I've also made the decision that Heartseed is not as much of a villain as all the characters believe he is.
Everything else could be forgiven, but throwing Iori (or any of the others, had it been one of the others) off the bridge into the river can never be forgiven.

I was always wondering why Goto sensei didn't wonder what happened when the flower took over but i guess this explains the question tho it did create a new one why would he not wonder about the blanks in his memory's?
Personally speaking, even under good conditions, my mind wanders and right now I couldn't account for what I was doing on an hourly basis today (and forget about any more detail than that), never mind yesterday. Generally speaking, unless somebody were to specifically ask me for some detail that triggers a reference I can use, I can only remember highlights of what happened in the past, and that's about it.

That's not to say I can't remember things - my memory is fairly good, but it's almost never chronologically ordered, and rarely socially oriented. I can recall details about what happens in a given 50 lines of computer code in a code base of 100,000 lines, but I have trouble remembering exactly what I was working on at work yesterday. So I can imagine somebody like Goto not getting concerned over not remembering what he might have been doing for half an hour or so that morning, for instance.

Yay, Taichi and Aoki successfully convinced Yui to go back to school. Aoki is a real man. Yui was so cute this episode. Loved how Aoki is acting so lovey-dovey and making the situation pretty awkward. xD Talking about 'love hotels' and all so calmly. Loved it when Aoki said 'That's not what you're supposed to ask. Something like this' and Yui repeats what he says 'Please, protect me?' and Aoki replies with 'It would be my honour'. :DD

The desires being unleashed when they wanted to eat all those foods that Yui bought was hilarious. Made that scene 10 times more epic when Taichi's inner desire voice 'Eat!' came on. xD

Heartseed appearing at Inaba's house late at night is pretty damn creepy. So seems like Inaba does 'like' Taichi but didn't want to admit it.
Next episode is gonna be so damn dramatic, can't wait. Iori finds out Inaba likes Taichi? Diabolic love triangle, let's go!

Finally some time for Aoki to shine, poor guy hardly gets any significant screen time, "love hotel" cracked me up haha

So, Inaba is "just" afraid their friendship might fall apart if her feelings for Taichi come out and the preview left me with the impression that we will see that situation.

Aoki x Yui moment was great...they should really get together already..Yui should just give up and be with him already..

Also, poor Inaba. She doesn't want people to know, but it looks like next episode..things are gonna get out. I know Inaba doesn't want to hurt Iori, b/c she's important to her, and if I were in her place..I'd probably do the same. However, right now I don't care..I just want my favorite character to be happy and be with the guy she's meant to be with..Taichi of course. I really hope they get together.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Not too interested in Yui's situation, so I'm glad that's solved. This episode, and the previous one, ties in nicely with the previous discussion about Taichi's/Inaba's altruism, and confirms a few points. I suppose it was a bit preemptive, but delved quite a bit deeper than the conversation between Taichi and Aoki. I had expected Heartseed to intervene long ago, but especially now since things have seemingly calmed down. The school trip seems like a perfect place to do so.

I thought that this episode was definitely an improvement over last weeks. I'm happy that the group is getting back together. Taichis revelation that the reason he is selfless is because he is actually selfish, is really the first step to actually helping everyone back together. Although i think Taichi got better all too fast, suddenly recognizing this in one nights introspective lonely night(maybe he had a desire to figure out what was wrong with himself :S), but really who doesn't i guess?

Heart seed was , as always, the star of every scene he's in. He's interesting, manipulative, and pretty powerful. Three things that make any villain formidable. When he showed up at Inabas room(Really mom you're gonna leave creepy blank staring teacher with your daughter alone, in a dark room?) i was so excited. His comment on "many people don't ask questions when they black out" has me wondering what kind of person Mr. Goto is. I'm a bit confused as to why he never showed up to Yui when she was doing the same thing that Inaba has been but to an even greater degree.
It appears that Heart seed knows and is forcing Inaba to be more active in her desires. She has a crush on Taichi(at least i assume) and Heart seed is forcing her to go on this field trip.

I'm really excited for this next episode. Looking forward to having Inaba in the spotlight(or at least a more active role then these last few eps) and if she confesses to Taichi and/or does something equally as terrible in front of Iori, I'll be happy. Plus I'm actually looking forward to having some more class prez, though I’ve no idea how important or if she'll even appear next ep.

There was some good humor, something that the show has been light on these last couple eps. The whole Love hotel exchange, Aoki was so keen on made me chuckle. He kept talking and you could see him slowly getting more and more excited at the idea. I'm really happy that they did get Yui back to school and Aoki even got to shine a little on this one without Taichi stealing the girl again. So yay for Aoki and Yui making a tiny step to them being in a relationship.

Another one was the gluttony scene of everyone just wanting to shovel down the others food and just eating like crazy.
EAT!

Not much else to say, Good episode, next week looks like it'll be even better. I'm wondering if it'll be the last ep of this arc, and we'll move onto Heart seeds next demented experiment, but only time shall tell!

Admittedly there were emotionally stronger episodes than this one but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy watching it. Looking at the preview for next week this week's episode of KC can be seen as some sort of set-up episode. A set-up episode which also solved some smaller conflicts and simultaneously enabled the main plot to keep going.

A lot of people of had mixed feeling about Taichi before this episode. Do his good intentions, though inexperienced and with a single perspective sense of righteousness, shine through to make him a likable character or not? In this episode, Taichi came clean and my distaste of him cleared up.

But all this points to the question of how one should analyze a character. Should we have accepted Taichi for who he is, a well-intentioned, average, selfish teenager, or questioned him on the poor decisions (or lack thereof) he makes? One way to answer the question is to consistent with the answer one gives for Heartseed. If one believes Heartseed is well-intentioned and thus a good person, the same should be applicable to Taichi. On the other hand, Heartseed's malevolent actions might convince one that it is a manipulative and evil being, in which case, the same should be true for Taichi: despite Taichi's well-intentions, his inexperience and lack of thought in his actions should form the basis for judgement of his character.

Since Aoki was given life for the first time in this episode, I feel obliged to say something about him. Even though Taichi has always been a few steps ahead of what Aoki himself wanted to be, it's refreshing to see him objective not filled with angst or jealously.

To me it is because much of what the others were doing centered around worrying about Yui, going to see her to try to drag her out, or fighting about/over her. In other words, her self confinement was causing trouble with the others in and of itself and thus probably was worth while to Heartseed just because of that. However, Inaba's 'issue' needs a little kick for it to really stir up trouble within the group.

I was looking forward to some more Inaban flags, but I never had much hope to see her winning, so I guess it's over. I'm still curious to see how they will handle this.

It took Heartseed a lot of time to visit someone. I thought the whole pressure of him making things worse would have been enough to force out anyone who thinks staying at home is a good idea (I'm looking at you Yui). 4/5.
