| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Poor Houki. She finally takes the initiative but Ichika is too stupid to realize it. Also, I don't really think Hanazawa Kana's voice is manly enough to even try and fool people about her gender. At this rate I expect there to be 20 transfer students by the end of the anime. |

| Reverse Traps FTW!! If people think that voice is a male's voice they will be sadly mistaken!! No man can be that cute!!! (Except Hideyoshi) The other new transfer student seems pretty badass. Laura Bodewig. |

| Wow, yeah. Charles's voice. It was way too feminine. orz They should've gone with someone who's better with voicing male characters or something. It was still a cute episode at some parts, more so at the beginning, but eh. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This episode has proofs that Ichika is gay. He's feels no attraction towards the other girls yet he grabbed that trap's hand, charles who everyone thinks is a boy, and led charles out of the classroom like some teenage lover by the hand. Does he not have any incentive to do anything like this with a girl instead of a boy? In the locker room, he was quite subtle saying he won't peek as charles change, but as we can see he does peek a few seconds later immediately. When the class is outside and a bunch of girls wanted to shake Ichika's hand what does he do? Hesitates and doesn't even touch their hands. But he is quite forceful towards boys, lol.... He redeem himself with some very little points at the end of the episode when he fed Houki a little of her own food. Hopefully the gray hair girl from germany will kick ass as she seems to have a serious attitude. Action, meccha, shounen....such a harem/romance. meccha, action, shounen? It's more like harem/romance/gay at the moment. Like Naruto, the only thing this anime has going for it at the moment is just the fight scenes... |
| Ichika, the lucky bastard. 3 girls already and now his homeroom teacher and best friend's sister as well? I wonder what ever happened that made Laura hate Ichika so much. There maybe other reasons but I'm guessing it's either because he's such a stupid wimp who can barely win at best, the fact that he's a Male piloting a "girls only" IS, something happened in Germany, or from my own selfish and wishful assumption after watching the preview.... SHE HAS A YURI CRUSH ON CHIFUYU-NEE. billng said: Reverse Traps FTW!! If people think that voice is a male's voice they will be sadly mistaken!!No man can be that cute!!! (Except Hideyoshi) It was such a complete givaway from her voice to her behavior. I wouldn't blame him for blushing at someone like that....(And Mizuho from Otoboku is better IMO.) br87mal said: I think he's just naive towards girls, but there's no sexual tension btw males. Does he not have any incentive to do anything like this with a girl instead of a boy? Then again, I wouldn't mind if he choses the "Yaoi" route. Considering the personalities of the girls around him, (Two of them Tsun, one proud and bad at cooking, all jealous and clingy) it's probably a turnoff. Oh, and never before has anyone told him that he's a kind person with such a gentle and Dere smile. (^_^) |

| I kinda feel like that boy is a girl. Also If it really is a boy I thope there will be some Shounen-ai jokes. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
GarLogan78 said: I know! What the hell? In my post in the last episode discussion thread I was asking for America, but they gave me Germany. XDAt this rate I expect there to be 20 transfer students by the end of the anime. Sounds like our French transfer student will be revealed next week. Seriously, how can anyone think she's a guy with that voice? Ichika continues with his stupidity. He walks into the room all happy with his hand on his hip and a big smile on his face, "What is everyone so excited about?" I just felt like there should be a big red arrow pointing at him that says, "Idiot!" And wow, he lands on the instructor like that? Didn't we just do this in OreImo...? He runs away with the transfer student, whom he believes to be a boy, by HOLDING HIS HAND?! Woooooow... I don't even... Okay, so the funniest aspect of this show is the plethora of transfer students they're giving us. I do like Germany, err... Laura. Finally, a girl who isn't in love with Ichika. There ARE guys outside of their school, you know. Anyways, what do ya bet that Germany's gonna fall for him later as well? Edit: With that eyepatch Germany reminds me of a female King Bradley (character from FMA). |

