Mondays 11.30pm JST.
Not even midnight lolwut.
wiki:
--> AT-X is also known for showing uncensored versions of several anime like "Fight Ippatsu! Jūden-chan!!", "Amaenaideyo!!" and "Girls Bravo", which would normally get censored on TV-stations like TV-Tokyo because of the large amount of nudity.
DuroDeMatar said: Is it necessary to show the sex scene all the times?
No but I don't think Aki-Sora's director will yield to that at all.
DuroDeMatar said: Well, at least it was less than Kazuha...
That was exactly what made me happy although it looks more intense with stuff like the GIF in the first page shows.

I was thinking about that but not sure about miss anything, not sure at all yet.
HAHA CURSE HIM! xDD
but don't you think the series is a bit rush?? I think it will finish on the 12th or 13th..
I can't wait for the twincest too..
Yeah it's way too rushed. I wonder more about if it will be Kozue or Yahiro in the omake. Pretty sure Motoka ended her omakes in this one.
It will be Nao's omake on the next episode :D.. I'm predicting another sex scene on episode 8 xDD..
I am not sure about this because the episode will have her already and omakes are people who are not too much in the series that's why maybe Yahiro or or Kozue. They did not have much of major routes in the game anyways.
A little game comparison VS episode 5 and 6.
Where to start ... lets take it from the top.
First notable change is surrounding the pendant itself (aside from there being no name engraved in it) - in anime they showed the pendant had been found and returned to Kazuha's mother, but in the VN it was found by Akira and Haru (In the same way how they lost it - by playing around the hill, tripping, and having a merry roll down the slope, and ending up in the same location as they did years ago in a similar incident, which is where they found the pendant. There is no landslide in the game to confuse the scenery). In a way, this was the event which triggered everything that happened afterwards, as Haruka was puzzled about Akira not being happy about having the pendant again, while he expected her to be overjoyed.
Second big change would be the whole notebook incident i guess - originally Haru didn't sneak in to her home to catch her reading it, he noticed the notebook during a simple visit (it was left on the table, apparently where Akira had been reading it earlier), and managed to gloss over it while Akira was preparing some drinks for them. Likewise, Akira didn't try to burn the notebook when she caught Haru reading it. Her attempt to break up with Haru was anime original as well.
Unless my memory fails me, the contents of the notebook were more expanded (and the situation more confused) as well, but this is to be expected. As far as i recall, both mothers and the babies were delivered to the hospital after the childbirth (as Haruka's grandma had feared of the two catching a fever due to the storm raging outside and the fact both were brought in during the storm), and more importantly - the pendant had already been torn off before the transfer, by "Kazuha". During their transfer to the hospital though, both babies had their name tags torn off in confusion, so there was little "real" way to tell them apart, aside from relying on the words of the mothers that they recognize their own child.
The DNA test confirmed the same thing in the end - that Kazuha is indeed her mother's daughter (Akira's part of the test result was burnt though, more on this later), but the question remains - why did Akira end up having the pendant ? Kazuha's mother was no less shocked about this when Akira came to return the pendant - after all it had been torn off by 'her' daughter, and she simply thought it lost during the confusion and mulling about that involved her and Akira's mother being transported to the hospital during a stormy night. So why did Akira have it ? That we will never know, but the end result is much the same - Kazuha's mother sort of reconciles with Akira, and gives her the pendant. (This happened when Akira and Kazuha encountered Kazuha's mother on the road by chance, they never went to her house to have a talk).
One thing was completely left out of the anime, which is a real shame if you ask me - Akira's and Sora's friendship. They sort of "cut off" this development when they had Kazuha sew the buttons on Sora's uniform, while originally Akira did it - by abducting a very confused and distraught Sora together with the uniform and disappearing in to Sora's room with both, leaving a worried Haru behind Long story short, Akira ended up befriending Sora over time in a typical Akira fashion - even Sora's negativity couldn't stand up to Akira's bubbling friendliness it seems.
It was quite amusing when Haru started dating Akira and was worried about breaking the news to his friends, especially Sora, but Sora had no problems accepting their relationship. It might not sound like much, but knowing how clingy and afraid of abandonment Sora typically is, having her say "If it's Akira, its fine", was a pretty big step in showing how far Sora has come. She even proposed that Akira moves in with them at one point (Because she makes better food than Haru, obviously ). I understand they really didn't have time in the anime to develop the Akira-Sora dynamic, but it's a shame they had to cut it.
Sora also played a part in how the events involving the DNA test played out - originally Haru and Kazuha hadn't told anyone about it (but Sora seemed suspicious about something), so when the letter arrived, she took it and went to Akira's place, where the two proceeded to burn the notebook, and would have burned the test results as well (As Sora said, "a thing like this should just burn"), if not for Haru and Kazuha showing up and Haru pulling the test out of fire at the last second.
And of course, we missed out on the comedic finish, with Akira and Haru taking a few day trip to Haru's home city, taking place in Yahiro's shop, which went something like this (my memory is kinda hazy)
Yahiro *over phone* "Haruka, you two are returning today, right ? Tomorrow ?! What do you mean tomorrow! Come home! Now!
Sora *Behind her back, on Yahiro's PC* "internet ...."
Yahiro "Oi! Don't touch that without permission!"
Haru "..............."
Sora *click* *click*
Yahiro "Oi, don't open folders without permission!" *to Haruka* "How have you been raising your sister ??"
Sora "... what's this .... blog ...?"
Yahiro "Gha! Close it! ... How much did you see!?"
Sora "...this blog is amusing"
Yahiro "At least bring your own laptop if you want to use the net!"
Sora "... too troublesome"
Yahiro ".... Haruka, you are quite amazing for enduring this fellow every day..."
Sora "...noisy"
So .. yeah, poor Yahiro
I am sure there are other changes i forgot, it's a shame the Akira/Sora bits had to be sacrificed as result though. Ah well.)

