The guy's start to work. His sister didn't make it.

Taking care of this stubborn sempai pair. And the past story of three of them.

4 years limit to get sempai girl back, nice promise.

Oh, no. Sakurasou no more?

Poor Yuuko. Life is tough at times.

Nice flashback, but Sorata has a short temper: he is nosey, rude and aggressive. He and Mashiro are a good couple...both each have problems. Jin was very manly in this episode, but IMO Misaki is likely to get a new bf in four years. Frailty, thy name is woman.

That overall became Ryuunosuke.

Shocking news in the end. Where will they go? Can't wait for next episode.

Was never interested in any relationship of the show honestly. I just found it entertaining to watch every week. It's extremely obvious that Sorata going to end up with Mashiro

Finally we see Jin and Misaki come together after a very roundabout process of dealing with their own insecurities. I found the whole thing to be somewhat frustrating, but I have to admit, when it was actually resolved I was kind of touched and very happy. This series actually executes emotional scenes very well. Kudos for that.

But now that's all over with, at least we'll get the last 6 episodes to settle Mashiro vs. Aoyama. Kind of surprised that Sakurasou is going to be dismantled, but they'll find a way to stay together. I'm wondering what the next season will be though, because I'm pretty sure there's going to be material left even after this 24 episode season. Are new people going to come in to replace Gin and Misaki now that I think they'll be away?

PLAN B, PLAN C. Oh Mashiro, so adorable.

Wow, some issues going around with Jin and Kanda-kun. Fucking fist fight on the roof, classic. That was actually pretty funny to watch with Jin being a tough guy there. Still though, I think Kanda is only trying to talk some sense into him. That's what makes him a good friend there so of course he gives a shit.

The episode was pretty good imo. Misaki is adorable as a little girl.

Anyways, glad to see everything resolved for now although it looks like Sakurasou is facing some other issues...

Best episode so far.

Love Misaki so much, glad she finally resolved her issues. I almost shed a tear when Jin put that ring on her finger. They are by far the best couple in the show.

Also that plot twist after the credits...omg.

5/5 for this ep easily.

Indeed. And LOL at Sorata being brutal, the exchange was almost like:

Yuuko: Why didn't I pass?
Sorata: Isn't it obvious? you're too dumb, that's why.

______

BTW, I'm surprised Sorata managed to land a couple punches, his last fight with Jin wasn't really a fight and he was K.O. in an instant.

Man, great episode. I found it funny 1 junior male, and 2 junior females were able to hold that door for that long against 4 adults, but locking them on the roof was funny. Glad to see things getting resolved with misaki and Jin. And wow, Jin is a good fighter. Beating up 3 guys in that flashback. I'm actually surprised Kanda landed a few hits. And shit, Misaki throw a giant bolder at someone. Damn, she is so good at snowball fights

If you think about it, it was more of 1 junior male vs 1 adult. A second person has poor leverage on a small door and the rest just get in the way. XD

I don't understand why it matters that Jin sucks at writing scripts and she's awesome at anime. He needs to get over his mediocrity. He may still suck after 4 years in college. Then what... Make her wait longer in hopes he gets better. Plus in 4 years she will keep improving and he might never catch up.

I think it's more about potential rather than comparison. I doubt he cares if misaki is way ahead of him, or is still evolving. He just wants to establish a relationship where they can work together without holding her back. I wouldn't look at it as just an inferiority complex, but rather that he's doing this just to let her reach a higher goal, without constraints from his crappy script. Imo,mhe's just looking to create a better relationship. Jin has taken it as a personal challenge to improve his script writing, which is why he's going to a different university. Now he is completely focused on improving that, whithout misaki distracting him, so Im sure he believes he will improve atleast enough to meet what misaki desires. However, it's possibly true that he does want to improve himself so that he's not completely overshadowed, but i disbelieve his feeling of inferiority is all his reasoning

Great episode, Jin has many faults but I'm glad they gave reasoning for them. It doesn't take away my initial opinion that what he did to Misaki for all those years was wrong but it also adds the element that they were both in the wrong, since Misaki was as oblivious as Sorata was (which of course will never be mentioned since Sorata's denseness is hated upon but for Misaki it's ok).

