So Amamiya transfers to school and a love triangle? Hmmmm, there is now way Nogizaka will lose to her! Amamiya did get popular pretty fast though and the fact Yuuto with Nogizaka is helping her might add to being off guard. If she betrays this is going to get messy. LOL at the accident with Mika and Yuuto at the pool. It was more meant for ecchiness but damn she is a brat! To stick to Yuuto like that after the accident, yarashi! LOL. That muscle cramp was bad but Yuuto was stupid not to tell her that to overdoing it in the beginning cause that is exactly what happens. I am surprised Nogizaka is world piano known? The sensei seriously reminds of Mitsuka sensei from DearS cause she acts being pervert even with no Alcohol. LOL at sudden appearance of everyone at the pool! Even BBQ? Amamiya better realize the seriousness of Yuuto and Nogizaka but Shiima might push Nogizaka to go further in the relation with Yuuto so Amamiya might make them progress further. #6 will be the big anime convention? Let's hope the MOE meters does not break.

I couldn't find this with subs... so I watched it raw. Judging by the animation and my limited knowledge of the Japanese language, this episode was ok. The previous ones were better, though.

There was too much gratuitous fanservice in this episode, and I'm not really a fan of Amamiya. I don't like it when girls fall in love with a guy who has seen her naked (or almost naked); I just think it's stupid.

Oh well, that's ok. I still have high hopes for this anime. The Natsucomi should be interesting.

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

Now I just saw the subbed version. I changed my opinion of Nogizaka to crazy! She won the competition in piano on a international level twice in a row???? That demands a lot! Her popularity might get crazier. Nogizaka seems to have more talents that are more grandiose than I even though of. Love triangle is definetely born from what Amamiya says at the end but NOGIZAKA WILL NOT LOSE TO HER!

So Shiina has finally been properly introduced, and she's now on Yuuto's class. The love triangle has finally been created, though I wonder how it will play, since Haruka doesn't seem to be the jealous type (though she did showed some sort of reaction, when the remembered the rescue scene), so lets hope they make it interesting ^^

That's not really a love triangle if you look at the first episodes and the opening, just unrequited love from Shiina's part and true relationship between Yuuto and Haruka.

Well, this episode was a bit weaker than the first four, it was just free fan service all along and not a lot of interesting situations or character development (which tends to happen often when new characters are introduced in comedy shows, except for Seto no Hanayome or Lucky Star, but they are above average shows). I'm quite disapponited by the way the series is handled since episode 3, I hope it gets less redundant and more original in the next few episodes.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Lol, well, imo, love triangles are so common in romantic animes nowadays, that I'm kind of glad we've got an anime where a love triangle won't happen... at least, that's what it looks like right now. Who knows? Maybe they'll form a love triangle somehow.

I think I saw a bit of Initial D or [generic racing anime] when they left off in the limo.

Shiina turned out to be not even near as awesome as I thought she would be, big deception for me there.

Yeah I agreed they tried to do it again with the Initial D just like in "They Are My Noble Masters" episode 3. I liked and who knew Nanami being a racer girl. O_o

The new girl has two advantages over Haruka:
1) She is less shy.
2) She is slightly more in touch with common culture and psychology.

Haruka was extremely innocent when her brat sister said the boy should walk the girl home. Apparently she's either too high-minded or too repressed to consider that her man might two-time her.

I was thankful that they didn't resort to a Zero-no-Tsukaima style improbable coincidence to get the boy and new girl into a compromising position just in time to get caught.

This episode was great once again, but episode 3 is still the best one..
Shiina is a great character, and she likes(/loves?) Yuuto very much, so yeah, I can see some sort of love triangle going to happen here..
It will stay Yuuto x Haruka tho..

Rather boring episode.

Without any doubt very weak compared to the first 4.

Only one awesome scene and another entertaining one. The rest was totally generic and cheesy.

I was really disappointed this time, because it was so good so far.

