Can't even lie...I saw Kodaka run out that bitch, and I laughed SOOOO damn hard. My mans didn't want none of that, and got the hell out of dodge.
Anyway, decent episode. Though I'm kind of shocked about some people's responses about the Yusa part. If anything, this part showed how Yozora and Sena can really be some evil bitches, they definitely deserve to be in this club lol. Sena was too much with the "I'm rich and you're all worthless" card, she can be just as turrible as Yozora. Anyway, the main topic of discussion, the Kodaka bail out. Can't blame the guy, you don't confess to a guy in front of the rest of the girls who also like him, and expect an answer off the fly like that. It took her a while before she even realized what she did. But even then, what was he suppose to say? He was literally surrounded in a room of potential landmines. Sena needs to do something like that in private. Anyway, one more episode, almost 100% sure this won't get resolved in this season, or he might just go and friendzone all of them...actually, I can see that happening. Though my senses tell me majority of people hating on Kodaka are Sena fans, of course you want him to choose right now lol.

^ Agreed.
The hawk just has issues and is afraid of change. The next episode will probably dive more into his reasons for retreating and give the series a satisfying conclusion. That, or they'll do an OreImo thing and expand the anime with a 3-episode Good End Route (wishful thinking, yes, but a guy can dream, can't he?). |

I'm trying to look at storyline cues (if there are any) and base my predictions on the meta concepts. As far as I can see, the confession wasn't being treated by the story as an actual romantic development but was being used as a device for a larger plot point. If it really was a romantic development, then you would've thought the focus of that scene would've been what Sena thought of Kodaka and what Kodaka thought of her. Instead the scene came across as more what the confession meant to Kodaka and the Neighbourhood club as a whole. That doesn't strike me as a serious attempt on developing the SenaxKodaka ship.

I agree with the point about looking at meta concepts such as momentum and trends in predicting future events. I would even argue that the author himself doesn't know for sure how the story is going to turn out - he might have a general plan of some sort, but it is by no means set in stone - as shown from some of the comments in the author's notes about how certain elements of the story were unexpected even to him.
My interpretation of the confession was that the author needed a big event to shake up the Neighbours' Club as a lead in to the next part of the story. It didn't have to be a confession, it could have been someone quitting the club or moving away, or even a major conflict that causes a huge rift between the members, but the author chose to have a confession because it was the option with the highest commercial value. The same thing appears to have happened in OreImo, with a certain someone's confession and short dating stint as a way to take advantage of her large fanbase. It seems clear to me as well that both series have structured their respective events in such a way such that big shipteases coincide with the schedules of their corresponding anime.

Sigh.
All the Kodaka hate. Look, Kodaka's reaction was not the best way to handle it, but frankly Sena really acted inappropriately too. You just don't propose marriage in a public setting without first knowing the answer. As a man you ought to know that, it would put the woman in an impossible position if she wants to say no. It could be considered manipulative. Not that I think Sena is being manipulative, she's just rushing forward, oblivious to social norms as usual. You especially don't do something like this in front of your romantic rival- at least not if you want her to be your best friend, which Sena obviously does. This is a love triangle, not just with Sena and Yozora fighting over Kodaka, but also having a friendship as well- and this just blew a huge hole in it- and after all the progress this episode. This has to be Yozora's nightmare ever since Sena joined the club. Sena put Kodaka in a situation where there was no right answer only a least wrong answer. Which, assuming that Kodaka is not really interested in romance right now, would probably be to to say something along the lines that he's still in highschool and way to young to think about marriage, and that he really doesn't want to have a girlfriend, but that he does really enjoy Sena's company as a friend and he would like to continue being friends. Sort of leaving open the door to the possibility of something later. Still would have hurt Sena something awful. Running away was also hurtful, but not that much worse then the best option. Compare this to the Rika situation, where she approached Kodaka alone, and thus allowed him to clumsily let her down sort of gently. Mainly because Rika did the hard work of reading between the lines, but still- Rika handled it very well which prevented it from becoming a disaster despite Kodaka's less then stellar handling. Sena is even clumsier than Kodaka. As for Aoi, I thought it obvious that she was really just trying to force Sena to acknowledge her, and she didn't really care about shutting down the club. Too bad Sena isn't "clever" like Yozora and finally just brutalized Aoi out of the way. Although I guess she did move up from "who are you?" to "stop pissing on my flower garden you stupid dog."

Exactly what I saw in the last 2-3 Episodes Discussion/Poll threads.
I personally love that guy for what he does. He is not perfect alright, but he is good and I have full respect towards the character, although it is imaginary. |

No, just picking one girl and casting aside a good friendship with multiple people just to get some ass is not realistic people. Wait, for a person with common sense, that isn't realisitc. But for someone just trying to get some ass, that's very realistic lol.

hmmm i hope this turn out ok and they go back to normal at least for a few volume, this is suppose to be light hearted comedy not drama crap. cause i can see no way this could end well no matter what Kodaka do or choose. the only ending i can see is an open ending where everyone declare their love and rivalry.

I referred to a small portion of the Author's Notes from volume 8 of the light novel in the other thread
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...15#post4593815 The author said that that character turned out to be more important than he originally envisioned, which I infer to mean that the particular plot point he was involved in was actually unplanned and could have been a way to plug a few holes caused by the detour in an earlier part of the story.

It's about priorities, not whether it's realistic or not. Of course, I give leeways to the female characters in this anime because they are all love rivals.

He could have asked for time to make a decision. If a certain character from another series I love can do that, why can't Kodaka?
P.S. That character is an idiot and I can't say his name cause of spoiler issues.