ClementIV said: It was an interesting episode since they introduced that, but I feel like it lacked something. Overall this arc had a little more drama and interesting story behind it than the previous one so I give it a 3/5.
Now we finally get into i hope will be the more interesting ones. I'll be looking forward to next week's episode.
Also nice way of "speezing" LOL. But why didn't Sora act up?
Sora doesn't act up because she actually doesn't mind Akira all that much. In Kazuha's arc, they practically got along just fine when Haruka/Kazuha were doing their own thing.
I actually quite liked the whole story about Kazuha and Akira's parents. We finally got to know everything about Akira and who her real mother is. The drama was quite ok. And of course we need a sex scene which makes it all complete right? =P
Next up is Nao's arc, which I'm not all that hyped for but meh, we'll see. Kozue arc fucking where?! >.<
Is everyone going to continually comment on the "unnecessary sex scene" after each arc? It's going to be there since that is sort of part of the show. Also, if one sex scene distracts you from the rest of the story (Are you repulsed by sex?) then skip it.
Yumekichi11 said: Good question, how can you give a hug on the phone??
I thought she was talking about phone sex. O_o
Glad Kazu-chan's mother admitted to being a bitch!
Can't wait for the next ep!
Why does Nao looks just as old as the maid? And she's REALLY overdeveloped when you compare her to the rest of the girls! LMAO!!
wow they really make these sex scenes as awkward a possible. Sex scenes are great and all, but the lead up to them is about a subtle as a frying pan to the face and horribly planned out.

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.

I very much agree.
I get glued to the monitor just for the story of each arc. This time I liked the more drama and more story of the character, which was not as much in the last arc.

bloodstainx said: Take Clannad for example. How would you feel if he banged everyone? wouldnt have the same effect now would it?
That made me laugh. I agree it ruins the attempt to be dramatic and emotional. There are shows that are made to be harems and have poor drama, but i think this one doesn't quite fit that category. However, since i don't watch hentai, yeah yeah i'm not lying =P, and since they get this through censors i think that it makes it stand out from the bunch that is for sure.
As for the actual episode, i thought the mix up was confusing, but thankfully the DNA test was negative so that didn't matter. I was still able to feel the emotion come through.
(Good 7/10)
bloodstainx said: this show really has some good drama, but why oh WHY do the creators want to add such pointless sex scenes into them. What they should have done was make sex scenes that show nothing ( falling on bed and lights dimming) it would have fit the series alot more. Instead we get pointless soft core porn. If i wanted to watch porn i would watch hentai. God what wasted potential. I understand that "Sex sells" , but a good dramatic anime also sells. Take Clannad for example. How would you feel if he banged everyone? wouldnt have the same effect now would it?
totally agree with this post except for the Clannad example. Clannad was NOT an eroge game. it was completely clean and for all ages. it's "sequel" Tomoyo After, however, was an eroge as well as Kanon and Air. just wanted to point that out.
anyways, yeah, this show was wasted potential. but i still enjoyed akira's arc minus the sex scenes. the conflict in kazuha's story was weak (if you can even call it a conflict) and i never liked kazuha's attitude as a main character. not looking forward to nao's arc because i never liked her either.

Lots of people said that for Aki-Sora too.