Yuuto's a player alright.

ahaha, Yuuto is a good player

so... everytime they showed shiina's thigh, i knew they were gonna cramp it. why? well, it just seemed too cliche.... and well.. they did it.. but... i don't really mind, every anime nowadays has cliche in it.
it seems like this time, yuuto got to see the back part of the panties he saw two times already.

gotta admit... shiina is rather cute. pros = not airheaded, really playful? xD
so... nogizaka is known worldly as the best piano player.... i wonder what this is going to cause.

Teacher's fanservice = wow
Maids and Mika in the pool = win
sister BBQing and getting drunk = interesting
yuuto and 7 girls in a pool... would you say he is lucky?
Mika's accident... i kind of like her character... playing with yuuto so much xD
Nogizaka's denseness is really out of this planet...
... Shiina must be really confident on yuuto to let him be there when she was just changing xD
but to let all those people in... i wonder if they knew xD

crazy driver maid = win, ueda kana's voice really suits her xD
so, nogizaka finally realized what yuuto being so worried meant... i wonder if she is still going to be so dense after that... but i gotta say, yuuto's player move there was a good one =P

next epi, finally summer comiket... maybe we will see konata and anime kaichou!!!

I don't see this being a love triangle. Anytime Shiina's dropped hints that "this might become something more" Yuuto kind of shrugs it off or avoids the situation entirely. Where as anytime Haruka tries to convey her feelings, Yuuto picks it up right away and tries to convey the same type of feelings to her. So I think if it stays like this there wont be a love triangle. He's practically already confessed his love to Haruka in the first few eps by saying he will always be with her..etc.

Shiina will probably slowly figure this out once she starts to notice how close Yuuto and Haruka are and how they do basically everything with each other.

On a side note....does the school know Haruka is an otaku nut? She did confess it when they all thought it was Yuuto right? Everyone seems to not even care haha. so the point of this show kind of died.

Or maybe it is a secret weapon Shiina might use to get a revenge??? This is something that might lurk in the shadows and blow up sometime. Would not that surprise you??

I think there's gonna be a big twist in one of the next episodes..
Shiina will get jealous and will say something about Haruka, maybe the otaku stuff..

But yeah, everyone doesn't mind Haruka is an otaku because she's so amazing and cute and moe.. They only care about how she looks and how she plays the piano..

I don't know whats going to follow, but I think it'll be interesting :)..

I still cant see Yuuto falling in love with Shiina. But it would be pretty amazing if she did pull something from the shadows haha.

One thing that comes to mind is maybe shes an Otaku too since she always seems to be in the same conventions that Haruka and Yuuto go too. Or maybe shes a secret idol or voice actor for the anime show Haruka loves XD.

I got the impression that she was already picking up on it and that was why she wasn't being more aggressive about her feelings towards Yuuto.

I agree with everything you said though i don't think she's an otaku i think she's some type of idol or mangaka or seiyu..In a perfect world Shiina would trample Haruka lol Shiina FTW naive and oblivious to everything going around them people annoy the crap out of me so for me it's Shiina hands down.

As far as the episode VERY predictable but it didn't take away from the enjoyment for me. Very laid back and nice. I also like the fact that Yuuto isn't your generic retarded male lead. He caught on to what haruka was feeling before i think she did and quickly said the perfect words to comfort her. He rocks so 5 points for him.

???

Do you even know what the terms mean? Haruka is an otaku because she loves anime and manga and stuff. An idol is like a model and a seiyuu is a voice actor o_o She might be an idol in the eyes of her school, sure, but she definitely isn't a voice actor.

But yes; this anime is too predictable and boring for my liking. It started getting interesting(uh, sort of) with episode 6, but it just isn't interesting enough to hold my focus. Shiina > Haruka definitely, but it won't happen. The OP tells us that much already and it means the love triangle isn't really going to be interesting. We know Yuuto will end up with Haruka; the show is named after her, for god's sakes.

I'm dropping it. Wasted three hours of my life.

Too much fanservice. Shiina is probably a seiyuu or something and it's just a one-sided love. I don't want a "Nice Boat" ending for this. Yuuto seems to know better than being just a playboy. Looking forward to Natsucomi. Weak episode is weak.
