I laughed quite a bit this episode. The comedy pulled off quite nicely, especially the transition to the real bear.
I just feel really sorry for Kei.

Yeah. Kei looked really down at the end of the ep. But on the other hand, it has seemed like the constant competition with Kei is currently the only think Hikari is living for, so it makes a little sense she has an automatic defense mechanism for anything that could disrupt that view of the world. Still, she is incredibly thickheaded.
It's also safe to say with this episode this series waved goodbye to any realism it might have once had...
This scene really made me laugh. Good episode!

uhm... i don't think their abilities ever had anything in common with regular humans (or even animals). look at episode 1!
this ep was actually funny as hell. the first and second traps were the best! Kei didn't even hesitate!
In the end, though, i really doubt the situation will get resolved... hell i've never actually seen a show (anime) where the mains get together in the end (well... maybe FMP, but that's debatable)!
This episode pretty much confirms Yahiro's statement that Kei never really seriously competed against Hikari.

actually... i'm not sure. actually, it might be the other way around (although not intentionally). thinking about it, except for this last race, every time Kei beat Hikari was because he was going over something that she did.
Well, that's what challenging's about though. You both do the same thing, or try to achieve the same objective, and see who can do it faster and better than the other.Originally Posted by Darknodin
Anyway, here's the next ep.
Special A 08 v2 (XviD)
Special A 08 v2 (h264)

what I meant was that Kei overdid her in a way that would have been impossible if she wasn't there. For example, he couldn't have jumped that high in the first episode if he hadn't gone over Hikari. there is also the argument that Hikari is a mental boost for Kei (even though he doesn't show it)
Goddam I hated instantly the brat in this ep. I was gritting my teeth for the whole duration of the ep. And instead of getting rid of him at the end, we even got his obnoxious big brother back. I hope Kei kicks both their whiny asses all the way back to Japan in the next episode.
i feel you... what could have been a pretty cool episode was ruined by that annoying kid. On the other hand, i don't find the older brother that annoying. i'm actually looking forward to the next episode. Oh and about Kei and Hikari not hooking up by the end of the series... well, i'm not so sure anymore. unlike other shows of the genre, Kei is pretty honest with himself. Also, they didn't forget about the earlier episodes as I thought they would.
Yeah, the older brother is not nearly as annoying, that's true. It's just that every time I see him, I'm afraid he will go after Hikari as well. And Kei's fault and weakness, despite being honest with himself, is that he seems unable to tell Hikari directly how he feels. The brat's older brother, whatever his name was, wouldn't have such problems.
Though Pesu was funny at parts, I was hoping this entire episode that the twins would snap and kidnap him or something. It felt more annoying, but still an SA episode.
I agree with that. With Hikari there, Kei does try to outperform her, whereas he wouldn't have needed to do anything much at all if she wasn't. But what ever Hikari's done so far hasn't pushed Kei to his limits yet, except maybe his frustration at her thickness.
EDIT:
Special A 08 v2 (XviD)
Special A 08 v2 (h264)
Here's a list of what was fixed:
* Time shift as it was timed to a different raw
* A few minor typos
* A sign disappearing a frame too early
* Missing credits
I'm not going to bother, since I didn't see anything wrong with v1. But if you haven't downloaded yet, might as well grab the best.

A nice S.A episode today. We got the background info we needed to stop Yahiro from baffling us, but we still didnt' get the full story. I particularly like how they fixed up Chitose's attitude. I can't bear to see him like last episode again.

I'm calling Hikari on her bluff!
Takishima somehow did something to her in the past and she's now having fun torturing him!
this was a good ep.
Nah, I think she's just stupid. Or rather she doesn't want to believe because her current life is based on competing with Kei, and if that setting somehow changed, she would be standing on nothing (from her point of view).
It was a good episode, and especially since it was made evident Yahiro doesn't care for Hikari, and thus isn't endangering the Hikari-Kei couple. Still, it's kind of dubious whether he is trying to help it either...
Hikari on the bluff:
Episode 10 h264 - m.3.3.w - BakaWolf
Episode 10 xvid - m.3.3.w - BakaWolf
Ryuu's skill is pure win. I so wish I had that skill, even if it was only for the past week. For the last couple of weeks, I've been really enjoying exploring the other characters.
Next week, looking forward to what Kei will have Hikari do for a day though. He's finally taking action now.

Aye, Kei surely decided to push forward. And Hikari can't get a good night's sleep because she apparently imagines Kei intends to eat her hair... At first it was funny Hikari is so thick, then it turned to unbelievable, and now... I don't anymore know what to think of it.
Still, at this point I could actually believe this series could have a conclusive ending. This doesn't fully conform to format of those series where the end situation is exactly the same as the beginning, in my opinion. I surely hope it will end well and Kei gets Hikari.
