 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Erm what's up with the pacing of this series? First we have two episodes that have next to nothing of manga material and now they rammed BOTH Nozomi's and Fumino's chapters in this episode. Well besides pacing I thought it was very heart-warming episode. I guess I'm a sucker when the subject is about family. Animation was also cosiderably better than in last episode. Oh and Francis. You're the gif-master right? Do you mind making me a gif of Nozomi's hair going up and down? It was about at time of 1.59-2.01. Just like they showed after opening, but without those annoying texts. I would like to use it as an avatar. It's just soooooo cute. I'd be happy if you did it, but there's no need to rush :). |

Well that makes sense but I don't see much of Nozomi's background that much other than her feelings and views in general about Takumi taking care of her. Zero009 said: Well besides pacing I thought it was very heart-warming episode. I guess I'm a sucker when the subject is about family. Animation was also cosiderably better than in last episode. Yes it was heartwarming but I found it so kiyaaaaa........Fumino confession+tsundere mode on. That was good! :D Zero009 said: No problem and on the job! :DOh and Francis. You're the gif-master right?

| There is no real pacing in the novels either. It's a fucking harem with cats and a fat tsundere Saten..don't ask for miracles, just ask for entertainment..which it is. I'd have to say this is one of the more entertaining shows this season on just the fun factor. |
| Ok™ |
francismeunier said: Yes it was heartwarming but I found it so kiyaaaaa........Fumino confession+tsundere mode on. That was good! :D In manga Fumino actually only said once I hate you(meaning I love you), but anime decided to overplay it a bit. Love, hate, love, hate. lol francismeunier said: No problem and on the job! :D Oh thanks :D.

But yeah this is the type of show where you shouldn't mind anything and just watch it for entertainment. |
| All right, to anyone complaining about the pacing, the anime is more faithful to the light novel (original source) than the manga is (adapted source). Any comparisons between manga and anime is then rendered redundant because of that. If you must know, the manga actually switched the confession and Nozomi being convinced to return, in terms of timing. Anyway, rant over. This series has been a real surprise in terms of the way the emotions of the characters are being portrayed and brought out. This heartwarming quality makes the series stand out amongst others of the same genre, so I think this could be a sleeper hit by the end of its run. Loved the dishonesty of Fumino, which makes things all the more interesting because even if it's her fault, she'll take it out on Takumi. Poor guy. XD She actually panics and confesses to Takumi, which leaves him wondering if what she said is true (love, or hate?). More punishment for him, in a way. For Nozomi, her deadpan responses and bluntness is just win. At times, even if it wasn't meant to be funny, you might find yourself inexplicably laughing. I think this episode's events could be a catalyst for her to start liking Takumi. Takumi seems to be, on the romantic side, like most protagonists are, dense to the feelings of the girls around him. However, he is not entirely spineless and actually does something, especially during a crisis. This episode reinforces once again on why I chose this show because it's very fun, and you do not have to think too hard to get the hang of the plot. Plot-wise, it's not going to be something you'd want (for most people anyway; it's all PLOT PLOT PLOT or CRAP CRAP CRAP), so some people might just shoot off whatever criticism they have about the series on a whole. I still think the best has yet to come, but this episode is pretty close to it. Definitely continuing. |

| Really want to see the sub so I can straighten out what bits I didn't quite understand, though. However, based on what I know and understand, I'd say this was the best episode of the series thus far. Very heartwarming. Hope the other eps of the series build on this one quality wise. Also, the animation was better in this ep than it was in the last (thankfully!). I was already expecting it from the manga, but it's really interesting having what's supposed to be the female lead of a harem series confessing this early on. However, there's a twist in that Takumi's not quite sure what to think because of Fumino's habit of lying. The fact that she she's she's lying only makes it more confusing. Also, she managed to fit a bunch of tsundere bits in the confession, which was awesome. We had back-to-back "Urusai urusai urusai", "Baka baka baka", and "Die twice!" I foudn that amusing, personally. Also, great job for Takumi convincing Nozomi to come back. A touching scene, especially watching her break down like that and Takumi comforting her. Like I said, great episode. Very heartwarming. Hope the rest of the series is at least this good. I'll give the ep a 5/5, the first time I've done that for the series. |

