those catgirls do in that virtual room during their mating season. I want to go in there too -3-

And now I fully root for Manami with this episode. Childhood friends almost always don't win in a romance story. But Manami, Aoi and Eris kinda deserve more than than normal Kio. Someone...like me. j/k xD

So what, obligatory beach episode next time? dowant.png

Okay, after this episode i was able to figure out a lot of important things, like...my official list of potential GF wannabes:

1. Eris
Why? I Dont know, shes kinda cute,(couldn't care less about her being a cat girl, so no, its not because of that she's on top)
IRL -i can hear you roar on this one:P - Id like to get to know her more Also, some of you said, that its a cliche among romance animes, that the main character end up with the "alien". But, like in
. So its either this, or the generic 'main char ends up with no one'. Also, bustline is a plus :P Aaaaand Im quite sure that she wont end up with Kio :/

2. Aoi
Why? She's shy but curious, and tries to do something to get Kio to like her. Her personality can change from this (shy) to an all-out action hero ^^

3-21: AssistRobots 1 thru 17-17
Why? They dont hit a man in the crotch -unless ordered :P -


22. Manami
Why? While we dont know much of her yet, shes clearly having trouble expressing her feelings,leading to Kio misunderstand her... like the forementioned nutshot...
That is one thing, but to order around Kioi in his own home (how dare you bath/do whatever with a woman, even tho we dont date! <--- this in many forms) Yeah, so Kiio is into the porn thingy, so what, big deal(*), his house, deal with it.
Her hobby (read: obsession) with the guns is at least that sinful(**) as Kio and his printed womans.

* Kio -on the other hand- really should find a new place to hide his stash...
** Hell, Manami... you are a girl/woman try to behave according to it, i heard it helps you imrpove your chances being recognised as one...

Quite a nice episode giving some more emotions free from Manami, though the ending is quite sad for Eris of losing her first year of mating season!

Still nice episode up to the next 6 episodes!

So eris no longer has to worry bout her mating season for a while at least.

I loved that virtual reality system. It was kind of cool how they portrayed manami's true feelings, even though kyo was just a hologram.

Okay...so... that was actually a good episode.

At first I thought the simulation room was going to end in an ordinary ecchi scene, but then the show decided to get all introspective. No, rather, I find it intriguing how the simulation can create people whom give responses based on memories and expectations. They'll say what you want because you will it, so it gave insight into what Manami saw in Kio, what she thinks Kio sees in her, and what she sees in herself. That was actually a nice scene of Manami reflecting on the Jack thing, where she thinks that she lost her place in Kio's life. However, she didn't see him as a heartless tail chaser, but as someone who thought he was dumped. Manami thought that she hurt him, and she, for a moment, played the blame game with her own conscious.

Then, the moment of insight. That bicycle scene narrated the weakness and insecurity in herself, where Manami could only bear witness herself falling behind. She wasn't just afraid of being friend zoned. She was afraid of the image of Kio in her mind, maturing far faster than she could. Reality may tell a different story, but within this illusion, that's Manami's reality.

Perhaps Manami runs the gambit of the tomboy childhood friend who is completely dishonest with her feelings, throwing another stone in the pool of identical stones. However, with this episode, Asobi ni Iku yo caught my attention, and goodness gracious it's better late than never. It's moments like these where I'm glad that I'm open to watch anything, for this tiny gold nugget was worth crawling in the dirt for. It's rough, jagged and smelly, but it's a keeper.

I really hate it when in anime they misuse guns, I don't care if it's comedy or not, if you want the anime to be even a bit realistic then don't point guns at your friends.

The narrator seems like Eris in the future? And she just announced Futuba and Manami as her guard for real? In this point i knew that the end routes mostly gone for her with this narration. Poor Manami and Futuba, only use this show as a memorable scenery to remember all good thing they happen with Kio.

Okay, a little brain-storming still good rather than nothing like this episode. Full of random shit again, and the attachment with Manami past not good enough to satisfy me. Fortunately, the little ecchi in the beginning mostly appear as the strong moment over this poor random thought. Thats it.

A semi-serious episode. So now it's a love triangle (excluding Eris).

I was gonna say that the whole virual room seemed to be pretty bullshit, with that version of Kio having the same thoughs as the real one, with both girls, but the explanation at the end saved the whole thing.

This was quite good. It was nice seeing things from Manami's POV and she actually being honest with herself in a roundabout way.
