Karuta's so cute when saying Watanuki's baka!! lol~

The day comes, and she's nervous, but it's like the usual.

With that note, Hikasa-san's character and Toyosaki maid are playing with each other's breasts!! lol~

Hanging out with Karuta, who shares what she enjoys.

Natsume and paperroll guy's soundless conversation!! lol~

She's very concentrated on her cleaning up and preparing.

lol @ Mask and Musk.

Cute that the ringtone is the Karuta ED, too!

Getting ready for the test. lol @ Karuta's pencil with weird answers. SS guy solved her problem. And Watanuki still wants to fight against the girl! Natsume getting quizzes competition. Karuta is so adorable... and STRONG!!

lol @ the "Meniac" explanation. (Haiso?), and that the girl is tsunshun, not tsundere. SS guy cannot stop with what the girl's like.

Karuta can see the girl's change!!

And SS guy's ED!!

The note of not speak out... lol @ the not connecting conversation!!

lol @ SM guy's reappearance, and because the girl got the question correctly, she's going to Hawaii with him?

Way better than last week's episode.

Enjoyed all the KarutaxWatanuki moments. Renzou and Kagerou are still awesome, the after credits scene was hilarious.

Frustrating that they cliff-hanged Ririchiyo's meeting with Miketsukami last week and completely avoided it this week, as well as preview for next episode not looking good. Feels like their only card they have to play as far as character development goes is Ririchiyo x Miketsukami but their saving it for the very last episodes if they ever show anything at all.

I love the comedy and the characters though.

Better than last week; plot didn't move much but the return of the S&M makes next week look interesting at least; I'm sure something will happen before the ending, but i just wish they moved along the plot faster.

forgive me for the caps but F*CK YES KAGEROU IS BACK!!!!! ♥
I'm so thrilled for the next episode.
Although I just realized again how few episodes this show has....
will that suffice? :o

Also: I loved Zange in this episode, as always.
The Watanuki x Karuta was lovely.
And I really laughed at Chiyo slapping the mobile out of Soushi's hand twice, I dunno why xD

alright, the funny bits and stuff is great but i feel no connection with this show or anything.
it's like i'm just sitting here, just watching someone self pity themselves and don't do anything about it and they avoid developing the main relationship. something like that.
it's just ugggghhhh. i was so excited for the coffee time but nooooooooooooooo.
what did i expect, i guess?

hopefully s&m guy makes things interesting next week....

Another nice episode albeit slow and a little mundane. No matter what people may argue they cannot argue hands down to the following,

Kagerou saved the end show with a BANG entrance. That was the highest peak of the episode, Major ROFL and major fun just at that part.

Other than that the fan service was higher.

About the fan service, Ririchiyo finally got, what I predicted seeing that many animes just from the preview, the shower scene. It was nothing knew but it completes the fan service needed at a higher level. The list has more details.
  • Well certainly I won’t deny the major higher and to that extent effective fan service cock-teasing. Ririchiyo in the spoiler
    has all the was missing shown. Full frontal better seen, ass and chest. There is nothing better than the shower scene in fan service of her. Due to knowing the studio I think only some steam might be out more than it shows. I don’t think the studio would add any details knowing them from Bento series.

  • Chino/Nobara breast playing in the spoiler
    was fun and comedic. I found it nothing of lustful.

  • There were some questionable poses of Ririchiyo with those spandex in the spoiler
    rather appealing considering it sure showed more due to their properties. A ecchi fad at most done in other animes, still nice to see it apply to Ririchiyo.

  • Finally some Ririchiyo/Karuta swimsuit and daring poses in the spoiler
    modded to look better. Swimsuit of Ririchiyo was nice.
Suffice to say fan service fans got more than they asked compared to last episode.

About the preview, oh dear here goes Kagerou with Karuta enslaving her and he even wants to with Banri. Looks like Kagerou will try to enslave Renshou even from the looks of here. Looks like Ririchiyo will get one hell of a car ride here. Can’;t wait to see Soushi/Kagerou fights in the spoiler
will you prove yourself again towards your Master Soushi? SHOW ME! Next episode! Might edit later.

