| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Following it live on 2ch now (TX). Seems like some weird shit is going on. Ami + Ryuugi = ? Haha, this was funny: YES!!! Finally, we see Inko-chan again: |
| Finally it's here! Great episode and weird things going on? Hmmmmm better recheck that. Well I got it rechecked and seems the sound is terrible so I missed some parts but before I forget, Taiga's father said at one point to Ryyuji "something........Kanojo aishiteru" My question would be did he reallly ask Ryuuji to love like a woman his daughter? Actually he just affirms that Ryuuji loves his daughter but such recognition by the father is great stuff still! Thanks to saxdemigod for some feedback! :D If so then I would understand why after he went berserk mode to convince Aisaka. Well I should start from the beginning of the episode. Strangely enough I understood that Taiga was bitching from the start about the heat again. XD That was a little funny since it's nice to see Taiga any time she gets angry. :3 Too bad Taiga got her gym clothing ripped by Ami, damn that fight sucked compared to the second one later. The new guy with the blue hair Is he Ami's brother? I swear he has some similar feature to Ami. Of course they had to make Ryuuji imagine the whole maid "How it would be" thing. Taiga's phone is cute. Inko being back is great! I completely agreed with the teacher about the rock band idea! Following this I did not like the fact that Taiga naturally hated her father even though she has her own reasons. Parents are precious and unless they attempt to kill you on purpose no one should hate them, especially if they have guts to stand up to their responsibility of giving money and making sure you are safe. In Poland family is most precious to us. Love, adored and think it was very well done regarding Aisaka's father and Aisaka's father meeting Ryuuji in the restaurant (tamago bagel anyone? XD). When the second fight came, that's when I liked it a lot more and though it was good compared to the first one. First I went O_O when Aisaka kicked her father between his legs and called him a stalker. She really may kill him. I do not understand but my eye went T_T and ;_; when Ryuuji pinned down Aisaka and was telling to make up with her father immediately. It went with more intense emotions when Ryuuji apologized but Aisaka after put her hand on his mouth :3 Even more when Aisaka hugged her father! Great episode and full of emotions this time and less ecchi (less than before, I would think). 5/5 1.Some tears started T_T 2. Went on but seemed a lot more happier, since I said before in my country family is sacred. 1.  2.  In spoiler. 1.Taiga is angry. 2.The father is great! We all have one anyways. 3. Great fight it was this one compared to the one at the beginning. After subs thoughts So the new step mom is called Yuu. Ok fine. The dad had all the crap cause the new wife is younger than him and Taiga/Yuu could not get used to each other's lives. Ok, like I already said for this episode. Yuu should get used to Taiga not Taiga to her. I would logically do so also if I really loved the new marriage to work out. So pro-wrestling as first suggestion in the Cultural festival class gathering. Unless the girls are in bikini and there is mud as well as it is interior (too cold in September for mud wrestling with bikini girls) it would be a awesome idea. Inko! Damned, damned, damned new mother Hahahhahhahhhahah that was one of the best for Inko-san. Screw the heroine Ami in the play, I saw let Taiga win and evil triumph with Ryuuji as the henchman! Muhahahhahhahahh! >:D |

Oh, actually it seems like that person is one of the teachers: They're preparing for the "文化祭", "Culture Festival". haha, Taiga gets so angry here: Yeah Ami's got something up her sleeve for this festival, I wonder if it will alone time with Ryuuji? WTH? Cannot erase this? No one can delete messages? XD Teacher looking like Ami, freaky? |

| I can't watch Raws, so I'll have to wait for the subs to come out tomorrow.. |
| Finally some backgrounds of Taiga's family. Her father doesn't look so bad like she described him (bakajijii).. it won't continue like Taiga goes back home, there are plenty of episodes left. Highlight shot: class rep = idiot, but Pro-Wrestling is very unusual :D - Taiga and Ryuuji being the antagonists fits well^^ Minorin's soul is sweating.. well done that scene but she was ignored :< |
| wasn't done well 3.5/5 |
| slayer545 - he didn't ask ryuuji if he loved taiga, he was simply saying that he loves his daughter, taiga |

