Hello Old Friend
For a pilot episode of this arc, it’s actually rather on par with the first one. It doesn’t have the punch and the appeal that Haruka did given her wilder and more eccentric personality, but as a representative of the girl you’ve known for much of your life, Kaoru’s pilot relates to me more than Haruka’s does. It feels more homely and down to earth, probably because it relies on the basic ideas of old friendships transforming into deeper ones rather than on something that’s more hyper and novel for the lead character. Whether or not this arc can separate itself from the multitudes of other childhood romances remains to be seen, but at least from the first episode, it’s doing a pretty good job. Also this: Spoiler for Kinda large image:

Did all of you notice that in a middle of any heroine's 'date' or 'meet' [currently Haruka and Kaoru], Junichi seems to always stumble upon Rihoko. Does the anime studio likes Rihoko?
I don't mind, though. Rihoko also cute in this ep when she put her finger under her lips. I hope somebody can make a GIF on that gesture.

And probably how her route will start, like she'll invite him along.
'Junichi, wanna come along?' or something like that. This episode was quite nice, Kaoru gave off this friendly, welcoming feeling, and her shy reactions were rather nice to watch. The delusions were funny as well.

Ah, this time it's not just Junichi doing the chasing? Interesting. It's fun to watch them together, and Kaoru has a cute side too. The ear biting was HOT (and yet she doesn't realise she wants him??)
Next week looks very promising. |

Next week's episode preview looks fantastic.
Expect some hotness over 9000 people =p Oh and I'll just give my two cents and predict that somehow the drama in this arc with involve the fact that Kaoru lives alone with her mother. So she "doesn't have the time" for stuff like love, because she has to work hard everyday. Last edited by ueXia; 2010-07-30 at 08:45. |

Well now, this was a very enjoyable "start". While the first arc left me with a few raised eyebrows, this episode did a very good job in bringing the show up a few notches on my watchlist. The familiarity and comedy duo potential from old buddies never gets old for me, and Kaoru's quirkiness meshed well with Junichi's deadpan retorts. This looks like it's promising to be a lot of quirky fun, in a more grounded way. Will be interesting to see who is the first one to make a move this time around, as Kaoru seems to be catching on pretty quickly with her feelings. Not sure if she will be able to fess up anytime soon ... hopefully she doesn't turn in to a semi tsundere in the process, would be a shame to see their entertaining dynamics stop. (I still don't get the hair craze though ...)

This was a very well paced introduction into Kaoru's arc it just flowed so much more smoothly then last arc, let's hope it can keep it up for 3 more episodes. l lol'ed at juni imagination....the second one was the best one >_>
and the best part or course is kaoru fighting with herself over what her true feelings might be for him......

Finally saw it again......there are some more things I want to clear up....for example does anyone know the joke of this part and what it means in its literal sense=>
http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...3/00f146d1.jpg This tongue twister.....well the first kita kara kita kani guratan was easy but the other was annoying for me here=> http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/t...3/a976ccc7.jpg it was harder but I had fun trying to say them Finally a key aspect I did not notice since I only saw the RAW but it's this=> should Junichi show his love as a sort of appreciation for what Kaoru did for him back during his failed date would be the final nail that would make them a couple. Already Kaoru was acting like she was married to Junichi in the beginning as a play....I think she would be as great as Morishima if better than her. BTW just got the full OP and it's amazing! Listening to it a lot! |

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I definitely think it's cute especially in the context of her personality, but it's sort of become a meme that exceeds its own significance (well, I guess all memes are like that). I guess it's partly just because the hairstyle is so unusual in anime; it's not a moe trait that people get to rave about all that often, I suppose.
