| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh my god whats going on? I need to watch the next episode now. |
 |
| I feel like every single one of these episodes make me just say "wow" over and over. |
 |
| Oh my... Oh, poor Nanami =/ |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| Egad. I don't even know anymore. |
| Wow. That is all I have to say. |

| wow. talk about fucking suspense. that music in the last scene holy shat |

| My first reaction was "are you kidding me?" in an entirely positive way. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| my reaction to this episode, "WTF happened?!" |
 |
| shoockooo! Kind of expected it but never actually thought I'd see it. |

| Well, I'm pretty sure all of us knew it was happening, but showing it at the end with that music was pretty wow. |

| It's like anime characters can't resist the urge to create their own harem. All joking aside I was not really as shocked as everyone else was, I mean we have already seen this haven't we. But damn the music in this series is phenomenal. |
| The constant "Just kidding" throughout the episode was funny... and other than that poor Nanami hahah |
| Well, that was a terrible episode... just kidding. Anyway, that ending was certainly an eyebrow raiser. I figured someone would find out about Akio and Anthy's relationship sooner or later but I did not think it would be Nanami; and she did not look too pleased about finding it out either. I actually felt kind of bad for her this episode. |
| Well, I guess Nanami's obsession with Touga is a little less... creepy now. This episode made me feel sorry for Nanami, but Anthy as well. Look at her face - I don't think she's enjoying this at all. I think Akio's manipulating her more than anyone else in the series. |
| I hope Akio is just manipulating Anthy! I might freak out if Anthy really schemes and wants bad things to happen with her brother :X But that last scene was super intense. I must watch the next episode NOW! |
 |
| What the actual fuck? This show does a fantastic job of slowly building depth to the characters. You really got a good insight into Nanami. |
 |
| God damn. That was an incredible episode. In fact, these previous couple of episodes have all been amazing. Poor Nanami(I've always liked her, in an odd sorta way). She's traumatized now. Weirdly, an interesting parallel to her own obsession with her brother. But now that she's actually witnessed the extremes of sibling love here, she's like, "NOPE. Fuck that." On a side note, it almost looked like Anthy was dead at the end. |
| Anthy was eating a banana right after Nanami slipped on a peel ... very suspicious. I don't really see why Nanami feels so sad about them not being real siblings ... |
| Wow is the only thing I can say about this episode. I'm SO glad I didn't drop this anime when I was debating to about 10-15 episodes ago. |

| Yeeeaaah, this is the comedy and drama I like to see. And oh hey what an ending! On a lighter note, the frog noises and banana peel gag were so on point. Very good. |
"There is nothing outside of yourself that enables you to get better. Everything is within. Seek nothing outside of yourself." ⛩️  |
| I'm thinking Nanami saw something else instead of just Anthy and Akio together. It looked like Anthy was..."awakening" at the end there...maybe she saw her true form or something. Anthy, just what are you? o_O |
 |
| Ahh, first we got the typical Nanamicomedy, which was fine and all, but that ending was very interesting. To me it seemed like Anthy was raped by someone, probably Akio. But as usual, nothing in this show is as it seems, so I doubt it's that simple. |
 |
| This episode was by far one of my favorites so far in the series. Just wow... I think I actually am starting to like Nanami a bit more, and this episode made me feel really bad for her. Omfg, if this becomes a harem thing. XD The ending though was really interesting... |
 |
| god let Anthy and Akio not be related, blood siblings having sex just doesn't sit well with me. well i guess it makes the story more interesting, or something.. hmm I wonder if Nanami is really not related to Touga, wonder how that happened |

| Nanami's face in the elevator screamed "can't unsee". |
| More Incest huh, Aiko is disgusting. Funny how the incest is is the most cringeworthy path even though a grown man is having sex with a minor. I dont care for sex in anime anyway so whatever. |

