My god, I haven't had this urge to want to snap someone's neck since School Days. Honestly, I'm all about romance and the like, but this just pushed me off the edge. I absolutely hate Shinbo now... well I hate the whole cast during this episode. Perhaps Takako felt as this was the only way, but with her student!? I hate this pairing more than I hate MizukixKuze from ef: a tale of melodies. Plus, I can't believe how Motosuwa acted in response to this. It's like he accepted it with no problem. Yeah, my mind might be a polar opposite to his, but I still can't believe it. I'm so mad about an anime, this sucks...

I have this bad feeling that every female that is close to Motosuwa is going to be swept away, but I should have accepted that with that telling of the storybook. I hate seeing main characters like this, no matter how unrealistic it is to always have a perfect ending. I absolutely hate non-main characters having a perfect ending. *Stares at Dan-kun*

Half of the episode I was laughing, and half of it I was like "WTF?". And the problem with this was I was doing those at the wrong times. See the problem with this was I didn't know at first whether or not that ending was actually going on or if it was another wonky dream or something. Eh. I liked the new ending theme.

I really have got no clue on how to react to this. I saw it coming from the beginning of the episode, but... AAARGH! This twist annoys me a lot. I feel this need to relieve anger after watching it.

I may be wrong but I think Shinbo was the guy she was talking about in the first place, maybe he's actually her fiance or something. And It didn't really come out of nowhere, if you paid attention in the beach episode the two of them were sitting next to each other and around one another most of the time. So, i'm fairly certain that they have been together for a while.

Shinbo was also probably who she was alluding to when she said she was too "timid." It was a really good episode in my opinion.

I suppose I'm the only one who's heart was broken.
I had an "anime-crush" on the teacher, and I thought the teacher liked Motosuwa, I loved that.
And then when she visits him and stays the night, double-awesome!
But then...I find out she thinks Moto is just a good guy, but has romantic feelings for Shinbo instead.
I think the word "dissapointment" comes closest to what I feel. Times 9000 of course.
It was a horrific experience.

I thought about it some more, and the main reason why it upset me so much is that the teacher was very sad.
Moto comforts her, and you can tell how much she appreciates it. It was beautiful to see.
But then we see Shinbo doing the same and apparenty doing it better.
I wanted the romantic feelings of the teacher to grow for Moto, but it grew for someone else...

Uhh.... Somehow, I think some of you (including the one above) have missed the point to this.

The reason, IMO, that its done is to shock you because it is something which we think is wrong. That is understandable.

BUT, why are persocoms as cute as they are? Why does Moto get embarrassed when Chi touches him with her breasts? ANd most importantly, is this any different from a man and a machine having sexual relations?

Teacher X Student
Man/Woman X Machine

Neither are right, but would you make such a fuss if the later was to happen? The morals are the same. Yet we find the first more of a shock. The fact that Moto likes Chi is probably the reason for his unresponsive reaction.

Its dependant on your moral standings really. But my philosophy is the one above. So I thought this episode was otherwise very funny and much deeper than many of the other episodes. Which is a very good thing. (the show did feel a little bit shallow)

Oooooh the motherfucking irony strikes again. I was like "WTF" in the last scene.

Teacher x Student relationships huh? Makes me wonder why the sensei went to Hideki's house. I first thought Shinbo was going to America, guess not.

Shinbo x Cram School Sensei ftw.
Maybe the friendship Hideki and Shinbo share would soon crumble?

OK, so was there an episode where the teacher stayed the night at Hideki's house? I don't remember that ever happening. Was this just new back story introduced for this episode or did I miss something somewhere?

*edit* never mind, I figured out that I got my episodes mixed up and watched #16 and #17 before #15. Boy was that confusing, but it makes so much more sense now.

WHHHAAAAAATTTTT?

Okay, throughout the episode, I started worrying about Shinbo, and then when Shizuka mentioned about her husband, I realised her marriage was falling apart and she was lonely (and drunk!) and could trust Moto not to do anything!

Then when Shinbo got angry at prep school, I realised the extent of what was going on! Although, I dont know if her marriage failing was becuase of Shinbo, or wether he just 'filled a gap'.

Either way, troubled waters ahead!

I do not like this twist at all. Not because it's teacher x student, but because it practically came out of nowhere. Both the teacher having marital problems and her hooking up with Shinbo. Little still or background shots in the beach episodes are not good enough, hell they weren't even noticeable to me. They should have thrown in some hints beforehand, it's not like they never have a chance to do so.

This makes the most logical sense.

Shizuka could've been looking for Shinbo's apartment instead of Moto's. Either way, she didn't mind because she knew he was a good guy and would never have taken advantage of the situation.

It's obvious that something is happening to his teacher's personal life. Shinbo could happen to be there and comfort her (most likely the past week or so).

Regardless of student/teacher relationship, everyone's human. And it DOES happen in real life. Their class is just college prep school.

We'll see next episode!

the only good thing about this episode was chii's summer dress! it was adorable.

I feel like this anime doesnt have much of a plot at all. there has been a total of MAYBE 4 episodes that actually had interesting plot information. All the rest of the episodes are just filler, i wish they would have made the plot alot bigger so that the anime didnt feel like it was mostly pointless...

This anime has such great potential, its sad really. i mean dont get me wrong i do really like this series how it is but i see how the creators could have made it much more bigger than they did. This series could have been really great, but instead they made a pretty good anime thats fun to watch on a rainy day.

Thats just my opinion.

Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

WTF

This episode was stupid. Teacher-student relationships? Really, Chobits? What does that have to do with anything? I was under the impression that Shinbo was a coolman, but ehh this was pretty Dumbo.

Hopefully this was just a one-off episode that wont be mentioned again... Remember when Chi was a flying robot? I want more of that!

This episode pissed me off.
There was a time were I hated anime. Now I love anime more than anything. When i started to actually watch anime I decided to keep note the order of them, now I am able to number them on this site. When I finish everything I have see I will be surprised to see my progress. My revolution started around a little over a year ago and is still going. May the future have just as good if not better anime as now.

In the game episode (previous ep), his avatar/sprite looked like Shimizu. I think that was enough. Though it MAY have been hinted at earlier episode, just that I didn't notice.

Gotta hate these silly, forced shockers. But I saw that coming. Hideki is not the kind of guy that'll get the hot girl. Hes doomed to end up alone with Chi. Sad, but makes sense when you think of the kind of "looser" he is :C
