lol @ Monk brother + two fellow monks (lol @ what heroine said, too, same thought) as intro. trio.

So it was to introduce them in this ep., as Monk brother inviting everyone to his religious festival, which is near one of the houses. Juri's been forgotten. lol @ Hikaru. Ehhh~~~ Fuuto is there for lie, too! EHHHH~~~ one of the monks is Ishida-san? Very deep saying from that another monk. Fuuto is pissed at what she is being honest. And visiting her parents' tombs.

Eh~~~ Hikaru keeps records of the arguments between the brothers.

Looks like Wataru gets more appearance next ep?. and monk brother as end card.

Why does Ishida's grandma voice have to ruin the episode fo me OTL
The end was kind of funny, well, until I heard Wataru's voice, that is. Although his face didn't look as bad this episode (but there were some times when Ema's lips looked strange. When they were in the car, for example).

There is no way I'm going to be convinced that Kaname and those other two guys are really monks. I'm sure they're hosts at a club with a temple theme.

I always felt that Fuuto was an ass, but a rapist too? Well, at least he didn't follow through with it...this time.

I really doubt fuuto was going to rape her, the most he'd do is kiss her. Anyway, I enjoyed this episode :D

A bit disappointed in this episode, especially with the almost-rape scene between The Lil' Shit and Ema. Even if it's not rape, he was trying to strip her... This kid's what, like 15? O_o

Junichi Suwabe Kaname's voice is hot as usual. Enjoyed that scene. At least it wasn't a lip on lip kiss.

I'm finally pulling my guilty pleasures past and noticing the shit failures this show has. The big question is mainly, what is so special about this girl that makes thirteen boys turn their heads around and go doki-doki? I still don't understand it. Maybe, Yuusuke likes that kind of girl, but for all thirteen? Hmm. Hmm.

I liked the little opening this time a lot. Poor Juli getting left behind. Maybe he can hang out with Yusuke. Ukyo, good job for using the frying pan on Kaname. Hikaru is my favorite brother now. And who are Natsume and Azusa trying to fool after such reactions to Hikaru’s questions? Gosh, Wataru after all that sugar, you should be glad that you only had to go to the bathroom that long. Ema got some advice from Kaname’s fellow monk and it looks like she plans to use it. Futo is still creepy as who knows what. I do have to wonder how Hikaru is doing the scoring for the Brothers Conflict though.
Seriously where is Iori though? There’s not giving characters the same amount of time, but he’s not even in the show.

No way. If he did, he would get so many more haters. Hikaru is officially my favorite character. I love how he is so objective about this and ohmygosh the car scene. >~< I felt that the art was a bit more sloppy in this episode at times....guess they put too much money on the fanservice for the last episode. XD

I agree with every single thing this person said. Seriously, where is Iori. He is literally nonexistent. He probably has exams or whatever which is why he couldn't go but honestly, he needs to appear more. I like Ema more in this episode. She is voicing her opinion more. Go Ema! The opening is original and I love it. I kind of went "awww~" when Kaname gave Ema a kiss. Probably because he didn't seem to act so much like his usual playboy persona.

Watched 3 episodes and read through all the episode discussion, so it seems like everyone's in love with her for some reason, and Fuuto is a lil' rapist, whew, not sure if I should continue with this anime. Not to mention

And that's not cool. Where is my Subaru? Man had so much potential and was pushed to the sideline. Tsubaki's charm is in his non-seriousness, so if he ever get serious, I don't think I'd like him as much as I did, and <Tsubaki><Azusa> is better as a duo, instead of individual. Natsume's cool, but if he also falls for the girl, then I am speechless.

One downside of harem/reverse harem is, how unrealistically easy can they make many people fall in love with one people in such a short time. They should put up the fantasy tag, because it's no where near realistic anymore.

Plot-wise, almost a year has passed in the series. She moved there sometime around September and this episode takes places sometime around July/August in the next following year so it is definitely isn't a short time. Though some brothers fall in love with her much faster than the others.

Didn't notice that, thanks for reminding. Still, if you're with your sister for a year, with the mindset of "she is my sister", you'd think that falling in love with her is almost impossible, unless they have "sister complex" in their core. Not to mention, she's weak, and have no personality, the perfect girl for "I want to protect her, like a sister" material. It's more realistic for those who fell for her earlier on, because they did not have the strong "she is my sister" mindset yet, just a random stranger that became their sister, later on those who fell for her was just for the plot (reverse harem).

The ones who seems really fall in love with her as a girl so far are:
1. Subaru, who never had much interaction with a girl before since he is focused on basketball.
2. Tsubaki, who has an imouto fetish.
3. Azusa, being Tsubaki twin he seems to share similar likes like his twin.
4. Yusuke, who already liked her since she is also his classmate before she became her stepsister
5. Futo is an actor and idol, who knows whether he is actually serious about her or just an act though it looks like he is somewhat serious about it based on this episode.

The other brothers are harder to see whether they actually liked her as a girl or not.
Hikaru only see her as interesting person who can cause conflict between his other brothers.
Louis definitely just see her as a sister.

And the rest? I guess they're in-between. They like her as a girl but not really serious as these five and they like her as a sister first rather than she is being a girl, though this status will probably changed in the next episodes.

That's why they're called "anime" ^_^ Usually, reverse harem female leads are very generic and in real life, you would wonder why so many guys are in love with her especially when all of them are so different...but alas, it's not real.

Lol at the beginning scene! Kaname and his monk co-workers, Ryuusei and Chiaki.

Subaru has a choice between basketball and Ema. Hopefully, he makes the right choice.

Kaname is making his move. And so is Fuuto, but he's going a little overboard.

Lol at Hikaru during that car scene. So he's actually keeping track of everyone's points with Brothers Conflict.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

I still find it surprising how many abuse and rape/nearly rape scenes with supposedly "good guys" animes have... If I'd want to oppress women, that's the way I'd do it.

And how they are all up and awake, but sitting around the table to wait until she comes and makes them breakfast. WTF?

It could work if the girl had some kind of character/personality. But otome game girls are mainly just... stupid.

My problem with otome game adaptions is always that I stick around too long and then think "oh well, just a few more episodes anyway".
But I have to say I really like the hairdresser character. And Natsume.

...and there goes that asshole trying to do things to her while she's sleeping.

I guess it's one of those animes that you really can't take seriously, but it's good for passing time? I doubt it has any rewatch value though.

Exactly what I am thinking though Hikaru is not my favorite brother but he is cool :D

That monk with the deep voice is awesome because what he said is really true.

There are so many wrong things in this Anime and I wouldn't bother to say it here because I am lazy. I'll just try to ignore it and enjoy this show :D

What they did in the end was sweet, letting Ema visit her parent's grave ^_^

Well, gotta sleep already because of school. I hope I can continue watching this show tomorrow.

A rather normal episode, and then Futo tries to do something to Ema in her sleep. His character is the one I'm most confused about.

The No.1 monk bestowed Ema with some advice that she's taken to heart and replicated when Subaru asked about his future. Nice stuff.
