----------------------------------------
I know this episode is still Raw- but Yahiro is introduced in this episode! I'm so excited because once he came in the manga everything picked up, so I'm guessing the anime will start getting into the plot and become a lot more interesting =3

I really, really liked this episode. The comedy actually made me laugh and, while the drama still felt flat, it was at least a little bit better. It's great that Hikari knows about Kei's infatuation with her, and I love the new character. :D The lack of Akira was sad, but the episode got along well enough without her. XDD

And Hikari looked great in the dress. :D

Definitely one of the better episodes of Special A so far, I think this is what I signed up for from the start, the mix of over-the-top insanity and some intriguing romantic moments. Hikari was so adorable in this episode, although I hope she doesn't lose that competitive edge.

Yahiro's a character I like a lot mainly because he isn't afraid to be a bit daring and a bit inflammatory, and I'm glad he's not a one-off, if his backstory with Akira means anything.

A bit of a predictable episode but still a fun one.

@Faust / Others: I almost forgot what show I was watching, though, when she tore off most of that dress. XD Surprised Kei didn't flip out at that.

I like this episode

Hikari is still dense to realize Kei's feeling?
If I were Hikari....for sure...I am falling in love with Kei :D LOL

I think this was my favorite episode so far. Lots of shipper moments, over the top reactions from Hikari, Yahiro's bishie factor = win.

I liked this episode, it was alot better than the last few. I liked how Hikari is finally realising that Kei likes her. :3

I'm now looking for some more character development in this series because I think this could make it alot better, because at the moment the characters seems kind of distant and not much is known about them. I hope they add better comedy in the future episodes because the comedy hasn't been that good so far and it felt a little out of place at times.

I can't believe they left Hikari running around in dress... well, whatever.

Kei looked totally different and waaaay more hott.

Yahiro is just plain awesome, he's one of my favorite characters of SA.

the episode was pretty good through this won't let their relationship get anywhere either, since I bet she will just continue as before.

<Boursk> either way, I wonder how the story's going to go now
<Boursk> it's so stupid that she needed someone to tell her that the guy loves her >.>
<Boursk> I mean seriously EVERYONE in the show knows it
<Boursk> except her >.>
<Mathes> and she probably will need even more people to tell her this till she really belives it...

It was very funny when she realized it - however I think she might need someone else to tell her that he does.

I was super excited since I thought this part in the manga was super super awesome and I LOVE yahiro. but I was kind of disappointed. they Didn't really explain the game fully, and completely left out how yahiro beat kei once, and they madekei seem uber lame at some points.

Aside from that the animation bothered me. Everyone's hair colors seemed liked they kept changing and it was hard for me to recognize characters at points. Also, some of the really cheesy sound effects got to me.

Otherwise, good episode. Yahiro's voice is dead-on to what I thought it'd be like =)

I was thinking the same thing. They totally left out the Kei losing story, which is mainly the reason why Hikari wanted Yahiro to recognize her as Kei's rival to begin with. I wanted to see Kei's reactions to that scene.

Yup, it's a young Akira. <3 Kei sai that he, Yahiro, and Akira were childhood friends after all.

Even the better episodes of this show (this one) are kind of meh. To me, the humor and the character both feel very ... flat. I've heard that this episode is the turning point at which the plot starts to move, so that makes me a little bit hopeful. I guess I'm still watching because I keep hoping the show will get better.

Cute episode. It was funny whenever Kei wanted Hikari to tell him what did Yahiro told her...
I do hope the series will get better cause i feel that something is missing, its still entertaining and fun to watch though.

Yay! Even better than last one. Another 5/5.

Hikari was very adorable and I am glad that she doesn't love him yet, just because he may love her. She is a rather unique character.

Kei's expression was priceless when he saw her in the dress. :D

I really liked this episode, though there are better animes out there this season.

LOL at the clothes. :D I can't stop laughing.

Oh my, Yahiro is really scary.
