    Incredibly high maintenance.

    If you want a good girlfriend, there is Yuki, who keeps calling despite everything, and tries to make time despite her impossible schedule.

    Still, I hate her guts. It is too bad she is voiced by one of my favorite VAs.

    I am rooting for Rina, unless Touya becomes more of a jackass than he already is, in which case, he just deserves to die.

    Rina's probably the safest. She just seems the most sane. Yuki would be too, but the lies between the two of them are too much.

    If I hate anybody in this show it's Touya. Not Misaka, not Haruka. Touya.

    Annoying as the other girls are, at least they know what they want to do. Misaka knows she likes Touya, and uses every opportunity she gets to do things with him, subtly showing him is feelings. I'm pretty sure she knows how Akira feels towards her, but it's only after her and Touya's situation is cleared up that she allows him to approach.

    Haruka stalks Touya like a pro. Likewise, she only has eyes for him, romantic or not.

    Touya, on the other hand, is one irresponsible guy (refraining from stronger language here). He completely forgets Yuki, makes out with her manager, and declares love to his senior because she likes him.

    All the problems start in this show because:
    1) Touya is too dumb to notice things around him
    2) Touya is too dumb to know what he should and shouldn't do
    3) Touya is too dumb period.

    He is referring to the anime School Days and how he openly declared his love for Makoto, a male protagonist similar but on a worse level compared to Touya.

    In short, you hating Touya gives him the shivers, I think...

    Just saw this on ANN.

    The official website for the White Album television anime series has announced that the second half of the television series will air in Japan this fall. The second half will consists of episodes 14 to 26. The first half of this adaptation of AQUAPLUS and Leaf's adult romance simulation game has been running in Japan since January 3.
    http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...to-air-in-fall

    So we've only been watching the first half.

    No wonder their hasn't been enough of the Yuki/Touya/Rina sordid love triangle development this far into the series. This works even better for me considering they essentially ended anything with Misaki. For those that like her, there is always the chance she'll come back.

    Interesting to split the show into two seasons, but not surprising. This might give Touya a chance to actually "give a damn" about one of the girls instead of being a jerk.

    that's awesome. Here I was thinking this show'll get nowhere by episode 13.

    Well that certainly makes more sense.

    Akira is getting quite cheeky. I would've smacked the shit out of him if he talked to me like that.

    The Yayoi sections a mystery yet again. What did he mean, the original Yayoi he knew? The original cold doll? I was confused since she was acting a bit vulnerable, I guess she really might've been scared.

    The letter is a break up letter? Or from what I gather a possible quitting of her career? Why's Rina crying? Confusion.

    Could yayoi mistakenly tear up Yuki's letter instead of hers? And yeah, the "original" Yayoi is also confusing... at least we knew the stalker was Rina's former manager.

    Akira is getting a bit defensive of Misaki, but I don't blame him. Overall, emotional episode.

    Yayoi is intentionally tearing apart Yuki's letters. It's all part of the plan, whatever that is. Only Eiji and Yayoi know about the parts where she and Touya are involved, but I'm sure only Eiji knows everything. He kept the little challenge he has with the Sakura girls company president from Rina and the details are very strange.

    EDIT: [reworked the numbers]
    At 15:23, they show the numbers that the Sakura girl's president is looking at, part of the challenge with Eiji. The first column is capacities. "C" is Calma (Rina's), "K" is Yuki's, and "A" is the Arena where the Sakura are. Calma works out to be less than 1/15th the capacity of the Arena, in line with what Rina said. The real question is what the multipliers signify. This might be the key part to their game. Before Rina switched it up, the two combined forces of Yuki and Rina wouldn't be able to topple the Sakura girls. With Rina's gamble of the telecast, she can annihilate them all on her own if she succeeds. Whatever "spectators mobilized" means in this context, I can only guess at. That seems to be the final number, so I'm left wondering what the multiplier means.
    [reworked the numbers]

    Moreover, Rina was a little turned off by the "46701" written on the mirror. Deep look of sadness actually. What was the significance there.

    This episode was all very strange. Rina's career almost seems like it is being sacraficed in order to propel Yuki's. The shift of Touya's affections may seem to be the obvious result, Yuki has less and less free time while Rina has more and more, except for the Yayoi situation. They're not close (they never could be), but he seems to be accepting what she's now offering him, and she seems to be melting just a little bit. She wanted to release her own worries and fears on him, seeking comfort, but pulled back into her duties at the last second. It seems odd that Rina's old manager would be going after Yayoi, but that may or may not be the case, we have no idea what the contents of the letters have been. He might be going after Yuki for all we know.

    Rina is by far my favorite though, closely followed by Mana. With this though, Yayoi got a lot of humanization, and I'm even warming up to Haruka.

    But what will the crazy stalker-rapist do to Touya? For whatever reason, he seems really pissed at Touya. Perhaps for not only aiding Misaki to her near-victory, but also in helping her enough that the asshole humiliated himself with his horrible acting? I guess I was a little premature in declaring the Misaki developments completely over.


    ...and yeah, Akira becomes more of a douche every episode. Why was he taking Rina losing out for the Arena booking so hard?

    Numbers:
    2 000 is 1/15th of the arena=30 000

    second number is I think the number of thousand yens per seat.

    So Initial plans are
    Yuki= 2 000 seats @ 1 thousand= 2 000 thousand yen
    Rina=1 300 seats @1.5 thousand= 1 950 thousand yen
    Girls= 30 000 seats @ 0.15 thousand= 4 500 thousand yen

    Then Rina thinks of the stadium idea, adding at least 50 000 seats at a bargain price


    That's my guess.

    The problem is that on the miror, the number is different: 46 701, it should be seats
    Depending on the kind of stadium, not all seats can be used... and it could be a problem for the balance of the show, resulting in a loss of money.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Ah, the thousands of yen makes sense, since 46701 puts her at 4203, below the Sakura girls without assistance from Yuki.

    She can't use all the seats because not everyone could see the projection, and they probably need to drop in a better sound system too.

    Yay for math and economics teamwork.

    That's the turnout I'm guessing. Rina has Touya to thank too, for this idea. Without him, I doubt Rina would have realised that despite complaints and refunds, her fans would still do just about anything to see her show.

    Yayoi looks to be warming up to Touya. Touched by his (not so) persistent love for Yuki? I don't know what to think of the letter though. I don't think it was a break-up letter though. Perhaps just telling him she doesn't want him to see her until after the concert? He never picks up, after all.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