saxdemigod said: slayer545 - he didn't ask ryuuji if he loved taiga, he was simply saying that he loves his daughter, taiga Ok thanks the stupid sound must have been off with the RAW I got and no I had no access to my friends' super satellite channels choice since I could not go see him. Thanks again but Ryuuji does love Aisaka just as a friend though and that sucks but the father seems to like him as a person. Added: Kushieda..............hahahahahahahahhhahahh!  |

sniW said: slayer545-sama said: weird things going on? Hmmmmm better recheck that. Oh, actually it seems like that person is one of the teachers:  He's a student in Ryuuji's class but is one of the students also in charge of the cultural festival. slayer545-sama said: Is he Ami's brother? How misinformed are you people? He's been there since the beginning of the show. If he were her brother, then they would've made significant reference to it already. Not to mention he's one of those male students who faps to Ami every night. This was an ok episode. Plenty of development on Taiga's part. It's nice to see the less known supporting cast get some decent screentime. Yuri-chan is just lulz. We need to see more of her. |
 |
Wasabi said: How misinformed are you people? He's been there since the beginning of the show. Haha, pretty misinformed, apparently. Again, I was only watching screenshots of the anime and reading commentary as they were being posted live on 2ch, so I didn't actually realize he was one of the students until I watched HorribleRaws' release. |
| I think I've never encountered a romantic school life comedy that had such (emotional) depth. Truly amazing! |
| Shit...Ryuu got violent there. Nice ep, funny and dramatic. |
| Stop by the Anime Tenchou Club! |
Kvakond said: What always amaze me is they always keep it realistic... I don't know the word, but this anime doesn't exaggerate stuff. Some of the episodes may be cliché (e.g. swimming poll) but it always skew away to be original. I wonder how often you see a pro-wrestling themed cultural festival done in anime. XDI think I've never encountered a romantic school life comedy that had such (emotional) depth. Truly amazing! I'm really impressed with Taiga. She's really into her violent character throughout the episode. And how she express her hate to her father isn't like she memorized a script. The father seems like a normal nice guy. I've wondered what's Taiga's family like since when she mentioned it first a while ago (kicking lightning pole in the midst of night scene). From what I understand, from her dad's perspective, the new mother is really young. And somehow, either side must separate from others. From some misunderstandings, Taiga moved out on her own in that apartment thinking she's been abandoned, which is why she hate her dad so much. KICK TO THE GROIN! Maybe after seeing Ryuuji's acting very emotional, she thinks she would give it another try. Seeing she still have her father, and Ryuuji doesn't. It's been bugging me, but if Taiga live with her father again, she could possibly move back to her house. After her father break up with the stepmom that is. Though in anime like this, I'm betting Taiga will still live around Ryuuji. A major development or not. That is the question. Back to school life, I can't wait for that pro wrestling event lol. |
 |
| Right, first time posting in the Forums for this anime I think. I will start off by saying that this my fave anime of the season, EASILY by a mile! I like to do predictions and read between lines so if I uncover plotholes and create spoilers by accident, gomenasai. We I think I have learnt a fair few things this episode and shall predict off it...:

About that ChiBuki, trust me if I could have gone during my parent's divorce to have my own place. I would be happier like that, yeah not real mom in family sucks. Nice comments dude. |

| Awww, it was really nice seeing Aisaka and her father hug at the end. Hope things go well for the both of them in the next episode ^_^ |

| Decent episode imo, the more Taiga the better. Also liked how they avoided the cliche cosplay cafe. 4/5 |

| An episode mixed with both comedy and seriousness. The transition wasn't so good though. I don't fully understand the context here, is Taiga' s father wants to live together with Taiga so much even if it means having to separate from his wife, or his new marriage is already falling apart by itself? |

