| i luv the part when Kei gets jealous..and was hoping to see more interesting development...but it went downhill with all that dramaticcss scenes!!...ridiculous.. 'meh' (<-- a must, as other quote this too), nevermind..keep continuing.. |
| Is that episode two diverge from the manga? This epiosde is okay, I guess. Hopefully, the next episode should be better. |
Iriya said: Ria said: and the "touching moment" between Hikari and Kei wasn't touching at all. It was corny and made me laugh. XD Totally agree. Episode was okay, didn't like how it was corny, but I think I'll be following this to the end too. And really, "Don't call me Miss Rank Two!" is getting old already D: They WAY over-dramatized that whole match. And Kei isn't supposed to be so damn over-protective yet. He is supposed to be some, but not to the point that he puts her on the ground and gets stomped on. I was so angry at that. And they just let it go on and on and on and on .... In the manga, he tells her he doesn't want her to participate. But once they get into the ring and they're cuffed, he pretty much uses her as a weapon (while cuffed) which was pretty cool. None of this melodrama and Hikari nearing tears crap. Great way to make two strong characters look very weak. Other than that, it was okay. But I'm going to bite somebody if they keep all this emo-ness up. For anyone one that likes manga, and hasn't read S.A. yet, I recommend that over this. |
| Agreeing with Kineta here. This episode was ridiculous. I didn't like how they executed it at all. The unnecessary and corny drama was painful to watch. I'm disappointed that all the anime watchers are turned off from S.A. when the original material is so much better. I guess something shoujo needs someone like Bones to do it (since Bones managed to make Ouran good, and I like S.A. more then Ouran!) Boo boo Gonzo. T.T I hope they do a better job with episode 3. If they can't do the humor right they should just stick to the more romantic aspects of this series. |
| I thought it was fine. A little corny but still enjoyable. I think the whole fighting scene with Kei was done better in the manga. *sigh* |
 |
| I forgot to mention, I thought the opening really sucked. *sighs* Can't they at least get a better opening.... T.T... I hate generic songs like that... |
| way too overdramatic for my taste.... the whole wrestling thing was just illogical and somehow stupid.. i mean, he has to protect hikari from getting hurt because he has handcuffs on... and the next second he suddenly has this powerful strength and breaks the handcuffs... i liked some of hikaris reactions... she is pretty cute, and i liked the part where she smiled, she looked cute there. in short... meh episode |

Crystal said: I forgot to mention, I thought the opening really sucked. *sighs* Can't they at least get a better opening.... T.T... I hate generic songs like that... Yeah I definitely have to agree with you there. The girls voice is so annoying and high pitched and just plain bad.. |
|
| No where near as entertaining as episode 1... the gags got old pretty fast Besides that... I'm still interested in this anime so i'll probably stick w/ it until midseason and then do an evaluation. |
| Ehhh. First episode > 2nd episode by a long shot. There was too much OH SNAP HIKARI I'LL PROTECT YOU and YAY TEAMWORK SAVES THE DAY shit. D: |
| No... just no... What is going on here, so much potential yet... |

Siing said: No... just no... What is going on here, so much potential yet... Yeah, I know what you mean. The manga is so good, it feels like they're just wasting it. |
|
| wtf? Kei made no sense at all in this episode. |
| Cheesy episode was cheesy. I'm about to drop this series. Meh |
| ehh it was ok.. yep the first ep was better |
 |
| Well, at least I'm not alone with thinking how bland this episode was. I don't think I let out so much as a giggle the entire time, and I wasn't feeling any love for the "romance" either (even though I like Kei and Hikari as a couple). So, fails on the comedy, fails on the fluffy romance (not to mention really fails on the generic seiyuu opening and ending songs) ... yeah, if this keeps up, I'll give up on the anime :/ |

| Jealous Kei = win in my book. I can't wait till next episode!! Its the cooking one! |
| 'twas okay, a bit too corny for my likeing tho |
| Love Psychological? Join Pyschological Love =D  |
| I do have to say though, Kei's eyes are weird! |
| i didnt like how they spent around 3min reintroducing the whole SA again.. bleh. the anime version is more entertaining than the manga version though. the manga version bored me for some reason. |
 |
windy said: Meh. |
 |
| like alot ppl said i think the first episode was better.-_- |
 |
| Lol at jealous Kei and throwing the book at president then accepts the match. Funny how clueless Hikari is when clearly the traps are aiming at her xD. Nice how the two won the match though (even though the opponents are clearly not students LOL). |
 |
| i've enjoyed watch this episode :D |

| I'm having trouble actually caring about any of the characters atm, because of the atmosphere and the way they introduced these larger than life characters =/ Might just not be my kinda anime, but we'll see. |
 |
| AHAHAHA THIS EPISODEMADE ME LAUGH AHAHA SO FUNNY IMMA DIE AHAHA |
| even thin people can wrestle? |
| This has to be one of the silliest things I've ever seen... the way it goes I'm beginning to doubt I'll manage to finish this series... |
| The did not deserve to win. the SA class is for the smartest students, and how smart can the student president be if he chose pro wrestling as a contest? Did he not read the script outline? |
 |
| Well I really really didn't like this episode, this think that Kei was so overprotective was a little over the top, the first episode was much better i hope the other will get better otherwise i don't think i can watch this series to the end |
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.  |
| It was alright. Kinda corny though. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Dear Lord, wtf was that >.< To say it was meh and corny would be an understatement. I sure hope it gets better in the next 2-3 episodes otherwise bye-bye. |
 |
| This anime start too early with the "serious love" thing... It would have been better if they used the first 2 episodes to build it up |
O'Hai :D |
| Well Kei acted a little out of character in the match. |
windy said: Meh. Yeah, it was a bit melodramatic. |
 |
| Lol pathetic president council XD Well, why don't he broke the handcuffs from the start ==" Well, a bit romance development I guess.. |
"Signature removed"   |
| Cute episode but still not my fav but it was still good regardless moving on to ep 3 now |
 |
| This was a pretty awful episode, the first half was fairly entertaining but the wrestling match was extreemely melodramatic and i didn't like it at all |
| It was kinda cheesy. That back stomping part was so melodramatic. As for the command, I hope he makes her suck his dick fucking shit Hurry up and butcher this show already with ur melodrama. |
| I like it when Kei goes into berserk mode because he is jealous of Hikari. |
 |
| Dat forced drama... It wasn't as good and funny as the first episode. The part where he was protecting her felt so unnatural since he's always saying that she's so strong and better than everyone except him... Kinda contradicting yourself here. I hope it doesn't fall into these easy cliche. It could have been funny if it had been pushed to the extreme, like if they were parodying soap drama, but that was awkwardly not the case. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| The part he got jealous is hilarious. But the forced drama is cringe as hell. |
 |
| I don't think that this show has much to offer. I am gonna put this on hold. And what an original drama between the hero and the heroine.(Sarcasm) |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| This show is rather fun I must say, it's a bit obnoxious though, the characters are just too loud and scream too much. Showing Hikari's face up-close was a surprise though, she's actually a real beauty. |
