THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well that was a good continuation and I was a little baffled by this one year thing in Germany but it was fascinating the way it was shown like it is in the past.

In fact the whole episode was Minami eccentric. I have to agree with her in the following,

Akihisa is stupid enough to be like that sometimes. It was a hilarious part none the less because I was under the impression that Minami truly has language problems.

Akihisa got me ROFL at the following,

That shirt so does not go well with him but he does not look that bad in it.

I found hilarious that Minami though Hideyoshi was really a girl at first.

  • Wow, I was totally surprised by the spoiler
    Minami knows French and went to Paris! O_O I would never have known or at least don’t remember her mentioning that much.

  • The following part in the spoiler
    was so EF A Tales of Memories like. The chains! The scenery changing, so EF nostalgic.

  • Did someone die? Based on the following spoiler
    Because there is a white flower there so I wonder.
Best of best is when Minami is writing in French and translating it into English with all her efforts. Her tears were very emotional at that part. You can see how much efforts she puts into it just to be friends with Akihisa. She really got me emotional on this one.

On the other hand Himeji is starting to lose big time with this episode and at this rate I might even forget her. I don’t want that! Waaah! Himeji needs her own part in regards to Akihisa but before that they should do her kiss next episode then next episode her start in liking Akihisa. More later.

BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler
the one of Minami on the bed is hot once as a whole. Totally nice dress there too.

Really disappointed that it didn't show what happened after the kiss. Instead, it was a flashback episode. *Sigh* I guess I'll have to wait another 7 days to see what REALLY happened... Damn.

That was kinda cute. I'm guessing the next ep will be about the friendship thing, except Minami totally screws up and this flashback will continue :(. Noooooooos! I want my continuation of the kiss!

Flashback eps in this genre of anime aren't my kind of thing, belongs in a recap special, this is ok but I rather have a totally new episode with the kiss continuation and Himeji's full reaction.

It's perhaps because of the recent Eva movie announcement, but Minami is starting to remind me of Asuka...like both of them are so "fluent" in German. XD

Btw, I liked how Oonuma Shin used so many visual techniques from the experience of directing the ef series. I think Shinbo Akiyuki would be proud of him.

I lold when Hideyoshi entered and Minami was already questioning why Hideyoshi isn't wearing a skirt and Voyage told Minami to forget what she saw.
I looked forward to this episode to show what happened after the kiss. I am disappoint.
It was pretty heartwarming in the end tho, after Minami figured our that Yoshi was not speaking in Japanese but in French to become friends with Minami.

Definitely the best episode of the season. I thought they did a great job throwing this flashback episode of Minami's life right after the kiss. It really explains why Minami has this one-sided love for Yoshii, and I can really feel for her. English wasn't my first language, and I remembered how hard it was for me to attend school in a totally different country that spoke a totally different language many years ago.

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

Official Minami Supporter as of 8/27/2011

This was by far one of the best episodes from this series, I felt so sad for Minami and her struggles to fit in a place where she can't even communicate with everyone else.

It all makes sense now.....she's not blindly in love with Akihisa, she's not some cliche tsundere, she has a very good reason and I can't believe I'm saying this but, I fully support her all the way after these last two episodes.

Before I was always leaning on Mizuki (probably because of the tits), but Mianami's story was really great, and I've always loved her looks and personality.


ALL HAIL MINAMI!

I should have gotten informed more but in a precise way is what I wanted to mention as well apart from what I said and yes of course Shinbo Akiyuki would be proud of him. In fact he did good with the insertions of those parts.

Good for you! I was always trying to go with the neutral between the 2 but now with Minami's back story we seriously need Himeji's for a comparing. It could far more dramatic because she has a weak physical complex. That's the problem with me going for the Yoshii x Minami. Who the fuck is going to take care of her better than Yoshii? I don't see anyone else for that matter.

Therefore will Himeji break up with Minami and be a killer or....? I don't know how it will be handles but I have a feeling things will get complicated. There must be a compromise or Himeji will, lost her mind pretty much.

Tu ne voudrais pas devenir mon amie = Don't you want to become my friend, NOT: Could you become my friend. Pouvoir would have been the verb for what the subs said in the form of pourrais, although vouloir makes more sense. Akihisa >Shimada!

Love the Minami backstory, although I would've preferred them to have just continued from where they left off(they probably will in the next 1-2 eps).

Highlight of the episode: "What a shit man you are!"

Irony: Minami's English isn't exactly very good, despite having stayed overseas prior to the events of BakaTest S1.

Other than that, this episode was both touching and hilarious, and I especially enjoyed watching Minami breaking her language barriers to befriend Yoshii. ^_^

*(Poor Hideyoshi; He never has been given a break with matters regarding his sex, eh?)

T_T I just realised one thing which made me feel depressed: Shouko made a very small cameo appearance.

Wow... I would've never expected a flashback episode. After watching though I'm really glad they did. I think it brought Minami into a whole new light for us. It isn't always about the laughs. Understanding the root of what triggered Minami's blooming affection towards Akihisa and the chemistry between them presently gives her more dimension as a character. I thought this as a whole was sweet and very touching.
"Could you become my friend?"
Somehow this show managed to turn a cliché phrase into a very sincere moment of extending friendship. I hope we get to see more of the other characters pasts as I really enjoyed this one.
...Although, I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see the result of her kiss. -__- *sigh

And as usual, this is hilarious.
Mentioning all the lulzy stuff would take a page or something, so I won't.
See, this episode was completely devoid of Himeji, and it was like the best episode evar.
More of this, kthnx.

I'd prefer it if we got longer episodes than like, 5min. ( ¬‿¬) That's how short these episodes feel.

It's going to be very interesting to see how Mizuki reacts to the kiss....I'm looking forward to next week!

Also, I've always been the type of person that like MONOGAMOUS relationships in anime....therefore I can only pick ONE girl, in Baka to Test I was always in the middle...UNTIL THIS EPISODE.

I still like Mizuki, but I'm supporting Minami from now on...

It's a GOOD thing when you feel that the episode is short....that means you enjoy it so much that time seems to fly by.....Remember "time flies when you're having fun".

But imagine this much fun that lasts longer. Like, an hour, or something.

Well, it's better to explain why Minami has feelings for Akihisa.

I totally understands the feeling of getting isolated when you can't speak the common language that people are using, especially when you shifted to a new environment.

This was a nice look into Minami's background~
It's true that moving from one country to another can be really stressful :x and lol copying shimizu probably wasn't the best way to get some peace

Still, why do they have to end on another cliffhanger? I want to know what she said at the end!!! >.<

At the very least, the next episode's title means that it should be (finally) continuing from episode 7! can't wait ^^
