Nice to see Madoka beat the shit out of someone, haven't seen that in a while. It's amazing how childish Hikaru can be, and she just now noticed that Madoka and Kyosuke are into each other.. wow.

The new op and ed were amazing, really unique.

The episode itself was fairly good too.

I'll have to check the new OP and ED, but I liked the episode.
I felt like I was bad person when I liked seeing Hikaru suffering because she saw Kyosuke and Madoka. I'm sorry for her, but THAT'S PLOT DEVELOPMENT FOR YA.

Orange Mirage, the op from ep 20 was used as a background song for the previous episodes for some time.

Madoka sure looks good in that tennis outfit. But of course, she looks good in everything.

That Kitakata guy got what was coming to him after getting too close to Madoka.

I almost thought it was BL between Kasuga and that upperclassman.

I'm surprised by my reaction to this. Hikaru had no chemistry with Kasuga whatsoever, and it's obvious that he has his mind somewhere else, and we the viewers also don't ship them.
But I felt sad in this, and the story's getting more romantic. Maybe it's because Hikaru's always noisy and loud, so a long sequence of her being quiet really struck.
Also, I always like Hikaru, she's pretty fun. But I think it's time to get her more involved in the triangle. I'm guessing this show will pull something like a Toradora, where the girls care for each other and don't want to encroach on the other's love interest.

what's with the 80s and sexual harassment? You know AIDS was around?

Throwing an oar to a drowning girl though. I love this sempai. Please come back.

First time I like Madoka fighting. How she rocked such a lame sleeping outfit and beat the hell out of the guy is badass.

Holy shit, both sets of OP/ED for this show have been top notch.

Other posters have been saying it best. The romance in this show, without our knowing, has gotten really good.

That next ep looks intense.

This is the best opening for the show, It’s Nagashima Hideyuki - Orange Mystery. Though I think the first Ending is the best one.

This is the beginning of season 2, so the OP and ED changed. It'll change again in the 3rd season too. But to your comment about it being a "preview," I'd say it is more of a music video. Remember MTV was new back then, and music videos were a new trend.

That small opening sequence that was the same since episode 1-19 got replaced by a preview of the episode? I didn't see anything like this anywhere else. Not a big fan. I'd rather just watch the episode and find out what's happening instead of being shown a highlight reel.

I am a fan of the new OP and ED though. OP2 is somehow more seizure inducing than the last one and I'm gonna miss "Take me to Summer Side". The ED2 animation is... unique. I'm gonna miss ED1 a lot too.

No, Kyosuke, there's no "homerun" in tennis. That'd be baseball :/
That tennis coach is a creep. This episode also had a return of the delinquent Madoka the Pick (whatever that means) with her kicking the tennis guy's ass in a long time so that was appreciated.

Overall a great episode and I loved seeing Madoka training Kyosuke :3

Next episode looks like Kyosuke will finally become a gigolo.

Kurumi at it again. lmao

The sempai flirted with Kyōsuke, Hikaru, then Madoka.

With Kyōsuke, it felt like BL. lol

With Hiraku, it endangered her.

With Madoka, well, it serves him right. He went from cool looking to a loser.

-----

I will miss the first OP and ED, but the animation in both the new OP and ED is stunning.

That rapist was properly dealt with, but where are the teachers? Who sends half a school's worth of students to a summer camp with no chaperones?

1. Kyousuke taking a close look at Madoka's outfit like it's the normal thing to do. And apparently, Madoka doesn't notice or doesn't mind.

2. Madoka teaching Kyousuke scene was intense. Anyone, even Hikaru, who saw that wouldn't be able to dismiss it so easily.

3. Harems are hard to watch especially if the show has any level of character development. Hikaru's heart is going to break sooner or later. The later it is, the worse it will be.The fallout possible souring whatever relationship is developing between Madoka and Kyousuke.
