You're still exposing yourself to that danger coming into this thread. Also, the thread can sometimes derail as it gets longer, though the mods do their best. Only a day or two til the next episode. Spoiler for ryuuji:

The criteria is usually ONCE A SHOW HAS BEEN FANSUBBED, my observation is that the mods consider it a lesser problem with comparing it to its source material .. and really there's little difference in that particular case. She simply ran farther in the novel and less far in the anime (being barefoot, etc).
I suppose in subforum threads there could be a "compare and contrast" thread but it is already pretty confusing for a lot of posters as to what can be said where

I had the same feelings which is why i stated I feel like Ryu at this point in time is more in love with the idea of liking Minorin than actually liking her. There is plenty of evidence of support it. It may be unfair but lets get real if Ryu had to make a decision of who is more important to him who would he pick?

Hmm... chalk up another iteration of 'unconscious love'. Not that it's a bad thing, but I personally find it ironic that the one show *cough*kimpossible*cough* that temporarily gripped me out of anime's hold dealt with the same thing lol.
In any case, this was anything but unexpected. Considering how Ryuuji and Taiga stuck to each other like your stereotypical childhood best friends, it should follow that their realization of their true feelings would be somewhat like how the archetype handles it. Now that Taiga is aware of her feelings, now its only Ryuuji to sort out the mess he is in. And with 5 or so episodes to go, that should be more than enoguh time to settle the dust between him, Minorin, and Taiga. Another irony, in that the real childhood friends (Ami and Kitamura) are anything but. Of course, one can make a case that Ami's supposed 'angriness' at Ryuuji's situation would not be because of jealousy, but because of how it kinda mirrors at her own situation with Kitamura. Of course, that might just be my tinted shipper glasses talking, as I still can't forget at her smile during the summer episode, when Kitamura specifically stated that he chose to go to her villa over staying in town and help the student council prez. |

Your shipper glasses are looking at the right direction, after all Kitamura had said that he liked the real Ami, and she seems to be getting tired of Ryuuji so it's quite possible that they'll end up together at the end of the show.

Did Kitamura mean like as in 'like like' or just as friends since he's known her for a while? It wouldn't be a horrible ending for the guy, that's for sure. *jealous* haha.

The fact that it could be a spoiler for someone who wants to read the novels after the anime is a completely different matter all together (of which admittedly I had never thought, since I was of the opinion that reading a novel/manga after having watched the anime would already have spoiled you enough, but that was just an assumption of mine). Anyway, use of properly tagged spoiler tags , when comparing said situations, should make the deal.
