| Am I the only one who thought that the taste of fried chicken from a kiss was slightly disturbing? O-O Other than that, a lot happened in the episode, all of which I liked. ^^ |

MidnightPride said: That Arai or Aragi or w.e her name was she was just a whore :| No matter how I looked at he she just was passing herself out at him... To be fair, a lot of characters in this series are like that. |
 |
| I love this show. But story went little bit into girl becoming stalker ;D I still don't get why he's kissing her, and asking her if she love him without himself connfessing to her. |
MidnightPride said: That Arai or Aragi or w.e her name was she was just a whore :| No matter how I looked at he she just was passing herself out at him... Why is she a whore? Because she likes him? Because she feels attracted to him? Because she wants him? Because she is a human being? If she was just ready to sleep with him because he's popular, then i would agree. Ep. was great! But not as great as the first xD. |
| Deep fried chicken? .....Random but not very funny. It wasnt as good as the first episode and Im starting to like the main guy less and less. It was still entertaining though. Hopefully the next episode will be better and Mei will get more of her spunk back. |
LazyLuong said: I haven't read the manga, but the flow from episode 1 and 2 felt like the Mei is a completely different person after the stalking incident follow by the kiss. I mean, from having trust issue to all of a sudden being friends with the other characters and a bit more talkative. It felt like something was missing and didn't flow right with me. Basically the change in Mei as well as her actions was too quick of a change for character development. Agreed! It's one thing to drag an anime on episode after episode, but it's another thing to rush it to the point that what happens in terms of character development and relationships is not believable give the timeline. That being said, I didn't dislike the episode. I just think it should slow down a little. |

| Great episode once again. Can't get enough of Mei. |

Ajunky said: Well, it was the last thing he ate. It just means the kiss was deep enough for her to be able to tell. Of course, ask anyone hungry enough what's better between a kiss and fried chicken and the real answer should be obvious. XD Lol you are hilarious dude. Okay, the whole manga is a typical shoujo manga, and I would not expect anything interesting to be pulled out in the anime either. A play boy but kind+gentle met and took care of an isolated girl, then helped her realized the feelings of love, full of cliche (thks to the player, she was able to make friends). At least Asami-chan(bb girl) part satisfied me a bit though, she deserved a good end. But still, it felt rushed, unnatural development(using a kiss to force development? Boring). Character developments were quite mediocre, and the guy seems like he did the same thing exactly to every girl he met, thus he found kisses were quite normal and casual. I prefer Kimi ni Todoke than this, more light hearted feelings. So to conclude, this season Tonari is still better than sukitte, and kamisama-kiss in shoujo genres. this episode, 3/5 |

Plus nothing ever happens in that manga, ever. |

| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Taste of fried chicken? Anyhow, it was a sweet episode. |

Manga is even better, but so complicated T.T And I can't wait to see of this anime reaches all that talk about sex :P Woah O.o akutasame94 said: Ah and does anyone know when they publish chapters (translated of course) or is it the same as Zetsuen no Tempest... There are 50 chapters and only 22 had been translated... There are six or seven volumes out in Japan and 20+ translated chapters on the internet :S There were long gaps between the online releases before, but right now, they're being released faster (not sure if it'll stay like this, though). bakuramariks said: If she was just ready to sleep with him because he's popular, then i would agree. Ô.o Isn't that how it was? Arai definitely doesn't love him, and I think anyone could tell that. Jigero said: Plus nothing ever happens in that manga, ever. That's exactly how I felt when reading it ~_~ It's a miracle how I survived reading 45 chapters... |
| Ironic that Mei's the stalker this time. Bullied for big having big boobs? Really? I dont' that would happen anywhere. Props to Nakanishi, though I thought he was going to be the love rival. The kisses.... fried-chicken flavored. I think I'm enjoying this more than I should. I blame E7 |
on 
| damn really sweet anime. Looking forward for next week |
 |
| I can't decide for myself whether I think the show is corny or sweet (maybe both?), but either way it works. |
| Ara ara. |

