THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Incredible continuation of explanations about the last events! Absolutely brilliant! Writing this after a big party with wine (friend turned 18). Ok the beginning was completely not expected....Mass Media showing everywhere Ogata Eiji...something about a scandal/another scandal of Menou lipsynch. Some police came to arrest Eiji and the hidden studio. Frank talked for first time and I have to say I like his serious voice. Misaki also at the same time released that story of Menou. Looks like the media are pushing things with Eiji by including the scandal of Rina that was covered up with the cigarette buying. Guess Tamaru was not too happy with Hiragii's methods nor with Misaki from how he reacted. Evaluation was rude to Yuka to cut her off earlier than she finished her show ( found it was nice how they inserted the song to show Kanzaki thinking about the past of her daughters). Rina was singing so nicely Natsuko's song. What followed was something I never though possible but only rumors from the game players....Eiji kisses Yuki! O_O What in the world is wrong with such a pig! Insulting part! Yuki never wanted this from her reaction and running to Touya! Also they kissed while both crying and emotional distress? WIHN (What In Heaven's Name) This is bad!
Another thing is that at the very end of ED/preview You can see little Yuki being kissed by little Rina.....does it mean a possible Yuki x Rina?What makes me worried is that Hiiragi was in there as a security and it made me worried that he will go either after Yayoi or Yuki or Rina. What in the world happened to Rina with that drink....is she poisoned or has her voice damaged? From the looks of Hiiragi seeing this.
Looks like I got the wrong impression of Touya x Menou...they did nothing and Touya even slept under his table...I also know Menou was hiding at the neighbors' place until Touya came is how she got into his place.
Loved the whole Natsuko's song playing while explaining how she was found by Menou from the dirty streets (that was so emotional for me). Natsuko also learned to play electric piano, drums and even setting up some the equipment (was thinking that Rina was as nice as to Yuka). Too bad Natsuko got interrupted with neighbors complaints.
I rejoiced and got so happy at Akira being not dead but in the hospital with Haruka visiting him and Touya being friendly with him ok.

Something interesting about the ED...you can those are the figures of Misaki/Haruka/Yayoi/Mana/Menou so I wonder where they are going with this here=>
What will be the reaction of Yuki in the next episode with seeing Menou at Touya's place....I wonder. Overall once again loved the episode.

lol, I love this show when it fcks the audience over~ xD

Even though i saw the eiji x yuki thing coming, I never really materialized it inside my head. And when Eiji actually kissed Yuki I was like, "lol nooo, dont fuck with me pls". Too bad yuki doesnt like it though~

And in all honesty, I dont really get what the whole scandal is about.
Menou confessed about her never sang a song and theres also that faked sex scandal about her. But whats up with Eiji? As far as I understood he is involved in something about trading those paintings and tax problems. but why makes such a big fuzz about it? and who made these rumors? Misaki? and why? And I dont get why he cant just come out and say its not true but i guess thats something of the 80s~

I certainly like to know that as well. i sure hope for at least a somewhat happy end for Rina~ (me <--- never really cared about Yuki for one sec ... -_-)

I find almost all the EDs pretty interesting, at least somewhat artful~ Like the one before last ep, a girl dancing in the rain, then suddenly takes off her clothes lol~
I dont know what Rina kissing Yuki here realy means, but i guess it has some relation to the kiss in this ep, and rina x yuki relationship feels for me like actually one of the deepest anyway and is being heavily hinted everywhere, in op, earlier eps etc...

anyway, cant wait to see the end of this all as always :-)

And yea, Touya, she's not air anymore, she's crap now...TEH LULZ XD

The songs are actually not that bad, but since I got the pleasure to hear too much awesome and lovely songs this weekend, WA's songs only sound like shit to my ears sadly, and what's more LULZworthy is how the girl was told to STFU by the neighbors LOL

Ahhhh....Only bad thing is that punk bitch Sunohara is not dead, but a very satisfactory and FAPulously funny episode nonetheless... XD

Maybe stage fright? Also M3's president was saying something about Menou not being able to let go of her talent. So maybe she wasn't cut out for the business...

I'm really curious about Rina's drink.

I think it could be those guys from the past that tried to ruin Rina and somehow Hiiragi, maybe that person working for Kanzaki or someone who does not like Eiji that has connections. I do agree with you friend that Eiji should just admit but I think he took first steps already by calling police to turn himself in.

