UUUNNIIIIVEEEERSSE!!!

Seriously are these doujins even real? and are there really people who enjoy these?

What made Rika special to me is that she looks really gentle outside of her weird hobbies. She easily gets embarrassed and she sounds like an easy person to talk to. Is this behavior of hers real or she just using this as a mask for how sneaky she is. I mean she is smart enough to trigger one of Yozora's "Landmine". Really loved her voice actress! Respect! :)

[zeniselv]

furry is real, so yeah, i dont see why this wont.

[Teh_Ping]

Also, she's by far the most foul-mouthed of the lot. And even in the LN world, she's ranked as one of the most foul-mouthed folks out there.

[Rozen Van Kaizer]

Foul Mouthed? :confused: How is she the most foul mouthed? Maria actually insults people and using little cuss words here and there. The most foul I heard from Rika are from her sexual imaginations and to me it can't be as bad as Maria's.

[recover]

she pretty much "stole" episode 4

quirky, weird, perverted, clingy, overly affectionate... did i say weird?

i love her

actually, i cant name one char i dislike in this show

[larethian]

She's not foul mouthed, just perverted and honest about it :heh:

[GenjiChan]

Rika-san, hmmm... "a perverted mouth yet I love to hear her talk kind of girl".

I got a fetish on ponytails.... cute!

[heavenwargod]

Apparently, Kodaka finds her cute as well.

[Rozen Van Kaizer]

Anyone seen a special link between Kodaka and Rika?

It feels like not only can Kodaka talk to Rika normally but also learned a valuable lesson from her. Like example at the end of Episode 5 when Kodaka was complaining they shouldn't play games like these anymore cause of all the chaos. Rika then told him despite how crazy or pointless it went, it was the first time she played together with others and it was very fun. This made Kodaka realized something big after all these time.

It's almost like Rika, compared to the other girls, is the type of person who Kodaka can talk to normally. Pretty Ironic since she is the craziest of all the girls. I bet if Kodaka faces a great obstacle in the future, Rika would definitely be the person he can talk to.

I can even confidently say that Rika is closest girl to Kodaka right now. None of the girls had ever came close on pulling Kodaka's strings as she did at the last part of Episode 5, it was pretty powerful to me.

I Rika could probably be:
The hidden flag; ex: Asa Sempai from Shuffle! or
Kodaka's real true friend in the end who he can share and support each other together through anything.

I'm gonna keep an eye on this couple.

[GenjiChan]

Well, a link you say, not at this moment.

Regarding the relation of the two is still not that special, for now. The probable reason that the two were kinda close on episode 5 is ..... well. the other girls (the two girls) are more focus on arguing and "fighting" each other like two idiots. In that situations, I would better stick to someone kinda like me for a while. If not, I may end up being "Intentionally friendly fired" early in the game by the two idiots... hehehehe

[blakstealth]

She's not foul mouthed, just perverted and honest about it :heh:And I find that just adorably hilarious.

[lightsenshi]

Brains are sexy. Is it bad that I'm rooting for her?

[blakstealth]

Not at all. :P

[recover]

is it just me or does it seem like kodaka has shown the most interest in her thus far

[blakstealth]

Naw, I think he only mentioned how cute she was like...once.

I think she transformed into full pervert in ep7, though. Shit's hilarious. xD

[Konakaga]

Naw, I think he only mentioned how cute she was like...once.

I think she transformed into full pervert in ep7, though. Shit's hilarious. xD

Clearly being called a genius by Yozura made her awaken even more as a pervert :heh::uhoh:.

[lightsenshi]

I don't think it's you but then again, I think Rika's doing a pretty good job of stealing the show.

[potchip]

Clearly being called a genius by Yozura made her awaken even more as a pervert :heh::uhoh:.

She's not quite happy with Kodaka/Yozora calling her a genius because of the phone suggestion...She's feeling sorry about her senpais.

[noobita]

Why is she so pervert?

[Rozen Van Kaizer]

Shd is not a pervert. She's just a curious researcher that's all :rolleyes:

[SilverSyko]

Shd is not a pervert. She's just a curious researcher that's all :rolleyes:

Huh, that's actually not a bad mindset to use for her character...

From now on I will convince myself her "perversion" is not for personal pleasure but rather, FOR SCIENCE!