Arai definitely doesn't love him, and I think anyone could tell that. She maybe doesn't love him but she perhaps is sexually attracted to him. Lust. The good old lust xD. |
| This anime is making me hopeless romantic. ;A; |
| Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick" Araragi: Then what should I call you? Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama. Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly. Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~ |
| I really liked this episode! I gotta say, this episode contained more kisses than some whole series do! XD Loved how Mei defended Asami in the bathroom scene. Also, Mei's confession to Yamato about how some girls get hurt with kisses that hold no feeling was nice to watch^^ |
 |
| OP is awesome. Really nice. I felt like Asami was going to be the evil bitch until she hooked up with the other guy. Now she reminds me of Orihime Inoue because she has big boobs and people make fun of her boobs. ._. This anime uses "I love you" so easily. I feel kind of disgusted by how fast it's going but then it's also kind of sweet at the same time, thanks to damn sexy seiyuu Takahiro Sakurai. Hnnggggg. I hate main guy because he's such a player but at the same time he's so hot. D; For a comparison in both Shoujo's I'm currently watching: Tonari is still better than this. And I haven't tried Kamisama yet. :P |
| I have mixed reactions to this episode. Not really liking Kurosawa - but maybe part of what will happen here is Tachibana will help him get over himself. Maybe. However, I rolled my eyes at Tachibana trying to stalk him. The hookup between Oikawa and Nakanishi, and Tachibana part in it, was good, however. "Deep fried chicken"? When I was a grad-student I broke up with a woman I was dating because she was a heavy smoker and though I liked her I just couldn't bring myself to continue "kissing an ash tray" and she wouldn't consider quitting. |

| Wow alot of progress in this episode. Mei kind of confessed already, Kurosawa (?) didn't though. And Asami is going out with that other dude. Asami turned out to be a nice girl. I didn''t expect that. I still get the feeling that Kurosawa is a loverboy. He kissed almost every girl in school so he can get every girl in school. Why would he like Mei? I get the feeling that he just wanted to win her over. So he could add another girl to his list, at least that would be realistic. But then again he did ditch his first love in the karaoke bar. So mayby he actually does like Mei? Ahh wel we'll see. I expect seeing Kurosawa having issues with his true feelings though. Right now I like Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun better than this one, mainly because I like the main guy there more than the guy in this anime. Mei is cuter though. She looked great in her stalker costume :P. I wish she would take more care of her hair though. |

He barely knows her, she is an introvert and she isn't that much of pretty like the other girls he is around. Maybe he wants to win her, just to show off that he was able to get the most distant, introvert girl of the school. But I hope not, because I will totally hate Yamato. I also agree that the male protagonist of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is better, since he is childish & random. |

| I prefer having things happen than to go a full season still at "just friends," but I'd also like development before KISS KISS KISS KISS. The episode was pretty good overall, but that last scene...not feeling it. |
| I have to agree with those who said that this episode felt rushed because it was. Since this anime is only getting 13 episodes (T_T), it kind of has to have a faster pace.. I read the manga first so watching this I was like "Holy crap slow down" It sucks that it has to progress this fast cause in the manga the pacing is slower and the character development isn't so hasty. Plus, there are some little funny parts scattered throughout that the anime omitted xD Even with the fast pacing, it's still sweet and adorable (: |
| Why does the dude like her so much though? I mean, if some girl kicked you in the face by accident and thus behaved differently from the girls who fawn over you, you'd take notice. But for him to be struck by instant love? I guess worse plots have been contrived, but their relationship is then centered around liking the out of place things that they're used to. For instance, Yamato: Girls not liking him instantly (Mei) Mei: Gorgeous guy talking to you... Welp, guess its shoujo, so I won't really stress on it. |
 |
| Lovely opening. |
Salinga said: Why is Mei so adorable in anime form. While it's nice that they condensed two chapters into one episode, I'm not crazy that they skimmed over a bunch of details. I loved the episode as well, and I honestly did not think they would get to the kisses this fast. It felt rushed..I feel like this is the type of anime where some details from the manga are important and should of been added, but oh well. I still loved it : ) Since I've read the manga, I fill those details in my head, but it does not go well for those who have not. |

