Hatsukoi Limited Episode 10 Discussion

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The episode isn't as good as the last one but still it's alright. It would have been better if Kei and Kusuda were a bit more honest about their feelings. But Meguru’s story was quite enjoyable^^

feels like no progress is being made.

I liked this episode, and not just for the boob-service. I felt that what happened between Enomoto and Kusada was inevitable, because Enomoto just couldn't keep from constantly ridiculing Kusada in public. They're just kids, so it's no wonder that Kusada finally blew up at Enomoto, but even if they were adults it still would have happened. It would have been one thing if Enomoto couldn't tell Kusada that she liked him, but to humiliate him so often was too much.

I hated this episode with a burning passion.
Mostly because it centered around the two couplings that I loathed the most.

More than anything, I still hate the Kappa-face and any reason as to why Enomoto would see anything in that idiot. I think she would do better with Kashiwagi.

On the other hand, I hate how Takei seemed to almost force his ideals on Watase. Everything about the relationship between the 2 just seems so silly. I know I shouldn't take any of this so personnel, being mostly a romantic comedy, but I can't help it.

Terriable episode.

Okay episode, a few good ecchi-related laughs. And I felt that Enomoto and Kusuda were much farther than what was shown in this episode. Kinda a cliffhanger in the end, so I'll be waiting for the next one.

More of a transition episode with settling some of the sidestories. I never realized that Saki-nee's and Meguru's friend who likes to eat weird stuff is actually Kei's older sister. Stupid me.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that ending the episode at that point was against human rights on torture.

Episode was fine I guess. Next time really some progression in the relationship KusudaxKei please, maybe a first date?

Aw, just two episodes left? :(

Funny episode,
i prefer enomoto's sister actually <.<
anyway funny battle between to 2 girls.

epic scene before the credits :p

haha looks like the three boys will be emoing together

lmao ... the two guys emo-ing for so long xD haha

Pretty bad episode... because like others have already said this episode had almost zero progression. Well, Meguru gained some courage so not completely zero progression but still pretty bad.

Needs more older Enomoto

A romantic ending instead of this slap in the face, would have made this my favourite episode.

Too bad...

Enomoto and kappa face need to progress already D:

The Meguru section was nice this week, but the Kei and Kusuda could have been better. Can't wait for the final two episodes.

FUCK YEAH!!!! I'm glad that happened to her at the end!!!!! STOP FUCKING WITH PEOPLES HEARTS YOU BITCH!!!!

I swear man, from 21:00on was like fucking vindication.
You fucking tell her Kusuda....You fuking tell her....

[spiteful? just a lil bit...]

my guess it wont be untill the last 2 min of the final ep,

Based on the manga,



But yeah, the best part of the episode was when Kusada told Enomoto off. But the swim team's reaction to Qchan poking the large boobs was funny too.

oh yes! Next Episode: my most awaited favorite arc! "Boy's Escape"!
anywayz in episode 10 so many happened compressed in one episode. and oh!, kusuda snapped in front of kei, anywayz good episode.

Hmmm... slightly disappointed with this episode. I didn't care much for Watase's story so that passed by without much thought. I was getting more annoyed with how Kei is always talking down to Kusuda and was glad he just snapped right back at her in the end.

Enomoto and Kusuda saved the episode. Overall it was too bouncy.

Still, looking forward to more. Hope those two will eventually get together. :D

Oh and URUCHAI!

i liked this episode, they development between kusuda and enomoto was deep and sad. It still brings all the natural vibes i love about this show. The ending bit was a sort of cliff hanger and damn it's annoying me cause i love that romance.

The watase stuff is what brought down this episode for me, i felt like it really was not needed and really was in the way of the much better, much more important romance.

The part with Meguru was really needless, looks like déjà-vu ..
Kusuda finally snapped, serves you right Enomoto!

After such an amazing beautiful episode, i can't feel anything but disappointed......... i just watched the previous ep for the third time, cries......but still a decent ep. looking forward to the next one..

I reckoned that the misaki relationship with arihara was the most random and senseless.

I loled so hard at the lollipop. =D

Kusuda confessed !

''Always giving me hope, you're the kind I hate the most'' Clearly mean that he told her that he like her but that she wouldn't give him any chance.

He blushed after realizing that he was confessing and Kei was sad and releived at the same time that Kusuda like her.

