    Oh sure, lets go ahead and intensify the emotions of a bunch of high school juniors. Sounds like a great idea what could go wrong? Heartseed has an awesome sense of humor.

    Funnily enough it's Inaba who wants to jump on top of someone and not the Aoki. Heartseed did say last time that he wouldn't do anything to "inconvenience" innocent people, but I wonder how that'd work. Taichi could well have smashed the glasses girl if Inaba wasn't there. Had they both wanted to smash the glasses chick.. she'd be dead or something.

    Welcome to the party xD. Inaba will be seeing admirers in the room on over to our left. Grab some snacks and other refreshments as we head on over to take you to the back of the line.

    Don't worry, she's a minor. I can wait till she's ripe, adult, and knows what she needs/wants

    HorribleSubs - Episode 09


    --------------------------------















    Heartseed.. just go watch some drama shows if you want some love triangles as entertainment. No need to mess with people.

    +1 for Inaban's choice of black straps across her chest.

    I have to admit, I was rooting for Heartseed during that scene. Inaba thinks she's so smart, but like he said, she's just isolating herself in a way that she made herself believe would keep him from interfering. But he makes the rules, so he can change them whenever he likes. Moreover, like he said, she's hiding herself in a "room" anyway, so he doesn't really have to change any rules. Inaba staying away from the other four isn't going to make things any better. In fact, it's more likely to make the other ones lash out trying to help her. Even Yui was willing to listen to them every once in a while. Inaba just shuts everything out and tries to go into full zen mode.

    In the end, she's hurting herself the most, because she's so socially isolated in the first place. No wonder she wants to maintain the status quo, it's all she has.

    The only problem I have is why she was so insistent on pushing Iori and Taichi together in the first place, particularly if she wants him so badly. I get that Inaba felt Iori was suffering and would finally have a shot at happiness if Iori had someone as selfless as Taichi after all she's gone through...but Taichi and Iori would have had the, "You are Iori" conversation anyway, so she would have been fine.

    Given the situation, I'm rooting for Heartseed as well because Inaba was pretty much just running away from it. Overall, I'd still say Heartseed's in the wrong for messing with people was what I was trying to say.

    The stuff discussed this episode suggested that Inaba was more interested about "keeping" her friends rather than actually caring about the friends per se. That's what I took from the comment that she's trying to preserve the "atmosphere". It probably comes from the fact that this is as close to having friends as she's ever had, and she doesn't want to lose those relationships. Since entering into a love triangle could jeopardise that, Inaba decided to dismiss her own feelings.

    Bastard Taïchi getting 2 hot girls all for himself... And he's called a selfless freak. He's a downright playboy!

    I hope Iori gets dumped because of her "I want to keep our current distance" approach towards Taichi.

    I wonder how Inaba's character is going to change in the coming episodes. It is pretty hard to act arrogant and cold when everyone knows you are head over heels about the person.

    I had mixed feelings this episode.. mostly negative. The entire episode felt long and drawn out. The lecture droned on, either because it was boring, monotonous or I already knew what would happen. The only redeeming factor for me was seeing Inaba's smile at the end to say that this wasn't all for nothing.

    The only redeeming factor was Iori chewing out Inaba, and all the while Inaba thought Iori was just having an "episode." From Iori's reaction to Inaba suggesting that, and the lack of reaction when her verbal assault ended, Iori wasn't having an episode.

    It started with a look of her steeling herself, not a snap like we've always seen. Iori ended it with a sigh, not a look of shock, as they have done before. Inaba forgot (or perhaps never knew, and only Taichi does) that Iori is better than anyone else at putting on a realistic act in front of others. Several personas and variations.

    Inaba might think she's insightful, but in terms of empathy, she pales in comparison to Iori, who has had years of practice judging the feelings of others and choosing the appropriate one. She knew that the only way to get Inaba to admit her own feelings and get past her fears was to force her.

    WOW. I really like this show. I was just gonna watch an episode or so, but then I thought it was really good so I ended up marathoning all the way to ep 10 last night.

    Inaba is awesome.

    She's quite cool with talking about sex. Her kiss reaction was great too, like her behavior when her instincts were first unleashed. Her character is quite compatible with people spending too much of their time on the internet and watching anime about High-School life or the likes...

    Please take a look at my sig and avatar. I obviously wasn't seriously asking.

    You're reasons are way different from mine so your reply is interesting anyway.

    I was not that serious or had such a tone, was I?

    There's her character too, after all she should overcome her flaws when she matures. As a fictionnal character she won't though, but a real life grown-up Inaba would be a very interresting woman.
