It definitely is a translation mistake. The Japanese word for that (青い )(pronounced as aoi) has two meanings; either blue or green, but it relates more to blue than green.

Anyway, this has got to be the best episode I've watched in Amagami SS. Full of laughter and wackiness. I think I laughed the hardest when I saw the foreign version of Miya...lol at the foreign version of nishishishi...

And Jessica is awesome too like Haruka. Haruka with "Lovely" as her middle name and Jessica with "Sexy" as her middle name...haha...

EDIT: Yeah, I remember harkua's middle name having Love or something. Thanks for letting me know it's Lovely, Sumeragi

It's actually Lovely. Basically....

Haruka Lovely Morishima
Jessica Sexy Morishima

LOL Hibiki gets roped into one of Haruka's roleplaying games I was worried she might just die from embarrassment !! I know I would if I had to call someone 'papa' and proclaim one of them to be pregnant


Jessica Sexy Morishima... Now I've seen it all...


P.S - Junichi be a man! Do the right thing!

After seeing the episode, I now totally understand why they saved this arc for last. It's not just because Haruka's a popular character, but because her story deals with graduation, and the underlying theme is nostalgia, saying farewell, and moving on -- just like we're all going to have to do. So it's perfect for a conclusion to this show (omake OVA notwithstanding).

Other than that, I have to agree with the general consensus here that this was probably one of the best episodes of the show. It's actually funny because, despite being one of the more bold and adventurous characters, "Haruka in love" is actually quite bashful too. That's why they had to introduce Jessica to provide the little bit of extra push that Haruka herself provided in the early part of the first season (so it's no surprise they they're practically twins). Of course, no surprise either that Jessica's extra "forwardness"... and her extra bust size... are attributed to her being a foreigner. Ah, stereotypes...

Also, going back to the shack was a good call-back. Not all the other arcs had such obvious call-backs, but this one fit in really well.

Well, the ending of next week is pretty much telegraphed: Haruka graduates, and Junichi proposes... but I'm looking forward to seeing it play out anyway. Should be a fitting ending (again, with the OVA to come).

You know, sometimes i wonder what was their grandfather thinking when he gave them those names.

Spoiler for What i'm talking about:

In Amagami: Love Goes Haruka arc manga, Haruka explains her middle name is not her mother's maiden name but a middle name given to her by her British grandfather.

Jessica...

I wonder what'll be Junichi's reaction if Jessica and Haruka did a "switch"... LOL

Since the only difference is hair color and some accents.

*delusions rising*

^you forgot boob size

Haruka has been my favorite since the first season and she still is now. Her relationship w/ Junichi is ahead of the other girls; Haruka's thinking about marriage for crying out loud, haha. The episode was good and I can't wait for the next one. We all know they get married based on the first season, so I'm sure this season's ending will not disappoint.

[Divini]

This episode was just win.

- Seeing Haruka all flustered over her secret and Jessica's kiss
- Epic roleplaying with Hibiki - "P-Papa... Okaerinrin!"
- For some reason Blond Miya's "Nishishishi" made me rofl for a while.

I try not to let that kind of stuff bother me, as it's pretty benign overall, but it is still very silly... at best. Another mitigating factor is the fact that Jessica came across as an extremely likeable character.

That's a good point, Haruka has changed a lot now that she's actually developed serious feelings for Junichi. On one hand, it's an interesting irony that she, as you point out, is getting the same push applied to her now, but on the other, I feel that perhaps she's changed a little too much. I'd surely be lying if I said I didn't enjoy seeing Haruka blush and fluster, but I think I miss her more assertive and bold personality traits a bit. (Not that they're gone, of course, just a bit subdued.)

It is a minor gripe regardless; she's still an amazingly entertaining character, and this was a very entertaining episode. I'm happy they held onto this arc all the way to the end this time. I felt that they played their trump card right out of the bat last season, and that resulted in a bit of a downward slope. This time, Haruka was the top of gold waiting at the end of the rainbow, and we're finally there.

very good episode. If the second half its like the first it would be great. Cant wait for next episode. Morishima-senpai still my favourite.

[DragoZERO]

That was so silly. Sexy as a middle name, really?

And her eyes were not green. Someone made an oops.

[Candyshark]

I never could get into Haruka's Club. She is too playful and too sweet for my liking. But episode was great simply great with Hibiki and role-play. Being daring is always a plus in my book.

She cool, though.

[Supah Em]

how many hours more before episode 12 airs?

[blakstealth]

edit: *sees post date* It aired 5 hours ago. :P

This was a fun episode. The roleplay games Haruka gets into are just too fun . Even better that Hibiki got dragged into them. The priest wasn't too bad, the doctor was a bit tougher, but then she gets the job of being their child . She did a pretty good job though of teasing both Haruka and Junichi.

Junichi's imagination is something that will never stop amazing me .

It is fun to see Haruka a bit flustered. Obviously wanting Junichi to propose on her graduation day, but not wanting to outright ask for it. Though subtle hints might be too tough for Junichi to decipher.
