Btw what ill never understand is why the producers of the show cut Sunohara away. I can only imagine how awsome their life could be, if Sunohara lived next door to Tomoya and took the role of "Uncle Sunohara".
They were such great friends, but juts because Sunohara has to work "somewhere", they split like that.
Oh i guess that´s a little pseudo-plothole, like what happened in the latest Naruto-chapter...
