| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy shit, that was fast. 5 minutes in and already kissing. Pool episode too. The girl looks cute <3 especially Mitsuki imo. Overall, I find episode pretty fun. Mitsuki, watch where you're going ;o The shopping date is kinda cute too. Heh, I wasn't expecting that ending. |
 |
| Saw it coming. Since last episode "suffered" from lack of fanservice, this one "had" to have it 10 times more, especially since it was a pool episode and all. Shizuku's choice in sunglasses never fails to make me chuckle. |
| Beautiful end card of Yuu and Haruka sitting on the park bench! http://satake.bglb.jp:81/cap/140221-0306550015-1440x810.jpg |

| Darn, I can't decide whose bikini and figure was better this episode, Kotone or Harupoppo. By the way, do you always have a whip on you Kotone? Cause that's...you know...pretty nice. Nice episode, lots of fanservice, some kissing and Kaeda seemed to be catching on the whole thing going behind the scenes if my Japanese was enough to decipher the general meaning of what she said. 5/5. Another long wait for next week... |

| Yes, Kotone is rich. In fact, she is really, really rich. Various sources describe her as a "zaibatsu no reijō" (財閥の令嬢). Basically, she is the daughter in a family which owns a huge company. The Japanese word "zaibatsu" (財閥) does not have a specific translation into English. This is partly because the phenomenon of such huge companies is distinctive to Japan, especially before the war. Here is a detailed explanation about what zaibatsu are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaibatsu Here is a webpage with information about Kotone, and you can see the part where it says 財閥の令嬢 http://neoapo.com/characters/20018 I don't know the original source of this information about Kotone, but I guess it must be revealed somewhere in the manga. At 05:20 in Episode 1 of Kitakubu (2013), Claire Kokonoe is introduced as a zaibatsu no reijō. There were many clues that she was incredibly rich. In Best Student Council (2005), the family of Student Council President Kanade owns a zaibatsu. Kanade could afford to start her own high school. |

| ^ That sales projection website is awesome. I just bookmarked it. |
| 1. Nice swimsuit fan service. 2. wonder where yuu x haruka will kiss next. 3. I hope kotone's engagement gets serious. 6/10 |
| Thank you lord, a pool episode from an anime about girls making out. Just, thank you lord. |
 |
| Kotone's engaged? I smell a little bit of drama. |
| I can't get enough of Mitsuki. Interesting that Kotone is engaged. |
 |
| Nice fanservice. Harupoppo is the best. Don't know why people care if there is fanservice in this show especially. Yuu annoyed the crap out of me in the second half though. |

| Cute episode, as always~! > W< The bikinis the girls wore were so cute! x3 The many kissing scenes were also super adorable.....god I love yuri. x3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Aww I'm really starting to dislike Yuu, but I really want to see this show too the end. Large stuffed animals become heavy when drenched in water. Who knew? |
 |
| Such a loud sound when she slammed Yuu's clothes on her desk :P Almost caught XD Underwater kiss :O Everyone is looking so good in their suits, on that note I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't any one pieces. Were the heck she get the whip! 0_0 Engagement, that's an interesting twist. Oh damn Shizuku spilled the beans, I was expecting Yuu and Haruka to get caught first. Well nevermind they didn't really even notice XD Yuu and Shizuku have such similar taste, but totally different personalities. That clerk was such a pro, but the orange one spoke to Yuu :P The Prez literally exploded after seeing Haruka wearing her old neck warmer, that was hilarious :D |
AggronFeb 21, 2014 9:19 PM
| Well, finally some real drama from Kotone and family. And I really like that Kotone and even Shizuku aren't hiding their love! Buuuut… mixed in with the most ridiculous nonsense on the show so far. Even for this show, it's a bit much. You know who I think had the best bikini body? Kaede. |
 |
| Kissing within the first 2 minutes? That's fast! Though, they almost got caught.. Underwater kiss too? Do they not care about their lives? XD Everyone got some nice swimsuits though! President loses her glasses. Goes underwater. Finds it. Loses her bra in process. Nice! :p Kotone prepares to give Mitsuki and Haruka a crash course of swimming. Kotone: "Looks like they don't have enough motivation... Hello? Bring me the you-know-what?" XD New character. A middle schooler named Shinobu, Kotone's little sister. Kotone is getting engaged? Shizuku is upset. President finds a way to settle the conflict. :) A swimming contest it is. Expected Shizuku to win. Shinobu couldn't have won anyways. Yuzu & Kaede discusses Kotone & Shizuku's kiss.. Scarf shopping. Haruka wants that dress so bad. Yuu-chan totally busted Haruka about her weight. XD. The clerk appears to be pro! Though, Yuu-changed her mind soon after.. Oh, are we missing something? Oh, yes. A kissing scene. Much needed. Love it though. :) President gets too hype about Haruka a lot. A love triangle may form in future. "Malfunction Continued" section was nice! Poor Kaede barely gets any airtime. X'D |
 |
| indoor pool? wth! |
    |
| Drama is unfolding on the other side of the pool. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is still doing flutter kicks. That made me laugh, I honestly forgot about her lol. Yuu and Haruka really don't care where they kiss, do they haha :p Underwater where, you know, you can still be seen and in the dressing room of a shop...not even in the room, it's half and half. The thrill of being found out :D Kotone has a fiance but is in love with Shizuku who happens to be a relative. Doujins where are you?! Or maybe an official spin-off please. Seriously this just screams "proper serious yuri story"! Someone make it happen! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Fine fanserv episode, but next one seems better. |
 |
| when the president saw Haruka wearing her neck warmer.... the most intense of explosions happened. |
| why am I watching this cishetmale-pandering lol Well, at least It's a visual candy n_n I'd like to see more of Kaede and Yuzu personally, they're cool |
htsuji said: It is so tricky that some fansubbers seemed to be tricked. htsuji said: If Shinobu won, Kaede would have said, "Okay, now that Shizuku is going to live in your home, Shinobu." So it wasn't quite as ridiculous as I thought? |
|
| perhaps.. Kaede is trying to hint at something else to our Citrus fruit friend lol. I cant really see Kotone being taken away from Shizuku either ... drama or no they will likely wind up together. And Haruka and the changing room kiss ~ |
| Kotone x Shizuku drama 10/10. Loved the first half of the ep. Mitsuki x Haruka should be a couple D:< |
| The triangle between Kotone, her fiancé and Shizuku is a trope that comes up fairly often in traditional serious Yuri fiction. It dates back a century in the "Class S" (クラスS) genre of Japanese Lesbian literature. My guess is that it is only going to be played for laughs in Sakura Trick. However, one of the best sources of tragedy in old-fashioned Yuri was when tradition, duty and family expectations were in irresolvable conflict with love. In 1970s Yuri, it was standard that the older "cool" girl would somehow die at the end of the story. Here is a list of Yuri stories (anime series unless otherwise specified) that incorporate this classic trope: Charlotte in "The Rose of Versailles" (1979/ベルサイユのばら) Melissa Mao in "Full Metal Panic!" (2002) Sachiko Ogasawara in "Maria-sama ga Miteru" (2004/マリア様がみてる) Konoka Konoe in "Mahō Sensei Negima!" (2005/魔法先生ネギま!) Princess Nina in "flower*flower" (2005/manga/花戀花/author: 石见翔子) Miyuki Rokujō in "Strawberry Panic" (2006) "The Promised Finger" (2007/約束の指/manga/author:柚葉せいろ/Seiro Yuzuha) Kyōko in "Aoi Hana" (2009/青い花/Sweet Blue Flowers) Yuuki Minami in Episode 10 of "Kanamemo" (2009/かなめも) "Marriage Black" (2010/manga/マリッジ・ブラック/author:速瀬羽柴) Jenny Dolittle in "Miniskirt Space Pirates" (2012/ミニスカ宇宙海賊) Merida Dunbroch in "Brave" (2012, Pixar Studios) Kotone Noda in "Sakura Trick" (2014) I don't know those stories well enough to guarantee the accuracy of that list, so please check for yourself. Also, don't forget about all of the Yuri novels prior to the first Yuri manga, "Shiroi Heya no Futari" (1971/白い部屋のふたり).

