Asami wanting to hang out with Sana could also be explained in other ways. I can't explain it here because this is anime only, but go read about Asami and Nanaka in general discussions thread, then think about what Asami said this episode about being good at coming up with malicious plans. |

When a character suddenly gets a development of "oh yea, buy the way she is evil, scheming and homosexual! Ha ! Bet you didn't see that coming, eh ?" i question the credibility of the writing. The ferris wheel doesn't foreshadow anything, lets alone of this scale. All we saw was Asami (who has been portrayed as very kind and helpful person) acting surprised/shocked to see Shuri (who has been behaving cheerfully all the time) crying in obvious pain. It is beyond my capabilities to see how to interpret this as Asami having the hots (and dark intentions to boot) for Shuri. Plot twists are welcomed as long as they make sense within the context of the show. When we have a twist for the sake of having one, i question the writing of it. Sure, it adds the ZOMG factor, but this time my suppression of disbelief couldn't handle it. *sigh* ...we are going in circles, aren't we ?

This just took a good turn, totally unexpected really extinguishes my confusion over why Asami's eyes were shaking like that(I thought the animators were being idiots) and basically destroyed anything negative I've said about the show before. Definitely loving it next week is looking bright too(well in terms of episode enjoyment at least)
probably shouldn't have watched this after Ef though made the emotional impact feel like nothing still 10/10 great episode looking forward for the rest Quote:
I myself enjoyed how they kept Asami a mysterious helpful girl that everyone could love. not to say some things weren't ridiculous , but still I don't feel it came out of nowhere(probably what they were going for, how the hell would they foreshadow her being a lesbian without ruining it, instead I think they played it smart and gave us things to look back on and say oh yeah that makes sense now) Last edited by fuzzles; 2007-12-13 at 15:46. |

I'm not sure what the big deal is here. I'm sure everyone knows at least one person that would smile to your face while stabbing you in the back. Usually you don't find out about those people until the knife is firmly in your back. Having a character like that in an anime is hardly earthshaking or unbelievable. The writers dropped enough little clues in previous episodes to show that this is how they wanted it to play out.
Anyways I thought it was a pretty good episode, on par with the rest of the series. |

Nope, I don't know anyone who would stab me in the back while smiling. Personally, I wouldn't want to know them either. Besides, what you said contradicts. If we don't find out until the knife is in our back, just how exactly would we know such a person right now?

And as to how you could know such a person right now, unless you developed amnesia or something I would think you would remember them. But since you live in this utopia where there are no two faced people I can understand how you might miss that Quote:

Why are people over analyzing this so much? so Asami is a plot device? otherwise her role, would have been nothing. There were hint, and the fact that they weren't bluntly obvious makes them better, not worse. And still no one has given me a better ending. They've committed to someone writing and setting up the twins and ill take a sudden lesbian over the overly used step mother any day. I didnt see anyone complain about the last ep, and they would have to reveal a culprit later. Out of all their options, she was the best to use.

The step mother was the best use, the lack of background and involvement of Asami and the twins makes it less believable. Before this episode all we knew is that Shuri and Asami volunteered at the nursing home together and knew eachother through that. Beyond that there was nothing. It was a cheap escape for cheap thrills.

Step mother is so obvious, there would be no added value to the show to set her up. That would be even less thrills and a worse way to set up the anime. honestly why would you watch an anime where every future plot is spelled out for you. Obviously no one would be surprised if they revealed Sana is a cutter, so that portion is no longer an important point in the plot. Guess maybe i just evolved passed obvious transparent plots with no appreciable effort in the writing to actually provide a good story. glad this one didn't turn out like that though.

I already know what people are going to say about using the stepmother. "It's too obvious and boring". Apparently, something absurd but surprising is better than something plain but logical... according to them. EDIT: I was right after all...... Someone did say it... You know, by using the stepmother, they would also finish another sub-plot of the anime, "the Wakatsuki family". At this rate, the anime will complete ignore that woman and the father.

You cant say using Asami was illogical just because you didn't notice it. Look back and i'm sure you can find hints. more hints than for any other character except for the blantly obvious stepmother. For example, one i just realized is how Asami join helping the old folks AFTER she found out Shuri was already doing it.
Im sorry, i guess the only way to please some people are to spell out the ending in big letters for them. |

I'm not saying it's illogical because I didn't notice, but saying anymore would require me to go back through the pages and re-paste anything said... I'll need to say that there are people in this world that, yes, would go out of their way to help old people. To deny this fact is like saying that every volunteer helping older people must have joined because they like someone working there.

ya, back you up, but have you shown any proof that it was illogical? for example, to say Aoi being the arsonist is illogical given her age, and that it would be illogical for her to be at the house.
Now Asami is the best setup for the chalk board incident, (no i will never respect the stepmother as a possibility) and she would need a reason to do so. While it would have been also exceptable to set up her being jealous of Shuu, to say she was jealous of Shuri given the fariswheel incident is also a possibility. I also admit i was wrong about shuri joining first ( i didnt bother to check), but the fact that Asami invited her also sets the pair up, or at least on Asami's part.

Random note: I checked. You were right about Shuri working there first. But Asami didn't join because she realized Shuri was working there, Shuri invited her. EDIT (upon your correction): .........I see. You admitted you were wrong when you weren't... I guess you still didn't check after I mistakenly said you were wrong. What can you say now (I'm not being cocky if I sound like that)? Originally, you said Asami joined because Shuri was there. But Shuri actually invited her. And it isn't a bit suspicious for people to join upon being invited. Because in that case, Sana must like Asami.
