Bah Takayuki should just end off with Ayu, she's cute and rich...and they already fight like a married couple what's left?
I mean if Haruka and Mitsuki ever try to come after them, Ayu can hire some bodyguards and problem solved |

Fuck if I was Shinji Takayuki would already be a bleeding mess...*Sigh*
why do I feel sorry for both girls for falling for such a useless guy. I always felt as a man, I had to be reliable, make decisions, stand by them, have a future, so I can provide my future family with whatever they want. Then there's Takayuki the fucking useless mofo, and he just pisses me off so fucking much. |

I found this episode very entertaining, especially when Takayuki called out Haruka's name in his sleep. I'm hoping for a Mitsuki bad ending now. Go Mitsuki, reclaim your Takayuki and suffer for the rest of eternity. |

Mitsuki: "Takayuki!"
Takayuki: (*giggle* Watch this!) "...Haruka." Mitsuki: "...God this is dumb...Anyway, lets get you fixed up." Takayuki: [disengages all expression like a highly-conditioned super-spy who is being interogated by the enemy] "......" Mitsuki: "Here's some fresh clothes and some medicine...let me sponge that sweat off you..." Takayuki: "......" Mitsuki: "Better now? Okay down to business: I slept with Shinji." Takayuki: "...!!" Mitsuki: "...." Takayuki: "...!!" Mitsuki: "........" Takayuki: "...!!" Mitsuki: "Your're not angry..." Takayuki: "...!!" Mitsuki: [drops the One Ring of Power into the Cup] "I'm leaving you." Takayuki: "...!!" Mitsuki: [opens the door] "I'm really leaving...*whispers* It's your line, baka!!" Takayuki: "Ah!!!" [runs to hallway] "Um...Mitsuki...um...?" Mitsuki: "...*sigh*...later." Haruka: "Huh...? Is it my turn yet?" Takayuki: "Guess I better try calling her..." [calls Mitsuki's work] Ishida: "Sorry, she's doing the 'say I'm not here' thing." Takayuki: "Oh, okay. Whatever. I can say I did my part when I call Doctor Laura." [throws empty bottle across the floor] "Bah, who wrote this ridiculously contrived script, anyway? Anyway, back to work!" Ayu: "Damnit, your crap plot-line with that flaky blue-haired ho took away MY meanigless comedy segment last episode. So get the slapstick out RIGHT NOW!!" Takayuki: "Like this?" [pulls on Ayu's cheeks] "He he he! This beats the hell out of making up with the woman I love!" Shinji: [looks embarrased] "Sorry. Plot." Ayu: "God DAMNIT!!" Shinji: "Anyway, you heard what happened from Hayase, right?" Takayuki: "I guess." Shinji: "...that we slept together...?" Takayuki: "Yeah..." Shinji: "...." Takayuki: "....?" Shinji "...err...your lines?" Takayuki: "This is it." Shinji: "You're kidding." Takayuki: "Nope." Shinji: "...wow." Takayuki: "Anyway, you can have her." Shinji: "Argh! Why couldn't I have a lead roll? WHY?!" [attacks Takayuki] Takayuki: [doesn't fight back] "Cliched nice guy who is too nice for his own good isn't that great of a roll..." Haruka: "Is it my turn YET?! Moe...!" |

After seeing this episode, can someone remind me why these girls like Takayuki in the first place?
This episode only further proves that Takayuki is a total A** wipe. He acts like he doesn't care a bit that Mitsuki slept with Shinji and cares even less that he's partly to blame for it. He just throws her to Shinji like a used rag that he doesn't want to bother with because it's too much trouble. Maybe a few hits in the head with a lead pipe will wake his lazy brain up. Shinji was far too lenient with him. The more I see of this show, the further I despise this little piss ant. Oh well, at least Tsukihime isn't disappointing me. |

Man, I was pissed when Shinji got pulled away from punching Takayuki by the manager. I was hoping he'd rough him up some more.
I don't know if Takayuki is that nice. He has no backbone and is indecisive, so he never really does anything at all. I guess his indifference can be taken as being 'very nice' ? |

He's not nice, he just goes with the flow, being nice is doing something BECAUSE you care and want to show you care for that person. Being indecisive like Takayuki is just going with the flow and agreeing with whatever is going on, so it seems like you always will agree with everyone.
TWO diffrent things. Takayuki is stupid, he may have a good heart, but don't confuse nice with indecisive. |

So he's nice to everyone but Mitsuki. His plan seems to be: Be nice to every girl I know except Mitsuki, because she'll be around even if I treat her like shit, and I'll have lots of options. Everyone seems to think he'll end up getting back together with Mitsuki, but what if she decides she doesn't want him? Even if it didn't happen in a game ending, it could happen in the anime. Remember, both have to agree for a relationship to exist. |

Sigh.
Actually, he's been firmly pigeon-holed into that lame take-responsibility-for-the-world flawed hero archtype. As lame and as stilted as it seems, I *gaurentee* he is going to expose why he let Mitsuki go and attribute it to his desire to "take responsability" for everything bad that's happened to her and quietly let his heart suffer from the loss so that Mitsuki doesn't have to hurt by him anymore and because he "deserves" it. I want to throw up just by thinking about it; it's just so forced, so generic and so damned FAKE. Look. Heroes are expected to have a hero's virtue; people have inflated views of their own morality, so it is important that the fictional characters we are asked to identify with live up to them -- even if we often fail them ourselves in the real world. But there's a difference between that and obnoxiously trying to ram that down the throat of characters of who coouldn't possibly feel or act this way in real life. |

The hero in a story is the character that we, the audience, is asked to identify with. But this is a tricky interface: there is more to it than just drawing someone and making him respond to stimuli -- he must embody certain virtues that our egos will accept being identified with. He must become a symbol for ourselves. If he was drawn as someone who is sometimes dishonest or greedy like a real person, than our egos will get in the way of identifying with him.
For instance, which is more acceptable to you: 1. A hooker who gambled away everything she owned and now lives on the street selling her body to feed her addiction to crack -- but would rather die than tell a lie or cop out of a commitment? 2. A stock-broker who is an upstanding member of the community and takes good care of his family, but cheats on his wife and swindles his company? Most people would more easily identify with the hooker. That is because she embodies a re-enforcment of our egotistical self-image of our ultimate rightness and justness. The stock-broker lacks this, and so there is an emotional wall that we will place him on the other side of, where the bad people go. |

I have to agree with most of the people that I really dislike Takayuki now. I never really hated him in the beginning or at the middle of this anime, but now I do. For crying out loud, he really should of stuck with Mitsuki because he had a flash back of Mistuki when he collasped and Mistuki took care of him when he was sick.

Man I wanted to see Shinji wipe the floor with Taka, which I kinda knew would happen when Shinji was all like telling him not to hurt Mitsuki in the beginning. I mean even though he is her friend those actions are of someone who obviously liked her no matter how much he might've denied it. I was also glad to see her leave after too many episodes of her moping around in utter depression. I was like "You go girlfriend!" I hope Taka takes some initiative to do something. I hope that Haruka can come to terms with reality and tell Taka good bye and to go after Mitsuki.
Actually...I had rather Takayuki walk into the train tracks and get hit by the speeding train and then die. Then we could've had this whole dramatic death scene and then Mitsuki could come, he confess, and then passes away. That would've been hella screwed up. |
