| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, those scary eyes this episode. Episode was kinda cute and dramatic imo especially the ice cream scene. Cthuko and Mahiro on a 'date'? XD. Poor Nyaruko..dem feels.  ;.; |
 |
| Hahaha. LOL. Lots of references. Chuu2koi, OniAi, Kuroko no Basuke, Index/Railgun, Death Note, and the Titanic one! Hahaha. Didn't expect to see a serious moment between Mahiro and Nyarko. Mahiro x Kuuko moments were cute too! |

Chuu2koi reference indeed! |
|
| Not sure how I feel about this episode. On one level I accept that Mahiro was trying to help a friend, but the hurt he was causing Nyaruko, and he KNEW it was hurting her, was unacceptable. And hell, man, what's with that half-assed response to Nyaruko? I used to defend Mahiro, but as of now I don't think that there is anything left to defend. |
 |
| i like the references in this episode. i also like those dramatic moments between mahiro and nyaruko. |
 |
| I loved this episode, great references, funny moments and the serious scenes between Nyaruko and Mahiro. I started to hate Mahiro, Nyaruko was already 1 of my favourite characters, but she made a big step toward for being a favourite forever. |
 |
| Didn't expect the Chuunibyou reference lol. The railgun and KnB one was great as well. And of course, Kuuko made the ep for me. She's just too damn awesome. |
 |
| Entertaining episode and nice parodies hehe |
| The parodies where pretty nice this episode but the jealousy was the best seeing all those reactions from Nyaruko and Kuune was nice especially when they where angry. Seeing Nyaruko down the second part of the episode was a bit sad tho but she made a comeback with her confession and being daring like we are used of her hopefully Mahiro will respond to her feelings fast. The story about Mahiro's mother was also funny. |
| Damnit Mahiro, been cutting you some slack lately but just had to hurt Nyaruko's feelings again. Asshole move he did. On another note, I laughed pretty hard when Kuuko said "Kuroko" and Shantak-kun yelled in response. Both characters are voiced by Arai, Satomi (Kuroko and Shantak-kun). |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

Mahiro's a dishonest asshole and even tears falling on his face don't make much of an impression on him! But aside from his character, the rest of the show rocks! |

| Feels like a flag got set this episode, hahaha. I think the only reference I got this time was Death Notes, need to watch it again more carefully. |
 |
| For once I was able to understand and find all the references!!! :D Great episode! Looks like Nyaruko wins in the end xD |
 |
| well i got the chuunibyou, death note, and index references xD and poor nyaruko, that part with her crying almost got me crying :p |
| ALL DEM REFERENCES SO MUCH LOL XDXD Loved the date. Kuuko really is cute. But I felt bad for Nyarko. I really love the scenes with Nyarko when she's being serious. She's so cute in them and it's hard to resist those tears. Well at least Mahiro gave her hope. |
 |
| Lol I am really enjoying how much Shanta and his mom are getting along its quite funny and great. But god damn Mahiro you being a dick imma slap smile off your face! |
 |
| Academy City, lmao! Not a bad episode, not too big a fan of the drama though, but oh well. |
| That was a great arc. I died at the Kuroko reference, but to me Nyaruo's fears was the most important part of the episode. |
 |
| yah fuck this ep fir 1 big reason, they showed some signs of character development and then they just throw it all out the window in the next scene |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Those references... |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| Sooooo glad that stupid arc is over... Man...Nyarko's got a lot of work ahead of her...But it looks like she finally got some flags going! The way they ended the arc was kinda...yeah. Really felt they could have done better with it. Ah well. |

And hell, man, what's with that half-assed response to Nyaruko? I used to defend Mahiro, but as of now I don't think that there is anything left to defend. What should he have done? Screwed up the act, ending in Kuuko being forced to leave, marry someone she doesn't love and live in misery while he and Nyarko enjoy their time in Disneyland? And what about the response? He should have lied to her about loving her? Telling someone you love her when you don't won't end well. It is not like he was an ass to her in this episode. She knew how important this whole charade is and expected her to understand that. And he didn't ignore her but asked Hasta to cheer her up while he goes with the plan and gave his best to make her feel better without lying to her. linchpin said: Totally agree. Mahiro's a dishonest asshole and even tears falling on his face don't make much of an impression on him! Seemingly telling a girl you don't love that you love her is today called honesty. He doesn't love her. He will no doubt start liking her in future, but right now he doesn't love her. Do I need to put that in bold text again? His primary goal was to protect a friend of his and he, naturally, expected her to understand that (after all, Nyarko and Kuuko are childhood friends... a friend Nyarko seems to not care about). When it brought her down, he sent Hasta to cheer her up (he couldn't go because the act would have been over). When she asked him about his feelings, he gave her an honest answer and answered in a way that cheered her up. But I guess he should have discarded Kuuko and lied to Nyarko about his feelings just to keep Princess Nyarko happy. I don't know how you guys would call it, but I'd call that Dishonest Asshole. There was an asshole in this episode, and her name was Nyarko. She KNEW this was an act and she knew it was for Kuuko's, her childhood friend's, well-being. Yet not only did she endanger that childhood friend of hers (hell, she even seems to support teh charade because Mahiro said so, not because Kuuko is her friend) but she even started accusing that friend for wanting to steal her crush. You don't see Hasta, who also has a crush on Mahiro, act like that. Mahiro knew Kuuko for a short while but without a second thought he protected her. Nyarko knew Kuuko for her entire life, yet the only thing she saw was an enemy. And it really, REALLY baffles me that people think she is the Innocent Princess while Mahiro, who gave his best both her and Kuuko in this ep, is a villain because he made her cry (which was honestly her fault: he told her time and time again this was nothing more than an act)... and because he didn't lie to her about what she means to him. |

