Well, in the last episode, it was already hinted at that Minato might not really be his sister by blood and that one of them (probably Jun'ichi) might be adopted. So it's a possibility. But yeah, I agree with you. I had called this in the first episode that I expected something like that too happen (though I hoped that it wouldn't), and so far, it may be leaning towards that. But Minato was totally the hottest one of all the girls. :)

And really? A beam sword? Haha, that gave me a good laugh. Not to mention Jun'ichi's line "I won't let your death be in vain" to his sensei. Heh.

This episode was pretty entertaining. I'm really starting to like th characters so far, Minato is probably my favorite. I loved her dress!

I laughed when Katagiri activated the fireworks! She has the worst luck! XD

True dat, I really enjoy their teacher for some reason. At least his interactions with Jun seem to make for some rather amusing humor. The beam sword seemed a little unnecessary though, as did Yuuhi's reaction to the... "octopus".

I also can't really help, but feel Nagomi is really, really out of place with this. She scares me :(

I really hope that's the case. Four episodes in and I still don't like Yuuhi. Getting scared and hugging Jun after everything doesn't get rid of my dislike for her. Because she's irritated me so much I didn't find the scene with her getting scared and triggering the fireworks funny at all.

The preview sure hinted at MinatoXJunichi, but it wound up it was pretty innocent. Although, looks like it could be elaborated upon later, and as soon as next ep.

Octopus vs jedi scene was really, really dumb. So dumb, in fact, that to date it's the first scene I've ever skipped in anime. And I lost nothing ^_^

I'm probably the only one who related the octopus fight to No More Heroes instead of Star Wars.

And Minato has pretty much solidified her position at #1 in my girl rankings for this series. She filled out that party dress extremely well.

Wow, that was pretty terrible. Man dressed up as octopus to instill fear in people? A freaking lightsaber that didn't slice? Forced romantic moment between Jun and Yuuhi at the end? Bleh. Only part I liked was Yuuhi's dress. Minato's was good too.

Well, still only average, but at least better than the really bad last episode and I had a few laughs off this one.

The reaction joke to the girls was very old, but the exact way Jun reacted was funny. Yuuhi getting really scared by the octopus was most awesome.

Anyway, I also root for Jun x Minato. But those kind of shows mostly disappoint in the end regarding romance, so I wouldn't have too much high hopes for a decent end.

Best wii game ever, and totally agree about Minato. As nice and cool of a girl as yuuhi is, i think it would make for a juicy story if there was a minato x junichi thing (oh the scandal). And as Trineas said, it is a erogame port so it wouldn't be so far fetched. secret agents fighting giant octo? wtf.

Minato is completely keeping this show afloat, haven't seen such a nice/cute/capable girl in anime in a while. And to be honest, her boobs are awesome. Also, I think this is my third favorite Aya voice, after Haruhi and Konata.
Karen isn't too bad though, she's so incredibly silly, I laughed at her joke and I laughed at how stupid the octopus thing was. Come on people, it's meant to be dumb, if you can't handle dumb once in a while, stop watching anime.

Jun-ichi went back to his badass self this week, by ignoring all the girls but Minato, that was great! I'm hoping for a Jun-ichi/Minato ending but I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen.

Not a nice episode at all. We got Ren-Ren making an idiot of herself and Minato X Jun vibes. No, just no. I don't care how you reason it, but the fact remains that his reaction and his thoughts are just disgusting. It just shows the guy is really a creep in the end (which was obvious ever since he forcibly kissed Yuuhi and refused to say sorry for it).

Nagomi and Minato are definitely the best characters in the show. However, this episode was severely lacking.

Incest pairings are all over the place in doujins and h-games, nothing to be surprised about.

It must be the name Junichi. The OTHER Junichi in Da Capo started an incestual relationship too. XD

Either way, this anime is really going nowhere fast. It is yet another case of impressive cast of characters and even more impressive cast of seiyuus, but no storyline to back it up. This episode made it all the more horrible.

I agree with you, it has good chars and everything but they rly need a nice storyline other wise it'd be just another one of those average ones.

I agree with the main sentiment in this thread -- better than ep3 but still average. The Jedi vs. Octopus scene is bizarre enough that I kind of enjoyed it, and the teacher is awesome, but man, I really want to drop this series now (I had the same feeling the whole time I watched Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu). If the next ep does not pick up, then I think I will drop this.