This is just so messed up. I really hope Yuki and Touya won't get back together, since all they are looking for right now in each other is consolation.
And that moment between Eiji and Yuki, the same, he was just looking for comfort and probably very out of his mind. Just desperately trying to grasp at anything to forget everything. To evade the truth.

I still like the soundtrack the most of this show, I always look out for the OP every week, and the sweet insert song sung by Yuki.. almost makes you forget she's voiced by Hirano.

And oh, not one mention anymore about his dad? Are you that cold, are you truly made out of stone not to lament the fact that your father died?

And hey dingo Francis, put that pic in a tag please, you already spoiled it for me :')

Wow, what an episode but that is nothing-less I expected from WU, really WU like.

The only thing I am disappointed in this episode was that I feel like there is something missing unexplained.

What exactly wrong with the scandal that made Eiji so confused about, didn't seem to be explained well.

I am not really sure who was the one that do something to Rina at the end, maybe someone doesn't want her to sing at Venus?

The only thing I can really see in this episode is that Menou is trying to get rid of everything. By "everything" I mean both companies.

Probably because it ruined her family a lot. I can see that somehow with Kanzaki thinking about her when she was at the airport leaving her side.

Oh my god! That show is just awesome. It's being the best of the year to me.
I can't belive a fuck on what my eyes are seeing, it's just awesome.
One of the best shows ever \o/

But now lets' speculate about "Lina's" (Rina) juice. To be honest, I haven't realized that the security guy (Hiiragi right?) might have set up in to Ogata's drink, at the moment I just thought that she had only choked with it, but after reading francismeunier, all started to make sense... Then comes the question, was it poison or was it just to spoil her voice.

Well, considering that it is an anime, i think that they wouldn't go too far, then the juice is probably just spoiled and will fuck with her voice, the chance of her dying or get sick by poisoning is low. But can also happen. So imo she will not be able to sing at Venus but that will be all.

Another point what called my attention was Eiji kissing Yuki, was a very strong scene, not expected by (before the hug behind the coach) and was cool to see her going to Touya's place to apologize with him, and tell the whole story then Menou walks out of the room. Was another shocking scene.

So this time they managed to assemble lots of strongs scenes in the same episode, without loosing balance, the episode was good form the start to the very last second (including jikai) now let's see how will be Yuki's reaction, cuz something cool will definitly happens!
And now looking forward to the next episode!

Consider herself lucky since the pig didn't drug her juice then brought her to a deserted place and erm-you-know-what her, that's the kinda vibe I always get whenever I see those pigs anyway... And amusing enough, they 90% do what I expect them lowly shitty pigs to do 8-)

I think Yuki liked it and felt bad, unlike scumbag. And it was a pretty neutral kiss.

I just confirmed two things in this episode:

- Touya doesn't care so much about Yuki anymore.
- Rina is an incredibly strong and complex character, plus she's voiced by Mizuki Nana, making her the main reason to watch this show (apart from the very dark and well-depicted atmosphere).

The developments were good and the rythm is accelerating a bit, so I'm really looking forward to the end. Even more when you take into account that anything can happen from now on, good or bad. I'm wishing for a nice boat ending as a lot of people here but I have the feeling we'll have a very conventional, maybe romantic ending.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

So.. Does that mean Menou's career is over? O.o
Wait what? Did I miss something? Why're there police running around searching for Eiji? O.o Oh well, since when did I expect to understand this anime to the fullest?xD
Oh I see, that's what it was.

Wait what? Touya's gone mad? Is there anything wrong with Haruka now all of a sudden?
Baaaawwww Akira's alive D:

"I don't want to lose anything anymore."
I hope he means he doesn't want to lose Yuki either? Or.. Actually.. How the heck is he going to make sure he doesn't lose anything at all? =.=' Friggin' impossible.

