| Bloody hell they are cute together. |
 |
| Well, there are hundreds of anime asking the quesion "what does a kiss taste like?" This is the very first time, an anime actually answered it (and it wasn't even asked in this case)... |
| A rather interesting episode this time. Glad to see that Asami is one of the nicer type of people compared to those overdosed makeup bitches. I was expecting her to be like them but that award goes to Arai, who seriously looks like Mei but with long hair, not surprising though. Mei is still awesome for standing up to those girls in the bathroom. Good to know that Asami and Yamato's friend are going out. Nice focus on the other characters especially with Asami, who really attracts my attention this ep (wonder if she's gonna be a one-ep highlight kind of char) One thing to say at the end... EPIC KISS OVERLOAD!!! Still weird why must he kiss her so many times... I mean, just one good, long passionate kiss should suffice. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| That seemed really fast paced. Where is the series going now that all the main characters are in a relationship? |
| love this ep. cant wait for ep.3 |
     |
| Too early for them to kissed. waaaa :) |
| Sucks that the guy is such a womanizer. Makes their relationship come across in some wrong lights. |
 |
| Loved the episode and that opening T_T I've really missed Okazaki Ritsuko's voice... The girl at the karaoke sang Sarari by Suneohair by the way :D I love that song and it was nice to hear it during the episode =) |

Sexually attracted to him? so shes just a bitch.Nothing changes. Nature, what else do you want. We're all b*tches then. So you're saying that there are no people who can control their lust? i mean, if sexual attraction is only thing that holds Arai to Kurosawa because hes good looking, shes obviously a b*tch.Thats what i meant. Why should she or even he control it? They are teenagers, they are interested in the opposite sex, they got hormones, they are growing. All i'm saying is that this is normal and the tag "b*tch" is stupid and too strong of a word for something that is in us. If they want to control it, fine. If they don't want to, fine again. |

Airi just wanted to have kiss with good looking man, not Kurosawa.She wanted to use him, and i call using people just to calm their lust being a b*tch.I guess we have really different opinions about it ^^ |
 |
| Nice episode, but a bit corny in some places. Asami and kenji dating now it seems. Kisses at the end were uhmm "Corny" as well just the way how he describe each one and telling how every kiss has different feeling. |

Omni-Bot said: Honestly, I hate Kurosawa with a passion after this episode. First of all, I need to state that Mei is exactly like I was at that age. I don't just mean similar, I mean to-a-tee-carbon-copy-clone the same. I had a similar home life. I was also betrayed by people I trusted at a young age and developed the exact same outlook on friendship. Like her, I understood people quite well despite my social ineptitude because I could look at them without any emotional attachment and analyze their personality objectively. Like her, I never spoke to people at school, and when I did, like her, I did so with the intent of making them never talk to me again. And so on and so forth. Because of that I can say without a doubt that Kurosawa is a manipulative, self-centered scumbag. He may be a generic sparkly white knight bishonen type by typical shoujo standards, but when compared to the starkly realistic portrayal of Mei, simply saying that he's a selfless nice guy is not going to cut it. White knights do not exist in real life, and therefore they cannot exist as a protagonist in a story which aspires to have realistic characters. The ONLY reason that a guy would pursue a person like Mei as diligently and forcefully as he does is to boost his ego by making the most angry, antisocial girl in school fall for him. As the seemingly 'selfless freak' Taichi from Kokoro Connect said about himself, he doesn't help others because he cares about them more than himself, he helps others because he wants feel better about himself by having other people rely on him. He is a 'selfish freak.' Some of you might have liked the kissing at the end, because hey, who doesn't want a gorgeous guy sweet talking you and kissing you passionately just out of sight of the public eye. The thing is, a person like Mei doesn't want that, and a guy who really cares about a girl like Mei doesn't force himself on her like that. Mei wants to be able to trust someone, and Kurosawa is not someone to trust. As someone who normally loves the warm fuzzies brought on by good romantic stuff, this scene made me sick to my stomach. Uhg, that was a long rant. Sorry about the wall of text, but I just had to spit that out there. Perhaps I should have just made this a review. In some ways the show is too realistic for me (not something I thought I'd ever say), and what I take issue with is not so much the realism as it is viewers not realizing that there's more to the show than what's on the surface. Regardless, I really relate to Mei, and therefore will continue watching the show with the hope that Kurosawa will get enough development to justify his rotten behavior thus far. Well so far in manga they love each other... Don't know how it'll end though xD |
 |
| The story moves fast and that's nearly the only good thing about this anime so far. This romance is a bit too cliche for the moment. I hope it gets better after. |
| I take this over the slow paced Kimi no Todoke everyday. |
iLostReason said: Ah, if you had said this to begin with I wouldn't have indirectly called you a troll. My apologies. Now I understand where you are coming from.

