Lol Tooru in a nutshell.

Pretty chill episode. Despite some of the tension, I thought it was more of a relaxing episode with the delicious food; at least for the first half anyways. Tachibana seems to have a bit of insecurity so she should try to get over that soon.

Tooru's reactions were pretty priceless. Lol, trying to trick kids

Meh episode. Wasn't expecting much. Did enjoy Yukimura's defiance against Mattsun. Same as usual for the hosptial trio.

I thought it was interesting that they showed glimpses of the new character. Didn't see the guy in the OP, so I thought they weren't going to introduce him. But with only a few episodes left...second season possibly? For those of you who are familiar with the manga.

This show is what I expected it to be really. It's not the adaptation, they are really following the manga page by page word by word, and the voice acting is superb. This is primarily a comedic series, and I think people should watch it solely for the purpose of comedy. Unless, the author did intend to deliver full on drama....that's a different stort. But anyway, just enjoy the comedy.

Oh my.. This show continues to accelerate in Stupidometer by each episode. If what Yukimura said were the reasons Masamune kicked Hotaru out of the team; by the same logic, people that grew to love anime should stop watching immediately, because there are a crap ton of bad shows that can make them hate anime altogether. Does that really make any sense to anybody? I don't think so..

Well, even if there wasn't any clear reason to take Hotaru out of the team, the only thing it did was to create cheap and unnecessary drama. Yukimura trying to fix the situation didn't really help.

Also, what was Hotaru thinking attacking Midori out of the blue? Did she think it'd solve all the problems? Like the F!

welp she still hasn't told them she's a girl
Still, awesome episode.
Yukki was adorable as usual.
Didn't really expect Hotaru to go hang out with Midori and Fujimon, don't mind though because Fujimon is awesome and Midori wasn't too bad this ep.
Two new characters introduced, that maid and the guy in the hoodie.

Kawaii.


Glad Yukimura gave Mattsun a well-deserved punch/slap. I don't see why he felt the need to lie to Hotaru and kick her out of the team. Talking things out would have been so much better. Any misunderstanding could have been avoided.


I assume this is that guy who was part of their team before. Curious to see why he left.

I had a good laugh at Hotaru and Mattsun throwing away Yukimura's precious yet censored treasures.

I really liked how Yukimura is standing up for his beliefs and supporting Hotaru. Hotaru and Yukimura's is probably the best developed relationship in the entire anime.

Midori is an outright sadist, getting pleasure from a trembling little girl. I can't agree with how he uses his partner either. Then again, he IS the smartest and most cunning character. I kinda wish Hotaru would take him down, but it probably won't happen in this season.

I like how they subtly showed a new guy behind the newspaper. Wonder how he's related to Toy Gun Gun?

This episode was enjoyable, even with its slow pace and some unnecessary drama. Even so, I was REALLY FRUSTRATED since I thought Hotaru would tell at least Yukimura about her gender! The only hope she has is 1) becoming transgender 2) joining Midori's team 3) Mattsun snaps out of his stupidity for once

Anyways, I'm excited for next week. There probably won't be a drastic plot shift to where they go back to TGC, but I do want to see Hotaru improve.

Well I was hoping Tachibana would tell them her secret in this episode but that didn't happen.

Some drama is emerging with Tachibana being kicked out of Toy Gun Gun (I feel like this whole scenario isn't really necessary).

Not entirely sure why Tachibana thought randomly going after Midori's head would solve any problems, but that little exchange got me to chuckle a little bit.

And I'm sure, without a doubt, that the hoodie guy with the newspaper in the maid cafe was the previous member of TGG. There's no way some random, insignificant character would react that way at the mentioning of TGG.

That was quite a dramatic episode...Matsuoka needs to get his shit together tho

Props to Yukimura for doing what he did because Hotaru didn't deserve that but in kinda annoyed by the fact that she didn't confess to being a girl -_-

Episodes like these makes it really hard for me to dislike Midori lol, the guy is just so likeable xD That shot scene and his interaction with that maid was great

Next episode is looking to be pretty interesting but I wonder who the guy in the hoody was because they wouldn't have shown him in such detail if he wasn't going to be important I think....

Funny, that mysterious guy was reading his newspaper upside-down. LOL!

Hotaru has to TELL THEM ALREADY that she's a girl!! They keep on dragging this on! She preaches about justice, but it's all hypocrisy since she's not doing the "just" thing of telling her friends the truth.

