The episode was okay, interesting because of the whole Kitamura liking Taiga before. I wonder how that will effect w/e else goes on b/w them.
I know, it was like a bombshell when kitamura went all "I loved Taiga" and Ryuuji just falls flat right there and then with a "you got to be kidding me" expression.

Well, Taiga wasn't able to get his picture, but Ryuuji scored two more points in his quest to catch Minori's attention by getting a picture of her (and her pudding) "from" her as well as getting the opportunity to make lunch for all four of them from now on. I hope they keep this flow, enough of a window for them to either end up together or with their respective crushes.

Actually I read some profiles about Ami from people who read the novel so I am not wrong if I did that. Right? Unless you are ready to say most of those people are wrong.

Then you should clarify that before you go on a completely unnecessary tirade about how you hate models cause frankly, I don't think people really need to know that you hate models, practice magic, get bad vibes from bisexuals, or had bad experiences with women.


LOL!!!

The whole episode was LOL!!!

...Sorry for that non-constructive part of my post..... Anyway, this episode was actually funnier than the last one. We got to see a lot of cute scenes and cute reactions... But I really found Ryuuji's obsession with green mold funny. I mean, you can see him in the opening maniacally eradicating mold from the windows of his classroom... What a weird hobby....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

it was a great episode, with good comedy at least. i am getting kind of bothered by the way J.C staff is adapting this anime, but that may just be me, and even if they are not completely following the order, they are still making it somehow good.
there was a lot of deredere taiga this episode, it was moe
even without reading the gg notes, i found taiga to be quite funny with her OHHA!.... she seemed so.... dense.
Taiga was cute while being held off by kitamura... am i sensing some feelings coming from kitamura towards the student council president?
LOL @ Haruta.... what the hell was he saying? xD
i am sad they didn't do the dancing before sitting scene from the manga... i was really amused by it.
YAY for them finally showing bandana-Ryuuji, the cleaner of all mold...
Sudoh-Bucks made my day. specially when ryuuji said "how is this place not getting sued?"
overflowing drool taiga is moe
Perfect Cube potato.... lol
Minorin is so cute... lol @ her picture while eating puddin.
yay, the secret is finally revealed.... they revealed it so much earlier in the manga, but i guess it is good that they finally said it.
Inko's normalness was just funny.
overall, this episode needed more kushieda.

next episode, we get to see Ami, yay

I actually would like it if Taiga and Ryuuji kept their respective crushes and just kind of supported each other throughout the show. I think someone mentioned this earlier - Asako? But yeah. That would be pretty cool, though it's obviously not going to happen.

I did clarify! I tell you from experiences and besides I am not only using personal experiences as examples. TRUST ME AMI IS GOING TO BE TROUBLE! I really HATE personalities like her. Look you tell the truth or you hide from it. She hides all the time from the looks of what I read as examples.

Not only does she hide but she has hard time of being honest. I SMELL TROUBLE FROM Ami. In a way IT'S GOOD cause I get to Aisaka KICK HER ASS!

I think (and maybe this is just wishful thinking) that Taiga stopped at a picture of Ryuuji. Dunno how he was in a picture unless he was in a blurry photo with Kitamura that she took, so I could be way off...but I wanna interpret it as that.


No, she stopped because she came to the realization that she couldn't choose any one picture. She has lots of them but none that she actually likes. What she wanted most was a picture of Kitamura of when he confessed to her. His expression was what made her fall in love with him because he saw her for who she was.


Note that I said "wishful thinking." I saw what you were saying at the end, when she explained it, but as I was watching the ep I didn`t know why she did it. That`s why I thought it was a picture of Ryuuji she stopped at. Also, the part where he finds her at school with the pictures and was all embarrassed seemed like it would be natural that she was looking at Ryuuji`s picture and was surprised when he came up to her (when she was sitting next to the stairs).

