| I loved the episode. Taiga threw Ami this time ^_>^ Taiga is the valiant hero who saves Ryuuji, the 'damsel in distress' :P Although their relationship did develop in this episode, I think in the next episode everything will go 'back to normal' and they will continue to act the same towards eachother, with a few dere dere moments when alone. Moreover, I think Ami is more likely to be developed more as a character in the next episode. |

| They RUINED IT!!! For I am a person who read novels, this particular episode raged from chapter 3 to chapter 5 (some where about that) most important part is chapter 4 and 5 of book 3. I have to say that they did terrible terrible job on this episode, perhaps it was due to horrible subs or something else. But I do not understand why they argued at the public pool side compared to the book and the whole bikini top thingy was 300 times better in the book. Just the same as with Taigas confession to Kitamura in early episodes, J.C. Staff seem to be unable to bring the TRUE feelings between Ryuuji and Taiga forth to the screen. So I guess we just have to live with this, thanks God to Baka-Tsuki?? On top of that, Hi am new to this club. Thanks for the invite. |

| First few episodes I laughed a lot, but now it is just a regular comedy to me. I still find it enjoyable, especially this episode. I was a little disgusted during one scene with Kitamura though -_-;;;;;;;;;;;;; |
| xDDD i love the part when Minorin saw Kitamura naked and when the towel fell off, shre said: " I saw...a back..hairy thing", and Ryuuji said it was the ghost seaweed. xDD |
    |
| Personally I think this was a weaker episode. Just as masterhoopla said it was a back to normal episode. About the naked Kitamura: well ... a bit of fanservice for all those fangirls out there is not the wrong thing to do :-P We learned a bit more about Minori in this episode but this was the only thing which could be called character development. Even the expected fanservice for guys like me wasn't in this episode -.- Nonetheless I still liked this episode and I am looking forward to the next one. One last thing: Maybe Taiga finally realized that Kitamura is not the best choice for her and that she should stick with Ryuuji. |

| Too lazy to write something original so copy paste but enjoy the pics and BTW answer some questions I put up!: Very nicely done indeed Hoary! Great LOls and much amusement in this episode! I will rewatch it now! I got it! I will save comments for when subs come out. All I got to say is that 3 parts made laugh one made me bitch pretty much. One thing is I find Taiga very adorable in that nice white hat! The multiple hands God (forgot its name) imitated by the four (Kushieda/Ryuuji/Kitamura/Taiga) was hilarious. Here are parts I liked: 1. That part made me LOL so much my face turned red cause it was too much! 2. That part made me LOL pretty good. 3. This part I also LOL very much! I could not stop myself cause their red faces are funny. Should more anime with those faces come I will like this! 1.  2.  3.  Finally I hated this part and I found it strange that Ami acted like that, I mean this sor of thing applies to guys but this was a situation reverse. Would have been better a girl VS girl fight.  Chibuki request gif of 2. and might as well make one 1. Maybe more after subs. Thank you all on MAL for showing such great anime! Some questions for discussion: 1. Who found it strange that Ami did not get affected by the whole towel off of Kitamura? Could it be that Ami already did it or saw many guys naked? 2. Those pills Kitamura gave to Aisaka....was it headache pills or tranquilizers? 3. What do people think that Minori will do with the pics taken of Kitamura? 4. When Ami mentioned going to the beach with Ryuuji before they got interrupted was she thinking nude dip? 5. Was it shyness of Aisaka (cause she blushed) of not going with Kitamura on the motorcycle or Taiga does not like motorcycles? 6. Doe Ryuuji's dream suggest something with the way his mother was portrayed? Let's have fun and start discussing people! |

