Hiding himself in the bathroom wasn't the nicest thing to do, but Rita can't really take a "no" for an answer. And heck, what was with that letter? Guilt tripping at its finest. Saying that the kiss you forced on him was your first doesn't really do much. After all, t'was your choice to do so. Besides, I think Dragon's let it be known several times that he holds no love for females...so hey, respect the guy a little instead of trying to force yourself into his life and then trying to make him feel bad about it. Just have to wonder what people would think if the situations were reversed. As for the episode itself... MC's loser friend makes another appearance! And what did he do? A whole lot of nothing. Should've just given Sorata his bike instead of putting us through that unnecessary speech. Gotta feel bad for Nanami...but it's her own damn fault for picking such a scene for her audition. Of course he wouldn't think twice about it if you say you were just rehearsing... Dummy. The scene at the rooftop was sweet. Good to see Mashiro trying to be a normal girl, even if I have to question the wisdom of using Manga as a reference. |

I don't think you get the part of this show where people interacting with each other changes characters. Quote:
Which part of that did you not find admirable?

I know a lot of ways to bring someone out of their shell, but being forceful's rarely the best one Quote:
What bothered me about it is why didn't he just hand over the bike OR went by himself? Why give Sorata a ride, shout to the wind that he was rejected and then give up and let Sorata handle the rest? Either go all the way or don't go at all... now giving up halfway is just sad. |

Feeling guilty is better than apathy, and the fact that he feels guilty even slightly shows that he knows he has overdone it. Quote:
He brought Sorata on his bike and pedaled uphill to help him save his energy for the rest of the way.

It seems that whatever Sakurasou energy inspires our male characters to act like jerks is absorbed by Dragon (and to a lesser extent Jin) this week. With Sorata deprived of this negative energy, he manages to pull off the perfect Valentine's.
-He correctly predicted chocolates -He did not forget about Shiina, considered her waiting up on the roof in the cold and properly instructed her to relocate -He did not abandon Nanami, pulls off an epic save while giving her a massive confidence boost -Still hadn't forgotten about Shiina and upon returning, manages to properly interpret her feelings. Our normally clueless Sorata has managed to be thoughtful and insightful regarding both of their feelings, as if his romance skills temporarily reached "S rank" from it's usual C-. Since he is portrayed as a fairly 'realistic' MC regarding his ineptitude in those areas, this is a downright miracle. |

Unfortunately for Rita, I don't think Dragon's issues with people and girls in particular will be resolved by a forceful attack. She gained some ground with the email, because it was something that could be responded to at a certain pace. A surprise attack like that, just created the reaction to fall back on instinct. Retreat, throw up the walls (in every sense), and hide out until the storm passes.
Not the best way to handle it of course. But think we're still awaiting more character development on his side. Another option too is a slight change in approach from Rita. Too aggressive and will get shut down again.

It's really wonderful when a girl can be "stubborn" with a guy and everyone cheers for her, but when a guy does it, he's a pervert and is sexually harassing her.
Guess the notion of "personal space" doesn't matter much if it's a girl doing the harassing. Quote:
What's with the attitude? I didn't see things from that prism, guess that was an oversight on my part. Mostly because I no longer pay actual attention to anything that guy does since, as I said earlier, the guy was never properly fleshed out as a character so he mostly passes under my radar. If anything, I was annoyed at how easily he gave up on Nanami. |

If he doesn't want to see her, why should he do so? Just because she came from soooooo far away? Pick up a phone and announce yourself. If the other party's ok with it (or you know that they'd be happy for you to visit), then sure, come over! If not, you're just being an annoyance. EDIT No. But the duality amuses me to no end. Quote:
After reading what you guys wrote about that scene... I agree, he was a bro. But I still feel he gave up on his love far too quickly (especially since loving Nanami was the only thing we know about him?). |

You've fallen into the same kind of hypocrisy that Rita basically used to justify her actions: Extreme actions need extreme measures.
The ultimate thing to note is that all parties have a fault in this, and to say either side's action was justified is in itself wrong. |
