THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The episode did a marvellous job of a intro towards Yuiko "Lizbeth" Kurugaya whom I liked in the following spoiler
As she gives a good lesson to Masato. They sure did really good with Lizbeth, particularly on her assets in terms of legs, breasts and appearance wise. It all panned perfectly fine IMO. Lizbeth was aggressive and funny. It’s too bad they did not balance out more showing Haruka Saigusa.

About Lizbeth, one the enticing things of her in this episode is her poses such as the following,

That show quite well her figure. Lizbeth has been given the character interaction that is far better than the VN and this shows well IMO. Moreover Lizbeth's assets were shown quite well in the list:
  • Lizbeth's legs in the spoiler
    with the variations have been shown quite their charms with the different depictions. Rather finely done in terms of the Zettai Ryouiki appeal.

  • Another thing are her breasts in the spoiler
    the different angles cannot be denied there. This most likely proves she may be the most endowed in the chest characters in the series as I don’t recall any other girl having a bigger chest than her as of this episode.

  • Lizbeth’s teasing of Rikki in the spoiler
    proves how much her charms are really. Rikki looked quite intimidated there with her advances. She is also portrayed as the aggressive type especially after the violence towards Masato that was done.
So that being said of Lizbeth she is quite the dream school girl with big breasts and great legs of this series and this proves it quite enough. Not my type but most likely appealing to many others. She reminds me of:
http://myanimelist.net/character/4603/Tomoyo_Sakagami
And her antics of abuse on:
http://myanimelist.net/character/4610/Youhei_Sunohara
Which goes back to Masato being abused by her and people thinking it was who it is from Clannad. Other than that I liked how Masato was around her in the spoiler
with that toy and what it produced as an end result itself. Comedy wise. Lizbeth sure proved her aggressive side of things and appeal.

Her rich character interaction with Masato in the spoiler
provided not only fun but also showed how she goes towards him and his jokes. Lizbeth is shown her as serious and aggressive on the whole concept of whom her signs point towards to.

While her sword play in the spoiler
towards Masato just plain shows how aggressive and far she is willing to go. It was rather scary to get cut by the sword but Masato did a nice number on blocking it. Kyousuke's entry was nice there and of course Rin/Rikki reactions were quite funny since they were not common for this situation hence irony.

About Haruka Saigusa, she is introduced very strongly with the following,

and richly in the spoiler
with her interaction with Masato himself. Smile/finger reaction wise she was very well done in terms of MOE.

Further going in the spoiler
her comeback later on barging in suddenly into the class and that finger pointing again with an aggressive expression seemed to work more with me than Lizbeth’s ones. Seems they are more fun less serious.

About the beginning, the start was very strong in terms of Komari in the spoiler
whom her MOE is shown and rather nice clumsy antics that were quite MOE enticing. I liked a lot of the close ups of Rin's and Kyousuke's faces there. The light effect was proper and Masato was quite hilarious with his expressions and the ball.

About thee end, it was quite MOE amazing in the spoiler
in regards to Komari/Rin part where Komari cuddles with Rin. So MOE oh MY! While Lizbeth’s appearance surprised all and much more on her skills after she sent that ball flying. Lizbeth might be the HOME RUN CHICK! Where she can hit them hard and far.

About the preview, THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE! Everyone wondering about Noumi? Look no further than the spoiler
SHE IS COMING! COMING! Too excited for this hence I leave it first. Other than that in the spoiler
more Komari and some old man? Kengo being like that?

In conclusion I think they serviced out a little too much Lizbeth for this kind of series but I am not bothered by it. I do think Lizbeth’s aggressive sides are turn out for me TBH. I do think her body is hot the way it was shown and I liked more Haruka Saigusa TBH. Now for Noumi! COME TO ME MY DEAR! I TAKE CARE OF YOU! Well I am not the only one but I do want to also! :D

BTW Some fast Image Stitches in the spoiler
with most likely a thread of them in the club at a later time.

Now all Image Stitches are done better in the BLOG:

Oh dang, I'll have to go back to that, I did catch her at all lol.

The fight between Masato and Kurugaya was very well done. Masato would have definitely had that if he didn't end up with a bad weapon. But Kurugaya threw it anyways so it was all good lol. Her character was displayed very well and similar to the VN.
Slight spoiler


Haruka made a couple appearances too. ^^ Lol at the messed up book!

