Those eyes, THOSE EYES! Did you see that girl 3 seat behind Yuuto? *shudder*

ehhhh she didn't become an idol... personally, I think they killed the problem too quickly. Now I have no idea what they have in store on the last week. If they don't show a kiss on the lips on the next episode, then I'm going to be even more disappoint.

HARUKA, DAI SUKI!!
YUUTO-SAN, ATASHI MO!!
...no wait, that didn't happen. Funny thing is, they've said basically everything BUT that.

Bleh. Drama overkill, but meh. And who knew Yuuto was strong enough to push over four people huh?

The drama was so moving! I cried damn it! Yuuto was so manly that Kamina was like the exact opposite of Yuuto. The dude pushed away four men! Shit man, he's unstoppable! YuutoXHaruka forever!

What a piece of shit.

As humiliating as mud wrestling on TV might be, I would've let Gentou sliced those 2 on the spot.

If not for Gentou, Shiina and Milan, this episode would've been unwatchable.

It's so frustrating now....I seriously thought Yuuto was going to say "I love you"...but it didn't happen. The most we get is a hug. Also, I can't believe the normally weak Yuuto pushed back 4 security guards.

I think Haruka's dad was great this episode though.

I really hope something good happens next week.

Well, many of you got your wishes, and the idol arc ended one episode early.

MUCH better from them this episode, judging from a horrible 5-6 episodes in a row. I think the father was prolly the reason this episode turned up better.Predictable, but at least it's semi-heartwarming.

At first it was unbelievable that Yuuto was so stupid and shocked at Yayoi being so imposing at him with her "Stay away" from Haruka demands along with Nozomi. As the Yuuto grew depressed I though he really is weak until his friends came to help (even Shiina of all people) him with Milan being the best in this episode. Gentou was incredible too with his sudden appearance and sword. They did a very good music/scene mix. I was also surprised at the sudden headquarter of the Nogizakas. The lesson that Yayoi and Nozomi got was great and the mud wrestling for them with Gentou buying all of their office/assets was another best of this episode.Milan's Valentine's concert was great! Her words were great and very morally convincing, it reminded me of myself with my farming decision to let someone else go to University in my other brothers. Milan's dress was great and cute....loved it and find her best in it=>I found Yuuto pathetic here at first with his "leave me alone" only exception is that to me he is just sensitive man.
My impression changed of him when he pushed those guards out of his way...so manly thing that was, it was enough for me to change thinking.
Gentou's appearance twice with the music and way it was shown was perfect...looked like "Emperor Gentou is coming" thing.
I also though the flahsbacks of Haruka from Yuuto's mind gived a good memory back of season 1 and it was very nice in a artistic way to me especially here=>
Overall Milan' best in this episode and concert was lovable!

I agree with you but his pushing guards to admit to Haruka his feelings shows me man traits....if a guy did that for you....would you not be impressed that he went to better effort if he never did that to you, desolato?

Wow, an episode WITHOUT ecchi moments?! Clearly the best episode of the season for me. Yes, this was cliche, but I rather have this than a whole bunch of pointless fanservice episodes (referring to the first few episodes). Also, I still stand by my belief that this arc is more creative than the blondie arc of first season.

Gotta love Gentou :)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Wow, when did Yuto get so strong? I never expected him to take down all them body guards.

I actually quite liked this episode, all the Gendo references with Beethoven Symphony No. 9 playing were hilarious, (That's the second reference i've seen for Gendo, the first being Gintama. Does anyone else notice Fumihiko voices alot of characters with brown hair and glasses?), and overall it wasn't a half bad episode.

Liked it. Didn't love it.

Predictions for episode 12 (final):
- No quasi-confessions (e.g. "Yuuto-san, I... I... I want to stay by your side forever." ... no.) Expect an actual confession of an "I love you" from both parties (being Yuuto and Haruka)*
- Sorry, Shiina! Unless they wanna piss a lot of people off, Shiina x Yuuto is going bye-bye, if it hasn't already already.
- White Day. With the chocolate thing seemingly thrown in at the last second, expect episode 12 to take place on White Day. Basically the perfect set-up for a confession. Don't eff this up, creators.
- Affirmative action. Yuuto will be the most-daring he's been since the rainbow eel interrupted their legit first kiss.

*If there is no: "I love you," expect a third season. The 1st season sold well and this one will probably do well, too. So don't be completely disappointed, just extremely disappointed, that we might have to wait 1-2 more years for three words.

** However, if there is a confession, I wouldn't put it past them to pull a Itazura na Kiss' latter portion of episodes. Basically, a few shows, (maybe even a season?) that is devoted to their romance-after-confession. A nice little feel good to top it off would be more than pleasurable. Amirite? We all love the happy ending.

If in the next episode Yuuto doesn't singlehandedly destroy an army of mechs, a probability manipulator and a time-space flux unit in-command by Shiina to save that poor excuse for a female human who's intelligence is insulting, then this show flat-out sucks. Well... aside from the, "I lav you" and a uncensored french kiss.

Even if that is extremely random it would make up for the WHOLE series. Amiright?

I will parrot the opinion of many:

The NGE reference was perfect, just perfect, and one of the best things I've seen this season.

Unfortunately, not much else of note, unless you want to talk about the bad things.

This was a good episode, except it happened much too late and the drama leading up to it was awful, all except the nice Miran and Shiina encouragement.

Go Yuuto... He actually woke up in this episode with a little prodding.. Go Gento.. protect that little girl.. Yayoi and the other gal got what they got deserved... BTW.. did anyone notice that Yuuto has caught on to the Maids and Mika on their listening into what happens between Haruka and Yuuto? ;) Him hugging her is a step in the right direction too. :D --- Randy

Wow, Yuuto finally grew some balls. Corny ep, like most of them, but it was cute. Yayoi and the other chick, whatever her name was, wrestling at the end was pretty funny.

We had better get a kiss in the last ep (without an eel).

Took him long enough to realize how much Haruka meant to him. Given how he was - quite literally- on top of her in last season, you'd expect him to not doubt his feelings later on. And it took a lot of pushing from all sides (even Shiina, who I think has pretty much given up on him) to get him to man up and claim his girl.

I do hope the next episode shows us something worthwhile. And by that, I mean an actual kiss on the lips or preferably even more.

But on the bright side, at least he's learned when Mika and the maids are eavesdropping. Apparently, privacy is something they never heard of.

Well said. Other than that what's up with playing Ode to Joy this season? Both Nogizaka and Kämpfer played it in episode 11... Overall painful episode to watch as the rest of this season. Might raise the show to 4/10 depending on how it ends.
