THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

It is episodes like this that remind you how old fashion this series is. Well it does reflect its age I suppose. There's something about the way they used to do things back then that is appealing though. It's a pity this is all gone now...

This arc better go fast 'cause the best part of the story is about to come and we're already halfway into the series.
There had better be NO MORE FILLERS!



Kyoko hugging that pillow is too cute.

Less those tenants and more godai x kyoko makes outstanding episodes. Most satisfying episode ever made.

I think it's more a sign of a good adaptation that feels like a proper TV show, rather than play out like an animated manga, which is what the vast majority of anime series are these days.

Last 4 minutes made this episode worth it. How could Kyoko not know now?
Still feel bad for Kozue, kind of awkward.


Also finally halfway through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could her parents be anymore obvious that they want Kyoko to stay with them lol
OMG Godai's declaration sure was something! I still can't believe Kyoko's parents didn't connect the dots ( ...or did they?...)
And Kyoko... STILL?! How are you not ready yet?!

Also, Mr.Ichinose's love story was quite unexpected. He was interested with someone else but ended up with now Mrs.Ichinose because of her proposal...and the power of sake lol

After the previous awful episode, now we're getting one of the best ones. It was practically perfect.

Godai dressed all smart and we got an awkward mix of a confession and miai. I was expecting the father to say something like "she sounds like she has a lot in common with our Kyouko", which would escalate the tension even higher. I wonder if they figured out what Godai meant and just played dumb, or were they really oblivious.

Next episode, looks like the annoying trio is gonna torment Mitaka for a change. I'm not sure what to expect.

Kozue has been a victim of Godai's indecisiveness since the beginning. Godai should have left the poor girl alone 40 episodes ago.

Yes!! I'm so happy Godai finaly had the nerves to admit it, i was pausing it when he was about to say it, i couden't handle the excitement :D

Now that i've seen 50% of this anime, i can safely say that i really love Maison Ikkoku this anime makes me feel things no other anime has before.

They forgot to mention that Mr. Ichinoses crush was aleady engaged at the time they held that party and that her fiance was actually a coworker and sitting next to her on that party.

And wow, he indirectly dumped Kozue in front of Kyoko and her parents.

LMFAO this man is in a forced relationship and he's probably saying he's happy just to say but deep down it still hurts him how his life played out.

That's really neat declaration of love from Godai. I'm pretty sure Kyoko and her parents know that he is referring to Kyoko herself. Godai sure knows how to act in front of her parents.

Mr. Ichinose (Kentaro's dad, Hanae's husband) seems like a cool dude, his backstory was stupid but at least it gave Godai some motivation to make some progress with Kyouko. There are very few secondary characters in this show who are even remotely likable. Still this was a very good episode.

That was a dull and almost wasteful episode if it weren't for Hanae's husband basically telling Yuusaku to stop chasing after illusions and make things happen.

Next episode, Shun and Dogs, I hope it's good.
