Saori is such a low-key character, she deserves some love. Me x Saori.

Great episode so far. Noticing a lot of subtle body languages and eye movements that speak volumes greater than just the dialogues. Also a big fan of papa bear. Also much love for Mikigami. Ayase's insanity is also hella smexy.

[relentlessflame]

This episode basically resolves everything set-up in the previous episode. Although people thought Kyousuke was safe having not run into Ayase during his fake-date, evidence has a way to surface in the least-convenient ways, and so Ayase took him in for "questioning". All this basically confirmed what everyone already thought -- that it was unlikely that Kirino had a boyfriend. But then, right at the least convenient moment (or most convenient for her), Kirino announced that she did in fact have a boyfriend.

The remainder of the episode is essentially Kyousuke trying to work out his feelings, with the result being that (basically) he doesn't want any guy to go out with Kirino, and that any guy that wants to go out with her has to go through him first, and prove that he cherishes her more than Kyousuke does (which, by his estimation, is a pretty damn high bar to set). Suffice it to say, the act crumbles as Kirino admits that it was all an act to get back at him, and confesses (without saying) that she feels the same way about him. And the two siblings are closer than ever.

But then, as this show is wont to do, they end the episode on another cliffhanger:

Spoiler for Episode 6 Ending:

Kuroneko asks Kyousuke out.

[Densetsuhakai]

Nice episode.Though the same scene in the Novel had more impact on me, it was a great episode.But the previous episode was better.Probably my second favourite episode so of S2 far.^^

By eye movements, do you mean how Mikagami's eyes were not level at all, and made him look like he had a severe case of bell's palsy and wandering eye? Such a thing normally doesn't bother me, except this time since it seemed to only affect him and no other character.

[finalfury]

The ending was good. Kuroneko confession(yay!) was good and the Kirino Kyousuke interactions were nicely done, with the bgm fitting in very well.

I meant Kirino giving a scorching side-glance to Kyousuke+Kuroneko in the middle of her conversation with Mikigami. There were a number of other moments like that where the eyes were telling much more than the dialogue.

I tend to agree with you that this is something that this season is doing very well. If you just watch the eyes of the characters, you get a very clear read on what they're thinking. This applies particularly to Kirino (who some find hard to read), but also to the other characters as well.

Agreed. Don't forget the scene where the mother is watching them in the background too. Not just the eyes but also in the way the character's expressions seem to tell a different story compared to what they say.

[Entravity]

Feels more and more like last season which is great for me at least. That Kuroneko ending

[EroKing]

Why does Ayase have handcuffs?
Nice to see the best girl stealing the show at the end, go Kuroneko!

I know, I was just being sarcastic due to how badly Mikagami's face/eyes were animated in this episode.

In case a stalker breaks in and demands that she handcuffs him, of course!

I love Ayase. You can tell she's into kinky handcuff bondage play.

I didn't notice his face/eyes.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

These Ayase and Kyousuke scenes are as always brilliant.

Is it only me or does Misaki Mikagami look like a girl? Had to laugh at almost every frame there.

I'm not to sure, what Kyousuke will be, wheter he will accept or reject the confession. He pulled something big off with his sister and her fake boyfriend. If he would accept the confession, he would be a real scumbag, since he doesn't want her sister to get a boyfriend, but on the other hand, he can go out with wohmever he wants? I guess in the current state, Kirino wouldn't like to see Kyousuke with another girl(and certainly not with the plain one).

If I would be Kyousuke at this point, my head would be full of Kirino.

[Divini]

Every girl got their kawaii moment this ep!

Ayase asking Kyousuke to her house, Saori with her hair down, Kirino crying, Kuroneko at the end.

So much cuteness. Only plain girl got left out.

Really? Like hell he would. Only Kyousuke's Dad ever said he flat out rejected it (being drunk admittedly).

The point Kyousuke made was that whilst he was unhappy about it, he would be willing to accept it so long as Mikagami proved himself to be a capable boyfriend and be able to keep Kirino safe. It smacked to me of something his Dad would be saying rather than him.

Essentially, he is looking out for his younger family member. The bond Kirino and Kyousuke share, to me, is familial, nothing more - and I can guarantee that no matter how many fights and whatnot you get into with an older or younger sibling, anyone does harm to them (emotionally or physically) and you'll be the first one on that guy's doorstep ready to kick that person to the curb and moreso. Kyousuke did, after all, say that it was Kirino's decision.

Just like it would be Kyousuke's decision to go out with Ruri.

Is Kyousuke for real?!!!! Can anyone be this weak?!!!!!!!
Can you really find any boy who gets insulted by his damn irritating sister over and over without any proper reaction ?!!!!!!!!!!
