The foreigner trying to talk to Sakai FAILED to communicate so funny badly it was almost painful to watch. And I was just posting in the Kokoro Connect folder about the frequency of sexual assault against women. Poor Sakai - I'm sure what was going through her mind was as far as could be from what that guy was trying to get across.

Anyway...

Yep, my favorite part was when Wien bunny hopped out of Taichi's room - at least he had the sense not to stand and stare with his mouth hanging open.

A VERY close second was when Konatsu told her brother about how she found his stash of porn. My own mother was really funny about it with my brother and me - it was so obvious she knew that my friends and I ended up just stacking them on a bookshelf in a corner of the basement.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh.

Sakai: "I am no money!"

This episode was pretty good. Loved Sakai and the foreigner, as well as the two random guys (friends of foreigner?) that started playing instruments.

Yay Wien. BUNNY HOP!

Pretty funny episode.
At the start where Konatsu told her little brother that she learned the location of his porn from there mother was a good laugh.
Konatsu is definitely a evil sister.
Tho her club idea was nice towards Tanaka's

Atsuhiro walking in on and Tanaka's sister was a bit obvious but his reaction was great especially when she brought them something to drink.

It's seems Sakai is still wavering in thoughts tho she might have been convinced by the teachers words if he would have finished the story about her mother.
And that man that was looking for her is a perfect example of a language barrier it seems he only knows one language.
And Sakai trying to talk with the little English she knows was funny.

It does seem like Sakai's mother was in choir club with Vice Principal, and Principal was probably theri advisor. That reminds me that the song Konatsu found in the classrom previously must have been composed by Wakana's mother.
That french guy with a pig pet is weird, i would guess he's got something to do with those 2 musicians on the beach. Also after the keychain/strap on Sakai's bag he looked at her and said her hair and eyes match - probably another guy who knew her mother.
There's also the case with Wakana's supplementary lessons, just why does she have to attend so much of them?
Oh and Sawa is pure love. <3

I agree with your assessment of the song, etc...

The guy was Spanish, not French, btw. He was speaking Spanish, and from what someone on Crunchyroll said, the way he pronounced C's and Z's (as 'th' instead of 's') suggests he is actually from Spain and not Latin America... The style of guitar played by the guys in at the beach is definitely Spanish.

Wakana has to take supplementary lessons because she transferred from the music division to general ed, and there are different graduation requirements for the two. I am guessing that the music division skimps on some of the traditional education requirements, expecting the students to continue on either as musicians or to go to a music school, which will pay more attention to their accomplishments in music than to their core studies grades. Since she is now on track to graduate from the general ed program, she needs to catch up to her classmates in order to be competitive in terms of getting into college.

Oh, and yes, yes she is!

I can't tell if she's trying to say "have" or just taking a breath.
But anyways, why is Wakana so cute? I thought I'd like Konatsu more, but Wakana is my favorite right now.

Konatsu should really learn to accept that her brother has the same habbit as she has.

And "I don't money".that alone would have made this episode. I wonder how he is connected to her. As many said, he probably knew her mother or something, but then it can't be to close, otherwise he would simply visit them. On the other hand, he immediately recognized her, he even recognized that key chain.

I could imagine the last time they saw each other they had a serious argument, and he wants to ask Wakana, who he can actually talk to (theoretically..we saw how it went) about it, maybe use her as messenger or even mediator. Or her dad is the reason he doesn' visit them. We'll probably know it after next episode.

About Wien: It seems the new book Taichi helped a lot, it just didn't prepare him for this kind of situation. I don't think this is something such books usually cover, so it's okay ;)

Actually, I'm working on one right now. The temporary title is "Awkward Situations and how to deal with them, a guide for Men". From page 432:

Situation: you've walked into a friends room to discover a very attractive woman wearing only minimal, but visually interesting, underwear, drinking some sort of liquid straight out of a bottle. Do you:
a) Freeze and stare at her, mouth wide open
b) stammer some lame comment about the size of her assets
c) Recall your "best" pickup line and blurt it out, though honestly every time you use it you get slapped in the face
d) Quickly turn around, apologize and leave the room, making sure to not trip over anything on your way out.

Now I need to add "e) crouch, turn around and bunny hop out your way out as if it was the most natural thing in the world."

I expected Sawa to look about as good as she does. The one that surprised me was Konatsu:

She has serious curves! I didn't expect a DFC to have such a womanly looking shape. (But, then again, Taiga had excellent curves, despite her lack of breast size...)

You're killing me by that screen capture. She really does looks good on that swimsuit. Well, maybe I like small sized girl ... so I don't mind her size :3

The three girls run this show. I love how they interact with each other and each has their quirks.
Didn't really like Sakai that much in the first episode, but she's grown on me since then. Konatsu's an airhead, but she obviously has a more deviant side to her (blackmail!) and easily my favourite of the three.

The boys might as well not exist. They are so bland.

The Italian guy was pretty funny too.

Also seems to be the same guys at the beachfront stall. And Konatsu mentioned that the song they picked for their first recital as sounding like something by the Condor Queen's - iirc, she described it as "nostalgic." Hmm...

Zero promise... come on P.A. Works.

"I have no money." Racist bitty logic, because people with nice clothes and a pet pig are usually after money. The crowd gathering at the end made a cheesy episode all the cheesier. When the only memorable moment of an episode is a pig sprinting, you're doing something wrong (regardless of how awesome the pig sprinting was).

RIP Hanasaku Iroha

He was speaking Spanish, but I can see how he looks sort of Italian. I think he looks Mexican, but I'm assuming he's going to be Spanish. Not that it really matters, haha.

I've walked in on people changing and/or something similar a few times (sometimes my housemate wouldn't know I'm home and she'd come downstairs in a bra or the like) and my go to reaction is to say "Nice." and then calmly turn around and walk out.

Racist bitty logic?
I see it more as her thinking the man wants money because he fixed her bicycle chain.


I'm surprised I like this as much as I do and i'm not the biggest fan of cute girls doing cute things.

I like the mood of this whereas I couldn't get past 2 episodes of Hanasaku Iroha.
To me that show carried a somewhat unpleasant and sour undertone I just couldn't get into.

I though I knew it but now it comes to mind seeing it a second time that the cafe was indeed to pay up the price. It was only after that price paying that Sakai realized that the deal was respected so it was worth for her to fight for the club. Honesty pays up.

Classic internet guy argument. Shows that are just for fun don't get a free pass, positive language makes positive changes. It's not cool when shows have blatant gay stereotyping either, like Chocolate or Haiyore to use two recent examples.

Alright, just completed my 2nd re-watch, I think more of these points will be released in E04 (spoilers):



---

Seriously, there're so many drama points in this story if you trying to find it. I heard that a lot of you guys said that P.A. works are bad at the storyline. It might be changed this time ...

(BTW, 13 episodes only? I think it's too short. However, I guessed it's better than having too many episodes which are stretched out. However, going at this paced with so many details like this makes me feel like it's so packed, and they can be easily expanded to cover more backgrounds.)

I dont think it will turn romance either, but some sparkles are definitely needed.
That said, its way too early to ship anything.

The show badly needs support characters as well, else I feel it will soon get boring.
