THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Seems like the show continues to follow the romance path right now. Oh Hakaze you silly and cute little girl. Dem thoughts.

Oh and more flashbacks? Heh, I guess it makes sense since Aika is one of the main protagonist of the series. Meh episode overall. Some cute scenes here and there. Oh and I think Hakaze is exaggerating a bit, especially regarding Yoshiro.

Oh shit and secret is out?? Wow.

3/5.

I knew they were going to end episode with those 2 scenes, in the manga Hanemura said that in chapter 26 while Yoshino told Hakaze in chapter 22 (Yoshino and Hakaze were in a bed) but it made sense to join these two.

WHY DID THEY STOP THE SCENE WHEN WE FINALLY WERE GOING TO SEE AIKA AND YOSHINO KISSING?

As usual, next episode seems to follow the manga but I saw a couple of anime original parts and with different arrangements. We will finally see a truly angry Yoshino.

A really well put together episode, the combination of comedy, drama, and character introspection were woven together excellently. Oh my god the speculation of Yoshino's girlfriend by Mahiro, Samon, Jun and Hanemura was roflmao worthy. Teacher, Big Boobs, Lolita, Nurse and even a cafeteria lady? Hanemura once again being able to see the situation objectively pieces together who the only possibility could be. Hakaze dere as usual just came out with it which was surprising, I thought Yoshino would just pick up on it but nope she was just blunt with it.

I wonder what happens next episode as it looks like in the episode Hakaze and Yoshino have a fight and seperate

Poor Hakaze. I feel so bad for her, loving someone who is still very much in love with his dead girlfriend. As much as I want Hakaze to find love I don't think she will find it with Yoshino. He is way too emotionally unavailable.

I did love how Hakaze was fighting with herself over her feelings for Yoshino in the water. It was almost like the writers were having fun with people complaining that the show was turning into a "love comedy."

LOL at all those suggestions...=_= they're a weird bunch, that's for sure. I wonder why they changed the setting where Yoshino and Hakaze were having the conversation, not that it's a big deal. I just wonder why. It's funny how Hanemura seems like the most out of it out of the Mahiro, Samon, and Junichirou, but he's pretty perceptive :) And yay, we get to see angry Yoshino next episode!

The milking of who Yoshino's girlfriend is finally over thank god. Them sitting around throwing out idea's of who his gf could be and not one person thinking it could be Aika had me pulling hairs. Thank you Hanemura for finally stating the obvious.

Hopefully things can get back to being serious business as i feel that suits this show much more than the romcom it has been these past few episodes.

The more I watch it the more I like this show. This episode was not an exception.
Yoshino & Aika together made a great couple and their conversations are done really well so I don't mind all those flashbacks. Not to mention they add to the mystery if Yoshino really is mage of exodus, though somehow I doubt that.

Really looking forward to seeing where this goes now that Mahiro knows (or at least suspects) about previously mentioned two being a couple.

Nothing really happens but again it was entertaining.

The conversation between the 4 guys trying to figure out who the girlfriend is was hilarious. LOLI? LUNCH LADY? BOOBS? MARRIED?

Then the idiot comes up with the answer somehow nobody expected ....

While Hakaze admits her feelings after acting weird around him. He tells her who it was?

What a mess over one girl.

Still he didn't turn down Hakaze. How could he? She's been great lately. It still might be hard for him to get over Aika.

I highly doubt Yoshino is the mage of Exocus. IMO the mage of Exodus is Aika. With all the flashbacks and talk of her constantly the more I'm convinced she is NOT dead. I'm sure it's possible if she was the mage she could have faked her death and caused this whole mess.

I like Aika, but I like Yoshino with Hakaze more.

Lol pretty much this in full. Wasn't that great of an ep, or that bad, I had to skip the flashbacks as honestly I loath them. And hooray Brother finally figured it out! And now everyone knows he loves a dead girl. I think I'll read the manga for this see if I can confirm some of what I'm thinking will happen.

Nvm on the manga seems to be in the same place -_-

This was a great episode. I love the flashbacks...they give us a little bit more depth in Yoshino and Aika's relationship.
Finally they found out that those two were dating u.u. Things are going down :3
Hakaze is hilarious with her conflicting inner thoughts xD
Hanemura finally said what no one even dared to bring up u.u
Can't wait to see the next episode!!! >////<

Dont make the fans of this show look like a pack of jackasses dude, cause thats what you are doing

Also i think next ep all the characters are going to start conflicting with the other, that black haired guy gives me very bad vibes, samon and junichiro seem to be wild card, hanamura looks like he might snap soon(next ep), hakaze and yoshino look like they go their seperate ways and mahiro and yoshino look like they may conflict with the other.

