Biased much? Because this, with all due respect, is utterly ridiculous and shows nothing more but blind hatred for Yozora. Please be reasonable. |

I certainly didn't like Yozora constantly hitting Senna with the fly swatter but I wonder what made her and Rika leave. I thought with Yozora it might have something to do with Kodaka but it looks like it's her own more personal problem around other people. Glad to see they're willing to take that seriously rather than just play it for laughs.
Kobato was pretty damn hilarious what with the transformation scene.

Yozora is my favorite character from the manga and from the anime thus far. I have been there both the situations she was in.
Crowded buses can really take a toll on your body. It's also not fun being in a pool when there's too many people. You can't swim much and the water becomes quite warm due to everyone's body heat thus unable to enjoy a nice cool experience.

As much as bias is annoying (though everyone's biased to some degree), people serving as "character defense squads" (who have to defend their favourite character's honour every time they're spoken ill of no matter what) are even more annoying to me. That goes for both "sides" of this, of course. At least let's try to keep it on-topic by addressing the actual arguments made.

From my point of view it's not because Yozora wanted to ruin Sena's fun time she decided to come. In fact Yozora already noticed the pool will be filled by riajuu she hates during summer. The reason is because what Yozora and Kodaka said at the club room: they go as an exercise/simulation if in the future they get 'real' friends and those friend ask them to go to pool together.
It's already clear Yozora hates riajuu, and she even told Kodaka she couldn't really interact with normal people but she's fine interacting with others who socially-inept or have few friend. That by itself should be understandable if she couldn't stand on the place with too many people, but she still can endure public place like book store, public transportation, etc anyway. What Yozora and Rika couldn't take was the over-crowd on the bus and the pool, that's too much for them. No one know (or even see it coming) that the pool gave whopping 50% off during summer, just the time when the pool is on its highest demand (some company would charge more if they were on that kind of condition XD). If the pool weren't that full but Yozora and Rika still decide to leave, I think Kodaka co won't leave immediately since they're already there and Kobato was looking forward to swim, so they could still have little bit fun. Spoiler for What happen on LN after Yozora & Rika left:
And FYI, I like Sena more than Yozora

How can Kodoka and others can't see that they are already a friend? They already have friends. The Neighbor Club is a success. Why Kodaka wants more friends?
So, is it safe to say that Rika and Yozora are social anxiety sufferers? Both of their reactions really made me chuckled. It is a cute scene when Sena trying to befriend Kobata. I guess both of them really look similar, as if they are sisters. The best part of this episode is the shark scene. Really got me. No, it got everyone else, as well. Can't wait for the next episode. |

Actually he noticed that Kobato wearing the same summer clothes she wear several months ago and tells her she didn't grow physically but he prevented from telling anything unnecessary further. Kobato retaliated against Maria for being too clingy with her brother, I suspect she would do the same thing the moment she feels threatened that any other girls would attempt to steal her onii-chan. This episode reminds me of something called Memories of the Past. I felt uneasy to use Kobato's gif this episode. Although it's not a good idea to tackle the problem Rika and Yozora facing about being social phobic which I can related too gives me this episode a 10 rating despite the animation drop which not really that matters, I'm also social phobic until the emergence of cell phones and internet which back then just go nuts with telephone usage as a way to remove stress, anxiety, and being deprive of having nobody to talk with due to some circumstance glad that technology really help out. I finally manage to get some true and not quasi friends during high school but still scared that I get some sweat and always went to a crowd less area to relieve me from having a hard time. Being social phobic is hard to cure as people nowadays is not easy to trust and just believe cause we don't know what may happen in the later future so having true friends even just one which this series is all about. Next week, I wonder what Sena's father and Kodaka would talk about I hope it's not what I'm afraid of. Kobato should remain Kobato. |

You're talking about the same guy that only until recently just figured out the truth power of a handphone. And yes, none of them realized that they're already friends- Their thinking is that they want to make friends outside of this club... Which would be more convincing had they show us that they have been trying -_- |

Yeah, I think because the goal they're trying to reach is to befriend the riajuus, that's why they're doing (or as they say, exercising/experimenting) things what they think riajuus usually do ^^
If not doing any special activities, they're basically just be there on the club room, doing their own thing on their own world. Yozora's reading a book, Sena's playing galge, Rika's doing whatever she does with her laptop, Yukimura's just standing if he's not serving tea, etc. So it's pretty understandable they hard to see each other as a friend. Perhaps they see each other as "fellow people who suffered the same 'sickness', one way or another"

First off, they have an inability to see themselves as friends. Second, I actually think this is a very good premise for any show, let alone something as strangely funny as this one. It's definitely a better one than "who will male lead end up with?", especially since only two of the girls are real candidates.

The whole being blind to what's right in front of them thing isn't even an unusual trope. How many anime (or even western romantic comedies) have we seen where two romantically unlucky and obviously compatible people go on a "practice" date because they feel comfortable with each other, but remain completely oblivious to the implications of how easily it comes to them? |

Yeah I think that's meant to be the joke: That they can't realise that they're already friends with each other.
But even so you could easily explain it by them thinking in the long term. I mean it's more than likely that as they grow older they won't be able to keep in touch, and they can't form a club at every turn in their lives so it's better to learn now.

In Sena's case, she wants a female best friend who she can do everything with, kinda like what Tomo-chan is supposed to be; but none of the club members seem to really fit this troupe for her (she would obviously like it if Kobato were to take such place, though). Yozora's case hasn't been detailed that much, but with the characteristics of Tomo-chan we can safely say she is looking for someone very precious to her Spoiler:

While we can see the others improve gradually, Yozora not only doesn't show any improvement, but rather gets worse. First it was "only" excessive bitching and cussing, now it's already hitting people with fly swatters. Her treatment of others will probably get even more violent. That girl really has serious issues and needs professional help. ...

Seems my post regarding Yozora was also moved to Kobato thread since I quoted Shimapan XD

And just like Okashira said on the spoiler tag, Spoiler for Yozora:
It probably just me because the object she used, but I saw the fly swatter violent as a comical joke and it actually made me chuckle. Her bullying that get on my nerve is the kind like when she was throwing Sena's PSP or she tricked Maria to run outside naked

Yozora did look pretty disappointed when leaving.
When Kodaka said "She still hasn't changed" I automatically assumed he meant that Yozora still wasn't willing to make friends with them, but i'm still weary at my own answer since at the same time she was the one who created the club in the first place. She seems to be doing well with Rika and Kodaka.
