Ahh yes, the mandatory school culture festival. I wish they had events like this in the states.


My all girls Catholic high school had it. Every year we had a cultural festival and fashion show, where kids in classes and classes would win prizes.

My elementary school had a sports event where classes would battle each other in different relay events...year after year after year and it only be done though with the junior high students. That was Catholic school too, so I'm not sure how other kids did it.

Wow, the I loved the ending of this episode. So deep and touching, almost made me cry :)

I wonder if her dad did something really bad and disgusting like trying to touch her or it's just that she can't stand her step mother... I mean Taiga REALLY hates him O_o So that's the only reason I can think of atm.

Wow Ryuuji is really violet =s I didn't expect that from him!

This anime is getting more and more interesting!

Minori is a pervert, having nose bleeding at thought of haunted houses xD


Yeah, I don't quite understand Minori yet, to say the least.

On the one hand, she uses the ghosts & UFOs as tropes for describing the mystery of "true love," which got ridiculously obtuse in the "summer getaway" episode. Then she also uses them to change the subject when she's obviously uneasy with Ryuuji's affection. And then she turns around and has an *actual* nosebleed-inducing fetish for it?

... Bitch is messed up in head o_O

taiga: "he's the guy who re-married, decided that i was inconvenient, rented me an apartment then threw me out of his house" 7:69-7:54.
she's mad because she feels abandoned by her father. (knowing her, she's probably exaggerating. but i suppose it goes along those lines)

lol i liked minori's nose bleed.
i wonder what was actually going through her mind.

Taiga seemed like a b*tch towards her father at the beginning of the show, but with the help of Ryuuji, she finally saw him.

Well I could say that episode was ok... The part about cultural festival was ok, best parts were when Taiga was pro wrestling with Ami. Kushieda was funny with that bald head... oh yeah and that nosebleed... man too bad someone other then Yuusaku didn't saw it. xD

And when she got annoyed...


The end was nice... I laughed my ass off when Taiga hit her shitty dad between the legs. xD But then Ryuuji reacted, that scene almost made me cry *not as RYUUJI IS MINE! I cried my ass of then*, but was touchy... ^^

I understand how Taiga feels, it was sweet though when she went because she didn't want to see Ryuuji sad like that.

And poor Taiga and Ryuuji have to be the "bad guys" in the wrestling play, lol

Also liked how they avoided the cliche cosplay cafe. 4/5

Agreed, although I didn't particularly end up like what they were doing anyway. XD A pro-wrestling-type-play...? I feel bad for Ryuuji, who has to play as the delinquent "henchman" for Taiga. Well, at least no one seriously thinks he is a delinquent anymore~.

Taiga moved into her own apartment to get away from her dad... but she wasn't paying for it, which isn't really fair. It was probably a huge financial drain on her dad. ._.''

Anyway... I enjoyed the episode. Too bad everything seemed to go in Ami's favour, though!

Hah funny how the "delinquents" are played by Taiga and Takasu in the play. I also got a selfish feeling from Taiga's dad but I still felt that Taiga should hear him out. It really is that Takasu is projecting on Taiga regarding family. I'm glad those two are so close and that Taiga ended up going because of him

Taiga is right to don't give a fuck about her father, but yeah, she should at least hear him out.

It was a really good episode. Haruro (the guy that lead the class) is so retarded.

I don't know what to think about the situation... Her father dosen't seem like a bad guy, but we don't know the whole story. Also, is he gonna go to her appartement or will she move out with him to another place? If so, they'll see less. Also, she'll need less Ryuuji. Also, like I said, he doesn't look like an asshole, but some time, people who don't look like an asshole are the biggest asshole.

Meh. An ok episode, Taiga's father plotline is kinda interesting, but everything else in this episode was pretty boring. It's starting to drag, we are almost halfway through the series and i don't really feel like there has been much progression. Might drop it soon if it doesn't pick up.

Why do Japanese people like maid outfits so much? Unless it's extremely slutty, I don't see the appeal.
