----------------------------------------
Me make another topic. I don't know what's happening to this show. And lately, Sai and Nerine has less screen time now. XD

Why is this show making so intense play!? My heart is really pounding toki-doki. I have the same feeling when watching the NICE BOAT thing; and for the record, it made me so emotionless for almost 3 days. I don't want to experience that again, but now this show makes me want to remember it. Arghh!

Why are everyone rooting for Kaede? Because she's the only one who cares so much for Rin, right?!

But, take a look at her bad sides. You'll see many. I'm not just going to put it all here. But I'm still voting for Asa till the end.

Kaede is way too obvious so chances are Rin isn't going to end up with her. Though I'm rooting for her too :(:(. But TBH you can never go wrong with the green hair girl haha

You don't need to sum up the flashback scenes completely ^.^
I'm quite surprised that this show starts with ep19 - so there are 6 episodes until the end - to build up to the climax.
And I finally saw Kaede's scary face you often see in AMV or Sigs Oo

Yeah, Kaede may seem all sweetness and light, but she can be one hell of a bitch when it comes down to it...Talk about the duality of human nature!

That episode felt like I had been punched in the chest and had the wind knocked out of me. It was like "Holy *bleep*, that was heavy."

I found it interesting that Rin never yelled at Kaede that BOTH of his parents were gone. He just took it all for her.

Kaede's good side is already annoying because she has the clingy girl character feel to it. Now her bad side is just freaky and psycho as bad as school days.

Asa wins it all with her funny, energetic personality and the hotness

Yeah but don't you think Rin owns A LOT because of the past towards Kaede....Why the f*** move away when he can still stay in the house AND NOT EVEN WORK? I would do THAT until I finish school at least!

Haha, I'm getting the School Days vibe also from her. The pot stirring was CREEPY.

I thought it was going to build up another episode or so and she would have done something more drastic.

Holy crap Kaeda has some serious issues!
It would be terrible (and interesting) if she actually kille Asa.
Best ep of the series so far.
Shuffle never ceases to amaze me. One moment it's a lighthearted school-comedy,the next, an intense romance/drama.

damn it was getting good but it really got interesting here. I guess Kaede was really dependant on Rin and when he kind of ignored her and spent all his time with sia/nerine and now asa she really lost it ... again. the atmosphere and music were perfect in the psycho scenes. I could of seen a Nice Boat ending there.

I can see why these girls like this guy though. he lost his parents and only tried to cheer Kaede up, and she practicly tortured the poor kid. I still feel bad for her but it's hard to. I can see why he'd pick Asa if he does. I give credit though at the beginning it didn't seem Asa had a chance and Sia or even Kaede was a lock.

What a dramatic episode, glad they explained Kaede's obsession with the flash back and even though Asa makes for a really suitable couple I feel sorry for Kaede. But I'd have to agree we saw nothing of Sia and Nerine this episode O_O

I somehow knew it from the very beginning that Kaede was a psycho. There was never anything else besides serving Rin. That's one empty life there.
I just hope Asa doesn't die somehow. She's been the only really likeable girl to me in this anime.

Rin really knows how to attract the emotionally disturbed girls. I don't know what's wrong with Asa, but the rest of the girls are messed up. Split personalities, evil twin, a girl that combined with her clone, and a artifical girl.

Oh, my. This was one hell of an episode o.o Really intense and now so many things make much more sense with Kaede's history explained. Some scary shit going on.
Kaede always seemed fishy to me. xD I just hope Rin will pick Asa in the end...though we still need to know what's really up with her. And it's understandable now why Rin is so popular with the girls. He's a truly likeable guy for a harem-protagonist =DD
I'm feeling a bit sorry for Kaede, too, because...actually she's got absolutely no right to keep Rin forcefully by her side considering what she did to him all those years...o.O And then her psycho-self is taking over...Sheesh.

