| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So we get Pigtail-braid Sadako this time... when is Ponytail Sadako? Sadako is just so cute, trying not to let the class down in soccer; especially cute when she is horrible at kicking rocks. I adore how Kazehaya is just so absorbed into her, and it's great seeing Sadako all flustered from compliments. Kurumi is a lot cuter then what I remembered though, the voice must be the thing causing this... |

Excellent episode about the development of Sawako's friendship and love feelings for Kazehaya. Loved all her new expressions mainly the blushing ones. I am starting to get hostile feelings towards Ume Kurumi.....her fake expressions along with her poker face are not deceiving me and are making me angry because I know all she wants is Kazehaya for herself. Particularly the nicknames were nice Ayane, Ekko, Tomo and Chizu. Loved Sawako new hairstyle and Pin's comedy value to this episode once again. Absolutely liked the soccer scenery here: Kazehaya shows his care for Sawako and it has a intense feeling to me. My favorite Sawako Expressions in this episode:HawthorneKitty said: Kurumi is not cute...fake girls only appear to be but in fact she is rotten inside. The outside might be cute but that is all to me. Kurumi is a lot cuter then what I remembered though, the voice must be the thing causing this... |
This the hair style I was refering to:
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
1jzSC said: nothing wrong with being rotten =) No...nothing except a possible hurting Sawako over the rotten personality that can be very selfish of Ume towards having Kazehaya to herself.....yeah about that rotten I would say. Ever heard of Snow White? |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| I dunno, compared to the latest couple of episodes this one was pretty much a snooze. |
 |
| I SMILED THE ENTIRE TIME!! i think it took me like an hour to watch this episode. i kept rewinding and re-watching scenes over!! so great!! <33 |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Fuck yeah!!! Soccer!!! Aside from that, it was a meh episode. |
| Usually the pureness of characters get annoying real fast but Sawako still feels fresh, unlike that brain dead Haruka Nogizaka. I like a slow paced episode, it just sinks right in to savor the flavor. Next episode, the enemy becomes the friend. How... true... |
| Why can't there be more sweet guys like Kazehaya? He's almost too good to be true. |

| What? wait it's over? 20 minute surely run fast XD Kurumi and her little plot ehh? So that's how she kept her rival in check..now that she face Sawako... It's kinda meh because it's the beginning of the new arc |
 |
| I just noticed in this episode that they're in class 1-G. 1-G = IG i c what u did thar |

chinaboat said: I dunno, compared to the latest couple of episodes this one was pretty much a snooze. Agreed, This will be the first episode that I have given a 4 :/ |
 |
| Hahahaha xD the tickling part in the begining followed by sawako's confused chibi face was sooooo cute ;_; AND the part where she tries to call her friend's names ( "Aren't there to many a's ?" Awwwwwww) Anyway, I liked the vibe. No offence to the kimi ni todoke fans, but it's just a little slow. I want kazehaya to kiss her already T_T (*especially referring to the manga -.-*) 3.5/5 |

Are you that taken with Sawako that you can't feel a little sad for Kurumi. Where exactly do you get this idea that she is fake and rotten inside. I think this picture shows a lot more than just jealously.  I think it shows genuine envy and a broken heart. If she is really rotten and fake then that side hasn't manifested itself yet. As of right now, I feel really bad for her. It was so sad it was beautiful. Plus Sawako in Braids...  Priceless!!! And of course they even threw in a little bit of evil shenanigans.  Did anyone else notice how beautiful IG's animation in the episode was. I had to keep re-watching parts of this episode myself. It was almost so beautiful that it was distracting. I so busy absorbing the 3D layers of definition that it was hard to even read the subtitles. The animation was definitely on par with the first episode which blew me out to the water once I started looking deeper. I'm still loving the incorporation of manga art too. The mixture of 2D pastels, and 3D backgrounds with what looks like a blurring filter is really giving this show a very dynamic and eye pleasing look. As for the plot of this episode, the words of Sinefeld work very well. "It's a show about nothing". They did a really good job of explaining nothing in this episode and that last pick of Kurumi with the ending music slowly fazed in was brilliant. It almost made me cry. Another great episode. |
Orion1 said: Yeah... About that, I was kinda disapointed with sawako's smiling faces in the episode. For some reason they looked very weird :x Probably the "eyes closed mid-way" thing wasn't well done. |

