Man, this ep just made me switch to the Nanami camp, even though it's a sinking ship.

Welcome to the camp! Put your life jacket on! We're far out-numbered and surrounded by the enemy, and there is little hope for reinforcement or, indeed, survival. If past episodes are anything to guide us by, our heroine will be dealt not one, but two crushing blows in the next episode.

It matters little that Nanami would clearly be the best choice for a successful long-term relationship. The MC is your typical boy character who falls for the typical girl character who uses sex appeal to get her man (mainly since she has nothing else to offer).

Wow, denial much? Please keep it in the KyoAni series threads, we don't need that nonsense here.

The way she rejected the classmate which name escapes me few episodes back, makes Nanami deserving her sinking ship.

Was there a way that she should reject so as to not deserve her sinking ship?

The guy whose name I don't remember just confess out of the blue without even thinking properly and his timing is way off since Nanami is in the hurry. That guy deserves it though maybe not outright rejection but it looks like he already knows it but he still moves on because it will just leave lingering regrets if he doesn't say it.

Actually, now that you mention it. That guy reminds me of Nanami in a way that Nanami should already notice it, with the way Sorata treats Mashiro but she still moves on and make a move. Good luck Nanami I will cheer for you. (readying a heavy drink because I will be needing it)

Oh, my apologies. I didn't realize that you were the thread police and that I was only allowed to voice your opinions.

How does rejecting an unwanted confession equate to deserving a rejection of your own confession? Or do you just want her to fail, no matter what?

It doesn't matter that the relationship the MC has with whoever is long-term, or successful? Or it doesn't matter who is the best "choice?" I'm not clear on what your response alludes to.

Although Mashiro may have many qualities to recommend her as an artist, what qualities does she have, other than sexual attractiveness, that would make her a better girlfriend than Nanami? As an outside observer, I would find Nanami far more suitable for a long-term relationship. Mashiro would be good for a very short-term fling before I got tired of having to remind her to get dressed and put her pants on before going outside.

I suspect that if we continue this banter the real thread police will get annoyed and issue us warnings.

See, the problem I have with your statement is that you're treating Nanami as nothing more than a 'resource' to serve and take care of her lover. You might not have said it, but that's what you're implying by 'long terms'.

Loyality? They're both equal.
Determination and hardworking? Yup both of them again.
Honesty? Same again.
Kindness? Same again.
Understanding? Both.
Selflessness? Easily both.

Here's an idea- how about instead of just thinking about who would benefit Sorata, have you consider who would benefit from him?

In short: Waaaahhh Aoyama is failure so she deserves Sorata as a prize for that.

Well my condolences for Nanami, but at least we can hope she goes out fighting. At least she's had some pretty nice moments to this point. I didn't really want to give Nanami a chance since she seemed doomed from the start, but has done a nice job and been a likable character. But will save the eulogy for her ship until it actually sinks.

I don't see either option as being particularly negative. Mashiro and Sorata have managed to spark each other into growing as people while Sorata and Nanami have had moments of understanding since neither are extremely talented.

Is it just me, or is it general policy here on these forums to assume what other people think? It really is a bore when other people think they know what goes on inside my head.

Well, I could argue in favor of Nanami on a couple of those points, as well as a few others. Maybe we should just see if you know what I'm thinking.

Quote:

There you go assuming things again. I couldn't care less who would benefit Sorata. My opinion was that Nanami was "far more suitable for a long-term relationship," irrelevant as to who she might hook up with. This is not based on "treating Nanami as nothing more than a 'resource' to serve and take care of her lover," as you so chauvinistically put it. Quite the opposite, I like that she is a completely independent, capable woman, as opposed to Mashiro who is completely dependent on others for even the most basics of day-to-day living.

Quote:

Well, it's obvious that Mashiro would be the one to receive more benefit, since Nanami already knows how to clean herself, brush her teeth, dress herself, make her own meals, go to school on her own, take a bus or train somewhere and return home, etc., etc.

You've got that wrong. Failure or not, she deserves someone better than Sorata.

It's not my fault if you can't express yourself clearly and in a way that doesn't seem to imply that you're watching a different show from everybody else.

That would have been fine except in your very first post you claim that Mashiro have nothing else to offer which automatically discredit you because everybody knows that's a lie. Sorata has made lots of improvement and progress ever since she came into his life and have supported him wholeheartedly every step of the way.

Even if it wasn't Sorata, it's not hard to see her inspiring people to pursuit their dreams.

Nanami is not 'better', she's 'different'. She's more suited for people who have no patience to take care of the people who have given them so much.

How is that a problem?

I honestly couldn't care less about who the best choice for a successful long term relationship is,most teenagers don't care about this kind of stuff and I don't see why Sorata should.

For the record I'd totally go with Nanami because I'd probably lose my mind after a few weeks on Mashiro duty.

That said someone as selfless as Sorata wouldn't ever get tired of reminding her to put her panties on in the morning like you and I would.So I really don't think that's a problem long term for him anyway,not to mention she's improved as time as gone on and if Sorata would seriously threaten to leave her if she didn't make more efforts to be independent I'm sure she would make those efforts.

Another one. Typical degrading character who is rival of your favourite. You suck.
It's always the same typical behavior. In every romance story, ther are fanboys/girls who do that.
Facepalming.

Thanks for the response.

We are in agreement then, in principle, as I have no argument with your response. Except, perhaps, Sorata does seem to occasionally get tired of babysitting Mashiro, unless it is just his nature to get mad at her when she repeatedly does (or doesn't) do something the way he has "taught" her to. Of course, that may also just be her way of getting attention.

And, you're right that long-term qualifications mean next to nothing for most teenagers, though Misaki and Nanami both seem ready to delve into a long-term relationship. Jin has had a buffet of short-term relationships and appears to want a long-term relationship with Misaki, but has convinced himself that postponing it is the best route to take at the moment. Sorata, on the other hand, doesn't seem ready for any romantic relationship, of any length, though he might be slightly less clueless on that front than Mashiro.

I don't know about Japan, but most High School romances don't seem to end up being long-term, anyway, so I suppose it's a moot point.

Has it become this interesting between Misaki and Nanami? I fell behind 4 episodes, so I guess it's about time I catch up. In the mean time, take it easy good fans!
