Great backstory episode. I seriously don't remember reading this part in the manga though. Yeah, some fanservice for females especially lol. Haha Yoshino's 'payback' was pure genius. He seriously is gonna shine heaps later.

Hakaze is so cute. Wow, I can't get enough of Miyuki Sawashiro's voice. Too good.
Next episode looks great, back to the action and the plot thickens.

@Mahiro's naked body: Woah ho ho ho./shot
Before i found out what fanservice was i'd assume this was normal and for the sake of dramatics. Now i can't stop thinking "female fanservice!"

Anyway, great back story episode. Since the moment the odd pair was introduced, i'd been curious as to how their friendship came to be. Pretty amusing how it did.

it was a little gay, but if girls can tolerate all the fanservice for guys, then i'll do my part.
That is very noble of you, lol.

Seeing a naked guy in an anime would be the same as seeing a naked girl in an anime. To be honest, I'm tired of seeing so much bath scenes involving a girl with barely any clothing on so this is something refreshing to me, in a way.

Somehow.

Does anyone know if this is gonna be one of those retarded two season or short series? if it is i'm dropping it immediately. I still can't get over Guilty Crown lol.


99% of Anime these days don't last longer than two cours (~24 ep's) per season run. You may as well stop watching Anime altogether.


agree. the mentality of Lestat84 sure is need of enlightenment.

Next episode will have action and will introduce another girl (who apparently likes to eat according to the OP).
I'm looking forward to more.

Nice with some insight in Yoshino and Mahior's backstory. I was starting to wonder just how the two of them had ended up becoming friends since Mahiro has this whole superior attitude going.

Other than that, Mahiro's body........ *drools*

fanservice episode for the female audience, imo

Haha I thought the same thinking, and I was happy. Girls need their fanservice too.

Now if they showed a shower scene with Aika or the princess you wouldn't complain. Instead you'd drool over the scene, but god forbid there is any fanservice for girls.


I really want to know how Mahiro's sister and Yoshin got into a relationship. I think it might be a key point to their friendship even though Mahiro was unaware of what was really going on.

But are they really friends? Yes, they've been tied together by fate and by their relationship with Aika, but I think they really might not be friends in the classic sense. I'm also getting the feeling that Yoshino's reasons for getting involved may be much more complex than we've been led to believe, and that we shouldn't take anything he says at face value.
Please don't feed the trolls!

It was an interesting back story, I actually thought that they were friends before the accident and all.

yah cause girls totally dont watch stuff, if theres any sexulization of males then it must totally be for gays, they probably just threw in his ass because for the rest of the series their is a big breasted half naked chick as a main character
DEEEEEM!Well said.

What a beautiful episode. I loved the background story about how Yoshino and Mahiro became friends. Those two were meant to together.
^-^ We have some awesome bromance here, which is very rare in anime. I can't think of any other very good bromances in anime atm. Maybe Okazaki in Clannad with Sunohara, but other than that nothing pops up in my head.

This nice background story between these two characters really got me interested in how Mahiro will react if he finds out that Yoshino went out with his little sister and kept it a secret.

I say the background story was messed up on Mahiro's part, Yoshino helping and telling that esay was funny.

5/5 because backstory and atmosphere. A break from all the fights, I needed that.
Mahiro can't survive without Yoshino now, Yoshino proved that he is a good cook ♥

While Aika in the following,

Was gorgeous, she still really was slutty in the spoiler
going on a date with Mahiro while I am pretty sure she was with Yoshino at the same time during that date.

Are you saying she has a doppelganger of herself or something? I facepalmed. That scene of her with Mahiro we've seen it before, she usually rides the bicycle with him. Yoshino and her in the preview, they were in an aquarium. And seriously something is wrong with how you take screenshots, you take every frame of a naked body whether that's a female's or male's? You analyzing anime is way too serious yet doesn't make sense.

Oh boy, they became friends under unusual circumstances. I still can't digest the fact that Yoshino was dating his sister and Mahiro doesn't seem to know it.

I'm interested about that scar on Mahiro's chest, I wonder if it was from the accident?