I think the new marriage is falling apart. Besides it might be possible Taiga hates new step mom and step mom hates Taiga. Since father cares about Taiga and step mom can see that and likes not. Then step mom maybe move away from father because she wants nothing to do with a girl like Taiga, which I think in this case the step mom would be a |

| Great episode, loved the ending. Ryuuji letting out his emotions... i liked it. Also i cant wait for the next episode, suddenly im very glad this will be a 25 episodes series :D |
 |
| wow this episode was so damn good, it was insanely funny, had great character development with taiga, and got really emotional. i couldn't ask for more out of an episode from this show. |
| Pretty good episode, even tho I don't like the fact that in almost every single anime that has anything to do with school, they give damned school festival thing D: Still its pretty original idea compared to rest, but we need more Ami-chwaaan! |
| Hmmmm interesting, so that was Taiga's dad eh? I wish they would have had an actual preview...I am curious. |
| Man this is such a freaking amazing show. I actually look forward to it every week with the same enthusiasm as Nodame Cantabile, which is big. Like everyone else is saying, there's just so much depth - these characters come to life and none of them with the exception of Kitamura come close to being cliched. I mean you have to be really good at what you do to make the introduction of a new dramatic character (Taiga's dad) come full circle with emotion and some kind of new plot twist in just one episode, but they do it magnificently in this episode. He had like 6 lines and already I feel like he's important. What I also like is that at this point, I have NO clue who I really want to end up with Ryuuji. I mean I am literally 50/50 between Taiga and Minori. And when a show makes me feel that way, I just love it, because I feel like whoever he ends up with, I'll win and be happy at the results. (as opposed to Honey and Clover. Ugh. That show's end made me SAD.) I want episode 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Romance comedy anime - Japan's gift to America |
| Awesome episode ^__^ |

| Love this anime. It's so funny yet realist. Wonder if Taiga is going to move back in with her dad. Can't wait to see how the culture feast will turn out. |
| hi |
| I wonder what the thing is that makes her dad so bad is, could almost be anything o_o |

| God awesome :3 I was an AmiXRuiji Fan but imi in doubts now.In this ep it seemed like Taiga is meant to be with Riuji!! God why all animes with Kugumiya Rie playing the Tsundere role kick ass so much? :) |
 |
| Felt really overwhelmed in this episode. Can't wait till the next one! |
 |
| So cute. ((: WTF, Kushieda? Who gets off on making haunted houses? Haha. Takasu is fairly violent. :O |

 |
| You are absolutely right Heist. And Ryuuji isn't as stiff as he used to be when talking to Minorin. In my opinion it's not determined if he will end up with Taiga. Minorin is not as distant as was like 5 eps ago. |
| i do love the end, but i still suspect that something will happen between taiga and her father. Dont think that she will go back to him so easily, or he just pretend to be a nice guy. Was also nice to see how ryuuji react to taigas action. |
     |
| Another wonderful episode Ok in the first part I thought: No Maid Cafe please,but then the class planned to do a theater play. With Taiga as the devils incarnate XD I was really touched by the Scene as Taiga hugged her father and the ryuji x Taiga scene. Maybe, thebest show of this Season. |

| Taiga didn't hug her dad. He hugged her. That was my impression. I guess her resting his head on him can be argued, but I'm a firm believer that properly hugging someone require arms wrapping around. As for the episode overall, good to see they aren't doing something cliched for the festival. |
| Crazy teacher is amazing. <3 I almost forgot about the Lolita suggestion from Ryuugi. It may have been a little unoriginal to get the girls dressed up, but it would have been so worth it. |

| Adam, do not spoil, please. |
| Good episode. Not the best but it was on a fairly high level like the rest of this show. Not so much good comedy this time, but we had some more serious drama. I liked the interactions between Taiga und Ryuu, though I am still a bit confused about the story with her father. This is some kind of cliffhanger? |
   |
| Extremely enjoyable episode, very funny. Good growth in Taiga and Ryuuji's relationship, it was nice to see. Oh, and Taiga's dad, Ryuuji, and I all felt that kick to the nuts, the palmtop tiger sure is scary. |

Loli costumes and maid cafe anyone? Taiga in beauty contest would win. It is just a matter of which clothing to make her wear. I want to see the results in #12 of that contest. I wonder if Ami is going to participate in it. |
