----------------------------------------
An average episode, nothing really happened. It was funny when Tamaki went out in the middle of the night to get the tv listings so she could record them while she is away at the training camp and also more time for the female teacher (can't remember her name) doesn't hurt either. But, it did have flashbacks (I really hate flashbacks).
AEN actually did a decent sub (text size was a little large).

Pretty decent episode.

lol Miya stalker is pretty crazy, a life size card board made by herself? That was creepy but pretty awesome at the same time. Some parts of the subbing was a bit off at times but a nice job from AEN.

I gave this episode a 3/5.

Miya-Miya is my idol!..LOL ...even though she's such a bully, she successfully gets Azuma to join the kendo club by using 'reason' (ok .. and a bit of threat :P) Overall, I think that part was the highlight of the show (unless you also count the obessive stalker moment), considering not much happens afterwards.
It's also odd that Tamaki's father is afraid of yuji-kun ... is it because he fears him as a love interest for Tamaki or as some sort of past feud between famililes?

I don't watch this series but I helped edit AEN's script for this episode. I can't help but smile when I see comments that they improved :D

Though a bit sad that not everyone who worked on this episode was given credit.

Miya-Miya is evil... but in a good way. Tama almost forgetting to record her anime was a good ending, too. I wonder what her father's worry about whatshisface is.

I wonder what's that fullsized cardboard Miya-Miya is for o.o She said she's got a plan for it, but it could be just for... well nevemind <.<;;
Also I liked how Yoshikawa-sensei turned out to be a game-freak, it really improved her personality imo XD
In this ep it didn't happen a lot, but I suppose it tied up the loose end of Azuma entrance to the club. Now I'm looking foward to see what's going to happen in training camp.

Yoshikawa-sensei -> Game Freak
Tama-Chan -> Otaku

What else for the woman of the anime? ;P

Good episode and nice preview. But i think the increase of fan-service is rather poisonous for the anime. Ending r0xed :p

Nice episode. Looking foward to the next. Quite a few nice touches in the epi.

AEN is definitely improving. ;D

Average episode? Please tell me that Miya-Miya threatening Azuma to join the club wasn't an awesome scene? I liked this episode, and we now officially have our green.

Reimi is completely obssesed with Miya-Miya too. I wonder how long it will take Miya-Miya to snap and try to bloody murder her.

Miya-Miya getting Satorin to join the club was awesome. And I loved the conversation between Tama and her father about the training camp.

Haha, Miya-Miya and Sacchin ftw. Was a good episode, but do I smell Tama getting involved in romance? xD

Looking forward to the next ep.

I've never been a Miya-Miya fan but her scene with Azuma was just awesome. The frog stood no chance XD. I wonder from where does Tama's father know of Yuuji and his father?

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

i wonder why tama's dad didn't offer the dojo for the training camp if he was so worried about yuiji

also i think saya and kirino's attempt at convincing azuma was the highlight of the show :)

Pretty good episode, even though not much happened.
Loved the part where Tama says to her father, that she'll stay at school, for the weekend, with boys. His reaction was priceless xD

  1. I'm starting not to give a shit about this Stalker Yandere. She's not so relevant to the plot so far.
  2. I see a spark of gaming romance blooming between the teachers.
  3. Kirino & Saya crying is the most preciously cute thing in this episode.
  4. Miyako could be a great psychologist or a motivational speaker.
  5. Creepy spar dummies...
  6. Again Sensei won the Buttmonkey Award for this episode.
  7. Tama's father shouldn't be too concerned. After all, she can totally smack Yuuji if he tries anything fishy.
  8. I feel that it doesn't really matter who Mr. Generic ends up with.

*Sigh* Saya's being terribly neglected, even more so than Miya. At this point she's just a side-kick to Kirino. And her character was so hyped up during her absence.

Episode was nice anyway.

I don't think that he's concerned about her lack of consent. Quite the opposite actually.

I actually find Yuuji another victim of the show's neglect that spans over quite a few characters actually. More than clearly generic, he's actually underdeveloped. Just like Saya, there are some good bits about his character that are hinted, but are unfortunately never really zoomed in on.

Miya-miya can be quite devilish at times, but I'm still glad Azuma joined. Also Kirino and Dan will bring her grades up, no doubt.

Miya finally unleashed her ability of persuasion to lure Azuma into the club. The whole scene regarding this was pretty amusing too watch.

Ohh, a training camp, how nice. Shame it'll be at the school tho.
