[Koharubi] Hatsukoi Limited - 10 - MKV
For those of you who can't wait; I have yet to see er and can't comment on quality.
Edit: Quality was perfect for me, and what an amazing episode!
Not disappointed with the series at all; I wonder how Saki-nee will be resolved however. Its gonna be good.
It's certainly one helluva rough ride, the relationship between those two. As amusing as it is often, I still hope it would move somewhere soon. Maybe it will, after the shock moment at the end of this episode. Or maybe it won't seeing how the series will end in two episodes...
Hmm, this episode jumped around a lot, but the main focus is still Kei and Kusada. After what was said at the end, however, I wonder how strained their relationship will become now.
Yes, I found that too, and I can't say I liked such a content-packed episode as much as I liked the others. Like Shinta said, the delivery's always been really good, knowing exactly when and how to deliver the story, rather than how twisted or full of development the plot can be.Quote:

While it was nice to have them talking and such, there weren't many times this episode where they settled long enough for me to get in the mood so to speak.
It was still funny though. I sure wouldn't be able to compliment big boobs with such a straight face. Kusuda gettingcockteased the whole time kept me smirking too. ("Those won't work, you need BOOBS!") :p
Kayoi and what's-her-face acting in tandem were sort of cute. It really puts them in the backseat though, but that's not exactly inappropriate with the current story focus. There's enough happening already.
I don't know if I'm reading to deeply, but the episode didn't end on a negative note for me, nor a cliffhanger. At a glance, it might seem like the roles are reversed, and Kusuda said something too harsh, like what Kei did with the mittens.
Looking more closely, Kei's fit of anger/sorrow stopped, Kusuda blushed, and Kei's answer was more in surprise/I don't know what to say rather than feeling rejected.
"Then just leave me alone! You're always giving me hope- You're the type I hate the most!!"
You're always giving me hope-
aka
"I like you!" - the confession's finally out. :D
Kusuda is a lucky mofo, getting to bury his face in the valley like that.
Agreed Marik, were I in his shoes (but not hopelessly smitten with Kei) I'd be trying to get close to that theater chick without missing a beat. She has so many of my favorite appearance and character design draws it almost feels unfair. Hopefully she'll be squeezed in for a few more scenes but I doubt it'll be much since she was introduced too late to get developed beyond being a catalyst for a relationship change between the mains.
Watching that final scene I was hoping to see a tearful running away from Kei instead of what we got. Since we're nearing the end I figure they'll either have her 'woman up' finally or give her one more power talk from one of the older girls before she lays it out with Kusuda and they can go happily off into the sunset hand in hand.... /cries in agony
Funnily enough, despite Dobashi and Kei's imperfect handling of their own relationships, mutual counseling works out since they're like polar opposites.
Poor Misao's got no chance. He doesn't even get screen time anymore.
so, i started watching this series, at episode 6 right now.
so far, the only girl i really hate is arihara from episode one...i mean, wtf, shes a complete bitch. Misao might by evil-looking, but hes actually really nice. she only judges by looks. Hope she wont get Zaitsu-kun, i would hate it.
-Kei almost falling out of the train was the best part for me. She certainly would have too, if there were any less than 3 girls holding her back.
Guess I over/misread the expressions last time. *must take things at face value*
-Since I'm sure Kei x Kusuda will work out somehow, the biggest cliffhanger was the preview. Mamoru vs Misao.
He'd better make a grand entrance saving Arihara from a wild boar or something :p
Same for me, along with her crying in the street while admitting her feelings.Quote:

Can't discard that just yet! Ayumi will probably reconsider!
I like the way they said they were "going on a journey to change themselves", only to be met with hunger pains and chasing wild boars. What a journey, indeed.
What the heck kind of wild boars were those anyway? Right in the middle of rice fields and chasing people... Looks like they should have made far more stew back in the village.
Seems like Kei indeed only heard the last part of Kusuda's speech. Still, there's really no way for that pairing to fail, especially if Kei intends to be honest.

I wasn't able to wait and watched that version.
I wonder if there are some OAVs forecasted.
Strip that show from fanservice, and you have a nice little gem. I'm glad I watched it.
Even if you could always argue they could have detailed some parts, it's more in line with what happens in teenagers minds when they discover love. Or maybe more in line with what I think I know of that time frame... I'm cautious, after all I'm already a geezer :D
-I cracked too.
-Well it was all to be expected that everybody heals or moves on after the trip. Does Mamoru still love Misaki then? "Picking himself up" means to stop acting like trash, but his response shows maybe he hasn't quite given up yet, like Ayumi.
-Dobashi was pretty damn out of character there. I would have called it an act, like her vending machine scene, if it wasn't for the comments later.
-Good to see having a partner hasn't stopped Kusuda enjoying his H-collection one bit :D
-At the beginning I was a diehard Misaki fan and would have broken something at this ending. By the end, I just didn't care enough for her though. I probably got bored at how easily she attracted men. It doesn't bother me one bit if they expand her part in an OVA or not, as long as they do a bit on Kei and Chikura.
I actually like the fanservice there. It (and the jokes) are what's keeping this from becoming a "serious" romance drama. It's about first love for teenagers, fun and enjoyable.Quote:

ahh what an awesome ending to such a great series!
definitely a 9/10. I really hope there's some kind of dvd ova extra released.
