Sorry Tamaki, but I've officially just been converted to Hikaru x Haruhi.

If he can't be gay with his brother, then being straight with Haruhi is the next best thing. xD

Mmmmmnot in my humble opinion.

No, he's bi, if anything.

Note that the writers loves bisexual men. They made the dad bisexual.

They like playing with fangirl male-homoeroticism. Hikaru is not entirely straight. Maybe he has some straight tendencies, but he's not straight.

wow I was suprised tho Kaoru is much more smart and devious than i thought....
I'm acutaally kinda rooting for Haruhi and Kaoru just cuz I think Kaoru is cuter and nicer, lol but Haruhi is such a ditz she'll probably never realize that anyone likes her.

Much better than I was expecting. I guess this is the point where the twins really start to differentiate themselves. I'm still rooting for Tamaki, though. I'm not touching the straight or bi issue. Ppl are always gonna see what they want.

Haruhi's "rejection" of Arai reminds me so much of myself. I've been unaware of someone's regard for me so many times in the past. (Self-centered much?) I probably let a lot of good ones go...

I love the twins' episodes (This one and Episode 5.) Their escape from their self-imposed isolation is one of the most meaningful themes of this show. I'm not 100% for Hikaru x Haruhi, since he's still such a spoiled brat, but I'm kinda for...Kaoru x Kyouya.

Enjoyed this one a lot. Happy to see some differences in emotion from the twins. I think Hikaru likes Haruhi. Hard to tell, with how wrapped up he's been in his little two-person us-against-the-world drama, but I think he does. Nice to see Tamaki getting out of himself and telling Hikaru Haruhi's secret fear out of concern for her. Good episode and good moves all around. :)
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

amazing episode :D

and yeah, tbh i didn't like this Arai kid since he just butted in out of nowhere, even if its unintentionally.

i feel sorry for him being rejected like that XD

i guess Haruhi is just not interested with relationships back then :P

never seen Hikaru to be jealous like that!!! lol Honey Senpai with the ice cream carriage!!

Haruhi looks gorgeous in this episode! she needs to do more twin tails!!

and i still don't know how Haruhi can tell the difference between Kaoru and Hikariu!

at least we know Hikaru is also into girls, but i doubt he'll leave Kaoru like that :P

the last scene was a nice touch!! this is also reminds me that the seiyuu Kenichi Suzumura and Maaya Sakomoto eventually married after this show.

i wonder if that were to happen as well in the manga? XD

Tamaki would be jealous as hell!!

at least everything is in peace right now, i can't wait for more date episodes with Haruhi!!

I never noticed how much different the two twins are... But what are you talking about Kaoru?!? A romance?! Tamaki-otosan will never let that happen!! xD

More seriously, that poor Arai rejection was really hard that I nearly cringed x)
Damn, Haruihi, you may be really intelligent, you are really oblivious about other peoples feelings.

I never thought that the arrival of Arai would bring jealousy in the group, in particuliar from Hikari. Well, Tamaki was also awfully jealous but it was more a goofy jealousy than anything else :P

That date started up in a bad mood but got gradually better. But yeah, they had to fall on Arai. As soon as I heard the thunder, well, we all knew what would happen.

That scene where he put his eadphone on her ears was soooo sweet :3
But I still hope she ends up with Tamaki. With all the effort he had put on her, I think he deserve it xD

The battle of love is just beginning...
So Kaoru is fully aware of Hikaru's condition.
I'm glad it turned out well in the end. By the way, Haruhi and Hikaru's seiyuu (voice actors) are married.

I think I actually squealed a little during that thunderstorm part. That was so sweet T_T And Tamaki telling Hikaru off for leaving Haruhi alone in the thunderstorm was so sweet too T_T I'm a hopeless romantic

I loved how Kaoru knew exactly what was going on with Hikaru. I wish I had a twin...Or at least someone I was close enough to that I could know exactly how they're feeling all the time like that...I'm just now realizing my best friends are cats because I hardly leave the house anymore

Hikaru and Haruhi are cute together. Tamaki seemed to fall for Haruhi because of her looks, while Hikaru likes her as a person. Oh, reverse harems.

I'm also surprised that people thought Hikaru was gay. He loves his brother more than anything, yeah, but not in a romantic way. They just do the twincest bit for the girls who come to the host club.

I don't think Hikaru and Haruhi were generally cute together in this episode. The scene in the church was heartwarming for sure, but as a couple they're not all that cute imo.

I think Kaoru was the real MVP in this episode. And it's interesting to see how different each of the twins are when they're seperated.

Good thing I can differentiate the twins now. I like Kaoru more than Hikaru tho.

I will support Tamaki x Haruhi no matter what.

They made it pretty clear that the twins reluctance to make new friends was something they both suffered with,but now it's switched to hikura being the one which conviently playes in to the romance/shipping aspect by the author.

Also,not a fan of Haruhi's trauma being used as a plot device in order to further development on the part of the character. I could tolerate it the first time,but it's getting pretty weird/manipulative now.
