I don't know what's up with anime today but this episode marks another series that most satisfied me. Inaho x Takeru was splendid in the episode. I felt much more than the manga. Way more in fact. Inaho's face in the following,

is something that should not be forgotten because she never shows much of that side often until she fights seriously or is serious in combat mode. It looked way better than the manga mainly the animation. Splendid boulder smash.

While the childhood segment in the following,

does bring out the better feelings that you feel for them, well that's the impression I got of more than the manga itself, although the manga seems to sink in more than in the anime, the anime being animated expresses far more.

Oh screw you girls except Inaho (at least I know she would gladly accept Takeru in the bath) for treating Takeru like you did in the spoiler
Poor guy! Being left like that
but then again try going against those girls, no chance with Haruko and of what we know from her powers. At least he got very very enjoyable times with Inaho in the shopping district. The art renders were good there. Maybe more later.

BTW Image Stitches are done in the spoiler
Haruko/Inaho are nicely done but I find the diagram of the elements panoramically fascinating. Especially the elements.

I was laughing when Takeru bashed in his head against the tree suddenly during the flashback. All I saw was Inaho being sad and Takeru trying to cheer Inaho up by bashing his head...

Look at those Inaho shots at the intermission, oh crap a censor, seems like a pussy censor too so it won't go away in the BDs.

Himegami looking good in that outfit she changed into. Childhood flashbacks were good as well.

I'll give Takeru credit on this one...can't understand how a girl would be upset over something like that which was such a long time ago.....

Little kids say dumb shit....its normal to forget something like that, especially if he was only with her for like a day or two.

Sad episode. If Inaho made crying noises, then for sure I would've cried also. But she didn't and I thank her for that, but it was still a sad episode. I think I might read the manga when this is done......or I can start right now.

Boring; only like the last minute or so was worth the watch and even then it was censored...

I wasn't feeling it, seemed kinda boring. Inaho just seems pesky, for someone he doesn't re member. I think I'd rather have more Himegami.

Sucks that its different from the way it happened in the manga, there was something more in it. But I guess in a way I felt more about their relationship in this. Was cool watching those flashbacks, made it more sadder.

Where'd Usui buy those Himegami magazines?!?!

Finally, a spark of life and heart in the series. A reason to see that these characters may grow beyond how they were initially portrayed. I gotta admit, I'm not usually a fan of the 'oh you said you'd marry me when we were kids' being forced upon a guy later in life, but Imho-Chan and Takeru-kun really feel right together for some reason. I don't know if it will end up this way or not, but I definitely like the character development now.

Absolutely stupid episode.

Whole forgetting thing was stupid. He cant help it if he has forgotten. Girl is sad rightfully so but she cant expect to focus anger on him
- comment about feelings and fiancée was stupid. Sure be nice to a girl(which I felt he was) but you cant return feelings if you dont feel them too

- You should look out for people but she strongly told him to go home alone. Any more then that and you would have had a shit fight

- Friend going off at him was ungrounded. He cant really be blamed for her tears

Something watchable and there is something about the past of Inaho, the rest of the narrative is yet another found full of clichés that appeals to things seen and re-seen, not even done well.
Drawings and animations of sufficient quality, the character of Takeru gets worse with each passing episode.

Well that felt like a change of tone. Felt like everything got serious. Nice to have some background on Inaho.

This series has been garbage from the start (even the fan service was lame) but this episode pushed it even further. Why do stereotypical anime behavior of punching a so called friend in the face for the dumbest possible reason...? Can't wait to watch something good to wash this toilet scum from my mind.

If you do that (leaving a girl alone and sad and someone else know it) in hentai or irl, there's possibility you get NTR'd.

Another 4/5. The episode was essentially insight into Takeru's past with the upbeat girl whose name just barely escapes me currently. More specifically, they concentrated on the promise Takeru made to her back then that has essentially motivated and carried her to where she is today. It's interesting background, and although slightly cliche, I always find it interesting to watch the "I know/you don't know/why don't you know?" angle in relationships. It was a little slow, but it had to be, for the purpose of the episode. I think it did a pretty good job, considering the point of the episode. And I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. So don't worry.
