| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- kyaaahhn!!! eng sub not released yet, managed to watch the raw with chinese subs. thanks to aarinfantasy!! from what i understand [i'm nt really chinese literate nor jap literate, so i sort of understand bits and pieces from the jap convo] ---- (¬‿¬) please... don't torture me anymore and release ep 4 already!!! ಥ_ಥ and i want more IasonxRiki!!! >w< could this ep be any better? |
| I don't usually watch non english subbed episodes, but I've just read on aarinfantasy that the translator is pretty busy and we'll have to wait for the subs till like April... myyyy, someone pass me a tissue, i'm gonna cry. I can only hope that someone from Polish translation group is gonna be faster....I WANT TO SEE IT SOO MUCH >.< |

| That's about as much as I understood! xD Well from what I've watched I like it even without the subs :D It's killing me to think I have to wait another month for the next episode + translations but I'm glad this anime is being remade at all x3 *Cough* I was so excited about episode 3 that I looked up episode 4's release date ahead of time and it made me sad because I found out they're only making 4 episodes :'( |
| They finally see each other again! :OO Just waiting for some action to happen.. xD *perv* |
| Still no "action" in the third (out of 4...-.-) episode? God/Jupiter/Iason, why? :D :D |

| I remember, hi should release more episode, or not? Оо it's sad. I want more! |
| Song - It's almost that sex, but they are no children ... |
| It's so sad that they will only release 4 episodes... :/ WANT MOOOORE ! :C Anyway... they must have to add some Iason/Riki action now !! |
| It's impossible to finish whole story with just 1 more ep.... Just impossible! 4 ep are definetly not enough to show everything, especially when they pay so many attention to Kirie (could sbd explain me why? I dont understand why he gets more time than Iason or even Riki, WTF??????). If the next episode will be the last one, then I prefer the oldest version of AnK. For me, this one sux hard :x |

For me, this one sux hard :x yeah, i do doubt how they are going to finish ep4. i'm just hoping there'll be a surprise ep 5 or something.. :< |
| I haven't read the light novels but even I can't see how they intend to wrap it up within 1 episode. Not only Riki seems to have no interest in returning to Iason, actually, this ep made me feel that he was scared of him. Iason has just started taking the very frist steps of getting Riki back. They either want to push a huge amount of story into 1 episode or they'll leave it unresolved. Who knows, maybe they just published these 4 as an experiment to see how it will sell and they'll make more (and finish it) if it sells well. On one hand this would be very good if it was selling but since I have no idea how popular this is in Japan, it worries me that it might stay unended. I guess I'll start reading the novel. This ep was amazing just as usually, it was cute to see a little bit of Riki/Guy romance. It's funny that the smaller one is the "man" of their relationship. XD (At least from what we saw.) Kirie was hilarious (and bratty) just as always an the rest were pretty much the rest like always. -_- The scene where Iason and Riki met was very interesting and very well done imo. I was happy Riki had a normal reaction not something cheesy like from other yaoi/romance anime. AnK gets plus points from me for having realistic charatcers. |
 |
| Maybe it's wishful thinking, but the video Iason is watching shows a different expression of Riki than the one in the "encounter". It looks like he's whispering Iason's name. Then again, it's possible I'm imagining that longing look :D |
 |
| Myyy! At long last! Have to say that it was worth waiting a month, though I wish that episodes would be longer. I sympathize with HikaruIzumi about the fact that it is actually impossible to draw the curtain on this serie with only one episode left. Aaaand it would be simply CRUEL. My first question when I started watching was like: Can I have one of that bikes pleaaase? Preferably with a bishie attached to it. Then I had a really really wrong association with moving Iason's photos of Riki and Kirie to those in Harry Potter...Someone please take a gun and shoot me xD Besides, I also enjoyed watching a little Riki&Guy romance, however the awareness of what's Guy gonna do in the near future kinda messed the atmosphere up. Also I have to say that I don't hate Kirie as much as I did before, they showed him in a different light, that's good. I liked that scene where Iason's doing his job with solving so much cases, it was pretty impressive, like the idea and all. I'm wondering how will this process of changing Riki's feelings (from a total fear to...well, some kind of love or a great attachement, call it whatever you want) be showed. If they'll decide to end that anime properly, of course. Hope they'll do. |

