So Ooshima has shown up, and were getting closer to seeing more of Yamaken. I really like his interactions with Shizuku, so hopefully all those moments show up. I think I like him just as much as I like Haru : )

will yamaken become haru's "love rival", also developing feelings or w/e for shizuku?
please put it in a spoiler

Ugh, can the "movie" please happen? Please?


I want it to happen too. =D

Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun = amazing
and as i stated before, please dont make yamaken haru's "love rival", dont make anyone a "love rival"

would be so annoying, i hate boring predictable shit like that
and as ive already said, i'd hate it even more if shizuku would develop "feelings" for haru's rival (if there'll even be one), or blushes because of him or w/e...
so dont turn shizuku into a slut, haru x shizuku ! ^^


Well...
I can assure you that she's not going to be a 'slut', but regarding Yamaken...

That girl with glasses is so cute, but Haru is obviously meant to be with Shizuku, they have such a strong chemistry. I'm looking forward to the next ep, I want to see if Shizuku gets jealous (I bet she will).
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

That preview, damn stupid chicken made my day.
Class president girl seems to love Haru too, but I knew that'll never happen.
That movie(?) trailer was pretty funny, I wonder if it's real.
I'm looking forward to more.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

That was a good episode, although I am really confused. Because he was talking fora long time, I didn't quite understand what the conflict was and what promise Haru made. I feel like I'm missing something important now..
As for the series in general, it really reminds me more and more of Lovely Complex, more casual romance with comedy and two similar characters as lovers.
4/5

I was looking forward to the date with the usual comedic antics, but at least we got some plot.

The class rep reminds me of Anri from Durarara.

My favorite part was the "movie trailer," it actually looked pretty good!

This.


I was thinking the same thing about the class representative resembling Anri.

Ahhhh! Love this show so much. It was great to learn a little more about Haru's past, but it looks like there is a lot more to it. Loved the movie trailer!!! Would be great if they did an episode special or something with that spin to it! Cant wait to see the next one :)

This is probably the best romance I have seen, properly developed, and it progresses naturally.

I keep on waiting for the quality of the writing to go down, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I had to chuckle when I saw that at the end, "My Little Gangbanger".

I truly enjoyed this episode. Dealing with Yuzan is a little frustrating, but the way it eventually lead into Haru and Shizuku getting closer was a great payoff. In additional, a rival appears! Classic. Looking forward to the next episode.

Tonari, you are pwning all the other Fall animes so far. :3
5/5

It's impossible to hate any character in this show. They are far from cliche and shallowness. I love how Shizuku isn't a tsundere like someone coughAsunacough.

It's a mix of how good this anime is and how poorly the rest of the season has been. All of the action, shounen and psychological anime have been really boring to watch. They just don't have any interesting hooks. I'm even afraid to admit it, but even Psycho Pass is beginning to fade off my radar.

I like this season more than summer season though. The only down side is that there's way too much fighting/action/sci-fi/violent shows this season. :P I like more variety. On the bright side, yay triple shoujo. :3

Tonari, Sukitte and Sakuraso? =D
Too bad Robotics;Notes isn't quite shoujo.

I find that lately I've been gravitating towards shoujo shows. The last shounen show that REALLY hooked me was probably Code Geass. Then again, that show had arguably the best male character in anime... As for the latest shounen offerings(SAO, Accel World...), I just end up losing interest halfway through.

Code Geass wasn't Shounen, it was the rare anime that covered both the Shounen and Shoujo categories (For all the male fanservice, they made sure to provide nearly if not equal amount of female fanservice of the BL variety). This is why it was so amazingly popular. It covered every demographic. It was also the rare example of animation far better than the source material.

There are not too many Shoujo that appeals to me (not surprising since I am a guy), personally I find the "mousey girl having the handsome prince fall for and rescuing her from social condemnation ploy as annoying as the worst harem anime, both are equally wish fulfillment and equally dull. Occasionally a series can rise above these stereotypes, but they are few and far between.

That said, Tonari is fantastic. They reversed the mousey role (it is Mitte who rescues Haru from social condemnation), which is a treat, and more importantly falling in love hasn't fundamentally changed Mitte (or for that matter Haru). Yes they are changing, but the changes are slow and realistic, and Mitte's strength of character and purpose are perfectly clear and those are not changing.

I also love the drawings (I bought the first five volumes after seeing the first two episodes). The artist is so good at expressing emotion through simple glances, I haven't seen such great use of non-verbal communication since reading the Cross Game manga. The drawings of Mitte are particularly great. Mitte is no great beauty, but they way she is drawn shows her strength of character and indeed her charisma. You can see why guys would fall for her. The sweet girl gets the prince motif is dull and lets face it unrealistic. Mitte though has such gravity that people can't but help to revolve around her.

Looking forward to seeing how they develop this series. I hope to god they don't try to jam it all in 13 or even 26 episodes. I really want them to remain faithful to the manga, and if this means an inconclusive finish please end it that way.

I can't agree, there is no hint of shoujo or BL on Code Geass, surely you got that idea because the character designs were made by Clamp(unusual good character designs, mostly shoujo), but if what you said was true then xxxHolic would have to be considered shoujo too and that would be just dumb. Genres apply mostly to the story not only to the characters looks.

Lol at the way Sasayan just kept laughing while Natsume asked him why all the pics was of her bikini.

Oh yeah a love rival to make this even more interesting, even if she doesn't seem to have a chance. And that Kana Hanazawa voice ftw.

Nice to learn more about Haru and his past.
