I don't know where you've heard this --- we have two episodes left. 12 is the total.

More bizarre character goods:

Rin Snow Globe.
Poster stickers (I love the Policewoman Rin, "No officer, I wasn't looking at you")
Pencil board
Mug
Mouse pad with "bumps"
Bloomer pillow
and last but not least:
Chuck, Rins' stuffed Kuma-chan (who is probabaly better known around here as his 4chan incarnation, Pedobear...) lookalike bear...

Crazy stuff there..

So Rin runs Aoki ragged this episode until he admits he doesn't know what to do, and is practically scared of her. If you had some girl constantly taking advantage of every situation and making your life miserable, and there was nothing you could do about it lest she call the cops on you, wouldn't you be at the breaking point. Luckily Hoin helps both Rin and thus Aoki out of a tough spot here. Reiji's face when he saw the downturned picture of Aki and then looked in on Rin just being playful was unsettling. He doesn't seem to realize that by doing anything to hurt Rin he'd be forever betraying the memory of his departed. Also Mimi was kind of useless this episode in merely fawning over Reiji and then getting scared. There are some chapters about her later on in the manga, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting to them now. I also wonder what Kagami was threatening about doing when he went to chase after Mimi. Probably the usual now that I think of it....

Oh and now the Kagami Kuro technique has been censored as well. The censor probably got tired of his job and just gave the order to censor anything even remotely questionable at this point or something. Sloppy and lazy job.

I am so glad that I watched the anime (just watched all the episodes over the last 2 days). It is forcing me to go back and read the manga. I have no idea if I'm a bad reader, or there is a lot of filler, I need to go back and confirm... For example, I know reiji dated rin's mom, but I do not remember it being explained in such detail. All I remember about her mom, is that rin looks like her. I also don't remember that break-down aoki-sensei had on the train back...

Spoiler for episode 11 theory:

Well about the story ending at 12, I hope it doesn't happen. They are close so they can end before the girls go to the next grade. the second season could be after they go to the next grade. 11 could be where rin is acting nice to daisuke and is class rep. I'm sure that they do not have enough time to develop the kuro-chanxshiro-chan parts (which is my favorite part so far (loli/yuri/virgin love, its a great potential relationship), but anyways wikipedia says that its named "Everyone Gets Along" and the pretty much describes what happened when rin became class rep.

But it seems to me the anime gets serious quicker than the manga. I'm only now understanding how well this story is written in terms of character development. The psychology behind it is so good, great story! But it just seems like the anime got into "rin is acting this way because of her life" quicker. Its like it took me a while to feel like that way when reading the manga. I thought the manga was just fanservice, but it took me a while to discover the story.

@jigen

watching some episodes then reading the manga was basically what I did too. I really got into the story so much I got myself so attached to it. and yea, if your up-to-date with the events on the manga

Spoiler for KnJ:

aoki's and reiji's feelings and towards kokonoe WIN is starting to get defined as one of the users here stated a while ago.

dang this animu is full of RIN.

Yes I agree, this series is pretty amusing, too bad ending so soon. But you know what, in my many sense this series is just wrong......but I can't help laughing and watching.....

[Vexx]

Whats amazing is how the world didn't end and life went on as usual despite the existence and broadcast of the anime despite the uninformed shrieks and skewed assertions from a certain part of the anime watching kingdom...

I thought it was the *old* people who were supposed to think in mental boxes

the only people who don't think like that are children , unfortunately most of the time to their disadvantadge, that's why they start creating such a mindset.

first DVD is out now... from what I've seen on /a/ so far, it looks very likely that much of the censoring was actually totally unecessary and only done as a joke/DVD marketing ploy.

Wonder how long before DVD subs come out... and I'm not sure what to do now, I've been sticking with Genjo-Subs so I've only just watched ep 5.

[Midonin]

That would explain a lot of the nosencoring (nonsense-soaring, best way I could find to portmanteau the words) like the speaking in bird chirps or the Relax-o-Vision screens.

Hopefully I can see some clips of the dvd on nico nico before the weekend is over. I'm not wanting to download it (space issues), so I just want to see if they went all out for the dvd.

[digihero]

Can you post some of the pics or give a link i went to 4chan and the anime section if thats what the /a/ means i never saw any?

I didn't save the couple of screencaps posted, and the newest thread has 100+ posts and about 35 images... of the US submarine fleet

But I can describe examples of what I'm talking about, spoilered in case people just want to watch it to find out what's behind the censoring:

Spoiler for just in case:

The scene where Rin pulls down her panties around her legs was basically just like the manga; as expected, all they were censoring was the panties.

And the scene at the end where all 3 girls pull up their skirts was actually a joke on both Aoki and the viewers... they were all wearing gym shorts, so there weren't even any panties to be seen... just like we discussed earlier about with the censoring making you imagine worse things than are actually there.

well that sucks. Now I think that DVD sales won't be as big as the 1st one since it's pretty much a major fail.

[Vexx]

Well... since that is a gag borrowed from the manga to some extent --- I would think readers of the manga won't mind. Most of the "relax-o-vision" censoring was gag censoring anyway.

[Deathkillz]

DVD version wins!
Just proves the point that some censored scenes are unnecessary
Taking a look at the last pair of caps - I duno how anyone could be offended ^^

[Tenerezza]

Attached Ep 2 DVD ver here to.

[Kensuke]

Finally! Now just waiting for subs.
