City slickers go up north into the cold... I've seen that around here from time-to-time. Poor Hime-chan wanted Saku to warm her up so badly... <g>

Another nice, unpretentious episode.

I liked the photon cannon, but I was a little bored with the general setup of this episode - it felt like they spent too long on minor romantic angst.

Mihoshi at the ending was hilarious: "Rival! Rival!" I love both girls, though I was kind annoyed with Hime in this episode for being ridiculous about her clothes. Ooyagi doesn't even seem the type to care about clothes, I don't know what she was thinking.

Edogawa is one of the best comedy characters I've come across in anime.


I've been loving this series, but there hasn't been two many actual romantic developments so, second season please? :D

Oh, Mihoshi! <3

I definitely like the development of the Mihoshi x Hime friendship/rivalry. From last episode's preview, I thought Saku would be the hero but I'm glad it turned out this way. However, the content in this episode could have been shortened to half so we can see more of the story. They spent way too much time on Hime and her clothes. Her pride ticked me off but Hime is still cute.

Next episode is a wrap. Hope to see subs soon. A 2nd season gets my vote.

It's been enjoyable, but I haven't gotten the impression that anything has really happened, plotwise. The characters are only sorting out their feelings without actually progressing with one another.

I'd be down for a season 2

This episode would've been better if Hime had died, what a stupid bitch. I have no sympathy for idiots.

On the other hand, Edogawa rules. :D

Overdramatic scenes filled with humor so it didn't feel dramatic at all, and just because of the clothes :/

exactly this. It was really overdramatic, there was no real point to the drama in the end, the comedy was lame and not even slightly funny. Haven't enjoyed the past 2 episodes of this show at all 'sigh'. Wonder if they will conclude a romance in the next ep. But if they do it will be Mihoshi which SUCKS :(.

You pretty much summed up what I wanted to say. Another solid episode for the best comedy romance anime of the year (aside from Natsu no Arashi!). Very nice.

I actually think that Mii-chan knew that Hime was talking about Saku, and she noticed that she was uncomfortable, and just switched the rival subject to stargazing, since she didn't want Hime to feel bad / Awkward.

Let's see now then, how this episode turns out, even though I'm really late : D

Hmm I wonder.. Will Hime get lost?
What a.. surprise xD.
Oh look, another surprise! The clouds cleared up xD
Anyway, apart from a few of the obvious things, Hime-chan and Mihoshi had a pretty good talk : > Except for Mihoshi being an airhead and not getting what Hime was talking about x)
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Edogawa is a motherfucking pimp. The only reason this show is a masterpiece is because of him. Edogawa = the best character ever.

0.o pretty sure telescopes definitely don't work like that... also not exactly sure if you could classify probably a 30-60 minute blizzard as an extremely strong blizzard. Sadly this episode also confirmed that their probably won't be any kind of progress at the end but oh well.

Guys, wat



The way they recreated snow, it was unbelievably realistic. It was amazing how they made it really feel like her death was coming near (they really know their natural physics). But of course that shit won't happen I mean come on. Hime HAS to be part of Sora no Manimani, otherwise, it's not Sora no Manimani. It'd be Chuu no Manimani or Hiroshi no Manimani, and there ent no fkn Hiroshi in this show.

Seriously.. facepalm Mii-chan.
Hime-chan I feel your heart.. she'll never understand.
So much drama.. but I wouldn't really think this fits as a romance genre to me.
There's almost no development at all.. just love interest and that's about it.
I wonder why am I shipping for couples when I know there won't be a conclusion lol.
But still Saku x Hime-chan woohoo. Not bad for a school comedy slice of life.

That was reckless Hime. This is why you pack extra layers for winter trips.

And in the end Hime and Mihoshi were just a few ft from the lodge.

Didn't like the attempts at comedy during that serious situation.
Also, no way the romance can wrap up in one episode.

-It doesn't seem like Sayo and Mihoshi dressed any warmer than Saku and Edogawa
-The snowscapes are pretty nice to look at
-Looks like the all girls' school students are pretty disillusioned about the co-ed ones
-I... don't understand what Edogawa was trying to do there in the scene right before they built the snow sculptures
-Do convenience stores in Japan actually sell underwear
-The news report that Roma was watching made me think that another Toradora ski resort scene would happen or something
-Did they not check the weather report before going on the trip or something?
-Yeah I'm not too interested in this show anymore if they're gonna do this stuff every episode and ignore what made the first few episodes so great
-The scene of Edogawa being rudely awakened from the nap was at least something decent that came out of it, but it killed the mood and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take the disappearance seriously at that point
-Oh, that hallucination was pretty harsh
-The scene where Mihoshi finds Hime was more in-line with how things were at the beginning of the series
-I'm pretty sure light travels a lot faster than the human eye can track, and even then there wasn't anything in the air to reflect off of when they were shooting the camera flash through the telescope. Basically they shouldn't have been able to see that flashes as streaks through the sky after the storm was over.
-Come to think of it why didn't they call a rescue team
-Alright, Mihoshi misinterpreting what being a rival to Hime meant was pretty reminiscent of the early episodes.

The part of the episode where Hime goes missing felt really out of place and I did not like her monologues during that part that much.

This anime effortlessly sets an atmosphere or mood whenever it feels like. There are many other series that I think try this as well, but they seem jarringly erratic in contrast. Was also nice to see Hime and Mihoshi having some more friendly moments with each other, even if Mihoshi characteristically misunderstood what Hime meant by "rivals".

Nice for Hime-chan to get saved by... but that rolling was rather cute.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
