| It was rather obvious she liked him. I like the Inaba pairing more though so good for her. Still to sum this up .... YELLING! OVERREACTIONS! CRYING! MORE YELLING! |
 |
| INABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN |
| Dat knife, that looked really scary. Inaba had her emotional breakdown and confessed to him! I wonder what'll happen next time. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Well that ends the second arc and while I didn't like the first arc, I can safely say I despised this arc with all of my being. This has been some of the worst drama I have ever seen. It is somehow overblown and way to heavy, and without weight at the same time. Nothing ever sticks in these drama scenes. Bad things are said, hard feelings are spoken but I know everyone is going to forgive and forget so in the end it is utterly meaningless. Watching Iori and Inaba argue this episode was absolutely hilarious. It was like watching two aliens communicate because no one talks like that, no one argues like that. At first I thought I was being rough on this because I am far beyond stupid teenage at my age but this is far worse than that. The drama in this show is completely manufactured. I'm sure that these characters would have a freak out over a hangnail. God help these characters if something serious ever happened because they will kill themselves overacting. The drama here fails because the emotions don't work together. It's the author or director trying to force closure out of nowhere. Instead it just makes the characters act in unnatural ways. This anime is terrible at comedy, even worse at drama and when it tries to combine the two it does it's best to kill both drama and comedy as art forms. After the first arc I thought this was a boring standard anime but now I pretty actively hate it. I hesitate to blame it on the novel because this could just be a shitty adaptation. |
 |
| This show continues to impress me i was wondering how the whole three girls two guys situation would work out. The first arc was better but this one was still good. Next arc I hope they can bring back that deeper insight from the first five episodes and Yui just needs to fall for Akoi(spelled his name wrong) before this is all over |

Choroshi said: Kananipa said: Iori is so lovely, that's why she's still my no.1 and still my choice for Taichi, no matter what actually happens in the anime. Inaba reminds me too much of myself sometimes and it turns my stomach, that's why I can't like her or understand why people like her. But I guess now she's changed somewhat, or rather decided to unveil her true self, maybe I'll start to like her. Maybe I need an Iori-like friend to snap me out of it, though I'm not sure I'd have to courage to go after someone my friend liked/loved as well, I'd rather they be happy. /hits self on head. yeah Iori is more awesome in this episode, she managed to be a wise and caring character and successfully helped Inaba to solve her conflict, told her to stay true to her feelings towards Taichi. From the beginning of this series, Iori is still the most interesting character for me :D If you notice though Iori's personal problems at home are still and issue and now that her and Inaba will be fighting over Taichi thats going to make her character more complex. Cant wait to see what happens. -side note why is it that Heartseed only takes control of Iori out of the five of them he has only taken control of her in both arcs |
|
| Oh, what a warm and lovely episode <3 and now there will be a triangle drama? This will be good :)!! |
O'Hai :D |
| Holy shit! Awesome episode. Oh my God. 5/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| Trying to catch the anime,and oh my god this is so freaking awesome!!! AHHHHH |

| Inaban was so fucking amazing in the episode. |
 |
| Inaban at the end = OH MY GOD THESE FEELS. Not sure if I'm rooting for her or Nagase anymore :/ |
 |
mystik said: It was rather obvious she liked him. I like the Inaba pairing more though so good for her. Still to sum this up .... YELLING! OVERREACTIONS! CRYING! MORE YELLING! I agree. Still, nice ending to a shitty arc... I hope the last one will make up for it! Inaba is my favorite character in this show, even if she acted boring in the last episodes. I don't think we'll ever see her with Taichi - their personalities look too different - but I'm looking forward to the battle between her and Iori! :D |
| Woooo go Inaba! |
 |
| Hm, I kinda dislike Inaba for her sudden confession and all that. Now that Iori and Taichi has both told the other that that they love each other, she should lay off. If Taichi had yet to confess to Iori, then fighting for him would be okay (though she'd still be a poor friend), but now that their love is mutual, Inaba just irks me... She does look rather cute when she smiles though! And I loved her outfit this episode! Kenju said: Also was I the only one that thought there was gonna be IoriXInaba when she said she loved her!? Nope, my mind drifted along the same lines ;) |
 |
| Inaban is such an amazing character. And Miyuki Sawashiro is doing an even more amazing job voicing her. She was stellar in this episode. |
 |
| When Taichi was saying :Wait Inaba you are talking like you and iori will be fighting...". I bet this went threw his mind:"Holy fuck do i have two girls i used to fap to actually fighting over me and wanting me like crazy? I never thought i would be such a lucky bastard." rainbowdashmimi said: Too bad people didn't see the great qualitys of Inaba unitl now. But whatever, I've always loved Inaban <3 :3 Yeap, was a fan from the start. Didn't need girly side to come all out shouting. She always was better than the other two from the start. |

