| Finally, things are starting to get interesting! The BGM at the end of the episode is just too goddamn beautiful. I want the OST already! And looks like Haruka is finally caring for Sora like he should have been from the very beginning: ![]() Sora has a bad dream... ![]() ...and Haruka comforts her. Haruka crying must have been from the shock. I actually praise him for not being the same horndog he was back in Nao's arc and jerking it right there. |

He still was to a certain though with his dreams/flashbacks. Also I loved the nice zoom in of Sora/Haru's mother she looks so much like them it's amazing what DNA produces. Haruka crying must have been from the shock. I actually praise him for not being the same horndog he was back in Nao's arc and jerking it right there. |

You're discriminating against Sora... -_- Lol, I guess they felt that it had to be censored :P Well, this episode did a pretty darn good job with building up the tension, especially with Haru's shocked reaction at the end of the episode. Oh man, though, this plot will probably turn out really messy; Sounds fun :P From the next episode preview, I'm guessing the plot really goes all out with the forbidden love theme, etc. I can see the trainwreck coming.... :x |
If you clicked on this spoiler, you either a) accidentally thought it was a screenshot. Very unlikely, but possible >:3 b) "curiosity killed the cat" c) none of the above, which is very much possible (though unlikely) Either ways, since you're already here you should visit my awesome anime blog that I write for. Yes, I'm blatantly advertising, but that's what makes it fun ;) |

| Finally Sora's arc Those censors geeze and I wanted to see the scene in it's entirety, that was beautiful to say the least. Haru should have been caring for Sora from square one. Haru crying is embarrassing be a man and enjoy your sister moaning she's desperate for you. |

| The censorship is probably to promote people buying the BDs. They can get away with that since they know Sora's the most popular girl. Is the ATX censored, though? edit: downloaded ATX raw, skipped to Sora scene, looks like it is. Boy will I be anticipating BD release. |

I'm sure you're right on about the self-disgust. |

| YESS!!!! We get to see sora masturbating! "Visual Novel"-DOORI I really don't appreciate Nao taking this much screen time in this arc which doesn't belong to her, but since she's not making Sora mad (for now at least) I suppose I can live with it. .....ah wait no I won't. Because there'll be another girl involved in the arc, taking away more of the screentime. I didn't mind Nao during her arc, just because it was her arc, but if Haru doesn't return Sora's feelings within 15 minutes of the next ep i'm gonna get pissed. Also, I predict the existence of Kozue haters emerging during the next 2 eps. |

| I knew it, I just KNEW the fucking japs would censor Sora's H-scenes. And why the hell is there so much Nao in this arc ? I can't wait for the 4th BD to come out at the end of March so we can see Sora's arc as it was meant to be seen. ...And in other news: Sora has a delicious looking ass. |

| Now then, I've skipped to triting a reply because I know what the posts above (and undoubtedly, below) contain: WHY IS THAT FOUR-EYED BITCH STILL HERE!?! IT'S SORA'S ARC GET OUT FFS!. Or something to that effect. My own personal thoughts on the episode were pretty much meh. Nothing truly impressive yet. Infuriated by the censors though. I mean, you can't show tits on a masturbating girl fantacizing about her brother but are perfectly okay displaying the extra character's boobs? Then again, there will most likely be a better release using uncensored footage... Oh, and Haru has cemented himself in my eyes as a basically worthless dipshit. That or an extreme case of radioactive gigantic ants in his pants. "EEP, SORA - MY SISTER (who I've kissed amorously at least once in the past) - CAME WITHIN BREATHING DISTANCE, I MUST BACK AWAY AT ONCE IGNORING ANY OBSTACLES I MAY COME ACROSS!" FFFFFFUUUUUUU- Okay, after having read the thread I see my prediction was off. On the subject at hand I'd say that it is most likely self-deprecation with a touch of vomit he's trying to cover up. That doesn't mean however, that someone can't make a gif starting with Sora fiddling the chasm, then cutting to Haru and words "TEARS...OF...JOY" appearing. |

| Sora's definitely the hottest girl in this series :)).. I didn;t watch Nao's arc.. but I think I'll watch it coz looks like Sora's arc is continued from her arc.. so little screen time for Sora but so much for Nao even though this is her arc.. that pisses me off.. And about Haru crying, I can;t see the reason why but my guess is probably because he thinks it's his fault that Sora turned out that way, and didn't realize Sora's feelings, anyway, gonna watch the Nao arc for now.. |

In fact I think seeing what Nao did to Haru when they were young warped her lust senses rather in a different way than how she though before. That kiss in the infirmary must have happened but Nao's assault on Haru. |

| I judging from the preview I wonder how they are going to explain their relationship to people. It seems like the class pres will be the first to find out.

