| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That image of the flower coming out of the frame was pretty epic |
     |
| Yah that flower was pretty sweet. |
| I was planning to write about that flower scene before I opened the page. xD It was really good. I don't remember that kind of thing in the manga, but even so it was a good add. And Tamaki was so cute in this episode in every scene. xD |
 |
| Probably my fav episode so far, plotwise anyway. Favorite part was seeing the part where Kyouya was thinking that Tamaki was an idiot & couldn't figure out how he could see right through him. |
 |
| "Mon ami! Mon ami! Mon ami!" Lol. I like how a series as silly as OHSHC can still have thoughtful episodes like this, and actually pull it off well. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Not a real good episode but it was cool. It was interesting to see Kyouya's life from back then, up until Tamaki asked him to join the club. Now we know alittle bit more about him.. :3 4/5. |
     |
| I loved this episode!! Kyouya is crazy and Tamaki is adorable xD The flower scene was epic. |
     |
| hate to be repetitive, but that flower was epic. This was one of my favorite episodes, gotta love Kyouya =) |

| I'm a huge fan of this show.... This is BY FAR my favorite episode! No matter how many times I watch the series. Tamaki is so vulnerable and yet so utterly stupid. His goal is to simply make new friends and explore Japan. This makes you love him and hate him at the same time. He has a lot of very funny moments whether he's pouting in the corner, or dancing around singing "Namahage! Namahage!" He is so endearing and so annoying at the same time it's hard not to like his character. At the end of the episode when Kyouya finally snaps, he not only COMPLETELY insults Tamaki but physically attacks him as well. Does Tamaki get angry? No. Does Tamaki Get scared? No. Does Tamaki pout? No. He stands up to Kyouya and gives him good advice... because that's what FRIENDS do. He treats Kyouya like a true friend and makes Kyouya realize his full potential. Therefore Kyouya completely breaks the whole "ass-kissing" routine and shows his true colors. It is the beginning of a truly beautiful friendship. Kyouya may act like Tamaki's kindness doesn't affect him BUT IT DOES to a tremendous amount! He is annoyed by Tamaki (everyone is) and often calls Tamaki a moron but this episode shows the deepness of their relationship and how much they truly appreciate each other. |

| sweet episode :) and i like the waya tamaki thinks...you can do everything,you just have to put your soul in everything you do :) there coming the symbolism of the flower utside the frame... |

| Great ep. All of the good ones seem to be at the end of the series. |
| Big flower was HUGE. :S And lol Tamaki with his "mon ami". |
 |
| OH if only it waited till now because now the manga is at its end.. |
 -I don't care anymore... I wish everybody would just dissapear into darkness... |
Natalie_LOVE said: OH if only it waited till now because now the manga is at its end.. Maybe a second season?? There's still hope. :) I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE. Kyouya-sempai is by far my favorite host. He is just so multi-faceted, frankly I think the entire series could have been about him. His older sister is adorable, too... playing in his clothes, and unable to squeeze them back into the drawers perfectly. What do you think Kyouya will do in the future? I wouldn't be surprised if he starts his own business to surpass his father and brothers in medicine. |
 |
| I love Tamaki's and Kyouya's friendship. Fave episode so far. |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
| This was a really good episode. Made me laugh, I can't believe he let himself be dragged to all the sites and not complain to him and tell him yeah, not today until the very end. We get to see him snap!! LOL when he's so serious and composed. LOL |
 |
| I always wondered why someone as smart as Kyouya joined Tamaki's host club. Now I know. |
| Flower power! |
| This episode was really good. xD |
 |
| this episode was epic ! the flower :-o and tamaki's mon ami :D |
 |
| I almost started crying when that flower appear. Oh man, it was so touching there. Kyouya ~ >< Tamaki might be stupid all the time but he's a really nice person. He helped all the people from the host club and also lots of other people. This ending is just so warm. LOVE IT ! |
| This episode was so great and meaningful. I, especially, loved the painting. It is quite symbolic in showing how Kyoya surpassed his brothers. And Tamaki! You gotta love him! He seems pretty stupid at times but he's a great person. |
 |
theeggman85 said: That image of the flower coming out of the frame was pretty epic This. very symbolic. I simply love it. Nice episode! |
 |
| Definitely one of the best episodes!!! Didn't know Kyoya had to suppressed all of his feelings all those years. Kyoya's sister, Fuyumi is funny as hell XD It seems Kyoya has a lot of clothes in his clothes, but manages to fit them all in such a small cabinet. Love her voice, Kikuko Inoue! Seems Tamaki is already playable and a gentleman from the start XD I lol'd when Tamaki made all this requests, then when Kyoya is much more prepared, Tamaki turns him down and instead should focus on studying XD The Piano music is lovely and tearful! Kyoya finally snapped, but Tamaki assures that he's not trying hard, if he go down this path, he'll forever never leave his shell forever. The big flower at the end was a nice touch indeed!! Kyoya finally smiles at the end :) Last 2 episodes T__T |
| The painting metaphor at the end was really great. Kyouya is such a great character. Is destiny conflicting with his personnality is a tragedy. He's burning from ambition, yet he's stuck with a fate he didn't choose. Hearing french in a foreign language show always do me a little something :) Mon ami! Mon ami! Tamaki was so stupid with those japanese cliche xD I didn't even knew that he was a foreigner. But in the end, he's the one that got Kyouya out of his melancholia. From the next episode title, I guess the love polygon will reach his climax... |

