At this point, I'm only continuing cuz I have come too far to turn back now. So I will see it thru to the end. Setting expectations to the lowest from this point onwards and I'm almost positive I will still be disappointed. Oh well, not every anime can be a Chu2..... Happy to see there is more people that thinks the same as me about this show. You wrote what i was thinking. :) I'm pretty sure there are alot more than me who feel the same, I'm just vocal about it is all, lol.

You're somewhat right but the Anime is not really that bad as you are saying. |
| Ah, that epic Nyaboron music. |
| Damn Sorata, why is he so dense and shouted at Shina? And it's second time he does that. |
| Great episode like always. This is just the perfect comedy and romantic Anime in my opinion. I feel bad for Shiina at the end, with her being sad...but on the other hand, Aoyama was happy, and I prefer her a bit over Shiina. I suppose there will be a happy Shiina end, but I wish that it'll be different. 5/5 9/10 |
 |
| i want shiina and sorata... but still good episode |
| am i only one who didn't like the new OP.. i feel it out of place.. lol.. new ED looks good, but still i like 1st OP/ED more... sorata action, though like other said is jerk and dense, i can feel why he act like that... its just frustated when your hope get high then got crushed right away... and mashiro just got bad timing.. always got bad timing... she is first person who greet sorata after he receive his crushed hope.. and not just once.. twice!!! mashiro talent just worsen it, really worsen it... and about christmas eve, maybe he still go with nanami, but with a face full of regret, then nanami suggest he should go to where mashiro is.. (poor nanami, always supporting her love rival...) one more thing, if not and he break his promise to nanami. i will rage at you sorata.. anyway good start for new arc.. still solid 5/5 from me.. |

Well then suffer through it or drop it, either way you are the minority. |

| Sorata no Baka! |
| 3 episode rule. If Sorata doesn't stop being a bucket of urine, I'm dropping this. |
 |
| DAMMIT SORATA, WHY YOU GOTTA YELL AT POOR LIL SHINA LIKE THAT. |

Casperkid15 said: sorata no baka :( He is stupid gosh why just tell me why would you yell at shiina. All she is trying to do is get him to fall for her. Its not her fault that he sucks at making video games. |
| Damn Sorata why u so dumb and mean too. It was nice to see Aoyama getting her way though. Sorata better not fuck that up but it would be entertaining if he did. |
| Sorata became worse. Well, should expect that. |
| Despite thinking sorata was kind of a dick to Shiina, it still makes me amazed at his character. It's irritating on the outside, yet on the inside, it's a deep ocean. Okay, maybe not that deep, but still. Sorata had no hesitation saying he preferred the old Shiina, which was surprising. I actually thought he wouldn't answer that question. It made me think about how Sorata looked at Shiina with amazement before. He wanted to be like Shiina. Work as hard as her, and achieve what they set out to do. Right now, sorata is having no luck with that, and failed pretty much every single time, while Shiina was on a roll. Especially since sorata thought he made progress, but fell HARD. Now sorata is feeling that mashiro isn't the same as she was before, and isn't the same as the one he admired. It's like she isn't taking her manga seriously anymore. so failing again, and seeing her get side tracked probably made him feel discouraged, considering he thinks she has the potential to achieve what he is struggling greatly in, and he's feeling she's not taking this opportunity, especially after Rita came, and showed how some of shiina's talent has already somewhat gone to waste. He probably also felt somewhat jealous, seeing she could get side tracked, and still make more progress than him. Also considering she's a genius, and editor's remark on how she could lose that genius sight, it's tough living with a genius. All this change is probably driving sorata crazy. I really feel moved by his consistent character, and shiina's development. i think people are exagerating a bit when it comes to this episode, but meh..Also, aoyama is taking matters into her own hands, but sorata is too dense, and I feel more and more sorry for Aoyama each episode. I would break down if sorata ditched her, considering what she has to go through already. I'm starting to like her character even more |

hydroscarlet said: AHhhhh This Sorata... How can someone be so naiiiveee! Cmonnnn Shina just confessed and Sorata didnt even respond to it. We don't even know if he heard the confession...the plane flew over remember? Not to mention that dream is all we got afterwards with his thoughts on it. |
|
| Sorata saying he likes the old Shiina better is quite amazing in my opinion. It kinda shows what he thinks of her and to me, it looks like he looks up to her more than anything else which i found pretty shocking. Loved this episode though, even if Sorata took out his anger on Shiina, im not mad at him doing that really though, he was just frustrated that his game got rejected again and Shiina was unfortunately at the wrong place at the wrong time. In my opinion, Sorata is DEFINITELY one of the best main characters out there because on how he acts, he is not perfectly nice, he gets angry and frustrated which makes him well rounded. Im very impressed with him as a character. Dont worry though, once you fall, you just get up. Sorata will get up stronger and better than he usually is. Short version, Sorata amazes me as a character and i loved how he was shown off in this episode. Cannot wait until next week :D Oh yeah, i like the original OP and ED better, but i still love this OP and ED. this might be the first anime with 2 OPs and EDs that i really like :3 |
| sorata is kind of idiot... |
     |
| The cooking part was really boring, but what annoyed me the most was obviously Sorata's behaviour. I'm really getting tired of all those stupid shit writers keep doing to slow down the relationship. Sorata was as dense as many harem lead during this episode, that's not even funny. I can already see the backlash of that stupid promise he made to Aoyama. |
| ...here we go again. what is the director thinking using the same lashing out trick again. is he trying to make us hate the MC? lol |

