| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Okay episode, not sure what the purpose was? Just to see Madoka jealous? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| To show how Kyosuke is like a virginal Makoto Itou. |
 |
| It's a good thing that girl explained to Madoka that nothing really happened, or else she would've likely never spoke to Kyosuke again. |
 |
| I really liked the complexity of the new girl's motives. It was an interesting clash between Kyosuke, her, and Ayukawa. I also felt like this really showcased just how reserved Kyosuke is. Even when a girl is begging him, he still stands by his morals. Seeing the preview last episode, I assumed this episode would make me think Kyosuke was a HUUUUGE asshole, running off with this other girl like that... but it's actually given me a newfound respect for him. Sean_Nessman said: Do guys often behave that way, getting excited n horny when alone with a girl, even if he has someone else in his heart? Yeah. From my experience a lot of guys can't help focusing on the physical side of things, even if they know they don't actually like the person emotionally. Plenty of guys seem to separate the two, especially when they're younger, but also potentially when they're older. I assume some women think this way, too. It's why people cheat on each other, even if they still love the person they're seeing, there's a certain allure to having some more variety when it comes to physical things. Kyosuke might not be above thinking those kinds of things, but he's at least shy/moral enough not to act upon it, which makes sense for a kid his age. Honestly, the way this is written seems pretty realistic to me. |

| Kyoske sure enjoys his youth. vigorousjammer said: Kyosuke might not be above thinking those kinds of things, but he's at least shy/moral enough not to act upon it, which makes sense for a kid his age.

| I'm waiting for the day Madoka beats the ever living shit out of Komatsu and Hatta. So the tennis camp isn't over? This was a fun episode with the new girl looking like Madoka and also her encounter being similar to Madoka and Kyosuke in the first episode. I thought the girl had a dead boyfriend or something like the surfing episode. I kind of wish the preview didn't spoil the contents of the episode. Looks like next episode is going to be even more fun. |
| It was a hot situation Kyōsuke found himself in. The first few moments meeting Oda reminds him of first meeting Ayukawa, and that he thinks the same is confirmed by the flashback. Even though I love how Hikari calls him darling, I kinda wish Oda would replace Hikaru. She felt like a better rival to Madoka, so I'm sad she is one and done. But it looks like people like her, who might trigger Madoka's jealousy, will be forthcoming in future episodes. The preview to the next episode attests to this. Speaking of jealousy, I am reminded that it's said to be that Madoka's characterisation is the root of the tsundere archetype, which for a long time I used to think to be Asuka. Well, she does seem one, but it's different. She rarely slaps and abuses Kyōsuke. So far, she only slapped him twice; in the first episode and in this. She is cool but more like introverted and doesn't express her feelings. Most tsundere I know follow the template of Asuka, who either verbally insults the guy (as in Senjougahara) or physically abuses him (as in Taiga) as a form of comedy. |

| I didn't understand the girl's motives at all. So she was getting a surgery and ... what? Why did that involve him? Why was she crying? What did she even want him to do about it? None of this made any sense to me. All it comes down to is MC is again a major idiot. She asks him if he's seeing anyone which a) he is, yet he says no, and even if he believed that was true then b) he still has his sights set on someone and shouldn't be going off with a new random girl. I'll say it again, this MC makes the dumbest choices possible and makes it really hard to want to root for him. |