We don't know very much about her, but I did not get the impression she wanted to use him. Rather, I got the impression she was becoming jealous because she was supposed to be his girlfriend yet she was hearing things about him and was pressuring him to make a choice between her and other girls. Second, to your later point, you are very correct, there are a lot of people around here who have different opinions on what is acceptable behavior for teens. Some such as yourself may be fairly strict, others of us are not. Can you just accept that some of us view the situation differently? However, I do have to nitpick. Originally, you said: iLostReason said: "Sexually attracted to him? so shes just a bitch.Nothing changes." Then you said just above: iLostReason said: Of course i understand that they are interested in opposite sex, got hormones etc. So, at first you condemn her for being sexually attracted to him, but then later you say you understand that. (shrug) Seems confusing to me. It's reasonable to me that you would want teens to control themselves, but it's not reasonable to me that you would condemn them just because they have urges, as your original post seems to emphatically state. Ah, well. |

Ajunky said: Ah. Okay.Ok, not my discussion, but I can answer that. The problem lies in the loss of context due to snipped quotes. He was calling her a bitch in the hypothetical case where she's throwing herself at him just out of lust... so the name calling was from start a judgement of action and not of urges... It's clear reading the full conversation, but not so much with the context omitted. |
|
| Yo wtf, that guy got the big tits lady. And Mr. 6ft+ just won over a girl in less than a few days. Looks and social status matters kids! |
    |
| that was so adorable. i can see mei starting to become closer to asami and the relationship between her and yamato is starting to develop even more. so many kissestho my heart couldn't take it ; - ; |

Envy? *shrugs* There may have been many guys like Nakanishi who kept talking about her because of that, causing other girls to be envious and angry :O bakuramariks said: iLostReason said: Amazing.That Ritsuko Okazaki song in OP.Also ED is just beautiful. 5/5 great episode.Not much to say. bakuramariks said: Face_Faith said: Ô.o Isn't that how it was? Arai definitely doesn't love him, and I think anyone could tell that. She maybe doesn't love him but she perhaps is sexually attracted to him. Lust. The good old lust xD. Sexually attracted to him? so shes just a bitch.Nothing changes. Nature, what else do you want. We're all b*tches then. I think I understand where you're coming from, but I agree with iLostReason. Even if you put it that way, the author wanted us to think that the only person Yamato actually liked and had feelings for didn't care a bit about his personality. She only looked at him after he had become popular and was good-looking, being superficial and all that. That's about all there is to her role. deathxempress said: Anyway, I started to dislike Yamato in a way. Because he seems to be the typical douche of shoujo. He kissed almost every girl at school just for fun, yet he could not kiss his first love. Which we see that she is someone prettier than Mei. I'm reading the manga, and I still don't get this part. Kissing all of the girls in school is not like him at all. I can imagine this was added because most other shoujo have this super popular guy who -- for miraculous reasons -- has never been in a relationship or kissed someone before. LazyLuong said: Face_Faith said: Jigero said: Plus nothing ever happens in that manga, ever. That's exactly how I felt when reading it ~_~ It's a miracle how I survived reading 45 chapters... The difference I find between the two manga after reading all the translated chapter of "Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun" and the first two volume of "Sukitte Ii na yo," "Tonar"i is more light-hearted and the character development is more subtle whereas "Sukitte" is more serious at a quicker pace development. I had assumed Jigero was talking about Kimi ni todoke... :S Poparteeb said: Why does the dude like her so much though? I mean, if some girl kicked you in the face by accident and thus behaved differently from the girls who fawn over you, you'd take notice. But for him to be struck by instant love? I guess worse plots have been contrived, but their relationship is then centered around liking the out of place things that they're used to. They talk about things like that later, so that might help, but tbh at that point my impression was that because the girl he liked turned out to be...uh...not as nice as he probably imagined her (XD) and he found Mei right after who seemed to have sincere feelings for him *coughcontrarytoothergirlscough*, he spontaneously went for her ^^° BatoKusanagi said: But did he? I don know about the manga, but that was said as a rumor, it may be true, but still... and got either the typical shoujo playboy or the typical shoujo loser, so that's very subjective. And it's not all about looks. Haha this anime is getting to me... I tried thinking that way, too, but he never denied it and if it wasn't true, I'm sure he would have said so... :S weiqifan said: O_O Like, wow, Mei came out of her shell conveniently fast There is still a very long way she has to go, I suppose this episode didn't show this very well :S Maybe the next ones will be better~ Omni-Bot said: Like her, I never spoke to people at school, and when I did, like her, I did so with the intent of making them never talk to me again. She's probably not very much like you in that aspect then... ^^° And about forcing her... The way I see it, he only forced her because he noticed her feelings for him, and tried to make her realise that... I'm not good at describing this... OTL |
| Kurosawa is really creepy. Do other girls like this sort of behavior? I doubt it would work as well in real life |

