Watching the ep right now on livestream...

So far I must say Yukiatsu is such a jerk. Dx I wish I could just slap him. DDDDX

[BetoJR]

Oooooooooh, bad tidings, then.

[Sebasu]

Spoiler for OMG....:

OMG I KNEW IT at the end. HOLY CRAP. I never expected the reveal to be this fast!
This episode got me at the edge of my seat. Best one so far!

[.x.crii.x.]

Holy sh----

Spoiler for ep. 4:

It really was Yukiatsu who was crossdressing. And Tsuruko knew all along. O: Man, the look on his face when everyone discovered him. OOO:

Can´t wait till the subs are out.

[Kanon]

Spoiler:

At first I was like "Just as planned"



But then...





I'm in tears

Yukiatsu confirmed for sicko of the season.

[.x.crii.x.]

I'm just wondering....

Spoiler for wondering:

so he bought the dress right? Because I mean, he obviously wouldn't fit into one of Menma´s.

[omimon]

I told you guys man. Creepy Creeper is creeper.

[serenade_beta]

Yu ki a tsu

And the ED's synchronization... "Saikou no Omoide wo~~~~"
Sure is a great memory, yes.

[tsunade666]

first part makes yukiatsu more like a jerk then after the scene with Ginta in front of the temple like scene his an idiot then at his house trying to call out mena a sore loser and at the end.... his an idiot max with a grin in his face but at least tsuruko knew and that's why she was always with him when going in shopping.

The last scene was priceless. Creepy maniac is creepy basta*d.

Nice going there Ginta but if I where you I would hit that idiot already. Trying to act high and mighty.

[Solace]

Spoiler for Episode 4:

So it was Yukiatsu cross dressing. Dude has some problems. Kinda figured Tsuroko was in on it, but my guess was flipped around. Ah well. Didn't think the reveal would be this fast though. Probably for the best, so the story doesn't get too bogged down.

And now for the sub wait.

[Triker]

Nice work Tsuruko "Just as planned"

Ha ha now everyone knows that Yukiatsu is a creepy bastard.

[pagan poor]

So Tsuruko outed Yukiatsu. And read him like a book. Epic.

[physics223]

I guess most of us were right in thinking it was Yukiatsu.

[SuzushinaYuriko]

Holy crap, a crackish theory actually got proven right for once.

Sure, he's creepy, but I feel sorry for him. He has to have some deep psychological issues to crossdress as Menma and wander around like that at night. I hope the rest of the group can snap him out of it.

[Riga92]

Spoiler for Ep. 4 lolwut:

I knew it! Yukiatsu wanted to be the little girl

But seriously just wow, that is just pathetic. I wonder how is he gonna redeem himself from this.

[Mr.Garfield]

yeah i actually feel sorry for him at the ending (though i really wanted to punch him at the marathon scene)
And i'm not someone who easily have sympathy for an antagonist. Must say they did a good job with this episode.

And I love Tsuruko:x

[darkmanure]

Tsuruko showing her tough love to Yukiatsu.

I really enjoyed the Jinta and Naruko moment they had there.

[OceanBlue]

Spoiler:

Gah, still so many things that need resolving. Really, the only things that were resolved this episode were the group slowly realizing that Menma would want them to be together and the group finding out Yukiatsu's crossdressing as Menma.

Where does this all lead? What does it mean for the other characters? Will Anaru lose her other friends [who she seems to actually think are genuinely good]? It needs to be next week already!

Also, I wonder how Anaru and Jintan will start to connect again. Jintan seems to have a really strong rejection field up. He seems uncomfortable even with Poppo, who's probably the least offensive character in the cast for him.

[hero147]

Yukiatsu=creepy... Dude needs to cure his alpha male complex.
