    By all means this wasn't the most hilarious episode to date, but I didn't find that to be a letdown. We have Minato's little backstory of what the Student Council means to her, and this time we got to see Chizuru's side of things.

    Mafuyu would get her episode too judging from the trends, but I can't really see anything troubling her other than an undefeatable Final Boss.

    This certainly wasn't an overly comedic episode. I also thought the beginning was a part of some fancy fiction again, like we have seen before, but it indeed seemed like real history. Although it's hard to imagine what could have troubled Ken that much.

    At least there were a few good scenes scattered here and there.

    I'm not on it for the backstory or the pseudo teenage drama, i'm in it for the lols and in that this episode failed miserably

    Again i stress this, if i want drama i'll go watch a slice of life anime but what i was "promised" from the first episode was mindless comedy with a side of funny anime references

    I wish the producers recognized their target audience once and for all and worked on it instead of trying to be all over the place and failing on both fronts

    I for one actually liked some of this back story. While I feel they may have been overly dramatic in presentation, inserting a bit of character development here and there is hardly a bad thing. I wouldn't want flat characters without any deeper personalities running around doing gags the whole time.

    Does the fact that he opened up to Mokyu~ mean that he is closest to her among all the girls? Or is it simply because she is the only one who he thinks will understand? Is there even a difference between these two possibilities?

    I think, in general Chizuru understands Prez and Ken the best, though I'm not sure if this is simply due to her more mature nature. I didn't include Mafutu and Minato because being sisters, one would expect them to understand each other the most.

    Ken still says he's going for a harem ending, but on multiple occasions I got the feeling he just wants everybody to be happy.

    I actually don't mind a bit of seriousness in the series, but yes... the best part of it are its constant jokes and parodies.

    And Im still loony for Minatsu. I LOLed when she pushed Kurumi trying to cover her own jealousness.

    strangely, after complaining and complaining and complaining some more about the angst/drama that this show fluctuates in on at least a monthly basis, i enjoyed this episode. i think it was because Chizuru is such a mysterious character that i was genuinely interested to see what her ghosts from the past were, and how she would deal with it.

    but, seriously, what kind of people react like this? we're talking biblical levels of calm, forgiveness, and sincerity. in high schoolers. in what's supposed to be a comedy.

    i also think i am fine with this being a serious episode because i have a dose of comic relief on tap with a freshly downloaded episode of Nyan Koi

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    And looks like Sugisaki was right on with his novel a few eps ago. Where in his story Mafuyu didnt wear panties and turns out...she really doesn't.

    Kamina FTW

    Personally I completely loved the episode. Don't know what you were expecting though... another Kampfer?

    I laugh at almost every if not every joke pretty much.

    They're stupid and pointless, but I still enjoy them. It's a witty sort ot pointless, not unlike Ken himself.

    And who didn't think that first smack came from Minatsu?

    Most people don't really enjoy wit. I love it though.

    Like i said time and time again this series pulled me for their wacky and silly humor reference humor and then went half serious on me in the middle of the season

    If they had stated from the beginning there was going to be a dose high school drama as well i might have approached it with a different set of mind but to do it mid season out of the blue just annoyed me deeply

    Why can't you change your mindset now? If I remember correctly we had a previous thread about series that change their genre halfway through. This isn't the same, but it's nothing new for series to take a sudden turn at times. As long as it doesn't turn to crap, I can generally like things for what they are.

    ^ That doesn't really apply here though, since I like character backstory anyway.

    At first I was a bit confused about that whole snow sequence. During the episode though, they told us that Mafuyu operates on a blog site and may even have a degree of fame on the internet. Ken probably consulted her (known as Yuki), and decided to meet her IRL. Turned out she was late (or he was early), and Student Council Ken + Online Persona = Mafuyu confession.

    I always thought Mafuyu was really cute (in general, I think I like her even more than Chizuru). This episode only solidified that fact.
