Spoiler for episode 4:

Kaoru Chujo · 2006-02-01, 19:40

The public nature of the poll gave me pause up until now, but this episode was so good (for romance-lovers like me) that I was going to call it excellent (nothing's perfect) even if you hadn' made the names private.

All three of the main voice actors are outstanding: Horie Yui (Yasuna), Tamura Yukari (Tomari), and Ueda Kana (Hazumu) -- maybe in that order. My heart filled several times and broke twice. And I finally noticed that the spaceman is played by Shuuji from Honey & Clover (Fujiwara Keiji).

Some slight changes from the manga seem to be improvements, as before (except for the one scene in the shop). And the way some of the emotional scenes were handled gave me respect for the director/storyboarder, Nakanishi Nobuaki 中西伸彰, who had directed episodes of CCS and did a lot on Kaikan Phrase, but whose only series-director credits were years ago, on Bomberman Bidaman Bakugaiden and Little Women 2.

The animation is good, too. I especially liked a scene where Hazumu is stamping her feet with excitement. And the emotion in the faces is great.

There's an amusing reference while

Spoiler for "episode 4:

stevency · 2006-02-01, 22:40

This episode finally touches the triangle relationships of T, Y, H.

The pace is kinda speedy but not too hard to catch up. [IMHO that pace is good for such kinda shows, it created a big cliffhanger effect right before the ED start rolling. I enjoyed that.]
Now that's what a good storyboarder must be accounted for. 9 outta 10 I'd say.

K-chama · 2006-02-02, 12:14

This epsiode kind of crossed the line for me when it came to the ecchi comedy. Hazumu is struggling with her feelings for Yasuna and the father just ignores this to be a pervert. And I thought he might actually sit down and ask what's wrong too. It put a dent in an otherwise great episode.

Episode 4 has been subbed. Should hit Suki soon.

KaneDragon · 2006-02-10, 19:55

Ayuki is everywhere... Take the blue pill Tomari~ o_o
Plenty of drama, but Tomari just has to break things up at the last second. =/

And Hazumu's dad continues his downward spiral. Venus! >_<

Akuma-sama · 2006-02-10, 22:12

I had a serious Mai HiME flashback in this episode... a certain scene...

Spoiler for Mai HiME:

Big deviation from the manga, though... I like Yasuna's confession better in this anyway. Leaves more room for drama for the classroom kiss.
But then, if my theory is right, the original artist didn't want too much Yasuna/Tomari rivalry to get in the way.

And yes, Ayuki is frickin' everywhere...

10/10 for me

TDRKZ · 2006-02-10, 22:56

From the Shuffle Forums and on to my new favorite anime of this season Kashimashi and what can I say? This is EXACTLY what i've been searching for. It hasn't been since Kannaduki no Miko (spelled wrong possibly) that theres been a yurish anime and I must say that this one is brilliant. It is solely girl romance because the main character is in essence, a male ... well initially anyway. I can't remember the last time such a love triangle was formed in an anime.

Kashimashi is new and exiting and made for all you romance suckers like me. Very quick and not to bore, only one episode was needed for most of the settings and now its off to the races... and I do mean races.

WELCOME TO YURIWORLD POPULATION 3 (T, Y, H)

AKOL · 2006-02-11, 00:54

Wow, Yasuna for the win. Thats all i can really say about this ep.

Without going into anything that hasn't been shown in the anime yet, what was changed here from the manga?

Kensuke · 2006-02-11, 06:05

This episode was really good, now real dorama starts to kick in. Hazumu is still little clueless, but not totally, I think. Yasuna has made her move, and I loved the little scene she has with Hazumu in karaoke bar.

Now it is up to Tomari to fight for Hazumu. And I support Tomari x Hazumu.

Jaden · 2006-02-11, 07:22

Ayuki is a stalker...I'll just ignore her.
Anyway from now on it's total war

KaneDragon · 2006-02-11, 13:02

Venus indeed.

Yeah, her/his/its father is really creeping me out as well.
Some might be viewing it as funny (i'm not making judgements, just stating my opinion here), but a parent getting sexually excited over their own child (even in jest) is just a bit too much for me.

x3. It's just not funny, no matter how hard Hazumu's mom puts the beatdown on his dad afterwards. There's been enough of this...

Moving on... Yasuna is kinda using her renewed friendship with Hazumu... She is certainly open/a bit forceful about her feelings, in any case. Poor Hazumu is so confused.

And what's Tomari going to do? Confess, too? That would make Hazumu's head asplode...

zalas tsubasa o sagashite Join Date: Jul 2003	Spoiler for episode 4: An overall nice and solid episode, although I was expecting Tomari to have more screen time since it's "Girl Triangle." The last part was done pretty well, in my opinion, as it firmly establishes the triangle. However, do Tomari's last lines to Yasuna embody an actual declaration of war, or just more of her snide commenting like in one of the previous episodes? Ayuki does give Tomari some very good advice which I would hope she would take: You have only two paths to take, to get onto the stage or to get off the stage. It seems that being untrue to her own feelings and/or doubtful is Tomari's character flaw, though. Compare this to Yasuna, who manages to blurt out her feelings even unintentionally. It is kind of amusing, considering Yasuna has a mild, outward personality whereas Tomari has a very rough, bold outward personality.

zalas tsubasa o sagashite Join Date: Jul 2003	There's an amusing reference while Spoiler for "episode 4: Tomari is reading her magazines. Weekly Shounen Wednesday instead of Sunday, and she's reading Dengeki Shoujo (parodying Dengeki Daioh probably) and has an ad for "Neko no Tsubo" (Cat Jar) parodying "Tora no Ana" (Tiger's Lair) and it has the same Miko-chan (meaning pretty tiger) type manga ad, featuring Mi(mo/ge/mou)-chan (with the mo/ge/mou meaning hair/fur)

JediNight キズランダム Join Date: Apr 2003	Millenia: Spoiler: I haven't watched Ep4 yet, but they're covering more story now per episode? I know that Ep1-3 were all 1 chapter each ... how many chapters does Ep4 cover now? And yes, it's my guess the series will be 13 episodes, but I have no idea how they're going to wrap it up because isn't the manga only 2 tankobons in Japan yet even? Guess the manga is going to be somewhat shorter as well.

Akuma-sama Purr, good kitty... Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Québec, Canada Age: 38	I had a serious Mai HiME flashback in this episode... a certain scene... Spoiler for Mai HiME: That would make Hazumu as Mai, Yasuna as Reito and Tomari as Tate... just so long as Yasuna isn't posessed by the love child of Sauron and a Takoyaki stick... Big deviation from the manga, though... I like Yasuna's confession better in this anyway. Leaves more room for drama for the classroom kiss. But then, if my theory is right, the original artist didn't want too much Yasuna/Tomari rivalry to get in the way.
