This episode was just stupid as hell.

1. Fan service fucking overload. Jesus...
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.

-_-'

Oh yeah, and if anyone else calls Ririchiyo a tsundere again after this episode, you're definitely a retard.

Good episode,KAGE SAMA!!!

The episode had a lot of fanservise to cute delicious Ririchiyo bathing to boob grabbing between Chino and Nobara.

The comedy again was good Sange still made me laugh anytime and KarutaxWatanuki its always cute.

Now...the plot didnt advance nothing and at the end the coffee date didnt happen because...the greatest character in anime appear KAGE SAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!! next episode seems filled with him and it looks probably get some info on Soushi....CANT WAIT!!

Yeah but Tsunshun only applies to her does it? I mean I did not see other girls having it labeled so far other than this series.

Idiots kept calling her a tsundere even though that clearly wasn't the case. And you can just see her character page to see anyway.

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.

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....

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.

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.

She has a chest, and its sorta bouncy, which was unexpected, but I like it :P

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.

I'd rep you if I could. Ririchiyou is not a tsundere, get your facts straight, people!

Tsundere is an overused term as it is, lets not add characters in it who are clearly recognizable as something that doesn't resemble a tsundere.

Also, I would like to reiterate that Riri's tsun personality does not come from being "aloof or irritable" as the Tsun definition denotes. She is simply socially awkward, because of her past. She's genuinely a kind person, as you can see from her inner thoughts. And if you're like the other characters, who disregard her initial heated remarks, then she becomes more honest with herself to what she truly thinks. Also a Tsun character isn't supposed to act that way to everyone, it's meant to only be that way to their potential lover, while they act differently to everyone else. This is how it is with all of the Rie Kugimiya tsunderes, and every other tsundere you can think of. Ririchiyou acts the same with everyone. So with that being said, I personally am hesitant to place her into any of the tsun arch types, since she doesn't feel tsun to me. However, she is definitely more shun than dere, so tsunshun is the proper term if must be used. >.>

Now, that's an reasonable, civilized argumentation as opposed to... well, let's not go that way.

Indeed, tsundere is used a lot which means either that it's often misused (as you're implying) or that it's a highly generic archetype (as I tend to think.) Though at least I would like to believe that it's a bit wider than Rie's loli tsunderes (were tsunderes always THAT annoying?)

Still, leaving aside where Ririchiyo's "tsun" comes from, you do have a point in the fact that she is that way with everyone and not just a love interest, and though I know some people that would no agree, I find that a very relevant issue for the tsundere...

What you have actually convinced me of is that "tsun" may not be fitting for her. With a reasoning similar to what you used, Ririchiyo is definitely more "shun" than "tsun"... though I still think she is "dere" enough...

So I've changed my mind, she's not tsundere OR a tsunshun. I say it would be a better descriptor to call her a shundere, so I'll be using that instead, whatever Mr. Draconis chooses to call me.

Commenting as I watch:

-The episode couldn't have started off better. "If you don't eat a parfait with me..."



Which of course resulted in Watanuki going all...



-KAWAII!!!


-LOL The "Don't talk" scene was HILARIOUS!! xD

-Karuta being hilarious and cute in the study scene. "Perry" xD

- Karuta and Watanuki being partners yay :3

-

O_O What is this faggotry?...... H-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s! xD

-LOL This episode is just too damn hilarious... MANIAC!


Awesome episode this week. The comedy portion got to shine.
And I still love the noice Ririchiyo makes before turning the Tsun switch on xD


5/5

Oh no. Not the S&M guy -_-' I do not want to hear who is S and who is M in the next episode please. I have a feeling that people like him only because Sugita Tomokazu is voicing him.

Omfg Karuta with that new hairstyle. And the way she was going with the pencil roll during the study session, "perry". Gahhhhhh too KAWAII. She just keep doing something more adorable than the last episode everytime, always topping herself.

Lmfao Nobara always makes the episode so hilarious. Manic! God I love the way she goes all manic with the cute girls then once it comes to a guy, get that thing away from me. Those scenes with Chino, oh god she's almost as cute as Karuta. I bursted out laughing when she just randomly told that guy he's a tranny-pedia.

Great episode was so fun and cute to watch. And hell yeah Kage is back and now everyone is chamberpots.
