Quir said: Noone thought of the others trying to bring Ryuuji and Taiga together (the last scene)? Yeah that's what I figured. I mean I don't see what else it could have been anyways, unless there's some odd explanation for it. Anyways, good episode like usual. |

| This episode was LOLs all the way. I've raised my rating for this series to a 10. Quir said: I thought that and cried inside. X)Noone thought of the others trying to bring Ryuuji and Taiga together (the last scene)? Leon-Gun said: Hmm. Interesting idea. It's quite possible, as this is slated to be 25 episodes long.slayer545 said: Well, the strange hate for the supernatural, added to the fact she was the first to start hiding the love talk with the supernatural talk leads me to think her scars are love-related. Psychological or Physical abuse maybe? It would explain the quirky and always positive facade.So Kushieda hates scary things/UFOs/Supernatural occurrences. This is a stupid speculations but maybe Kushieda got kidnapped by Aliens and abused! Who knows but she did say most afraid is UFOs. |

Boony said: I liked this episode. In fact, it's probably my favorite episode so far. This kuroshiroi said: Ryuuji and Ami are my favorite characters though, mostly because they seem closer to normal people than anime characters and they have some major psychological issues. Ryuuji is a cleaning freak, even going so far as to clean the house by himself while all the others were at the beach. There are some other issues but they kind of pale in comparison to Ami's. As a result, they feel much more real. And THIS! Plus Minorin relating the ghost with love and Taiga in the back massage with feet xD All this chapter was so funny and pure win. All girls approaching more and more to Ryuuji. I like that =) Kouta~ |

| so did Minorin actually understand what Ryuuji was eluding to in that extended ghost metaphor? |

JadeMatrix said: Yes, there's plenty of time to develop everyone. Minorin is on the top on my list for that, since everything about her screams of something bad hidden. Taiga's been getting the most attention so far, and her interactions with Ryuuji have given us insights into Ryuuji's way of thinking. Sometimes developing a character isn't always expositing about the details of their past. It's also seeing their way of thinking and how they react to their enviroment. If anything, the character that's been actually ignored is Kitamura, so they better give him something to raise him from his "supporting character" status.Hmm. Interesting idea. It's quite possible, as this is slated to be 25 episodes long. Gargron said: Huh? Well, if you find Kitamura sexy maybe. xD Actually, now that I think about it, they've been focusing a lot on making Kitamura look like a hunk (how can a "bookworm" kind of guy like him get such a hulking body anyway?).it was very funny but too ecchi i think...

About the above, is it not a message that most likely means although you may be a nerd in real life, you can still get girls cause Kitamura is like that in a anime yet he can? |

If you have forgotten, Kitamura is the captain of the baseball team. He might look like a "nerd", but unless you are somewhat of a "hunk", I doubt you could become the captain of the baseball team. |
| hi |
| Wow this was probably the funnest episode yet, and wow even Ryuuji was being comical. Thought I was going to die of laughter with that camera phone scene. IT'S BLACK AND HAIRY!!!! Hahahahahah! XD |

Harout said: Hahahahahhhaahah! That part from the moment Kitamura came with the towel till afterwards made me LOL as much as many people who said already. Hell I think I am going to see this episode more than 5 times! :P |

kenshin322 said: Physically fit, yes. But believe me here, my brother played baseball a lot and he wasn't exactly the most muscular person around. As a matter of fact, there's plenty of regular-looking baseball players, especially in high school. There's also plenty of fatties but let's not get into that. I guess I can buy that, but it's a very loosely implied idea.Leon-Gun said: Huh?

| The boing, boing BOING scene was fucking hilarious aswell. I was laughing so hard that my throat started hurting. It's really nice how this anime becomes even better by each episode, even though it's so hard to accomplish as each episode is so god damn funny. |

| Bahahaha, one of the funniest episodes of any show i've yet seen, laughs every couple of minutes, EPIC. Also, the "boing, and then boing, and BOING" holy shit i had to pause it while i laughed XD, they just kept leading one into another. |

| Really good and entertaining episode but there were a few lame parts like the wtf greetings at the train station. But like everyone else already mentioned: shower scene, boing-boing, curry, romantic relations, ami = win |
| Poor Ya-chan doesnt he even care about her o_O she will starve to death before hes back o_O Yaaa-chaaan *sob* but this one is nice n_n |

