| Well, that pissed me off. |
 |
| Rika is best char. And Yusa get owned. |
 |
| Teh fuck Kodaka? Come on now. |
 |
| Holy crap, what an episode! So many good parts. Loved Rika this episode, she's really standing out. That Sena-Yozora tag battle was excellent. Yusa is a bit annoying, but not overly so, and the comedy around her character was awesome. Yukimura casually regretting missing the chance to eliminate a potential enemy... I loled. I can't believe Sena went and said that... I was speachless...Yozora's reaction...Kodaka's panicked "What was that?", as we all knew he would... Just wow. What's gonna happen now? From the looks of things and the scenes in the preview, it looks like he decided he couldn't stay with them any longer now someone at least has laid their feelings on the table, and he can't really play it off any more. Still, his biggest fear essentially is to lose them all, but this way he still ends up losing them...he probably just wants to break it off before anything happens, rather than risk the fallout from not being able to handle this situation well while maintaining his "friendships." Can't wait for the final episode! I hope this ends well. I don't expect it to wrap everything up, but then again I didn't expect a proposal out of Sena...so just goes to show that this show can surprise you! |
Chill77 said: To the people saying he should have confronted her on it, let's bring up a few things: 1) He has not actually chosen any of the girls. He most likely likes Rika a bit more, as the romance between them has been building up far more than the others. If he were to confront Sena, there really wouldn't be any answer that would work. 2) You're trying to tell me that when suddenly confronted with that out of nowhere, it's a pussy move to run? That was pretty much his only option. Saying something like "I'll think about it" doesn't mean I'll think about it. It's the same thing as running away, except with more false hope. When you actually think about it, running was the good thing to do, as now he has time to sort out his own feelings (yeah, he has feelings too, in case you didn't know), and think heavily about what he can possibly do. Keep in mind, when I say it was the good thing to do, I do mean good for everyone, him included. He could have just said "I'm sorry to all of you. I only want to be friends" and leave the club altogether. But then again, when you're put on the spot, you don't really have time to think about things. You have to make a split second decision, but I guess you guys are all able to do find the best decision and make it in a heart beat really easily. Congratulations to you then. That's very true. There really is no good response he could have given there. Just resigning to saying he just wanted to be friends would not only hurt Sena, but also crush the hopes of all the other girls before they even confess...harsh. At least now he has a chance to think things through and decide what he wants to do. That's what I'm hoping this next episode will be. Since he's staying away from the group, he'll have a chance to reflect on his own feelings, and talk to those two student council members and hopefully decide on an actual course of action. Here's hoping for some serious Kodaka character development next episode! |
XiaoMio said: The reply of him not hearing Sena's confession is really dissappointing, and seeing Yozora's reaction pains me MUCH! Many people are hoping for a Kodaka x Sena ending, but I'm rooting for YOZORA all the way!! She's way cuter! Other than that, Rika's my favorite! She never seem to bore me in every episode with her constant changing of hairstyle and clothes! I know Kodaka x Rika is impossible, but I do hope Yozora gets it! Maybe deep down I have issues with Popular girls-who-have-it-all, just like Yozora D: I'm Yozora's side too :) |

Yassan said: Did Sena just confessed?! I can't- To think about it, being in Kodaka's place is really difficult (for me, at least). By the time he choose one, friendship (and rinjinbu) will be soon over. Not choosing would just give false hopes. And by saying he just want to be friends is.. good but.. in reality, a pathetic move because it's impossible to stay friends forever with girls who has feelings for you. What I can't believe is that the next episode will be the last. I won't wish for another season, but an episode 13 (or 14) OR an OVA sounds good. Though I think that won't happen, because of the episode 12 preview title (I Have.. Friends), which also implies Kodaka will not choose a girl. (Or so I thought.) -- By the way, it's all Kodaka's choice but if I get to decide which one is for him, it's definitely Yozora. (IF they get together though, I hope Yozora will lessen her tsundereness) Sena, well, there's a lot of fishes in the sea for her! But for Yozora, there's only one Kodaka. I'm for Yozora too :P |
|
| Oh come on Kodaka you how the girls feel about you so face it like a man !! |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Yusa had a horrible intro, but that is often the case with new female characters. What did she even came for? letting out her sexual frustration? Sena was completely inconsiderate to confess before the others while playing playstation. It's good that she has courage, but don't show it in such a situation. Well, Kodaka's reaction wasreally wrong, even though he never experiencex a direct confession before, most males would have messed up in such a situation, but please running away is the thing you should never do. Ah man its so unusual for a guy not to be slightly interested in getting an adorable girlfriend, Rika, Yozora, Sena. Sure it's har choice, but man he ran away, thats just wrong! wrong! WRONG! It's understandable that he wants to stay friends with everyone, but still it seems to be impossible with him as only guy and a number of beautiful girls. If next episode offers a cliffhanger final, I will be seriously depressed. |