Indeed, we don't know much about her, but well, then i guess i should have said that my ''first impression of her is very bad''.Jealousy is jealosy, but...the thing is that they are dating for a long time if i remember correctly, and they have never kissed.Which is already weird, because if you really date someone and love this person, you would definitely want to at least kiss each other before some random girls/guy do it.Second, which got me really confused...why Kurosawa is kissing so many girls anyway, (if rumour is true, and it seems so) when he have girlfriend.Why she didnt say something before? and here another thing comes to my mind.They just don't love each other...at least thats what i think for now.I don't know how about Kurosawa, but Airi seems like trying to ''defend'' her handsome boyfriend only when something serious happens.I still don't know whats her idea, and what shes up to, but for this moment i dont think shes a good character that wants to date with Kurosawa because of love.He seems weird too, i guess we will just have to wait and see.

| such a lovely OP by the late Ristuko Okazaki i feel bad for asami and her boobs, but im glad things worked out for her in the end with nakanishi (who is a complete idiot by the way lol) and DAYUM, yamato is such a goddamn man-whore, kissing every girl in school and toying with their hearts poor mei is so innocent, hope she just doesnt end up as another play thing and get heartbroken or something that arai bitch is really fishy, she can fuck off GREAT SERIES THOUGH! love it, 9/10 so far |

There are plenty of reasons that they are not similiar. Nope, they're both labeled as shoujo demographic, school-romance and it's enough to compare between the show. Complex or not, that's up to the author to decide, but beside that, I don't see any complexity in this play boy development, and obviously you haven't read enough shoujo manga to say so. What I can say about this is, forced development, silly relationship. The girl was just randomly in love with someone who kissed her, he could be anybody. And if you change kiss = rape, it is still the same thing, the victim would be fallen in love with the sexual assault culprit. Cause both go against the girl's will. Complex? Nope I don't see anything complex in this except it's kinda dummb. I've read the manga before, tbh it sucks so I dropped after finished reading chap 3. Typical school life shoujo romance, if you want something different, you better read "bitter virgin" and it's in a totally different tier compare to those lovey dovey pretended relationship. Its no where near my favorite genre but i think i've read a fair share of Shoujo, and Sukitte is by far the most shallow, just because they are the same genre doesn't mean they are off the same quality. By that logic i may as well compare Sukitte to every shoujo not just Tonari.... Also is what you referencing Stockholm syndrome? because not everyone reacts that way.... So its only pretended lovey dovey if it isn't a story with heavy rape backstory....nice logic...T_T |