For people complaining about the inferiority complex's don't act as if you are perfect either, they need to give the character's faults otherwise it would be boring. Is Jin dumb for making Misaki wait? Well sure, isn't it completely unreasonable that he thinks such a way? Not really...i mean think about it, if the person he likes is that much superior then him unless he had no pride what so ever (which would be worse...) then of course he would feel inferior, it's a natural feeling...If anything It's great that he wants to better himself, he just went a little wrong in how he did it is all.

Seems we will get the Nanami drama after the Sakurasou deal, since it's clear as day what the results of her audition will be, i wonder though why Nanami fan's get upset about a pairing that never had a chance in the first place...

Jin and Misaki finally made up! That 4-year promise reminds me a lot of Bakuman haha. :) It was great to see flashbacks of Misaki and Jin. So Jin actually liked Misaki but she was such a dense and highly energetic girl at the time. Fuuka liked Jin and they decided to 'go out' but Fuuka was really a replacement for Misaki to Jin. The scene with Jin fighting Sorata was very touching but I lol'd so hard at the 'Hey Shiina... I can almost see your panties.' xD

I'm quite sure Jin was frustrated too. Considering as how he would sometimes direct his frustration towards sorata, and what he said during the fight. However, I agree that he definitely could have handled the situation better

Okay episode. A little melodramatic with the flashback essentially re-showing us stuff we already knew.


It doesn't really matter that he sucks at writing scripts. That's just the symptom. He needs to make his own path, which he can't do as long as he's tied to her and writing underwhelming scripts for her instead of developing himself. Staying there, being a flawed reflection of her, is what will keep him stuck on a track with her. Spending four years developing himself in a place geared to help push him forward will do a lot for him. It's been his weakness that has kept him at her side and stagnant for years.

For what it's worth, the whole 'catch-up' thing that this show goes on about is irritating. Jin can't catch up to Misaki any more than Kanda can catch up to Shiina. They're not on the same trajectory. There is no 'catching up' for them to do. They both need to chart their own course and develop their own talents. Jin has realised this and has taken action. Kanda seems to be working along the same lines, having finally acquired a modicum of ambition.


Didn't like the flashback. While I'm opposed to them in general, I liked this one less than most. It was unpleasant to see Fuuka being treated like used kleenex, again. At least as Jin grew older, he moved on to women who wouldn't care deeply enough about him to be hurt.

Of course, the nature of the flashback didn't help, as it casually mixed their perspectives into a thin and runny gruel. The one sort of interesting bit that came out of it was that he was very much in love with Misaki first. That sort of reminded me of Kimi ni Todoke.

Well, it's not so much that he'll catch up. Even Misaki admitted that Jin's scripts weren't good enough. Keeping Misaki by his side is only going to foreclose any opportunity to advance his own abilities. Jin isn't completely untalented in his own right despite his lack of confidence, so he only needs a opportunity to develop. The way he's gone about this business was stupid to say the least, but the reasoning is understandable.

Think about it this way. If he never gets the chance to improve himself, he'll be stuck in this inferiority cycle forever. It's better to lose those 4 years, devote himself to getting better, and then come back to spend the rest of his life with her as more of a complete, confident person. Those 4 years are going to suck, but at least they're now committed to one another. The ring and whatnot.

The LN isn't written with two relationship endings though? The anime would be building on nothing, not to mention how there'd be no connect to a potential season 2.

I don't think this show is going to have a season 2. Pretty sure 2 cour and it's done. The release of the last episode (episode 24) lines up with or is close to the final release of the LN. And really, how much more material do you have to work with? Jin and Misaki is pretty much wrapped and now you just have to deal with the obvious pairing of Mashiro and Sorata.

Yeah you are right that the LN isn't written with 2 different endings but that's what an OVA episode is for, to essentially please both sides of the ship. I mean Clannad is diff in that it's based on a VN but Sakurasou is also getting a VN (Vita and PSP) so I bet you could go different routes in that.

Anime logic: Don't worry if you fucked the older sister for a couple of years, the younger one won't mind and will probably accept you anyways. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, make sure you're a complete moron towards the girl, because she will still love you anyway, it's not like she has any friends that will make her forget about you and start looking for a much better match for her.

God, this series has the worst characters ever .. their interactions are what make the show good, but damn it they suck so much.
