Very nice episode. Kirino has the starring in this one, hands down. Everything ends peacefully but I don't like that "conclusion" feeling they set on Kuroneko, like saying "Ok, this business is over. for good. Next" =/
I liked this episode, but I didn't at the same time, strange feeling. |

I watched the episode twice to take everything in, and I have to admit that the second time watching I couldn't help noticing how that entire hot springs town came to some sort of standstill while Kirino and Ruri were having their confrontation. It's like once you see it, you can't unsee.
Anyway, that aside, this episode really puts a point on just how far this series has come in this this its 24th episode (assuming you don't count the two episode 12s). Seeing that montage really made me thing "wow, so much has happened..." I think people who have had a hard time understanding Kirino all this time will finally get a little bit of the insight they've been missing. I'm pretty sure this is the first time Kirino ever called him "Kyousuke"; I made special note of when she says "Kyousuke", when she says "Aniki", and when she just calls him "that one" or some other abstract reference, because (like most times when characters change the way they address each other) each address has a meaning. Now the second act of the story comes to a close, and we begin to set the stage for the conclusion. Hard to believe there are only seven episodes left! That aside... Quote:

Edit: Oh yeah, all this aside: loved the endcard! One of my favourite artists, and a beautiful shot!

I'm not talking about the plot argument, i'm talking about the feeling this episode transmits, at least what it did for me. For me it felt like: "Ok, Kuroneko character has been explored enough" That pause a.k.a "not giving up" is the same argument every heroine gives in every harem anime i've watched. I know where the novel plots goes from here, but i'm talking specifically of the anime, and that was the feeling it gave, at least to me. |

What did I just watch???
Kuroneko and Kirino interactions were very nice. The episode played off the title very well. It felt very weird watching the episode. Kuroneko "pausing" the relationship doesn't feel like its the end for her. It feels more like she wants to make sure she has no regrets I think, hence the whole getting Kirino to spill the truth.

The relationship "pause" was a dead giveaway in my opinion. By the time episode 16 rolls around, I'm fairly certain Team Kuroneko will be all smiles. This is all speculation on my part, I've never read the LNs.

So am I the only one who feels that Kyousuke being sad during this episode is normal since he got dumped, or do people these days rebound after an hour or something? Saw some comments in another place which is why I wanted to ask.
On topic: I like the fact they brought back some good ol' Kirino and Kuroneko interactions and I think the slice of life aspects of this show are the best part of the series.

Sorry to ask this question but Where is matsudo/chiba? is it part of Tokyo(where kyou and kirino live)?
They said it's close but how close? They even can't see her during the week.. only on weekends Oh yeah I feel that kuroneko lost in this episode.She confessed first and now is in another school.The author sure put her in a corner. |

In the end, some people sometimes have too high of an expectation of guys, like they should never cry or show emotion even when they're devastated. Some might judge Kyousuke for looking "pathetic" in this episode, but I think it's the more normal reaction.

Of course it's normal for Kyousuke to be upset. He'd be upset if he were dumped normally since he does genuinely like Kuroneko, but the nature of this breakup was especially painful; the girl who said she loved him more than anything just ended their relationship for no given reason, then upped and left without telling him anything.
There'd be something wrong if he wasn't upset and thinking that he had done something wrong somewhere. On another note, I feel this is Kirino's best episode to date. We knew she cared for Kyousuke, but it's great to actually see it and for her to actually admit it. It takes a while for her to reach breaking point, so to speak, and it can be frustrating to watch, but these rare moments of honesty are great when they do happen. I really liked the montage they threw in, too. So many great and enjoyable moments. |

Well...
Spoiler for Comparison to the novels:
2a. On the episode itself and animation quality. The Comiket episode starts it (A bunch of people basically standing around while you have the main characters talking), the Onsen scene with Kuroneko and Kirino did the same thing. Oh well, it's A-1, and it's not like they're the best animation company out there... 3. Oh well, Kirino and Kyousuke getting married next episode (j/k). Quote:
BTW, Kyousuke & Kirino live in Chiba City I believe. Matsudo and Chiba are not exactly far from each other (Google Map = ~20 miles distance). Both are within Tokyo Metropolitan Area with Matsudo more or less a suburb of Tokyo (It's locate right between the Tokyo core and Chiba City) while Chiba City is a big city on its own but is still kind of a suburb of Tokyo.
