The thing with Kurumi is... at first it looked like she's evil in everyone's eye.
But... without Kurumi there, Sawako would have almost never figured out just exactly how important her chocolates were (her "real" feelings). Which is why Sawako couldn't being it out of her to give the choco to Kazehaya... because she doesn't want him to think it was an obligatory choco, because they aren't... (and the above have already been said before, but it connects to my other sentence, LOL) And yea.. 80% of the time... "pretty girls" tends to have bad personalities because they think too highly of themselves so they look down at others... |

Nice episode.
To me Kurumi is not Evil, but realistic girl in my World. Sawako is a dream good girl, but too much surrealistic. Even in reality a Sawako girl turn in a Kurumi girl when love is the game. Sad but True

I thought the episode was very well done indeed.
Sawako is definitely one of those characters who can elicit both a "d'awwwww" and laughter at her being so ... well ... "normal" in her reactions - curiously a little on the same general area as how so many people identify with Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) in his imaginative flights of drama and action and perhaps even Bill Cosby's humor. Be aware this is a very broad generalization pointing mainly at the author's ability to portray an aspect of humanity very accurately - different aspects in these cases, but for me equally as effective in result. Seeing such strong portrayals of "normality", they hit home with extra strength. For me Sawako's character does exactly that, and (thankfully) the anime portrayals of her are faithful to this ...erm ... quality.

episode 1 broke ma heart. it wasn't just the valentine chocolates, but their growing distance & the mounting tension.
i have to say though, sawako is just too noble for words. knowing her feelings, she really couldn't give him chocolate under the pretense of "thanks". i can't even blame kurumi really--sawako finds reasons to not be direct about her feelings. it's a self-depreciating cycle. and the BGM *__*

Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season OST
Interestingly, the first press item is actually an application ticket/mail-in coupon for a special character karaoke party CD. I'm guessing this CD is actually the songs that we heard at the karaoke party for Sawako's class after the school's sports festival from the first season. Another mail-in item to get . |

I'm SO happy to watch a new season!
I normally don't like recaps but KnT's did it well. Most of the story was only alluded to and I liked to get everything told from Kurumi's viewpoint. Better start than I thought and refreshed my memory nicely. And the first episode? What can I say. I'm just happy the adaptation seems to be exactly like in the first season, so no worries and just me looking forward to every episode :3 But I have to admit it's one of the series where the music is nice, but I don't really care too much about the OST beyond in the episodes themselves |

Ditto. It's a really nice compliment to the visuals but I think it'd be pretty boring to bump in my car. ^_^
