| I was thinking she had an edgier past. Like physical/sexual abuse. Oh well, I'm not complaining, but I was mislead? Haha. And the waiting game follows. When's next episode, next year? |
| Still too much melodrama, but the episode itself was okay. I had my doubts about whether Iori was truly in love with Taichi-kun since day one. Wouldn't mind though, I'm all for InabanxTaichi. 3/5. |
| I started liking this series but then it threw at you too much melodrama in too little time. I will wait until the 4 last episodes air before rating this |

prismheart said: Yeah, it has been such a mess and now they clear it all by some stupid misunderstanding and made it more of a joke than the seriousness from before.Wow, Iori and her mom should have just talked about the situation earlier. That would have saved them a lot of grief. JeffreyZin said: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=477663Just watched EP13. I just don't get it. That's what I want to know. That's just left me puzzled! I mean seriously, THAT'S IT?! I thought it supposed to be 17 episodes?! |
| yeah that terrible pressure around Iori isn't that hard finally because we are the best friends of the world ! <.< |

| So both Iori and her mother were thinking it would be better for the other to keep things the way they are? This whole thing was totally unnecessary just because they haven't talked about it before... In any case, this series really surprised me. The mix of comedy, drama and a sniff of romance was very well done. I'm wondering what the next four blu-ray episodes will be about. I guess it'll be about the love triangle between Taichi, Iori and Himeko and the fact that Iori isn't sure about her feelings. Maybe we'll see some heartseed too? I'm going to hold off on rating the show for real, but for now it's on a solid 8/10. |

Geesh can someone not read the /17 eps part -___- If it was an ova it would be listed as one on mal and wikipedia oh and the official site -___-THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Oh wow, Yui sure is the energetic one this episode. I think there's some trouble going through Iori's heads but she's a good girl so she can handle it. Poor Iori though :( I also lol'd @ baby Aoki, so cute! Overall, another good episode and I think concludes the arc..hmm. Also, that little narration by Iori at the end there was somewhat touching. So, I guess it's to the OVAs now. |

Eucliwood_kun said: I really hope Iori doesn't stop liking him anymore or I'm through with the series and 6/10 and drop this show to 3rd fav of the season over being 1st. First you like someone and then you doubt it, like come on get real here -__- The one who should get real here is you; you make it seem like feelings never change; no better yet you make it seem like feelings are always interpreted correctly right away. There is a fine line between things like admiration and affection. People don't always understand their feelings right away; they just think they do and then after time passes they realized they screwed up in this case Iori is better since she noticed early. Also frankly I'm glad because she needs to get out of the picture anyway; only couple needed here is TaichixInaba. |

| Im pretty burnt about the next 4 episodes. :l |
| How can they just leave us with a cliffhanger like that! What do you mean the last 4 episodes are not going to be aired, what the!!!! |

blazehero said: How can they just leave us with a cliffhanger like that! There have been worse cliffhangers with longer breaks *Looks at Code Geass* That said doesn't it just make it better if you have that type of reaction? It will make you want to see the next episode all the more; thats what cliffhangers are for in the first place. |

Wow I'm sorry but am I the only one seeing a big ugly problem here. Shes glad that her abusive alcohol shithead father mader her an unstable mess like she is today??? Umm okay she has great friends but shes still a fucking mess of a person, I really am starting to loathe this series, I've been putting up with it just to see how bad it would get and this really takes the cake. Is there something I'm missing here? How is this acceptable story line or commentary at all?. What. The. Fuck. Anime.  |

I think her point there is, if her life wasn't messed up like that, she would never have gotten these kind of friends~ |
| Ahh yes, child abuse is totally worth it if you make good friends later on. Seriously. what the fuck. |

baracudaboy said: Ahh yes, child abuse is totally worth it if you make good friends later on. Seriously. what the fuck. Well, just to be fair, the bum is going to be out of her life for good anyway. Might as well take it in a positive note, right? There's no point for her to continue hating if the issue is resolved. |

baracudaboy said: Ahh yes, child abuse is totally worth it if you make good friends later on. Seriously. what the fuck. You are likely the kind of person who believes if one were able to change the past their future would instantly be better; well sorry to break it to you but it doesn't work that. If she didn't have that crappy childhood she may have just had something else worse down the line; who knows in another parallel line of her life she may have never even lived to her current age. You shouldn't act ignorant when her answer was the right one; you phrase it that way as if oblivious to the reasoning behind her words. Everyone has their own drama; some worse than others but if she were to reject that drama and say she wanted to change everything she wouldn't just reject the bad but the good as well. She would be denying her current self and everything she struggled to achieve. Why linger on the past when there are those who support her now and she is stronger for it. People who are able to overcome hardship are always stronger afterwards and many times they are better people too because they learn things they didn't understand before. Being narrow minded isn't a good thing; i suggest you be more open about things. |
|
| Shes supposed to forget the bastard not honor him. How is that too damn hard to realize??? |
|
| Its called acceptance; what you are referring to is denial; and to put it plainly its pathetic. People who deny that bad stuff happened to them in the past can never truly move on from it; they have to understand that its a part of them; and frankly her scenario could have been much much worse so being thankful that she got stronger from such a scenario isn't a bad thing. Its like thanking the scenario for not being worse than it was; and allowing her to learn and get stronger from it. You really are narrow minded. |

Cratex said: InfiniteDestiny said: Once you've accepted it you can clear your mind, and then planning your vengeance becomes much easier...People who deny that bad stuff happened to them in the past can never truly move on from it; they have to understand that its a part of them; Vengeance is nothing more than self satisfaction; a beginning to an endless circle of malice; there is absolutely no point to it. Its not like you get back what you lost with revenge; because in the end you simply dirty yourself by lowering what you were once were; like gluing together a broken glass and saying its whole again. |

InoriChan234 said: Is this series still going? Yep |
InoriChan234 said: I forgot what day this series is on >< and a friend of mine said it was finished. The first 13 episodes are finished. The remaining 4 will be aired later on. Dunno which date yet |
| This ends the Kako Random arc... Cant wait to see what the Michi Random arc is gonna be about. Seems like Iori is gonna give up on Taichi? |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| The fast pace drama in this show is the best. And the last sentence will make wait for the next episode forever, damn it. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I hate the waiting game. |
Eucliwood_kun said: Aurorae said: We have to wait because of that asshole who tweeted shit to a vaI hate the waiting game. Actually, it was know even before the whole incident getting blown out of proportion that the last four episodes would not be aired on TV. But yeah, the next episodes we'll be getting next year, in April. |
 |
| Eh, that was ok, I guess. I'm honestly quite disappointed with how this show turned out to be. The beginning of this arc was honestly more fun to watch... I thought it had a lot of potential but didn't quite get there, and this sentence summons up my feelings regardind this anime in general. Don't get me wrong, it's kind of a nice diversion, but just like SAO's anime there is so much untapped potential here. I mean, the premise is really interesting. The diabolus ex machina guy doing things for shits and giggles with the group and messing with them sounds really fun on paper, but the execution of the idea was lacking IMO. In the end nothing really interesting is done with this premise aside from cheap melodrama which I couldn't get invested because the writing wasn't very compelling at all. Sometimes I would roll my eyes and hope the scene would end so we could finally move on. The characters were ok, none of them irritated me or something, but they're just that: adequate, nothing more to make them stand out. Inaban is the only exception and the only character I truly liked, but the rest of them didn't make me care very much... The fact that I'm tired of characters like Taichi may have helped with that. It could have been an amazing show but it just settled in being average like so many others. 6/10, maybe I'll change it to a 7 if the remaining episodes are really good. |