| well she will have to go out eating but ... there isnt food with her name written on it o_O she will have a hard time XD poor Ya-chan XD i bet she cries alot when he is back XD |

| CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!! Seems like Kushieda just doesn't want a boyfriend. Maybe the events at the end were caused by the other people living in the house; maybe this was all one big ploy to get Taiga and Ryuuji together, eh eh eh?? MAYBE! |
| So here's what I think. Ryuuji likes Minori Taiga likes Kitamura Kitamura likes Minori because he already understands that it wont work with Taiga unless they get to know each other better (which isn't happening) and get to the point where her and Ryuuji are at right now. Minori likes Ryuuji but is in the same boat with Kitamura as Ryuuji is with Taiga. So I suspect she will end up having feelings for Kitamura sometime down the road. Ami likes Ryuuji because he ignores her and treats her like a normal person. It looks like she already knows who likes who already by her facial expressions. |

| got sick so i watched this ep. late XD the episode seems to be a bit intriguing coz it leaves a lot of questions to the viewers.. i want to know if minorin is talking about her right man or the ghost... :-) |

| this is the second time. i know i've heard this background music before. in the game Yume Miru Kusuri. maybe it's the Funczion Sounds group doing more than just than games. i swear i've heard this music elsewhere... |

Then it should heal more cause your Anti-bodies are getting sort of emotional boost but it's harder to explain. Keep on watching shows like that cause diseases sucks! |

| ~de Arimasu |
| i guess no development ryuji and taiga's relationship.. unexpected development for ryuji and minorin.. im starting to think that there is a possiblity that both ryuji and taiga may end up being with the person they like |
 |
| Best episode of the show yet...by far. I really liked the quirky things like at the station. Kitamura's towel scene was funny also. |
| Did Kitamura has to walk around in a towel with three girls in the house? |
HoaRy said: Rebella said: Did Kitamura has to walk around in a towel with three girls in the house? Is he an exhibitionist? :D He is just one who doesn't care about those things, most of people probably won't go somewhere to a male friend with just a towel. Would you walk around the house in a towel with three girls? xD He might be the type of character who's too mature for his company. |
| LMAO!!!! Great Episode!! |
 |
| Roffle. This episode had me laughing my ass off. I rarely do get good kicks out of anime, but I loved every bit of this episode. I start to love the characters, each more and more! I couldn't get enough of Minorin! She is sooo cute. Taiga especially in this one too, the whole dream thing...awhs. Taiga describing Ami being naked, "boing...boing..." XDD! I want MORE >:3 I wouldn't be suprised if it was Ami behind this spooky stuff, she seems annoyed at the fact Ryuuji doesn't pay too much attention to her, dun dun dun. |
 |
| the tiger fall in loveee. |
 |
| Seriously one of the funniest episodes so far. Ryuuji's dream was kinda.... strange. Oo Ami is like "boing". lol |
| This was a cute episode. It was great to see a different side to Minorin when she was talking with Ryuuji about how she doesn't believe in ghosts because she can't see them. Loved the subtext there. Highlights of the episode for me: •Minorin's snapshots of naked Kitamura •Ryuuji whining to Taiga after he was tricked by Ami •"Boing" •Seaweed monster xD |
 |
| lol at this episode taiga and minori is metally scared forevre xD |
| lol |
| ha this episode was almost perfect XD |
| This episode is just priceless!!!!! the best one yet!!! XD |
     |
| lols Toradora is soo funny and cute cant wait for next episode when they are in the cave ^^ |
 "...and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" |
| Minorin was freaking awesome in this episode. Everytime she had some screentime she made me laugh really hard :P And Taiga is really cute to. Points for Kitamura tho, the sheer guts to go in the kitchen naked with 3 girls... |
"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water." -Wystan Hugh |
| Am I the only one who wouldn't be sad if Ryuuji ended up with Minori? I think either couple would be cute. I just wish Taiga would show Ryuuji more appreciation if they're going to end up together. I did like the scene at the end where they're sitting in the livingroom. She warms her feet on his back - it shows such great closeness you never see in anime. |
