I suspected as much; if they're aiming to put it all into 24 episodes, a lot of editing needs to be done.

In other words, Toradora-ing

But as long as it's smooth and clean, I won't complain.

If this happens then the last volume will come out in March or April 2013. I guess the real question is will the anime or the LN release the ending first, and will they have slightly different ending like Toradora did?

[Chaos2Frozen]

You know, if they really want to 'old-school' it, they could make one big OVA as the finale

^ This is getting a game !?
Please let there be a Harem route.

[Master Assassin]

First thing one should do with that is be a good Samaritan and hand over Nanami her Kanda-kun.

That has to come first before using the devil's touch to make Jin-san give Misaki-senpai up to Sorata. Hue he he he he.

And then proceed to become a better adult (read: teenager) than Sensei does.

Then move on and give Mashiro some loving patting.

Lastly, include all of them as one harem. Hue he he he he.

And I'm saying all of the above in a completely good way.

I first saw this as a manga and then it suddenly have a anime which I'm really glad to. I'm glad I picked this up

The BT page got an update for chapter 1. Goodness, I really didn't realize how much of a genius Misaki was until now.

Well I had an idea even from the anime but the novel really drives the point home.

I'm looking at the last Vol1 picture:

That's Shiina right?Looks like she's going to start showing emotions soon

[sky black swordman]

^ Yeah that's her. And if she does then I wonder how things will change?
For the MC I mean?

In regard to the discussion about the difference of anime episode 3 and the source material (novel volume 1 and to the lesser extent, manga episode 8), here's what they alter in anime episode 3:

Spoiler for What have been changed from the novel material -- haven't shown on anime version counterpart. Major spoiler warning!!:

First at all, the first GF of Jin is Misaki's elder sister, hence Misaki didn't even need to stalk this couple in order to know the detail. Misaki does talk about that on both novel and manga. For some reason the anime adaptation didn't reveal that. I myself wonder will they (JC staff) reveal that later on.

Secondary, the anime adaptation did cut out the "umbrella" plot (before and after Jin and Shiina "dating"), which play a important part (IMO) to change their relationship back to normal -- or in the other word, to another phase ( you could find that in the whole manga episode 7, and the majority part of episode 11, hence that's why I'm surprised they cut those section out altogether)

Anyway, after going back to read the novel and manga once again, I have a strong feeling that the anime adaptation may try to resolve it with alternative plot at the beginning of next episde (4), if they want to stay faithful with the main plot of the original material source.

So far, I'm satisfied with the anime adaptation up to this point even though they did change some plot here and there.

Although I begin to worry about the possibility of finishing the whole story in 24 episode length -- they didn't even finish the story of the novel volume 1 yet ! Will they finish 24 episodes with the novel volume 6 material and call it a session, then leave everything else out for another session (supposed novel volume 5.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 10)? Or will they decide to speed it up and cut out a whole lot of plot in order to finish it at EP24? Well, only time will tell.

Well we've been using the word "toradora-ing" , and so far its following the toradora model,from what I remember Toradora took 4 episodes to cover vol1 but then sped things up and covered all remaining 9 novels in 21 episodes.

So I expect something similar here,that means I doubt 5.5 and 7.5 get adapted,maybe as OVAs later on if we're lucky.

[Chaos2Frozen]

That being said, you certainly wouldn't hear me complaining if they did decide to make it into two seasons


Sigh, I regretted not reading this sooner, now the Chinese sites have all taken them down =_=

[waffler]

who is sorata gonna end up with? i hope its mashiro... shes so cute!!! and the other girl is too plain and normal i dont like that much :/
