Their Asu no Yoichi sub wasn't all that bad either.

Ok, I watched 11 and 12... and they were as good as qq's...If I didn't know that it was from Coalguys, I wouldn't be able to tell a difference between them.
both eps were really funny and good btw...
I'm getting the rest from them too now.

That was a very awkward yet decent episode. The confusion continues. Maybe that Student President already has a BF, or she's moving. The guessing game continues.
I agree... but Kitamaru's behavior is really werid, I wonder if he is about to become a so called "Hikikomori"... but on the other hand, he is not trying to hide from social contacts or something.Originally Posted by animus

Woah, what the.... that was kinda cool!
For me this episode by far is the best.
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
Wait, what? I wasn't aware that Kitamura confessed to/liked Aisaka before. Am I missing something?
yes you are... thats why Taiga loves Kitamaru.
She rejected him but later realized that she likes him too, or at least she thinks so
but if you ask me, it's more like a "he loves/loved me and that's why I love him too"-reaction from Taiga.
btw it was explained in episode 4... he even got a picture from Taiga in his wallet, because it was his first love or something
edit: I really want to see the next episode..
the ending of this one was really good, but I couldn't really make out what Ami and Minorin were thinking.
I think Minorin has feelings for Ryuuji but felt guilty to show them, because she doesn't want to take him away from Taiga, which is why she always interrupted Ryuuji when he was about to offer his feelings towards her.
And now that she spotted the picture of Kitamura in her ID card she knows that she doesn't have to hold back.
I really wonder what Ami is going to do now, she seems very angry (when she asked if Minorins feelings of guilt are gone)...or was she even crying? oh man I really feel sad for her. I wonder what her role will look like in the future
my poor Ami-chan... she's my favorite character because she is the only one who knows what's going on and not so stupid like the rest.
I'd feel bad if she doesn't get a happy ending, because she deserves it.

I´ll say it now: Aisaka and Ryuuji will end up being together. Kitamura just lost any rights of becoming Taiga´s boy friend after this episode.
I totally loved how Taiga openly started an attack against Kanou, haha. Unfortunately, Kitamura doesnt seem to have understood why Taiga fought...or maybe we´ll see that next time.
My favorite couple would still be Ryuuji and Ami, but that would be really surprising. Ami has "support character" written all over her face.
I forgot to mention I noticed it in the previous episode. Minorin was acting really weird towards Takasu when the two were out searching for Kitamura by the river.the ending of this one was really good, but I couldn't really make out what Ami and Minorin were thinking.

