THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I just saw this RAW. Oh boy....one thing is the crazy ending! I am going to skip to highlights until subs are out.

-Super block of the maids was a life saver!

-Fan service of Haruka was good for once! I think the better is the intense moment in the booth at the cosplay shop.

-Haruka's Mom SUPER PUNCH really made father KO! O_O scary women!

-More relationship development with Yuuto and Haruka

-Seems there is going to be cosplay cafe like in ToLoveRU #22 so that will interesting.

-LOL at cell pic of Mika. Obvious we know she is more ecchi than Haruka.

-I love the Aki-chan music box!

-The ending sucks of this episode...SHIINA I AM PISSED OFF AT YOU NOW! I said it before should something happen to make Haruka and Yuuto relation go bad that is what happened. I with seriousness voice out that what Yuuto did was stupid but Shiina was the one that dragged him into it most likely.
Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me.

i dont like the ending,too , it was kinda predictable. it seems that haruka gets the situation, so it would be interesting to see how yuuto will try to explain it to haruka.
but actually i would prefer haruka and yuuto working for the school festival, and not only focus them having a date.

The scene in the dressing room was.... w/e.

Haruka's mom is awesome; I love how she deals with her husband :)

The ending was kind of a shocker, but if you think about it, I guess it was kind of predictable. I mean, I believe every story that has a love triangle or something like that must have a scene like the one in this ending.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

A tiny bit predictable but I enjoyed the episode. It's good to see how considerate Yuuto is. I didn't expect that little present.

We all knew things were going way too well between the two. Well, I guess it wouldn't be a romance show without misunderstandings and jealousy. Still an alright episode. Now expecting some drama.

1. Nogizaka's mom still kicks ass.
2. The oh so classic "It's not what it looks like." scene. I wish some guy would mix it up and actually be doing it INTENTIONALLY...oh wait that's school days >.>.

If it turns out that Yuuto tripped and fell on top of Shiina, then I'm good at guessing these kind of things.

I have to give the animators props for that ending scene, it would probably fool most people into thinking this wasn't an accident, looked that way to me. Of course it was an accident, a misunderstanding or whatever and the next episode will deal with the aftermath and then by the last episode Yuuto and Haruka will love each other.

Man, I should start writing manga or something, it's so easy :P

The plot twist was very predictable. The tension in the episode was way too easily resolved, and the plot looked done way too early, so they were telegraphing their moves in advance.

The character of Haruka could go a number of ways in the next episode. She's emotional enough to just blank out and cry, but that would probably make it too easy for Yuuto to gain forgiveness. The really cliche move would be for her to run away before either Yuuto or Shiina can explain. If the writers pull that trick then they really have no ideas.

What would be less cliched would be for Haruka to take the initiative and say something articulate and decisive, like, "Yuuto, I changed my mind, I *don't* want to folk dance with you."

Ironically, the same voice actress does Enma Ai and Nogizaka Haruka, so maybe the dad is afraid the mom will pull out a little straw curse-doll with a red ribbon...

It would be beyond weird to have Haruka suddenly start talking like Enma Ai... "Pitiful spirit, too long have your actions caused others suffering..."

You didn't even need to guess, look in front of them. Theres a spilled paint can/cup. Clearly one of them tripped into the other and ended up in the position they where in when Haruka showed up. Now we're probably gonna have an episode where shes pissed at Yuuto and avoids him. Then at some point he will show up and explain what really happened and they will be all happy again.

I loved the episode, but you are so correct. I think this will be resolved within the first 10 minutes of the next episode and we'll be back to our typical cuteness. But yes, this was seen a mile away.

Shiina is in the opening credits, getting one-third of the screen space. What else could she be but the third corner of a love triangle?

... Well, she could be a giant robot pilot, but not in this series.

Wow! That was a predictable ending and it's pretty obvious from the situation that it will be explained to be a complete misunderstanding. This anime has really lost the flair it had earlier on and I'm surprised that Yuuto hasn't confessed to Haruka yet because they obviously know their feelings for one another. I just hope it happens next episode. ^_^

Fourth time, actually. :|

Stop hating Shiina, original poster person who I forget who is~. T.T My poor Shiina is innocent. Innocent!

Thinking, though, that even if it -was- a trip (probable), they'd been like that for a bit. Haruka didn't hear a thing as she dashed down the hall, after all. They made very clear that the only sound was her footsteps. I want to get the full story on the situation.

i knew it, that something happens, cause Haruka was soooo happy since she had a date with him and so... it was not so suprising.

But for me, it dont looks like an accident for me. Cause he dont lie on her and had his hand to long on her breast. xD

Lets not forget that she is also Nina Fortner/Anna Liebheart, twin sister of a monster

gah, people hate shiina way too much. HATERS! (coming from a person who hates nagisa to death.... its perfect :P)
the episode was overly moe.
lol @ nobunaga proposing the idea after failing in his class xD
shiina was also pretty CUTE this episode. take that shiina haters.
lol @ mika and the maids on making a haruka x yuuto operation xD
i loved it when hazuki said "erosu" xD
the date was cute too
haruka in her costume = thats the highest moe level i have seen in a year. god, she even had a zettai ryouikki... ARGHHH... that is too moe.
why does nobunaga always appear when nogizaka is with yuuto in some anime related place xD
the scene after that was priceless though xD
now that is umm..... i think the animators were watching too much hentai the day before drawing that scene.
gift was cute
nogizaka's mother's KO-ing punch was supreme.
her understanding haruka's and yuuto's feelings just makes her more awesome.
haruka and ponytail is love
misunderstanding is kinda cliche, but then again, we all need this in the anime to make it go round.
then again, i wonder if it was really a misunderstanding.... yuuto looked pretty comfortable there holding shina's breasts xD i gotta say though, i can't blame yuuto.
i wonder how this is going to get solved, or if this anime is taking a 180 degree turn to shiina's benefit.

The ending really was predictable. Right when Nogizaka ran around with her delicious cookies, I knew that a sexx0r-like-scene with Shiina awaited me.
Not that it bothers me too much though. I prefer Shiina over Nogizaka. :D
So it was some nice fan service for me.

I loved everything in this episode with the exception of the ending. The second Haruka started running through the school I was hoping "fuck, she had better not walk into the room and witness bad timing". It must have been the lighting.

I wish Shiina could play a role in the series that isn't obligatory-relationship-progression-inhibitor.

There is a theory about how the end can gewt solved should Shiina screw around with Nogizaka....send hellhound to snipe her...think if it as "School Days" brutal reality. O_O now would freak me out suddenly!