Me too TBH. Because of the way Japanese was formulated mugyuu to me sounded like the city hunter stuff of Mokori and so I though if you are not close to me kind of thing let's do it over the phone with most likely jerking would be the ideal thing.
VillettaIchihara said: Glad Kazu-chan's mother admitted to being a bitch!
Yeah but at least she remorses at least.
VillettaIchihara said: Why does Nao looks just as old as the maid? And she's REALLY overdeveloped when you compare her to the rest of the girls! LMAO!!
Yeah I will agree with you on this one she might be and the sex at a earlier age could be a cause to jump start her development.
-Kafka said: dont get it...first he was with migiwa and now with akira? without explanation?
There is 2. 1. Childhood friend and 2. The pendant story and Haruka feeling responsible partially for it.
Mony-Chan said: Wow, Akira likes it rough in doggy, huh?
Yeah the doggy style of that GIF. Brilliant idea for sure.
Inarius said: Akira handled Haru in bed like a pro....damn
Yeah compared to Haruka handling Kazuha like a pro. ROFL!

IF next episode is mainly Nao's and features little Sora, I think we can scratch the fact that episode 7 is gonna be an "arc-splitting episode" for them both. That would make the episode format more like:
Sora's arc will make more sense to roll back to episode 1 because of the implied sex scene finish =). Maybe when her arc starts it will be actual sex attempt rather than measuring her body. This means it'll be 1-10-11-12 =/.
But sex.... destroyed all the emotional feelings........ They should seriously consider about removing sex scenes (I can just grab a hentai for flapping.... :D)

Finally someone who worded exactly what I felt in regards to this whole Aki-Sora sex showing of this series.

The only one Sora really despises is Nao.
I see what you are saying but I think that it would be more interesting if she acted up. Also if we go by what happened in the first episode, she should at least show more emotion.
twonline said: But sex.... destroyed all the emotional feelings........ They should seriously consider about removing sex scenes (I can just grab a hentai for flapping.... :D)
I kinda agree, the sex just doesn't make sense for a cutsey person like Akira, I mean how do you go from hugging to doggy style???
It's like hitting a home run without having to round the bases...
Not to mention that if they're going to have a big emotional episode like this, to end it with sex scenes kinda ruins the moment and story.
This is why I said before, this anime is CLANNAD with Hentai thrown in it...
McRib said: Another excellent Christian approved episode. The lack of disgusting incest and only showing a consensual couple that is not related by blood have consensual sex without the demon's rubber is a great sight to see.
That made me laugh.
In all seriousness i agree with you on the incest but not from a religious point of view.
Incest just brings no good children born from incest often have some birth defects like having a weak body or worse.
And among twins this negative effects are even greater also considering Sora already has a rather weak body.
Also the public view against incest is very negative which would give the siblings lot's of trouble even if the pretend not to notice.
And let's be honest most of the people who where childishly yelling incest and twincest on the forums just want to see it because it's taboo and they want to see something shocking.
About condoms.
I don't want to risk getting a sexual transmitted disease or having a baby.
In other words i see more positive effects then negative effects when using a condom.

MAYBE, but not for me...
Sora is by far the best girl in this GOD-forsaken animu, I really don't care that they're twins, I just want to see Sora get nailed ;)
How could you not want to have sex with HER:
The TWINCEST is just an added bonus, kinda like YURI, if I want to see two HOT girls have sex, I don't care if it's with a guy or with themselves as long as they're doing it, again, it's just an added BONUS...
When I'm watching hentai or something like this, incest and yuri is a big fetish which I want to see because it's NOT the norm, at this point seeing a normal boy x girl couple is BORING and uninteresting, they need to do something to make it more appealing...

Oh I can agree with you on that one. Especially on titles such as Rape!!Rape!!Rape!! or Bible Black. Indeed it goes back to curiosity bites the cat and it sure bite us kittens more and more as the episodes progress but you might have some happenings of it soon since Nao arc has more Sora in it.

I agree with this too except that Hentai must be replaced with near borderline hentai. We are talking about the same director of Aki-Sora here.

Oh sure, why not add a Tyrannosaurus Rex nailling a girl next time we're at it too? Cuz straight couple is "BORING" and "uninteresting" amirite? Oh well, we're talking about hentai after all so maybe it's already done? Perhaps they even tap some born infant's ass too.... Yay? =/

A nice yuri scene would be great it doesn't mater to me wether Sora is involved in it or not tho.
And like you say there is a group that just want's to see Sora having sex and this doesn't mean it has to be incest.
Yet there appears to be a large group of people just watching to see incest, just because it's taboo or they have some weird fantasy about siblings.
What the hell! I thought that Akira was so... innocent! and she did not know that Haruka and Kazuho were ... ér ... how to say ... having romantic encounters? Seriously, I think I'll even stop to see YnS. Is so appealing ¬_¬