br87mal said: This episode has proofs that Ichika is gay. lol I feel bad for Houki, out of all the girls she is the one the is trying the hardest and Ichika is useless. The reverse trap is so obvious that is kinda sad... at least they should have given him like 5 min of manlyness, but from the introduction it was like *...facepalm* |
| huh? |
Iilia said: Okay, so the funniest aspect of this show is the plethora of transfer students they're giving us. I do like Germany, err... Laura. Finally, a girl who isn't in love with Ichika. There ARE guys outside of their school, you know. Don't get your hopes up, there is no way in hell she will not become in love with him considering she is in the main credits of a HAREM anime, and has so much hostility towards him before even getting to know him. A lot of people are calling Ichika dense, but I still feel he's just choosing not to pay attention to the advances coming is way. He's even relieved another "boy" is there just so he can have someone to talk to without having to get any romantic feelings on a silver platter like the past 4 episodes. I'm sure he gives back some affection when he wants to. I find it highly unlikely that him being of japanese background, he would be unfamiliar with the deeper meaning of feeding someone. Like I've been saying, if you give Ichika some time with one girl, it will eventually blossom, he's proven that with Rin and Houki now. But Cockblocking is the Biggest enemy of a Harem, and its hitting him HARD |
| Houki put down some strong dere in there lol |
 |
| I didn't expect two transfers in one episode but I think Laura could make the show more interesting (whether or not she falls in love with Ichika). I really hope she doesn't. |
  |
| How the hell did Ichika land on top of that teacher when the teacher was the one who landed on top of him? Logic says that it's impossible considering they didn't leave the crater so they didn't flip and change position but this is anime I guess. No explanation is needed. Lol Kana Hanazawa. Her small voice doesn't really pass up as manly so it's really obvious that it's a reverse trap. inb4 more people saying that Ichika is gay. But say it isn't so, they showed another man besides Ichika O.o And two transfer students. That's too much though, even the students are getting suspicious. I liked the lunch part, made me smile :) Good episode. inb4 the two transfer students join in the ED song. |
 |
| Laura bitchslapping Ichika was the best scene in the whole episode. It was just downright hilarious. And wtf at Ichika not dying and somehow ending up on top of the teacher when she crashed right on top of his head. So from the IS's shown so far... Cecilia is the long range sniper, Laura is heavy artillery, Rin is melee/mid-range support, and Ichika is pure melee... which leaves french bishounen reverse trap and Houki. |

| Charles a guy? It's a trap ! Wow, Houki got the most love this episode :3 Haha, just as I expected, a very typical harem, didn't expect any better lmao ichika is such a moron. whoa laura bitch slapped him right away, rofl |
| It seems that the Japanese love the 'transfer student' event. Oh Haruhi Suzumiya would be proud. Atleast thats the last of them... hopefully Anyways... -Another girl is added to Ichika's harem. The best friends' sister at that. I like her for some reason, and the big brother. He feels his sister's (and Rin's) pain for his denseness. -A trap! "it's a trap!" but not a good one at that. The voice is too high, and all that was going on in my head was 'KANADE, TENSHI!' -.- -If they all had to go through exams how come that one girl could barely walk in the IS? The one right before Houki? Which begs another question, why doesn't Houki have a personal IS. I mean her sister was the creator of the core, plus it doesn't look as good compared to the competition who have their own. -A cheap lol at the position of Ichika. He was standing up and Yamada-sensei crashed into him. How did he get on top? Ah the wonders I always think that the ending sequence is a harem-meter. Rin is in the front, but seeing as it hadn't changed since last weeks probably not. But hey, i like her the most for him, so i'll see it as that. And i'm surprised they didn't add Charles Charlotte. They might as well add her since the secret is out with the obvious blushing, preview, but i guess she'll be added in next week's ep. For some reason I'm looking forward to this anime every week. |
br87mal said: Nice explanation except I think he just trust guys more than girls because of something in his past, not sure what though. Thus why he can be more natural with guys.This episode has proofs that Ichika is gay. He's feels no attraction towards the other girls yet he grabbed that trap's hand, charles who everyone thinks is a boy, and led charles out of the classroom like some teenage lover by the hand. Does he not have any incentive to do anything like this with a girl instead of a boy?