| I didn't know it was possible to put GIFs inside picture frames. 4/5 |
 |
| This is the first time i've seen a where a character is not excited and overwhelmed with joy over the revelation of the sibling that they're in love with not being related xD Scumbag Akio. Monopolizes all the ass available that he even has to cockblock a middle-schooler. |
 |
| I think Utena's had some solid cliffhangers but that one easily takes the cake. Poor Nanami it's amazing how the series has effortlessly made her transition from loathsome villain, to object of mockery to now an object of sympathy. Nanami's biggest character trait all along has been her unshakable love for her brother Touga. So in this episode presumably to prep her for her ride in the car, Nanami's love gets a big old shaking. First in a powerful recurring bit, she steals Touga's phone and is beset throughout the episode by lovesick phone calls from all the women he has thrown away. This along with all the Nanami spying on him scenes are meant to show her discovering her brother is not such a great person as she'd imagine. He plays around with girls feelings for fun, and she might be no different. It's amazing like I said all this episode manages to do with Nanami's character. She's her normal rude insufferable self when telling off Touga's exes. But once the big reveal of the episode happens, that Nanami and Touga aren't related by blood, she's reduced to little more than a scared little girl. When she sinks so low as to ask charity from Mitsuru her lackey you can't help but feel a pang of sadness for her. One of the things in this kind of silly plot development, you can't help but consider is that if they're not really related Nanami could now pursue Touga romantically seemingly what she's always wanted. But this seems to make her more uncomfortable than excited. Making the ending that much more interesting and even more gut wrenching for the character. The shot of Anthy ravaged lying before Akio is a disturbing one for us the viewer. We can only imagine Nanami's pain cowering in the elevator as the music crescendos into a to be continued. I've heard this show gets even better right at the end. After that juicy ending I'm excited that it seems I'm getting to that part. Can't wait to see where this show goes next. |

| *image of a golf ball getting into the hole* Akio: *talks about the rule 34 of the academy* Am I imagining all of this? - The shadow girl from the black rose arc is back. - Oh, I think Nanami just got traumatized. I mean, even more than in the rest of the episode. I think the plot is really getting somewhere now. |
 |
| I've wanted to deny that Akio x Anthy thing ever since it was hinted at from episodes prior, but NOW I CAN'T, ERRGHHH! I really have no idea how blood type works genetically, so I was pretty much left in the dark until Nanami pieced it together for me, and therefore shocked to learn they're not related nearly the same time she figured it out! Utena is painfully ignorant to all these weird developments going on, especially with Anthy and Akio. That CAN'T be Anthy's prince! MAYBE ANTHY IS WAITING FOR UTENA, HER PRINCE, TO RESCUE HER FROM THIS WEIRD AKIO RELATIONSHIP!!! also, poor traumatized Nanami ;_; |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
The funny thing is that, I had this anime on-hold for two years at 7/39. On a whim, I noticed you were at 8/39 some time ago, so I thought I'd try to finish it before you and was basically racing you, secretly. I know I failed though, so this is the only victory I'll let slide into your favor :T |

I love your stalkerish slave tendices for your master fufufu! |
Go back to being a naked monkey, sweetie! |
| Oh snap. I think the statue in 10:53 is based on the Abduction of a Sabine Woman. It's not the exact same pose, but I believe those are the subjects that the anime is conveying. I'm guessing Akio is abducting all the women in the academy to do his bidding or whatever. Dunno what the rest of them are, but I would love to know. Reply to my post if you do! |

| I never thought I'd feel bad for a borderline sociopath like Nanami, but that was downright brutal. What a punch to the gut. That sucks so much. Hopefully she doesn't end up even more screwed up, but I can't see it going well one way or another. I could definitely feel the pain when she started riding that elevator. And Anthy... I wasn't even thinking about Anthy so much at first since I had been kind of assuming this was going on for awhile now, but based on those facial expressions, there's no way she wanted that... That is so messed up on top of it already being messed up. Akio raped his underage sister. That definitely explains Anthy's general lack of will. Her will has been stolen from her by her brother. I'm surprised she even has a will to live in a situation like that. That seriously sucks. |
| Oh man, oh man, oh man! |
 |
| Unlike modern-day incest plots in anime, when Nanami finds out that she and Touga aren't blood-related, she's actually disappointed! Holy shit. I miss old anime. Anthy nonchalantly replying "Yes." to Utena asking if she sounded like a total mental case was hilarious. And then the ending...my god, they've been subtle up until this point, and I wanted to doubt it, but yep. Akio and Anthy are boning. And Nanami walked in on them. She's either traumatized enough to not want to be anywhere near her brother again or lying in shock trying to deny how aroused she is. Guess we'll find out next episode. Though I do fear that Anthy might not be consenting, based on that ending facial expression. :| |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I definitely didn't expect sexuality in SKU to get this scummy. It's not something I often see in anime, if ever. |
| All the build-up is really worth it. We've had hints of this show being darker than it looks, and I've been waiting for this kind of twist to appear, took it long enough. The music used in the final scene is really something. |
| Incest scene was shown first time some episodes back, briefly. This time Nanami saw it all... |
"A half moon, it has a dark half and a bright half, just like me…", Yuno Gasai |
| It was so heavily implied, but fuck. Damn. poor Nanami. |
 |
| Anthy even had her Rose Bride dress next to her, Ahio is a freaking psycho lmao. Being Nanami is suffering. Really this episode was basically: "Let's fuck Nanami over", poor girl. |