The episode was okay. I'm liking Minato more than Yuuhi; she's pretty much just less annoying. For me the only thing Yuuhi has going for her is KugiRie + sleepwalking, whilst Minato is overall a very nice character ^^

Ren-ren was extremely annoying. I KNOW it was supposed to be dumb, but honestly, I couldn't help but facepalm @ the octopus scene. Yuuhi actually being afraid of the octopus made her more irritating than cute.

Nagomi, however, is win. At this point I'm mostly watching this series for her and Minato.
Shana is love.

i dont know how people are saying this episode is better than the last. this one was craptastic. several times in the episode i had to pause it and go wtf, did that really just happen...how dumb.

i can deal and like cliches if they are done well, but these were just horrible.

yeah and the cut scenes to junichi's parents....i felt like stabbing my eyes. ugh so disappointed considering i was looking forward to this new episode.

A waste of 22 minutes. No humor. No significant plot progression. Nothing. The first three episodes left the door open for at least some potential good to come from this series, but this episode promptly slammed that shut. Really, really bad episode.

But some way I hope that there would be incest or yuri, but some way I don't wanna that happen @_____@ But this serie is in that way good, that there is no story line particularly.

And I laught when Yuuhi was scared of Octopus-san :''''D

This show kind of .. confuses me. Like heck, I can't take it serious. Not even in the ways I take good comedy shows serious.

For me it sems like Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka itself does not know which route to take, and I'm pretty sure I'll be dropping it if this won't change during the next few episodes.

What a waste of hot anime girls :/ I liked episode 3 better (although episode 3 barely had any Minato in it, when Minato is LOVE! <3<3)
And wtf, the 3 girls cook for everyone in the party?
And the deredere scene with Yuuhi didn't last for too long^^' I think I like Minato better <3
Oh and incest is good :) although I have a feeling that it won't turn out to become real incest, as hinted by one of the previous episodes
Aww well, not dropping.

so, is all this hinting to Minato x Junichi going to happen, or is this anime going to betray me and go for a yuuhi x junichi in the end... or will it exceed my expectations and have a Minato x Junichi x Yuuhi ending?

anyways, the episode was ok. Minato was the best for sure.
Nagomi was a little bit... no, really weird, but i guess it is ok.
everybody's (girls) outfits were really cute. specially (oh noes) Minato.
so yuuhi is also a bad cook.....
i had a smile on my face at the light saber.... but none more than that, i actually found it pretty... umm.. not funny
althought yuuhi did go pretty cute at the end when she cried to junichi, and hugged him.
next episode should be at least interesting.

I found the episode rather entertaining. Sure it was dumb, but as someone said, it's passable. There were some good comedy moments there, especially the Junichi-Sensei convos that have been very funny so far. :D
Nice to see Junichi and Yuuhi getting closer too, but... I, too, am rooting for Junichi x Minato - she's just so cute! And the pairing would be interesting as well. Oh well, hopefully the show picks up a faster pace from now on.

I suppose there's something about Jun and Yuuhi being engaged, but no, that doesn't sounds campy enough. It's obviously about Mama and Papa defying common logic and their children defying moral standards. With a tsundere in the middle.

Btw, on more serious terms, doesn't Sensei mimics the fashion style of Nabari no Ou's Kumohira-Sensei? Actually, scratch that, they are like clones.

Alright epiosde, but it keeps better, at least. I am surprised that Junichi is seeing Minato's boobs. There's a possible that Minato was adopted. If there's an incest relationship for some reason, I will be interested in that one. The octopus fight was waste of time for the episode. Minato <333

I don't see why everyone wants a Minato and Junichi ending. Oh thats right, her boobs and Hirano is voicing her. If this show ends with them together I will be so disappointed. For one, Minato is so annoying. She's so generic with her niceness. I've seen it repeatedly in anime and I'm sick of it. Yuuhi's not very orginial either, but she's better than Minato.

Also, regardless of if they're related by blood or not. It's distrubing to see two people that call each other siblings and act like it as well, end up together. I mean, really, think about it. Thats the one thing I can't ignore in a series. It just doesn't seem right.

I hope Junichi and Yuuhi's date in the next episode progresses their relationship. The best part of this episode was Junichi's "I won't let you're death be in vain".

Ever since episode 1 Minato was my favorite. And every episode she keeps on getting some points. So Minato is winning against all the other girls in a huge landslide to me.

You think it's disturbing, but when you think about it, it may be disturbing if they were together their whole lives. But they said in one of the earlier episodes that they were seperated for a while.