| Laura = Kuroko Onee-sama is MINE!!!!!!! |
| haha,so that boy might be a girl. but i cant stand ichika's voice actor....so annoying. |
| So what happened to teh promised date that some people were hyping about LULZ? And what about Ichika being smarter and stuffs? Awwww... I don't know about you guys but I'd gladly have klutz teacher, Rin & TRAP exchanged for the red head siblings; at least they are eye-catching instead of another Houki, a boring TRAP with a boring voice & a retarded klutz. Better yet, if only I can have red head bro being the MC instead of banal Ichika, then I'm positive that I'd enjoy the show A LOT more because at least that guy seems to have some common sense; granted that he's not that hot but at least he's miles better than Ichika in term of looks anyway. Unfortunately, male otaku are mostly butthurt about people who are better looking or more popular than them thus discourage any producer from trying to include a decent lead in a given show and therefore, I guess that's merely a far-fetched wish from my part~ |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Wow, the harem grows ... another girl that likes him? XD I like Charles! Even though I totally expected him to be a girl ... I mean he definitely sounds like one XD How many transfer students will there be anyway ...? :P Oh well this new girl seems interesting, maybe she'll break the loop and WON'T fall for him ...? Coming up to him and *backhand* ... was epic XD Lol at the lunch scene ... funneh ;P |
| Won't accept that he's her brother huh? Lol. They're blood related, nothing you can do about it. |
 |
| Ichika is obviously stupid, he didn't even eat Rin's sweet and sour pork! PV says Charles's "secret will be revealed" next ep. |
| lol at the backhand slap...... i can't understand people when they say "i won't except you as <subject to change> brother/sister" i mean it's fact, you can't change it, just deal with it. kinda annoys me that line does. anyone else notice ALL transferring student go into that class? no over you never see and empty seat in the classroom buy somehow there's always an empty seat when someone transfers in. i'd believe it in a real life scenario cause most desk can be moved around but those desk look like their mounted to the floor. |
| Hide behind the mighty wall of internet, i shall |

flame_master_14 said:  Always fun to show this one :) I liked the episode but I wanted some development between Houki and Ichika during the lunch but instead it turned into a Kampfer like gathering. Still funny though. |
| Ok, the anime serie just got silly...i mean last episode we had an unmmaned drone, which was enough to develop the story. No, they had to bring in a male transfer student(which I'm fine with it by the way...if he HAD a manly voice instead of a woman's!). Then have him get "embarrassed" during the lockre scene like some yaoi crap just for giggles. Then we have Ms. Nazi at the end bitchslapping Ichika just for lulz too because having unmmaned drone isn't enough of a story development...and like some mentioned above, by the end of this serie they are gonna need to change classrooms from the hundreds of transfers. There's a limit to how silly a thing can get...I hope they know that. |
| so.... there's nothing but girls everywhere throwing themselves at him and he's just like oh sweet a dude, it sure is nice having a guy around! wtf? I don't think he's too dense but wow, is anybody besides people in the anime fooled into thinking Charles is a guy? well maybe Ichika really does like guys or he knew it was a girl when he blushed. aww no more roommates with Houki and the german girl appears already? oh sure she smacks him now, but she'll be in the harem soon just like frenchy. even his friends sister had it for him. speaking of which, she finds it okay to walk around her brother scantily clad but not her brothers friend? lol? I wouldn't mind seeing her again but doesn't seem likely. |
 |
| normally when I met a new friend, I won't hold his hand....To be honest, even if its my best friend, I won't hold his hand unless I accidentally touch it >< man~~~DAT Ichika 's sex drive is really malfunctioned.He doesn't feel shy or hesitated even when he is carrying Shinononononononono and many more......he is such a dolt X 99999 Anyway,Fun episode.I really like it. 5/5 the harem still have maybe 2-3 to increase lol . I wonder next week will increase or not |

