Manami - 13/10 <3

Manami x Kyousuke all day, everyday.

I hope they pull through. As much as he says he doesn't like her.. He wouldn't accept Manami with any other guy.. Hmmm, I wonder why :)

The episode turned out to be much better than I thought. Never really warmed up to Manami before because she seemed so plain and a even little creepy, but my impression of her was turned around in this episode. I can see why they get along so well together and she's actually pretty cute. She really likes him and so do her grandparents. Her grandfather was too funny. If he really wants a peaceful life, the solution is right in front of him.

It's interesting that he told his friend that he doesn't have romantic feelings for Manami but wouldn't want her to get a boyfriend either. That's a pretty selfish attitude actually, particularly for someone as self-sacrificing as he's been. In that respect, it feels very similar to how Kirino is with him. It will be interesting to see how that dynamic evolves.

Kirino's newest acquisition most likely influenced my view, but the ED picture seemed like it was made to be put onto a Dakimakura.

true! but they are high schoolers, so its understandable that they wont have a grasp of their own feelings yet. its clear that tomoya has some sort of love beyond "just friends" for manami.

this ep was awesome tho. very refreshing and nice to see kirino "miss" kyou.

its only when you lose something, that u start to appreciate it..

tsundere brocon Kirino was cute... and all you people that think she's not a brocon just go read the novels ~w~ (or Seanver's summaries if you don't know japanese, like me xD)

Anyways, Manami is so friggin' cute >w< Kyou is just too oblivious not to notice that.

This episode was kind of iffy to me, especially since I've been checking the online video links every couple of hours since Saturday morning for the subs..
I never really liked Manami. They always seem to play her out as the "kind, gentle, shy, one-sided-love/Hyuuga Hinata of Oreimo". Plus she has an obnoxious voice, imo.

I liked "Rock" though. What a boss.

Totally agree too. I felt sorry for him when he shivered just thinking about kirino. :'(

They really didn't need to keep going back to show how jealous she was getting after him being away for a day.

As much as she shows her detest for Kyousuke, at the end of the day, he is the only one with whom she can share all of her interest/problems. what might apparently show kirino being jealous, actually well shows how much she has been depending on her brother lately. nothing more. this happens with siblings often. i remember my younger brother (the youngest of us four siblings) started showing a carefree attitude towards me whenever I used to hang around with my friends, particularly because he was always the closest to me in our family (me being the second youngest) and i was the only one who could have a talk with him. well things have changed when he started making his own friends as he grew up. when was it, he was like 11 and i was 13 back then. yeah, he took that long to make friends in school. he has grown up to be such a fine man, and has a girlfriend too, i know he cares about her more than me now :P. but i have had similar experience with my younger brother in the past so i can much relate to her situation.

anyways, a great episode overall. while many of you enjoyed the kirino fan services, nothing come even close to the ojii-san acrobatics. that made the entire episode a WIN!
I will be rooting for this guy in Ojii-san Olympics. :D. Nice improvisation of possible cardiac arrest.

Good episode but I really wonder what Kyosuke really thinks of her. Is she just a childhood friend to him? But he did say that he won't allow other guys to go out with her. That confuses me a little. I wonder if he harbors any feelings for her too.
From Manami's point of view, well, it's so obvious that she likes him.

this is my favorite episode so far. i was laughing so much while watching. i've always liked manami so a whole episode dedicated to her was nice. i love her family and wish mine was like that.

and i don't agree with the comment about her having an obnoxious voice. i think it fits her character. there are other anime characters out there that have an extremely annoying voice, but manami isn't one of them.

i'm hoping for kyousuke x manami since they're both my favorites. a lot can still happen, but this pairing is the most likely at this point so far.

I think it's pretty obvious that he does. But then, they might break the childhood friend lovers cliche

For such a plain Jane, Manami is ridiculously cute. So are most of the girls in this show to be honest. I'm with the grandparents on this one though. Kyousuke needs to go ahead and impregnate her. Or at least spoon damn it!

kinda boring. manami is ok but sad he wouldn't be interested at all with the situation. I don't like seeing Kirino mad that much. I think they are pushing the wincest notion a little too much when it just isn't really there yet.

Nice to finally see a episode that doesn't have Kirino in it that much(although I did like the body pillow part). Not only that, it introduced a couple new characters too. Hopefully they develop more of a relationship between Kyousuke and Manami before the series finishes.

I loathed this episode. What was the point of it? There was no real change from where it began to where it ended. I would have much rather had episode 5 retreading of episode 3 over having nothing.

So instead of developing characters we get to watch characters we don't care about who amount to being giant walking gags on a stick push the plot into multiple quirk situations which end up amounting to nothing. The only character who has been developed and grown meanwhile is sidelined for these quirks.

I love side character getting some attention. A powerful cast is one of the strongest assets a series can have. Sadly, they just don't do anything Manami. We learn almost nothing about her that we couldn't already infer about her. Which is sad because there was very little to her character in the first place.

I do understand that a certain amount of this episode comes down to taste, and I hate comedy with an absolute passion that could eclipse the sun, but I just didn't see anything interesting in this episode. So much of the screen time is focused on gags.

I am just glad that this will likely be the only time we see these gag characters. Enough with the fillers, let us find the plot already!

I never understood the point of a blind man watching a sunset. If a story focuses on character development, and you're not a character development type of audience, or you're not good with people in general... just move on...

If a show isnt good, noone is going to watch it, but if a show caters to a certain audience, and you're not that audience...who fault is it? There is no such thing as a buffet when it comes to stories, there will always be that one person, who likes black licorice anchovie pizza, and you're just not going to please that person.

Yeah...the only word I could get after seeing this episode.
I will be frank and say I don't like the Kyousuke X Manami pair.Why? Not a real reason, but I just don't like Manami...feels like something is off about her. I wouldn't be for the incest as well, but meh, I like Kyousuke x Kirino more XD
[/pair rant]
Anyway, quite a boring episode. The character which got a first thought is ojii-chan XD Quite a funny guy, quite stereotypical, but quite funny. Just a classic... "You two should just hurry up and marry" *lol* Besides that, past memories, an annoyed little sister and an elusive grandma?
The next episode seems intriguing, can't wait for it :D

You can't tell if a triangle is a triangle, until you see all three sides. Right now, it just looks like someone drew two lines. Lines are indeed pretty boring but once they connect, watch out for that triangle. Oh, and in reality, it going to be a square/pyramid, so you brain might just blow up.

Didn't really enjoy the episode, but I'm pretty sure that is because I don't like Manami. Still, Kirino kicking her brother's seat and door cracked me up. I feel bad for Kyousuke, he might have relaxed for a day, but I'm sure when he gets home Kirino will make him pay :D

that is true, but there has been good stuff in the series before hand without the comedy.

Kirino and Kyousuke's relationship has been developing as the series goes on. The previous episodes evolved their dynamic each time.

But more than that, Kirino is an interesting character. She is given conflicts which she is forced to overcome. Whether it is trying to create new bonds, or gathering the courage to defend what she loves, Kirino is a character who has changed as the series goes on.

This most recent episode had none of that. I challenge someone to tell me what we learn about Manami or Kyousuke in this episode that we didn't already know.
