Semi-off topic.

I don't watch Eng sub so I can't tell.

So are we officially calling him "Second" instead of "Number Two" now? Just making sure before I go make some adjustments on things.

@Reply: Mmk thanks. No changes that is.

Well well well, here we sit at the start of the 3rd arc.

In one sentence: OMG CHIBI INABAN <3

On a more serious note, this just threw a nice random factor in. There's more than one "Fuusenkasura" (sp?). This new "enemy" might be more... lenient, or takes a different approach in his work. The first wouldn't really care much about the mental trauma caused to the 5, and we know that he only intended on having those 5 kids involved.

This new entity apparently wants Taichi to oversee everything, in secret. And based on the start of the episode, I believe that we may start seeing the other characters (Yuri loving class president anyone?) involved.

Also, on that note of the intro, Anyone notice the lack of OP? Maybe a new one is in order? (PLEASE PLEASE, NO MORE RAINBOWS). ED was really good, even if it gave off an air of K-On. Not really against it, but KnK still 1st in my list.

On the actual plot, this might actually be more than "fixing" one particular character. Aoki might get some nice screen time for a change, Yui might as well, but Iori is going to get her "wish" granted.

I always thought something was fishy about Aoki, he just crushed on Yui because he replaced this old crush of him with Yui. Yui of course is going to be crushed when she finds out about this, and with this old karate rival re-appearing...

Inaban. Now, I always had a theory of something happening to her when she was young, something involving her brother. There's a reason why her brother was shown a couple of times before, and... her clinging to Taichi so much when she was so small (<3) just makes me think a lot.

Iori. Of course she wasn't fixed last arc, at all. Nor was Inaban on that note. Iori still doesn't know who she is, nor do we know who she is. It's all hanging on Taichi at the moment, as Iori asked him to take note of her younger self. There lies the key. HOWEVER, Iori is sadly mistaken. She says that she regrets some choices she made in her life, and she'd rather have done something else. I disagree. My personal belief is that every choice you made, has made you what you are now. If you even change a small thing in the past, you wouldn't be who you are now.

No matter how much it hurts, no matter whatever you did, you have to live on with it. IF you change something, it'll be an insult to everyone around you, and yourself, as you'll be erasing who you are.

But that's just my personal thoughts on the matter. Iori is mistaken if she thinks that changing something from her past would have made her a better person. She is that person she is now because of her actions up to this point. If she had done something else, she wouldn't be the Iori we know. Even if she has a facade on, she's still Iori.

Also, it's interesting that the "age" of the transformation isn't fixed. And that the time is actually predictable.

So yeah, once again, this gets interesting.

Arty

EDIT: Also, Iori in that ED looks... beautiful. Damn it, still split between Inaban and Iori

EDIT 2: Inaban is actually smiling earnestly in the ED. Remember how Aoki mentioned that Taichi never smiled way back in ep1? Well, I've never seen Inaban smile. I've seen her smirk confidently, Laugh (last episode) but I've never seen her smile. Granted, it's just an ED, but still...

I noticed that the art on the anime is getting better. I compared Episode 1 with the latest and it was easily noticeable. It's nice to see that, even thought it doesn't play a huge role on this series.

Now, about the latest episode, I have to say I enjoyed it. Aoki got some character development and Inaba, like always, stole the show.

Judging by Yui's behavior, she was jealous when Aoki mentioned Nishino Nana. That shows us that she does love him. It was nice to see her reaction, at least for me.

Next episode looks interesting and with lots of drama. I hope it will be as good as this one.

Loli Inaban and Nagase

I don't know why Mr Second put Taichi in Knight place... is it because of his big influence in the group?

I really hope this Kako Random will affect the love life of StuCS group
finally we'll see a deep past of Aoki.. this is a big trial for Aoki-Yui relationship

It's little strange to see a fast-forward and honest Inaba... Nagase needs to work harder

If I remember correctly, the first Heartseed had some special felling about Taichi and even said something like: "That selfless freak really is something."

I think he and his comrade want to specifically test Taichi during this arc.

I hadn't heard that there would be extra eps on the BD release. I guess they will probably finish this arc with some kind of heartseed revelation, and then have some kind of showdown in the BD arc then.

I can't really comment on that for spoilers reason. But I can tell you that the last 4 episodes would be an adaptation of the 4th volume as stated in the BD titles.

OH GOD MY HEART!! Loli Inaba was way too adorable. I hope we'll get to see her again before the anime ends. For once, I fully approve of Heartseed's actions. As of now, I'm not sure what the point of introducing a different Heartseed is since we barely even know about the first one. Well, at least this tells us there are several of them. What the hell are they?

Aoki and his relationship with Yui are finally getting interesting. I never thought that would happen. I hope this will be handled well.

The only thing I disliked about this episode was how Taichi was relegated to the background. Once again, he is more of a plot device than an actual character. It was funny to have Heartseed #2 call him a knight after he's been called a white knight here to many times.

Overall, a really good start. Can't wait to see how the situation will develop.

Then why not call him/her/it #2?

Will be interesting to see how this goes, with everyone (minus one) being forced to face their childhoods in front of one another. Particularly where it concerns Yui and Aoki. After him going on for the last ten episodes about how much he loves Yui, it kind of complicates things to know that she reminds him of his first love. I'm sure both will ask at some point whether he'd really fallen in love with Yui or with the Nana he sees in her; I'm sure by now he's really in love with Yui, but it probably did indeed start with her resemblance to Nana.

Also, with Yui's friend/rival returning for a brief period and the suggestion that this one won't last as long, I wonder whether anyone else from these people's past is back in town, such as Nana or some of Iori's former "Dads".

While I'm not sure I like these Heartseeds, I must admit it looks to some extent like they might not be so bad. The things they've done certainly looked like they could ruin everyone, but in each case they became satisfied and entertained when their actions led the kids to face things about themselves and grow closer, more honest, etc. Maybe their main source of entertainment or objective isn't the chaos these things cause but the way the kids overcome the chaos and grow...

On one final note, since everyone else's temp ages were stated, how old was ChibiBan?

...Hmm, maybe because the "feel" of this song seems a lot closer to Team Nekokan's older works?
(It also seems the iTunes link for Cry Out is dead for some reason.)