It takes a load off my mind that way.~

[noobita]

Shd is not a pervert. She's just a curious researcher that's all :rolleyes:

She want to get raped. Curiosity? I doubt it.. :D

[Rozen Van Kaizer]

She want to get raped. Curiosity? I doubt it.. :D

I'm sure she's going to get alot of materials and data's for her research if Kodaka went Australia at her during the time she was unconscious. She even developed an Ahegao Potion for her further studies.

[nestea2004]

It's for science!
>.< Darn it!

[Qikz]

If it's Rika, I'm up for a bit of human experementation if you know what I mean. :p

[Rozen Van Kaizer]

Count me in too!!! :D


Haganai PsP commercial (I think) featuring Rika:

Oh Rika you are so... I mean I don't even....

I don't understand Japanese, but half of her words were "Kodaka sempai".

Hah! :heh:

[Rozen Van Kaizer]

I don't understand Japanese, but half of her words were "Kodaka sempai".

Hah! :heh:

Yes Kodaka Senpai..... and Yukimura Senpai.... and Universe..... That can't be good >_<

[bakAnki]

Basically she was going crazy pairing Kodaka and Yukimura and shouts "UNIVEEEEEE~RSE" XD

There's also another PSP game CM featuring Rika where she shouts "EXCALIBUUUUUR" :D

Oh my! I bet it was really fun being Rika's Seiyuu. She's seriously insane!

[mironicus]

Later in the novel Kodaka describes Rika as...

... the most approachable girl in the group. She has a kind, friendly and cute aura in his eyes. She seems to be his type, but he is annoyed about her behaviour. He is disappointed ("such a waste") and acts cold towards her but in reality Rika would have great chances to be his girlfriend if she acts more normal.

So... don't put Rika out of the race!

[ThereminVox]

I'm not surprised, just having watched the show. That's sort of what makes Rika so funny; she's a total bro, very level-headed, and is often the one we see Kodaka commiserating with after a failed club experiment in popularity.

That's why I find it entertaining that she seems (at least in the anime) to have almost no designs whatsoever on Kodaka, at least romantically speaking. She wants him for a booty call, and beyond that she just treats him like a buddy. Rika herself says that she read that boys and girls can't just be normal friends, but the two of them have the most comfortable friendly repartee of anyone in the group, at least when she's not trying to get him in bed.

Counter-intuitively, if she actually wanted him, and didn't come on so strong, it seems to me like she could probably get him. This is consistent with the rest of the cast in that her main problem is she -- like all of them in one way or another -- is trying way too hard.

[blakstealth]

I am extremely satisfied with how much more screentime and upgrades Rika has gotten this season. Even though the chances are slim to none, I'm still rooting for her~

edit: also, that 1 year bump

[Haiprbim]

She is just so hot without her glasses! <3 :D

[Lord of Fire]

IMO, she's become a totally different character now. Where I found her immensely annoying in the first season, she's becoming more and more awesome each time I see her.

[richardtengcy]

Why is she so pervert?

If you read the light novel, her pervert side is her outer shell meaning she act that way in order to try and catch the attention of Kodaka.

After completing the light novels to volume 8....i think Rika is the one that i like best because there's depth in her character and the manga version of Rika looks cuter and more moe than the LN and anime version.

[recover]

Rika is the biggest surprise of this season. Her tsundere maid performance last episode was awesome.

[Arturia Polaris]

I found her EXTREMELY annoying in the first season, to the point where she pissed me off.

But this new her is... very interesting. Her "dere" moments and overly attatched moments seem like running gags by now and I'm enjoying it.

And her tsundere maid also won me over.

She's the winner for me ATM.

Arty

[Yozora]

This girl is a fake, a phony and a farce.

Even though, she's still my #2 favorite character <3

[Solafighter]

When I started to read the manga a couple of years ago and then wached the anime version of it, I never thought, that Rika would be my favourite character in this series. She maybe has the most advanced personality in this show. The recent episode 10, the scene with Kodaka on the rooftop is really something. Rika beeing the first one to engage someone with "Afterall, we are friends, right?", certainly never saw that happening. Many things, I didn't expect, but that is, what maybe makes Rika so damn interesting.

[rantaid]

i like her because she has same opinion with me about meat.

[richardtengcy]

Rika starting to wear casual clothes instead of lab coat to the club in episode 11....anyone notice that?

[lightsenshi]

I've always thought Rika was one of the more under appreciated characters in the series. She's just really starting to show her potential near the end.

[risingstar3110]

Rika is like the heroine of S2 now. She has so much character developments inside and outside....


I couldn't stand her in the first season. But she has won me over now
