| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So, just watched this one. It covers the same time frame as the last chapter in volume two of the manga (the New Year's chapter). I really liked it. Anyone else seen it? |

| I liked it overall, it was nice, but it's kinda annoying seeing a bajilionth anime character having a cold. |
| Well, it is a slice-of-life show, and people tend to get colds and/or the flu during the winter. :) |

| Excellent episode! I love this show so much!! The flashback was great, and Momiji's line about Kou and Aoba fitting together was perfect. Looks like we get to see some more into the team next ep...Urahara Out!! |

Translucent said: Wow, that must've been the first RAW anime episode I understood above 90% Loved the part where Aoba was sleeping next to Kou >< I liked Momiji's comment about it better. :) |

| I am almost at my limit with this series -_- |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| So High School is starting next episode. Can't wait :D |
 |
| Mainly a pure background ep.. Kinda wish they would hurry up and get to some of the further plot (dont want to get yelled at for talking about future stuff. ;( ) anyways its still decent and pretty much overlaping the manga... from what I can remember |
 |
| So they skipped all the stuff with Wakaba so that they could do episodes like this and last weeks? I don't get it really. I am really hating Aoba at this point, and as a viewer, I'm absolutely not rooting for the two of them to get together, and I hate that they are laying the groundwork (saying they fit together) when they just don't. Kou is fine because he's relaxed, but Aoba is just a big bitch for no apparent reason. I just can't stand her. And what is it with Adachi and present yet negletful parents? |
| How are the parents neglectful? |

| It definitely isn't as bad as Touch, where Tatsuya's parents were good for nothing, but I already see goofy parent syndrome in Kou's parents...then Aoba's Dad seems to not really mind leave Momiji with the completely incapable Aoba. |
| good ep |
 |

| I don't know. Was she? |
| Awesome. I freaking love this anime. |
canephalanx said: Aoba wasn't an emo bitch in the manga? I wouldn't consider Aoba a bitch. She's nice to everyone but Koh and that's only because the sister she loved was always with him. Basically I think she's just jealous that Wakaba spent all her (short) time with Koh. |

| Well yeah I think she begin to like Kou a bit longer in this series. :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Loved it!, the plot may have not moved but there was some great development between Aoba and Kou in this one. Seems like the next one will move the plot along a bit though. One of my favorites this season! thanks for the subs heibi :) i have been watching yours and they are great. |
| showed a lot of kou how hes being the nice guy and all. girls have to fall for him imo~~ too bad i am not like him^^; |
     |
| A good episode that has helped me appreciate Momoji more. |
| I don't dislike this episode at all. In fact, I like it! I guess the next episode shows that we will have another time skip to high school. I'm sure that we can finally see those guys in baseball action! |

I'm sure that we can finally see those guys in baseball action! Well, they mentioned in #5 that it will be April before you know it. So they didn't really skip. I didn't notice that when I watched this episode. Probably, I might have missed it. Anyway, I'm expecting that to happen. However, it doesn't mean that I dislike it or anything. I really like the pacing now. |
|
| Yoshi, time to stop getting lazy and actually participate in the discussion... Episode 5 remains to be my favorite episode in the series, and I probably owe it to being able to relate with the very moments in the episode. I can't help but cry at Momiji's dream flashback... such a sweet sweet moment TT___TT Simple moments that prove to be life-changing, Cross Game showed us exactly just that, and a whole lot more. <33 |
| Another great episode. Particularly moving part was then Kou grabbed Aoba's collar when she said something she wasn't meant to. |
 |
| That was my favorite part of the episode. "May I borrow a pot?" :D |

| Ahhh..warm episode |

Don't hate Aoba that much, but I am not rooting for them to be together...this is one of those animes where I am fine with him not ending with anybody. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Really nice episode ^_^ Kou is a really kind guy. No wonder the older sister trust Kou more than Aoba Aoba enraged Kou... Even though it's pretty common to tell someone to "go die" during a fight... It certainly is a sensitive subject to Kou when it comes to the Tsukishima sisters... He still misses Wakaba, the same goes to the Aoba and Momiji. |

