Kidou Ibuki (Akiko) has appeared as a side character in another current show: Aikatsu. She plays Himuro Asami, the black-haired girl who appears in a sequence starting around 8:20 of episode 9 in that enjoyable young-shoujo show about aspiring idols. The star of that show is Morohoshi Sumire, the 13-year-old who plays Arisa in OniAi.
This makes 15-year-old Kidou-san's third anime role. Her character and voice are quite different from what they are here -- although you can hear something that tells you it's her. The brief sequence convinces me even more that she has a big future as a seiyuu. The co-star (blue hair) in that show is played by another up-and-comer, 19-year-old Tadokoro Azusa. She won the 2011 national seiyuu audition contest that Kidou-san was a disappointed runner-up in. Both she and Kidou-san are now with the Hori-Pro agency, which sponsored the contest.

Another good episode for Ginbei. She's been winning me over lately. The end of the flashback where Akito finally discovered she was a girl was hilarious.
Arashi pleasantly surprised me this week. I thought she'd use the opportunity to sneak into Akito's bed naked or something but she actually nursed him properly. Futhermore, when the two were left alone in the house, she didn't even attempt to rape him and instead acted like a Yamato Nadeshiko. That was very unexpected. I Next week is an Ana episode. Very much looking forward to it.

I'll apologize to the Gin fans in advance... I'm sorry as to what I'm about to say.
Now that we know what kind of past Akito and Gin have together, I don't blame Akito not building any romantic feelings towards her at all. I mean seriously, I don't dislike Gin how she is now but, she was such a snob as a child. Who knows how long it took for her to dis-spell that characteristic about her, not to mention that Akito most likely witnessed most of it. |

I supported the Ginbei ship, largely because the girl seemed to be the sanest of the lot, the most reasonable, and the most natural with Akito.
Well, until this episode, but it shows how much Ginbei has grown. I wonder how Ginbei would have been like with out Akito. Then again, girls like Anastatia, had they met Akito when they were young probably would also have ended up quite differently. As for Arashi: I'd imagine that her Yamato Nandeshiko personality is her public persona, while her wild side is kept only for those she considers friends. |

Mhm would love to read the novel but there's no translation, or at least not much of it.

I'm not such a huge fan of Ginbei. She seems all nice and good now, but back then, she was way too much of a tomboy, to the point where Akito actually thought she was a boy (until he found out the hard way), and though she seems to have settled down a bit, I don't think Akito can see anything other in her than just a childhood friend. I'm sure if he felt anything more towards her, he wouldn't have waited so long to express it.
Arashi was the star of this episode, though. I was surprised that she was so well-mannered and behaved when she was alone with Akito, whereas otherwise she'd rape him on the spot. Also, Chu2koi reference FTW. So far, I still think Anastasia is the best all the girls.

Akito. Stalking and raising flags since childhood.
Anastasia. Having the same expression, always (dat fried shrimp). ( ̄- ̄) Ginbei. Forever (best) friend zoned. Arashi. Geass?! Charles, is that you?! Jinno. Forever alone... As always, good episode. Loved the scene where they repeated "Akito!" three times over. This series keeps making those kind of "just repeat the line and use the same scene and bgm" parts and they always work for me. Sexy eye-catch. And finally, the OP's timing always makes the overall episode feel shorter. It's funny, really. Next episode: Anastasia's turn. Will she finally be able to swipe that lower part of his body?
