Cratex said: Scoops said: Sure it is, if you've never had relatives like that.What a nice grandfather! This is just silly, srsly. The silliest part was that she actually gave up on it. Ohh well, might just be me that really can't relate to it at all. |
| Well I personally loved this episode and the drama that it had. I can understand why Rita felt the way that she did and how frustrating those feelings can get. And the way she showed her true emotions and self in this episode actually made me love her even more, almost as much as I do with Mashiro and Nanami. That outburst of Rita's was hard to watch and I found it to be heartbreaking, especially with the looks that she and Mashiro had on their faces :(. Mashiro's shocked and crying face when she found out how Rita truly felt and Rita's crying and frustrated expression as she broke down. This made the makeup scene with the two of them embracing each other afterwards so much more heartwarming and touching. LOVED that smile from Rita at the end. <3 |

| Wish tsubasalover would stop recapping the episode. It's pointless since the majority of the people commenting have already seen the episode. |
 |
| I knew I'd like Ryuunosuke. Says what he wants (which is usually right) without being swayed by emotion while also being a genius at the same time. |
 |
| Nice episode Rita regained her confidence in painting, although she was really annoying in the process blaming all of her worries on Mashiro And Ryunosuke did the right thing imo |
| Ryuunosuke has definitely become my favorite character. |

Takuan_Soho said: Well, lets be honest, Mashiro really did deserve a lot of the blame. Mashiro so easily left behind everything and took up new things (dropped painting for Manga, England for Japan, Rita for Sorata) Wrong. Mashiro did nothing wrong. Rita was the one who convinced Mashiro to try doing manga in the first place. |
 |
Takuan_Soho said: Mashiro eats food at stores without considering how it will be paid. She is barely functional on a daily basis, requiring someone to do "Mashiro Duty". Did you forget that she bought lucky charm for Sorata during pool episode by herself? She's learning and this is whole point of story. You also forget that Sorata likes taking care of things, animals, people. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: I didn't want to say this but she is technically a parasite............taking the help and destroying people around her in the process. Proof: All the other artists left because they could never compare to her no matter how hard they try. Rita's grandfather told her to give up because she can never be as good as Shinna need more? You serioulsly blaming Mashiro being talented as fault of others resigning. You mean all talented people shouldn't making usefulness of their talents because talentless one will feel bad? Also: Stop applying IRL logic to anime for a Christ sake. |

| How touching. They made up but Rita still feels the same way about Mashiro's future. Rita's logic is so twisted though."Someone's better than me at something I love and live for, so I'm going to stop doing it altogether." That Ryousuke. He's very intelligent and his dislike for girls is pretty funny. And is that him in a maid uniform after the ED?! |
 |
| The main reason I probably view things in favor of Shinna is because I am reminded of someone sitting in the autism spectrum. I know that is largely because of our world's fondness for over-diagnosing everyone. I'm also most likely projecting, but that's alright because we come from the world with all different views. My corner is the one where years ago my psychologist suggested I might have Asperger's. I don't believe it but I can see where Shiina is in her difficulties in even understanding people. My personal baggage aside, I do feel as if Rita may also ignore Shiina as a person. Shiina said Rita's art was beautiful and she was standing there admiring it at the art show. But Rita either didn't take note of it or brushed it aside in favor of her impression of Shiina. That and her wanting Shiina to acknowledge those around her to me felt just like she wanted Shiina to see her as something important. Not that the other students mattered any. I doubt any of the others would have been happy if Shiina turned around and said they somehow helped her get to where she is. Which they probably didn't since I didn't see anyone helping her with her art. |

| This show makes me feel worthless. But why am I so hooked on to it? |
| Hello :D |
SetsukoHara said: Maybe some rich family want to boast that their child/grandchild can do this, that, etc to others. But like in the exhibition in the episode, even Sorata and Aoyama couldnt notice Rita's painting because Mashiro's. And her granpa may think this is such a shame and pointless to Rita to continue painting.This episode was like Scottie Pippen coming to you in tears: " My grandma told me I will never be as good as Michael Jordan. Fuck basket-ball. I quit. CAN YOU FEEL MY PAIN?" But I am sure Rita's grandfather is not Rita's main reason to quit painting, or maybe its not her reason at all. I think she is just bragging it along as trivial matter that encourage her to quit painting. Even when she decide to paint again, she didnt look give a single fvck about the grandfather. You are not supposed to feel sorry for Rita, she was being whiny and she did accept it herself and apologized in the end. You just supposed to feel sorry for her circumtances, not her action (quit painting and blame Mashiro), well, at least that's I feel. ==== well for Shiina, I dont think it's her fault to not realize other's feeling. You can say everyone is balanced. Maybe you know that most of blind people's hearing is better than normal people. So that's is. |

| This episode was incredible! Best drama I've experienced from an anime this season. It hit me pretty deep. ;_; |
| Just grateful that this series is 24 episodes long and not 12! |
| I really liked this episode even if it was really quick-paced. I am so glad this series is a longer 24 episodes than 12 or 13. Probably the most important single reason I love this series is the characters, I like all of them and they make a great group with a variety of characteristics and personality traits. I'd have to say, though, I respect Ryuunosuke the most- I think he is the coolest one of them. It's just strange that he has more screenplay all of a sudden. Every episode is great (and funny). Looking forward to the next. 5/5. |
 |
| Ryuunosuke is magic in this episode. it would be nice to develop the relationship between him and rita ^ ^ |

