I really didn't get the Minorin "it's nothing!" gesture during the class scene, wasn't she the one who sent the note to him? it's too soon for ami to learn to fake hand-writings... and Ryuu's mom, is she also only acting as an air-head?

For me Minorin's gesture means that "girls who refer themselves as air-headed are looking or acting like *ballet girls* (you know... all nice and beautiful and stuff) but actually, they are *scary* or an absolute *no-go*"

this is why she made this (.[o.o].) gesture first and then holding her hands symbolising like a " X " with her arms and hands.

but oh ya.... that was really weird.

The funny or weird thing however is, that both Taiga and Minori sit behind Ryuuji to his right... but "Minori's" letter came from his left...

and since Ami is also sitting to the left (and behind him) I thought she wrote it as first... but since Taiga's letter came from the front I thought this detail didn't really matter.

Episode in general:

I really waited for Ryuuji to say "I know that you are just bitching with me" and I hope he will do that at some point... and I hope it he does it when she is in real trouble ^^
I can't wait to see more.. Ami really made this show interesting for me.
Would be cool if she really falls in love with Ryuuji or something. Yarrrrr

Yacchan (Ryuu's mother) really is a total airhead as far as I know. She's a selfish, spoiled, hostess. She's mainly the reason Ryuu turned out the way he did.

Minorin is just really, really weird. That's all I could see out of the gesture. She was telling him that it most certainly is not okay in her usual, strange annoying way.

I'm thinking the issue with Ami is that she's always been so stuck on being an model, or the daughter of a famous actress, that she can't be herself. This is Kitamura's concern. Perhaps he believes she will crack if she is unable to let appearances and pretense go and just be able to be herself.

[MFauli]

This episode was certainly better, but only because of introducing a whole new plot. I´d prefer if they stick to Ryuu and Taiga, but, whatever.

gg's... err.. *ejem* qq's release here: http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=38405

So... is Aero a good group? Haven't heard of them.

So... is Aero a good group? Haven't heard of them.

They're not perfect, but they aren't annoying either. So it's ok.
I can bear some typos when I need my fix on the other shows they sub

[animus]

Yea, they're about the same as BSS. They're doing like a million shows this season.

[MFauli]

I hope that approach of Kawashima towards Ryuu at the end of this episode is real and not some new fake of hers. Would certainly make the story more interesting. Well, what´s to say...the show got better step by step, but the overall plot still seems a bit silly.

[animus]

Ami is a good addition with some drama, without her the series is unbearable. Let's hope it doesn't revert to the old man-bitch and loli-bitch three stooges comedy act.

[MFauli]

lol, i know i suck at making videos, but i love the opening song, and i thought of a game that fits the melody the best: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=CybtdXAzA98

:P

What I don't get is, Taiga is suppose to help Ryu get to that girl and she hasnt made any attempt yet. Taiga seems more pissed at Ryu if another girl is near him. Sounds like one of those "OMG Help me win other guy heart, while she falls for him, the guy helping her," type of stories. :P

[Yukimura]

I initially worried something like that would happen in this series. If it does turn out that Taiga gives up on Kitamura for Ryuji I would feel jipped. This show initially sold me since I saw some potential for it to be different from the typical "seemingly incompatible guy/girl try to help each other find love and end up falling for each other" storyline. That said, even if they do end up together it would be better than having anyone end up with that psycho Kushieda.

As to this episode I quite enjoyed Ami's development and of course Taiga being Taiga.

[Death BOO Z]

I disagree. the whole idea of the show was for them to end up together. I was hoping it would be just slightly less retarded and forced than other series... it started up nicely, when they both worked together and chances to interact without an "OMG you looked at another woman" attitude all the time, and since both of them are opposites at some levels (he's goodnatured wimp with a bad face, and she's a midget berserk bitch), they could relate and have comical scenes about that.
but I guess not. Ami and Kitamura are mighty brain-powered, Minorin is just a freaky girl, and Taiga and Ryuugi are both idiots.
Too bad, I wanted something intellegent, I know we can't get more KKNJ, but one of these days, there must be an anime that isn't total crap.

oh, episode six. I don't get the entire diet-thing.. and I'd assume that a super-bitch-super-model will try getting her 'stalker' out of her life with some more reasonable ways...

[MFauli]

I have to say, at this point of the story i HOPE Ryu and Taiga end up together. I dont know...it´d just feel so stupid and boring if they got their "victims". Taiga only admires Kitamura while another boy is doing everything for her, and Ryuu seems to have no relationship to Kushieda at all. Sadly, Ami wont play a role, she´s definitely just there to make things more interesting for us watchers. THAT would be an unusual ending, if Ryu did end up with Ami, haha-

And now, talking about the initial potential of the series:
I actually thought the series would go along the lines of "boy who looks evil but is nice makes contact with girl who really is "evil", and by these circumstances is pushed near her, thus getting into interesting situations. That´s what i thought after the first episode, and i would have totally prefered it :-/
Also, in that one scene in episode...1 or 2...where Taiga kicked around all the stuff of a classroom at once, i thought the series would involve magic or some kind of martial arts (like Tenjou Tenge), haha.
Whatever, i´ll keep watching.

[Death BOO Z]

again, not much of an episode...
basically forcing a situation just to get cheap laughs out of it, it's not like we haven't seen this type of thing in a million animes before (though, I guess female viewers can relate better to this).
Taiga's a bitch that doesn't know what she wants, Ami is a bitch, Ryuuji is a man-bitch, Kushieda and Kitamura can go to hell and became satan's bitches, for all I care.
their female teacher had some funny lines, though.

Anyone besides me checked out Paradym's releases? They were the first release I noticed for ep 7 so I watched theirs. It seemed to be on par with or maybe even better than AniYoshi who I've been archiving. The 1024x768 is probably upscaled or whatever but it still looks alright and it's the same file size as AniYoshi's smaller resolution releases. Aero seems pretty mid-tier to me and unless they're first or the only group doing something I haven't really been using them as a go to group.
