Everyone! Let's have a moment of silence for Kanade losing not only his memories of Yukihira's cute side, but for his Path to Being a Philosopher folder - his treasure. Kanade, how I grieve for you!
Anyways, I have to say finally an anime that gets you questioning about a certain heroines bust length. Is that silicon? If is it who cares, but at least it's nice to wrap your head around that in a series with its considerable doses of WTF's it throws at you in every direction. The secret ending if he chooses to extend his name felt like a freaking troll. How I felt for this dude, seriously.

Y'know, I realized something a while back.
To date, Kanade has only chosen Option B twice. Episode 5: he said 'Tits, tits' instead of 'tsk, tsk' while pinching his nipples. Episode 6: he lost his memory of Furano's Dere Dere side and his folder full of 'philosophy'. The poor bastard just can't get a break, now, can he? If Kanade gets an honest-to-goodness harem ending, it will be wholly and well-deserved after the crap that the 'Absolute Choice' put him through. Also, I just remembered something from the next episode's title. The second option went something like: "Seira, don't make me take my clothes off." Oh shit, the chaos will be delightfuuuuuuulllllll!!! I wonder if we will actually see Seira get flustered, though. It happened to Ouka, so why not?

This show. So effin' random .
Someone is complaining about Yukihira's cute side, but I'm kinda okay with it, as long as she learns to reconcile it with her snarkiness. It's not unusual for socially awkward people to hide their own emotional insecurity behind a snarky/scornful facade, but that still is part of their charm sometimes, so she should just find a good compromise between the two. One thing that I love anyway is how this show is actually no harem at all. Despite all that happens, Kanade's thoughts are entirely elsewhere - he has to put up with so much shit (some of which requires him to be absolutely shameless around girls) that he doesn't really care about having a girlfriend (probably thinks he wouldn't be able to keep her at this rate anyway), and he's actually behaving quite well around girls. On the other hand, most girls on the cast seem to honestly consider him just a good friend. Yukihira is the only one who probably has romantic feelings for him. In the end, the "romcom" aspect of this anime might resolve in the tamest, purest, most monogamous possible way - with Kanade getting together with Yukihira. They'd be cute together .

As for the 6th episode, the jokes had really well thought of double meanings and the level of sarcasm was really something else, even compared to the previous episodes.

I don't mind making jabs at common tropes, I just hope they do a couple things. First, they need to let him fall in love with one of the girls (and preferably ONLY one). Preferably the girl somewhat suggested in the opening. Second, they need to let him escape from this insanity, or find a way to gain a bit more control of the choices so he can avoid making a perverse fool of himself every single day.
One thing just occurred to me. When Ayame told Kanade that he just needed to stop being such a perv to get the girls to like him, I seriously wish he'd said "I don't want to hear that from a girl who's sitting on a gagged, panting M", or something to that obvious effect. |

+ Butt lover-kun
+ Yawakaze's "I like you" = heart attack + Ayame's misunderstanding and willingness to service Amakusa + "S-such obscene moves!" + White piggy's cuteness, white piggy's onii-chan communication, white piggy rolling down the street, white piggy vibrating obscenly with Yukihira on top + Yukihira for being so hnnghh - R.I.P The Path to Being a Philosopher - I kinda missed Chocolat's wogginess but that's just me

The whole silicon thing was good fun. While a bit crazy to think someone her age actually went ahead and got some, children of rich people do crazy things so I didn't think much about it. A pretty fun bomb to drop though . At the end of every episode I realize just how close this guy comes to disaster. In his position I'd probably have died from headaches being unable to bring myself to do the things he does.

A real parody is Ayame's breasts turning out to be implants. Unlike Ayame, Furano's relationship with Kaname was developed with a serious tone, which made the reset more of a shameless plot device to maintain the status quo than a parody. That said, I think Kaname's Absolute Choices curse in general is a jab at harem protagonists being indecisive. Since he won't make up his mind, the curse will make him. |

Maybe, but I do agree with the point that doing the exact same thing isn't much of a jab. It's just doing the same thing in a different way. Rather than making fun of the cliche itself, I think they just like using the cliche for the sake of keeping the story going.
