ZOMG TEH REI!!!!1

I am disgusted by Siva's manliness.
And by typical Gainaxing, even in a show like this.
It's bad enough to put ecchi in a show like this, but it's even worse they have to put in all the typical tit jokes.

Oh, I forgot to mention, this statement is seriously ironic given how girly Siva's set is. As if Aria is even close to manly. If you dislike it because it seems a bit too Kodomo no Jikan just say so, it's a lot more sensible than acting like you're afraid you'll be less masculine. That is the least reasonable critique about a cute show as far as I'm concerned. Moe bashing saying too pedo, understandable. Moe bashers saying it often reinforces some negative gender stereotype, sometimes disagreeable sometimes not. Too cute for a man to watch? Never ever ever a good reason.

I remember when GAR used to be some funny homoerotic joke. Now it's got people going on in ways that look as if to say "men should be men" in situations it doesn't even make sense. That is most certainly the least acceptable reason to criticize cute or moe I can think of. Calling something too pedo, understandable. Saying it reinforces certain gender stereotypes too much, sometimes understandable, sometimes not. Saying something is too cute for a man to enjoy? Never ever ever understandable.

How did the rest of my message I had typed not go through?
It better go through this time before computers truly make me paranoid.
Okay, I can't believe I had to write that out twice.

Any idea what anime reference was the first out of the four near the end? (NGE was third FMA fourth). I know i've seen it somewhere before but i just can't remember where... Maybe Love Hina or sthing. And it WAS an anime reference because i remember a scene exactly like that: bridge, moving, truck, boy waving from the car window. I think it's Love Hina but it's been years sincs I've seen that show -.-

I don't think that was a reference to anything, I think that's like a common plot device that's used in romantic anime. You know, the love interest moving away before they can say their feelings.

No. All 4 were references. The 1st one is definitely Love Hina.

That detective scene was too funny for words, and it was nice to see an episode that revolved around Koume-chan for a change.

Too many references in this episode.

Pretty cute overall,especially the detective play.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I was about to wonder how these kids' parents allowed them by themselves to wander around, glad that Anzu's mama showed up.

But I like the second part so much! Koume and Yuu kun so cute. I can finish this series because of Koume and Hiichan.

Another good episode. I liked it. Tailing Tsuchida like that was funny lol. I didn't expect it to good as deep as it did with erotic magazines tho.

The second half was great too, Koume found her first love lol.

Nice Eva references too Gainax.

Not just 1, but 2 Neon Genesis Evangelion References?!

And on top of that, a FMA reference. Nice.

It was nice seeing the focus on Koume-chan for a change. It's been a while since I last watched an episode of this anime, but it is still as cute as when I last watched it and now I am looking forward to definitely binge it in its entirety.
