I don’t know how many moe fans share this sort of philosophy, but I’ve always been highly annoyed with the lack of recognition of opinions like mine by critics of moe and the moe fandom. Quote:

For those of you complaining about the "treatment" of Mashiro-chan, you do realise the show is literally called "The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall" right?
I didn't read the novels, so I don't know if they will ever develop her out of her ineptitude - she is more or less an "idiot savant", she excels are reproducing imagery but is nearly a complete zero is every other way. It might not be necessary though, just because she has trouble grasping "social norms" doesn't mean she is incapable of falling in love.

Bah, Mashiro should just take a hint from her namesake in Bakuman. Obviously her art is gonna be top notch (heck the manga should get attention just because it's drawn by an internationally renowned artist), but she should just tag team with someone who can actually write the story.

From that preview I thought we were just gonna have a fun festival episode to relax a little but from what I can tell from the poor google translation of the tweet posted it mentions tears and moving scenes,so I guess we're in for more drama.

Seriously doubting he's ever going to leave Sakurasou, can't see that happening. Either that or he moves out, *cue epiphany about life without Sakurasou* and moves back in.
I would also post a spoiler, but can't figure out how to... (newbie)

She does have "moments of insight" - actually "weird" characters like her (in addition to smart ones) are normally the ones to deliver them because of their "outsider" perspective. And just because a person is a "idiot savant" doesn't mean they are completely incapable of reasoning BTW. The main traits of "idiot savants" are their exceptional talent in a very specific area but are "severely impaired" when it comes to other parts of life.

Of course Sorata can't actually leave or the series will be done. Either he'll figure out why he can't leave while preparing to do it or he'll leave and in no time at all be right back in there.

Of course now I'm just looking forward to this .

I just watched episode 2 and 3 back to back. Great stuff.
I loved the ending bit where it showed Jin, Misaki, Shiina and Sorata (her putting on a blanket on him again, and again, and again until she took the one that was covering her to put it on him was adorable) all alone and in pain. |

catching up with the series...
I like anime with inferiority theme because it pictured myself very well... I guess I'll learn a lot from Sorata Kanda (and Aoyama, maybe?) well, I'm expecting little romance in future episode because episode 3 is little painful for the watcher... involving too much emotion is very bad for my heart... looking forward for this series... hopefully they will do a good adaptation from the novel |
