seriously a bunny caused them to wreck? lmfao.

ridiculous (bakabakashi)

absolutely ridiculous

also the fact that the bike immediately burst into flames is also retarded... that doesn't happen at those speeds... and if they were going fast enough for it to happen then they would have died snow landing or no snow landing.

Creators are morons imo.

Still a good show even if it wont end how I wanted it to.

Bah, I'm seeing a Hiromi ending.
I still don't get Shin's mother's change of attitude.
I mean, if all she said was nothing but a lie, why was she acting like a bitch towards Hiromi in the beginning?
Something's up. I don't know.
I just hope it ends with ShinxNoe.

Seems like Noe is starting to back out herself. It looks like it's going to be a Hiromi end...still a few episodes left though. I'm glad nothing happened between Hiromi and Jun.

Noe realized Shin's heart is somewhere else and 'broke up' with him. Hiromi isn't actually Shinichiro's sister (which I already thought) and made up with Shinichiro's mother. Shame that both Aiko and Noe are out of the picture now. =(

I think Shin doesn't really "love" that way at all. I think it's been Hiromi all along and I'll be very surprised if he doesn't end up with her. She's been through a lot (being an orphan at a young age, ending up with a strange family, enduring Shin's mom) and now that things are looking up for her, her true personality might shine through.

Fortunately, things didn't turn out to be as ominous as last episode's preview was. The whole scene with Hiromi and Jun just staring at the burning motorbike was just... surreal. Even more so with Hiromi saying, "it's kind of... beautiful". The crash itself wasn't surprising because the road probably gets very slippery in that weather.

Now I'm starting to feel bad for Noe, because of all these events that are out of her control are beginning to mess up her life. That and the sudden revival of Shinichiro's feelings for Hiromi, suddenly it's all looking grim for Noe's feelings.

It's only going to be an uphill battle from here on for a Noe ending, and an easy downhill path for a Hiromi ending. Rooting for Noe until the bitter (to me) end.

I guessed they weren't really siblings. Still, I'm disappointed. Whom to choose, the brooding girl who only thinks of herself or the quirky girl who's always encouraging Shin? Then again, it's not a question of who's the better person or a better character. You can't choose the person you fall in love with.

Well, actually that's not entirely true. If I think of myself at 15-16, I might have been more attracted to someone like Hiromi, smart, pretty and unattainable. But now I know that a girl like that would also be high maintenance and not as much fun to be with as someone like Noe. Not to mention that Noe's supportiveness is not something one should take for granted. If you feel comfortable with someone the feelings will follow anyway. That rush of first attraction can be very deceiving and make it seem like someone is much more suitable than she is. I guess it's part of the romantic myth though that the first attraction would be the deepest and somehow fated.

What a cheap crock. It was just a lie? What bald soap opera.

And it's hard to believe that Shinichiro is so oblivious that he apparently fails to realize why Noe is upset until she pokes him in the nose.

Shin's parents are just weird. The father just letting all this shit happen to Hiromi even though he knew about it. The mother for hating Hiromi for no apparent reason (probably jealousy/hate for her mother) and now she is all nice and Hiromi thinks it was all her fault... okay...

Shin is a jerk if he breaks Noe's heart, poor Noe :(. And an idiot if he chooses that stupid Hiromi. Even though I expected them to end up together all along, whatever my final score will be, I will lower it with 1 for choosing that bland and shallow character.
I can already see that the reason will be the time they spent together when they were children.
Also, I knew they weren't related. That would have been to good, he could have chosen Noe... :/

So they aren't siblings well that's interesting, I do wonder what the reason behind the mother telling such lie actually was and her behaviour towards Hiromi! But damn Noe is sad, I wonder what will happen between those two, I do hope they can stay together it's the best match imo!

If hiromi isn't shin dads daughter, then wonder why shins mom hated her so much then? I wonder if it's because hiromis mom was shin dads first love or something. But still, shins mom seems way to jaded for that to be the reason.

