THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Late introduction of the last main character, even when her appearance was very short.
This episode is all about photos, of course those love-sick people need them.
Taiga enters an interesting mode when it's about Kitamura xD
Every man would be considered as a creepy stalker if he acted like her.
Lol@ Sudoh-Bucks oO
Taiga fell in love directly after Kitamura confessed to her? WTF?
The parrot Inko-chan finally said a serious word, gratz^^

Am I too bad with names, or is the girl at the beginning that Kawashima Ami? I doubt it after I looked at her char profile... -.-

WTF!!!! Why the hell is the student council president a CHEAP LOOK A LIKE OF AMI! I hate shit ass confusion especially where it is not needed like in this anime. SHEESH! Anyways I HOPE AISAKA KICKS AMI'S ASS! I HATE FAKE ASS GIRLS WHO THINK BEHIND THEIR MINDS F*** ALL. I know top models (meat them, talked with them and THEY ARE PIECE OF SHITS THAT ARE FAKE......NONE HAVE 100% HONESTY) and since she is one of them that will piss me off during this season....I HOPE AISAKA shows her who is the boss really! #5 I want to see that!

.. The one standing infront of the school and shouting is not Ami. That is Sumire Kanou, she's the student council president. I kind of expected people to get them mixed up though, lolz. Ami is first introduced in episode 5 (the ep is named after her even), and you hear her say *one sentence* in the preview for episode 5.

I found the Sudoh Bucks to be quite amusing. And the one shot with where there was a close up of Taiga eating and Ryuuji telling her to eat first before speaking was cute.

But the episode itself, I felt had no direction, no real movement towards the over plot. What was the purpose of this episode? I mean, aren't we supposed to be seeing development between Taiga and Ryuuji? This is just them hanging out with nothing really happening besides possibly them spending more time together. If this was a slice of life type of show, I'd understand, but I feel that's not what this show is about.

Well, I didn't hate it this episode or love it. Just kind of went by. And yeah, if this episode served as an introduction for the blue haired chick, that was kind of lame.

I somewhat agree with vindemon64 but that's still pretty harsh IMHO. Despite of the emptiness, I still had great laughs from this episode. Then again, this episode reveals that Kitamura confessed to Taiga in the past. He's in fact still keeping a secret or two about Taiga. That's actually the 'love comedy' aspect you're looking for. Confusion thickens.

Also I was confused about Kanou. I thought... okay Ami isn't like anything as I pictured. >.>

Sudoh Bucks XD

Oh... I just remembered. In my recent discovery, I'm surprised Tanaka Rie is even in this anime and play as the opposite of her usual "soft-but-sharp" role. :P
I think she (the homeroom teacher) appeared on the first or second episode.

I thought so too at first. But after this episode, I'm thinking that this show could possibly end up with both Ryuji and Taiga ending up with their current love interest. It would be quite the breath of fresh air (seeing as pretty much every anime with this basic scenario ends with the two together). BTW, I haven't read the manga, so I don't know if I'm on the right track; but I'd rather find out for myself.

Inko-chan cracked me up this episode. XD

I liked this episode more than last week's -- definitely funnier (Taiga is fantastic in this ep), and the bits revealed about Taiga's past with Kitamura were interesting. Just the right amount of Minori, too, which is probably the only thing I didn't like about last week's episode (she can get kind of annoying in large doses).

Did we watch the same episode?

- We found out Taiga was asked out by the guy she likes but she rejected.
- We found out Taiga is a stalker.
- We found out Ryuuji and Taiga can communicate about personal things without fighting...well kind of.

I thought there was a lot of character development in this episode, less story development. Never the less there was still some kind of development in this ep.

She went from a tiger to a little kitten in one second!

Other than that, good episode. This show has a very different twist on the usual comedy/romance shows and I like it, a lot.

I think (and maybe this is just wishful thinking) that Taiga stopped at a picture of Ryuuji. Dunno how he was in a picture unless he was in a blurry photo with Kitamura that she took, so I could be way off...but I wanna interpret it as that.

No, she stopped because she came to the realization that she couldn't choose any one picture. She has lots of them but none that she actually likes. What she wanted most was a picture of Kitamura of when he confessed to her. His expression was what made her fall in love with him because he saw her for who she was.

Have you read the novel/manga already?

If not, then how do you know she is a "fake" person just from the preview? Seriously, stop overanalyzing it with this warped perception of yours. (And no, I don't care if you "perceive things differently" like you say all the time. Everybody perceives things differently. You're not special.)

If you did read the novel/manga, then stop talking about the characters we haven't seen and stuff. You're spoiling it for other people.

Actually I read some profiles about Ami from people who read the novel so I am not wrong if I did that. Right? Unless you are ready to say most of those people are wrong.

Perfectly well done for a comedy/romance anime, much much better than most shows in its style. not enough Kushieda in this episode though, but the characters are still developping and direction is still insanely good.

Then you should clarify that before you go on a completely unnecessary tirade about how you hate models cause frankly, I don't think people really need to know that you hate models, practice magic, get bad vibes from bisexuals, or had bad experiences with women.