| I really liked the interaction between characters in this episode. Kou and Aoba were pretty close while sleeping, though Aoba didn't intend to get that close to Kou. |
| The collar grab surprised me. Talk about subtle emphasis. On that note, I dislike Aoba's hostile attitude toward everyone. Those Wakaba flashbacks are also getting out of hand. And arghh, yet another anime cold! Complaints aside, I'm really enjoying this series. Each episode is plain relaxing to watch :) |
| Wow, Kou was pretty awesome when he was just a little kid. I love the heart-sinking feeling when Momiji mentioned her mom. |

| I liked it... Really liked it. It was nice watching the two take care of Momiji - though, in reality, it seems like Kou did most of the work. XD He's really good with Momiji (probably with kids in general, I'm guessing - he seems like he's just a "great guy" in general). Aoba is a good sister in her own way... She shouldn't measure herself versus Wakaba and try and live up to Wakaba... She isn't Wakaba, she's Aoba. Hope she can be happy with herself. D: I can't believe the parents in this anime are so... irresponsible? Neglectful? o_O'' Anyhow. Can't believe it fastforward to spring already?! But looking forward to the next episode. :D |
| i loved ko's reaction to aoba's comment... some good tension there lol |
"I am the bone of my sword, Steel is my body and Fire is my blood, I have created over a thousand blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life, Have withstood pain to create many weapons, Yet, those hands will never hold anything, So as I pray, unlimited blade works" |
| I love this anime... |
 |
| Great episode once again. I really enjoyed Momiji's flashback. |
 |
| Kou...what a guy. They keep showing Wakaba flashbacks and it's kind of weird. While everyone in the Cross Game universe seem to have moved on and happily carrying on with their lives, I still feel sad whenever I see her. How awesome it would have been if only she didn't die. Momiji's adorable and seems more level-headed than Aoba. I like her already :) |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| ''I can't be a good elder sister like Wakaba...'' The scar are still fresh. Feeling useless hurt. It was so sweet and sad at the same time when she hugged Koh while saying ''You're warm, Waka''... Aoba is so tsun :P And Momiji is so cute :3 A little bit of devellopment between Aoba and Koh. She was a bit forced to accept him in since her sister wanted it and she was feeling powerless, but in the end, she thanked him, something she would not have done one episode ago. |

| The hugging Kou while asleep part was cute! |
| This Episode was just a Load of Adorable and Decently Heartwarming Moments.(except for the parents leaving which was a bit Odd) The Sleeping Scene Was really cute although i'm still debating on the whole shipping Fiasco right now. i still don't really Like Aoba as a Romantic character so far. As a comedic, supporting yes but not Romantic. Still another Great episode! |

Still not an excuse for how Kou was treated especially when Kou was helping Momiji through her fever. I do consider her an absolute flaming bitch right now. Especially with the whole drop dead comment to Momiji. She so incredibly self absorbed and incapable of taking any sort of criticism or comment. Yes she lost her sister who she was attached to at the hip, guess what, everyone else lost her too!!! |
 |
| Great episode, not every one can possibly be this heartfelt. I really like Kou's character. |
 |
| I've got to hand it to Kou for being able to put up with Aoba's fatuous attitude. There's a difference between being a pushover and being mature. Kou is the latter. If I were to be in Kou's position, then I would be at my limit, and tables would be flipping. I'm mindful that Aoba has some jealousy issues because of her sister complex. Still, I'm tired of her antagonizing Kou and making him out to be some pathetic guy -- especially when he's far from that. Even she's probably aware of that, but she refuses to face reality for self-satisfying reasons. ...is what I thought until I reached the ending. Seems like she's improving a bit. |

| Lol at the Coach being identical to the coach in Touch. I'm thinking of putting this on hold and watching something else to get Touch out of my system so I can watch this without Touch constantly on my mind XD. |