All i have to say is this has got so much more interesting than it has been these past 5 weeks

obviously, the story knows what it's doing or what it has been doing.. there is so much mention of Love-Comedy in this ep and its elements that they're intentionally doing it.. we got a girl hopelessly in love, a couple with a seriously good chemistry in their conversations (only on flashbacks though), some other guys speculating some female stereotypes, the straightforward and awkward confession, and finally, the revelation of one's girlfriend to other characters.. and yet unlike other Love-Comedy shows, that last reveal and them finding out the most plausible answer to the identity of the girlfriend is so weighty that their world is actually at risk.. yes, we the viewers all knew who she is all along but that piece of information for the characters would totally wreck everything as the preview is suggesting.. i just love how this show changes the way it presents itself and still manages to make a lot of mundane scenes or actions into that one moment where i would tremble at the thought..

Aika and Yoshino > World ..
this seemingly harmless couple, who secretly spends their valentine's under the snowy night just blurting out whatever about their relationship in the sweetest and yet coldest manner, are the most untrustworthy characters..

God, that discussion over Yoshino's GF! The secret is finally out, I WANT MOAR! I can't help but imagine the fight between Yoshino and Mahiro. Recently, I thought a bit about the story surrounding Aika's "death". For instance, lets say the Tree of Zetsuden doesn't have control over the separation of it's mage's heart & magic. And lets also say that Aika is the actual Mage of Zetsuden. She, fully aware of this at young age, thought of a plan on destroying all chances of the Tree of Genesis's revival. She decided to pull some strings(with magic) and pulled herself into Mahiro's family, to use him in her plan, but then here comes YOSHINO! At the time, she wasn't fully aware of him, but when she did learn of him... she made a change and decided to use him, to control Yoshino(as the manga did say that the 2 were somewhat like the other half of the other). In through this process she waited till she was able to fully control them in a way, and used MAGIC to fake her death, to help begin where our story started. She eventually came to learn over time that... well her plan failed. So she went took Hanamura as her BF in order to cause some ruckus(by giving him her magic) and still keep herself hidden, also learning that people desired the Tree of Genesis to disappear, she eventually succeeds, and the world is reset. But she has more in mind, she plans on awakening the Tree of Zetsuden finally, with all the pieces currently within the Tree. Hakaze, and the others learn of this, and head-in. And they are met by... Aika. Though this is a bit rough, I think our writer knows exactly how to play it using her. He even told us that Hanamura is doing this whole Superhero thing just to get his GF back! Massive foreshadowing! Even the fact that her "death" was caused by MAGIC at the beginning. I can't help but sense the ending of Aika really just manipulating everything in her favor.

At the end it is still up to the apparently most naive external observer, Hanemura, to point out the most incisive insight, just like he did when he pointed out Mahiro's siscon complex.

all in all it was a great episode.

at first i wasn't sure if aika really felt the same way for yoshino because she's always so mysterious and all the time it seems like she's playing her own game. but during that episode i was really making sounds like "awww" because it seemed like she really, really liked him. but that makes it even sadder that she's dead.

and i also wasn't sure what to think about megumu. but during that episode i started to like him. the way he was looking at mahiro, junichirou and samon while they were discussing about yoshinos's girlfriend made me laugh :D he was like a character during a musical episode - you know, this one character who's confused why everyone's singing. anyway. i liked it that he was the only one who thought about aika. well done, megumu.

but two things were bothing me.
1) i didn't like how hakaze were thinking that she needs yoshino. i was literally sighing. to fall in love with someone is one thing, but to need them is something totally different. it felt way too rushed.
2) i also really hated how mahiro was talking about killing yoshino. of course it's obvious that they're not typical best friends, but killing yoshino? seriously? i hope mahiro was just acting cool because i don't like the idea that he would easily kill yoshino.

Great episode. I absolutely love it. Still, the more I watch the more it dawns on me. It really doesn't look like there'll be a Hakaze x Yoshino at the end, and I don't mean this season, I mean this entire series. Of course, the manga hasn't ended and something can still happen, but even without reading the manga, the flow simply doesn't feel like there's any setup for them being a couple. The more we see the more bond we see of Aika and Yoshino. It's far more likely, in fact, that Yoshino will choose to remain single. But I'm okay with this in a sense, because I would hate for them to force a coupling between Yoshino and Hakaze.

In other news, it looks like they're pulling on the strings they've put out in the last 3-4 episodes. Hakaze confessing and Mahiro realizing Yoshino's girlfriend might be Aika. Score.

I take it to mean that to Mahiro, finding the killer of Aika trumps EVERYTHING.

that's true. i know mahiro is kind of selfish and that's fine. actually that's something i really love about him. so yeah.

I think there is more to the girlfriend mystery than meets the eye. Hanemura is the person who pointed it out, but seriously why did no one else think of it up to this point? She would seem to be a logical candidate, but everyone seemed to totally skip over that thought--almost as if something were preventing them from seeing the obvious. So along comes the new mage of Exodus and suddenly he makes them see the obvious. My guess is that the previous mage had put something in effect that would keep the relationship secret for some reason tied to her plans and the new mage has cancelled that out.

As for who is the new heart, I think there is another scheming candidate available. Someone who has recently bounced back from disgrace...
