interactions between Etoile and Nagisa are sooo annoying! ugh. everytime she sees hers its a dramatic almost kiss and nagisa getting all glassy eyed. steups. I dont like Shizuma. if she doesnt want to do the duties for the post called Etoile then she shud just hand over the reigns to someone else

I thought it was a good episode, I think it is more then evident that Spica has an issue with Etoile. I do think that the scenes between Nagisa and Etoile are a bit dramatic, but it is still good onward to 4

hey this thing is actually better than I ever thought it would be - got me hooked! After watching 3 ep and reading all the stuffs u guys wrote about 'yuri yuri yuri...' I was expecting smthing of a seinen nature or smthing. U know like stuffs like Oh my Budha. But that's much much better. There's much character development, a seemingly intriguing setting and plotline so far seems to be developing contributing thus far to the overall success of having the viewers bonding to the characters. So far a good school romantic genre with a flair of slice-of-life flavour I'ld say. Better still - I'm loving it!

I'm starting to find Shizuma a bit annoying, she acts all arrogant and self-centred, yet she's worshipped at her school. I know it's a common character type, but it just seems strange that someone could get away with anything and still be popular. Not to mention that I've never seen a high school girl with half that confidence. She reminds me of Rei from Oniisama e... except that Rei was better written with definite reasons behind her actions. And regarding the relationship dynamic, maybe she's like Sachiko from Maria-sama, but she also had an interesting background, reasons for being aloof, and she never abused her power like Shizuma does, playing with other girls' feelings. Maybe if we get some back story for Shizuma I'll warm to her. Maybe.

Nagisa x Tamao, on the other hand, would be cute :)

People keep complaining that they don't like Shizuma because shes annoying and represented, but you people are missing something. That leaves HUGE area for character development. Don't judge your opinion on a character 3 episodes in when there are 26 episodes.

Nagisa finally resisted her gaze. I wonder what's up with Shizuma? She disappears every night.

One look from Shizuma and girls get weak on the knees or pass out. Convenient ability, I bet a lot of anime male MCs would love to have that.

Nagisa-chan's heart goes doki doki every time Shizuma stares at her with those eyes.

if I were to do that to another girl i'd get called creepy or a weirdo.

lucky bitch.

Shizuma was called chewed out. And I'm not sure if she acts the way she does, for the attention or for another reason. there's also this mystery person in the spare room. got a creepy feel about the next episode.

ROFL. Not sure you could pull it off, anyway - I think one kinda needs to be taller than the target! XD

Obvious flaw and motivation are obvious, or at least it seems so to me: Shizuma's flaw is that she can't even bear to think about duty when she's missing something hugely important to her (that is, she's a classic free spirit whose world is incomplete), and she's looking for one of those few people who actually can resist her charms, because conquering the helpless means nothing.

At the risk of repeating myself, Tomoe is Daidōji Tomoyo partially grown-up. But for some reason I don't like her as well as Tomoyo, at least not yet.

Also, this.

Focus Sash Nagisa manages to resists the Super Effective charm of Shizuma. I like Spica's uniform a bit more. Miator's makes the girls waist look very thin and I was never into dark uniforms.

That room sure has a mystery to it. It's left open, only one bed, and it gives off a dark aura.

Shizuma's becoming a little more likeable.

Tomao is an A+ friend. I liked seeing her make that sassy comment to Shizuma.

I dig this anime's OST, aside from the meh opening and bleh ending.

Why wouldn't they really apply someone else as Etoile?.. It's clear that both Shizuna herself and others would want this.. I mean, Shizuna running from being Etoile, not liking this role, and others not being able to hold meetings properly.. And ceremonies like greeting first years can't be hold.. Really, just apply someone else.. And really why hold her in position of Etoile, if she's not doing anything as Etoile.. Well, except still for some strange reason being charismatic in eyes of others..
Come on, that paralyzing charisma is getting old.. I mean, once or twice as a joke.. Alright.. But if it's all the content, why really Nagisa becomes weak with Shizuna.. Eh..
Damn, that room scene with closing window without showing person was so really creepy for some reason.. ;o
In the end.. It's good that it ended good in the end.. But really how was it functioning before, as it's not the first time Etoile didn't show at first years greeting.. If she's in 4th grade, was Shizuna an Etoile for at least 3 years then, and at least 3 years she's been constantly running and everything?.. Just why really keep her as Etoile.. Unless money or some relative with influence involved or something..

this is so bad im literally skim watching it 10x speed... why im watching anime in the first place. really, i should stick with adult life shoujo ai mangas.

episode is basically Shizuma again being irresponsible and trying to kiss rape main protagonist. i can't stand it.

Definitely ship Tamao and Nagisa. Tamao is just too cute when they said they're like newlyweds.

Shizuma needs to slow her roll, holy crap.

Good on Nagisa for getting her to come to the party.

Newlyweds Tamao and Nagisa. <3 That would be really cute if it were true.

Another nice and atmospheric episode. That one room is a little mysterious.

Kagome is so adorable with her teddy bear. :3

What a strange show. I really won't be pissed if nothing happens for 23 more episodes, but I do wonder if anything will actually happen. It'd be nice, but still enjoyable nonetheless

The first half of this episode really bored me tbh! I was kind of annoyed. But it got back to intriguing me with the interaction between Shizuma and Nagisa in front of the tree, they finally had some semblance of a conversation! And again they didn't kiss 😮‍💨 but at least this time it was more compelling! This solidifies for me that Shizuma is actually using some kind of "power" over Nagisa. And I liked seeing that Nagisa fought through it.

The very end with that empty room being tampered with was intriguing. I feel like it being Shizuma is too obvious of an answer but I really have no idea who it could be. Also they keep playing this eerie music in the background at some points that make it feel like the characters on screen don't realize something sinister is going on, so I'm guessing this is connected.

Yuri is the most beautiful and purest kind of love.

All the girls in this anime are so cute.

And i like these classic vibes, everything is so calm and aesthetic.

The visuals are still a bit bad, but the anime is good.

I remember watching this like 10 years ago, still holds up.
Pretty wholesome and very slow paced show, if not generic so far. Maybe it’ll get better?
