That's it! Tadashi x Akira ftw!

Episode was great, and it sure flipped a few things around regarding Yahiro.

This episode was lovely!!!!!! But with the whole resolution with regard to Yahiro, I hope it doesn't mean we won't be seeing him anymore, definitely made the story a lot more interesting. :D

But was I the only one who forgot about the date until we were reminded at the end?! :S

Also, this time they used their special art effect in a much better way then they did before. The blended it in with the original art which made the scene with Akira look really beautiful. My favorite episode so far.

This show has continued to impress me. Enjoyed this episode as much as the rest and can't wait to see the rest.

The fact that you remember this from the manga makes me want to read the manga now.

Same here ;3
It was a good episode. Akira's little hug with Tadashi was a really sweet moment. It looks like the Yahiro business is over with though and I'm guessing that a good chunk of the remaining episodes will be centered around Hikari and Kei. I do hope we will see more of Yahiro though. I actually like him as a character, he's quite interesting ;)

I've dropped this show some time ago but after seeing the comments I decided to give it a very last chance. Glad that I did. I understand now why I didn't like it: because of that stupid retard Hikari that always ruins everything. Right now, I'm loving Tadashi x Akira the most, especially in this episode, the hug was just lovely, especially with that BGM, and as cyruz said, they used that strange art perfectly this time. Loved it.

Ouch. Personally Hikari is what kept me going through the first 12-odd episodes, but maybe that's because I didn't mind her density, since the rest of her personality was so likeable.

Still, I'm glad that S.A. has become more than just a one-pony show, with Tadashi and Yahiro earning about a million awesome points apiece for their respective actions and characterizations, so I'm hoping we see a lot more of both of them. Personally, I'd still vote for Yahiro over Tadashi, for the record.

Well, I was also thinking about dropping this show because I absolutely disliked their superhuman-contests (it was so unrealistic...!) and Hikari's constant "Taaaaakiiishiiiimaaa!" But now it's gotten better and we actually see how their relationships develop, so I'm glad I was able to bear the first 10 episodes.

I'm a Yahiro supporter XP

I admit i thought in the previous episodes that Yahiro was a good for nothing super clingy jealous type person but i see that he only wanted to protect Akira although he shouldve told her so that Akira wont hate him, at least he was able to speak to her...

At first I didn't feel bad for Yahiro at all. Oh woe is me, I'm a bastard because someone was mean to me once. But then I actually felt bad for all the trouble he went through for the sake of Akira. Although it still does not excuse his bastardness, I did feel bad for him.

Akira x Tadashi ftw! The hug scene was so heartwarming.

I agree that the series has improved a lot on what it was when it started.

The Characters are really developed deeply and it's very engaging now, even the former 'villian' Yahiro.

Also the hug was just soooo right.... I got a little warm feeling in my chest when watching it!

Eeeh, Yahiro's actually a good guy~? That's sweet of him to do that for Akira, but I still support Tadashi x Akira xDD

I hope Tadashi and Hikari get somewhere, because as the main couple they're terribly behind xDD

You mean Takishima and Hikari, right? ^_~ Yeah, I hope that Hikari stops being clueless and gives up the competitive nonsense. I'm competitive but hers is just too much. @.@

i'm assuming that this means there will be a yahiro, tadashi, akira love triangle drama at some point, but i'm hoping that i'm wrong since i don't like yahiro or love triangles.
yay tadashi X akira :D (and not just because i don't like yahiro, i liked them as a pair from the beginning)
i wonder what went wrong on the date? you just know something had to ;)

What a twist!

The first, like dozen episodes were kinda boring and painful, and I only thought of this show as a weak School Rumble impression (especially with Hikari looking like Tenma). But with the last few eps it's finally getting there. And by "there" i mean being good.

Very nice episode, so far it seems to only get better and hope it continues on this path. Liked the Akira+Tadashi moment, as well the true meanings behind Yahiro's actions, with a great amount of character development. Still love the new OP and ED, and lol somehow I even forgot about about Kei's and Hikari's date until they mentioned it at the end, curious as to how the anime producers interpreted this ^^.

Akira and Tadashi are moving along faster than Hikari and Kei, almost. This episode was really absorbing though, and I loved finding out more about Akira and Yahiro.

14 episodes in a row on a marathon. This was the best so far. Tadashi x Akari is so right. Now if only the main pair could make as much progress. It's only 2:00 am, probably I can watch at least another two episodes tonight.

i hated yahiro up until this episode. he did something like that just to protect akira? and he did it without expecting recognition. it takes a good person to resist the need for credit for something good he's done. it shows how sincere he really was in caring for akira

So Yahiro isn't actually a villain. Yui got off way too easily though. She can't be trusted despite her reason for stealing.

I have nothing against Yahiro in this episode caz in fact he was protecting Akira even though.. well he was too much of being overprotective of her in the past but this one is different. Stealing is bad >_>

Meanwhile little hug Tadashi was awesome!

what the heck. I can't believe yui was forgiven just for a few tears.

if anything, I think yahiro is correct in all but that he ever liked akira, who is a retard, and is the folly of his life.

honestly, gold diggers are the worst

Ahhh, Yahiro is really an idiot. Haven't he watched enough anime to knows that assuming the role of the bad guy can never lead to a good result? :|
