That screenplay is starting to sound interesting to me, too.

And is Arima jealous? That's right. This is a new wrinkle in the relationship.

I'd say the screenplay part near the end was actually the best part of the entire episode.

Also, "Edmond! Edmond Dantes!" got a laugh out of me.

I don't think he will be able to control his hormones at this rate...

I wouldn't mind seeing another couple form.
The romantic moments are always so sweet.

Nice episode, seems these last couple episodes will be around this new character, which could be interesting if done right! Lets see what happens next!

I'm done with this show. Only thing that's keeping me going is the interesting development between the side characters, takafumi and sakura. Say bye bye to the creative ending videos too. Now it's only flashbacks of the current episode lol.

Arima's jealousy is so unwarranted. He F'ed her in the pussy like a week ago, taking her virginity, and he's jealous because she is chatting with a friend casually.... jesus Christ man... have faith in your girl from the start; it's not like he's ever had a girl cheated on him before...............

By now I don't care much about the main couple. Would like to see the play.

I feel as if Arima is being slightly childish in the way he goes about the relationship. He acts like if his emotions aren't the full focus of the relationship, then there's a problem. Have you guys noticed that? Hell, half of the time Yukino is the one worrying about him, and not the other way around. Overall, the relationship isn't as healthy as the director makes it out to be.

I don't really see the show going significantly downside since Anno's departure, to be honest. Aside from a couple of strange shots (like with the kids playing which was out of place) and the lack of creative live-action endings, Kare Kano is as fun as ever, and I love that side characters (Aya and Sakura) get more screentime too. I wonder if Rika is going to get some mini-arc too!

I second that, the only things which suffered are the endings. Although I wish Tsubasa and her bro would get some screen time as well, it's a shame her character is back to loli/sugarholic/comic relief role. Takefumi is a great addition overall.

This seems like it's going to go the route of Masamune-kun's Revenge where the guy worked himself to the bone to improve himself and shed his old identity to weave his old tormentor into a pretty trap only to fall for her before he can pull it off.

Enjoy this while it lasts. I'm scared of how the final episodes turn out. And what happened to the live action credits?

nooooooooo Tsubaki almost made the question and then dropped out. Revenge? Wouldn't be surprised if it will turn into something else.

Damn, I feel hella bad for Arima, both as a person and as a character. He's consistently been one of the most complex characters, but now it really feels like he's taking a backseat, both in the story and in Miyazawa's life.

It's pretty obvious that he and Miyazawa aren't on the same page anymore, mostly due to her getting a lot of friends. However, she still feels really close to him, but he feels driven away. Sad shit man.

I seriously doubt this anime will have a proper conclusion, which is incredibly depressing because the story is an absolute banger.

Show feels like it's running out of steam at this point, the new character and the level of focus placed on him has broken the flow of the story in favor of something a lot less interesting.

The drama at this point is just unnecessary bloat. They should've focused on comedy near the end.
