You know you liked it.

Though, if this was real.....that scene would not have ended with licking.......... (the only unrealistic part)

And yes, this scene did violate Itou Shizuka. Though I'm sure that quote was just a baseless rumor. Its 2chan afterall...........

Since he was acting strange, I guess so. I think she was referring to his brain specifically.

Spoiler for ep 3:

I didn't know a kiss at back of the knee can be that hot... The upperclassman's facial expression was very... arousing too... Oh God! I can't believe I just said that. XD

From Rihoko arc I do not expect anything because she does seem as slow as Haruka just minus the looks but plus the big boobs. Hardly a character I am eager about.

You mean the girl who is afraid of her own shadow? I'm looking forward to that because Miya is all her already. And Rihoko? Well. Umm. I want to defend her but I having nothing to defend with. You win. I'm still looking forward to her though.

[bigdeath]

I'm looking forward to Rihoko. She realistic looking, most girls in real life don't look "perfect". She seems a bit of an airhead which errrr........is also realistic.............lol *runs*

Besides, not wrong with a girl with a little more meat on her bones. Just means theres more woman to love.

Since when is it unusual for an anime to be wish-fulfillment? The appeal of most anime -- and of most popular entertainment in general -- is based around wish-fulfillment (shoujo romance, shounen adventure, harem comedy, mecha, etc., etc.). It seems to me that the main difference is that this show is doing a good job of fulfilling.

Maybe I can accept more fantasy here since I don't come into a show like this looking for either complete realism or instructions for living. Don't try this at home, lol.

What i simply liked more was the fact it was just simple, no drama, no exceptional problems, it just went with the flow, however that doesn't mean that i dislike more elaborated histories, i just think it's also important to be able to enjoy the simple, like here for example

You coudln't have said better =D

Spoiler for ep3:

...in the shed. It said that everyone was so embarrassed that most of the seiyuus left the recording room. Yukana was excited enough to wake from her normal doze. After the scene, Itou Shizuka was so embarrassed that she went to Asakawa Yuu and cried. I have no idea if any of this is true, but that is the quote, as far as I understood it.

hahaha =DD if that really happened, i wonder how will be like the recording sessions for Koe de Oshigoto!

No anime girls are "realistic", that's why they are animed girls

2D >> 3D

Completely unexpected development......of the bad kind, not sure what else to say except I hope the other stories aren't this ridiculous.

Its just that. Theres so much wrong and creepy about this relationship. He's not spoiling her he's just being slightly ALOT perverted in a need to fill he strange infatuation. I don't think I quite got the " Jealous " part of the episode. Then again, I did have an aneurysm from watching. I think Hibiki is looking at this the wrong way. But Morishima is just loving it because of her infatuation with cuteness.

As soon as the episode began I though " wow. what a tease ". Then I thought " ummmm ok " . Then finally I just recoiled from a wrench being thrown into my brain. This was the hardest episode I've ever had to watch since Haruhi Episode 00.

And once again, Miya gets some good airtime. Honestly, I have no idea how this will affect me an hour from now. If someone was waiting to drop this series. I think this might have pushed them over the edge.

I was going to watch today, but these are making meh not wanna watch it. I hope this anime doesn't get badd enuff to the point i want to drop it like i did Ookami shinichi whatever, and about to drop that occult one.

Nah, there is nothing wrong with more meat on ones bones... but I cannot agree with less brains... thats bit wrong in my book.

Thats why I am afraid that she will turn out another Haruka with bigger boobs less handsome hair and eyes but as equally retarded.

I know that some would say that it is just being naive but again - sometimes it is hard to tell apart the incredibly naive - from a mental retard, because in both cases intellect isnt working all that well (in naive cases its because it lacks of information and in retarded case because it is incapable of gaining and using information).

Well I didnt expect much from her. As I said before - she has the looks, but seems very shallow person behind that.

Haruka's not dumb. Like someone mentioned way earlier, in ep 1 she realised Junichi's feelings, coaxed a confirmation and confession from him, then rejected him early so he didn't get his hopes up.
After that, though... her behaviour in ep 2 and 3 is kinda hard to reconcile with the quality she showed earlier.

Its those episodes 2 and 3 that make me doubt if her act in ep 1 was as schemed as some like to imagine in any case 2 episodes > 1 episode so I am still saying that she is on the slow side.

You should still watch it. Just make sure you give yourself an hour to watch and not just 25 minutes. Its gonna be a ride Also, if you don't like it. Watch the next arc. I think thats the beauty in this. I can buy only the DVD's of the girls I like

How about you go watch. And then tell us if an hour was enough?

Also Shiroth. Did you get enough Kaoru for this episode? I really hope they do a better job on her animation for the next arc.

By the way. Im watching UTW subs. Whats up with the " Spring has sprung " stuff?

Just another way to tell 'spring came' I guess.

[Carlos Julian]

I for one found this episode hilarious. And not in a bad way.

Probably a metaphor for falling in love.

Oh that's just the teacher flirting with Junichi. She wants him really bad.

[Mentar]

*lol*

If Shizuka Itou went to another girl after this scene, then only to cop a feel, not because she's really embarrassed

I think that Haruka is really easy to read. There are two conflicting forces fighting it out inside her head: On one hand, we have the uber-playful and excited/excitable girl who wants to enjoy life, live out her fantasies and be a good sport. That's the girl who will allow a guy to kiss her knee's back because he managed to clear the tasks she put in front of him. And then there's her defensive mechanisms: The girl who will ask a guy to look elsewhere when she's crawling through the fence, who will hold her skirt down, who will amend the rules when he's zooming in for the kiss, and - also - who noticed the crush in ep1 and consciously sent the stop sign. That was way too targeted to have been a mere coincidence.

Haruka isn't dumb. She also hasn't forgotten her "want someone older to depend on" line, which in fact happens to be a good idea ^_^; ... she could use someone levelheaded to make sure she doesn't go overboard, but at the same time, that's not what she really wants or needs. She wants a companion who would enjoy the plays in her life as much as she does. And she's weak against the persistence Junichi shows.

At the moment, Junichi is winning because he manages to relentlessly tickle her playful side, so that her defense is overpowered. Once he manages to overcome this last hurdle in a permanent way, he'll have won.

Oh, nicely put. Is she a Gemini? It's going to be hard to keep a girl like her interested, though.
