THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh God, that beginning scene @ the infirmary. Lol, this face cracked me up: ![]() I kinda found Ai and her personality a bit annoying to watch this episode. I guess being a hall monitor means a lot of responsibilities. I do see a girly side to her though and hell, I think she and Himeka could become good friends :p ![]() |
I have a split opinion of Ai. On one hand she's a pretty funny character and kinda cute, but she's also pretty annoying when she starts screaming for an unnecessary length of time. Also, lol @ Himeka at the beginning! I liked this episode, it was pretty fun to watch for the most part. ![]() |
Haven't read the LNs but the manga is much more fun. Got to see a lot more of Himeka, not sure chapters 21-23 are scanlated yet. I'm reading in Japanese as usual. All caught up to the monthly Gangan Joker so obviously this is based on the LNs. Still fun but when you see chapter 21 and 22 you'll see how much more fun it could have been, Himeka really goes all out! The manga is much more ecchi, the anime is family friendly I guess... ![]() Modified by hpulley, Feb 16, 2013 9:49 AM |
I think after watching this episode that Ai definitely has potential to be my fav...there were some parts were she was a little annoying with her forced tsundereness but when she acts Dere she's freakin cute! <3 Kaoru's thoughts were exactly like mine...girls can be troublesome XD...if only she was honest with herself she'd easily be the cutest imo. Also loved the part at the beginning...Hime was cute and funny there. She's a lovable character too :) ![]() |
I love how Kaoru has everything figured out all the time Lol, Ai's an idiot, pretty cute in her own way though. See this is why I don't like shows where every heroine is likable, because I always feel bad for the ones that don't get chosen :P Although an open ending or harem ending are even worse.. ![]() If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
Ai-chan is best girl and if you disagree then you're wrong. Well, she's better then the cunt, chihuahua, and chuunibyou. ![]() |
I'm not disappointed with Himeko. At least I'm over the point of worrying that she's not going to add a single thing to the show. In my opinion, not the best episode out there. Ai, however.. She's annoying me a bit, and I really hope that this act of her will change.. It probably will, so you don't have to start telling me that. There's probably a backstory there that would make you want to say 'You don't even know what you're talking about, rs.' Well, I don't and I'll see. Thank you for your concern though. ![]() |

I will not acknowledge your opinion! I still consider Himeka the best. (¬‿¬) Himeka all the way !!! Though Chiwa is cute too... I might have to do a School Days ending... ![]() |
kenshin_sama said: I agree with this. I really do like her character. She's smart and cute, but she is also really annoying when she starts screaming like a banshee. Himeka was also really funny in this episode - especially in the beginning with her "first time" and at the end when she asked Ai about her "boyfriend".I have a split opinion of Ai. On one hand she's a pretty funny character and kinda cute, but she's also pretty annoying when she starts screaming for an unnecessary length of time. Also, lol @ Himeka at the beginning!

This new girl is tedious, she has one personality trait and they just ramp it up to eleven. It's Character Exaggeration to the max, and it's rather annoying. On another note, I'm not sure what I hate more in a harem, when the girl likes the protagonist for no reason (like Pink) or if the reason is so pitiful it's a sad excuse for a plot (Hime). I think that I'll go for the pitiful reason being worse, since the show is just making excuses. My favourite character is now the male lead's best friend, because he's actually not a tool, yet still nice. I feel sorry for him, why does he have no love interests? oh wait, the reason's obvious. Sucks to be the non main character. Still, better than last episode, and for that I'm grateful. ![]() |
ihateeveryone said: If you ask me, Ai is worse than the other girls because she hides behind lies and is willing to cheat to try and get what she wants, even if cheating won't guarantee her the outcome she wants... What a joke.Ai-chan is best girl and if you disagree then you're wrong. Well, she's better then the cunt, chihuahua, and chuunibyou. Natsukawa blackmailed Eita but it's not like he suffered badly, he even got a girlfriend out of it. Chiwa has only good sides to her and is loyal. She hides embarrassing things but so does Eita... Hime may be using Eita to enjoy life more, but you could also say she's willing to be a mistress of his since she knows he already has a girlfriend. So he get's a harem out of the deal... can't go wrong with a girl who's willing to be a part of a harem! :) ![]() ![]() |
Well to be honest Masuzu is still my favourite girl in this series, I like Ai too though I hate the other two girls ![]() ![]() |
"A-chan" is one strange person or ass backwards, pick one and run with it. lol YBK what part had me dying so random ![]() |
Really, Ai is the less liked girl in this series. I would call her character type tsuntere(which is my favorite type of tsundere charas) but all her lying is really annoying. And she is not funny for me. ![]() |
I would like a positive ending for either Masuzu or Ai. But for me, Kaoru is still the prettiest. LOL ![]() ![]() |
She is more stuck up than I thought. Really have mixed feelings for the girls now... I guess Hime is the best since she doesn't really complain. ![]() Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |

Did the show just forgo the formalities on this one and just go "yeh okay she just likes him because he's MC-kun" and didn't bother to think up a reason? Lazy. are you stupid ? they are gonna tell us later , you talk like she was introduced from the first episode . nitpicking in a harem anime.....geezz ![]() |

Noooooooo I didn't want it to turn into a harem where all 4 girls are competing of Eita's love. It was fine with just the first two. Chiwa and Masuzu. But dammit this is still an ongoing light novel. Eita won't chose a girl by the end of these 13 episodes ![]() |
tsudecimo said: Yeah, the whole tsundere act was for comedy. They're most likely going to give us an explanation later, or else that would be a very short character arc.ihateeveryone said: tsudecimo said: InfiniteRyvius said: So why does she like him again?

But the MC had a flash back of watching fireworks with a girl, so maybe that was her??? And maybe she was the one who asked him out in kindergarten?? I've seen the whole memory loss of childhood friend so many times, so I'm guessing they're childhood friends, but he forgot about it, and seeing her after many years, doesn't recognize her. ![]() |

Hey, many harems don't bother to given reasons, the characters just do and you're supposed to accept that. That said, I'm sure this will series may bother to give us a reason, although, if Hime is anything to go by, the reason shall be shite. No, really. Like, the romance between him and Chiwa is a case of "childhood friends always fancy the protagonist" and for white-haired-san, she's falling for him simply because she's remained in his presence for a long time, that's not really a reason is it? No really, it's not is it? ![]() |
This episode gave me more of a generic romcom vibe rather than something 'different'. The first few episodes with only Masuzu and Chiwa felt 'different' but Himeka randomly in bed is well, down to ep01 of OniiAi level. Then we had a blatant love bento yet the MC was as dense as ever! That said, harem admittedly is not my preferred genre and I watch this because of the seiyuu cast. Harem aside, the placing of foreshadowing with little hint of following up is rather odd. Masuzu's family affairs seem to come and then disappear as if nothing happened and I see highly subtle hints with Ai only because I've read spoilers. ![]() Hyouka and real-life Takayama comparison blog: Completed 31/10/2015 http://hyoukaorigination.blogspot.com/ Aria the Animation and real-life Venice comparision blog: http://veniceorigination.blogspot.com |

No really, it's not is it? To be fair, the anime cut out A LOT of stuff. Hime's reason isn't that unbelievable if they bothered to actually give more screentime. And Chiwa fell in love because MC swore he'd become a doctor to cure her. And Masuzu's reason will be revealed later. ![]() |
InfiniteRyvius said: its true the reasons for this anime are quite lackluster, however they can still be considered reasons, opposed to "no reason at all" as you were implying with how Ai suddenly falls in love with him. Also, does development not count as a reason? You can generally say masuzu falling for him was mainly due to "development", which I think counts as a reason, even if it wasn't done very well.Hey, many harems don't bother to given reasons, the characters just do and you're supposed to accept that.

Ugh, I wish it was still a 1v1 between Chiwa and Masuzu. These new girls are mildly interesting but they totally detract from the fun I had before they came. There's a fine line between tsundere and childish. Ai is treading on that line very well. Ai, I remember when I was 5 and heard my classmates bragging about their fake boyfriends/girlfriends. ![]() |

So I don't understand why someone wants to know something, which is obviously not important. Why is it not important? Unless you are just accepting the fact that it's a mediocre harem and so of course all the girls will love the MC, an explanation of why the girls fall for the protagonist hardly seems unnecessary. Isn't it a fundamental part of the story? Then again, it is actually just a mediocre harem, so I suppose no, it's not really necessary, I just want to express the fact I dislike the whole "girls are like starved lions for MC's dick" harem theme.

But I guess like you said, we're just supposed to accept it. Fair enough, some of the points you make are spot on, however I do not agree with all of them. First of all, White-haired-san seemed to be unusually attached to someone she didn't actually like to start with, and her romantic feelings for him (which have been fed to the audience, you can't have not noticed) also appeared quickly despite the fact that really, he hasn't done much to warrant a change in attitude. All of the noble white knight shit he's done (which would usually be the cause) has actually been against what she has wanted, or at the very least not aiming to protect her. This "development" does not feel genuine, but more like something that simply happens due to the increased episode count. I feel I'm beating a dead horse because this is a harem, and so contrived romantic development is practically inevitable, but even so, I still do not feel bored of pointing it out. I complain so much because I really detest this show because it's at best a mediocre harem anime, but it's really pretentious and that annoys me. ![]() |
