Ep 09: So Aoi conveniently gets a cold when they all go to the beach? And according to Subaru, it's rare for her to catch one during the summer. Sounds like the lolicon gods simply decided that the young lad needed to spend more time playing with his girls without the interference of the childhood friend...

Blame material cutting. A LOT of things were cut to make an entire volume of story fit in a single episode, to the point where certain things cease to make a lot of sense.
Although that might just be the fact that I actually read the volumes... |

Judging from others, I'd probably have similar complaints about the current spot if I could find the volumes somewhere (I'm good enough at kanji to make things out, but bad enough that I wouldn't be surprised if one short volume could take me months). Perhaps things will be brought in later. It wouldn't hurt to have a semi-end followed by concluding OVAs. Either way I didn't catch anything that doesn't currently make sense from my blank-slate viewpoint. Having knowledge of the original can be both a good thing and a bad I guess.
Anyway, now I know why that one woman decided to be a grade-school nurse... And she and Mihoshi make a bad combo. It's very bad to immediately assume that a person harbors feelings of romance or lust toward certain people. It doesn't matter if it's Mihoshi punishing him for his assumed perversions, or the nurse declaring her support and understanding of why he should feel that way. Both cases are too fast to jump to conclusions and blow things out of proportion, and I've actually heard of people who've "realized" how they "really feel" because of overzealous persecution and/or support. Just like trying to avoid looking like a lolicon forces him to look for the sexual side of things, forcing him to defend himself or explaining in detail the charm of the lolis pushes him further in the wrong direction. Doesn't help that Mihoshi enjoys helping the girls seduce Subaru anytime she can. Frankly, Mihoshi might be better off leaving it to the girls. While occasionally things get dangerous, chances are that at least one of them will say something stupid that will remind him that they're just kids. Even if they talk about choosing a "bold" swimsuit with which to "seduce" Subaru. That said, I AM just a little disappointed that the show's focusing so excessively on the fanservice aspect, to the point that it could get in the way of real plot. Bath shots are ok if done sparingly or with some sort of good pretense, but doing them every single ep and having conversations that could just as easily be done elsewhere is overboard. |

(I'll check back later, as it seems I'm not the only one who thought the same thing I thought back in ep 07, "where's the basketball?" ) Although Subaru did make note of how there hasn't been any goals concerning progress. |

damn misleading animation concerning girl's figure. In some scenes Hinatas seems to outdo Airi on curves. Good they balance fanservice with some plot progression. For all the wrong flags this shows raises in me I enjoy it a lot. Hopefully by the end of it i won't consider taking closer look of EroKing's roaster.

We get two pool episodes in a row and then they follow that up with a beach episode which of course included tentacle rape and loss of bikini tops... and as if it wasn't enough, they still included the obligatory bath scene. I don't even know what to say
Hinata and her sister's story was okay. Speaking of Hinata, I have a confession to make: I'm getting seriously annoyed by her voice (don't kill me!) . She sometimes reminds me of Sae's voice from Amagami, though it's thankfully not as bad. Oh, and this scene... Please tell me I'm not the only one who misinterpreted it.

Episode 09
Ah, I wish Railgun-nurse shows up more often. But the sad part was using her to replace Aoi-chan, gah giving her a cold during the beach ep was a heinous crime! I DEMAND A RE-ANIMATION OF EP 09
But the story of the sisters was actually a nice addition to the story, since I had wondered why Hina was considered the weaker of the team, when actually all this time she has been working hard to not be the frail girl others see her as. Good bit of the story, although Railgun-nurse totally surprised me with her "fetishes" I had to laugh at the bath scene, when Hina goes after the gecko. Here in the Philippines there's so many of them, and yes they hang around the shower too, and I've caught quite a bit. No I don't harm them, but I totally liked how Hina just went after it Aoi's next ep preview was so fun to listen to. Must play on loop.... Quote:
How long since the School Rumble manga made it's debut?.... Forget it, I forgot But one thing I'll never forget is how many readers were flabbergasted that the more mature-looking sister was actually the younger one. Ever since then I had to train myself to not be surprised by this scenario anymore XD That was a shocking part of the ep for me, when Airi practically says that she's gotten bigger already. And yet I don't see them bounce! My heart is broken I'm rooting for the right side. You know, those green-colored palette swimsuits. Yeah that's right, I love the swimsuits! Don't send me to jail Quote:
Except Miho-neechan. Really, school swimsuit? Missed her glory days? XD Quote:
Oh you're not the only one The first thing I kept note of was their positions, Maho and Miho near the feet, and then Saki/Hina, and then Mokan and Airi. I know for a fact Mokan/Airi weren't touching his feet, so..... |

I'm pretty sure someone's going to make an animated gif of the girls doing that. How can they not?
I rather liked how Kage seems to think that it's her fault that Hina's stayed small. Don't know if I was seeing things, but it looked like Hina was squeezing that gecko much too hard. "If you don't want to save on car insurance, you could have just...erk:chokes:" EDIT: Sorry, I didn't notice that the gif already was animated. And as for EroKing's declaration, did it really take you this long to figure that out? BTW, one thing I was wondering: what was Mihoshi doing in the men's bath? Or was she peeking? She had to be one or the other to know immediately and come running when Subaru found Hinata in there. Last edited by Seiryuu; 2011-09-03 at 22:26. |
