This should be called "My childhood friend can't be this perfect"

Totally agreed. Manami is so cute. I would love to have her as my wifu any day. <3
Wasabi said:
An episode not focusing on the ungrateful tsundere brat!? How shocking yet refreshing. Kyousuke definitely deserved some time off from having constantly put up with Kirino's shit and this episode gave it to him.

Totally agree too. I felt sorry for him when he shivered just thinking about kirino. :'(

They really didn't need to keep going back to show how jealous she was getting after him being away for a day.

As much as she shows her detest for Kyousuke, at the end of the day, he is the only one with whom she can share all of her interest/problems. what might apparently show kirino being jealous, actually well shows how much she has been depending on her brother lately. nothing more. this happens with siblings often. i remember my younger brother (the youngest of us four siblings) started showing a carefree attitude towards me whenever I used to hang around with my friends, particularly because he was always the closest to me in our family (me being the second youngest) and i was the only one who could have a talk with him. well things have changed when he started making his own friends as he grew up. when was it, he was like 11 and i was 13 back then. yeah, he took that long to make friends in school. he has grown up to be such a fine man, and has a girlfriend too, i know he cares about her more than me now :P. but i have had similar experience with my younger brother in the past so i can much relate to her situation.

anyways, a great episode overall. while many of you enjoyed the kirino fan services, nothing come even close to the ojii-san acrobatics. that made the entire episode a WIN!
I will be rooting for this guy in Ojii-san Olympics. :D. Nice improvisation of possible cardiac arrest.

Good episode but I really wonder what Kyosuke really thinks of her. Is she just a childhood friend to him? But he did say that he won't allow other guys to go out with her. That confuses me a little. I wonder if he harbors any feelings for her too.
From Manami's point of view, well, it's so obvious that she likes him.

this is my favorite episode so far. i was laughing so much while watching. i've always liked manami so a whole episode dedicated to her was nice. i love her family and wish mine was like that.

and i don't agree with the comment about her having an obnoxious voice. i think it fits her character. there are other anime characters out there that have an extremely annoying voice, but manami isn't one of them.

i'm hoping for kyousuke x manami since they're both my favorites. a lot can still happen, but this pairing is the most likely at this point so far.

I think it's pretty obvious that he does. But then, they might break the childhood friend lovers cliche

For such a plain Jane, Manami is ridiculously cute. So are most of the girls in this show to be honest. I'm with the grandparents on this one though. Kyousuke needs to go ahead and impregnate her. Or at least spoon damn it!

kinda boring. manami is ok but sad he wouldn't be interested at all with the situation. I don't like seeing Kirino mad that much. I think they are pushing the wincest notion a little too much when it just isn't really there yet.

Nice to finally see a episode that doesn't have Kirino in it that much(although I did like the body pillow part). Not only that, it introduced a couple new characters too. Hopefully they develop more of a relationship between Kyousuke and Manami before the series finishes.

I loathed this episode. What was the point of it? There was no real change from where it began to where it ended. I would have much rather had episode 5 retreading of episode 3 over having nothing.

So instead of developing characters we get to watch characters we don't care about who amount to being giant walking gags on a stick push the plot into multiple quirk situations which end up amounting to nothing. The only character who has been developed and grown meanwhile is sidelined for these quirks.

I love side character getting some attention. A powerful cast is one of the strongest assets a series can have. Sadly, they just don't do anything Manami. We learn almost nothing about her that we couldn't already infer about her. Which is sad because there was very little to her character in the first place.

I do understand that a certain amount of this episode comes down to taste, and I hate comedy with an absolute passion that could eclipse the sun, but I just didn't see anything interesting in this episode. So much of the screen time is focused on gags.

I am just glad that this will likely be the only time we see these gag characters. Enough with the fillers, let us find the plot already!

I never understood the point of a blind man watching a sunset. If a story focuses on character development, and you're not a character development type of audience, or you're not good with people in general... just move on...

If a show isnt good, noone is going to watch it, but if a show caters to a certain audience, and you're not that audience...who fault is it? There is no such thing as a buffet when it comes to stories, there will always be that one person, who likes black licorice anchovie pizza, and you're just not going to please that person.

Yeah...the only word I could get after seeing this episode.
I will be frank and say I don't like the Kyousuke X Manami pair.Why? Not a real reason, but I just don't like Manami...feels like something is off about her. I wouldn't be for the incest as well, but meh, I like Kyousuke x Kirino more XD
[/pair rant]
Anyway, quite a boring episode. The character which got a first thought is ojii-chan XD Quite a funny guy, quite stereotypical, but quite funny. Just a classic... "You two should just hurry up and marry" *lol* Besides that, past memories, an annoyed little sister and an elusive grandma?
The next episode seems intriguing, can't wait for it :D

You can't tell if a triangle is a triangle, until you see all three sides. Right now, it just looks like someone drew two lines. Lines are indeed pretty boring but once they connect, watch out for that triangle. Oh, and in reality, it going to be a square/pyramid, so you brain might just blow up.

