Woot!

This show gets me hyped up, that dirty little teacher fool. In the beginning I didn't think he was going to be the one who would take the initiative. I was really enjoying the past episodes, they get me to think about it all the time. Loving it.

Oh and when Chizu said "Sensei, I'm on my way." in the preview, I immediately thought she must have killed the ****** for what he did which then caused some kind of trauma leading to how Chizu acts nowadays. Maybe I gave the last part of the previous sentence too much thought though.

Wow that teacher is such a sleazel. Messing with Chizu, having another relationship on the side, and on top of that exploiting her like that. While I did feel sorry for Chizu's situation I couldn't help but shake my head when she was sweet talked after finding out the truth of what her teacher did. Seeing her sister towards the end looks like it's the event that pushes her over the edge though. Considering the next episode is called Vengeance I can't see it ending well.

me says it again... brilliant~

Every one of the pilots so far has had an unike background that affects their personality... and the show is aproaching society concepts and problems... and does not fear to show violence (both physical and psychological). And like cyruz said, makes you think all the time... It's reminding me a lot of Kino no Tabi.

And about that teacher... well I'm not even gonna start on him.. I just hope he get's what's coming to him soon.

And bokurano is righ behind claymore on my favourite shows of the season now.
hope the next ep comes soon. ^^

Older guy abusing his power as a teacher and taking advantage of the feelings of a young, innocent girl. And two-timing her with her own sister too! What a beast! It's real interesting learning about the pasts and backgrounds of the characters so far. I don't remember much about the first guy, but the last three have some intriguing circumstances.

The one thing I have to say about this series is it's ****** up something major. I love it, however :D Intricate, well thought out and not afraid to "go there" with its subjects. This could be a masterpiece.

Although it provided some nice characterization, the relationship between Chizu and her teacher just wasn't working for me; glad to see that it looks like he'll be meeting his end in the next episode though.

Beautiful episode, I felt so much sympathy for Chizu back there.. Perfect timing for a flashback, that's actually rare for me to see an anime using flashbacks beautifully.. Unlike that flashback crap you see in Naruto sometimes.. (My deepest apologies..)

Wonder how she handles Zearth..

I knew that twist was coming, but something in me kept saying "it's not gonna happen, bro". I don't feel bad for Chizu. She took the typical "dumb girl" move and decided to not tell anyone about the teacher's decision.

Gotta love Bokurano.

So she actually was fucking the teacher...and apparently he was also fucking her sister.

Pretty messed up, I guess that explains why she comes off so cold. At the end, it was almost as if she welcomed death. Can't wait to see how her battle with play out.

Interesting to see comments from 4 years ago, when this series first aired :) It's really held up well! I think it's approaching Masterpiece territory if it hasn't crossed over it already. So Chizu was not only fucking the teacher but getting posted on the 'net (how retarded is that? You're so gonna get busted doin shit like that), and the guy was also sleeping with her onee-san. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the teach had fondled onee-san when she was in middle school and then they plotted together to 'break her in'. That could just be the doujin in my head tho ...

Still have to shake my head at the dude's horniness tho. From the way she was walking when she ran into her big sister I have a feeling he gave her a quickie before sending her on her way, and then immediately turned around and did it with her sister. I bet his only wish was that he could have them at the same time.

Dude's a total sleezeball despite being good at putting the moves on lolis. I have a feeling he'll be getting a Nice Boat ending next episode, and since IIRC there's an alien tearing up downtown during this whole flashback sequence, it'll have to either be in the mech or the end of the flashback. He'll probably get crushed like fake-glasses' dad or maybe impaled on one of Zearth's spike-arms.

No spoilers cuz it's speculation and the BBC's broken at the moment anyhoo.

Decent episode. That teacher is a slime-ball. Poor girl. Why on Earth would you post pictures of you molesting one of your underage students, though? What an idiot!

Animation quality took a hit this episode, though. The animation when she was ripping through his bookshelf was rough, especially.

