According to ANN this series has 24 episodes. I was actually thinking this would be 13 eps, because it feels like they should be reaching some sort of a climax soon. While this is a nice series, I don't know how they intend to keep the intensity up for another half of it. It's getting kind of old that Hikari is thick and Kei's plans are more or less accidentally thwarted by some third party time after time. Also, they have introduced pretty little new to the story since the beginning to support additional story arcs.
I also have no idea, but if they just keep it up as it is, it's fine by me. Special A is just thre relaxing type of anime for me. Seriously though, who didn't Kei would tear Tadashi apart. Rather, he's been acting quite passionately these two eps.

And here's Episode 12 !!
<3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.
And here's the real (h264) version.
An interesting episode. Things went a little Kei's way this time. Hikari's incredible density is going a lot overboard already, though. It honestly has no thread of believability left.
The Kei/Hikari thing might be more or less resolved with this. next ep seems to be moving someplace else
It'll definitely come back, that's for sure. Kei being sick turned out for the better after all, as long as he doesn't remember that 30KG icepack. If he wasn't that sick, he would've been pleased to pick out that Hikari was wearing a miniskirt.

30KG resolution:
Episode 13 h264 - BakaWolf-m.3.3.w
Episode 13 xvid - BakaWolf-m.3.3.w
The recent episodes exploring the deeper background of our characters seems to have give S.A a bit more substance, though the episode did feel a little slow. Yahiro is turning into a fine asshole, but that's okay. A series like this one needs an antagonist like him. It's good to see the Tadashi x Akira pairing moving forward a bit, and it should continue over to next week. Not to forget our prime characters, I completely forgot Kei gave Hikari a kiss until I saw her blush.
All in all, it was S.A. with a slightly darker tone, perhaps to accompany a change in OP/ED themes.

Yahiro is a real detestable asshole. That was indeed the lesson of this episode. I was getting tired of the Akira flashbacks, though, no matter how bad a past she had had, so I'm happy that seems to be resolved for now - not the past but the flashbacks concerning that one girl who looked like her long lost friend. It was too pitiful to watch.
Hikari seems to have some problems to be in Kei's company. I guess she's not anymore sure how she feels and how she should behave. Jolly good.
Haunting childhood memories.

One of the better S.A. episodes so far. I liked how they managed to turn Yahiro's character right around without feeling all cheezy and used. Likewise with Tadashi's simple minded, yet useful and dependable personality. The hugging scene in particular was well done, and you just can't deny that Tadashi is a really playful, yet earnest and caring guy.

Probably one of the funniest SA episodes to date. I had good laughs all the way through this episode, from Akira teasing Kei to finally Womanizer Jun. It's like he has a sex mode. Hikari unknowingly admitted she likes Kei too. I'd be really pleased if S.A. can keep up this level of quality through to the end. Light, funny and entertaining.

"Go yourself, Go Die!!" just made my day. While Kei x Hikari is still the focus of the main series, Tadashi x Akira has the bittersweet feel that Kei and Hikari lack. Perhaps physical abuse does the trick (there a saying in Chinese: 打者愛也, which means those who hit are those who love). Next episode should be more content filled, since they seem to be wrapping up this couple more or less.
Also, while still his witty self, Kei seems a lot more nicer in nature these days. Does a love confession really do that much?

That was a very warm episode. Hikari is still as out as always but somehow even she was hanging on there.
Aye. I'm willing to say this one beats all the Kei x Hikari pairing episodes. Like I've said before, I find the Tadashi x Akira's relationship to have the most "feeling", and the insert song only brings it out more.Originally Posted by Kraco
Next week's should be just as fun to watch, with the rather "out of the blue" pairing of Megumi and Yahiro.