BTW Image Stitches have been done in the spoiler
some nice group ones and Ririchiyo ones.

Intermissions in the spoiler
is of Chino and Renshou that are nice cause Renshou looks in fashion and China is funny with her Musk Melon.

Some GIFs in the club:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=411829
of Kagerou in sig format.

Some pics modded of Nobara’s imagination in the spoiler
nice one of Karuta.

2. They wasted time fapping around pointlessly the entire episode and the coffee date didn't even happen.
3. That one faggot showed up again at the end.

Yeah but you did not answer me, is it only for her or other girls had that label too?

If so then it could be very well a new type for girls in future animes after this one. A new fad so to speak.

She's the first. I like it a lot more than tsundere just from this show. I hope some better anime come along and make some nice tsunshun characters in the future.

I often feel this anime isn't going anywhere... I mean, in the last 3 or 4 episodes, in the end, I think we aren't getting the story's development.

I keep watchig because I really like Chio x Miketsukami-kun pairing a lot, but I wish we could get more character development... and then when I though "finally, 8 pm has arrived!" no... we get more of Kagerou.

love this show - one of my favorite parts is always the vocal fireworks between watanuki and natsume - natsume has to be one of the funniest characters of all time - as always, the growing infatuation of ririrchiyo for miketsukami is so adorable - she is so out of touch with her own feelings, she is not totally sure yet what it is - i love the way this show takes it's time to develop, not running at a breakneck pace to go nowhere, it's more like real life...the return of kagerou- i can't wait to see what develops - the master of s+m was hysterical last time - also loved the whole "maniac" explananation....

YES! YOU ARE AWESOME! Thanks for the answer and then it looks promising for future tags to have a new one among them for girls. Tsunshun, huh? Nice, sounds good.

So you say, but the more I see of her the more I'm convinced she has all the characteristics of a tsundere, with an added quirk. So if anything, I see this tsunshun rather as a specialization, and I find it more interesting that a regular tsundere, but I wouldn't say she isn't one. That's my opinion anyway.

You see, the judgement of whether someone has successfully created a new archetype and how it's classified never falls on the author himself, but on the public, and right now I haven't seen enough acknowledgement to say for sure what's the verdict.

... This could be an interesting thread discussion though.

She has been called a tsunshun instead of tsundere because she gets depressed (shun) instead of getting modest (dere) after behaving in a conceited manner.

It's seriously not hard. Tsunderes are just annoying bitches with bipolar disorder: treat you like shit one second, treat you tenderly the next--always flip flopping between the two. Just when you thought she'd start being nice to you, you get slapped in the face for no reason.

Awesome episode! XD 10/10
Karuta was so cute!! And she eats all the time and even draws candies on her notebook. The scene with Sorinozuka and Zange and later Ririchiyo and Miketsukami standing before that message "Don't talk" was so so funny. And they get so kawaiii chibified all the time.

You should look at yourself before telling others to learn to read... I don't entirely agree with the tsunshun quote you made but it doesn't contradict what I said since it's not even stating that Ririchiyo isn't a tsundere. It you the one assuming that those two archetypes are mutually exclusive. In fact, browsing the tv tropes for tsunshun I see many tsunderes there, and while anything there has to be read with judgement (try it, it's not too hard) it at least shows that there are other people sharing my opinion... which is that, an opinion, just like yours, which is not an absolute truth as you seem to think.

The second quote you made is IMO a bit of an oversimplification but lets go with it. It still would be stupid to assume that a tsundere only has those two modes, since that would make all those characters lacking in any depth. So a tsundere would be the characters that build up from those modes. Now, Ririchiyo has shown those modes, being aloof despite herself, and extremely kind and sweet when being true to herself. The "shun" mode is an extra trait that displays her guilt over being "tsun", it doesn't replace the "dere" mode. To begin with, no tsundere becomes "dere" as a consequence of being "tsun".

Anyway, here's my advice to you, try to get your head out of your ass, then you might be able to understand different opinions.
