I think Ami was genuinely scared of the stalker, but there’s still no way she’s trustworthy. Someone like that is dangerous, and the exact opposite of who you would want to be in a relationship with.
Y'know, they were trying to claim Ami was pudgy and had gained weight due to the binge-eating/stalker stress, but she doesn't look thicc at all. Give me an ass or some thick, powerful thighs to admire.
"No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!"
I love how Ami points out the abuse that Taiga gives to Ryuji after Taiga ate all of his sides.
She is reading my mind.
Otherwise for some reason I thought her running all angry and and her angry face when smashing the camera was really cute for some reason, seeing a fake cute girl go crazy is nice.
And Ami was super sexual at the end +10, lets see how Taiga reacts now.
I got a feeling that Ami wil end up as best girl for me in the end. Taiga continues to be a bitch this episode and Minori goes along with her annoying ideas a bit too often. As long as Ami won't start admiring Taiga like crazy at least.
What the hell am I seeing? o_o; Such twisted personality! I was surprised to see Ami destroying the stalker's camera (which was win). He got what he deserved.
Taiga's reaction to see Ami's move on Takasu was no good. I am curious about next episode now!
In a show where they're happy to show Taiga beating up Ryuji often its weird they didn't have the stalker beaten up. Ryuji really is on another level of awkward though.
I really like Ami. A lot of her behaviour reminds me of Yukino from Kare Kano, but at the same time she has her own reasons to be like that. She is very interesting actually, I like characters like her. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that last scene with her and Ryuuji... Even if it turns out she is sincere (which I don't have much doubts in), the way the show just went fan service mode with her was very awkward. There are a lot of similar scenes in anime, and it always seems to be coming out of nowhere.
Taiga though, really annoys me. On one hand, she is quite fun and cute and the show tries to provide reasons to her antics is nice, but on the other hand it just makes it look like it is fine for her to be an abuser. No. It's not. No matter what are her reasons, what she's doing isn't okay. Of course, here she was in the right because the guy was a perverted stalker and last episode she was in the right because Ami treated her like trash, but in the end it doesn't matter because she behaves like that towards literally everyone except Kitamura and Minori (and even she sometimes gets a bit of Taiga's abuse). So yeah, not good. The initial idea of her abusing others due to letting out her frustration is nice, but if you try to make it look like something cute then it's suddenly not so nice.
And Minori, well, she is annoying. I liked her in episode 3 but now it's becoming complicated.
So I really hope Ami remains a good character. Not that the show is bad without her, not at all, but she makes it much more interesting, at least for now.
On a side note, I listened to the op for the first time and it reminds me a lot of one of Ojamajo Doremi's openings. I just thought that was funny.
So this Ami situation was solved faster than I expected and the way it was solved was peaceful I would say. Obviously not for the stalker that is… He will never talk about Ami ever again. Taiga’s unique personality is coming in front. Ami is trying weird stuff with Ryuji.
I want to see Taiga and Ryu kiss. It better happen soon. :(
Also, like Ami went wild on that stalker lol. Glad she’s willing to show her true self to Ryu.
They're still at it annoying the hell out of Ami and she has a secret stalker following her that's one hell of a creepy guy
lol Ami asking why Taiga and Ryuuji had the same bento and of course Taiga dealt with it in her own way, She also made Ryuuji volunteer for work
So Ami is going to confront her fears and get rid of this stalker good, That ending though what did Taiga just saw she just paused and of course Inko what was that face.
Two crazy gals and another gal that is ultra spunky. Man so much to handle.
Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.
I didn't like Ami, and tbh I still don't, but I'm glad she got to confront that stalker and sort of let herself ease up a bit.
I sort of assumed she'd respect Taiga more for attacking the stalker, but ig it'll take a bit more for them to get along.
Anywho, I guess we're in for a love triangle --er square since now Ryu has Minori, Taiga, AND Ami in his circle
Everybody seems to really like Ami but I still don't like her really, I feel like her more honest side is still going to be pretty obnoxious and self-centered. The fact that she had to fake it so hard, and to do so intentionally seems like a bad sign.
I know Aisaka does the same thing, but it still feels like the way she does it is more genuine. I trust her as a character a lot more.
The ending was super jarring too. I dunno if its supposed to be a reveal showing that Ami actually has feelings for Takasu, is she still faking it? Or if it's supposed to show that Aisaka has feelings for Takasu, cuz she did look pretty distraught. : (
So there is more to Ami then it at first appeared. Wasn't expecting her to show a more vulnerable side as well, but she is starting to become an interesting character.
cliched ending, decent plot moving forward before. Ami dropped her mask after Ryuuji directly confronted her about it and she did the same against the stalker and destroyed the camera (hopefully, he won't appear any more)
Ami was introduced an episode ago and has already gone through a character arc and a few different alternating dispositions. Faster pacing than you'd expect for a series with 26 episodes and only a few recurring characters of any relevance.
Why did Taiga have such a shocked reaction at the end of the episode? She barely paid Ami any heed when she initially dropped the "nice girl act" in the cafe, and this hardly seems more substantial. Maybe it'll be revealed soon.
loved this one. i thought Kawashima was such an annoying fake b at first, but seeing her finally express her true self genuinely felt so awesome and made me like her a lot. now that's good writing
