| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The raw of episode 3. Enjoy. :) http://up.b9dm.com/video.php/vid_9587.htm |
| Oh, I really enjoyed this episode, probably because of what I found a brilliant direction choice in the dialogue parts.Even though there were many of them, I was never bored looking at just two people talking. The budget is still as low as ever, but the director seems to know what she's doing and where (and how) she wants the story to proceed. I also liked Li Ren's many expressions throughout the episode, the changes of locations and Ono Daisuke as Eugene **. Very convincing at the moment, let's see how it develops. |
| I liked this episode. The police thing was EPIC! What I liked: *Li Ren caring so much for Kajika he lock her in her room. *Kajika escape! That was good especially with the dogs since they listen to her and protected her. *Li Ren calling the police cars/helicopters of all of New York! *Eugene having problems with detectives. Li Ren rescue. More problems for Eugene....apparently he might not the heir to Vorkan business. Hahah too bad for him me say. *Me not buy it's not his fault for suicide of girls. Me think he did not express properly at all so girls kill themselves because they think not worth themselves. Me have same problem here in Japan for sex until I say to them Shinto Priest. Some don't care so is more complicated. XD What I did not like....a lot: *Eugene seducing the maid girl working inside mansion where Kajika lives. *Eugene acting all innocent when he not. *Toranosuke failing at stopping Kajika. Again he fails. *The heart beat that Eugene do something to Kajika (empty room, that is nowhere and they are alone). *Li Ren not punching Eugene. Too bad. Epic is epic in cop mobilizing with helicopters.  I am all for Kajika x Li Ren! SO CUTE! I loved this part!  |
| Damnit, that naivness from Kajika's very annoying, it reminds me of Albert from Gankutuou. Well, we saw another side of Li-Ren, it was a bit creepy to be honest, he was all that cool, charming and sexy now he looked like a freak when he found out that Kajika was in that car with Eugene. And in my opinion he was just fucking overreacting, i mean... he organized a whole perimeter around New York :/ Geez. Anyway now to Eugene; he is -quite clearly- just teasing Li-Ren, as i saw that he did that signal with his fingers to him -i lol'd there- he obviusly took away Kajika just for the fact that this could annoy Li-Ren, but he realized on that house that he likes her.. When he was all alone i emphatyzed with him, he is just a lonely but yah i must addmit that he is kinda weird, and now more knowing the fact that he made 3 girls kill themselves. The animation on this episode was very cool, the character movements were more fluent this time than before. The CGI scenes was fantastic. Seriusly, i love the fact that Kajika's personality is unique, Strong, decided and good will and not a smishmash of bullsh't tsundere I/E Kugimiye Rie characters but... For the fricking love of a sack of diarrea; she is being ultra childish, i hated when she runned away to meet with Eugene. I don't know why she still insist on him, at least she left behind the 'Mustafa' thingy wich was very annoying, i felt relieved when she called him by his name. And now we met Carl; WHOOOO HOO! I was waiting for Jun Fukuyama to make his show up. So whats with the Fang group and the Rosenthal company? I see political drama comming trying to destroy the Burnsworth. Anyway overall i loved this episode, nice character development and the Li-Ren/Kajika's scenes made me felt warmy. |

| no wonder li-ren loves kajika :D but its getting more interesting and we finally saw the 2nd man in this story.now i am waiting the last guy who is most charming for meh =P |

| I'm officially tired of Kajika, but will stick around for the guys. Li ren showed a new side of him. It didn't really surprise me that he's super-possessive and controlling. He loves her, he thinks Eugene is dangerous, therefore he goes crazy when she disappears with Eugene. Unfortunately this adds to my belief that he's going to end up the protective big-brother type. There's no way he'll get her in the end. |
| Yeah, Li-ren overdid it, alright. Wtf, 100+ police cars + helicopters? Truly shows he cares about Kajika, though. Loved his angry expressions, hehe. I can't stand it that Kajika actually decides to follow that jerk Eugene. She can be quite dense. After hearing he was responsible for the death of 3 women, I would think again. |

 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I pretty much fell off my seat at Li Ren's reaction to Kajika leaving. -_-'' Can't overdo it much more than that. |

| Well, this wasn't a bad episode, but since it's all driven by Kajika's childish whims, I can't really like it either. I guess if I look at this as an anime version of The Hills, I can get over a lot of the issues I have and just see it as a vapid rich people completely out of touch with reality show and find the entertainment there. |

Haha the over-the-top-ness is what made this anime quite funny. Seriously though if Kajika is gonna act like that following Eugene around she's not the anime character i first took her for. I'm at an inner loss as to whether to put up with this for 39 episodes. I want to like it more... |
I've Been Watching Anime for 20 years now. Can you beat that? |
| I dont want Kajika to turn into the stereotypical shoujo heroine but from the looks of this episode she will... Im also annoyed by this whole Mustafa thing she has going on her naive manner can be very very annoying Will continue to see the guys though mainly li ren |

But she is annoying as fuck acting like a child. |
| what a bunch of rich people! |

I'm at an inner loss as to whether to put up with this for 39 episodes. I want to like it more... Yeah, I feel the same way. Personally, I didn't like this episode... and I really wanted to. In theory, this series should be my favorite of the new season! In reality, I'm seriously contemplating dropping after three episodes. Meh. |
  |
| Kajika is annoying me as well. Eugene would annoy me, but his voice is sexy. So I'm alright. I want to see how the characters develop, so I'll keep watching. This show isn't fantastic, but it isn't horrible. |

