THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The episode was really good in terms of explaining multiple theories about will power through Aoki and as well as the Inaba segment that follows. The Iori x Taichi despite being short resolved rather nicely too. Here are my thoughts,

About Iori x Taichi resolve and segment, I found a little too hyper Iori in the spoiler
but knowing her excitement of Taichi suddenly wanting to tell, it was expected of her hyperisme. However it quickly became quite the emotional emitting from Iori in the spoiler
with not only tears as a element but MOE with her blushes. The resolve going smoothly and nicely I cannot stress out how much of a appeal Iori was in the spoiler
in different senses while being also MOE and BRO-FIST cool with Taichi. That was one cool BRO-FIST TBH.

About Taichi/Aoki resolve, liked it a lot in 2 parts. First one in the spoiler
nicely showed at the resolved itself and Aoki got me a little nervous as to why WTF would he get so serious in expression till he lead in as to why. Iori being there was good too.

The second part was the youth talk and I certainly like the sound of the expression itself being at my age. The nice thing over the segment is the marvel of scenery in the spoiler
such as the effect it made itself on the youth talks and how it reflected its feel as 2 teenage boys talked about it. Quite a scenery melding into the conversation of the boys.

About Yui and Aoki/Taichi resolve segment, BEST FOR ME! I love DFC and therefore I love Yui not to mention her MOE in the following,

CANNOT BE BEATEN! Why? Pouting + blushing + MOE = deadly combo and the MOE/blushing effect IMO is balanced out expression wise. Truly I cannot see how much amazing it was if already the nice imagination of Aoki in the spoiler
nicely stitched shows of Yui and her sexy outlook in lingerie among the other depictions there.
Then comes my 3 points as to why I loved the conversation and rich expressions of Yui in the list
  • The first part in the spoiler
    was nice due to Aoki offering the love hotel deal. Now it sounds all too good but if he should succeed, it would prove he does not want Yui for sex at all! Does not want to love her for it. It would be Ultimate Proof of love. IMO he can do it and I hoped Yui would have said yes to it but alas no way. The pillow and plushy throws were a nice comedic part.

  • The second part is the most vital and emotional for me in the spoiler
    for it proves that Taichi himself would not hurt Yui and that his reason is his love for her. Rather deep IRL feelings conveyed there. Loads of males use that line a lot and it’s a deep charmer TBH. So I really liked the emotional flow there of Aoki and Yui.

  • The last was nice outburst of the love hotel deal being brought back in the spoiler
    but it’s what came after of the whole “Knight Kneeling” or the “Gentleman Stance #X” among the variation and huge choice of them. Aoki really impressed me with his ways there towards Yui.
Those 3 points being said, I think I said quite enough TBH in proving outright of how amazing the chemistry was of the love between Yui/Aoki.

Other than that I liked Aoki’s theory of Will power overwriting emotional response being 10 folded in power. That was rather interesting of Aoki and will power notion itself. It’s quite possible as he mentions. Depends on your will in thee end.

About Inaba segment, oh the terrible shit I wish to do with Heartseed by seeing his COCK UGLY FUNGUS POSSESSING SPIRITUAL SHIT FACE in the following,

Particularly when he made Inaba feel like he did in the spoiler
that was really not cool. I can so much as to understand perhaps Inaba restraining herself from her urges to masturbate with this whole Heartseed shit going on or from the fact she feels disgusted that she whored herself out to Taichi but that Heartseed resurfaces that problem that Inaba is trying so much to fight is UNFORGIVABLE! Perhaps Heartseed might be helping Inaba with her inner but he should remember he still a SOB that enforces shit upon those young people.

That being said got to thank for seeing Inaba’s mother in the spoiler
it was to see a glimpse of her. I also notice that Inaba’s brother in the spoiler
from the looks of his fashion might be a PLAYER to goes out with girls and has fun with them leading eventually to sex maybe? Well that type of Gino person.

BTW Image Stitches and Pic Dump in the BLOG:
http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/09/image-stitches-and-pic-dump-of-kokoro.html
Whom has nice Yui ones.

While speaking of fan service the new poster of this month in the spoiler
size reduced.

Shows the girls rather nicely in swimsuits, which reminds me that there most likely shall not be a beach episode from the looks of this series which makes it very nice to have such a poster.

Looks great as always. Obviously they got everyone but Inaban back together and fine. I guess now the focus is on her and the new twist after fully realizing her feelings. Looking forward to what's next, especially since it's their first time outside of school (and other usual settings). 5/5

Dude, the novels. Read the novels. Volume one is 95 % almost finish and the second VL is getting a move on, but oh my god, don't worry. Inaba will remain fit (: Also, the light novels are better because you'll get a epilogue with her inner thoughts that may not be mention in the anime ._.

Another wonderful episode.

I especially liked the fact that at this episode we learn that their most trivial of desires can also be unleashed. This had some nice comedic effect when the three of them were presented with the pile of food.

