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.

Great ep, was grinning even after it finished

This episode is great! Perfect! I could feel the emotion heating up when Iori and Inaba arguing.

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

Not a Inaba fan, but she was amazing this episode. Her emotions, the crying,
Were all fantastic, lots of drama.

I still want Iori to win.

Great episode.

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")


I just hope it won't be too painfull for Iori, Taichi and Inaban, because they are good guys

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Being short on time for me there were 3 parts that were major with 2 being more important than one. On that here is my take.

About Yui x Aoki, there are 2 pleasant parts that got me really going for them in this episode. The first one is in the kitchen in the spoiler
and on that note Yui looks really nice in that apron. Really much like a great wife for Aoki.

The second part is in the spoiler
at the end of the episode there is something that was chemically good between them in their talking. So it’s really good to see they got along more than before so well. It’s UNBELIEVABLE the changes since Yui left her place. It was not too long ago but it seemed like a such huge change of her.

About Iori/Inaba emotionally boosted conversation, indeed both blew out and the good thing was the atmosphere. It was all in a forest so they can go out all the way where they were. One of the particular traits for Inaba fans but also for Iori fans are their expressions. For one Iori’s anger faces in the spoiler
were among THE BEST! In the whole series so far, yes sir indeed for me. The second set with Inaba in the spoiler
was the incredible work done with her tears and in fact like a person that was drown in them talking. It takes a lot to convince a person right and I though it was done right realistically. However the best part for is the following,

No doubt with that sudden smile and ME smiling back while feeling at the same time the good aura of realism. It was a nice moment to like. Until the horrible SOB piece of disgusting pile of ectoplasmic kinesis of disturbing spiritual influence HEARTSEED! Himself took control of Iori in the spoiler
now that ruined it all. Yeah I love calling the longest and worse names Heartseed cause I HATE HIM FOREVER! No one will change that one on me.

About the kiss, well having seen the following,

It’s not doubt it was nice to see. Certainly loads of anime following the trend this week can be either coincidence or some love festival going for some deity considering there are millions of them, it must be a major one but I did not check for why 2 series both have kissing and others before. That aside it was a nice way of ending the arc of Inaba for for she got her sugar dose there like she wanted and longed for it since perhaps Iori kissing him with Inaba’s body. That being said Inaba certainly shows she means all business and wants Taichi for a serious relationship and now Iori must kiss him fast then see what happens from there on.

great way to finish off the "desire" arc! heartseed once again trolling the end was awesome lol

and now the fight for taichi between iori and inaba is official
i'm still pulling for iori x taichi all the way through, but im glad inaba has opened up herself now. the way she acted at the end was NOTHING like how she was before lol

Inaba's gone crazy
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

Inaba really doesn't fail to prove why she continues to be my favorite character in the series.

She was so freaking cute and adorable.

When she cried and let it all out..I was so happy for her. She can finally be happy and fight for Taichi, which no doubt she will win..cause she's awesome!!
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Really nice episode, Inaba's development was fantastic! The fight she had with Iori was a little less dramatic than I was hoping for, but still very good imo. I was slightly surprised at how she slipped in that kiss, quite a dirty trick to try and get ahead of Iori. XD This episode has actually changed my opinion on who I want Taichi with now. Even though I still like Iori more character wise, I think Taichi x Inaba would look better in terms of pairing. ^^



I know i totally want inaba and taichi together, actually i always have since i realized her feelings for him. I'm glad she let them out.

Heartseed/Ballon Vine = troll. He is now my fave character in this show. If only Taichi isn't a generic main character I'll increase my rating, okay I guess I'll increase my rating for now, there 10/10.

That's just great in this episode. So much over-emotional on this one to me.

This is fucking hilarious how people can't even notice Iori, whos most sad and amazing character of this show.You think you would get your InabaxTaichi kiss and happy Inaba if not Iori? no, because its her who made Inaba realize how stupid she is.OF COURSE you don't see her, because selfish fanservice character stays in way.I hope TaichixINABA will work now, because Taichi just doesnt deserve Iori.
Heartseed is IMO a good character.He probably wants to make them all realize their true feelings etc with trolling, which is perfect and really makes my heart racing, because of being so extreme.

5/5 i guess.

Taichi is the luckiest guy in the world, he has two girls going for him, both of them he likes, and if he picks one or the other the one who didn't get picked will have no problem and will still be friends with him and the one he picked. WTF WHY DOESN'T THIS EVER HAPPEN IN THE REAL WORLD. (Okay i know that it isn't the real world but STILL.)
