Folks on some Japanese sites I saw were joking about it to no end, but no, it wasn't actually Victorique's name so far as I could tell. Would have been a great seiyuu joke though.

I also loved the bit at the start with Tooru breaking the ice in the puddles. There can't be anyone in any country where puddles freeze that hasn't done that at some time or other!
I think we've seen some subtle and unforced character development in Tooru more than the others, over the series so far.

The Death Note reference was hilarious.

Spoiler for A Channel 11 - A Cake:

ars89 · 2011-06-17, 18:50

Nice memories of the past and of Tooru's birthday. Lol at how Yuuko and Run met. Also Yuuko has no luck, that wasabi cake must have been interesting. Lol at how Run tricked Tooru about when she dropped the box.

Raiga · 2011-06-17, 21:45

The ending made me sad.

So did the amount of onscreen text but that's another story...

Also, there have been some interesting guest stars recently. Hira-chan from this episode was played by MAKO, while "female student" from last episode was Fujita Saki. In fact, in episode 8, Kawano Marina, who sings the OP, made an appearance as "Mari" (who I can only assume is Nagi's fellow glasses girl).

andyjay729 · 2011-06-17, 21:47

Heh, what kind of sick baker puts wasabi in a cake? :P

And I get the feeling perhaps Run's mom was a lot like her daughter when she was her age. Since she now seems to be a relatively level-headed woman, maybe there's hope for Run yet.

Also liked the literal animated 4-koma format of the eyecatch.

Kagayaki · 2011-06-18, 12:38

I guess my feelings mirror Tooru's. Every episode is bringing us closer to the end of the series

Flower · 2011-06-19, 02:08

Okay ... after repeated suggestions from an acquaintance of mine I finally picked up this series late in the season, and I must admit I like it. It is kinda "cute" in a "light slice-of-life" kinda way.

But, without having read through this thread - was anyone else reminded of the Beatles when they first heard the ED?

Kotohono · 2011-06-20, 21:19

Run's mom was freaking hilarious and awesome in how she went about school thing from with Run's choice, then changed completely when she when Tooru's plan to follow Run, and her bribing Run

I went to watch episode 11 and it wasn't until after the OP was done that I realised I hadn't got any subs on, so I rolled with it and understood a suprising amount.

This weeks episode was far too sad, it's doing exactly what K-On did to me. It gets the girls really close and then it reminds you that after the next year one of them will be left alone.

Actually I was more reminded of the ED of Chobits during the first half of the series, especially with the intro which I guess is kind of Beatle-like.

You know that Toruu is a GENIUS. She could theortically bypass 3rd year.

I have a request. Does anyone know the name of the VA who is the brown-haired girl talking to Run at school about getting a tutor in ep. 11? Thanks.

liro · 2011-06-24, 05:30

Ah oheheh hoohey hah. Hah hoh hoh hi.

I think the series is pretty enjoyable, and I really love the character of Tooru. I’ll likely pick up the manga as well.

After watching the last episode, I want to taste a durian burger so freakin badly.

MeoTwister5 · 2011-06-24, 05:47

T'was a fun ride while it lasted. Nothing new or groundbreaking for this type of show, but genuinely fun and funny most of the time, and that's good enough for me.

Agreed, it was enjoyable and fun at the least to me.

Also this episode teased at Tooru liking Run that way if you ask me with the leaf scene and the one at the very end

if you ask me anyways

That would be MAKO.

This show was great, even if it didn't make me laugh, every episode left me with smile and warm fuzzies. I could stand another season or so.

Midonin Last Engage Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Florida	Spoiler for A Channel 11 - A Cake: Poor Tooru. Her birthday happens to fall right around the time of testing. This episode was of the sort that felt like K-ON! or Kanamemo. Sure, it manipulated my emotions, but sometimes, I don't mind having my emotions manipulated just a little bit. It's not like it shuts down my brain. Quite a lot of this episode was spent en flashback, and seeing the uniforms of the schools Nagi and Yuuko attended before they came here was nice. Yuuko was always a target of humiliation, even before she had really met Run and started getting wasabi-filled cake. The end of the episode, with Run realizing next year her friends will be third years, made her the Azusa of this group. Pangs the heart. Don't worry, Tooru. Even if I have to do it myself, I'll write you out a pleasant future. Think of Yutaka and Miporin as your Ui and Jun, and know that your old friends will never be forgotten, and new ones can always be found. These bonds are unbreakable, as expressed in this week's song, "Zutto Kitto Motto" (add one more "Motto" in there and it becomes something else entirely.) by Aoi Yuki. Even if there is only one more week, that's okay. Their adventures will continue, even if we're not watching.

Midonin Last Engage Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Florida	Spoiler for A Channel 12 - A Curtain Call: On today's episode of Denpa Onna Toorun Seishun Point, quite a lot of time is spent at Moz Burger. The gang got a small bear charm out of points found on food and drink, so it was time well spent. The transition between the restaurant and Tooru's home had to be the strangest the show has done. A bizarre dream sequence where Run actually is an alien. For the most part, though, the episode continued the themes established last week - Tooru's worries about the day when her friends have to leave her alone once more. That time is several years off, though, so for now, the little things in life can be appreciated, like bear charms and seeing Yutaka with her eyes open. And Run making little origami cranes - just like another Yuuko. Overall, I really enjoyed this show. The presentation was slick, the characters are endearing, and whoever approved the Phineas & Ferb-esque idea of putting a new insert song in every episode deserves a pat on the back. Is it an obvious ploy for money? Of course it is. But it's music. I don't particularly care how obvious it is. Now, Run, Tooru. Trace out that bright future!

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for final thoughts: It was better than I first expected. First episode was pretty boring, but it got better. Fun and calming series to watch. Not much happened and you just watched girls having fun with their friends, but that was the good thing. The manga didn't end, so there was no way to end the anime, but it is clear the staff didn't try to end it. Good, since this type of open end is a lot better than anything forced. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