Didn't really enjoy the episode, but I'm pretty sure that is because I don't like Manami. Still, Kirino kicking her brother's seat and door cracked me up. I feel bad for Kyousuke, he might have relaxed for a day, but I'm sure when he gets home Kirino will make him pay :D

that is true, but there has been good stuff in the series before hand without the comedy.

Kirino and Kyousuke's relationship has been developing as the series goes on. The previous episodes evolved their dynamic each time.

But more than that, Kirino is an interesting character. She is given conflicts which she is forced to overcome. Whether it is trying to create new bonds, or gathering the courage to defend what she loves, Kirino is a character who has changed as the series goes on.

This most recent episode had none of that. I challenge someone to tell me what we learn about Manami or Kyousuke in this episode that we didn't already know.

This is exactly what I thought, too. This is amplified by my love for innocent & shy girls, as well as the fact that my fav Idol is an innocent & shy girl by the name of Manami herself XD

Also, that grampa is epic win. I'd marry manami just to get into his family *lol*

And that bathing-proposal scene was pretty win itself, I nearly shat myself XD

EDIT:
Oh, and Kirino attacking her dakimakura like that was epic, too. Makes me want to get one, too XD

I would like to point out the Op changes once again.


Kuro4735 said:
I actually noticed most of those changes you mentioned. The only one that I didn't catch was the changed Meruru picture. I think the changing OP theme animation is a nice addition to this anime, and the production quality of this anime has been pretty consistent so far. The changing ED theme is great too; really makes this show feel more dynamic at times.

Well the point was more of what people might have missed and even you missed one element so I am glad it made you noticed that missing element. Yes the computer pic seems to be a normal change in each OP almost that I noticed.
Yumekichi11 said:
I found it baffling but it proves she got closer to him in the end. She would not react like that if it was not so.

Kuro4735 said:
I was kind of surprised as well, but I just figured it's proof of her showing some appreciation to her brother, although she is very very indirect about it. She obviously cares enough to be annoyed/angry when he's not home, which means he has to be at least somewhat important to her.

Yes, of course she is being indirect and that's why she calls him baka instead of my dear brother or something like that. Guess it goes back to her being a little spoiled bitchy character type.
Iisan-kun said:
That was one of my favourite episodes even if it had little Kirino in it. ...words can't describe my love for this series thus far, and if continues at this quality for the next 6 episodes I'm definitely going to give it a 10.
Don't forget to watch it in BD. It will be worth your time since you have such a outlook on it. Personal experience to you.
Chucky said:
I feel kind of sad for Manami. She's sooooo freaking cute and nice but the way Kyousuke treats her can be a bit jerk-ish sometimes.
Really? I felt more the frustration towards Kyousuke for he should be accepting the love of Manami more and he should have gotten more than enough hints on that one in this episode.

I am sure there will be one of Kirino out so get it. It might be in the range of 100$ + shipping. I got some and it was like that +pillow itself which was about 50$ but it's priceless to abuse and hug a life size version of Kirino herself! :D
LightningRamiel said:
Still, while I often wanted to punch Kyousuke for not realizing Manami's feelings, I can sympathize with his wish for simplicity and stability. Then again, he's still pretty dense for not getting it when Akagi called him out on his relationship with her. Friggin' tsundere.
Akagi was a pretty cool dude to be introduced as another guy friend of Kyousuke that much I will say. I am on about the same wavelength as you about Kyousuke I will say. He is dense and his lame excuse is plain simply lame for one.

Epic move right here. He should have a show of his own. "Manami's grandfather can't be this athletic" xD

This episode is pure win for me. Manami is just adorable in any angle. Kudos to Satou Satomi with her voicing here. And less Kirino made this even better, I'm kinda getting tired of her tsun tsun attitude, even though I generally like tsunderes. She's just on a different level that it borders on annoying. Manami may be plain but she's very likeable. Too bad Kyousuke doesn't see her more than just a childhood friend. I hope it develops. But I guess it's not next episode since we'll return to Kirino. Let's see this novel though.

Iwao calling Kyousuke An-chan reminds me of Mario from Rainbow xD

Yay, an episode all about Manami and her family!

"Rock" the "skinhead" with his buzzcut and "guitar". Her grandparents are awesome for teasing them like that. xD

"Just get married already" >.<
"You SO want to take a bath together" ^w^
"There's something with my heart" *push* "go sleep together! :3

Also, Kirino with her hugging-pillow. Keeps kicking his door and chair. Always acting cold towards him even though she's SO jealous! =P

I just love Manami's family!! They seem to be a lot of fun. Especially gramps!!
Manami is quite the adorable one!!
I hated Kirino even more in this ep than I normally do. For 5 eps, she treats Kyousuke like crap, and the minute he's away from her she's angry and jealous. What, the boy's not allowed to have his own life? Kirino has her own life. She makes me sick!!
God forbid if Manami and Kirino are ever under the same roof. Kirino would probably be trying to start a fight.

I just don't find Kirino's tsundere nature as entertaining as others. It's like she's overboard with it...or something. *shrugs*