Then fucking suspense and credit time -.-. I want to see next ep right naow ...

Yea I doubt Kei would've interpreted that as a confession. Although what Kusuda said implies that he likes her, both Kusuda and Kei's reactions are more of an initial reaction to just how harsh and mean it sounds. So Kusuda is more like "oh shit!" and Kei is..well..she apologized so I think we get a gist of how she's feeling XD

I really seen that much more as a confession than something harsh.

Normally you don't blush and look that shy when you said something harsh and Kei looked surprised, then sad then releived. Well I guess we'll see how Kei took it in the next episode because I'm still sceptic about it.

Yea your logic makes total sense. Sorry, I think I might be speaking from a biased perspective XD...

Am I the only one who thinks Sumire = Solid Snake?

2draggy.. enomoto and kappa><

Yes!

oh so thats kei's older sister, was wondering who she was.

kind of a boring episode, except for the last 2 minutes where kusuda got mad [and something actually went forward plot-wise]

Kei x Kusuda is really the best pairing for me for this series. They really should be honest with each other. Actually, it'll go well if only one will be honest.

What's with.. gomen...??? Looks like something big will happen next episode.

I really don't see why everyone like's Kei and Kusuda's story the most. It's so boring. From the very first second of this anime when it showed the two of them fighting and Kei said "Looks matter the most in a guy" I just rolled my eyes and thought, "Well they're obviously gonna end up together." And all they do is fight in every episode with no progress being made. Boring.

But then again, Dobashi's and Meguru's story are also boring.

I love Misaki's story and also like Koyoi's and Ayumi's. I guess it's because they sort of all connect together. I can't wait until there's more Misaki x Arihara developement.

Well I think it all comes down to our personal preferences.

Koyoi's and Ayumi's stories are way too immature to me. I really really did not like how they handled things, but I guess can't really expect much from them since they are only what...14 years old? In contrast though, Dobashi's and Chikura's stories are much better in my opinion. Their stories feel a lot more honest. The same goes for Kei - she says a lot of stupid things, but it's obvious to everyone except Kusuda that she likes Kusuda. I think Koyoi's and Ayumi's stories are more....of a joke to me :P A comedic break between the other stories

Misaki's story I think is interesting. I liked the dilemma between Mamoru and Koyoi's onii-chan (can't recall his name). I liked how she delt with that. Although her love for Arihara is a lil sketchy...

Watase's story.....there really isn't much going on for her except her swimming.

I also like Misaki's story the most. Anyhow, Kusuda's face was cute near the end. Looks like they'll stick with the manga, almost exactly. Everyone will come clean in either next episode or the next episode on that one.

Hmm a bit too much of a breast-focus, but overall it was alright.

Takei's blunt and traightforward answer was great.

The ending was done nicely as well, shows that Kei CAN show a face like that.

- Lith.

WAH! Can't wait to see where this plot goes... I think the story is progressing fine... its building up...

I just meant that I like the stories that aren't showing an obvious ending. (I haven't read the manga, so I don't know what the ending is like).

Dobashi's story is cute, but since she already had the guy to begin with, it was boring. Chikura's story is good. Meguru's is basically the same every time. It's all about her breasts making her embarrassed.

And I just feel like Kei and Kusuda's story is in almost every anime; The popular girl with the good looks who fights with the average perverted guy but ends up liking him.

I agree that Ayumi's story is immature, but it's entertaining and it's sort of leaving me guessing how everything's gonna turn out for her.

Misaki's story is my favorite and Koyoi comes in second since their stories are connected. Even though it was random how Misaki fell in love because of the lolli pop thing, it was still surprising. Plus I like her the best since she's one of the older characters.

Ohhh yea, I definitely can't deny that Kei x Kusuda is a predictable relationship. But I don't think that by any means mean that it can't be interesting :P I mean...why else would they make romcom movies? But that's just another bit of my opinion

As for Dobashi's story.....trust me hun, being in a relationship is when everything begins XD...

Nice ep. More of a transition ep to set up the finale. Not particularly great but necesarry non the less.

I'm glad Watase's story had some form of progression.

Big breasts are good!

I want more Yuu nowwwww. And kei is eri's clone 100% matching genetics.

fanservice ahoy~

hehe I loved that part too!! I know some people don't like him, but he is EXACTLY the type of guy I like. I can't wait till the next episode.
