Sakura is like some evil parasites that has spawned in his brains. What the heck is so good about Sakura?? Zero backstory, and nothing to empathize for about her character.

Mikoto was the best this episode since she punched the dumb shit on everyone's behalf. And she biting on the pillow was so cute. <3

Someone needs to wash his brain with soap.

Actually, i was thinking of how the author wanted to subvert,avert,invert and make parodies of usual harem tropes and..........

It makes sense now.
Remove usual harem lead perverseness.
Remove usual harem lead butt monkeyness.(Nosebleeds included)
Remove usual harem lead accidental pervert.
Remove usual harem lead indecisiveness between harem members and main love interest

...............isnt that more or less Natsuru?

ep 8,

is it just me? that this ep has a Bakemonogatari parody in it?, with all the music, setting & stuffs?

Key Board · 2009-11-23, 09:12

maybe not so far as to call it a Bakemonogatari parody, but Shizuku does remind me of Senjoghara Hitagi

Many times over you mean. She could barely sate herself with both Natsuru's male and female form and that guy would still think otherwise.

ah, ok, i get it now,
darn you Solar panels in the background!!

but there's not enough action scenes in this ep,
the only best scene is Akane reducing Natsuru's bedroom into swiss cheese with her pistol, now how the heck he would explain that problem to his family now?

& speaking of Akane, how the heck did she GET into Natsuru's house anyway? did he forgot to lock the door?/ Akane just goes Solid Snake with her pistol at the door?/ she learned the MacGuyver lock-picking from a certain Indiana Jones childhood friend/ something else?

Spoiler for NSFW:

Mikoto is too damned cute when she is mad. I didn't know that she can execute falcon punches with her off-hand.

most likely, i'm sure akane can't resist the ability to lock pick natsuru's house from mikoto's teaching...

Nvis · 2009-11-23, 12:25

This latest episode was pretty boring.

Needed more female Natsuru.

1. I'm sure he has his reasons he hasn't told us... maybe.
2. He might have been created by her?! @Gigalomaniac
3. Looks?
4. If you ask that, you might as well ask why any protagonist in any anime gets a harem because you see nothing good about them.

Mentar · 2009-11-23, 16:10

Heaven comes to he who waits ^_^

I'm convinced we'll get to some Kaede backstory soonish. (Just like I think we'll get backstory to the other girls too. Shizuku has been the first)

Triple_R · 2009-11-23, 16:17

I really don't get the Sakura hate.

She has consistently carried herself in a very fair and forthright manner. Her approach has been consistent, and with one exception, she's always been reasonably nice and very accommodating. It was wrong of her to snap at male Natsuru like she did several episodes ago, but she had a decent olive branch scene with him later on.

Yes, Sakura has a very one-track mind, but that's my only issue with her really, and it's no more one-track than Akane's mind is, really.

Sakura is assertive, clear, and emotionally expressive.

3. Shizuku already asked the same question, there are other beauties beside her. She being one herself but she didn't mention her own name, just Mikoto and Akane.
4. Actually, not every main character's romantic interest in a harem show goes without a reason. Even harem anime can have development for the 'female lead', but there's zero development for this crazy lesbian.
Just some random example, Rito and Lala, Ikuto and Suzu, and how about Love Hina? They all turn out to be pretty nice girls that people can empathize with.

Shizuku pushed herself into Natsuru's face... literally.

She also basically told Natsuru that they'd be dating. Isn't that something you normally ask for?

Mizuno · 2009-11-23, 18:18

Robbing the male protagonist from the more deserving girls is a crime.

Especially when her character is so flat.

I think the difference is that Shizuku isn't screechy-possessive at all. Where Kaede would rush in "NO YOU MUSTN'T, SHE'S MINE" style (like Akane, by the way), Shizuku is leaving the other girls way enough breathing space.

Remember the beauty pageant? Here, first Kaede had her chance for a kiss (interrupted by Akane), and then Akane herself (pushed Natsuru away). Shizuku even added at the end that she was quite excited by the scenes, yet she let the others be. She only intervened when she had to - when Akane was about to kill Kaede.

So, assertiveness is fine, when it's delivered the way Shizuku does.

Personally, i wouldn't say she is. She asked him out on a date, and he accepted. What's pushy or in your face about that?
