I can't believe how horrible this anime became. The first season was enjoyable because of introducing the girls and stuff but the second season is so boring and I hate those pantyshot censors with showing some backgrounds, obviously saving for the BD version -.-

I don't think I've seen a MC more dense than Ichika xD Laura's little fantasy of the wagashi was adorable :D Anyways, it seems the trip was at Ichika and Houki's old home.

I feel like next episode is going to be rushed. I don't read the LN but it seems like a lot is going on and I don't know how they're to get it all in on one episode without cutting some parts out and squeezing things together. But I hope we at least get to see Chifuyu in action next episode. I've been waiting to see her fight since forever :S

You won't have to, since almost everything from the start of episode 10 has been anime-original material.

Ahhh okay, thanks for telling me. But Chifuyu does have a fighting scene in the LN, right? Although I'm not sure if it's against Phantom Task or someone else.

No. Well not in an IS anyway.

Another standard episode with no development. There was at least one genuine moment though.

Charlotte is so crafty at getting "dates". Madoka's upgraded IS is lookin' pretty good.

I kept telling myself this whole season that the reason I'm still watching is because Charlotte is the most adorable thing ever..
Season 1 was at least somewhat enjoyable but this??! I think I just went brain-dead. This anime is painful to watch. Takes me DAYS to finish one episode.
But I'm too stubborn to drop a show that I'm almost done with.
If there is a season 3, I'm sorry Charl, but I won't be watching.

Down the cellar we go... Luckily it's only one episode left of Ichika's denseness.

The first season was an 8/10 in my book, this one is 4-5/10. Impressive how they fucked up this so much.

He sure is lucky but I do wonder if he realizes it or not! Either way that ending brings us quite some nice buildup for an amazing final so let's see what the last episode of this season has to offer us!

Tatenashi has male hands
This was a nice advertisement for the Japanese Tourism
There were a lot of nice panorama's and structures shown

Oh I loved the Charlotte x Ichika and Houki x Ichika scenes
Honono's yukata looks beautiful

Mysterious Raidy? fail translation if it should have been lady

The showdown with the phantoms begins!

Lame episode....

All of those IS pilots on the train and noone thinks about calling there IS to stop it?

The spider bitch misses Cecilia and Houki why? So she can talk about stopping them just to not stop them in the last episode?

Madoka doesn't just go after Chifuyu on the train but instead goes after Ichika saying she is going to kill after skipping the perfect chance just to kill him...

Seems the creator of this and many others need to take a note from books/shows like Game of Thrones... no one is safe... NO ONE!

Also, WAY to damn many cliches' in this anime. Caught myself rolling my eyes in EVERY episode... Plus kids these days aren't as dense and prude as Ichika is.

This is about the same as a kids show (good guy pulls through in the end after getting his ass kicked) that tried to be mature (ecchi added).

Wow what a change of plans....very curious how it will end.

Wow, I must say that the direction of this Anime (season 2) is really bad, sorry. Everything is almost a mess =_=. They introduced Tatenashi and many episodes are focused on her, and now that the problem with Kanzashi is solved, they stopped showing her (That scene where Kanzashi immediately tried to return Tatenashi on the bag and in the truck was hilarious though). They introduced Madoka and then in the next episodes they rarely showed her, they did show her this episode, but it's the fucking last episode next for fuck's sake =_= Oh well, I just watch this for fun and for the girls anyway.

Those sceneries are really beautiful.
Cecilia should have slapped Ichika for doing that with the camera. Man, Ichika is really stupid, isn't he?? Don't worry, girls, I am coming.
Ohhh Laura, you never fail to amuse me ahahaha.
I guess Houki won judging by those flashbacks and that picture.
Well, let's see the last episode.

In Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Kodaka is some what on par with Ichika in how he responds to his fellow club members feelings towards him such as when it might be a date accidentally everyone is invited, loose compliments taken deeply by the girls, favoritism towards one makes the pack jealous with rage, and so on. However later it is revealed Kodaka was not that stupid and was acting due to his fear of losing the bonds he created/restored if he picked someone.

Ichika in this episode he puts himself in multiple situations where one is singled out and the group hate him and whoever he is with until they are included, leads Charlotte into a situation where she says my favorite line "Ichika no Ecchi!", brings out the adorable side of Laura, and so on. Roughly 60%+ of an episode is stuck repeating the same situations( Tatenashi is straight forward and I was hoping for something solid but all I got was her being replaced by her sister...?) and trying to avoid advancing the plot it seems. I enjoy the girls' personalities, the fights when they happen, and his intentions of being a stand up guy but I see him hooking up with Chifuyu-nee before anyone else.

Dude, I really hope that Ichika is just acting, because he is stupid as shit.

Kanzashi and Ichika put Tatenashi back in the bag and send her off xD
It surprised me that Ichika actually went along with it.

Madoka again appears and this time she wants to take Chifuyu's life.

The harem was ok, Laura's throwing that knife was pretty good.

Lol at Laura's wish. Laura's scene with the bunny sweets. That was funny.

1 episode left. I feel like it's going to be rushed as hell. It looks like there's a lot of things left to do.

there, if you have censored version then behold, that was what you always wanted to see. Typical Charl, she still doesn't wear stripped panties :P

HOW can you take a picture with girl standing there, and who is preparing a pose, and go for fucking leaves behind it! Honestly it's not even stupidity, it's just trolling...

I was indifferent towards the dumb lines of the MC and how he ruins almost every romantic moment but it's just getting annoying already. Can't they think of anything else.

A plot at the end of the episode. Great...
One more to go.

Waaaaaaay too slow of an episode. I feel that the writers are scrambling to find content to stuff into an episode, for the only interesting part to the episode was the last minute or so. Season Finale will be good, but this wasn't like any of the pre-season finale episodes I always love.

"Another" had a good pre-season finale along with pretty much every "Smallville" preseason finale (American show, I know).

I feel that Episode 10 sort of had that vibe, but only the good stuff happened in the end again... Writers, please do your job and write a decent pre-season finale episode. It should be a cliffhanger, but all I am feeling from this episode ending is "I am not in dire need to watch the last episode as much as I should."

At this point I can only question Ishika's mental health. Seriously what is going on here. Was he abused as a child? Is he on the autism spectrum? Is he mentally handicapped? Is he closeted or a very sex-averse but romantic asexual? On some level, he clearly likes girls and understands basic human interaction. But it's getting to the point where I think all words that touch his eardrums are distorted.

They were attacked 3 separate times at their school...which for some reason doesn't seem fortified enough or well guarded, so they decide to go out on a class trip and allow students to just wonder around on their own?