I won't write about the intricate stuff. I don't feel like it x)

Anywho, Menou's pretty sweet anyway.
And.. Yayoi.. Damn I really don't like her D:

Piggy photographer guy btw lol. He doesn't really cut it as a policeman, huh?xD

WHAT? Eiji.. Excuse me but wth are you doing? ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

And what? Who's putting acid in Rina's "coffee"? ಠ_ಠ

This was a hilariously bad episode. The "we don't have time to sufficiently answer questions, so here's Kanzaki and Rina discussing everything absolutely out of character" was crazy, and yet they still managed to be unclear about a few salient points. The first being that Kanzaki seems to have schemed up this whole mess with Eiji, thinking that he was actually going to commit fraud and he didn't. When Rina reveals that he isn't guilty of foul play, she should have been shocked. Otherwise, what exactly did she think her endgame was going to be, framing Eiji for crimes he didn't commit, and making it public?

Then Yuki's dumbass goes to look for Eiji, let's him kiss her, then backs off as though he did something the didn't expect. She was all about that kiss for a little bit. Dumb bitch...then she goes running to Touya. They are now exactly alike.

And WHAT THE FUCK! How is Akira alive, let alone unscathed? That truck seemed to be heading at him quickly, and he has a band-aid on his head. No one's dying. The show doesn't seem to have the balls to do that. If someone does die, it will only undermine the way they've dealt with Akira, Misaki, and I'm guessing Rina.

So now I'm going to go through vinesage and Siva's comments to see if I can clear anything up.
vinesage said:

And I dont get why he cant just come out and say its not true but i guess thats something of the 80s~

All the shady business Kanzaki was doing with the paintings was an attempt to extort money out of Eiji. I'm guessing that they're version of the IRS saw weird accounting in Eiji's books (getting rid of paintings, selling Kanzaki Rina and the studio, etc.) and pursued him on it. He just hasn't been upfront with his expenditures, and when you run a business, you have to be meticulous or crap like this happens.

It's not a matter of Eiji coming out and saying it's a misunderstanding, because now he seems to have realized that his childish, mentally unsound decisions have cost him his lively hood. Thanks to Yuki calling out his delusion on the paintings, he's realized that not only has he worked toward nothing, but that he gave everything up for it. That the cops are after him is an absolute afterthought. He's just running away from his problems like a chiild.

It wasn't really explained well. Leave it to the show to forego coherence in order to maximize impact.

I don't think Menou cares about anything at this point. And looking at the track record of the show, I'll just guess that Rina didn't expect the tea to be so hot, choked on it, and burned her tongue.

thank God Akira's alive. I was a bit displeased with it at first, but then realized we didn't see what happens and Akira most likely just got scared bu the car and fall from his bicycle (he's new at riding it afterall)

why Eiji's so confused? I think it's just like he said himself:
"I can't go on...
Everything's gone...
My paintings, my hideout, my company, my name, my Rina, and my dreams"
He lost his shell and just like a newborn child who's seeing the world for the first time, he's confused. Besides, it wasn't just a shell. It was his PRECIOUS shell. In other words

Jacut said:
- Touya doesn't care so much about Yuki anymore.

I strongly disagree. In fact, this is the very first time when Touya cares about Yuki so much. This is the very first time she became his saviour-goddess. And the more I think about it, the more I come to a conclusion that during the previous years they were so close that they lost that feeling of preciousness between the two. And now, after all these events, after being separated, after having so many regrets about their doings they now have a chance to jump to a new level in their relationship they couldn't reach earlier.

But what I'm a bit scared about is that they will leave something hidden and unexplained even after the end.... of all things the least one I want is an open or unfinished ending. And I kinda expected them to start telling a lot at the last episodes - they were hiding too much during the whole series. So it's finally time to open the kinder-surprise choco egg and see what's inside ^^

noteDhero said:

I don't know if I remember it correct but I think she stated it somewhere during the last couple episode that she love Touya(something like she wants him for herself alone). And the way she was acting in these last couple episodes is questionable. More than just self-destructed, it is like she is plotting for Touya and her own happiness alone.

When I said anything, I meant in relation to what you said about her trying to destroy both companies. I don't think she cares about how her actions affect M&M and Ogata. Like I said a few episodes ago, she's doing it all for her "happiness" and in this show, Touya is happiness.

Correct, Tamaru's dad mentioned in a past episode that Eiji was looking for buyers for his paintings but there was rumors that Eiji had money problems and was doing shady business under the table. The paintings where also rumored to be fakes. If someone like Tamaru's dad heard rumors like that then it would be easy to see the police catching wind too. The accusations are fake though so Eiji just needs to be audited. Eiji acted like a child and went into hiding. Looks like now he's going to face the police head on and explain though.