Lieila said: I like this episode. LOL @ Li Ren's behavior. He shows deep attachment to Kajika. And, wowow with the number of police cars and choppers. Total awesomeness of rich people really. yeah great episode^^ there's nothing that rich people can't get^^ XD |
 |
| It wasn't that bad at all. However, it isn't good too either. I guess it will take more than a couple of episodes for me just to stir up my interest for this show. I'm not sure if I can digest the political aspect of this show. Nevertheless, I will still keep watching. |
     |
| The police cars and choppers were ridiculous 9.9 Then again, so are a few other things in this show, ha ha. (Like Eugene being only 19 going on 20! I definitely had him pegged as older. I wonder how old he was when the first girl committed suicide o_o) I guess right now I'm only watching this show for the boys (and the crack value), but I'm still hopeful that the plot will surprise me by being good. |

| Everybody in this series is a little bit loony. When I acknowledge that will make the series ridiculous by nature, I like it more. For some reason, every time people start long, vaguely complex conversations I'm surprised. When will I learn that this is a series full of talking? :p This series has such late eyecatches. o_O |
| wow that was one hell of a huge search party XD |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Where's Japan? I demand she goes back to Japan :/. |
 |
| Kajika is still pretty annoying. I'm hoping she'll stop acting that way eventually. She compares everything in her life to being on that island, but then again, what kind of parent just drops their kid off on an island? So, I give her a pass on her being annoying because of it. Hopefully, it'll actually play a part in the series later on. At the end, when they said Eugene's dad wasn't his real dad, I was just like "okay and...", but then I remembered that these are rich people and something like that is actually very scandalous. |
| This episode is good because it have a wonderful story and interesting plot. Kajika needs to remove her thought about her life in an island in her mind, in my option. She is an interesting character, though. |
| Ooook. Kajika annoyed the hell out of me this episode. Hope she doesn't keep up her childish act. >_> Li-Ren is yay though! |

Unfortunately this adds to my belief that he's going to end up the protective big-brother type. There's no way he'll get her in the end. Power goes out, and she jumps in a car with a dangerous man, who she herself says is only doing it to piss off Li Ren. Well of course Li Ren is going to pull all stops to get her back. He's slapping back at the fly that's irked him, and showing him who has more power. Over-reacting? No. He was making a statement. But then he tells her to go to Paris... Ugh, he's totally going to get cast into the big brother role. I'm sorry, but I don't like Eugene. I felt a bit of pity for him when his brother first came in, but he just irks me. Maybe it's not his fault, maybe it's because the way Kajika acts around him. I thought she was interesting character in the first episode, too. Now, the only reason I'm still watching this is: 1) for Li Ren; and 2) because I'm really hoping for a good shoujo story to emerge somewhere. On the bright side, at least she only said Mustafa 4 or 5 times this episode. |
| In my opinion this was a waaay better episode than the last one. It didn't annoy me at all. ^_^ I like Eugene's personality and also the ending of the episode. What happens next?! Dundundun. xD |
| HEY! |
| Why are the Crunchy Roll episodes subbing his name as Lee-Leng when his name is Li Ren? The end was so dramatic. Why does it even matter if he's his son or not? Mikiyo said: Eugene; he is -quite clearly- just teasing Li-Ren, as i saw that he did that signal with his fingers to him -i lol'd there- he obviusly took away Kajika just for the fact that this could annoy Li-Ren I agree. I thought that was pretty funny of Eugene. It's Li Ren's fault for telling Kajika and Eugene to stay away from each other. Eugene had no prior interest in the girl. |
 |
| The maid should be executed and kajika is just fucking stupid... now i know why they changed the director!! |
| somehow i enjoy watching li ren being jealous |
| yes yes Kajika is so annoying e.e I'm sticking for the bishies for now *continues watching* |
 |
| So this show is going to be about a fourteen yr old girl finding "love" with twenty yr olds? Japan sure mainstreams its perversions. Kajiko has an irritating personality as well. But she's cute so no doubt fun times ahead with the jailbait (though these men are rich so no chance of jail for them). |
 |
| Discount Mustafa could really use some therapy. And what's with the maid? Just because some rando on street smiled at her, she decided to risk her job and possible jail time |
| I really enjoyed this episode, Its getting a bit more interesting |
| The bodyguards were useless. I hope they can recruit bodyguards who are more agile, fast and have energy. And yeah? When Kajika said she hate the new Li Ren then I wish Li Ren can stop caring about her. Like just seeing her from a far so she'll take her responsibilities of herself by herself. I understand that he likes her but this ojou-sama is irritating. So what if she grew up on an island? That doesn't change the fact that she's Burnsworths' only daughter, many people don't hesitate to try to trick her and put Burnsworths in danger. She is indeed a brave girl but her naivety irritated me. And she needed to use her brain that the circumstances, the situation as well as the treatment she received when she was on the island and now she is in the city must be different. |
 |
| Lee-Leng is hot. Kajika is so naive. She looked a lot tougher and smarter in the first episode. It’s as if someone else took over her character development or something:( |