| Yuu-chan was so cute in 2nd half and that kiss in the dressing room <3 <3 <3 |
okanagan said: ^ That sales projection website is awesome. I just bookmarked it. Thats why I made it, I used to post these things in the sales threads, but this seems easier. To keep this ontopic. I should note that even though Sakura trick is lowly estimated on Amazon.jp(as I listed). Its doing really good at Gamers, better than all other winter titles. So it still has a chance at selling decently(3k-4k~). Since yuri romance series tend to do really badly, this might be a first for the genre. Or at least I'm hoping it'll be, since it'll give me hope for a sisterism anime(another series that combines yuri romance with cute girls doing cute things). |
| Wow Yuu is really picky isn't she? |
| Rederoin said: Sakura trick is . . . doing really good at Gamers, better than all other winter titles. So it still has a chance at selling decently(3k-4k~). Interesting! I wonder whether "The Legendary Girl A" (otaku girl Konata Izumi in Lucky Star) is going to buy a copy! (more likely three copies) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrv9d7LBzu0 Rederoin also said: yuri romance series tend to do really badly It seems that the world has changed a lot. In 1979, they made 40 episodes of "The Rose of Versailles". In 1991 they made 39 episodes of "Oniisame e...". And starting in 2004 they made four seasons of Maria-sama ga Miteru. Also, thank you for pointing out the manga "Sisterism" (しまいずむ) by Akihito Yoshitomi (吉富昭仁). I had not been aware of it. |
okanaganFeb 22, 2014 6:20 PM
| http://www.freeimagehosting.net/3lxld I don't mind having Kotone as my coach; nope, not at all. Drama about Kotone and Shizuku relationship, huh. Wish it was more developed, though. Highlight of this eps: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/sjs74 Mitsuki's explosion. oh, poor Kaede in the ending section, albeit it was so hilarious. I wonder where Haruka and Yuu will kiss next. |
| Warning: Spoiler Alert! Here is the summary for Episode 8: |
okanaganFeb 22, 2014 9:23 PM
| Let me be honest: I hate Yuu. She is the worst thing about this show and I find myself constantly wishing Haruka would dump her for Mitsuki. Oh well, at least we get canon yuri kisses. And a few of them are Kotone and Shizuku, who are adorable together. This episode punched me in the feels because of them...=<. Kotone, break off that stupid engagement. |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
fanshii said: why am I watching this cishetmale-pandering lol Well, at least It's a visual candy n_n I'd like to see more of Kaede and Yuzu personally, they're cool As a bi woman I think you're an idiot. |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| 5 mins in and let the kissing begin! Kyuutoryuu said: Thank you lord, a pool episode from an anime about girls making out. Just, thank you lord. Lol this ^ THANKS! All dat fanservice Kotone rich and also engaged? wow. Shopping date. Shizuku already taken the scarf Yuu wanted, and Yuu complaining about wanting the same one.. but ends up getting something completely different lol. but meh, another kiss! :D lol that ending, certainly unexpected. |