ritsu-san said: however the awareness of what's Guy gonna do in the near future kinda messed the atmosphere up. Impossible. He won't have enough time to do "this" in the next episode. Remember about all things that were before it. This version is shorter than the one from 90's (4x25 min instead of 2 x 55 min) and containts much more unnecessary scenes. I don't know how do they plan to finish it, but if they do this with "that" scene they'll make me really mad, cuz it won't make any sense >_< |

| Maybe it'll end up with Iason coming back for Riki and the famous "Do it to me" ^^ |
| |
| I still believe that they'll make more than 4 episodes, I think that otherwise the whole thing would be quite pointless. We'll wait, we'll see. At this point I'm really concerned about what to expect... Likaspain said: Maybe it'll end up with Iason coming back for Riki and the famous "Do it to me" ^^ Wish that Shiozawa Kaneto was alive :( |

ritsu-san said: Wish that Shiozawa Kaneto was alive :( I agree. Where else will we get such a deep voice? |
| |
| No idea :( by the way, when is the 4th ep announced to be out? |

| April 18. Next week :) |
| |
| I just checked the old OVA... they covered ~20 minutes of the first one, lol. But they should have enough time to finish the first OVA at this pace, I guess - maybe that was what hey were going for. Either way it's a good place to stop because then people can just watch the second OVA for the continuation. |
| Yay finally subs! Guess we weren't too far off just alone with guessing XD Can't take the eating-popcorn-off-the-edge-of-my-seat anymore ~ looking forward to the next ep :D Regarding this being 3/4~ This anime is great for getting someone interested in the series so for all we know it could end up being one of those un-concluded endings where you watch the old series or buy the novel to know how it ends... but I really hope that they'll surprise us with their original plan of 13 episodes (especially since I have no clue how they're going to sum everything up into 1 last episode O.O) I'm a bit confused though... on many sites it states that there's only 4 episodes, but a friend of mine checked out the official Ai No Kusabi website and said that these 4 episodes are apparently only the first part...? o__O |
| Yeah I do believe the 4 OVAs was just only the first part according to the official site... Well I hope that's true. Dx I saw the raw of the 4th OVA and it didn't look like an ending at all, so I guess we have some hope~ |
      <--- Clicky please? <3 |
| Really? Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Hope we're not gonna have to wait for the 4th OVA translation as long as the last time. |

| Riki,you have to go back to Iason :3 You shouldn't suffer...run to happiness - to Iason ^___^ |
 |
| Team Four Star funny lines came to mind when Iason made his entrance at the party 'Once you got a man inside you, you know when it his coming' - Krillin from DBZ abridge. |
| OMG, when Iason showed up I was screaming run Riki! Overload of Tension. I was trembling. Iason is so, so, ...his existence can't be described with words. I love them. Riki totally freaked out. I watched the alternate version of this, but I can't see how they'll shove all that happens into there. I really don't want a rushed ending. Oh, I wish there was more than one episode left. I definitely have to find the novel. |
ritsu-san said: My first question when I started watching was like: Can I have one of that bikes pleaaase? Preferably with a bishie attached to it. quote] Exactly. i loved Rikki riding the bike, both at the begining, and when riding with Guy. he is so gloomy here:d looking: dont fuck with me! the encounter was awesome. fear, lust, bad memories, hatred, love, anger i guess he had these all. and his reaction was so much better than in the original anime. but honestly, i hate characters like Guy, who are usually very kind and worried about the main character and then suddenly become the villain.(reminds me of togainu no chi) |
| Great episode Although There’s still no “action“ “yet“ |
