Nisio: When you cut a girl's hair you get character development.

1. Dat bully Iguchi.
2. Dat snapped HanaKana.

ultimate_noob · 2013-10-05, 10:34

I can't help but think Kuchinawa is QB's long lost brother. It doesn't help at all that the madoka re-broadcast is before otori. What in the world the tv station is thinking....

On-topic, Tsukihi what a bitch!!! lol

Is this HanaKana and Index's seiyuu's true colors? lmao.

Daniel Lind · 2013-10-05, 11:53

Forced character development.

shinyaNakagawa · 2013-10-05, 12:06

^ Actually, some extremely introvert people will go snapped off like that if the person is given much pressure that he/she can no longer bear.

Raymondjram · 2013-10-05, 12:59

Nadeko reminds me of Hitagi in her looks and her cruelty against her teacher and even more against her classmates. I knew that the object that the "snake" was looking for was in Koyomi's possession, but never expected it to be a talisman in a porno magazine! His reaction to her wish will change his feelings toward Nadeko, and probably induced friction that will end in their conflict as shown in the first episode.in nadeko. It was the influence of Ougi Oshino, the bike girl with black eyes.

But I bet that the real "evil" here isn't

Freeter · 2013-10-05, 13:07

Hanazawa must have had a blast doing that entire scene. She needs to do more roles like that.

Shikijin · 2013-10-05, 14:51

"First, I'll start by apologizing as usual". Last famous words.

I liked Maaya getting emotional in Kabuki, but Hanazawa is really perfect.

DorkingtonPugsly · 2013-10-05, 16:11

The end is so powerful, even though it's a mere couple words.

Oh and bedhead tsukihi... *heartburst*

Kinda wish they wouldn't keep rehashing that one track for every tense scene or whatever. It was really only good the first time in bake.

Hanakana did the job right~

Sol Falling · 2013-10-05, 17:05

This arc has been amazing. I laughed so much when Nadeko busted out that yankee speech.

0utf0xZer0 · 2013-10-05, 17:53

I've been too busy to comment much on the anime I'm watching these days, but this arc has been so awesome I just have to pay my respects. Especially since its rare to see a shy girl given this much character development.

HandofFate · 2013-10-05, 19:51

I think I orgasm'd when Nadeko snapped in the school.

That last scene..Koyomi just showing up. Looks like the crap is going to hit the fan next week.

ChronoReverse · 2013-10-05, 20:26

Wow, Nadeko's VA, good job.

Koyomi shows up at the end again haha.

psycho bolt · 2013-10-05, 21:18

Nadeko shyness comes from her self awareness that she's too cute. I could understand Nadeko's position. Knowing someone you like who you won't be with and holding those feelings. I wonder if Nadeko will accept the reality and move on.

Tyabann · 2013-10-05, 21:24

That was fucking amazing.

omimon · 2013-10-06, 01:26

You guys probably can't tell since you're watching it with subs but Nadeko used two different speaking patterns in this episode. Normally she speaks in the third person referring to herself as Nadeko, but when she snapped she used "ore-sama" which is first person.

And not polite, either. It's pretty close to a "royal" "I", which doesn't exist in American English, all told. Which just made the scene all that much better.

That was really well done, too. Tsukihi was a little annoyed to be... blocked from cuddling with Koyomi, as well.

Hamster · 2013-10-06, 03:04

I hope Nadeko's classmates appreciated her GAR speech.

That speech was bloody inspirational.

Anh_Minh · 2013-10-06, 03:06

I never had the animosity some people have against her, but I really like delinquent Nadeko. She's fun!
