With this episode, we see how appropriate the second ED is with the name "Cry Out" and a very simple image of Inaba waking up to another day.

A perfect episode in my book. The drama was intense throughout. A wonderful way to resolve Himeko's internal struggle and admit her true feelings. Iori is truly a great friend, accepting Himeko for who she is. I'm still hoping Himeko will end up with Taichi, but at the same time, I won't mind if Iori becomes the winner either. Both have good chemistry with Taichi, moreso for Himeko.

After episode 5 with the Iori dying craziness, nothing that interesting has really happened. The entire unleashing desires arc barely had any desires released at all. They just yelled at each other a few times, and unleashed their desire to eat and sleep in. I was expecting a lot more sexual tension, like A LOT of it. It seems that deep down, these characters don't really want to do anything crazy/interesting at all. Based on my own teenage years, my biggest desires were 1. getting in a car and driving off to see the world, 2. executing elaborate schemes to humiliate the people I hated, 3. Doing something really crazy to get attention (such as vandalizing with spray paint), 4. lots of shoplifting, and 5. lots of sex.
Obviously, not everybody has the exact same desires as I do when they're teens, but I was hoping these five kids would do something akin to one of the five things I listed. If five teens unleash their deepest desires, something bad should happen. But nothing did. In fact, they came out of this arc even better than before.
To put it simply, these five main characters are really boring in their heart of hearts. If any other five people were suddenly unleashing their deepest desires, at least one of them would end up in jail, pregnant, or dead.

Heartseed is just being a nice guy and no one seams to realize that among 'em.
Exelent episode with some really nice development compare to the previous 2 episodes. Felt like it was standing still for a while there.

Ah I guess this is the reason I like Inaba the most.

Iori is all smiles saying everything will be fine but I hope she really doesn't regret this later.

Also heartseed trolling never gets old.


hehe yea, Heartseed have been the best in comparison to the smaller facetime in the show. i mean he's been helping them all these time, in a weird way. hopefully he isnt trolling right now that in the end, turn out to have some big scheme that will actually hurt all 5 of them.

Awesome episode. They couldn't have done it any better. I was afraid heartseed would force Inaba to confess her love. I'm so glad she did it by her own will -in her own original way-.

5/5 is not enough !

When did inaba accept her feelings? It always showed that she had feelings for him, but she always denied it, now in this episode she kept saying "she knows, she knows" as if she already knew she liked him, and accepted that

Those stuff didn't really occur in this story because that's not what the author is trying to persuade. You were thinking more of a -rebellious- story of these teenagers. I mean, yeah, your ideal sounds rather interesting but not the drama we're actually looking for. And we had just one mini- sexual tension in that's in ep 6, with Inaba, but if the fan service went on, it would lose it's touch on the message of the story. Yeah, this story is about human relationships , as having an update with the Light Novels, this story is very amazing and outstanding.

I'm pretty sure that scene of her licking her finger and blushing was enough confirmation for herself that she had feelings for him, along with Iori directly asking it.

Best episode so far, I must admit I was an Iori x Taichi fan, but I"m scarily changing to like Inaban. Hope I get to see another episode like this before the series ends. Might even see if theres a translated LN for this stuff ^.^

Ahem. She always liked Taichi, since the beginning of the episode, but she'd always put Iori and Taichi "love" first before hers. But at the same time, too, denied it, pretending that she wasn't aware of it, and her low-self esteem made it worst. Heartseed's visit made more of an impact that what she was feeling wasn't false and real, so you can say this is where she starts to realize that her feelings were genuine since that start. In the epilogue of the second novel which is the second arc of the anime, we get a personal monologue/dialogue of her own about her feelings for Taichi, and her thought's about herself.

INABA FTMFW! I hope she ends up getting together with Taichi, I've shipped their pairing since the beginning of this show! This was a really emotional episode. Tears all over the place. It was nice to see Inaba's true emotions and desires, and how happy she was once they were finally revealed to everyone. Can't wait to see where we go from here now that all of this hidden desire business is over. I'm sure what comes next is gonna be awesome!

didn't end with as big a bang as episode 5
but you know what, it shows that the anime is coming to its conclusion (well sort of)
Good episode cause of Inaban development (yeahhh), heartseed appearance, and well, the troll with taichi falling kind of got me but cause of the 5th episode it didn't really grab me enough.
5/5 tho lets see what the next arc brings

We can all agree now that Heartseed is the biggest troll in anime history. Jumping from the bridge and now "he fell" were excellent ideas.

OMFG THIS EPISODE! INABA!!! Man, I fucking love this episode. Inaba is now my favourite, surpassing Iori. Seriously she shined in this episode. I really love how Iori lectured Inaba and was still able to stay cheerful.

Heartseed suddenly appearing and deceiving Inaba was such an ass move lol. Although it was so nice to see Inaba helplessly cry like that. She let out all her sadness and happiness out. That elbow to the stomach was hilarious though LOL!

That last 4 minutes with Taichi and Inaba were so fucking lovey dovey holy shit! Inaba confessed to Taichi and he politely turned Inaba down but then she reacted like she 'normally' does. I love how she said that she won't give up and she made Taichi all flustered and took take opportunity to kiss him! SLY MOVE YEAAAAAAAH! That OST that played during that scene was pefect.

Loved it when Inaba was blushing and was like "Shoot! My Heart! I kissed him!" and started laughing hysterically to herself. Best episode so far and my favourite. <3

And Iori will lose against Inaban, it's painfully obvious. (passivity is a weakness in love contest, that's why "the nice guy never get the girl")
