C'mon man, sena?

yeah, because taking pictures secretly and sticking them in her room, sniffing wig while pleasuring herself is perfectly not gross.

This episode really show me how underappreciated yozora is.
Even though maybe unintended , she really changed the other characters to the better.
-Sena become more honest to herself.
-Take maria out of her shell.
-If yukimura is indeed a girl , making her cosplay as a girl maybe will make her accept that she is a girl not a boy

it kinda pain me , from the direction it takes and sena's popularity , it looks like it'll be SenaxKodaka. sigh
When will childhood friend win dammit.

Not really - it's the effect of Yozora being the main 'thread' of plot development. Kodaka is the narrator, and Yozora is the one that starts activities hence pushes and binds the plot along, since she assumed the role of club founder. Sena is the catalyst in many a relationships whilst Rika is the sometimes sharp observer.

Now that doesn't necessarily mean she's the main girl per se, just that inevitably, she becomes somewhat of the 2nd centre of thing aside from Kodaka. If you draw a map of all the relationships developed between character's so far, whilst there's strong links between Kodaka and Sena, Sena's link to other characters aside from Yozora is rather weak. On the other hand, Yozora has an influence on Maria, Yukimura and some camaraderie to Rika.

Don't believe Sena needs to come out more - she is forthright to begin with, though her narcissism is her main flaw, and nwo with hints of masochism is an interesting combo. Same applies to Yozora who's sadist streaks contradicts with her occasional innocence (in relation to love, eroticism etc). It is these contradictory traits that gives the impression of depth to these characters. I used impression because whilst being a novelty, it is yet to be seen if these an be crafted into the plot line plausibly.

Rika looking visually more stunning in that scene then the norm. Definitely liked her look as Kodaka so well put the words in place.


I was so looking forward to hearing Sena say those words and right at the moment it was getting to it the eye-catch interrupts and knocking down my expectation... That last scene felt a bit flat in comparison with the pace of the first 20 minutes but understandably it was for character developing between Kodaka & Yozora.

pretty sure within this anime she isn't necessarily gross in comparison to some creepy people from that very club, and a certain crazy nun who farts in public and bluntly states it.

Yozora and Kodaka have been friends since they are kids, I'm not buying this naive thinking of "they don't know when to consider someone a friend" especially between the two of them. If Yozora or Sena are just honest to themselves, this wouldn't even be a question.

I'd give Rika benefit of the doubt though considering the way she live up until she joined the club.

Lol. All dem girls be annoyed when Kodaka complimented on Rika's new look. Gonna be fun to see the rest of Rika's outfits be animated.

Yozora is getting soft. I also never thought Yozora would be naive enough to believe what Rika says about friends having to kiss.

LAWL WHAT. There's no way my dick can be this cute? Weirdest way to interject a cameo.

Dat Gainaxing from Sena. Kind of disturbing to play a game with a character that looks like Kobato getting banged and Kodaka is right there...

Nooooo!! Why did they censor it!?! That would have been so awesome!

Kate is as rude and not-very-sisterlike as I thought she'd be, haha.

In case you didn't realize, Yozora has always been sensitive to topic of love & sex. Her reaction is fairly normal for her especially she has a rather idealistic view on 'friendship' as experienced in the past - namely when two young people become good friends for the first time, none of the second guessing/pretence/fights/power struggles etc that comes later - for she never experienced the same friendship since. She was afraid that being boxed in as a friend precludes kissing, which she obviously desires on a physical level, and Rika's BL show sort of cleared her concern (even though it is not quite true :)).

And before someone goes on about why wouldn't Yozora consider a romantic relationship as an upgrade to friendship, you need to understand her view of friendship - the one person that you value more than 1000 others, has the kind of commitment of a relationship going beyond normal friendship. She is unable to even consider romance as a separate route given her sensitivity to the topic. Whilst it appears she's 'stuck' in the friendship mode, it's due to her wrong interpretation.