| Lol. Sena just blurted it out while being into the game, I think she just thought she was thinking it but accidentally said it out loud. I'm getting seriously tired of Kodaka by now but I hope (and somewhat expect) that next episode will finally get rid of his running away. Can't wait for the next ep. Still, Rika is best girl. |
| what an interesting episode Lol'd at rikka making kodaka read that BL book and recording it xD a yaoi hole~ I think I understand Kodaka, as a teenager when you confront relationship difficulties with friends or a crush all you want to do is run away, but I hope he makes up his mind and accept Sena *^* |
 |
| I was hoping Rika would block the door and wouldn't let Kobaka run away. Though he'd probably jump out of the window in that case. Sena's confession was great. It was totally in her style to do it so nonchallantly. Get your shit together, Kobaka! Sena's feeling are closest to a normal love. Yukimura just admires you, Rika is a flirt and a friend, Kobato loves her An-chan, Yozora...? Well, you've probably been the only friend she ever had before and thus she must have you. But she's a manipulative bitch and didn't really change much. But Sena! Just look how you've changed her from a spoiled princess into this... slightly less spoiled princess which turned out very lovable. Plus she's beautiful (regardless of her boobs). |

Don't you think she let it slip on purpose? Or that was the calmest reaction to slipping a huge secret out I've ever seen. She just went: "Oh, well, that's how it is, I love you and would like to marry you, so I'll repeat it so you hear me well." It was so great how she wasn't ashamed of expressing her feelings in front of the whole club. Courageous Sena FTW! |

Yh I think they did that scene better and clearer in the novels, but Sena didn't actually mean to confess she was just really immersed in the game and didn't realise she was saying it, then afterwards when she realised it she just went along with it since she "was gonna say it sooner or later anyway" |
| was looking forward to seeing reactions to this, lmao Running away like that was pretty terrible, but any other reaction would've been a betrayal of his character. He's not ready. Regardless of how any romantic feelings he has or doesn't have toward her, Sena's boldness is something he has outright said he admires about her. She gets so focused on her game that she starts speaking her mind without really thinking about it, and by the time she realizes it there's no going back. She's embarassed, but she rolls with it because it was the truth. As he once observed, she acts without fear of failure - something he could stand to take a lesson on. Kodaka's reaction is total panic. Not because he dislikes her, but because he feels that the happiness he now enjoys with the Neighbors Club is in a delicate position. He's finally happy and has some actual friends to hang out with, and is afraid of losing that by changing the status quo. If he had reacted by embracing Sena and telling her he felt the same way, some of the group might be able to deal with that (Rika and Yukimura, imo) but it wouldn't go over well with everyone (Yozora and Kobato). Kodaka doesn't like conflict; he doesn't want to go into damage control. He panics, defaults to his tried-and-true "didn't hear what you just said" ploy, and since that obviously wasn't going to fly he does the only other thing he can think of to avoid the situation: literally avoiding it. Not that it's going to buy him much time. Even if he skips club activities and ignores his phone, he has class with Yozora and he kinda lives with Kobato. Worst case scenario, Sena could probably outrun him on foot right there and catch him if she really wanted to. He's put himself in quite an awkward spot. I think what he could use right now is a sincere talk with someone to help him realize he can't cower in the safety of his present forever. He might be comfortable, but it's no way to treat those close to him. Rika could probably do that, since she understands his hesitation, but an outside voice might be better. Maybe that's what the student council president will be doing. linchpin said: well said I was hoping Rika would block the door and wouldn't let Kobaka run away.