| Mistakenly deleted the post, here it is. Let me break things down to you: How is it shallow in Tonari? Their relationship is pretty much explained throughout 3 episode, and it gave obvious reason for the Shizuku to like Haru, she likes how carefree he is, cause he opened a world before her eyes which she hasn't known before. I would call that development progression rather than shallow development. It's more shallow in sukitte than tonari. Shallow? kiss a girl cause she was stalked by another man. He could just hold her and said get away from my girl friend. Then the girl fell in love with him because? _He's a hot boy _Opposite sex, hormones and stuff ... _ ... Any other reason? I'd call this a shallow development. Okay if she likes him cause he was coming to save her, then the reasons for him to come are? He's interested in a girl who he just met yesterday cause she gave his friend a kick. Dude he was in a goukon, karaoke with beautiful girls and hes a player. There's no valid reason for him to do so. When she asked, he said "are there any reasons for me not to do so?" -->basically the author wanted to avoid the matter. And I'd say it's a miracle to progress the plot. I'd call this shallow, once again. If you change the kiss = rape, it wouldn't make any differences. Both go against the girl's will, and he could be sued for sexual assault. You can try randomly kissing people and see. |

| Okay I was just quickly skimming through :(. Oh well, I just want to say that this and tonari can be compared, and obviously tonari is in a better tier in term of char development. |
Takana_no_Hana said: Okay I was just quickly skimming through :(. Oh well, I just want to say that this and tonari can be compared, and obviously tonari is in a better tier in term of char development. There, we have an agreement My whole point was that the characters in Sukitte are shallow, Tonari is a way better Shoujo, characters are more memorable/likable also in Tonari. |

| Although it wasn't as strong as the first episode, this was still rather impressive and enjoyable. The exceptional execution more than makes up for the rather generic premise. Though not quite as good as Tonari, it's subdued nature contrasts the former excellently. Mei and Yamato's relationship is pretty good so far, and I'm really looking forward to see how it develops. The ending was my favorite moment, as the multiple kisses were an excellent way to illustrate the extent of his feelings for her. For some reason, even though I loved the ending, it instills in me an odd feeling that Mei's happiness will be rather short-lived, unfortunately. The more realistic nature of the story predetermines that a plethora of painful complications will interrupt, perhaps in a severe manner, the growth of their relationship, which will likely affect Mei the most. Mei is an extremely likable character, and Yamato's becoming more interesting as the story progresses. The few side characters are very enjoyable, particularly Asami. Kenji's confession to her was a nice moment. It's great that the portion of the story involving Yamato's first love was dealt with in an uneventful fashion, since she, in her brief appearance, was quite annoying. Of course, I'm certain there's several more characters that have yet to intrude on their happiness, who, in all probability, will likely be worst and more unlikable due to their inevitably persistent, manipulative, personalities. The production values, though good, are somewhat inconsistent in quality. The direction is, I feel, the best element of the show, wonderfully displayed in the minimalistic framing of certain shots, such as Mei and Yamoto's final kiss. It consistently captures the specific emotions in the majority of scenes that hold heightened significance. The music is terrific, as it's quite essential in establishing the atmosphere, particularly during the romantic moments. The naturalistic style of the dialogue is another strength. The art is good, as it's used to portray a visually muted aesthetic that works surprisingly well. The weakest aspect of the production is the animation, but that's hardly a significant criticism. The OP is quite good, especially the song. I really love how the "previews" are done. All in all, Sukitte impresses considerably with it's direction, writing, and character interactions. It occasionally contains a certain level of harsher realism that the majority of other shoujo's don't possess, straying from the lighthearted tendencies of the genre. This has greatly exceeded my expectations; definitely the surprise of the season. |

BatoKusanagi said: Ironic that Mei's the stalker this time. Bullied for big having big boobs? Really? I dont' that would happen anywhere. Props to Nakanishi, though I thought he was going to be the love rival. The kisses.... fried-chicken flavored. I think I'm enjoying this more than I should. I blame E7 Girls that develop early are frequently bullied in middle school and late elementary, which is how they portray her history of bullying. If you don't think that girls won't put a pretty girl down and tell her that guys only like her because she has big boobs, I don't know what planet you are on! I thought that the character development was quite well done in this episode, especially for the secondary characters. I also liked the way that Mei started finding out about Yamoto's reputation and the rumors about him and how it shook her up. I wasn't too thrilled about the aggressive kissing at the end, but I also don't consider it to be unrealistic. (With most of the girls that I dated back in the dark ages, the relationship started with some sort of gathering with friends and at some point we were alone and started kissing. The talking about stuff and formally "going out" happened afterward. With my wife I actually asked her out on a date first, but I was in college by then, and we never got a chance to be alone at the party we met at... LOL!) Perhaps it seems more like US culture than Japanese, but I have a hunch that the traditional "no kissing until you've had a formal declaration of undying love" think in most romance anime is not really how things work for most Japanese couples either.) |