| -1 Sorata for how he's treating Shiina -1 Sorata for how he's treating Nanami -1 for another show where the girls (including Misaki) are after guys who don't deserve them. Lost a lot of ground this episode |
 |
| Pretty good episode. I have a feeling Sorata is going to break his promise with Aoyama to be with Shiina. That's pretty cliche though. I hope this anime can surprise me. |
 |
| He likes the old Shiina better because she was making manga. even staying up late at night to improve her work instead of any other things like cooking and what not. She has a definite goal - to become an artist, unlike him who is still starting out on his goal, and even failing. So when he saw her trying to cook, he didn't like it because that would mean to him that she's no longer focusing on her ambition to be an artist. He's envious of her I crie everytiem |

He's envious of her Wish more people got this, i already said what i think of his snapping at the end but prior to it i think this is exactly why he prefers the old Shiina, he never heard her "confession" due to the plane (at least i don't think he did), so he views her like he always did, and if you don't add romance to the equation its only natural that he doesn't prefer her change, he sees it as she is slacking on her goal when he is failing to meet his, he is jealous of her and feels she is wasting her chance, a chance he is struggling to ever get. Jealousy isn't meant to look nice, but its entirely believable, given the circumstances. |

Why is this cliche? It would be my first time seeing this. Maybe I don't know enough animes. Where does this also happen? This happens in like almost every romance anime ever. The MC becomes a block head. Makes a promise with another girl that he doesn't even like. Screws everything up when he breaks that promise to go with the girl he love/likes. Then its like a episode to two episode conflict about love or something on the lines of that. |
| Well... It was a slow start for the seccond half. The fanservice was ok. The pace was SO slow And the OP/ED are not as good as the previous ones.... We'll see what happens un cristmas |
eminagnam said: I meant his actions, I didn't actually mean he was a jerk. Damn it, wrong typing again.AnimeHAwk616 said: Though that doesn't justify the fact he was a jerk,. Give the devil his due. I don't think he was a jerk. He cares for her, which is why he scolded her like parents did their children. Parents, who failed as children, sometimes scold their children to not take wrong paths. He is not her parent, yet he has been a kind of her caretaker at Sakurasou. Also, as Noriko said to Touko in Mariasama ga Miteru, a true friend has to say harsh things according to circumstances if s/he really cares for his/her friends. |
| Well, what now? Will sorata keep his promise? I hope he apologizes from Shiina. God damn i hate you Sorata. You're an ass.(and fool off course) |
| Poor Shiina, I'm a lil annoyed at Sorata being a jerk right now, but still, I can understand his frustration, living in a place full of geniuses actually makes one feel under a lot of pressure, If I were in his shoes, I'd probably act like that, too. Get snapped and vent out my anger at sb. else for no reason. I know it's completely our fault. Anyway, I wonder if Sorata will realize the mistake he made and fix it ( probably would). |

amginex said: we have not seen Mashiro jealous yet Correction: We haven't seen enough emotional responses as strong as the ones from the last two episodes. That being said, I am excited! And for those hating on our poor protagonist, remember Kimi Ni Todoke! At the moment, I'm 99% sure he can't see himself as Mashiro's lover because he either hasn't thought about it or doesn't feel he can put himself next to Mashiro due to their ability difference. In either case, I'm 100% sure our poor rival girl is going to be disappointed come Christmas, but, hopefully, she understands the undeniable connection between the two. Mashiro, go for your happy ending! And more smiling! |

| Not-so-bad ep. Dunno why but I'm starting not to enjoy this... I hope it's just this ep. New OP/ED song is nice, but the visuals don't fit it... especially the OP~ |
| i have a strange feeling that i wont like the last half of this show and it saddens me :( |
   |
You people are pissing me the fuck off. Why don't you think about Sorata's emotions, and put yourself in his place? If you can't see where he's coming from, and why he is frustrated, you haven't been paying attention to the show. Yea, Shiina's cute. But please think with your head, instead of your dick. |
 |
| I don't get these people getting bothered about Sorata yelled at Mashiro. I understand what he feels on that scene. Anyway, this episode is okay for me. I prefer the 1st OP and ED more than the 2nd OP and ED. |
 |
Shih said: Sorata breaking Shiina. Well, it's not completely not understandable. He wants that Shiina who totally relies on him. I don't think Sorata viewed Shiina as a potential girlfriend before. Now Shiina feels like she is growing up, it is giving him this mix feeling which worries him(?) I think it irritates him that a talent like Shiina would slack off for something silly, not suited for her like cooking while he failed and failed and failed no matter how hard he tried. I know that feeling well.... |
