Episode 7 is my favourite so far. I felt sorry for Hazuki but first and foremost I agreed with Kouhei's stance. But the ending was good and we're treated to Elfriede doing the next episode preview this time, that's a nice change.
The new ED, whether it's a one ep only or the new ED, is also available on the ED Single.

Hmm... well just noticed the comments about the "new" opening and ending. It's great to see that the c/w songs from the singles are being used.
I think there were two other songs used in the anime so far as well, I wonder if those will be put out on a single. (I'd have to remember when in the episodes they were... it was in the first 4 episodes, that much I know. Maybe more songs now since I haven't watched since then.) |

Anyway, I saw episode seven and felt like beating the crap out of Kouhei after what he did. But right at the end, I finally understood him better. Yeah, he's a good guy. Still a numbskull though. Although... Spoiler:

Gomen, i feel stupid now. I still believe in the "laws of Anime" thing, (even though they are seriously outdated, only applies to pre-1996 Animes!) Spoiler:

Well it's certainly a controversial subject in the west on how to reprimand a child. I'm not going to debate on that.
My take on Kouhei's actions are that Hazuki deserved what she got, plain and simple. Also, Kouhei had given her harsh reproaches many times before.

Back in my parents' age, it was not uncommon for a child to be slapped on the hand with a ruler at school for severe disobedience (such as getting into a fight) nor for a parent to reprimand their children with some sort of physical pain. You do that now, the PTA, the media, and the liberal-activists goes nuts. Unfortunately, now you have spoiled brats who think they can get away with anything because all the adults don't have the balls to do so for their own job security. For example, a kid is found bullying another kid in the school toilet for some cash. The teacher finds the kid and reprimands him by beating him with a shinai. The kid calls his PTA mom, tells her that he was abused by the teacher for no apparent reason. Being the kid's mom, she totally disregards that "my child would never do such a thing." The school wants to maintain its image that it is respectable school. Hence, the teacher is forced to leave the school. Kid goes away scot free. As for the Western idea of "counseling," I doubt that'll work in such a society where we are brought up to settle private matters by yourself. Remember, this is a society many people commit suicide rather than get counseling. They are too ashamed to ask someone for help since that is being basically telling everyone that you are a failure. This is a horrible humilation not only for yourself, but for all your immediate families (if you are a failure, then so are your parents because they failed to bring you up to success). This is a society where humiliation is worse than death itself. |

Yup, it's not uncommon for schools here to whip disobedient students' hands as punishment. Also remember Hazuki is not a normal child, how her mind works is different from that of a normal child anyway. But then I'm no expert on vampire psyche, the D&D source book I have on hand says they all go insane over time
BTW, for moe and the stereotypical otaku image, I have found a picture Spoiler:

Well, I had decided to just roll with the punches but I didn't realize my opinion would cause so much response. So now I believe I have to take my stance because this is something that I feel strongly about.
First of all, I may have gone overboard because this is an anime afterall and scriptwriters would create whatever scenarios they feel will get the audiences absorbed. Spoiler:

back to Hazuki & Kouhei, I thought Kouhei did the right thing at that time. If you want to look down on me for that, then I can't help it, I won't change my opinion on this. and it's pointless to try to prove that your idea is superior to mine or others, we just have different ideas on this. For me I think it's just pointless sexual discrimination saying beating a girl is worse than beating a guy just because of the sex difference, or saying a girl has some supposed intrinsic differences from a guy in handling this kind of things so she can't handle it as well as a guy, but that's just my personal ideas. |

But say, if you don't think hitting a girl is any different from hitting a guy, why don't you try it sometime? |
