I was hoping thus show could be on par with midori no hibi, h&c or Nana. but we'll see.

At this point, I would expect the series to be at least 26 episodes. This is just a guess, based on the fact that they changed the OP and ED after episode 13. Normally, they do that sort of thing in the middle of a series, so if 13 was half the season, I would expect the second half to be another 13, for 26 total.

Plus, 12-13 and 24-26 seem to be the most common lengths for anime series these days, so I would be very supprised to see it end with less than 24 episodes.

I can't believe this thread has had so much discussion in the past four days between the last time I watched and commented on episodes of this series.

Ep 15

If it wasn't for the fact that the ending is pretty much a forgone conclusion (let's face it, endings in romance series are rarely unpredictable, but it's the path they take to get there that makes them so appealing), I'd have said that Otani and Risa are virtually an impossibility at this stage. I mean, seemingly, all the odds are against them, and they have so many differences and hurdles to overcome before they can become a couple. But, this is a romance series, so they'll overcome them, the question is "how".

Third wheels always make such series interesting, but I don't like the fact that they've gone for the unlikable type. There's more drama when the third wheel is a legitimate possibility (although it does seem to piss off a lot of fans when the third wheel is so sympathetic that they become more popular than the lead, but inevitably get shafted, eg, Midori no Hibi). I'm not sure I'm a fan of jealousy keeping the slim possibility of Otani eventually becoming attracted to Risa alive, since it's so trite, but, at this stage, I can't think of anything else that can keep the possibility alive, since Otani has categorically stated that he's not interested in her, and she now knows this full well. The way I see it, their relationship is pretty much on its deathbed, with jealousy of Maity acting as the life support.

I'm not a fan of the current set up, but I guess I'll wait and see what they do with it.

But yours came out OK, and you got a "key moment"! It's probably surprising to people who haven't seen the series, but that moment isn't even really a spoiler!
What's the series?

I know, i left the thread (and asuki) alone over the weekend... and it sprouted like 4 pages. I suppose I should have anticipated a swirl of discussion after ep 15 released, just didn't think it was gonna be this much.

Oh god... I always feel like a third-wheel these days, perhaps that's why my "Couple" friends keep asking me to come with them to things.

Huh, what, I was gone?

About Ootani's outburst once again ... aren't we long past the "I don't like Koizumi or anything." stage? Since about episode one? And his jealousy was hardly to overlook.

I get the feeling that Otani is falling for Koizumi. At first it is obvious that he can't even imagine Koizumi as his girlfriend. Now I think his feelings have changed, albiet slowly, and he is just having a hard time accepting them. Then again Otani is so dense it might not be a matter of acceptance, but rather nearsightedness. I think the jealousy he is feeling will help to penetrate his brainlessness.

Yea, you didn't post for over a week or so, thought you went away or something.

As for otani's outburst, i think it was more of a general iritation cuz she started treating him like shit, not to mention this maity figure who he's already uncomfortable with was harrassing him, i think it was more of a dismissal thing to maity.

Too bad he's been pushing her away for so long

I guess that old saying you dont know what you have till its gone comes into play here. Otani has got some real work to do if he has finally made up his mind. IMO it has always been there it just took a situation like what is happening now to bring it out. He better hope its not too little too late.

To support Ootani a bit: Don't forget that he can't know everything we know. Most importantly, he can't look into Risa's head (and the anime plays a lot in her head). He only sees the sudden outbursts. He also doesn't know that he's the male lead in a shoujo romance.

Risa is giving a lot of mixed signals for quite some time, to put it mildly. "Just forget anything happened." "No, don't forget!", "OK, OK, I'll give you some chocolate if you insist." "What, you don't want my precious chocolate?" "I hate you!" "I love you!" "Why are you so small?" When you drive an inertial mass at high frequencies it won't move at all.

Remember, men have a shorter life expectancy than women. We can't waste time on analyzing such baroque patterns of female thinking.

Of course there are also examples of real thickheadness, for example Sherlock Ootani's attempts to figure out who Risa is in love with. ("Hmmm, shorter than her, in the basketball club.") But that can be chalked off as comedy element. Even if Risa had told him that Mr. X is wearing his pants he probably just would have tried to hunt down the pervert.

I wouldn't want to be inside risa's head... or even try to comprehend it, i have troubles timing it!

I totally agree with you, totally. Everyone's on risa's side, but poor otani has really been pushed and shoved around in the whole experience, not the most helathy way to enter a relationship. Although, there's some things he coulda done better to not hurt risa so much.

K, so totally jacked this quote for my MSN name. Simply brilliant.