Inevitably people will again query if Yozora is so 'innocent', what's which her viciousness when dealing with Sena and rape etc. It is explained (not in anime) that she being the loner, is fairly well versed in the online neta world, and is familiar with the tropes of the average teenage going-ons on message boards etc. Cell phone novels involving rape and other outrageous contents are very prevalent amongst current Japanese teenage girls. Yozora being the recluse and without any social conditioning, simply took those and applied wholesale. (similar to how her fashion sense comes from magazines, she reads, remembers, and applies, without really understanding the ramifications).

Kate is suppose to be the most beautiful girl in Kodaka's mind. URGH, why can't there be more inner dialogue in anime like in Haruhi!?? The Male Protags are completely unrelatable like this!

Rika is the most compatible with Kodaka, I found

Hmm... Not in the novel, I don't remember her looking like Erio, but it would make sense why you would think so, as they are designed by the same person.

Anyways, Erio is super pretty, she is so amazingly moe it's unfunny.

I guess Anime only she looks like Erio. I know it's the same person making the series but I am not sure it was his design if it was it makes sense the person wants somewhat of a Erio figure in the series. However Sena rivals Erio easily just with her chest. Now with the MOE upgrades she is a little more on PAR.

That's the feelings I am getting so far from the series in this season.

No fucking way, sorry, but I just see Sena as far inferior to Erio in terms of Moe. I can see why people get excited about her, but I just don't see her as super special, though maybe later on.

Maria DOES look like the astrololi from Denpa Onna though, why would Buriki do that though?

I liked Erio far more than Sena :p

It might just be because that I like somewhat strange girls

UGH, Sena is too sexy also, I am torn.

I love Kate, but her story was lost. In the light novel:

Kodaka's first impressoins:

She might even be a match for the rest of the Neighbors Club.

While reeling in shock form her aura, I took a good look at her―― It felt like I might start ogling her any minute if I didn't stop.

There was an amazingly beautiful girl in front of me.

She was pretty young too―― I think she might even be the same age as me.

Her silver hair shone in the dusk sunlight.

As did her clear blue eyes.

She was right between "cute" and "beautiful", and her face was so sublime it was like the embodiment of the ideal face for a teenage girl.

She was wearing a sister outfit of course, but you could easily tell she had a beautiful pair of legs, a thin waist, and just the right size boobs.

She looked like she was from Northern Europe, the same as Maria. Actually, I think Maria might end up looking like this miracle super-dreadnought class pretty girl in another 7 years or so.


What a shame it wasn't mentioned

And Here's the dialogue I liked:



"The main idea behind rock and roll is to fight the system. Even Christianity started by rebelling against the ideas of the time~ I don't think it's really all that weird."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It started with them going 'No, the way you do things is weird.' and opposing the main sect of Judaism. Then, little Jesus of Nazareth created his own sect of Judaism called the Jesus sect. After that, it started to get called Christianity instead~"

She just called Christ "little Jesus"...

I don't know about any other sisters besides Maria, but even I can tell that the one in front of me is a weirdo.

"That's how it all started, which means that Christianity isn't really a religion based on being obedient girls and boys at all. It was more of an extreme rock group than anything. Back in those days, you'd get done in if you didn't resist, so it's only natural it turned out the way it did."

"Oh...?"

"You know about that famous 'If you're hit on the right cheek, then offer them the other' thing right? That wasn't originally some lame 'violence is bad' message, but was actually meant to say 'Even if you can't physically resist violence against you, never give in' and mock your enemy with as if to say 'That it? I've still got another cheek here.' while facing them head on.' That's the general feeling it used to have, apparently."

"Little Jesus really was a rockin' guy, wasn't he?"

"You know it! He was totally awesome!"

The sister showed me a tender smile.

"But, well, even though I say that, I do think that the peace and harmony the priests advocate is good. It's not like I support violence or war though, and I don't think constantly trying to rebel against society is a good thing either. It's just, I don't think there's any need to always be an obedient little sheep is all."

"...I see."

I gave a meek nod in return.

I didn't really want anything to do with her when she called out to me at first, but that was a pretty interesting story.