| So far I really like this anime and I hope it stays that way. The last romance anime that I've seen was Toradora xD. |

zensunni said: It's somewhat different between US and Jap cultures, but Jap culture is also applied for most of the Asian countries, where some places in Europe kissing/hugging is like a normal greeting, but in Asia, just a touch/hold hand from the opposite sex is serious enough. And the relationship between lover is really serious. In highschool, girls with big boobs and pretty face are popular and often get the "hot girl" nick name, or at least that is usually the case from where I come. So it's kinda silly tbh and BatoKusanagi got a point there, obviously it never happened in his school life, or he hasn't witnessed it yet. Well I haven't seen it either in my life time at school, so it's the rare case of bullying. |

| I don't know what's worse those trashy girls being stanky bitches out of jealousy or those douchey guys that are just mad they can't see the big boobs. seriously who would hate on a girl for having nice boobs. Some men/women are this stupid. I guess that's 2 couples already though.... that was fast. |

PuppyFucker said: Kurosawa is really creepy. Do other girls like this sort of behavior? I doubt it would work as well in real life Can't give my opinions for girls seems I'm a guy, but I daresay that if I was forcefully kissed (O_o wow can't imagine), I would be very irritated with the person. Even if I was in her circumstance. -_- Stalkers need kisses to be blown off? =_= No. Takana_no_Hana said: Mistakenly deleted the post, here it is. Let me break things down to you: How is it shallow in Tonari? Their relationship is pretty much explained throughout 3 episode, and it gave obvious reason for the Shizuku to like Haru, she likes how carefree he is, cause he opened a world before her eyes which she hasn't known before. I would call that development progression rather than shallow development. It's more shallow in sukitte than tonari. Shallow? kiss a girl cause she was stalked by another man. He could just hold her and said get away from my girl friend. Then the girl fell in love with him because? _He's a hot boy _Opposite sex, hormones and stuff ... _ ... Any other reason? I'd call this a shallow development. Okay if she likes him cause he was coming to save her, then the reasons for him to come are? He's interested in a girl who he just met yesterday cause she gave his friend a kick. Dude he was in a goukon, karaoke with beautiful girls and hes a player. There's no valid reason for him to do so. When she asked, he said "are there any reasons for me not to do so?" -->basically the author wanted to avoid the matter. And I'd say it's a miracle to progress the plot. I'd call this shallow, once again. If you change the kiss = rape, it wouldn't make any differences. Both go against the girl's will, and he could be sued for sexual assault. You can try randomly kissing people and see. Yes, this show is shallow. Irritatingly shallow, IMO. |
| Just to let you know, Sukitte and some events, main character are all based on real life experiences of writer :D Mei is the copy of herself when she was young, that skirt pulling really happened to her. I am not sure if the most handsome guy fell for her, but this also some kind of biography. And again, I don't dare to spoil you people, you will hate me forever xD Just wait and see how it develops. Amounts of wrong guesses here are amazing xD |

Amounts of wrong guesses here are amazing xD She could just make up something and said that it based on a true story(of herself) Something like this, for example(read the comments below): By all means, they're just ways to sell products lol ... |

Felt a bit.. rushed.. I'd say. This is probably the most kissing I've ever seen in the first two episode's of an anime. Mei is crazy cute though xD Really loving her as a character. I agree with you. At first, this anime was giving 'Kimi ni Todoke' feel then those kisses... :/ kinda made be disappointed since i really thought it would be kinda 'K ni T' but i like the story so far (expect those kisses +_+) looking forward to watching more. she is indeed very cute. different from the manga. but that is not the tachibana i know and loved. the tachibana i loved is someone who is socially awkward trying his best to understand other and ended up helping them. Not the stalker tachibana that would take random kisses like that. i was expecting that she wpuld kick him after he suddenly kissed her like that. Well, it's good in it own ways i guess. i just feel so dissapointed. well, i wouldn't dropped it just yet(since tachibana is really really very cute). And i hope they'll improve for next episode. |