Ryuuji called her kind, and she immediately refuted it, saying she was actually very arrogant and dishonest.
Minorin really does secretly like Ryuuji (maybe not at first, but certainly recently), but she's been keeping it locked away to force Taiga and Ryuuji together. She knows more about Taiga than anyone else, and perhaps has foreseen that the only person who seems to be able to connect to Taiga is Ryuuji. Minorin was definitely not allowing Ryuuji to confess to her at any point. She knew he liked her, but couldn't allow that to mess up the plan she started working on. While Taiga and Ryuuji were conspiring to help each other in love, Minorin already knew and was trying to foul it up.
I think what Ami meant here is that Minorin felt guilty about crushing her own feelings to force Taiga and Ryuuji together, but now that Kanou has admitted she liked Kitamura too, Taiga's chances of getting together with Kitamura are all but dead. Now Minorin doesn't have to feel guilty, since it turns out she was right. Ryuuji is the only way that Taiga might end up happy.
Minorin didn't see the picture inside, but the other two mentioning it were enough to reveal it. I don't think Minorin is going to go after Ryuuji now. If anything, she's going to withdraw from him even more.
I can't say I know exactly what is going on in Ami's head now. She was angry, but I'm just not sure about what.
Murphy strikes back!
I give in and watch coal subs, and an hour later, qq puts out episode 11
what to do? who to archive?
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I'd go for qq... but it doesn't really matter.
both are very good in my opinion
so archive qq and watch coal's when they are out. (if qq doesn't catch up)
Lol that was pretty awesome. It's not every day you see chicks coming to bloody blows in a romance/comedy. When did Ami start being worthy of a relationship though? I've always liked her for being relatively upfront about her manipulative bitch persona (at least to us) but I don't necessarily think she should get rewarded (i.e. a relationship) for that. She seems to enjoy being a bitch too much for me to totally forgive her behavior.
I like the Kitamura-Kanou resolution, I liked her from the beginning so any way in which she can be happy is good enough for me. I'm not sure what Taiga will do now but she didn't seem 100% ready to give up though it would be pretty low to try and snipe Kitamura away from his long distance gf. Takasu seems doomed though, Minorin will probably pull away even more for Taiga's sake, Taiga isn't exactly the greatest relationship choice in the world, and Ami is....Ami. On paper she's cool and sexy but really what's the point in being in a relationship with someone like her? Whatever happens though, drama should be in great supply.
What's wrong with Ami?
Putting all of the physical hotness aside, it seems that she is the deepest thinker and maybe even the most mature of the bunch. She does have her insecurities, but that goes for everyone (although she has slightly larger problems than others), especially the main cast of this show.
If Ryuuji has a relationship with Ami, I think they would match up pretty well, with Ami being able to open up more because of Ryuuji's upfront and simple personality, and Ryuuji will learn how to handle himself less like an emotional child in certain situations.
I never minded girls acting bitchy to a certain extent, as long as they have substance other than that facet of their personality, and qualities that overshadow it. Intellect and overall sensitivity (though not acted upon) are things Ami has going for her. And let us not forget the hotness that we put aside earlier. The way she flaunts her looks also serves for great fun and is a point of interest in her character.
The complexity of how she tries to act all cute and nice in order to be seen as a good person and to convince herself that she is mature, yet at the same time secretly wishing that someone would notice her as childish for doing so also adds depth to her character.
...Yes, you can now tag me as an Ami fan.
Peace.
No one had hints at Minorin being interrested in Kitamura?
It seemed pretty obvious to me (but I can be wrong) that this is absolutely not by chance that Minorin is near Kitamura quite a bit.
That would be quite in tune with what Ami told her.
But again, I might just have seen things that didn't exist in the first place.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Is she? hmm... why and when?She seems to enjoy being a bitch too much for me to totally forgive her behavior.
In the latest episodes she seemed to have changed, sure thing - she enjoys being in the middle of everything, I guess you need that attitude if you want to be a model... and she argues alot with Taiga, which is a given if you consider their relationship, but she is pretty "normal" (I don't see it as an act anymore) when she is around her 2 friends (that girl with purple hair and the other one with orange hair, who seems to like Kitamura btw)
and when she is around Takasu she is doing pretty well too.
Bitchiness is just what I see when I look at Ami taking most actions. I hold characters accountable for the behavior they feel the need to display on the surface so I often don't bother looking too deep into characters if their surface personalities turn me off to them too much. At Ami's initial introduction she came across as a shifty trickster who basked in attention and praise. That impression has stuck with me ever since. Because of that as well as her established skill in pretending I find it hard to trust her behaviors as genuine so I don't buy into scenes where she is supposedly 'opening up' or being a decent human being. They always end up feeling like veiled attempts at manipulation to me.
I hear a lot of people talk about Ami's supposed matureness but I think that she's just more insightful than the rest of the cast, however the way she uses her insight often comes across as more vindictive than supportive to me. I don't see it as a sign of maturity for someone to go around rubbing peoples faces into their problems in that mocking tone she typically uses. Now I once again admit that I am strongly biased by the fact that she destroyed all my trust in her early on and that I am rationalizing any helpful or supportive behavior on her part as having some self-centered intentions behind it. I often agree with some of the harsh things that she says but I just can't see her as being harsh because she wants to help, I see it as being harsh because she likes lording it over everyone that she's so great and they aren't (Inferiority Complex).
Now with all that said I don't have much of a problem with Ami being what I think she is just as a person. But because I think she is being deceptive constantly I don't think it would be right to subject a seemingly open and honest person to that sort of situation. I do like Ami and I want her to be happy, but I don't want to watch a decent person have to struggle uphill against her personality, likely a miserable undertaking, for it to happen (unless they had a crush on her anyway). That's why I'm against Ami and Takasu and also why I'm somewhat against Taiga and Takasu. If girls have prickly personalities then more power to them, but I don't particularly enjoy seeing regular Joe's like Takasu have to suffer their thorns and comfort them just because they can't stop being prickly on their own.

Well about Ami it might be true that she has other motives but I don't know, took a glance at the novels that cover up to this point in the anime and it seems to me that she's genuinely trying to change herself. And so far she been far less bitchy and been more normal, for example her tone when she talked to Kitamura after accidentally slapping him. She does however seem to still hold back a lot of what she feels and thinks, example when she was trying to ask Ryuuji to the beach since she just left instead of repeating it or the fact that she was angry with herself for saying that to minorin, at least that's what my impression was.
And about Kanou and Kitamura were I the only one who thought they didn't start dating? To me it seemed like they wrapped up their feelings but didn't start anything because of the distance. If they got together it would make no sense that Kitamura got an award of the most pitiful guy at school.
As for Minorin my impression was that Ami meant that she didn't have to feel guilty about liking him. And by saying that Minorin can act more on that feeling than before, it's not like she's run away that much from him. Withdrawing more from him when she knows Taiga likes Kitamura and not Ryuuji is kind of stupid since I had the impression that Minorin though Taiga liked Ryuuji, hence the guilt. Just my take on it.
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