Oh fuck looks like Inaba is gunna end up revealing it to Iori next episode, time for some epic love drama. Ughh I am hoping that this will all end with Iori and Taichi still together since I ain't a Inaba fan. Doesn't look good tho.

Great to see Yui back to her cheerful self again.

Really great episode. Good to see Yui back to herself again. About time.

Oh, Heartseed, what are you up to now? I wonder what he's got planned for Inaba.

Next episode should be interesting. Things always have a tendency of happening on field trips.

And the food part was hilarious. Didn't think desires for food would come out so easily.

Ah, so everyone makes up ... it's nice to see more of Aoki :3 I actually thought Yui said yes to the love hotel idea LOL XD Well in any case it's good that they've made up ... the scene with Aoki and Yui was ADORABLE! Same with Taichi and Iori's scene ... now all that's left is Inaba! :O
So Heartseed was talking to Inaba not Goto ... no clue how I mixed them up lol o_O So basically he just wants Inaba to stop "hiding"? That's an interesting way of doing it ... I wonder what he means when he said Goto wouldn't mind gaps in his memory? No idea if that's going to be important or not though ...
School trip next episode! I wonder how this will turn out ... looks like someone discovers Inaba's "secret feelings" about someone ... I wonder if those are her feelings for Taichi? Or maybe someone else? :O

Aoki telling Yui how much he loved her and all his thoughts was really sweet. I actually think Heartseed's visit to Inaba will change things a lot. She's finally admitted to herself her feelings for Taichi (I assume that's what it is) so it's bound to get very interesting.

This episode was really awesome. I feel I can give this anime a 10/10 now. It just has amazing amount of drama.

I loved the part when Aoki asks Yui to go to a love hotel, Just an epic win win and when Yui said "I will go", simply awesome.

Aw! Taichi had an epiphany! Good for him, too. He always tries so hard ;-; "His head is usually in the right place, even if his methods aren't the best."

Omg Aoki: "Let's enjoy our youth!"
"I'm confident that my desire not to hurt you will always be stronger."
Too much cuteness >w<

Glad the band's getting back together, and now Inaba's up for her "trial". Next episode should really get the ball rolling for the rest of the show. Also, at first I'd wondered if Inaba had feelings for Iori, then I was certain it was Taichi... after all the suspicious images the OP/ED gave us /subliminal messaging. But it would be cool if they went all left field and made her crush Iori or something. We'll see. Loving the development of all the characters so far and am waiting for romance to bloom >o<

Woah, another white knight is born! Or at least, maybe a squire..? Well, now gentlesir, let's go save some m'lady, amirite? *tips fedora*

Okay, in all seriousness, it look like it will finally advance, I was getting a bit annoyed of that lethargy I must admit. It felt a bit unnatural.

Now Heartseed have confronted Inaba and made sure that she stop being dishonest with herself....

dis gon b gud :3

From the preview, Iori will learn about it and confront her. I'm pretty sure that she was already aware, but I guess that Inaba will say something wrong and it will escalate.

Finally Aoki gets to be epic! That's right, Taichi, watch and observe how things are really done!

The comedic elements are a welcome change of pace before the grand conclusion.

Honestly, Taichi doesn't deserve Iori. Iori is better alone than getting stuck with a Shiro wannabe. Tiachi and Inaba deserve to suffer in each other's company for all eternity.

Episode 09 - I Can't Stop, I Can't Stop, I Can't Stop:

"I realized that i'd rather be with you and hurt you rather than stay apart and not hurt you. So if you don't mind, Can I stay by your side Nagase?" (Taichi) You got it right Taichi!

"That's how it works, but that's not how it works!" (Aoki) Sometimes is like that, right..?

Aoki your speesh was flawless, but then you say to her that she should wear something erotic. "Score!" (Aoki) That mind of him, anyway Yui was very cute and the things that Aoki and Taichi say to her make some sense.

"Please, protect me?"(Yui) "With my life" (Aoki) they sure do a great couple.

"Eat!" (Inner Taichi) what a simple impulse, he then can get it all the food.

"I just came here to shake things up" (Ballon Vine) much like him, he wants controll over them. And he also can read minds and mental states.

"There aren't many people around who wouldn't mind a gap on their memory" (Ballon Vine) so his power havesome limitations and why is that Gotou sensei don't mind have an intruder in his memory, he must have some intern problems himself.

nope he wanted to slap truth at her face to make her spill the beans even if its just the way she acts & so other will realize truth from her actions & sometimes slapping truth at some1 face just does that makes u act differently & so ur small change of char will expose u, ofc depends on a person if she he is almost emotionless or not so easy to shake

LoL, would you let a suspicious person, in the middle of the night, calling himself a teacher and wanting to talk to your daughter alone inside her bedroom with the lights turned off? LoL

Well, also, I confess that things are getting boring because it's been the same pattern over and over.

They have a fight -> melodrama -> apologize -> fight -> melodrama -> apologize and so on

well anime's almost always defy logic & reality :D

it could be that heartseed has some power over ppl a bit, or maybe in JAP teachers are that trusted lol
