Am I the only person who really felt sorry for Yozora and Rika in this episode? Some people defend them but that's it.
I love Sena more but seriously I felt Yozora's pain when she looked away in that bus. Most people who bash on Yozora or Rika probably don't know how serious this Disorder is. I really hope the club understands their situation. Last edited by Rozen Van Kaizer; 2011-11-28 at 18:43. |

I am with you on that, a friend of mine was always on the verge of panicking when in crowds. But in both of the characters' cases I think it's more that they are not used to crowds (because of life-style and personality), rather than phobia. |

The story seems going this way. Yorzora wants to spend some quality time with her friend. She used the tsundere technique. Who in their right mind would join a club sounds like losers. It's doubtful people know it's a club. She made up some weird poster to attract members, but the school had more weirdos than she had anticipated. Her friend ended up spending more tender time with the most popular girl in the school.

One thing I'm pretty sure though. It's more of the fact that Yozora see's Sena as a "Popular person" than Sena being close to Kodaka. Yozora reacts strongly to anything with Kodaka and Sena together but I never see any of of these as a reason for her attacks on Sena. If you guys look closely all of Yozora and Sena's disputes are all between themselves, Kodaka was "mostly" out of it. Hence the reason he stays out of it too. It's basically a love triangle, but with the two girls fighting only between each other, instead of fighting over the guy. Their relationship with the main hero is just an added bonus, an after effect, or the conclusion of their relationship with each other. |

I don't understand how Kobato would willingly fully undress in front of her older brother, considering she is already in her second year of middle school. And whats even more disturbing is that Kodaka doesn't stop her, much less think much of it. Yes, I'm sure it was supposed to be a good fanservice, but the occasion just didn't sit right with me (probably because I myself have a younger sister). On a different note, it was cute seeing Kobato become jealous at the Sister hugging Kodaka
And, the only 'male' I approve of wearing female bathing suit is Hideyoshi, because he's Hideyoshi.

The story has't reached that volume of self awareness/confirmation yet. Well, everyone knows anyway.

Beside, I don't understand why people think "having a sister" mean they can't like thing like that. I'm a huge sis-con and incest fan when it come to anime/manga story. Not once did I think about this stuff in real life (okay, that was a lie, because I just thought about it). Is it that hard to distinguish real life stuff and fiction stuff?

I don't really mind incest since sometimes it can make for a very interesting drama and/or romance series, but there's still people that will be offended regardless.

I'm similar to Duo Maxwell though. I too have a little sister and I'm also a big fan of incest in fiction, and well, I don't correlate the two in any significant ways, and would fiercely object to such an attempt.
In serious incest stories it's really just another form of the well-loved romance trope of Forbidden Love. It could be an angel and a devil, a prince(ss) and a pauper, heirs of rival families, supernatural creature and mortal, occasionally all of the above plus they also happen to be lost siblings or something. In "typical" Japanese manga and anime it's also a shortcut to saying two characters have a really strong bond without having to actually display it in detail. Like a powered up, forbidden (i.e. even better) childhood friend relationship. "These two characters spent years of their young lives together (often *only* together), therefore they're very, very, very close. Too bad you aren't seeing most of it. Regardless, ship away!" In the case of Kobato however it's refreshingly just a reeeaally affectionate/dependent relationship without the sexual angle, regardless of fanservice, hence why she's a bit hung up on Maria and not Yozora and Sena (well, Sena scared her but that's different), and hence why it's a bit of a joke's-on-you for some of you guys (+ Sena XP) going crazy over her brocon, because she really isn't "aiming for" him unlike half the Little Sisters out there in otakudom. Kodaka's non-reaction is completely understandable to me (I don't exactly get flustered over my little sister either...why would I? Of course, my lil' sis isn't exactly as childish as Kobato despite their similar age, so she isn't going around trying to "transform" in the living room). In real life...there are undertones of abuse and exploitation that overturns all the "win." |

Unless you equate Kodaka with some serial rapist or puritan bigot, Kobato should feel very comfortable and secure undressing in front of him, only the above two categories pose any real danger. Quote:
I found her quite fitting from the beginning (being exposed only to plot synopsis, a few chapters, and a lot of art before the anime). The only VA that comes now into mind that could be a better fit is Yukana. |

Isn't it funny though?: Yozora vs Sena = Relationship (lovers) status Kobato vs Maria = Imouto Status Rika & Yukimura = ???? a instrument for their own goal? |

Nah, I don't buy it, should she be her usual self, she would have had a blast ruining everyone's fun and games... But is possible, would explain why she send the message to Sena, instead of Kodaka, which in turn would make Kodaka's observation (about her not having changed) void... we'll see.

By the way, yes, I can distinguish real life and fictions. Do you expect me to believe there are people who can use kamehamaha? Quote:
Did I ever say cross-dressing should be frowned upon or disallowed? I don't get why some people just love to put words into other people's mouth, other than troll reasons. If I say something like, I only approve ___ as my waifu, does that mean I don't like/hate all the other other characters? What I meant by 'approve,' was that Hideyoshi looks the best among the male cross-dressers I've seen. If I disapproved cross-dressing, I wouldn't have approved of Hideyoshi cross-dressing in the first place.