Yes, I noticed you said "I think" and so it was your wishful thinking. I was just clarifying it for the person asking the question but just thought I quote the whole thing to make the conversation coherent. I also did think it was a picture of Ryuuji when she first stopped except when she handed it to him, I knew it wasn't because that would be too obvious of her and embarrassing. If it was a picture of Ryuuji, given Taiga, she would've hide it instead.

I really have to agree there. She is definitely a bit different from Shana/Louise tsundere character archetype. Moreover our male main lead can handle her quite well.

I agree with you, she's awesome. But I don't know what Ami is like, we'll see in 5 days. =] Anwyay, good episode, it kind of surprised me that Kitamura confessed to Taiga before. I smell more romance coming, that's good, I was already fed up with all the comedy, episode four straightened it for me.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Well i am back haha, I honestly think there is a pic of him in there, thats why i asked that question (wishful thinking in my part as well). That is why she left early to hide it, but no one can deny that she has some feelings for Ryuuji even in episode 2 when she confessed to Kitamura, he notices it. I did like Ryuuji's reaction to finding out that his friend confessed to Tiaga and she said no. Can't wait to see more of this show on how its going to develop now with Ami in the picture.
This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me.

This episode had a few good parts and some funny moments but it lacked scope. The story seemed all over the place, there were like a million different settings for just talking and opening up between Ryuji and Taiga. This episode was nothing compared to what this series has put out so far. The Sudoh-bucks part was hilarious though.

Alright, i may be new to anime, but what's with this people realising they love each other so instantly?

Is it something that actually happens or is it for the sake of anime that they move the whole falling in love thing so quickly...

I actually like this episode (gasp). This simplicity of the story allowed a few of the character to open up and give us natural background and some development. Still hating Taiga as everyday goes by, and even more so as she is such a stupid hypocrite. Kind of like everyone else. Oh, and the parrot or cockatoo, or cockatrice is getting old, kill it or keep it silent.

The show is getting boring fast.
Deeply agreed.

It maybe would be a better show if they removed Taiga and left as DoraDora.
They would only need to change one kana.
(No, actually 2 but you get the point.)

Explanation For those who don't get it, but want to understand what i said:


Just as said before, we don't need a second Louise.
We really don't.

I don't know why these new seasons of Zero No Tsukaima got so famous.
But thats not actually the point here. (i need to be more careful to avoid getting off topic again, lol)

Taiga's personality is getting so boring and annoying i can't even bare to watch her anymore.
This series getting butchered and scr*wd-up so baddly.....

If i were Ryuuji, i guess i would just tell her to f*k off, and try to go 4 Minorin by myself.
I wonder from where the hell the producers come up with such lenient personalitys, no really.
I really don't think there would actually exist a guy who would accept such attitude from a girl who is actually freeloading @ his house. (Well, only if that girl were your sister or your lover. But this ain't the case)

Well, i'm cursing over the Anime, but mind you, i'm just "flaming" the anime. I really liked alot the Manga.

Oh, yeah, just one thing. (IMO) The music (OP & ED) sucks.
Just one more thing, Inko-chan's anime version is just plain weird.
The manga's Inko-Chan is WAY BETTER.

Sorry bout the engrish.

I have to say that's a little bit of how I felt about this last episode... I happen to think an epic story isn't so necessary to a straightforward slice-of-life comedy like this, the late introduction doesn't really bother me, and I've yet to get very far in Zero no Tsukaima, though it did seem a bit awkward.

But I moe'd the fuck out to all of Taiga's dere moments this episode - it was like one long derederedere. Plus a helping or two of Minorin.

And that's what matters.

Now thats some good reply.
I do agree this type of series doesn't need such aspect, but without it, it only turns out to be another boring, random, cliched, forgettable series.

I'm sure you know thousends of series that follow the same basis like this one, right?
It does seem fresh, but it starts to phail when the producers started changing some aspects.

I really think that if they followed the manga, this would be one of the best (If not the best) series of 2008.
