Really enjoyed ep 7 ... the characters really come across as very "real" somehow.
Did not expect Mio's family to be outright "nudists", though. It would explain much in retrospect, but yeesh. You know, though, Kaito is a strange male lead. He has principles and decisiveness, yes - he pretty much knows his mind on things, moreso than plenty of male leads in anime series. But somehow he still comes across to me as nondescript, somehow. Hmm. Maybe just me, I guess? 7.5/10 vote for ep 7 from me.

Was looking forward to this week's "Onegai Senpai" based on what I saw others post earlier. This series just keeps getting better. While I still don't believe that it is the best boy-girl romance show of the season, it is certainly one of the best comedies this season and I have to give credit to the writers and the director for the realistic and very likeable supporting characters that go way beyond the cliches that I thought they'd enbody. I also have to credit them for not dragging out certain things like other rom-coms. I even found that my respect for Kaito has increased.
I still like Tetsurou a whole lot more than Kaito because Tetsurou is really a nice guy. It was a great moment for him to tell Mio that she should trust the nakama more, and he stood up for her. Mio also had a great moment where she finally told Tetsurou how she felt. I want to see where these two take it because I can see how they deeply care about each other, and I think they could be a great couple. I liked how Kaito acknowledged some of his shortcomings in his talk with Ichika about Kaori. He could sense that she was pushing herself to be closer to him, but he just couldn't be man enough to confront her over it so once again Ichika does the heavy lifting for him. He also still hasn't done the kind thing by sitting down with Kanna and explaining that he wants to be with Ichika and that he isn't going to feel that way about her. This is one reason why I still can't see Kaito as a nice guy. He's a typical teenager with glasses. Although at least he's FINALLY taking some initiative in his kiss of Ichika. Now, if only he could use that initiative in his life. Then, he'd be the male lead that deserves Ichika. I would have liked Remon to tell Kanna what she could sense about Kaito, but then again, we wouldn't have seen Kanna-nyan in a maid outfit with cat ears and a tail. So I forgive Remon for that because well, neko maid Kanna is just what the doctor ordered. I would love to see Kanna find her happiness too. Maybe she'll realize that she can do better than a guy who is only interested in the busty senpai for physical reasons(EDIT: although to his credit, he is very tolerant of Ichika's quirks like her odd way of cooking and I don't think he'd act differently when he finds out that Ichika's an alien) and meet a guy who like her for what's inside and not her bust size. For all of this, I give this episode a 8/10. Next episode looks like they'll be a "test of courage". EDIT: My perception of Kaito may be colored by slight envy of him.

Why do most episodes start out kinda boring, but then it becomes incredibly awesome? This episode delivered. Mio confesses, Kanna dress like a catgirl while getting drunk because of Remon, and Kaito almost makes out with Ichika.
So the whole reason why Remon got kanna drunk is to ease her sorrow as to what was going to happen later on? |

Kaito x Ichika
Tetsurou x Mio Remon x Kanna (We all know Kanna secretly enjoy her special sessions with Remon, and Remon seems more interested in Kanna than in the other characters) Those are the pairings I want to see at the end of the series. Nobody will be left all alone this way!

It's technically not too late for a "Guy C" for Kanna... You never know.
I wouldn't wish Remon on anybody romantically. From an audience POV she's a hoot. As a person (alien?) she's a sadistic terror.

Guy C for Kanna? As likely as Kaori (aka Girl C) coming back and stealing Kaito from everyone else's noses.
...dammit, that felt so dirty to say (type?). As a shipper, I SHOULD be on the far end of the 'optimistic' side ('delusional' if you will) for my ships.

Hmmm wonder what will be the result of Rinon sending the ship up up and away.
Also wasn't the ship kinda damaged so much that it couldn't fly away? Unless authors meant that it wouldn't be able to sustain life on board, but still was functional ...

Once Rinon god ButtSquashed the ship started. There's no way that ship from Ichika planet would start immediately after getting a distress call. It was Ichika ship. First of all you get Rinon taking over the controls of the ship (all rinon faces appearing on the hud) watch ep 1 to confirm how it looks like when Rinon take over the ship. And ship was starting kinda from earth moving to space. (otherwise it would be shown a ship flying towards the screen not outwards) So I'm damn sure it was Ichika ship going MIA, thing is where did it go and how did it go considering damage done to the ship.

Unfortunately it will play a major part. There's this foreshadowing that after summer ends they will part their ways, or so we are lead to believe. Only way for that to happen is for ichika to leave. Unless Kaito will die, cause ship go MIA. No ship=no healing = dead Kaito -_-.

lol. The intoxicated Kana was so cute. Her behavior and manners of speech during such state makes her stand out more than the other cast. The maid outfit plus cat ears just made her more endearing. As for Mio, I'm glad that the episode explained why she's always naked at home or not wearing underwear.

The show's pitched as a "nostalgic romance"; nostalgia's that longing feeling for a happier time in the past. So someone's leaving, but as the ending of Onegai Teacher shows Spoiler:

I feel like if there is going to be space cops actually showing up, Remon is going to save Ichikas ass with her infinite wisdom.

I like the theory that Remon is Ichigo underneath another alias, personally. And that her mischievous ways are only amplified as time goes on, going by her increased 'pranks' from teacher to twins to this...