Definitely the weakest episode so far, especially when you compare it to the manga.

It really seems like the show is sanitizing some of the characters for fear of alienating or upsetting the audience. I'm usually not one to make a big deal out of details being lost in an adaptation, but in this case I think they're doing a disservice to the characters. For instance, Chizuru inadvertently causing Kako to die instead of cutting his throat when she sees that he's incapable of fighting, and the drastic changes to her relationship with the teacher (they cut the blackmail and her plan to kill him and then herself, among other things). It's just watering down the characters a bit too much for my taste.

And the animation was just awful. This show isn't the type that needs smooth, detailed animation, but when it gets to the point that it's distractingly bad in almost every single scene, then it's a serious problem.

I noticed people on this site are always really bitchy about stylistic animation changes. The part where she rips down the books had a bad framerate. That was because there were dozens of books they had to animate moving in a realistic fashion each frame, they didn't have all the time in the world to do so.

Anyways, keep in mind she was 12 to 13 at the time.

I felt no pity for her. I have to disagree with many of the posters in this thread who have said things like "the things that poor child went through". She deliberately put herself directly into that situation, she chose to have sex with the teacher, she chose not to tell anyone about it, and then when she learns that he secretly taped them having sex and then uploaded it to the internet, she chose to forgive him. That's all completely her fault, she's an idiot who set herself up for failure. I hate her, for all of the reasons I mentioned in the previous episode discussion thread, and for all of these new reasons as well. I can't wait until she dies next episode (I'm assuming it will be next episode).
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

It's interesting how we find out about the past of the protagonist as we advance through the show... it makes it feel real, the characters are not plain, they act for a reason. You can say you hate one character, but also can find out why they act that way. In this case, I don't like Chizu at all, but understanding her side of the story is really thought provoking.

And as another person said, it's cool to read the comments when this series was first aired. It's been a lot of time, right? But I'm sure next year and the next one a bunch of people will watch this... and it's gonna feel the same... it's cool :)

Anyone who says that anime can't handle mature content clearly hasn't seen this show. The surprises seriously keep piling up. I wondered why Chizu was so cold and now I see why. That nasty perv of a teacher totally seduced, exploited and cheated on her all at the same time. Of course she is not blameless in her situation but man, that's a lot for one kid to handle. Gonna be sad to see her go

Interesting episode. I don't fully agree that the handling of this "mature" issue was mature in itself, but given that there's very little time to develop individual characters I found this kind of smut quite satisfying. I mean what's a better back story than something like a traumatic experience from the past?

I figured we get the back story of Chizu, and since it was already hinted about a teacher I kinda figured that was what we were going to see. However, I did not expect to see it take that kind of a twist. Yea, big surprise.

Animation in this a bit lower quality, but overall it's good to see a different style.

So in this episode, we get to understand Chizu's past. She seems to have something with her family; maybe they're poor and she just doesn't understand their situation? She also doesn't want to be ''like her sister''.

When the teacher stood by her on her decision was the moment she fell for him. She had never have anyone to back her up and when someone finally came, she glued on him. He noticed, of course, and then took advantage of it.
When they were walking together on the first day, I think he had already planned it. Chizu wanted to amaze the teacher too: he said he didn't make food, she said she could cook (even though we later learn she hardly ever cooks), he pretended he didn't believe and then, she said she'd do some for him. Perfect fit.

Chizuru was 12-13 at the time, like RediceRyan said. You don't know anything about world that age. Actually, romance feels like fairytails. When Chizu learned about the tapes and the internet she was certainly angry, but she was probably also very sad. She did love the teacher, and when he asked for forgiveness, she felt torn between her choices but in the end she decided to believe him.

And when she say her sister go in the teacher's house, she finally understood who he was.

Interesting fact: The teacher said ''who cares how society views us if we love each other?'' but he didn't let her hold his hand. Who cares indeed.

Also, Kako appears as the ''boy who likes girl but bullies her to show he likes her'' stereotype. It's nice how Chizu reacts.
