| poor risa.... :( |
| poor risa :( don't worry there's still more episode to go ^^ |
Enn said: Bear Curry :( Yeah it was really saddening when she kept saying bear curry and crying. My eyes were watery-I nearly cried. |
| That was so sad...but well I think the series wouldn't be that interesting if they get together right now...I know Otani is going come to his senses on the long run |
 |
| Stupid Otori....STUPID BOY!! |
| Now that was a sad episode. Though the bear curry nonsense sort of killed the mood, just a little. |
 |
| WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! I SOBBED SO HARD. BAKA OTANI! YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HER :'( I was just hoping.. that he would say something like "You don't know how much I feel the same way" D; I love Otani though. His whole attitude and character about the situation was beautiful. If only there were more guys like that in real life.. :) |
| I would like some bear curry as well now :p |
 |
| for some reasing i think Otani sayed yes and Risa heard it wrong. |
 |
| crap why did i have to find an anime that reminds me of my ex. She was tall I was short but in our case she was the one that didnt care too much for me so it didnt work out. Poor Risa |

| I started crying along with her when I saw Otani behind that corner, but then I started laughing when Nobuko said that thing about Risa being a spokesperson for bear curry, so at the end I wasn't sure if I was amused or depressed. |
 |
| Poor Risa. Her heart's in pieces. |

Liloute said: CrackityJones said: Otani was great in this episode. He was being all serious and mature about it and I don't get why people dislike him for his behaviour. He can't force himself to suddenly see her as his girlfriend or fall in love with her. And he was honest and kind while giving Risa his answer. During the scene at the airport I was honestly impressed with his straightforwardness and lack of anime-ish teenage embarrassment. He's taking her seriously and not rejecting her just because of her height, and he was really thinking about it. He's cool. I really loved this episode, humour was great, drama too. Bear curry was such a great mixture between comedy and real emotion, I was laughing while having tears of compassion in my eyes. :) And I thought the emotions and interactions were much more believable than last episode. For me, Otani totally made up for all his stupidity and has become a really cool and interesting character. This. :) It's not because you truly like someone and get along very well with them that you can suddenly go from the Buddy relationship to a love one. It's obvious he doesn't want to hurt her and does take her seriously (I prefer that to him dating her and risking to wreck their friendship whereas he's not sure about his feelings). I really like how this series is dealing with that issue so far. My thoughts exactly. I really liked how Otani responded. Even if he is secretly considering Risa as a potential girlfriend, based on the relationship they've had up until now, the whole prospect is surely nerve-wracking. I'm sure he doesn't want to wreck what they already have any more than Risa does. I also kinda got the impression Otani had more to say, but Risa cut him off with one of her usual, epic panic attacks. I feel really bad for Risa (I know I would be upset too), but I'm sure it's not over yet. Otani looked pretty miserable about making her cry, and I'm sure that really drove home how serious she was. |

| I always cry everytime I watch this episode.. and that bear curry... Poor Risa. Want to give her a big hug now:) |
| RISA T____T |
| dat rejection T_T |
| Yeah, I guess that response was to be expected... I feel so bad now :( But I was prepared to it, so the shock was amortized. Damn, bear curry sound delicious... o.O ''What are you? The representative of bear curry?!?'', That line made me cracked up xD All this episode felt so awkward. Poor her, she really can't go back now. |

| what an ending.This series got all my attention |
| No tears... sorry. Bear curry? That got me interested there is such a meal? Decent episode, melodramatic, the music in the background didn't help make anything sad. 3/5 |
| what did he said when he responded to him in the shop? he didnt speak up |

| Well, Otani's response has sense. Still long way to go for a happy ending. |
| Now I'm going to be looking everywhere for bear curry at Anime North... |
| I may just be really sensitive but watching Risa cry like that made me well up. |
Xinil said: Otani fails at life. Seriously, I'd love it if this show threw in a new male character that is pretty much badass, and had Risa x Him go out and be happy. Then, Otani finally figures out he's a fucking moron and actually likes Risa, but she's not available anymore. It would be so good if that happened. that would be so cleche it would be disgusting. she needs to love her friend and go the yuri route :P zeeber said: Its just lulling on and beating around the bush, whereas the first few episodes moved at a nice, steady pace. i agree somewhat. ---- i understand otani right now. he just wants things to be right. and jeez risa got on my nerves bad in this episode...>_> her flip flopping was making me want to rip my hair out. onto 9! |
 |
| I think its better for them to stay as comedy duo. When you become couple, you cant tease/make fun of each other. 3.4/5 |
 |

| Awww. bear curry can't knock Otani too much. He's only seen her as a friend for so long |
| I know how Koizumi feels ;'( |
| That was actually a sad ending :( Kuma kare T_T |
"Signature removed"   |
| So goddamn sad! I can't stopr crying... :( |
 |
"大谷わくまカレー" (Otani is bear curry)  This has singlehandedly become the best quote in anime history. No, but seriously, I feel really really bad for Risa. I can understand how much that hurts... |

| Pretty sad episode,and Otani was a dumbass. they have the same hobbies,they enjoy being with each other,and she clearly likes him. what more could he want? Hopefully she succeeds in the end. |
| I was crying so hard; so hard. I told myself i wouldn't but i couldn't help it, it was so sad :( |

| Risa.. I'm glad Otani was mature and told her flat out, instead of that whole dense business he was during that past few episodes though. Wishing the best for Risa, I really relate to her so much. |
| OHMYGOD!!!!!!!!! This is really really sad!!! ;'( I understand Otani (he's really not dense, he just didn't see her as a girl that will like him), I feel the pain of Koizumi.. I even see them suit as bestfriends only too. I already heard this show a long long time ago. I watch only 2 episodes, then stop again and on-hold this for a long time too because I really can't see them as a couple!! Even myself, I can only see them as a very good friend. Not all boy-girl friendship is fit to be a couple.. I saw some really have platonic friendship and they are funny to watch like this comedy duo couple. But I'm so sad for Koizumi.. it's really hard to fall in love with a bestfriend especially when he just see you as a friend only. And also their complexes add to it!! If happen they are not tall girl-short guy or too close to each other that can even passed as siblings, maybe they can be a couple. But this kind of friendship is really hard to upgrade. |

| That was a big oof. Man, now my heart is broken, sheesh! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Ootani acted in the gentlest way he could to avoid giving false hopes to Risa yet most of the people here are mad at him -.-' So-so episode this time. Regarding the rejection scene, Ootani's response couldn't have been more realistic and understandable even if he tried yet I couldn't help but find the whole sequence too melodramatic for my taste. Besides, the idea of easing the mood with Risa and her broken heart by adding that weird kuma curry gag was pretty lame. |
