Maho is kinda getting in my nerves sometime, does she never actually feels how inconvenient Koyuki was? it was supposed to be a date, yet he invite a douche bag? *facepalm* i change my mind when i think Maho is better than Izumi..

I hope some girl steal Koyuki when she flirt with that soap opera dude, she deserves a rival..

It was cool when 4 of them dreamed of the same dream and remembered all the details! Chiba was the only one who didn't and was frustrated, hahaha! At least he always dreams in panoramic, full color, 3-D. LOL.

Damn lucky Koyuki sleeping with Maho but he lacks initiative even after Ray's prodding... if it was me, I probably couldn't handle the temptation right after Ray went home, hehehe!

The breakfast scene was shockingly funny too. LMAO
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I can never really tell if Maho really likes Koyuki. Every episode she is in nearly she does some pretty hurtful things to him (such as making him think it was just going to be the two of them and then inviting his love rival, going to that dinner when that guy told him he wasn't welcome and not doing anything when koyuki gets very noticeably treated like shit by him all of the time right in front of her), but then she manages to do just enough nice things that i think it might be possible she actually likes him.

I liked Maho better than Izumi at first, but i'm starting to think about that twice... Maho ran off in tears when Koyuki did less than she did. Inzumi's only real fault was going out with that one glasses guy when she knew koyuki liked him and only coming back to tell him she liked him after they broke up. Maybe he should just go for the new girl...

Of course the biggest thing that made me unsure of maho was a few episodes back when she did nothing after koyuki was treated like shit at her friend's birthday party.

There was so much interesting things in the episode. I'm agree with Sato Kadzuo's point of view about music. Pop music is created just for getting money, it don't reflect musician's feelings, but really good music which comes from the soul can affect people and even change their mind. That fact that all members of BECK have seen the same dream is interesting. Great musicians is cleaning the heathland. What does it mean? Maybe, trash is the modern music that can't compete to old masterpieces? Or on the contrary they are cleaning after BECK's live because BECK can surpass them?
Lol when Ryusuke has found magazines with Maho's photos in the Koyuki's room near his bed :)
So, this episode was really good, I enjoy it!
Sorry for my English ^^

See? This is what I like about this anime. It's not random fan-service out of nowhere but rather a smooth melody that flows with the characters.

This episode proves it and once again showed the bond between Maho and Koyuki. They should kiss again but that's besides the fact now. These two makes up one of the main reasons why I watch this series. I find their relationship more appealing than Izumi. 5/5.

Maho sure is gutsy. However, I think her 'playing the field' and inviting other boys to dates with Koyuki is because she's a control freak. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that she didn't have much of a father figure during her growing up in America. She feels insecure, lost and probably uncomfortable about committing to anyone. Hence, this game she plays is her way of controlling the 'men' in her life.

Frankly, 16 is too young to get in a serious relationship. Koyuki must realize that on some level. He is goal-oriented. Even Ryusuke will tell a girl that the band is more important than she is. They have chosen a lifestyle that will be transient, exhausting, on the road constantly, and full of ups and downs. Few relationships can handle that.

If Koyuki does have options, I'd say the Hiromi, girl from the donut shop, is a better choice, or the other girl, Izumi, after she broke up with the other boy, because they are more compatible. Maho is a wild spirit with emotional baggage. Bad mojo.

I fix guitar amps for a living, so I talk to a lot of musicians and have a pretty good idea of the lifestyle.

Doesn't Maho realise Koyuki is practically swimming in pussy. Like other comments have said, why does she keep firing mixed signals. One moment she's as sweet as an angel and the next indifferent to him being shit on. They both are inadequately uneased in this unofficial relationship, but one conversation and they could happily go their own way without a hitch.


Koyuki now is very different to episode one, he has choices and no human likes being strung along like a puppet. Maho is also not exactly an ugly duckling.

Though I think Koyuki made the right choice to 'not be a man'. Rape is not cool. If she wanted the D she would've made the move after flirting about the movie but she went back to bed immediately.

man ryusuke really wants koyuki to fuck his sister lol

i think the fault is on both of them for why they aren't together yet. she's pretty obviously coming on to him without outright saying it, and he can't pick up signals. He did the right thing in asking later, but of course she's sleeping. kinda frustrating, and it takes away the focus on the music with all these love triangles. So far, i still find the love stuff entertaining, but if it goes on too long without some form of progress, that would be a bit sad

i wouldn't mind koyuki and hiromi, but then saku would be sad. also i like maho with him a bit more

This episode was freaking hilarious. I love how Ray is tryna get Koyuki to smash his sister, and that scene where Ray found Koyuki’s book open to the page with Maho next to his pillow (most likely implying that he masturbated) was GOLD. Also, Koyuki and Maho sleeping was adorable (smh he should have taken that condom tho).

So Koyuki still likes that idol? I think the earlier episodes depicted his fondess for her as being musically immature and implied he was leaving her music behind when he became interested in rock, especially when he had a setback and went back to listening to her as if retreating.

There's no reason he can't like both idol pop and rock, but that's how it seemed to be depicting it, so it's odd to mention her again after so long.

I swear to the lord above I have never been more frustrated with an Anime romance couple in my entire life, and that includes s2 of kimi ni todoke. Dude had an easy tap in, wide open goal. All he had to do was carry the ball into the end zone, just walk the bases and touch home plate, but nah only thing my boy wants to finger is his guitar...what is he gay?

Well classic anime trope. Confessing when they are asleep. Except in this case. Totally unintentional, just poor timing. Could've woken her up but probably feeling down after he finally worked to courage to actually say something. So unheard confession, then got the blankets taken away as a cherry on top lol probably just hugging the guitar cause he's a lil sad.

Sleeping with a guitar is risky business. I wouldn't even sleep with something like earphones in, honestly.