| Loved the episode, albeit it's the climax episode of the entry arc so I expected it to be good, but it was better than expected ^.^. Even though, having read the manga, none of it came as a true surprise (we know it's based off the novel, lay off >.>), it still felt as endearing and fresh as the first time. In my opinion, a harem series that has pure and heartwarming sequences like this has won the game. Too many recent series have lost touch with that and either attempt it but make it feel unnatural and injected or don't try at all and attempt to make up for it with fanservice. Mayoi Neko Overrun manages to integrate everything within the plot quite nicely allowing the drama to feel natural and in tune with the events of the series. This episode was a perfect example. 4.7/5 tentatively. Plan to reevaluate after the sub to understand the parts I didn't quite catch. |
| This episode was... I just can't sum it up in words how I felt. I was baffled by how bad it was that I'm not even angry. Most of the time I was just face palming and laughing at everything that took place. This series just got much worst. Oh and I like how she blew it off in the ending, "That's obviously a lie." THE FUCK? Another good example of abusing the tsundere personality for the sake of dragging a shitty story. This is the most pathetic episode of any anime I have watched since...well, a long time. I got to finish this because it's just so bad. |

| I find the art very inconsistent . Great at times bad at times. Heartwarming episode :D ~ Tatami !! |
| Mokyuu♥~!! |
| Awww, what a heart-warming episode.. Liked the episode. And I'm liking Fumino. I love how Takumi's a good guy, not a useless one which is usual in a harem. That was some good comfort. Good thing Nozomi came back :) Good episode. |
| This anime is so bad it's good. |
 |
| Wow. This actually made me laugh at a few scenes. Not in a good way though. |
 |
| Better than K-ON!! tbh >.> One thing I'm curious about though, where did all those cats come from? O.o Also, that was quite some over-exaggerated tsundere mode xD... |
| 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. |

| It was an entertaining episode with a good amount of development. And it was better than this week's K-ON!! episode. Oh and the ending scene was kinda fun too. |

Mathes said: Wow. This actually made me laugh at a few scenes. Not in a good way though. This. The quality of this show overall is a roller coaster by nature... I was wondering why it's so bad, and it turns out every episode has a different director. I didn't think there could be such a thing as too much tsundere, but I was wrong. |
| The characters' life stories were pretty interesting this time around; however, the plot in the present (Fumino acting bitchy, Kiriya running away) was lame... so I guess, it's either good or lame at times, lol. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
rabids0ap said: Good catch. The references are hard to see like Misaka from Railgun in episode one."Akikan!" melon soda, anyone? xD |
| Wow, you don't usually get a confession in episode 3 I kinda care more about the characters in the past than now. Honestly, outside of a last episode in which a confession really takes place, I can't see this series ending in any way except stupidly. Maybe it'll surprise me but with the massive directors shift taking place I doubt it. For the episode itself, I'll give it 4/5. It was the best episode thus far, though I think that's not saying much. |
 |
| I agree with those that are complaining about the pace, but I guess if they're being true to the source material than it's hard to judge their decisions. This is a cute series, it's fun to watch these types of shows while waiting for new episodes of the more story-driven series. |
| Wait a minute, i thought in episode 2, he was sleeping then the phone rang, and fumino was outside........................ but here, he went to see nozomi, talked then the phone rang... etc. wtf <.< Laright episode. hopefully the confession will be brought back..and not forgotten |
 |
| Fumino is the type of tsundere that you don't hate. Maybe thats just me though. |
  |
| Good episode. Is it me or does this episode feel like the ending of a certain anime I've watched? O.O |
| This is a signature. |
| nyaa |
SoFarGone said: Fumino is the type of tsundere that you don't hate. Maybe thats just me though. No, it's not only you :D Tsundere are someone who I find adorable~ |
| This is a signature. |
| It seems like the episodes are getting better. I liked this version of the events more than in the manga. It had more emotion to it. I'll be looking forward to the next episode! |
Maximatum99 said: rabids0ap said: Good catch. The references are hard to see like Misaka from Railgun in episode one."Akikan!" melon soda, anyone? xD Extra applaud from me. So there really is a new director every episode? I guess that would explain the reason why this episode was floating separate from the others. Like it literally didn't connect to the ending of episode 2. It was really weird because there was so much stuff in this episode yet it only felt partially rushed. While it might of been cliche like some people say, the way they executed it was not bad at all. Also helps when this type of stuff is your cup of tea. I really hope they don't completely ignore the confession as if it was just a joke. The ending gave me very bad bad vibes about that. If that happens all the points this show just scored with me are going down the drain. |
| ...yup...this is definitely a harem. This episode was fairly enjoyable. I wonder where the story is going to go... |
| I like this series so far, even though probably not one of the best it's one of my favourites |
| This episode is ......boring imo. Maybe because i already bored in the middle of this episode. Watching Takumi past makes me even more bored. This anime really makes me disappointed, at first i have a great expectations of this anime. I'm kinda hoping that this one will turn to another good rom-com anime. But up until now. I didn't laugh at all and its romance aspect isn't good either. Well, from now on, i think i'll watch this series just for the sake for completing it. |

