It’s a bit of a shame that this series does use a number of cliches, like nosebleeds, dead mothers and shallow jealousy. Still, its high energy makes up for it, though that only appeared at the end of this episode. It made for a great episode ending, though most of the other airtime this week was put into building up.
There are basically two main plot-lines in this series: Tsukimi’s relationship with Kuranosuke and the adventures of the sisterhood. The former deals with Tsukimi coming out of her shell, exploring love and getting over her trauma about her dead mother. The latter will most likely end up with the sisterhood being forced to face reality when the apartment gets torn down. That all needs build up, and that’s what this episode was for.
The big danger right now for this series is that it’s going to devote too many episodes to building up: there are only eleven episodes; we’ve pretty much established right now that there is a love triangle between the Koibuchi siblings and Tsukimi (though granted, Kuranosuke seemed more jealous of the innocence between two virgins rather than that he actually feels romantically interested in Tsukimi) and that the sisterhood will probably refuse to accept the fact that the apartment will be torn down until the last possible minute. I WANT the next episode to really push this forward. Noitamina is too short to goof off.
Rating: * (Good)
the interaction between Tsukimi and the older brother is too. wonderful. XD
Good?
This episode was fucking awesome! Had me smiling throughout. Your a guy so it’s understandable that you didn’t enjoy it as much. =)
I totally agree with Arisu! This episode was great, I didn’t think we’d see pretty Tsukimi so soon again (I thought she’d refuse makeup with all her might) and Kuranosuke DOES have feelings for her! I don’t think he’s just jealous of the innocence between two virgins, or else he wouldn’t have gone to the bathroom and changed back to a boy.
And the nosebleeds made perfect sense here. I don’t think they’ll go overboard with it like in YNSH.
You think too much about cliches.
I loved this episode as well.
It was just soo damn cute to watch them all struggling in their own way and see them developing feelings.
While it’s true that we are all entitled to our own opinions, let’s just enjoy this great episode, shall we? There are tons of things that are “cliché”, both in real life and in anime, and honestly, who cares?
That said, I really laughed through out my 1hr lunch. I watched the episode twice, I loved it so much !
Kethy-chan, me too! I watched it twice in a row.
All the characters, including a driver, are so funny. In particular Banba-san is super funny. I liked the way of starting ED. The timing of starting a song is just marvelous.
:)))) I also watched this episode twice. They’re so cute :3 I think this is going to be my favorite anime of the season 😀