| Kitamura was not canon or fanservice, it was a part of the book. Generally this episode stuck extremely good to the original matterial. Only minnor things was skipped in the very start so we could get to the main point. What I do dislike about this episode is the comedian part... No wait, that was just fine. But the faces they made was ugly like Ryuujis parrot. We also seen some Ryuuji x Minorin (finally) all trough a bit badly executed, it was very well done. The Ryuuji x Taiga was slightly more terrible compared to novel, but it did delivered the message. That Taiga does not feel at ease when she is together with Kitamura, it rather stressful to her. But she is able to relax and feel at ease with Ryuuji. In the end they made it too obvious that it was a two man prank, by starting knocking on both the doors and windows at same time. A very good episode, but somehow slightly overdone. |

| Just my thoughts from the forum. One more thing is that things are getting a little serious around with out characters. Yeah episode was good! The scary parts were pretty well done. I was surprised how different it was from last episode yet was fresh to continue from last one. Indeed I finally got back from studies. In any case this episode showed very well once again how Minori can become serious when it comes to talking. I ma referring from about when the fireworks started to before they are back in the city. Very nice setting for such a situation. As some have said the fireworks display was astonishing and well done. I found to have some doubts as to if the other big fireworks appearing after the ones used near the house having to do with a certain arrangements done by Ami since her reactions were more than a sight. The cave scene from beginning like I stated before, was very well done it scared me and then made me LOL properly. Also it was brilliant to have Kushieda use the sound maker in the cave and that is because of the environment as well as the fact that this environment has echoes around since it is within a cavern. I must also mentions the kitchen scene with the onions had a pleasant LOL on me once the onion made some tears off of Kushieda. I am finding Ami more into the sexual teasing and flirting on Ryuuji in this episode. This is mostly due to her newbikini and more alone moments with Ryuuji in the cave. More maybe more after the subs. My two cents and rest in spoiler. 1.I decided that Minori and Taiga are cute in their bikini clinging with each other. 2.Ami is also HOT with her new bikini. 1.  2.  Someone said about the fireworks? Click on the spoiler to find out.   aberella] Pete_CG said: Haha, I can't believe Minori said "たかすくんのお嫁さんになるこは幸せだね". "The girl who you marry will be very happy". Oh man, and Ami basically confesses to Ryuuji when she says "憧れだけじゃ対等になれない。対等になれるのは私みたいな...", although she's interupted by Minori's scream. Too bad because I still think Ryuuji loves Minori although Taiga is also close to him. Ami has way more road to do. Even with such a confession Ryuuji would be miserable with her. Besides Taiga needs Ryuuji more than Ami and that is because Ami let's say too complex of character and I do not see the chemistry. Moreover Ryuuji seems less shy around Taiga. Laterz! After subs thoughts Well, there is more than I though. Taiga and Ryuuji admitting that they wanted to scare Kushieda while Kitamura was there made Kitamura interested in this whole deal. So It went on that Ami would go as far as asking Ryuuji about what he thinks about her body when in fact she already did that before. My problem with Ami is that here teasing might snap Ryuuji at one point but who knows since he has not snapped yet in this series. The confession of Ami in the cave and Ami forcing Ryuuji to reveal the main reason of him wnting to make Minori happy was total failure and Ryyji will not give in to the pressure of Ami if the sitaution need to be kep secret. I think the conversation like I said earlier of Kushieda was most important step in having that emotion connection that many talk about in this discussion. Whether the emotions will turn into love or romance is yet to be seen. This episode definitely marked the evolution between Minori and Ryuuji in their relation. Ya, th 3 traps were ridiculous but at least Taiga was defending Kitamura from being ridiculed. My final verdict is as a Aisaka fan I have to say Ryuuji if you make Aisaka sad it will be bad! Just terrible and Ami might be too much trouble. So Kushieda might be good but Aisaka does not have the independence of Kushieda. ------------------->Final decision: Ryuuji x Taiga |

| Minori and Ami completely proposed to Ryuuji! I wonder when Taiga, wait, Taiga confessed her love for Ryuuji when she screamed: "Ryuuji is mine!" |
|
| Actually Minorin didn't propose to Ryuuji. She was pretty much saying that she's not ready for a confession yet, but if he continues to get close to her and change her world, maybe then she'll know love and all that. They just gained a better emotional standing to their friendship, that's all. |