Plus nothing ever happens in that manga, ever. They did something in the latest chapter(kissing and stuff, yes they did). And nooo it didn't rip off anything, it is the most popular shoujo manga cause other shoujo manga just failed to deliver the love-friendship-relationship part. True story. http://www.tenmanga.com/chapter/KiminiTodoke72/296613-4.html, Well at least their relationship in Kimi ni Todoke is much more serious and realistic than this guy and Mei. The guy kissed her then like her? It likes forcing a kiss when she was stalked, and that's the forced development(felt like she was raped, the kiss went against her will dude). Kazehaya in Kimi ni Todoke is more respectful than this sukitte male protagonist, he's a popular guy but he is not a player. He likes Sawako for the way she is, and it takes time to build one's relationship. On the other hand, this Yamato guy doesn't have any valid reason for him to like an introverted but somewhat annoying girl like Mei. I can see he took interested in her after she gave his friend a kick, but, to the extend that he loved her after a few days were nonsense. Lol and she stalked him, he should creeped out a little bit. Tbh, I've watched and read lots of romance ani/manga, and this is just above average. |

| Dat kiss. and dat stalking. omg. I was starting to giggle when she starting to feel jealous about Arai. Mei, did you notice that you fell for him already?! Geez. Nice and sweet show. :) And that episode name? I was lol'ed so hard at it. >_< |

Well, apparently that's an actua problem in anime. It is certainly preferred where I live lol But did he? I don know about the manga, but that was said as a rumor, it may be true, but still... and got either the typical shoujo playboy or the typical shoujo loser, so that's very subjective. And it's not all about looks. Haha this anime is getting to me... As for this being rushed, I think that if you're going to make a romance you should make stuff happen instead of making episode after episode of just tension and awkward situations. There's also the fact that this will be only be 12 episodes long. No time for all the typical situations in shoujo. |

stillawake said: Taste of fried chicken? Anyhow, it was a sweet episode. Yeah, they didn't really emphasize it as much as they did in manga but when they were doing karaoke Kurosawa ate fried chicken. Thus his kiss tasted like fried chicken. Anyways it was a good episode. I actually was looking forward to this because they got straight in the relationship already and then begin from there with the problems, romantic developments and such. Where a lot of the anime I've watched recently gives you the couple right at the end of the show. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| ehh this episode kinda made me lose the appeal for this show guess i'm just more of a comedy guy and when it comes to Shoujo's pretty much all of them i've seen have some amount to break the ice at points, but this one seems to be straight up focusing on the romance development Which it should lol |
 |
| Those kisses almost killed me, too sudden XD Beautiful OP I still don't believe Kurosawa. Mei is cute and really kind this ep |

In manga their relationship is deeper, and Mei gets cuter xD |
 |
| Maybe its because I don't watch much Shoujo but I was surprised about how they talk about topics in real life that are taken seriously. The other shoujo of the season Tonari no Kaibutu is something I could never see happen here but Sukitte is something plausible at the very least. Oppai Oppai! the topic of the episode. That stuff was okay but the end with Mei was still of a better quality than the rest of the episode. The transition to Suneohair(ED) was pretty smooth too which I enjoyed |
LazyLuong said: Takana_no_Hana said: The guy kissed her then like her? It likes forcing a kiss when she was stalked, and that's the forced development(felt like she was raped, the kiss went against her will dude). LOL, I agree too. It's also part of the reason why I said they force that scene as the ending for episode two, glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. But during the scene, he did explain why he like her with each kiss. Maybe it's because I'm a guy, I see the kissing scene more of a situation where he is manipulating her into liking him with each kiss bundle up with a complement / explanation. This is why I felt the short moment they had near end of chapter 4 would much prefer if they had to fill up the episode. What I did enjoy about the manga were the character growth of the characters in the manga and less on the relationship development itself, but the relationship situations does have its moment once in a while. *Added spoiler tag. Indeed. -- O_O Like, wow, Mei came out of her shell conveniently fast, and Kurosawa fell for her quickly. Meh. >.> all of a sudden, they're both in love with each other (well, maybe not all of a sudden, but it is... developing at a rate which caused me to be unable to take it seriously). |