| (I'll start here, as it influences my response to your first question) Nayrael said: And what about the response? He should have lied to her about loving her? Telling someone you love her when you don't won't end well. I NEVER said lie to her. Tell her yes if he means it or no if he means it. Not some half assed "I don't dislike you". Give her a straight, truthful answer. He's leading her on, which is about the worse thing he can do. Nayrael said: What should he have done? Screwed up the act, ending in Kuuko being forced to leave, marry someone she doesn't love and live in misery while he and Nyarko enjoy their time in Disneyland? You're mixing up two problems. Helping Kuuko with her problem should NOT have been exclusive of making sure Nyaruko understood what his intentions were. But, since Nyaruko hasn't gotten a straight answer out of him then from her point of view what he was doing was putting him very, very far away from her. Nayrael said: And it really, REALLY baffles me that people think she is the Innocent Princess while Mahiro, who gave his best both her and Kuuko in this ep, is a villain because he made her cry (which was honestly her fault: he told her time and time again this was nothing more than an act)... and because he didn't lie to her about what she means to him. I've never said she was innocent. As I also said, I've been defending Mahiro all along. She has always come on WAY to strong to him. But his failure to give her a straight answer every time she asks is just getting to me. |

Takuan_Soho said: Really?That said, I find it interesting when fans associate so much with a character that the perceive slights to the character as almost personal slights. |

Takuan_Soho said: Sorry. Thought it was directed at me. My mistake.Cratex said: Takuan_Soho said: Really?That said, I find it interesting when fans associate so much with a character that the perceive slights to the character as almost personal slights. Yes. In reading your response above I wouldn't say that it specifically applies to you in this case (so apologies for suggesting it did), but haven't you noticed certain fans who seem to take slights against their beloved characters a tad too personally. Ore Imou and Hanagai are two very prominent shows with such fans. To respond to your post before this one, you are probably hitting the nail on the head for me. I'm losing my patience with that aspect of the story. I seem to have reached my limit at Nyaruko's mach 3 approach to Mahiro and Mahiro's seeming inability to take a stance one way or another regarding her. I'm getting fed up with both characters. |

For making Nyaruko cry, Mahiro deserves a punch in the face and a kick in the balls. By the way, Death Note reference for the win. lol this. |
| Wow look at all those references :O Mahiro haters gonna hate. |
| Good episode. Those references xD I actually understood how Mahiro felt... so he didn't piss me at all~ |
| Mahiro you piece of sh1t you did that Nyaruko cry Who is that girl in the opening??? :   |
fumoshi said: Mahiro you piece of sh1t you did that Nyaruko cry Who is that girl in the opening??? : I think that is the girl from the last 2 episodes of season 1. |
 |
| Lol Academy city didn't think i would see a Chuu2koi reference so soon shame on you Mahiro for making a girl cry! |
 |
| I loved that kuroko no basket reference..lol..if it is a boy then they will have him play basketball haha lol mahiro's mom was talking to herself....and I hate mahiro now...sure he did send hasuta later but he has done it too many times now... And finally my favorite ending song played out this episode...yotte S.O.S!:D Anyone thinks that Nyaruko is cosplaying Gray fullbuster( fairy tail) when these lines play out:- "Inryoku de hikitsuke rare " or is it just me haha..I swear I saw one of his pics in this pose. |

HerosLight said: Demonspeed said: There is even a JoJo reference! I got most of the references, where did they reference JoJo? It's Bruno Bucciarati's famous line from Jojo's Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n1mbtoy6hg |
| Such a shame, I would have loved to have seen Mahiro fall for Kuuko. She is genuinely a very adorable character and they do actually match up quite well. I think he appreciates Kuuko's advances a little more as Nyaruko is so overbearing with hers that I can understand why he gets annoyed so much by her. I don't hate Nyaruko but if she eased back a little I could sympathise a bit more if she didn't get anywhere. So yeah the last two episodes have been the best of the season for me =) |
 |
| oh great episode :3 too much references xD i don`t know anymore which ship to sail mahiro x nyarko or mahiro x kuuko xD |
 |
| references, references everywhere... |
 |
| "Then how about we put Mahiro in between Kuuko and make it Kuroko. If it's a boy, we'll have him play basketball. If it's a girl, we'll have her go to Academy City"... Haha. Kuuko ftw! But I am still shipping for Nyarko. I like Kuuko but I find it funny how Nyarko cling so much to Mahiro. And it's so sad when she cried like that. |