| Akasaka Ryonosuke is so cool |
| worst drama ever, that rita character is so annoying and stupid. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Rita is such a boring cliché character I wish she wasn't part of this show :/ |
 |
| Too much crying. |
| Akasaka gets straight to the point, love this guy- hideyoshi. |
 |
| Lol, looks like the unmovable Ryuunosuke finally found his match in Rita. And she in him. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like she'll be staying for long, probably leaving after this arc is over. It doesn't make sense for her to stay in Sakurasou for long. Well, at least the animosity felt by Rita against Mashiro has already been dealt with. It was amusing to see Nanami cry at their resolution as friends. Next, the Cultural Festival. |
| A whirlwind of an episode, Ryuunosuke fainting at the table was too funny. I'm liking Rita more after hearing her story. |
| Ryuunosuke telling it like it is. What a boss. If all else fails in this anime, I will continue to watch it for him. |

| This was a decidedly mediocre episode, as the latter half was unnecessarily dramatic, while noticeably lacking the compelling developments that would allow such a tonal dissonance to be welcome, or, at the very least, understandable. As such, this was likely the worst episode since Aoyama’s mini-arc, as it didn’t particularly develop any of the characters; nor did it provide any essential and meaningful insight into the characterization within the majority of the characters, aside from Rita and, to an extent, Ryuunosuke. Rita’s portrayal was a highly unsympathetic one throughout this episode, particularly when she cruelly and ludicrously placed all the blame for her own insecurities and weaknesses on Mashiro and the immense talent she possesses. Though the self-involved emotions were understandable and quite realistic, she really doesn’t have anyone to criticize but herself and the lack of strength she previously displayed. This ultimately, once again, depicted a callous disregard for Mashiro’s feelings, since it infuses a significant guilt into the thoughts of a character that isn’t responsible for other’s petty and weak-willed actions. Essentially, Mashiro shouldn’t be emotionally manipulated into unconsciously lowering the quality of her work, solely so that the other painters could artificially be satisfied with their own. As such, though Rita’s outburst was suffused with a plethora of painful emotions, that particular sequence wasn’t nearly as convincing or poignant as it should have been, as, instead, it illustrated a disappointing and surprisingly trite tedium that I hope doesn’t persist throughout future episodes, as it isn’t really indicative of the dramatic subtleties that were woven into earlier episodes. However, Ryuunosuke’s harsh, but appropriate, criticism of Rita’s deeply flawed perception of reality was thoroughly satisfying. Of course, Sorata and Aoyama simply had to then proceed to chase after Rita and lash out at Ryuunosuke, which was entirely unjustified and quite perplexing, since he was simply stating the truth and defending Mashiro; an action that they were too fearful and naïve to attempt themselves, for whatever reason. At least Rita realized that Ryuunosuke’s words were the most honest and helpful. Mashiro was highly sympathetic throughout this episode, since Rita and Sorata’s interests were far too unintentionally selfish, as it was clear that their feigned selflessness was only a manufactured mirage, having never allotted the time and opportunity to properly assess and subsequently consider Mashiro’s own desires for her future. As such, these tendencies illustrated a distinct absence of respect for Mashiro’s ability to decide these momentous matters on her own. Aoyama was, for the first time, bearable in her brief appearance, since, unlike her typically irritating personality, her portrayal was, ever so slightly, more subdued. Of course, she reverted back to her usual tendencies in the latter half of the episode, so this relative decency was very short-lived, unfortunately. The touches of romance between Rita and Ryuunosuke provided what were easily the best moments within this episode, and I’m really hoping they continue. This arc of sorts has felt quite contrived and needlessly dramatic, noticeably lacking a compelling balance between a plethora of disparate elements, as the narrative execution throughout this episode and the last, though effectively establishing a necessary initiation towards a climactic conclusion, was thoroughly mediocre and disappointingly chaotic, as it rarely focused on an essential emotion in an appropriately significant fashion, thus faltering in it’s ability to consistently resonate. The Nyaboron anime is easily the most compelling element within the current narrative, aside, of course, from the two primary relationships, which haven’t exactly been insightfully focused on throughout the last two episodes. |

| And then suddenly Ryuunosuke become my favorite character in this show. LOL at the trap next episode. |
 |
| HOLD UP! Ryuunosuke is a guy? |
HoneyHomie said: HOLD UP! Ryuunosuke is a guy? For some reason I thought he was a she too XD I must not have been paying attention. Meh...at least the drama ended fairly quickly. This anime is definitely worth watching but sometimes it's a little stupid. I get the whole thing about Rita realizing that she could never be as good but why quit. That's just stupid, and the mc is always down because he's "normal" so what most people are. Don't be stupid and feel like crap and have everyone feel bad for you. That's what the weak do. Besides the whole stupid thing about talent I really like this anime, it just seems a little unrealistic. 4/5 hopefully not too much drama in the next few episodes. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Ryunosuke is basically my favorite person ever. |
 |
| And Sorata saves the day. Again. *sigh* |
 |
| Forced drama is forced. |
rupok93 said: more stupid drama nobody cares about True. nantuko said: "oh no, there's someone better at something than me, so I gonna stop doing it because with that I am bad at it" That's the way you go, girl. So forced.. That was even worse than I expected. True. nantuko said: Akasaka was saying what I was thinking, ha. Plus point for him. lindsayzzz said: I swear Ryuunosuke is the best character in Sakurasou. BigDB64 said: i think Ryuunosuke is VERY quickly becoming my favorite character. I know right! Still troubling over who will be my favourite, Misaki or Ryuunosuke, can never have enough of Misaki's craziness XD Edit : Now that I think about it, the ED is pretty good :D |

| Ryuunosuke is epic, that guy just kicks ass. He will probable be my favorite character if stuff keeps going like this. I changed my opinion about Rita, but I still don't like her. The drama felt forced just before Aoyama started crying. If it had been shortened it would've been much better. I'm really starting to like this so far, this is actually really good for something by J.C. Staff. I can only wonder how it would be if some other studio animated it. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