Kud will be coming in next episode too! Wafu!

WOW! That was hard to even notice. Seems there might be a route to her but she might be just a support character.

Does she have any attachments to other characters? If so then they might include her with that character if it's Noumi or Komari as example.

That being said, I wonder what is so amazing of her other than her appealing design. Guess only VN people know so PM ME IT!

Poor Masato... he's so adorable in his suffering ;)
and I hope to see more of Kurugaya's "passion" from now on (but I agree her character design is bit weird, still I like it).

And at last Kud

That was a good episode. Kurugaya's movements are done very well, and the interactions are just as I remember.

With this art style, Kurugaya looks a little bit younger (kinda detracting from the whole "onee-san" thing, but her voice and mannerisms are still the same as the good old Kurugaya we all know and love.

Haruka looks a bit too cute for her annoying antics. Her intro seemed a bit different.

Kyousuke is definitely shaping up to be one funny character. His random jumping through the window was pretty funny. I'm just waiting on
.

And hooray for normal sports uniforms!

KUD NEXT WEEK. HOORAY WAFU

Oh, and apparently Kengo also wore a hakama 24/7 in middle school. I see not much has changed =P

Not to ruin the fun or anything, but just because we see some blond hair of a character hidden behind someone does NOT mean it is Saya. It's probably just a random background character. If it is her, I doubt she'll be in the actual series. Maybe an OVA if we're lucky. Here's why it probably won't be here:

Her route requires you to know what happens in the visual novel. In EX you are asked if you know the secret of the world. Saying no you don't get to see her route, saying yes you do. They could really only show her route AFTER the show finishes, meaning it would be an OVA. Doing so before would spoil what happens towards the end of the series in Refrain, and in Refrain there are no real character routes since Refrain is a route itself. So there is no place for her route to take place.

But again, knowing her route will mean you know how the series ends (either from playing the VN or reading a spoiler) and they just do NOT have time or place to do it. Like with LB EX, her and the two other girls' routes are just extras. They aren't part of the main story because they cannot fit (at least Saya's).

I think they just put her there to please her fans, I doubt she will participate in this series.

But for me it still is her, or a Saya cosplayer D:.

To be fair, she has Saya's hair ties. If I'm correct, a staff on twitter tweeted that a particular someone (heavily implied to be Saya) was hidden in episode one so I think that it's safe to assume that Saya was deliberately hidden once per episode//

But I have to agree with you that it's highly likely that Saya's route will not be animated in the main series.

err.... This episode was not nice at all ... -__-"
a bunch of things happened, and the new girl just joined in LB! because it was fun, I'd say that's pretty random ...

Comedy in this episode was so bad that I couldn't even laugh a bit... *sigh. Not sure but everything seems unnatural and somewhat forced ... It wasn't fluent and entertaining like those comedy in Clannad or even Sakurasou this season...

And man, I remembered Kyo Ani animated Tomoyo's kick epically




But ... J.C just ... they couldn't even animate Kurugaya's kick properly.

Oh well, average episode I must say, really I'm a fan of Key and their anime adaptation, but this one is just so bland and mediocre at best. Hope it gets better soon. Looks like next episode we're gonna see Kud ...

Amazing introduction to one of my fav characters, Kurugaya. Imo her role was almost flawless when comparing it to the VN. Big sister-like personality and a troll to Riki, great to see those traits in the anime.

And of course, Masato's idiocy in his comebacks and the pop-up pirate were hilarious! Actually found this more entertaining than the original.

Holy crap, they're actually breezing through Komari's route already based on the ep. 4 preview. Can't wait to see the ultimate loli in the LB crew: Kud

Too bad I'll never get used to her design in this anime. Her design has the worst adaptation.

Homever, now I'm getting worried about how the routes will turn out. A lot of character's interactions and scenes from the VN were cut out, and I think their absence will lower the drama impact.

Also, there is the problem of what comes after Komari's route.

He didn't say Gotham. The word Masato wanted to read was Gokkan and if I heard it correctly Kengo told him what sounds like Gosan (someone who hears better than me feel free to correct me precisely). Either way, the whole fight is because Kengo "tricked" Masato into saying it the wrong way or at least that's what Masato thinks. UTW's localization can be so annoying sometimes.
