The reason I gave it an 8 is because for the most part it returned to the dynamic of the earlier episodes, but this part felt forced in the sense the characters where sacrificing so much to maintain this now extremely awkward situation. Also random scenes with inko really suck, especially when he's passed out. I mean its always been pretty obvious who Ryuji was gonna end up with, but now more than ever that decision is making sense, at the time earlier in the show, feeling the direction it was headed, I raged quite a bit, but now his decision makes a lot of sense, though it doesn't change the fact that their love developed out of convenience. Though I want to stress their love isn't about convenience its just because its convenient for them to be together they fell in love. The emotions where pretty high this episode, I felt the angst was well executed unlike emomura. I mean it really made the previous episode stand out at as a psuedo climax, which most likely have the climax for the series finale, but this episodes strength was defining the action that occured in the previous episode which I felt was a great touch to storytelling. I dunno about that, even though Will is gay will & grace are pretty much your non married, married couple. They may have different sexual partners but as the show neared its end Will was highly jealous of Grace's boyfriends. Though I caught most of the episodes through syndication so I might be lacking on the total foresight. |

It really depends on how you treat the polls. If you view it as quality measurement then complaints about 'painful' and 'perfect' votes are legitimate as simply it is hard to find something really perfect and something really completely terrible. If you treat as enjoyment gauge then all the complains about 'painful'/'perfect' votes become silly. |

Yes, now it is protected. Before it wasn't. But because there was many votes before the airing the poll became protected from such votes.
Yet just because such protection was applied believing that suddenly judgment increased would be silly. Those who voted before the episode aired will continue to vote even before they watch the episode, yet now they will have to wait till its officially aired. but aired doesn't mean watched. In other words, it doesn't mean that the problem is removed, it just made to look less offensive, but it is still there. Basically some people will continue giving 'perfect' (or other score, but mostly 'perfect' or 'painful') score even before watching an episode. |

its rather like someone giving an opinion can give more information about the person themself than the topic being discussed. But the voting thing comes up in most very popular/polarizing series and I suppose its offtopic. Ep 22 was a lot of fun and set the stage for the closing arc.... but even without having seen the novels covering this story period one can sense that a LOT of stuff flew by offscreen. I just think its a bit sad simply because these characters are so much fun. Fortunately, it probably assures I will enjoy the rest of the novels greatly.

A Mary Sue is a character, usually a character from fanfiction, who draws an inordinate amount of attention in the plot, (especially if they're not the main character) and is totally and utterly flawless, and is never punished for any kind of negative action, ever. They're generally uninteresting, terrible characters, and almost always some kind of Author Avatar. |

Personally, I'm for Taiga and Ryuuji but I can't help but suspect they're going to twist it around.
Spoiler for Episode 22:
I'd like to think a Taiga x Ryuuji ending is obvious but, I really don't know. I think I'm going to be sitting in my pajamas at 2 am watching the next few eps with ice cream and tissues. |

Not much to say about this episode. Still that chatter between Ami and Minori, and the usual Ryuuji beating from Taiga. Though with Ryuuji now looking at Taiga with weird eyes.
I wonder how Ryuuji will confess to Taiga in what situation, should it happen. Ah well, just waiting for now I guess.

But his eyes are weird. He's got Sanpaku Eyes. That is where you can see the white of the eye below the Iris. And in the show supposedly he has evil looking eyes. But i think that is the shape of them not the sanpaku part. Just looking at the illustrations no they don't look weird to me either. |

With all this fuss over Ryuuji and Taiga I would actually want to see how they interact as a boyfriend/girlfriend. If the confession was to be the last scene... hmm...not cool... |
