| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another entertaining episode. The stories are progressing nicely. I liked the little background on Hiro, Kei, and Chihiro. And Chihiro's yelling really got to me. Very good stuff. I'll be looking forawrd to the next episode. |
 |
| hiu hiu! way to go Renji! \o\ xDDD I'm really cheering for those two =) And, forgive me Kei fans, but I think Miyako is the best pairing to Hirono ^^ |

| Wow, I loved this episode. It was awesome. The art, the conversatoins.. hope they will keep this up. |

| Juicy episode four drama. <3 Even though you could see where this was going the second Kei picked up that cook book, i still very much enjoyed seeing it being played out. Plenty of Miyako goodness also, which was a nice treat. Quite happy with how Renji/Chihiro ended this episode. Not only impressive to watch, it's just that now i have to start thinking how this one can go wrong (something to do with her memory i guess), 'cause it's to early for happiness. |
| Also a fan of Hiro/Miyako ^^ Although I have to say it hurt to see Kei walk in at the wrong time =/ "Why does someone else know more about me than myself?" :( |

| nice romantic yet sad episode very nice |
 |
| I'm a sucker for romance. |

And since it's engrish, it's only natural that some words sound different. So most groups adjust their OP/ED lyrics after the release of the singles. |

| There's a lot of different stories in this anime... I don't get it, what is the connection between all those stories...? :\ |

| Memory Girl is Crying Basketball Girl's Twin Sister who is the object of interest of Camera Guy who is Manga Guy's best friend. |

| I'll make it simpler lol. Manga guy (Hiro Hirono) is childhood friends with both basket ball girl (Kei Shindou) and memory loss girl (Chihiro Shindou). Basket ball girl (Kei Shindou) is the younger twin sister of memory loss girl (Chihiro Shindou). Book Boy (Renji Asou) likes memory loss girl (Chihiro Shindou) and she likes him (most of the time). Basket Ball girl is object of interest of Camera guy (Kyosuke Tsutsumi). Crazy horny girl (Miyako Miyamura) likes Manga guy (Hiro Hirono). Basket ball girl (Kei Shindou) also likes Manga guy and childhood friend (Hiro Hirono). The one thing they all have in common is that they all know or see the two twin sisters. Heres a visual of what I just said I'll make a better one later. /start rant So after watching the latest ep, it could be concluded that if those twin sisters did not drag manga kid away from his work, he would never have gotten into manga and probably would have focused on trying to get into a good art college (of course never skipping school and never meeting horny girl), one of the sisters would not have fallen in love with him, the other one probably would not have gotten into that accident (i'm sure we will learn the cause later), and all the other characters probably would have met under different circumstances. /end rant |

LOL, looks like we will be having some Kei vs Miyako pairing fight soon, lol Seriously an amazing episode, the way everything is told, the progress, its just soo much different that every other anime you encounter. In short words: "IT CAPTIVATES YOU!!!" |
| haha. I love the explanations in page 1 of the thread. I found an ecchi book! |
shami4241 said: Sorry for Miyako fans, but I just don't like her. Hear hear! I don't like her either. ><' Renji x Chihiro all the way!!! This episode was so awesome. This anime really keeps me on the edge of my seat. It's also nice to see that the twins got Hiro into drawing manga. |
     |
| I like both couples, I prefer Chihiro X Renjo though. No need to hate on the other two. |

| Best episode yet. I really liked how things developed in this episode, and to be honest I like both couples. I'm finally getting used to Chihiro's voice :P. The art aspect was awesomely directed once again. |
     |
| Very good episode ^-^ I liked the confession (Renji-kun was bad this day so he don't gets a kiss, but a hug will do it *__*) but i don't agree that Miyako-chan is a pest...i really want to taste her food XD Nice ED BTW ^^ |
Kayrhandros said: The art aspect was awesomely directed once again. Shaft/Shinbo know how it's done. |
| Another awesome ep, thou at first when Chihiro started acting the way she did to Renji I was kind like wtf!??? But when she said "Why does somebody else know more about me than I do?" that all changed, that was pure genious right there. *Goes to favourite quote* I need moar ef! edit: Oh yeah Miyako was <3 ^^ |

| I'm in love with this episode! Great final scene between Chihiro and Renji. Also loved how Miyako and Hirono are progressing. Very cute~ |
| I really like how this is progressing. The animation is growing on me; you almost get this abstract, mystical feeling to it. Not your run-of-the-mill anime, this is going to get really good. One of my favorites of the currently airing anime. |
 |
| Hiro + Miyako! its a better pairing than Hiro x Kei. I just dont like her =.= not sure why, but wut ever, go Renji!!! so daring he is <3 The ED changed didnt it? . _. |