Akira being perfectly ok was a big surprise lol. This is one reason why I thought I missed an episode.

Yuki was an idiot this episode. She confronts a man having a breakdown and acts like she's interested in him. What's even more stupid is she runs back to Touya LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER HOLDING HER BACK. If she was in love with him she should have done that episodes ago for god sakes. Now Touya has a crying Yuki crying out words that are easily misunderstood. I'm thinking he may misunderstand and think she was raped by Eiji and find her undesirable. They're both retards so they should still stick together though....just don't bread.

Menou apparently sees Yuki as the real....(goddess?).

Again waaaay to much info to comprehend and come up with theory's now.

francis.. You know.. People usually go on to the next episode as soon as they've watched the episode, you don't have to advertise that you've made a thread for the next episode.
Forget it, you don't get it.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Oh wow Yuki... I didn't expect that... but well cheating is just the main theme here so to be honest we can expect it from any character now.

Woo! Akira is still alive! Although he's a lot less hurt than I thought someone would be after getting hit by a vehicle. He looks like he barely has any scratches!

When Touya started to run out of the hospital room to Yuki because he was worried made me laugh. You don't give a shit about her. Who are you fooling?

Looks like Touya didn't have sex with Menou. That's fine I guess. At least he can keep it in his pants once every billion times.

Didn't expect Eiji to kiss Yuki. I was like "NOOOOO!" but she pushed him back.

What the hell was in that drink that Rina drank? I was wonder what the hell she was outting in the cup as she was filling it up. It was green so maybe really hot tea? It couldn't have been something really acidic, can it? I hope she can still sing.

Eiji is only 28? Dont get me wrong, he looks young and all. I just thought that with him being the owner of a big music company, I thought that he would be close to the age of the owner of M&M. But I guess not. So I guess that his hair color is dyed then.

So Yuki and Eiji huh? I like that couple :)

And Yuki is allowed to cheat since Touya has been cheating first. So its fair game.

On a serious note, the last 3 minutes were great, from the moment Yuki entered the apartment-hideout that Eiji was in. With the two of them going through so many emotions, that scene between the two of them and the kiss between of them was GREAT. Well done!

I can't believe you said that.
When she hugged him I was like "please don't kiss him"
And than he touched her lips and I was like "No No NO!"
than she kissed him
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!! why did you take Yuki away from me?
the only good characters left are Mana and Haruka, and that guitar girl that plays music for Menou"

this is the first show I've watched that has more characters I dislike than those that I do.
And I still liked the show for what it was... Still can't really answer why though.

Shes allowed to cheat. The male MC has been cheating on her, so fair is fair. If the male MC was not cheating, and she would then kiss Eji, then thats bad. But that wasnt the situation here.

The best characters for me are Yayoi and Rina. If I can ever get a chick like Yayoi.... YEAH!!!!

I think I can guess why you like this show.... well, these are my reasons.

1- There are no cliches and no fanservice. This is one of the thing that many harem animes always have and always annoy me. But thankfully, this one does not have any of those.

2- This anime is not stuck in one place. Many harem animes are usually at an educational place, work place, or inside a house. This one is all over the place, which is great.

3- There are no one-dimensional or bland characters. My problem with the anime School Days is that Makoto was really bland. If Makoto had an interesting personality, than I would have liked that anime. In WA1, like him or not, the male MC is not bland. Also, WA1 doesnt have those annoying comedy characters.

4- The atmosphere in WA1 is mature from start to finish.

5- This is just me being superficial, but the male MC looks like a guy. A guy's guy. He doesnt look like a wimp or a chick (Makoto from School Days and the male MC of White Album 2).

You know, I sometimes cannot believe at how low this anime is rated and how much this anime is not liked by the anime community. This anime portrays the world in the 1980's perfectly with no cellphones, no internet, no computers, etc.

wow, Yayoi and Rina. We definitely do not have the same taste in woman lol
but nothing wrong with that.
though i am a bit confused now. Yayoi is the one that started this diversion of routes for the MC, while Rina was the one trying to keep the MC and Yuki together (even though Rina started having feelings of her own that isn't realized till later)
I'm baffled you could like the one character that splits them up and the other that tried keeping them together.
Though at the end, it's still the MC's fault on what he decides to do when the opportunity comes up.

