The background music was perfect this episode. Great balance between humor and drama.

I shall have to do a whole marathon of this series once it's over. Anyone have any rumors on how many episodes this is going to be?

Cool. I'll be doing the same. =D

I haven't heard anything but this is my guess based on where the manga is at. There are 40-43 chapters now I think. At the pace the anime is going and with the source plot available, the total should be more than 24 episodes. I don't want to spoil anything but if Production I.G. decides to end the anime where I'm estimating they will, the total will probably be about 30-36 episodes and that's also my hope.

Sup all...new here...glad i found a place to share thoughts.

Didn't see anyone else mention it...but who was it that said Sawako looked like a Voodoo Doll? Did i just imagine it? Was it Kurumi or one of the girls with her? The way i saw it, it was Kurumi thinking it. If that's the case, it's already a sign she's a two-face....which would make for some rough episodes coming up.

And just to share a bit...I was late in joining the anime nation. Watching random episodes of Bleach on american channels peaked my interest...and from there, i've been hooked. Since then i've watched so many series...Itazura Na Kiss, Clannad, Chobits, nogizaka haruka no himitsu (which i was so happy to hear was getting a 2nd season...and it's great so far! :-P ) and of course, my favorite, ToraDora. Anyways...sorry for rambling, but i look forward to adding my 2 cents from now on.

Be easy,

Mario

Sawako was just cute again. Still takes some time until she calls them with shortened names.
And Kurumi seems to be taking evil side soon, lol.

The best hair style for Sawako..

eeeeek next episode Sawako's finally going to realise she likes Kazehaya!<3

The more people hate Kurumi the more sorry I feel for her haha. Dude, it's not nice to be happy about her getting rejected, no matter how much of a bitch she is!XD
she's liked Kazehaya since forever and she doesn't have a chance with him. Doesn't that seem a little sad to you? And it's obvious that he likes Sawako, so imo that's a pretty good excuse for her not to like Sawako. And love makes you crazy. XD (I'm kidding on that last point~)

I don't have any particular love for Kurumi, but I'll defend any character recieving morer hate than they deserve-and she especially doesn't deserve to be hated by people who haven't read the manga and haven't even seen what she's like when she shows her true colours!
(And no, hating her because she likes Kazehaya or because she and Kazehaya interacting makes Sawako feel jealous is NOT a good reason. And Die For Our Ship is stupid anyway but it's SO pointless when it's directed towards a character that doesn't stand a chance in the first place.)

LOL SORRY RANT. Loved the episode. My chest hurts too!<3 Once again, I wish I knew a Kazehaya. Hell, I wish I knew a Sawako, she's so damn adorable, I just want to cuddle her constantly >w<
Once again, seiyuus are amazing. I loved it when Kazehays said "what?" softly to Sawako.<3333
And Aya really is doing well as Kurumi-(I see no hate for her this time!Yay!*feels a small victory as I ranted about that last week*) i've never heard her sound like this (but you can still tell it's her. It's nice.) has she ever done a role where she's used a similar voice? It's so nice~ I'd like to hear it on a genuinely nice character. XD

Like I'm telling millions before, being in love doesn't mean you have the right to play an act and framing up things behind from people (Sawako and many girls before, you'll get to see it) behind. That's dirty. And what about she's acting like she's not even a bit interested in Kazehaya but ALWAYS appearing behind him. She is a two-faced coward bitch. But people just feel sorrrrrrrrrry for her all the time.

Okay, srsly, Hirano's voice sounds awful there. It just doesn't fit Kurumi, even though both of them are annoying. Poor Sawako :(

Kurumi meant her to be like a creepy Voodoo doll when called Sawako a doll....
Sawako got happy without knowing the true meaning of being called a "doll"
Yoshida and yano were the ones to reveal the true meaning of the "doll" word..
Wow i have used "doll " word alot in this post..*he he*

I see exactly where this is going. Kurumi is making friends with Sawako so that she can confess to her about liking Kurumi, and probably even ask her to help them be together. She knows Sawako is too nice, and the only way she could possibly be with Kazehaya is to cut to the chase with Sawako. I envision some type of confession from Kazehaya where he tells Sawako he likes her (or at least beats around the bush about not being sure whether or not he should go out with Kurumi), Sawako, looking down, tells him that she and Sawako would be perfect together, not wanting to ruin her friendship with Kurumi.

Hopefully though, it will have a bitchier slant on it. Kurumi seems like she could do that and make it more entertaining for me. I'm anxious to see where this goes.

Although I imagined something sort of like this when I read the manga, because like you I thought Sawako was too nice to do anything but help Kurumi, I think we underestimate Sawako's sense of being true to herself. You have to have some real inner strength to go so long without the support of having friends after all.

Aside from the fact that you seem to be speaking from a place of knowledge of events to happen in the future, I'll just say that based off of what we've seen, she doesn't have a lot of inner strength since she doesn't stand up for herself. On the contrary, I think it takes a staggering amount of weakness (namely docility) to go so long without having any friends ever. She's gained some self-confidence after defending Yano and Yoshida, but that hasn't really transferred to the way she looks at herself yet (from my perspective). I'd welcome development on that front, and, as I said seeing it turn to something cattier and aggressive, but that doesn't seem like Sawako's personality.

A little Mean Girls in this show would be fun.

That's what i see happening as well, hopefully kurumi is gonna add some drama to the mix which usually equals entertainment(at least for me).

I think you're confusing "inner strength" with independence. Until recently, all she's ever done was rely on herself to get by, emotionally and physically. If Sawako had this so-called inner strength, then she wouldn't be so heavily affected when someone praises/complements her.

I'm a bandwagon whore

It was other cute episode, and I totally loved this series. I loved the teleportation and haircut part and how Yano messes with Kazehaya as always. It’s nice introduction for Kurumi who met Sawako, and now I wonder what she plans with Sawako. I am sure that next episode probably is not good one because of Kurumi, but I really hope Kurumi and Sawako are good friends.

Ok am probably the only one but am gonna say it. Sawako is starting to get on my nerves!!
There is a limit on how cute and naive can reach before becoming lame and Sawako is touching that limit for some time now.
For the love of God woman quit making faces like God came down to earth and talked to you just by meeting someone or talking to him/her. Really she acts like she was closed in a dark room from the day she was born and they let her out a few days ago.
I also hate the stupid reaction of the people around her. Everyone stops playing to praise her for a nice kick or whatever else she gets right. How unnatural is that. Like she's everyones little cancer suffering sister or the class retarded kid that the teacher said to treat nice.


Go Kurumi!!!!! Get your man. Why the heck does she have to care if Sawako likes him?
O! yeah lets not hurt our little shy,angel,honey,flower,perfume,cotton candy,silk,fluffy cloud made girl. Ahh! i think am gone puke from too much sugar.

And in the end everyones opinion is because the story is being seen threw Sawako eyes. What if we were watching it differently? Threw the eyes of a girl that loved a boy since she was a child and now found the courage to approach him but she is in a different class and discovers that a new strange girl in his classroom has some strange effect on him and everyone else for that matter. Yeah! am talking about Kurumi.

Also, I think there's something fishy going on between Kurumi and Sawako. I mean how did they become friends that fast? Kurumi probably wants something from Sawako.

Plus, Kurumi is cute and hot, yeah, but Kazehaya likes ordinary plain girls, so F U Kurumi. :>
