episode 6 raw
I think this show is headed in the right direction. It's turning from a guilty pleasure into just a pleasure. Maybe we've seen all these situations before, but interesting characters and relationships are growing. We see Shizuma from a different angle this ep. There's an ironic distance over everything -- like in the ED -- but that's okay.

Episode 6 imo was the shinning moment of the series so far - we got deep down true feelings (well apart from the Hikari & Amane thing going on), then the cute feelings that have been shown around the show.
At this moment, i'm not to sure whats going on with Shizuma - i know that she might use females (like when Nagisa seen her in the forest), but as its been said.. she really is developing feelings for a lil' Nagisa. Best episode ever. <3

I have a few ideas as to why Shizuma is the way she is. Can't wait to find out more about her backstory.
I don't know about you guys, but the piano scene with Shizuma and Nagisa reminded me a lot of the piano scene with Sachiko and Yumi in Maria-sama ga miteru. |

That was hands down the most boring episode thus far. Every time this series tries to show any serious drama it fails. Maybe I just can't take it seriously after the hilarious first episodes but in other cases (Rozen Maiden, Mai-HiME) the change from comedy to drama has not bothered me so I don't think this is the reason. I guess Nagisa enrolling into the cosplay club would have been a better episode.

Very good episode. We're not yet in drama territory, it's just that the groundwork is being laid right now. And it's a very good sign that the show does NOT try to stay afloat with yuri tidbits, but rather continues to develop the characters.
I'm with the yay-sayers. The direction it takes is just peachy. |

Huh huh, hmm I didnt read the spoiler but I think it's pretty obvious as to why she's the way she is right now.
As for people constantly commenting how this show is a ripoff from Marimite......come on, how do YOU make something original? Let's move the school to Venus instead? and instead of being a school, let's make it an astronaut training facility?.....hmm actually that doesnt sound too bad, however the point is stop comparing everything it just makes you enjoy the world less |

But of course, even if I see it as a close imitation of Marimite, I actually find StoPani very very entertaining. In fact, I like it as much as I like Marimite (in the 3 mediums of novel, Manga and Anime), even though the 2 are in different leagues at the moment. On a personal level, StoPani has become one of my favorite spring series. Hard to believe it myself, but I guess having read the story before contributed to this evaluation. Nevertheless, I still love it despite whether knowing the story beforehand. ^____^ @ Rin-sama LOL at the gif. That's gotta hurt for Chiyo. ^^; Last edited by Dav; 2006-05-13 at 04:16. |

No problem! Glad to see that you've come to like Shizuma's background story too.