| My Response to Charles: " Trap,Trap,Trap,Trap,Trap,Trap,Trap,Trap,Trap and oh let's not forget Trap. XD " |
akovaski said: I'll be very surprised if there isn't a "Charles is actually a flat chick" plot twist in the next episode. or she uses bandages o.0 Rykimaruh said: Then we have Ms. Nazi at the end bitchslapping Ichika just for lulz too because having unmmaned drone isn't enough of a story development...and like some mentioned above, by the end of this serie they are gonna need to change classrooms from the hundreds of transfers. big LOL for ms.Nazi nickname there, and i agree. their lack in story development is odd, i'm assuming its gonna be another one of those animes where the plot picks up at the last two episode the most generic harem. yes, ichika's gay if anyone disagrees flam my post, if you agree quote "yes ichika is gay" if i need to explain why then................... one this i have to say about trap. is hideoshi considered trap, cause dam....he even has his personal bath house and changeroom |
| Hide behind the mighty wall of internet, i shall |
| Four girls in the harem now. Oh boy. I'm pretty sure Houki will come out on top at the end. Can't see it going any other way. |
 |
| Why would a girl need to disguise herself as a guy in a all girl school? |
 |
SwordWielder said: i know the answer but its a huge spoilerWhy would a girl need to disguise herself as a guy in a all girl school? i'll post it for anyone who really wants to know in a spoiler tag but it'll most likely to be revealed next week so i'd advise everyone to not read it. its nothing really but spoiler really get on peoples nerves. |
| Hide behind the mighty wall of internet, i shall |
| I still don't get why I'm so entertained by such a seemingly generic show. |
| Ok™ |
| God I wish Charles were actually a dude. Pair him with Ichika, add the shounen-ai tag and we're pitching and bitching. It's funny that despite this being a harem tag, they seem to be much better at doing the male, or "male" character designs. Fang attempted murder. I'm surprised no one made a big deal out of that. She physically attempted to kill Ichica and the teacher was required to intervene in order to prevent an untimely death. That wasn't a pocket knife she threw, it was a very large and very lethal weapon. Male friend's sister was awesome. Want more of her. Charles I like, but think the character will probably just degenerate to the level of the rest of the harem once the secret is revealed. German doesn't seem like she'll offer much. This episode was remarkably enjoyable as a comedy, not much else. Sometimes all you need is to do one genre right to be worth watching though. |
| Good episode. Lots of funny comedy around and Cecilia is just so... so moe. <3 But there's another character who I think is underrated and that is: Anyway, France was pretty meh, even though so many people were excited for her and said she was going to come out top. As for Ichika... |
 |
| "Yeah, it gets tangled." "T-tangled?!" ^lol |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| The girls from Europe is coming to get you Ichika. Houki is in lead after this episode. |
  |
| I was cracking up when Ichika said "Thinking would be pointless". It's like he knows he is not smart enough to figure out what's happening around him. |
| ...more excuses for harem. I really don't like this show. |
| Houki is the Winner |
| Yup its a girl. And I didn't know that Hanazawa Kana can voice a boy. Laura is kind of interesting. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| lol just lol i hope they stop spaming transfer student like this or they need a bigger room at the end of this show. |
 |
| Obvious reverse-trap is still obvious, ever since last episode's preview. And made even more obvious by every damn thing she did in this episode. And despite it being expected, the fact that Ichika landed on top of whatever-her-name-sensei while she in fact fell down on him. ┐(-｡ｰ')┌ And now there's Laura's eyepatch (and let's not forget about Ran), in addition to Houki and Rin. (I still don't count Cecilia, because she annoys the hell out of me.) Which brings me to my last statement, this episode needed moar Ran. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
