| Season 3 started with how I wanted season 2 to finish lol I had to wait a few extra months but I finally got to see the Azuki & Mashiro hand holding moment. dont think they'll finish the manga in the 25 eps though which makes me wonder what part they'll end season 3 at and if we'll get season 4 to finish it. |
| my people who read the manga cause I havent...is this season slow paced or fast ;( |

| Good episode, even though the animation was kind of weird at times. The romance is definitely the weakest part of this series, but fortunately it doesn't seem like Mashiro and Miho will meet up again any time soon. yhunata said: CEMPUNK said: my people who read the manga cause I havent...is this season slow paced or fast ;( It's fast. Always have been. Well, the manga has some dragged out side arcs, but I agree that it's generally fast paced. But the anime adaption hasn't always been fast paced, as the first season only covered about 33 chapters in 25 episodes. This episode covered chapter 92 and half of chapter 93, but maybe they just slowed things down for the first episode. Let's hope the third season overall is more like the second. |
| Great first episode. Can't wait to see more. I hope Mashiro and Azuki finally hit it off XD. |
| I have not finished the manga so anyone can tell me if this will be the last season or it will need another one? |
 |
| it will most likely need another season to finish |

 Lelouch FTW |
| i'm so stoked omg. i sure hope that there will be a 4th season~ a movie would be cool too. but i don't know if that's pushing it. |
   |
| ask two people who are stubborn, are they stubborn?, and lets see where that goes. besides Akito's girl getting on my nerves every once and a while, it was a great first episode. damn Iwase is cut throatish and want to crush everyone dreams XD i feel hella bad for Miura, having to put up with someone who seems she PMS all that time XD. Nizuma is still bosslike he'll never gets old. |
Just look at this hand! |

I thought it had. Well, I also think this season will be generally fast paced, leading to a season 4 finale, perhaps? Sunduck said: Just look at this hand! I agree. They really detailed the hand and look at the bump on his middle finger. Makes me wince just seeing it since I also wanna be a mangaka. |
|
| Yess it's here and I already love it ! |
 |
| I love Eiji forever. And I just love how detailed Mashiro's hand is. |
| [insert awesome signature here] |
| I want more Kaya, forget the stunted couple. |
| Alright episode, but I really thought the whole audition situation was really lame.... I mean really really really lame... Anyway I'm happy the shows back. |
 |
| This episode made me realize why I never gave the first 2 seasons a 10,lol |
 |
| You've got to love Niizuma in this episode :P |
 |
| Amazing first episode, Niizuma is so boss. That OP... can't unhear Sankarea childhood friend girl. That is such a distinct voice. I preferred the music from the previous 2 seasons instead of this stuff. The ED is fine though. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Oh the audition ep.... I'm glad it ended only in this ep. Animation look better in this season. OP & ED kind of fine. Niizuma is the best. LOL at the love thing, this make me wanted to see the love fest arc animated. XD |
 |
Lol, Eiji is such a boss in this episode. Love, love! Nice to see Miho and Mahiro of course: |
 |
| Man Azuki and Mashiro are so cute together. Holding hands and getting so embarrassed and happy, such a pure and innocent couple. :D Eiji is awesome as always! The way he said 'Ai, Ai!' LOL FTW! Looks like Iwase is quite antagonistic. |
 |
| 3/5 They could have put a little summary just to make it clear to those who have been quite a few back with the third season, but they did not then lowered the mass media that is not high because of the plot still not compelling, too little was seen. I'm sick of hearing nano.RIPE in all the identifiers of the anime series products recently! They are beautiful, but I like change! Eiji win!! |
 |
| love this series.... OP and ED.... not so much good night sweet next 8 hours of my life... |
 |
| Man, animation dropped alot. Art is also worse than season 2. And even the ending had better animation than the opening. I fear for what the remainder of this season. |
| Mashiro: I won't wash my hand this month... |
| yay another season. And romantic progress. |
 |
| Trust Mashiro to get happy after holding hands with Miho >_< Nice, but kinda slow start XD |
| A great start for the 3rd season. :) A nice change of pace with so much Azuki x Mashiro.. they are just so cute together! :D Hattori is a really great editor and the most suited one for Ashirogi-sensei. :P |
| Miho sure was awesome this episode and Niizuma was epic as well! A really nice continue from the last season so let's see what this season's story has to offer! Lol at this overjoyful face! |
 |
| Ugh why did the first episode of the season have to focus on something boring >,> Glad the whole audition thing only lasted this episode. |
 |
| Wah, Iwasa have rised to an 8 in the madness factor xD That encounter between Mashiro and Miho was cute :3 Nizuma is awesome as always :P It's kinda bad that they have fallen below +Natural, if they can't keep up the beat... |

| I like the new ending, but I don't like that nano.ripe is singing the new opening. I don't like their songs. |
| They should Pair up Iwase with someone, like really, she's great , smart and beautiful... preferably Iwase x Fukuda |
 |
| It was a good start from the previous season. Women are scary indeed, that moment between them was cute. |
| if even it is a bit hard to watch, the romance is building beautifully. and as always, great op and ed! |
 |
| Season 3 just started and Azuki is already being a pain in the ass... Begging for attention, spoiled brat. Though Mashiro ain't better i guess, being the lap-dog he is. No surprise for Iwase either, eternal b*tch this one... I get the feeling there'll be way too much drama this season *sigh* |

| It's hard to compare Nizuma's dignity and kind-heartedness to any other anime character... |
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know... |
| Omg that smugggg face. They were so cute together. =) |
| Of to a good start Cute episode with cutest couple Miho x Mashiro are Saikou!! xD Someone is really jealous though 2cute4me xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Season 3 , Looks like , made it even more AMAZING ~ <3 . OP AND ED TOO . Holding hands .. but it's not the first time . |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Urghhh nano.RIPE why why why |
| Love will wiener lol. |
| I can't wait to see if Nizuma held Akina's hand because of feelings or something like that. |
| Iwase, Aoki and Niizuma are the best. Hattori is good too. I want Iwase x Hattori and Aoki x Fukuda. Niizuma, who the heck would pair up with him though. ToshiroChan said: They should Pair up Iwase with someone, like really, she's great , smart and beautiful... preferably Iwase x Fukuda Yeah I think Hattori as he was reading up on romance books for her in season 2 I thought? Iwase is awesome. |

| Okay. This episode irks me in a wrong way and has been since season 2. Zero to non character progression since season 1. Mashiro is the same selfish person who acts like he cares about others but deep inside he thinks otherwise and always contradicts himself. Takagi is the same person who cares too much to the point that he needs to act upon himself to guilt trip/pressure others. Miyoshi is the same airhead with one dimensional emotion and never thinks about others' feeling/action. Azuki is the same person who never truly care for herself and let others determine her own self-worth. Same ol' plot device. Rivals, flashbacks, rankings, waiting for editor's phone call, yearly event, rinse and repeat. Same settings. Mashiro's bedroom, Azuki's house, studio, manga HQ, family res. Maybe it will get better by the end of season but I doubt it will. Also, I hate the fact that they treat episode 1 like any other episode. I would describe this anime as being "too optimistic". |

| Great episode, getting right back into things! |