Just look how you've changed her from a spoiled princess into this... slightly less spoiled princess which turned out very lovable. Plus she's beautiful (regardless of her boobs). Come to think of it, fleeing out the window would've been oddly appropriate, too, seeing as that window was how Sena got into the club in the first place. |
Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Also - lol at Yozora's reaction. Poor girl.... Yeah, no. I still believe she is going to be Best Friend Zoned though. Sena end or nobody end is the only 2 choices I deem acceptable. I hate to tell you, but like I and many people on this thread already said, Sena has probably doomed herself to lose by confessing now, which probably means Yozora is going to win. Personally I'm still rooting for the Kodaka x Sena ending |

| WHY IS THERE NO ORE NO IMOUTO CAMEO ? ive been waiting for it |
| lol he ran for it because his usual excuse didn't work. Great episode throughout. Other notable parts were in the infirmary with Rika and Sena destroying the new girl by calling her father. Cant wait for the next episode.......oh I just realized that's the last one. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Silly Kodaka. He always knew. What's a yaoi hole? |
| Come visit my town // I apologize in advance for my second-rate English Join my fan club // Improve the transport network |
| ^ A male version Futanari lol |
| Well it was Sena or Yozora in the last season. In NEXT Sena could finally face Yozora and pushed her in dark corner. Well, but honestly a spoiled rich girl or a unsocial tsundere are no good choices. considerung how much compliments, Kodaka had given to Rika, you could actually assume that he likes her the most, so it would be much more natural for him to choose Rika. It's up to the author nevertheless, maybe Kodaka will pretend to be gay *hehel* |

Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Many people fall under ignorant, fanboyism teenagers etc. Kodaka has shown no romantic feelings towards Yozora, he sees her as a friend, which she was in the past. She wants Kodaka, but that won't solve her problem. She lacks the capacity to make friends and interact with people, she needs to confront her past and accept how things turned out. Sena has had the most development in this series and she started loving Kodaka because of the present and her interactions with him and how he treated her as a person. Yozora is really, really, just stuck in the past. The flashback and her dialogue of the cat, has also made it more evident. Thus, the only logical choice is Sena or nobody. Yes Sena has had the most development while Yozora has barely had any, but since Volume 8 of the novels is considered as prologue and it's been confirmed that there is a lot of more to come, that means there is loads of time for Yozora to develop. And with shows like this I'd assume the show would end around when the protagonist has picked a girl, and since Sena confessed now and the story isn't anywhere near over, she's probably gonna get rejected. The other option is him not ending with anyone specifically (harem end). |
| Hate to break it to some of you but the last episode is gonna be about the name/point of the show.And as much as i love Sena she is not the character with the most development that would be Rika. |

| Harem ending would be sooo disappointing. Can't we, for once, have a nice, satisfying ending to a harem anime where the MC actually chooses someone and they live happily ever after with the rest of the harem finding their happiness elsewhere? It'll be painful to see so much love wasted, because he can't have them all at once! Well, actually he could, if he was polyamorous... BTW anyone knows any anime with polyamory in it? The only case of polyamory I remember in anime was |

From the preview i don't think it will include something from vol9 unless the author gave them an outline for an ending like Toradora. |
|
Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Her development, IMO, will be coming to terms with her past, and will indeed include a confession, but a rejected one so that she can grow as a person and not rely on a single person. Yeah probably unless the author wants to throw a curve ball into it i think that Yozora development will be like that. |
|
| Just one more to go... i'm thinking that it might have a harem ending, he's not going to stay with none of them, but not 100% sure, let see how much development they can do in one episode. I realy hope for a sena ending. |
| Sorry for my english !! |
Takuan_Soho said: People keep on talking about how much Sena has "developed". What are you all talking about? She was arrogant at the beginning, she is arrogant now. The only reason people thinks she has "developed" is because of Yozora (in response to the various situations Yozora puts her into), but as her interaction with Yusa shows, Sena is still completely wrapped up in her wants and desires. Even after her "confession", the first thing she did was to call Kodaka an idiot because he interfered with her game. If anything, she has regressed, where as Yozora has quietly developed. I can somewhat see what you mean but she has definitely not regressed, the only reason she even called him an idiot is because she was immersed in the game while she was confessing without realising it, and then she lost because he distracted her so it was a pretty reasonable. Personally I think both characters have developed a bit over the show. Takuan_Soho said: Sena doesn't love Kodaka. Sena doesn't know what love is yet. She likes Kodaka, and marrying Kodaka would be easy for her, but where has she shown any love? That's not much of an argument, you can say that about Yozora and the others. Plus rarely people confess and propose if they don't love the person, admittedly proposing might have been too much. Takuan_Soho said: Rika would be more logical, however Rika pretty much confessed that she only wants to be friends with Kodaka (in the infirmary saying that she knew Kodaka would never take advantage of her). She didn't say she just wants to be friends, she just said Kodaka wouldn't take advantage of her. |

Yeah I also would say, the fact that he didn't want to "rape" her doesn't mean, that he doesn't have honest feelings for Rika |