I love the animation, it feels like an anime trying to be an art film. DeathfireD said: Spoiler for the large amount of text. I lol'd at the chart. Not because it's not well done or inaccurate, just that the idea that someone would take the effort of making a chart to explain relationships in an anime seems so odd. Good work on it though, it should help people who are confused by the simultaneous stories and how they relate. |

| Your forgetting Blonde hair and Manga guy are friends. |
|
| ya, I'll have to fix that. |
| ^)^ DeathfireD ^)^ Anime Alliance P2P Network *OPEN FOR NEW MEMBERS* |
| That is why its a good show, so many things to follow, so much curiosity. :P |
| So, by now we can assume the story being told in the OP about the girl beind alone in an island is Chihiro's story. Very good stuff, it's a very interesting feature. Miyako seems to not want to talk about her life at all. It's like a personification of stereotype for Hiro, really cool stuff. But I can't help but want more Chihiro moments. Her side is so bittersweet, and I'm a sucker for drama. More! This is addicting, I want more! |
mqf said: xD I love the visual thing. Is it just me or are the ankles and legs of the girls really skinny? It kind of bugs me it looks like they're anorexic or something. For some scenes, yeah. It bugs me occasionally as well. Loved the "can I kiss you part" xD And Deathfire, you forgot that Renji went to the gray-haired "adult" guy for advice. Dunno how he knows him though... Wondering who the blue haired (nun?) is too. |

Probably a relative or close family friend since the mother wanted Renji to bring food over to him. I wont add him till we find out for sure. Same goes for the other characters. PS. I'm happy people found my chart useful haha. I guess I'll continue to update it as the show progresses. |

Your hard work is appreciated! Except, I wasn't talking about the guy he brought food to. I meant the guy looking after Chihirio. In the first ep I think, he gave Renji career advice. But it hasn't really be touched on since, so maybe it's irrelevant. |

But it hasn't really be touched on since, so maybe it's irrelevant. Oh that guy. He gave him advice in two eps. The first it was unintentional. If you remember Renji wasn't specifically looking for him per say, but since he was always there at the church, he just asked for advice anyway. The second time was when he just gave Renji a warning "friendly advice" about the girl. He did it in a cool way without giving the kid to much info (he probably did that because its her private life and she should be the one to tell him). Renji didn't know him at all before those times. It's kind of like if you had a sister and she had some kind of issues that you didn't want to make public but you saw her getting along with someone and wanted to just give them a hint that theres something wrong and they should be carefully. Thats kind of what that guy was doing. "If you cant stand the heat then get out of the fire" type thing. So I dont think we can consider them friends yet....I suppose if he continues to see Chihirio they may become friends. |

| renji and chihiro are just too fucking adorable. its like such a cute romance i cant get over it "can i kiss you" "no, because i dont like renji of today, yesterday it would have been fine" ahhh i love it. i dont like miyako as a character, but i dont like the pairing of hiro x kei. i think the "color" he's going to find will be through miyako, and not kei.. but miyakos personality is so annoying. |
| My head is so messed up right now i can't write my thoughts correctly =.=" (Btw, that chart is missing the "Best Frends line", if anyone already said that, srry tl:dr) |
| Haha, a paycheck for 37 yen. what a loser. that what 25 cents. |

| I loved this episode! Poor Kei-chan =( I'm loving the OP btw. And I wonder how much they spent on each episode. |
| Yeah, the art is OVERWHELMINGLY done! It looks like each episode is a MOVIE in a DVD quality. |
     |
| There were so many great moments in this episode. I laughed quite a bit when Hiro started explaining the perils of bad cooking to Miyako. After seeing Kei's cooking, he must've been through a lot. Miyako conveniently deflected the question regarding her family so I'm interested in when they'll get around to tackling that issue of hers. Renji and Chihiro's scenes were very nice. I'm cheering for him all the way. Kyosuke once again spent the majority of the episode in the background so I still don't quite know what to make of him. As for Kei, I just can't root for her. Hiro x Miyako ftw. Metroid_Ex said: Haha, a paycheck for 37 yen. what a loser. that what 25 cents. I don't believe that was his check. That's a bank statement of how much money he has left in his savings. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| I'm a big fan of the whole Renji and Chihiro romance, it contains many "awww" moments that I'm such a sucker for. It also needs more of the movie guy, see I don't even remember his name, since he hasn't really been explored at all but I don't really like him that much. |
   #NBHNC |
| good stuff. youd think hiro would notice how kei feels by now though. |
  |
| Well... I love this series!!! But I thought that the scene with the waves.... around the middle of it... it was a bit overdone... when Chihiro started yelling and stuff ^^' But I really wanna see more of the part where they showed all the characters as children... I love parts like that!!! It's a REALLY interesting series that has me hooked right now >.< |