| Really great episode, and I really like Himeko, now even more than before. The lively and happy Himeko from the end of the episode is so lovely <3 I really prefer Taichi X Himeko, but that probably wouldn't work out with this story since Taichi already confessed his feelings.. well, there are still 7 (+ a last arc following) novels of material left, so why not get a surprise? :) |
| Ah, so it's Iori and Inaba confessing their feelings for each other ... TBH, I've always wondered at friends "supporting" each other when they love the same person. I mean I guess it could work but I've always thought it was kinda weird. I suppose it's never happened to me IRL but honestly IDK if I'd do that lol. Well, at Iori's gonna be friends with Inaba no matter what so she doesn't have to worry about that stuff anymore. Seems like the person Heartseed was referring to was Taichi indeed. Inaba's confession (and the kiss!) certainly took me by surprise. A great ending to a not-so-great episode IMO. Now they're officially "fighting" over him I guess ... I still like Iori better (and Taichi too it seems) but like she said, there's still time for him to change his mind. Interesting how Taichi's only kissed Inaba even though he likes Iori ... :P |
| Inaba was so pretty the entire episode I'm glad the weight on her shoulders has finally lifted <3 |
| This episode was awesome. Inaba is so fucking cute. |
| I've had Inaba down as my favourite character in this since the start. This episode made my day as she deserves to have good things happen to her. =) |
 |
| Mediocre ending to an uneventful arc. I liked how the previous arc established the body switching mechanic then made it all pay off in the finale. I'm disappointed they didn't do something similar with the inner desires. Still, I can't wait to see what's next. |
| It was a nice episode. I almost feel bad for Taichi... NOT! What a lucker he is. Man, Inaba... that's what you get for holding back your emotions like all the time. |
  |
| Inaba and Iori's fight was extremely well done in my opinion, great voice acting for it. The bit that really got me was when Inaba said "If I show people how weak I am, they won't need me anymore.". That was a really hard-hitting line and the music in the background at that point was really fitting. And it's really heartwarming to see them joke about fighting over Taichi at the end. Extremely excited for the next arc! |

Extremely excited for the next arc! Have to agree with this, word for word. That specific line was the most impacting. Also, finally a Nature trip! Loved every second of the hiking, the cooking, the interactions and of course the sparks that were flying. Beautiful ending to a brilliant arc. Iori and Inaba's friendship is awesome. Go Inaba! Fight! Kiss! Just sincerely enjoy your life! :) 5/5 |