Naruleach said: I SMILED THE ENTIRE TIME!! I did, too! =D I simply loved this episode, it made me smile so much. x3 Sawako is so sweet. |
| "Self-Practice" sent my mind to the gutter. Sawadoko? Sawadoko! "When Sadoko smiles, good fortune comes." |
 |
| Sawako playing football with a rock and forgetting the time over it was very nice. We also see that Kurumi isn't that bad a person either, so hopefully there won't be further plotting against Sawako. I guess omitting the -kun after the last name for three seconds was a very brave thing for Sawako to do, so i guess we won't see her confessing to him in the next let's say 10 episodes... |

People like him are a rare breed , i have never met anyone like him in my living human yrs *head droops*--sadness Well showed alot of lovey-dovey-ness towards Kazehaya , gald because i cant wait to see them kiss or atleast hold hands.Basically want to see a little more between them. As usual i always cry while watching this series, it doesnt have to be depressing , few scenes which make me happy basically makes me cry...=yes this sort of sounds wierd. Oh they didnt show Ryuu this time :( When Kazehaya wanted sawako to practice soccer with him , i actually thought you know she might fall on him or otherwise like normal shoujos would for sure do , but even though they didnt show anything , the music and both of them staring at eachother *tear*---pretty pretty!! |
 |
| I smell new RIVAL!!! 笑顔の代わりに風早くんにとどけ |
| I love this anime Sawako was lovely as usual. |
 |
| ahh another good episode (: sawako was soo cute in braids!!! i really question about kurumi...... |
:):):):):):):)  |
| Does anyone notice that the people in this anime talk to themselves a lot? And this episode was kind of slow...not much really happened. |

Orion1 it did manifest itself a little by her talking to Kazehaya about something she already knew and there is the staring as well as this:Behold all the "Evil Eye" of Kurumi Ume!==>  that is enough for me a rotten jealous eye but you know what Orion1...I might say you are right to sympathize with her if something else happens that will change my view on her.

| That annoying overrated Hirano Aya and her character role appears more obviously tho I hate this fact. But Sawako, she is made of win ofc Kazehaya-kun too. ♥ |
| This show i can't even ak;dhgajdg. Certainly not as great as last week, but still... I loved it. My favorite moment was definitely this bit: For what ever reason. It was just very cute. |
 |
| wow, Kurumi is waaaaay creeeepy behind that cute face! Spying (second time around) and manipulative while she acts so shy: it's really clear when you see how she "unwillingly" got her friends to get her on that comittee thing to get close to Kazehaya. I see extreme backstabbing in the future... |
| im quite scared for them all after seeing kurumi in this episode. I feel she will try and break them all up, just to hurt sawako for getting close to kazehaya. i do agree with the others that said this wasnt as good as other episodes. first time i gave a 4 out of 5, but still really really good :) |

There were many times Kazehaya' smile was cute but with what he said here I agree with you 1000% :D |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Sawako was so cute when she was practising soccer. The ed was really good! As for now I symphatize a little with the "rival" girl, but unfortunately she'll be cruel :( (hope not!) |
| Aww so adorable. Really beautiful episode.. |
 |
| Kazehaya makes my heart pound. I know exactly how Sawako feels. Haha. I am also getting hostile feelings towards Kurumi. I know Kurumi is going to do something that will really hurt Sawako, and I dont want it to happen. I really really want to see Kazehaya and Sawako hug or something. Sawako trips and Kazehaya catches her, ANYTHING! |
    |
| The final scene where Kazehaya and Sawako look at each other, right before she kicks the ball, was pretty intense. A friendly smile was replaced by a look of love. |
| Even though this ep was a bit slow, I'm so charmed by the show that I don't care.. Loved Sawako in braids and the look that they provoked from Kazehaya.. I think there was the tiniest of development in their relationship, mostly in the looks they exchanged and that they caused the atmosphere to be "different". I'm wondering what Kurumi is going to pull. They already did slander/rumours, so.. blackmail? But what could she (or anyone for that matter) have on Sawako? Or maybe she'll get violent and threathen to punch Sawako if she goes near Kazehaya.. lol sorry, that would be a different show right there^^ |
 |
| New girl (well not new new) = terrible. I'm glad I'll get to hate her character since I hate her seiyu. :P She's gonna ruin everything for Sawako. T_T |
| Kimi ni Todoke makes me fall in love a little myself. I can't wait to buy it on DVD. This episode was just another perfect one, Sawako looked so happy and in love. |
| It was a good episode. I like when Sawako smiles; all seems perfect. But now I want to see what will happen with Kurumi... she's very cute but... Sawako too. |
