----------------------------------------
This episode surprised me with Sawa’s fan service but more than anything the end of it in the following,

OMG SAWA! When she fell off I really can’t rest much thinking about it and the next episode. Hopefully she has nothing and the fall was not bad but under normal means you can get Spinal Cord Paralysis just like a famous person got IRL. Where he was paralyzed and on a wheel chair due to his fall off a horse. So OMG Sawa MAKE IT! T_T Truly one hell of a cliffhanger.

I did like how Konatsu was playing around Sakai in the spoiler As she explains things around. Konatsu was quite playful there.

Love Wien’s idea in the spoiler quite catchy and nice TBH. White Rhinoceros looks good along with the outfits of the girls.

The new girls in the spoiler had most fine designs and it was fresh to see other types of girls showing out.

About Sawa and her fan service, I swear I did not expect to see Sawa in the spoiler with her bra and breasts being more visible and their contours. That was quite unexpected but drastic measure are needed to drastically convince her father it seems.

Still Sawa kicked ass in her practices in the spoiler those are some quite nice parts of her shooting out an arrow from a horse position high up.

One of things really appreciated is Konatsu in the spoiler

she knows all about Sawa that she is in trouble. GIRL RUNS AND DOES HER THING in the spoiler had to yell it out. She totally gets into action and organizes RIGHT NOW! Something to cheer her up. Amazing girl Konatsu. I wish I had such a nice girl for a date. Konatsu’s chest is not what defines her. She really is the girl that has a character that defines her. That is Konatsu.

About thee end, apart from that fall in the spoilerI am glad that Sawa in the following,

Seems to show she makes it with a minor injury to her face. Which is acceptable IMO. Glad she is OK.

About the ED changes, one needs to look no further than the spoiler to see that all the gang is together but more than anything KONATSU! She is more cheerful and helpful along with playing around the gang. Excellent stuff! This truly defines her rather well.

About the preview, looks like Sawa and Konatsu in the spoiler will have major events to deal with emotionally from what it looks like.

Still pretty heavy episode on Sawa’s part. Might edit later.

Poor Sawa, all that stress she's having made her lose her concentration, causing her to fall off her horse. On the other hand, she went as far to expose her cleavage.

Love how everyone is together now in the ED.

Now Wakana is doing great, but Sawa is in a slump and made a fatal mistake.
She seems fine in the preview though, fortunately.
This Sawa is hurting me, need speed recovery.

There are comedy here and there as usual, but not really stand out.
Overall, quite plain of an episode.

Yeah indeed this currently Sawa in this episode is hurting me too, why are she not eating anything?
Obviously you feel dizzy and gettng headache if you not eat anything, well at least I do.

Whoa, first thing first: THE ENDING WAS SO MEAN! How did the writer decided to make Sawa fell off the horse, damn it! :(

Anyway, so seems like this EP the story about Wakana was really resolved, which is a good thing. So the next one in the list, as hinted by last EP, was indeed Sawa. Seems like her father didn't want her to be a jockey. Now, come on father, if you don't want your daughter to be a jockey, do you want her to be a miko?!

Anyway, too much Sawa fan service in this EP, I feel like it was a bit pushed.

However, seems like she didn't have enough problem, as it seems like the horseback riding would require her weight to be at the certain level.

I think that's why she started dieting. I know this would have gone bad, and it really did, as she lose her power on the singing, and you could tell right away that she didn't have a good concentration while riding the horse.

Again, I'm sad that everything has came down to that, but I understand that she really wants to be a jokey. :(

For Wakana in this EP: Totally MOE, totally TSUNDARE. It went over 9,000 at the dining table and throughout the EP:


Well, but I'm glad that her father loves her ...

I was lol'ed so hard when she made that face. Good one, daddy!

Also, the (re-)introduction in the room was pretty good as well:


-----

For Konatsu, she's cute as always:


I didn't see her character progress as much as I expect from this episode though, except know I know that she loves to read manga. Anyway, her assumption that Sawa were on diet because of love matters made me giggle a bit.

-----

On the boy side, I think I saw some progression on Wein. Man, you must really hiding something from us! You're the guy that has a deep though, but showing that you're cheerful and playful. Who's Yang that you were writing a letter to? And why are you so obsessed with the super hero? ... That kinda convinced me that Wein may have lost his love ones in the past?

Tanaka, on the other hand, he impressed me when he blabing about Sawa after she fainted. I don't care what you guys said, I'm shipping Tanaka x Sawa. :P

-----

Random stuff here:

* LMAO at the white rhino festival. And Wien actually wrote a letter telling someone about it.


* What is really in this form? I can't read it:


* Who the heck is this guy? He seems like a bad guy. Seems like we'll know more about him later on.


* In ED, I like how Konatsu jumped out and becoming a conductor. How nice!


* In the preview, did they say that Sawa might not be able to ride a horse again? WTF????

Some more notes:

* I think I forgot that Konatsu's brother is in the student council. I like brother x sister reaction here, seems like Konatsu always give his brother a hard time:


* Did anybody thought that Wakana asking for a 3rd ticket from her father so his father can go as well? I did ... It turned out that his father didn't go with them, lol. (The group's reaction is priceless, btw.)

^^^ lol sawa's face didnt change at all

Lol at Tanaka and Wien. The boys are getting bullied by the girls haha. Konatsu's deduction was hilarious too.

Wow'ed at Sawa's fanservice. Didn't expect that at all O.O

I was like OMFGGGGG when she fell. Sad.

Wakana has rocketed up to being my favourite female and 2nd favourite overall after Wien.

It'd be an interesting twist if Sawa really couldn't ride her horse anymore.

Man, that fall was heartwrenching. At least the comedy from Konatsu and Wakana balanced it out. And more development for Wien.

I winced when she fell off the horse.

GG, Tanaka. You never stood a chance. Never.

lol konatsu sleeping.


nasty fall. sucks

Yes, LMAO at that one.

That cliffhanger was brutal. But thankfully she was Ok (I think), so it's all good.
I feel so bad for the guys in this ep, since I know exactly how they feel...

Ah money... it haunts us all doesn't it.
Well at least Wakana is sitting with them in the ending now, lol.

Sawa was kinda annoying with not telling anyone about her problems >_> ''im ok'' - my ass :/ now she is in trouble because of this.
Wakana in other hand is ♥ after previous episodes.I finally like her.
Seems like real Choir is just like its teacher, mean and stupid.I cant wait to see their reactions after seeing how good Choir CLUB is.It will be priceless.

4/5

Sawa has some scary temper but still cute nonetheless :O

I wonder if Wien will ever get more airtime than he already has. Too under developed.

Boy, do these girls become so serious when their arc starts. It's almost as if they are completely different people. On the other hand, Sunohara from Clannad can put the two static boys to shame.

But seriously, did Sawa just realize (during her senior year) to take her passion for Horseback Archery to the next level? The anime showcased Sawa's love for Archery and Horse riding since the beginning of the OP in the first episode as it did with Taichi's love for Badminton. Taichi is nationally ranked and actively prepares for Badminton; whereas, Sawa attends Archery practice and has plenty of time to hang out with the Choir club and gallop with her horse. The anime made obvious that Sawa is very laid back and treats everything around her with jubilance. Why the sudden change? Doesn't she realize she can only maintain her current playful lifestyle if she follows her father's advice, becoming a government worker and keeping horse-back riding a hobby? During the previous arc with Wakana, and now with Sawa, both girls tend to pay little to no attention to their parents' advice.

I guess they're trying to make it "closer to reality" where kids don't really listen to their parents' advice at that age but gradually do so when they mature as time passes by.