| A love triangle has started and with an excellent kiss that is! I do wonder how it will play forward in the story, the episode it self was nice its also nice to see that this arc has ended and there's still some room for something new or a conclusion of everything! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| YES! Taichi x Inaba ftw, I was waiting for this, still I would bet that Taichi x Iori is the final pairing. |
 |
| I started watching this anime on a whim, but oh... I am so glad I continued it. I enjoyed seeing the usually semi-stoic Inaba lose control, giving into those feelings and letting go of her emotions. I wasn't quite sure I would like it when I saw it, but I actually loved it. Even though I love lori's character, I have to say I've been a a Inaba x Taichi fan since they both confessed the same ah-hem... inappropriate act. As EZSPECIAL stated, the ending will most likely be lori x Taichi, but I hope Inaba gives her a run for the money (and the man). |
| Inaba just doesn't cut it for me. Her reactions are always so over the top. She's made for drama though haha. The voice actor totally made her sound serious every time she spoke, so It makes me feel weird almost makes me wanna cringe. I just can't take her seriously when it comes to the things she says and does =/. Or maybe I take her too seriously by what she says and does haha. |
| Please send me a message/profile comment since I will most likely not check my forum posts. Thank you. |
| Inaba is so freakin' awesome, so so so so awesome. So cute, so adorable, charming, dainty, attractive and beautiful. She's just Kawaii. Just love her :D (used thesaurus to find synonyms for cute :p) But I seriously love Inaba's character, she is definitely on my favorite list. This episode was as good as the rest. Just loving this show. |
 |
| Wow Colonel haha. you really love her xD |
| Please send me a message/profile comment since I will most likely not check my forum posts. Thank you. |
| INABA KAWAII. |
 |
| Best episode so far, inaba is... *-* |
| OH MY GOSH this has to be one of the greatest confession/romance episode of any show I've ever seen!! It was crazy how much I was able to relate to Inaba and how she acts and her decisions. After all, if it doesn't work out with Taichi, she felt that she'd lose her friends too by revealing her love. The confession and kiss at the end were so well done. I'm also glad we didn't get the cliche anime follow up where one girl continues to hide her feelings while the other pursues. It's great to see that both will be going for it (especially since I still like Taichi x Iori). Inaba finally gets some major development and I think she's already my favorite character in this show. |

| I enjoyed the Iori and Inaba scene. Inaba was worried what could happen if she stayed with her friends because she would be a third wheel in the love part. I was hoping Iori would slap Inaba and say "You baka do you really think we would think less of you". As for Heartseed saying Taichi fell for some reason I did not believe he would actually fall off the cliff. Had Taichi fallen he would have seriously injured himself, and Heartseed said he doesn't want to hurt them. Inaba 2-0 Iori is kissing. Technically Inaba's lips kissed Taichi twice, one where Iori was in Inaba's body, and this episode. |

Inaba reminds me too much of myself sometimes and it turns my stomach, that's why I can't like her or understand why people like her. But I guess now she's changed somewhat, or rather decided to unveil her true self, maybe I'll start to like her. This. Except I won't start to like her, I'll always be indifferent. She's not a bad person but I hate the whole "I'm being covert about my true personality for x, y, z reasons". And since we're all being honest about our favorite characters now: Nagase Iori is definitely one of the coolest main females I've seen in anime. Right off the bat you think she's going to be a happy-go-lucky, peppy, life's a joy girly-girl. And for the most part that's right (voice, fashion, attitude). But even she has moments where she doesn't know what to feel or how to act (in first arc). When there's conflict she tackles it head on, as with Yui locking herself up and Inaba being evasive. What I love the most is that she keeps her chin up in the lowest of lows and always wears a smile to her friends, and it's not a false display of okay-ness, it's a signal that things will turn out alright eventually. So for that and the fact that they're such a team, IORIxTAICHI ftw~ |
 |
| Damn this episode was emotional and great, these episodes are just getting better and better! |
| Finally had been waiting for this kiss!!! http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/picture%2031/ba9c6253.gif Hmm,kinda want Taichi x Inaba ending but also okay with Tachi x Iori ending too. |
| Inaban was so adorable and awesome! On a side note, that kitten was adorable too. |
| Damn, that was so cute, my heart is melting :3 And her reaction after the kiss... HHHHHHHNNNNNG that's best girl for you, mah niggas! Now, more in depth, it was a pretty eventful episode for an arc that was so slow. But her confrontation with Iori was just as great as I expected. And her to cry one's eyes out when she saw that Taichi was fine, that was so sweet :3 Can't believe she falled for Heartseed trap. Though, I must admit that the way he was presenting it, it looked really like an accident, so that's why I can understand it :P Okay now Iori, just go lesbian already and make out with glasses girl, she was even has bold as to propose you to masturbate you, that's some great dedication. |

| Damn it! Inaba flustered at the end was kawaii! Inaba x Taichi bish! |