I also find it weird that they'd get suspended for something like an accident that didn't involve anyone else. Must be some part of Japans culture or something.

I have never really liked Noe that much, she seems way too immature. I'm glad Hiromi is back on the table. I really like aichan but if the show ended ai x shin, this show would drop a bunch of points in my book. I wouldn't mind seeing them together, but they made it clear shin has no feelings like that towards her and trying to create those feelings from this point in the story with just a few episodes left would feel way to forced.

What I got from this episode:

- Poor Jun made me laugh. He tried to keep his cool and just kept strongly "suggesting" how bothersome the whole situation was for him, and Hiromi was all like "fire's pretty" like she hadn't nothing to do with it. That's the most cruel thing she has done so far XD
- Why are they suspended again? In almighty Japan you're not allowed to have a simple accident outside the school walls?
- Tomoyo just rocks! Finally a strong female character who doesn't swoon around a boy and just cares and looks after her friends, without worrying about what other people may say.
- Nobuse rocks too, being able to avoid putting the blame on his friend and defending him from those thugs... Hey maybe a NobusexTomoyo couple would actually be the best in the entire anime!
- Noe has lost part of her shining personality since she got with Shinichiro. It seems to me we're going towards the Hiromi route. I like Noe more, but maybe this is for the best. Hiromi seems too weak and dependant on Shin, while Noe has the strength to overcome this situation.
- I don't understand the hate towards Jun. He seems a good guy, aside from his sister complex. He was honest with Hiromi, and it's not that she wasn't using him as well. His methods aren't the best, but he means well, and I like how level headed he appears.

I for once like every character, with the exception of Aiko, so I think I'll be satisfied by the end :)

"Harems" (almost) always end with the main getting the girls in the following order:

1. The most special one (behaviour, supoerpowers, whatever)
2. The one he knows the longest (childhood friend)
3. Any other.

#1 and #2 may be the same. If there are several tied for #1, #2 takes effect strictly for the ones for who #1 is true.

In this case, Noe is the favorite, Hiromi is close up and the strongest contender for #2, with Aiko being close behind, but severly lacking in #1 (as in, she's a normal girl. Thats also the why neither Shin, Nobuse or Jun are even looking at Tomoyo etc.).

This would even hold true when Shin really ends up with Hiromi. Not only is she quite odd, too, but Noe might actually become more normal when she has her tears back and doesn't have to stalk Shin anymore.

And while the previews so far really misleading, Nobuse and Ai seem to be talking to each other again at least. And we didn't see him waiting for Ai like that before the break up, so why would he do so now if not to get together (or when they are together again).

Why the heck did Jun and Hiromi get suspended over the motorcycle accident? There wasn't alcohol or anything involved, so why did an insignificant incident outside of school affect their schooling?

Also, why did Noe keep poking Shin's sore nose? o-o

I don't understand this either, I've seen it a few times in other anime but it doesn't make any sense.
It's not like they were on anything or actually hurt / killed anyone either.
In fact ... people should be concerned whether they were okay or not, not giving them punishment ...

So we had drama over the mother just being jealous or no significant reason at all.

how did the crash even spread as a gossip? Noe doesn't talk to anyone, her brother goes to a different school, Hiromi and the MC are too distracted with the possible incest to talk with anyone. Unless they took a couple days off with injuries or the police came to their school for some reason. Doesn't make any sense.

Dumbass episode. Why is Jun blamed and even got suspended about an accident when it was Hiromi idea all this time? She didn't even apologized to him. What an idiot.

Also, why people made a big fuss about an accident when no one was injuried? Seriously, its so stupid. Other anime -like Run with the Wind- have proper arguments or at least they make sense. There's no valid reason to act like that. In fact, the school is allowing bullying towards them and even people close to them.

Ah, the mother was lying all this time, killing the only interesting twist in this anime.

And why our protagonist isn't in love with Noe now?

I can't take this episode seriously. 1/5
