Hilarious, but I like the last episode better. <.<

I loved the part where Kitamura was naked, talk about random much. I mean, why would he come out naked? Lololol

I hope for the next episode.

Attention a little trick to understand better This worked for me. During the scene with Kushieda and Ryuuji on the balcony. Replace all terms of ghosts/horror/supernatural stuff with the word love. I understood way more than the confusing way they were explaining.


hmm? didn't everybody get that they were talking about love and just putting it in supernatural talk? i got it in the first time...

Yeah but just a trick I used with the subs to make me understand better. Kind hard to grasp all when you start in anime.

I think the funniest bit about the towel scene was the fact that Minorin was acting so devious throughout it, which is a little out of character for her so you can only assume that she was putting on the act herself for everyone else lol.

I liked the ghosts are like love analogy :) It clearly illustrates everyone's position in the anime, especially Taiga's and Takasu's. There is love there between them but they just can't see it yet.

Another highlight was the dog dream lol. It added a nice little twist to the fetish that Rie Kugimiya voiced characters have with putting down the lead male lead character with said insults.

This series is amazing. Top ten romance comedies of all time would not be an overstatement.

lol also the start makes more sense now! From episode one, with the ghost analogy from this episode.

"In this world, everyone has something they haven't seen before. That's very kind, very sweet. If it could be seen, everyone would probably want it too. That's why the world hid that. Not to let people get hold of it so easily. However, someone will find it one day. There will be one person, to find that. That's what the thing is."

The end I assume was a plan by the other 2 to get Taiga and Ryuuji together? Nice plot development in this ep, one of the better episodes of this anime I think

Well, the strange hate for the supernatural, added to the fact she was the first to start hiding the love talk with the supernatural talk leads me to think her scars are love-related. Psychological or Physical abuse maybe? It would explain the quirky and always positive facade.

Interesting, I wonder if they are going to reveal Kushieda's past at one point in the series cause I want to know this part of her past.

Hmm. Interesting idea. It's quite possible, as this is slated to be 25 episodes long.

kuroshiroi said:
Ryuuji and Ami are my favorite characters though, mostly because they seem closer to normal people than anime characters and they have some major psychological issues. Ryuuji is a cleaning freak, even going so far as to clean the house by himself while all the others were at the beach. There are some other issues but they kind of pale in comparison to Ami's. As a result, they feel much more real.


And THIS!

Plus Minorin relating the ghost with love and Taiga in the back massage with feet xD

All this chapter was so funny and pure win. All girls approaching more and more to Ryuuji. I like that =)

Yes, there's plenty of time to develop everyone. Minorin is on the top on my list for that, since everything about her screams of something bad hidden. Taiga's been getting the most attention so far, and her interactions with Ryuuji have given us insights into Ryuuji's way of thinking. Sometimes developing a character isn't always expositing about the details of their past. It's also seeing their way of thinking and how they react to their enviroment. If anything, the character that's been actually ignored is Kitamura, so they better give him something to raise him from his "supporting character" status.
Gargron said:

Huh? Well, if you find Kitamura sexy maybe. xD Actually, now that I think about it, they've been focusing a lot on making Kitamura look like a hunk (how can a "bookworm" kind of guy like him get such a hulking body anyway?).

Well, she seemed to get the idea, though she is a rather unpredictable character.

About the above, is it not a message that most likely means although you may be a nerd in real life, you can still get girls cause Kitamura is like that in a anime yet he can?

If you have forgotten, Kitamura is the captain of the baseball team. He might look like a "nerd", but unless you are somewhat of a "hunk", I doubt you could become the captain of the baseball team.

Physically fit, yes. But believe me here, my brother played baseball a lot and he wasn't exactly the most muscular person around. As a matter of fact, there's plenty of regular-looking baseball players, especially in high school. There's also plenty of fatties but let's not get into that. I guess I can buy that, but it's a very loosely implied idea.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!! Seems like Kushieda just doesn't want a boyfriend. Maybe the events at the end were caused by the other people living in the house; maybe this was all one big ploy to get Taiga and Ryuuji together, eh eh eh?? MAYBE!

So here's what I think.
Ryuuji likes Minori
Taiga likes Kitamura
Kitamura likes Minori because he already understands that it wont work with Taiga unless they get to know each other better (which isn't happening) and get to the point where her and Ryuuji are at right now.
Minori likes Ryuuji but is in the same boat with Kitamura as Ryuuji is with Taiga. So I suspect she will end up having feelings for Kitamura sometime down the road.
Ami likes Ryuuji because he ignores her and treats her like a normal person. It looks like she already knows who likes who already by her facial expressions.

:( I hope you recover as one who took a look at medical books I heard if you watch stuff like ToraDora and you are happy and laughing out! Then it should heal more cause your Anti-bodies are getting sort of emotional boost but it's harder to explain. Keep on watching shows like that cause diseases sucks!

Response to slayer545:

1. Who found it strange that Ami did not get affected by the whole towel off of Kitamura? Could it be that Ami already did it or saw many guys naked?
-LOL, the only person actually affected was Taiga... well, Minori did too, but that was when his towel flew up.

2. Those pills Kitamura gave to Aisaka....was it headache pills or tranquilizers?
-Tranquilizers? I think that's a little over the top.

3. What do people think that Minori will do with the pics taken of Kitamura?
-LOL who knows what Minorin will do?

4. When Ami mentioned going to the beach with Ryuuji before they got interrupted was she thinking nude dip?
-Hmm, hard to tell. Probably not, in my opinion. Ami isn't a slut. She's just conceited.

5. Was it shyness of Aisaka (cause she blushed) of not going with Kitamura on the motorcycle or Taiga does not like motorcycles?
-Definitely because of Kitamura. I don't think she would blush if she didn't lke bikes.

6. Doe Ryuuji's dream suggest something with the way his mother was portrayed?
-I don't really remember his dream, so I don't know.

This episode, and series, is one of the best EVER. I can't wait until this comes out on DVD (which would probably be a long time D:)