I'm liking Midori and the white hair guy's character a lot!

When an episode starts with "today I'm finally going to tell them I'm a girl", that's when you know with 100% certainty that she won't

Also if she did that it'd actually advance the plot in the right direction, so there's no way that could ever happen since this anime is very stubborn about having to continue to suck

This episode was good. Loved the way tachibbana wanted to to fight midori san. Looking past the fact that in my opinion this anime has way way tooo much drama, It entertained me a lot. I still love this show. And I still love yukimura san.

Another chance for Hotaru to confess about her gender identity and it slips by once again, no surprise there guys if you follow the never ending trend. Matsuoka kicking Hotaru out of the team really portrays his overall weakness as he simply tries to do everything on his own without relying on the likes of Yukimura.
Hotaru running off to Midori is just another sign of desperation, well not that it could be helped anyway.
All credit goes to Sacred.

Tachibana is still being a cowardly pussy. There's never gonna be a "right time" to tell them, so just FRIGGIN TELL THEM! DO IT! For gods sake JUST DO IT!!!!! This girl pisses me off to no end with her hypocrisy. And whats this bullshit about taking Midori's head to solve all her problems? How the hell was she elected to be a Student Council President with such lousy common sense?

The way Masamune handled things made her think that the reason she got kicked out was because she was weak, so she thinks that defeating the team they lost to would make him realise she is strong enough to be part of Toy Gun Gun.

Soooo~! I'm definitely not the only one who thinks the hooded guy is the ex-Toy Gun Gun member, right? The one in Mattsun's flashback?

I found this episode a little on the slow side during the whole hotpot ordeal. At this rate, I'm almost certain that Hotaru won't come clean about her identity until the last episode.

Oh, well! Can't wait to see how the Toy Gun Gun history unravels!

I'm seriously confused here. Idk what the hell was going on in Mattsun's head. Hotaru gave him a reason exactly why she wants to stay in the team and continue play survival games with both of them & he says to her to quit. Da-fuq.
He was acting strange from the start. I really didn't like it. He was taking glances to Hotaru and kept interrupting her when she was about to spit the important thing.
This is an assumption but I think Mattsun has noticed that Hotaru is a girl and he doesn't want to say anything. And that makes me angry tbh. I hate if he knows but hides it. >.<
Ahhh it was a first time Yukki has opposed Mattsun. Damn, the boy had guts to do so.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He was so cute throughout the ep, omg such fluffy teddy-bear he is, I wanna squeeze 'im so tight! <3
I love that he cares about Hotaru. I think he feels comfortable with her. I so love their friendship :') <3

I'm guessing that hoodie guy was an ex-member and the "girl" that was in the Toy Gun Gun group.

When is Tachibana going to tell them!? Even Tamaki knew that Haruhi was a girl in the first episode. Dragging this longer just makes it dumber. Hello, even Midori knew she was a girl.

Midori tried to woo (not really) Tachibana but she reacted flatly.

Yukki gained some serious points in this ep. He even was something I never thought I'd admit: Cute!! >w< I like how he stood up to Masamune too, (so cute at the end, dang it Yukki) though I wonder how Mattsun will feel about his best friend standing up to him like that... he's been one of my favorite characters, so hopefully he'll snap out of it soon.

And LOL at Hotaru's solution to her problem: I'll have Midori's head for this! XD Fujimon is so cute tho(I love that strand of hair that sticks up), and it was so funny how he was trying to stop Hotaru from outright attacking Midori. XD At least put on your goggles first, girl. :P Also, so hilarious how they had to censor Yukki's room. X'D

As for the guy OBVIOUSLY spying(that newspaper lol):
I don't know his exact name, nor will I say here, but he obviously was NOT the GIRL that joined, he was someone who joined afterwards. Didn't Yukki and Mattsun mention an old team member who got obsessed with beating Hoshishiro, or something?

At least that's what I've figured so far, I wish someone would release more translated chapters of AxK. ;-;

I really want a season 2, despite certain things (Yukki's pervy-ness), I love this anime. :'D

And there is only 2 eps left I will cry of there is no season 2. ;_;

This needed more emotion and creativity, it was too predictable from the start and that 'sad' moment with Tachibana wasn't all that sad.
Well at least we'll see more of Midori-san in the next episode, love the guy. Probably the best character in this series.