| Nice episode , average start but great ending :) |
| Why is it that every female lead has to be afraid of lightning/thunder? It gets annoying after a while... |
| I could say Takumi was a lucky man. :D It's kinda heart-warming at the end of Episode 3. :] |
 dearest my bb shinah ty for the bday present <33 |
OShoranO said: Some people found that kind of girl cute..me myself find it cute in anime..in RL hell noWhy is it that every female lead has to be afraid of lightning/thunder? It gets annoying after a while... Well it's just a harem shows trying to be a harem shows after all, which is adequate |
 |
| I'm getting kinda confused about Fumino. How do you know when she's telling the truth or she's lying. I'm practically flipping the meanings of all her dialogue to see if what she said is fitting to the situation. I still like Fumino's character,though only this part bothers me. I felt that there was something missing here. I just didn't feel the confession part and the Nozomi convincing part. I think that if another director handled this episode(and seeing as how each episode from now on will have different ones), those scenes would have been much better. But last part was nice, both the nose flicking of Fumino and the random maids act. 3/5 |
 |
| this series should 'live' twice.... that line is getting so annoying... |
 |
| lolwut. confession between main chars in ep 3. Oh well. Hopefully better lulz ensue in future episodes. (so many cliches) |

I'm practically flipping the meanings of all her dialogue to see if what she said is fitting to the situation. I still like Fumino's character,though only this part bothers me. Has to do with how she brings it. If she says it with a straight face or gets rather hot-headed over it, you can be sure that whatever she says isn't what she means. That's the nature of a true type-A tsundere. In reverse, if she gets really embarrassed, stammers and has trouble finding her words, she's usually telling the truth. It's strange that Takumi never realized Fumino's feelings for him, while he does know what she's thinking most of the time. I guess he never saw her more as anything than a childhood friend. Nozomi understood perfectly what Fumino thinks of him, so I take it that she didn't want to get between the two of them, probably realizing that she might come to like him as well -- if she doesn't do that already. So, now that Fumino confessed and Nozomi ends up coming home again, I wonder how they're gonna handle this for the remaining 10 episodes, coz I can't tell where this is going as of yet. Good episode nonetheless. |

| So this is what a poorly directed anime episode is like.... Hated the fast-paced development. Hated the tsundere attitude. Overall, I disliked the episode. The 1st 2 episodes were a lot better. |
     |
| Well, after watching Toradora! I became allergic to tsundere heroines... and here we've got 2 of them. As if this was not enough, this episode was terribly developed - pace of action was changing from normal to too fast a few times. To sum up - even in spite of these flaws, I enjoyed this ep more than the 2 previous ones... |
     |
| Much better than the second episode. Hope it stays this way. I have faith in you AIC. |
| Nice episode, I liked it a lot, I hope it continues this way too.^^ |