-gulp- Wow.. my first yandere character... and it had to be that bad..

the attack scene brought back bad memories for me. This crazy woman once attacked me and my mom in our home, and knocked us to the wall, and I could see that happening..again..

aargh! I still side with Kaede though. Asa.. I've known too many girls like her, who seem so nice.. but that's all they are. Nice.

And you can't make a happy ending, you can only make an ending..

All i wanted to say has ben said already...but... i cant...FU*******!!!! Why the hell do they destroying this show D: < ? I HATE THIS EPISODE! AND IM STARTING TO HATE KAEDE :/

I hope that this anime will not end like school days which i hate event thou i didn't watched it (to be more precisely because of my very high level empathy I can't watch shows like school days because nobody can tell what will happen with me after that ^^") but man... WHAT THE HELL are they doing = = stop it already. . . I want my old Shuffle storyline and I want nice harem ending. . . T_T (but now Without Kaede >,< ) grrr this episode has pissed me off to that extend I'm gone explode and destroy my whole city in a couple of minutes = = grrrrrrrr :/!

I just hope that they (the producers) don't destroy this show even more, and hope that. . . this wont end bad. . . and wont end like. . . some psycho like Kaede is killing someone. . . I will not stand it that's for sure >.> . . . and . . . if so. . . I'm considering to drop this anime before it freak's me out. . . well i was considering this before when i watched this episode but still... I will give it another chance and watch thought but if i see a sign of a Nice Boat Scene i deleting this shit out >.> (well not out. . . i still love this show till the 18 episode but 19 is to much. . .)


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for now i'm going to sleep i need to think it thought and about. . .

My words: :eaten:

So I no longer think Rin is a completely selfish brat.
Now, I just think he's a nice guy who's not the sharpest knife in the box.

Still cheering for Asa, though, since Sia left the picture ages ago. :)

The first half of this episode reminded me of Higurashi which = win.

And at least now I understand Kaede's devotion to Rin a bit more.
It's not that I want him to go for Kaede, but he should at least be fair to her. He can't leave her to take care of him and the house while he is having another girl...

I am still rooting for Primula though, even if I know that was never a possibility..

I found this episode horribly reminding my of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which made me feel sick to my stomach, well the first four episodes where it's circling Keiichi's life. The rest I was okay with, even the nail-remover scene along with the torture and stuff. Seriously though, Kaede reminds me of Rena, who scares me a little and to top it all off doing something like dropping a knife onto his eye is something which makes me thing of 'her'. Then her complaining about her dead mom, when Rin's parents were both dead. He feels double the pain, plus more because of Kaede.

And that is why I do not like Kaede and want Rin to go with Asa-senpai. :)

Anyway, I seriously love this show. It's like a realistic harem - harem's don't go smoothly like they usually are portrayed, and this is a great example. Plus all the characters are very lovable, and the music is great. Shuffle is easily setting itself up for a final 10/10 in my book.

Kaede should just go die in a fire.

She just seems like she wants Rin all to herself, despite all the things she put him through as they were growing up.

I dont know how Rin could forgive her for the knife thing, I sure as hell wouldnt.

Asa is supposed to be her friend as well, just how could she on good conscience wish such things on her just because she is getting on really well with Rin?

It's sad that Sia and Nerrine seem to have been pushed to the side but I have to agree with a lot of people in the fact that I feel Asa is one of the best choices he can make. At least for the moment.

Man Kaede's eyes in this episode freaked me out a bit.........

You know if Rin didn't lie to her trying to make it sound like it was his fault that her mom took an earlier flight home and got in the accident, maybe she would not have been a psycho bitch to him while they were growing up. But I guess he told that lie because he was trying to protect in her in a way so that she doesn't blame herself for the accident.

Not trying to justify Kaede's actions, what she did to Rin was not cool at all, but he should not have lied either.

Seems like this anime is trying to knock out all the possible choices Rin could choose. Seems like Asa is the only possible choice left unless they figure out a way to make her psycho too.....
