THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I just saw this RAW. Amazing episode! The first half was really frustrating cause one part of wanted to bash, punch and kick Yuuto saying "WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!" and the other is feeling really bad for Haruka cause she's REALLY GOOD at hiding her feelings when she wants to.

I am going to give props to Yuuto for at least being A MAN and saving Shiina from that sign board but that's it. The other is Yuuto is a idiot for falling like this on her but it's also the fact that is a cliche.

Haruka is MOE MAX with that cosplay costume and her facial expressions! However, I also must say Shiina was interesting in her devil costume but I PREFER SUCCUBUS MORE like Morrigan from Darkstalkers.

It was nice of Mika with the Maids to visit Yuuto.

Congratulations on Nogizaka winning first place!

The story with charming prince on the train and Hazumi was really FAKE and I though it was real. Doh! :o

The best part is at the end I find. When Yuuto proposes to Nogizaka to dance but Nogizaka wonders how since it is over; then Yuuto takes the CLUMSY AKI music box and THEY DANCE IN A BEAUTIFUL SET UP. Almost made me think of Snow white for some reason.

ONE THING I DID NOT LIKE: WHERE IS THAT KISS???? ?_?

Next episode is I DON'T GET IT TOO MUCH but the father seems to be involved again and is he making Yuuto confess finally???

When I saw the first two minutes of it, I was like "boring, so damn predictable and cliche". However, despite that, the ending was actually very sweet and nice. Overall, this episode didn't fail as badly as I thought it would. The dancing to the Aki music box part was really nice.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I thought exactly like this last episode, this time is was a bit better, at least at the end.
Hazuki's Eric story was nice and I'd like to have seen more of Haruka in her cosplay :)

I think school festivals in general are overused. You see them in every anime that involves a school of some kind =/

I guess it tells those who have not experienced one yet how fun it is.....each time I see one, it makes want to experience since I have not besides our schools suck cause our festivals are nothing like Japanese ones though they have their fun.

That's all I got to say on 2 cents of Japanese festivals.

I wonder if every school in Japan has a school festival? Somehow, I get the feeling that school festivals look much more fun in anime than they are in real life -_-

This episode was not very written, IMHO.

The costumes were a nice visual treat, but the character interactions seemed to fizzle.

How hard would it have been to have said, "A wooden board fell toward Shiina, I tried to knock it away from her before it injured her, I lost my balance and fell on her"?

Depending on how hard is it to not feel ashamed. Sure he saved her but if I was him I would feel way more embarrassed at that time, however I would wait at the opportune time such as when they were alone during the time when the dance was happening. That was good time and Yuuto did explain properly then.

Eric was the best part of this episode XD

seriously, if he'd just asked Mika for help he would have gotten it, not that it would have been necessary if Hazuki had told Haruka what had happened, or if Yuuto had been bright enough to start his sentences with "a sign fell and i pushed her out of the way" or if Shiina had told her for that matter (although that's probably asking a bit much). and in the end she never did find out what happened, which means that she always think that he was going at it in a classroom with another girl.

After seeing the subs I have one occurence that is quite strange. One time I was tearing near the end when Yuuto said to Nogizaka to be with her forever....then when Hazuki said that the bear is Eric....I WENT LITERALLY LOL LOL LOL!

Really strange one moment it is so joyful and emotional then the next moment is LOL so hard!

This anime is cool. Seems next episode a war of love erupts...who the hell is the Akiba-Kei princess?????

Very, very average episode. A lot of clichés (it was everything but original) and the animation was clearly subpar.But it was interesting at least because it made me remember School Days, so... ;)

for a show that was breaking cliches left and right.... i'll forgive them for using one, since that cliche helped Haruka and Yuuto to FINALLY get together.
I don't think we're gonna see a kiss until the final episode....

The question is... what'll the final 2 episodes be about? It looks like Shiina gave up on Yuuto, and Yuuto is quite satisfied w/ Haruka... so I don't think we'll be getting any more drama from that end.

The only real obstacles that remain are
a) the student body disliking Yuuto for being so close to Haruka and
b) a true revelation of Haruka's secret (I have a feeling that the "revelation" at the end of episode 3 wasn't taken seriously)

There is also the question of things not being settled from Shiina but she may have given up...interesting thing you said about the true Secret being not the serious one but a more deeper one is present. WE SHALL SEE!

nice and cute episode
overused cliches are not so bad, considering almost 4/6th of them have some sort of cliche to them (even more)
it was obvious that something happened to shiina and yuuto to end up like that....
haruka crying was.... not nice
Haruka in her overly moe costume again was a really nice and happy surprise.... that costume = awesome
Shiina's costume was not bad either, so.... are both devil and angel overly moe now?
Poor Shiina got rejected.... but i guess she knew why
Hazuki's story didn't seem real at all... i thought she was just faking it... but when they showed Eric... i had to laugh.... her smile was... interesting xD
Finally, those two know that they want to stay together...at this point, i would have expected a kiss, but it didn't happen in karin, so i guess its fine for them not to yet..... but i am expecting one in the next couple of episodes (sad that this anime is ending in two weeks... it was a really awesome one)
the dance at the clumsy aki music box was cute.
Yabay... XD

next episode.... seems like more yakuza dad time.....

Kind of an annoying episode to be honest. I love this show, but this was just one of those episodes I wanted to skip ahead but didn't want to risk missing anything important.

And his standing there with that stupid expression with his mouth open like a bass struggling for air out of water just got beyond annoying.

The ending was nice, but the torture to get there was just terrible.

The Eric segment had me in stitches. Funny as a really funny thing.

I was bursting at the seams every time Yuuto spoke to Nogizaka as he just wouldn't mention that farking sign would he!?

I still prefer Shiina personally and I'm hoping for some mega action in the next two episodes. Somehow, some way I want Shiina to shack up with Yuuto. Unlikely, I know, but a man can dream...

Can't wait to see what other skeletons are hiding in Nogizaka's wardrobe either.

overall good episode. the situation was one that i'm sure everyone's seen before a handful of times but in a show that is suppose to lean more towards realistic than fantasy i don't think they had too many options for jealousy to arise and feelings to come out. and same as everyone else eric had me loling.

I was surprised by how cute the end of this episode was. Even though I don't regard this show as a "great romance" or anything (it's more just a cute, sometimes fanservice-filled romcom), in that moment between Haruka and Yuuto, it almost felt like they got there -- it was really, really sweet.