Keep in a mind he's a young teenage boy who's probably mixed feelings with self disgust for realising that he's attracted to his sister(just a guess) and confused as well.

| Geez...Just when it was getting to the good part, this happens. They censored Sora's delicious flat chest, gave Nao too much air time, and from the looks of the preview, made it look like more of Sora's will be stolen by that stupid "iinchou" Kozue. That's it. I'm gonna go back and play Sora's route in the VN + Fandisk all over again just to get over it. kokoro_412 said: where...is..McRib's reply... Forget him. He'll probably come here and complain something involving religious views again. Something along the lines of how this bro-sis thing is disgusting, immoral, blah blah blah, and that he's glad Nao has been taking so much airtime and hopes they never break up. (Either that, or he decided to drop the anime from here on out) I'd like to say this exact line for the third darn time, in advance before he even show up. What is a religious person such as himself doing here in an anime which defies morals such as this? BUT more importantly, I wonder what Kaimax has to say about this episode. I'd really like to see him dare us to give a reasonable and acceptable explaination on why people hate Nao...."Without adding Sora into the equation." Seriously, I don't know what the hell wrong with me and why I'm even taking the time to complain about this, but what these two say usually seem to rub me the wrong way. |

| Someone tell me why the rapist Nao is still in the series? And shes damn perky in this arc WTF? Seeing Sora is nice, but I think I've built up an immunity to seeing her in her Sun dress cuz I don't get wide eyed thinking KAWAII as much now. More outfits like kimono maybe? But seeing her in the motoko thing on the cell phone was nice. Damn Haru could've saved us an episode by dumping Nao and taking Sora shopping. But I guess by the next episode's title, Sora gonna make a failure O_o |

| If I see Nao blushing ONE MORE TIME in Sora's arc, I will... Some of the gentlemen in here question Haru's behavior when he saw Sora masturbating. It's never easy to decide whether or not to have an incestuous relationship when your head is filled with morals (like earlier, in the classroom). I thought it was obvious that he cried because he knew something as taboo as (tw)incest was going to happen now. It makes it all the more realistic, instead of jumping the gun, like you'd maybe expect from this anime. I'm looking forward to reactions to the incest next episode, I think I saw something in the preview there... 8) |

| Some people stated on the Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai topics the Kirino is one of the worst characters in Anime. But they are wrong Sora's is far worse. Kirino is spoiled but at least she under takes steps herself instead of asking her brother to do everything to her, tho he does allot for her. Sora can't do anything for herself at all she is always asking her brother. And even tho Kirino can be a bitch she smiles allot and is happy most of the time while Sora is pretty much pessimistic all the time. I won't mention anything about Sora's appearance but as personality goes she is probably the worst character this season. And like i said before she is just a spoiled pessimistic and annoying brat. I also agree with the statement of Helur last week that most people would just dislike her if there wasn't any incest involved. And the opposite of this statement is true for Kirino more people would like her if incest was involved. In other words people just like taboo, there is no other reason for it. |

| This episode reminded me of Koi Kaze, not only for the obvious and lazy connection, but because it actually approached the problem with drama and realism. Haru, compared to the megaplayboy that he was in the Akira and Kazuha arcs, now feels like a human being. When you realize a desire for something society has taught you is absolutely wrong, when you know if it happens it will hurt people (including another girl you do love and are trying to be in a relationship with), and will probably hurt the person that also wants it the worst, you would feel like crap too. It would have been silly for Haru to jump Sora; he desires her as a woman, but loves her as a sister and has been a surrogate father. For it to be painless wouldn't make sense. I find it interesting how Nao's arc made it really easy for one to take side with Sora, but Sora's arc makes it easy to take Nao's side. It's all a matter of perspective. |

In other words people just like taboo, there is no other reason for it I disagree. Sora being such a fan favorite is well grounded in common sense. For one, harem manga/anime and visual novels (which Yosuga no Sora is based on) cater to the wish fulfillment principle. People who can't be in the situation presented in media get to live it out vicariously. So it makes sense that so many would like Sora's character since Haru is always passing over her devotion to him in favor of other girls; the natural reaction (to them) is to think, "But I would do things differently, if it were me." For two, Haruka is the most intimate with Sora (could argue Nao too, but Sora/Haruka have lived together). It is generally more satisfying to see a deeply rooted relationship blossom into romance than to see an entirely new relationship begin (with exceptions depending on execution, level of involvement, etc.). And for three and above all, Sora's dependency on Haruka touches a lot of people, I'm sure. She's physically weak; she's anti-social; and she just lost her parents. There's deep emotional attachment to her brother, there. To see her needs fulfilled perhaps fulfills (in a way) the unsatisfied personal needs of some viewers. That said, I personally enjoyed the Kazuha arc. I'm a little put off by this anime because of the adult content, but it could be worse (in which case I probably wouldn't be watching it). The music got me at first, long before I realized it was a harem anime. But I'll watch it through the end. I find it interesting how McRib manages to get so many people to care . . . and care more than perhaps he himself does? Seeing as he only posts once per discussion . . . this could be an epic prank for all you know, couldn't it? |