| The painting motif is part of what makes this my favorite episode. TwT |
| I LOVED this episode! Kyoya needs more screen time, and that flower analogy fit so well -- the ending was so powerful |
 |
| Pretty funny episode, let's see what the two last episodes have to offer us though! |
 |
| This episode was so good! I loved the part where he said "Mon ami!" Ahhh I just love this so much! |
| Well, that metaphor was amazing~ And dem development. |
| This anime really surprises me sometimes with some stellar writing and beautiful imagery. The ending of the Wonderland episode and the flower scene in this one really hit home. Quite impressive how easily this anime changes tone each episode and makes these "stereotypical" characters more layered and complex than most characters in serious anime. |
LizzyLoves5 said: It wasn't enough to make me (or anyone-else) hate him, but even this far in, I'm still sticking on the one critical and nigh-unrecoverable error he made clear back in the beach ep, effectively ridiculing Haruhi's view on gender. He probably didn't realize it was such a faux-pas (especially since Haruhi never really called him on it that I remember), but it was, and I'd probably have knocked him on his ass for it if I'd been there.Tamaki is so vulnerable and yet so utterly stupid. His goal is to simply make new friends and explore Japan. This makes you love him and hate him at the same time. He has a lot of very funny moments whether he's pouting in the corner, or dancing around singing "Namahage! Namahage!" He is so endearing and so annoying at the same time it's hard not to like his character. Anyway, now that we understand Kyōya a lot better, it makes me wonder just what's going on between him and his brothers/dad behind the scenes - is everything okay over there, or is his ambition causing problems between him and them? Not that he'd betray any hint of it unless it got really bad, obviously, but still... |

| So Kyoya never wanted to be friends with Tamaki it was father who wanted Kyoya to befriend Tamaki. That symbolism with the flower going out of the frame. 2deep4me Nice episode nothing amazing but still pretty good. 4/5 |
| Kyouya + Tamaki = BEST FRIENDS FOREVER <3 It's amazing how insightful Tamaki can be about everyone. He played piano, and I saw Kyouya cried for the very first time. I love how Kyouya reacts when he's annoyed LOL. Kyouya's so happy to have Tamaki although he's idiot at times. <3 |
 |
| Amazing T^T The flower! And the whole episode was so good! |
| Yay! An episode based on Kyouya's past! :D |
| Somewhat interesting episode. 4/5 |
 |
| Tamaki is such a healing presence |
| The one you should really be angry at is your father, Kyouya. Oh well. And also, it seems his sister is not even considered to be an heir at all. Yikes. |
| Hooray for more Kyoya |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Quite easily the best episode of Ouran so far. I hope we get continuation of Kyoya's ambition, I wanna see how he's going to achieve his goal against his fate. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| That onee-san and her as if she is looking for something inside kyouya's cabinet was cute. Seriously, i find it funny. |
| Wow. This show is really something. What a great episode, probably the best so far. The flower metaphor was beautiful, and it was great to see more of Kyoya's back story. I just love how this show develops its characters in each episode. |
