Episode 8:

OMG!!!!111

We have kiss AND (successful!) confession BEFORE the end of the story! Nice. I always hate how teased couples in anime only ever get together at the climax of the story, as if it's impossible to be a couple AND have adventure.

The scene was super cute and well animated, too. Omg. Not that the details are comparable in any way, but it very much reminded me of my own first kiss xD Really nicely done.

Now, what I hate is what might follow. PLEASE let Luou not become a psychopath because a girl he liked chose someone else :/ Dude, she's your cousin, get over it, okay? Still, expecting the worst reaction next week, ugh.

Speaking of bad things: As much as I enjoyed most of the episode, two questionable things:
1.) Talking about visible nipples when ... no nipples are visible was just bad. Japan, please grow up and allow female nipples in anime, especially when it's just their shape, not even exposed. Having flashbacks to the later BERSERK adaptation with fully visible boobs ... lacking nipples.
2.) But actually, it was bad to talk about nipples anyway, when it took place in the context of elementary schoolers >_> And then they even put an "ero" misunderstanding in their. That really is one of those reality checks that Japan is a different culture after all. Although I also wondered: The girl didn't look like an elementary schooler at all. Anime can be weird. Anyway, looking online now if there's outrage somewhere lol.

Having said all that: This remains my favorite anime of the season.
