That's what brought me back after an absence from the past three episodes. I can appreciate what drama does for a series, but it's not something I can easily discuss, at least not naturally. But when the show gets a little closer to what it was during that 3~7 quintet, I will gladly indulge in it.

Hanasaku Iroha,the show that gets the director of FMA:brotherhood to storyboard its beach episode
Nothing much to say that hasn't already been said. My favorite parts of the OP is how Ohana is getting chased by the heron and the way Minko rides that bike.Both were bief but nice touches.

I don't think he's saying the show's writing is bad. I think he's just implying that making Ko/Ohana canon with what he sees as insufficient build up for their relationship would frankly be in poor taste. I think Roger thinks the writer is deliberately portraying their relationship as (aside from adolescent agonizing) mostly kinda fluffy and shallow, and to abruptly switch gears near the end with little set up would ring hollow.

I'm just amused that some people aren't making the logical jump to realizing that said "Confused Adolescent state of mind" is a reason that many relationships between teenagers don't work out. Quote:
Yes. That's pretty much it. |

That's a legit opinion, but I think if you're familiar with how Okada does things you'll eventually come to see that's not the direction she's going for. She's actually set up Kou as the one constant element in Ohana's psyche - not an episode passes where she doesn't agonize over him, whether he's physically present or not. At the very least, the resolution of the series needs to center around that relationship being sorted out, even if they don't end up together, or that really will be sloppy writing.
Okada has written a lot more than True Tears - there's plenty of evidence out there to be analyzed if you look for it.

Eh let's see
Kou-- has some attraction to Ohana, hasn't done much, may get with other girl. Ohana gets sad because she has no idea what to do. The main problem is that he's too far away and both are unwilling to do anything. Tooru-- He is attracted physically to Ohana and is there. He has a motorcycle. But honestly, being there's not a good enough reason. Since any pairing makes sense as the last here, I'll just go with Ohana x Nako. Of course, since this is an Okada script, the least deserving person should win so... *runs away*

The main problem I have with romance in this is that the viable guys are pretty lame, at this rate it's not about who "wins", if Ohana's getting with them in their current shape, she has everything to "lose" Atm, I'd recommend the show not delve that deep into romance, otherwise I'm probably gonna laugh at whatever happens and feel sorry for our poor heroine. Edit: Basically I don't want it to end up like Mai-HiME where Spoiler:

I always wondered why Yuina was always seen as OP as if she was a main character considering her little screentime but this episode definately made her more relevant to the show.
The episode overall was nice nothing amazing but enjoyable to watch. A breather from the last 3 episodes which were pretty heavy on drama and romance. Though I guess there isn't much to talk about this episode which is why this thread discussion is being derailed with Ko and Ohana's romance |

Ko is missing out on Ohana's current development, but he's known her for a some time already (a childhood flashback would be useful here), and shouldn't take too long to see that she's changed, if he cares about her on any firm basis. As someone who like(d) her, he should know more about the emerging best side of Ohana than she does. |

Keep in mind that the core of my dubious assessment stems from the seeming lack of personal interactions between Ko and Ohana that generally you expect to see as the foundation of a romantic relationship in most stories. Yes. Ohana reminisces allot but there's not all that much developing understanding going on between the two. All this is in a large part a natural consequence of Ohana and Ko spending so much time separated from eachother. And from my brief read over of some of the series that Okada has done, I'm not seeing the emphasis on the primaries being so dramatically out of touch with eachother. Quote:
