| I dont think hate against Kawashima is warranted here because she was goading Midorin in order to help Ryuugi. She wanted to Midorin to admit that she actually liked Ryuugi because it was pissing her off how she was pretending not to. And while Kawashima does like Ryuugi at the end of the day she settles to be his friend and thats why she gets into an argument. |
 |
| Finally... Ryuuji found out about Taiga's feeling for him. |
 |
| Damn.. amazing episode. So many emotions came out this episode. |

| What a great episode!! Especially that ending!!! And so everything finally comes to a boil; it’s clear that all of the confrontations were caused by misunderstandings: Misunderstanding – Misunderstanding – Misunderstanding - Misunderstanding - During their conversation , Ami x Minori, at first,I had thought that Ami kept pushing deeper into the issue of Minori denying Ryuujii’s confession because she wanted to help Ryuuji by finding out what Minori’s true feelings were, but I really think she did that for herself. If Ami could hear how Minori feels, she would be able to move forward herself when it came to her own emotions. 1) If Minori had said “yes”, Ami would move on and accept that. 2) If Minori had said ‘”no”, - then the “father and mother relationship” Minori and Ryuuji have with Taiga would fall apart because the only thing keeping that relationship going was that Taiga needed Ryuuji more than she did, which is why the “F/M relationship” started in the first place. Ami would have a clear scope on things and act on her feelings for Ryuuji.[/i] BUT SHE DIDN’T, and all Ami did was make things worse for herself and Ryuuji, with her constant “guilty” comments and demeanor, which she apologizes to Ryuuji for. She calls Ryuuji an idiot because he doesn’t understand his or other people’s feelings and then herself an idiot because all the while that she asks Minori why she keeps “pretending” and telling her that she is a good “pretender”, she realizes that she is no better than Minori, emotions and all. The fight does nothing more than act as a release for the both of them. Minori knows that Ami is jealous of her and wants Ami to back off and leave it alone, while Ami wants to knows what’s really going on and for Minori to stop being a horrible person |

I especially like your insights into Ami's point of view, which is probably the least-explored of the series leads. There's one thing you mentioned in your analysis of Ami that ties perfectly into a later scene with her, I think in episode 24. You'll know what I mean when you get there. One thing to keep in mind in regards to: mushroomlight34 said: Misunderstanding – Is that |

| It happened uh... I loved the fights, the verbal one and physical one. As for the ending... not quite. |
| Oh snap, that girl fight was intense. Taiga/Kanou fight got nothing on Ami/Minorin! If this were reality, Taiga would probably be dead from hypothermia. :/ |
 |
| This show sucks because Ami isn't winning |
   |
| Omfg another episode that made me cry, this is way too good or I´m just getting too sensitive. |
 |
| Damn that fight was nice. I expected things to blow over like that, but I was really surprised it became a brawl. They all like Ryuuji, I think that is a fact. Ami doesn't like however that Kushieda is indecisive about her love, or holds back. I can understand shes pissed because she is jealous. Likewise Kushieda doesn't want to push the issue because of Taiga. Finally Taiga doesn't want to love Ryuuji because she thinks he like Kushieda. 4 more episodes, things are gonna explode soon. |
 |
| Lol, didn't think Ami would go that far. I don't dislike Minori, she appears to be sympathetic, but her instability and hesistation is what ruins everything for everyone. zdude18 said: This show sucks because Ami isn't winning +1 |

| wow theyre all dumb fucks. when someone just disappears from the group like that, you dont just go back to the ski lodge and say "o well, she'll come back later" and how did you all not notice the part of the fence that was twisted above the skid marks? After being unconscious in a blizzard all night, Taiga definitely should have died of hypothermia. anyway, i wanted to cry when i saw that taiga had given the hair clip to minori without her even knowing it was really from takasu |
~my list
| caaaat fiiiight. I am almost sure this will be a Taiga ending by now :/ |
 |
| best episode for a while now; there was a whole whirlwind of feelings this episode. Ryuuji x Taiga end starts now (unfortunately). |

Mechr0mancer said: I really kinda respect Ami now, she was being a bit of a bitch but she said what everyone else was afraid to say. And Taiga, man she is awesome You aint lyin. Ami got tired of all the bullshittin and acting, cant be mad at that lol. She gave Minori a lil more of that work than I thought she would but it was pretty much a stalemate. |
 |
| Now, it would be ignorant of me to say I enjoyed the fades but... I aint gon lie...lmao. Though its a shame to see such pretty faces get bruised and whatnot, shit gotta happen sometimes lol. |
|
| Sasuga Ami! It was really great to watch her how she intentionally push other into situations where they would show their true feelings. Of course she knew about the others in the wardrobe. And she was acting great to show herself as good one when telling Takasu about their little quarrel with Kushieda. Even when she provoked Kushieda again, it was with clear intention of showing her emotions to Takasu. But she just lost it in the end. I guess anyone would get angry in that situation. Cause Kushieda is lying and downplaying everything all the time it's almost her second nature. Or maybe I should say she is lying so long it's too hard to actually tell the truth now. She is lying so skillfully she even managed to convince herself. I was expecting many things from this episode this was very pleasant surprise. But yeah, it was kinda obvious there would be some accident just in the moment when Takasu would get too close to serious talk about his love with Kushieda. And now truth is out finally. Wonder if it would be so easy for Ryuuji to change his feelings (but yeah, he's already shifting from Kushieda to Taiga from the very beginning). |
| Ryuuji X Taiga all the way |
| What a great episode, can't believe she confessed to Ruuji unknowingly xD |
 |
| uhhh damn im really not feeling the taiga x ryuji pairing really wanted minorin to win but its not looking very likely at this point |
| That Ami v Minori fight was simmering until it finally boiled over. That confession at the end too, whew |
| Ami is the best..i wish there is a ova with her and ryouji...she was alright and fighting minorin and beating her ass was the best since episode 1..this little bitch doesnt show her true feelings and she is acting al dumb..teach her a lesson beautiful |
 |
| When I saw the preview on the previous episode I thought this one is going to be a filler full of some fun slice of life with no plot progress, how wrong I was. |

| For fucks sake these plot twists smh. |
 |
| Again with this cheap violence? im afraid im not enough of an edgelord to enjoy this kind of content. |
The episode was both funny as hell and serious! And in the end Taiga talked more than she should have! Wow Ryuuji, you are such a player! You have 3 cuties crazy for you! PD: Let's talk about how Taiga survived all those hours in such weather, such low temperatures, while unconscious.... wow. |
| SHE FINALLY SAID IT |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| I almost liked this episode. Getting to see a cat fight and Taiga getting lost in a blizzard, fun stuff. |
 |
| Stupid Ami and Minori put Taiga in big danger, but all is good, she told Ryuuji that she loves him, finally, things have to get better now. |
 |
| So Taiga was basically at the spot were she dissappeared and yet people could not find her? That was kinda stupid... Otherwise, great episode. |
| So this episode should be called 'Stuff we weren't supposed to have heard' xd... So much drama, this trip will make a great high school memory lol |