also I don't like the idea of her cheating only because her boyfriend did.
I wanted her to be the one character that was too cool to steep that low, having revenge sex or w/e
i'm glad she at least she pushed Eji away, showing me that she still prefers to be the better person than to go down that route
she hasn't lost hope for her cheating boyfriend, which i don't agree with but as long as she doesn't fully become the cheater, than it's cool

if i had to put into words, i agree with most of what you said about why i like this show.
i also can't believe people dislike this show and rate it lowly.
though it's not too hard to believe since it's a show about assholes that's a little too surreal for an anime
but it's not like anyone said anime can't be realistic in terms of human drama
it's just not the usual
which is exactly why i love it. there was no repetitive patterns or themes
that we can point out from other anime's

i just started White Album 2 (on the third episode) and i'm just laughing at the fact that people say this season is godly compared to the first white album.
I was completely intrigued from episode 1 till the end of the first season.
but White Album 2 is not hitting the same spot at all for me.
i hope it gets better.

^ You know, the reason why it didnt bother me too much with Eji is because Eiji is a very cool guy. He's awesome. Great personality. The only flaw I can think of him is that he's too innocent and naive, and when you're in a position of being an owner like he was, thats not good. So when they kissed, it was like she had one bonus card she could use (well... many considering the MC of the anime :P )

My problem with White Album 2 is that, well, the personality of the characters are kinda generic. Its a love triangle where its pretty obvious who the male MC will pick. But not only that, its also obvious whom the majority of the anime fans will want to win.

But White Album 2 does have a great remix of the songs White Albums and Sound of Destiny on episode 7, so look for that.

In terms of music, White Album 2 focuses more on the instruments while White Album 1 focuses more on the singers.

One of the things that I dont like about White Album 2 fans is that when they praise White Album 2, they criticize White Album 1 in the process. One time I went to the White Album 2 forums praising White Album 1 and criticizing White Album 2, and I got destroyed.

i didn't put much thought into Eji's character, or see him as good or bad.
i just didn't want Yuki going down that road.
plus his delusions with those paintings kinda threw me off so i never really
had a great liking for him after that.

yeah i'm not even going to try and go praise white album 1 on that forum.
they're both good for there own reasons, but white album 1 wins gold for me.

so i just marathon'd white album 2 and it was... different.
obviously since it was made by entirely different people.
but the atmosphere and theme was soo different and it just didn't hit the same spots for me.

i did like how they featured the songs and singers we've watched from white album 1. even though they played those same songs way more than we heard them in white album 1.
now i'm totally hooked on the song "white album"

everything about the show was average up until the last few episodes when
the characters really started to dig into the core problem in their relationship.
it was like usual love triangles i've seen where the MC chooses someone and than
everyone else is just dropped from the story. and his choice was obvious like you said.
the originality of this show for me was that they actually showed confrontation from all parties when all the cards was on the table about who was into who.
Even though some events i couldn't agree with, or just felt weird about.
i guess cause most romance shows i watch usually only involved two mates. and the few harem's i've seen didn't involved cheating.
but damn, this show, and white album 1, and NHK all had cheating.
i know it's not anyone's original intention to cheat, but i just hate it so much.
it's hard to watch characters i start to like have to get hurt like that.
so it's also harder for me to give praise to a show that contains so much of it.
which is why i have to give props to white album 1 for giving me a show
filled with assholes constantly cheating, and still make it interesting for me.

(also white album 2 wins the award for most awkward kissing scenes)

that ending really bugged me too.

not all shows can have a happy end. but even for a sad ending, that conclusion just doesn't sit well with me. but i guess that's the point. love hurts deep.
and sometimes things get real messy.
(i literally just finished the show a few minutes ago, so i'm still feeling some heartache from this whole thing lol)

u got any other shows i would like based on the fact that i liked white album 1.

or any other shows u really liked that other people hated.

actually i just saw that two of your fav characters are from Glasslip.
thats another show someone recommended me but felt a little iffy about because
of the amount of low ratings it got.
considering we both like a show that also had low ratings, would i like that show?

Didn't like this episode.

Eiji can't have Yuki. She's in Touya's harem. It doesn't matter what Touya does.

I want some action and fanservice from Menou. And Mana. Especially since Yayoi hasn't made an appearance in ages.

Too bad Akira is still alive. And that idiot fat guard who poisoned the green tea, kill him off already.
