Roffle. This episode had me laughing my ass off. I rarely do get good kicks out of anime, but I loved every bit of this episode. I start to love the characters, each more and more! I couldn't get enough of Minorin! She is sooo cute. Taiga especially in this one too, the whole dream thing...awhs. Taiga describing Ami being naked, "boing...boing..." XDD! I want MORE >:3 I wouldn't be suprised if it was Ami behind this spooky stuff, she seems annoyed at the fact Ryuuji doesn't pay too much attention to her, dun dun dun.

This was a cute episode. It was great to see a different side to Minorin when she was talking with Ryuuji about how she doesn't believe in ghosts because she can't see them. Loved the subtext there.

Highlights of the episode for me:
•Minorin's snapshots of naked Kitamura
•Ryuuji whining to Taiga after he was tricked by Ami
•"Boing"
•Seaweed monster xD

Minorin was freaking awesome in this episode. Everytime she had some screentime she made me laugh really hard :P And Taiga is really cute to. Points for Kitamura tho, the sheer guts to go in the kitchen naked with 3 girls...

Am I the only one who wouldn't be sad if Ryuuji ended up with Minori? I think either couple would be cute. I just wish Taiga would show Ryuuji more appreciation if they're going to end up together.

I did like the scene at the end where they're sitting in the livingroom. She warms her feet on his back - it shows such great closeness you never see in anime.

So here's what I think.

Kitamura likes Minori because he already understands that it wont work with Taiga unless they get to know each other better (which isn't happening) and get to the point where her and Ryuuji are at right now.


D: I kinda-sorta agree with this, but it's only episode 9 out of 25... so there could be development with Kitamura and Taiga, you never know.
I don't think Kitamura has any romantic interest whatsoever on those 3. He basically went out with them because he wanted to have some fun over the summer. There's just not enough to go on with him though. At least we've got to learn some things about Minori, but Kitamura is a big blank still.

Him and Minori are in the same exact boat as Taiga and Ryuuji, they click. If you havent noticed they do a lot of things togeathor aside from club activities. They also seem to pair up any time theres activities. It only makes sense that Kitamura has some kind of feelings for Minori.

Probably the best episode yet. Lots of great moments from everyone. Next episode looks even better.

At the moment, I don't know who I want Ryuuji to end up with, and I want to see some more development and background with Kitamura and Minorin before I decide who I want to support.

Well, I guess that's true, but I think I'd wait for my final judgement on that side. Kitamura really is too blank right now. Actually, that's the main reason I hate the Kitamura x Taiga pairing right now. Kitamura is just so bland.

More Minori x Ryuuji !

I think Kitamura will end with Sumire (The girl of the student council). Ami ask about the coucil to Kitamura like she knows something.
But what happen to Aisaka ? I don't hope she'll be with Ryuuji, he really deserves Minori.
Minori is really weaker than she look like (we saw that when Ryuuji&Minori were closed in the storehouse) tthey are a really good match.
Ami is the one who know everything, she know about Ryuuji+Minori and the "maybe couple" Kitamura+Sumire. She'll probably end with no one but she don't really want to anyway.

Except if Ami finally change to her real "not this bad" her, she may end-up with Kitamura...

I don't think Kitamura is a blank slate but bland he is. But I just read through a few volumes of the manga and he's bland there also.

I actually think there's more between Kitamura and Ami than Minori and Kitamura. I'm rather surprised that people think their viable. To go to Leon-Gun's statement, I think the reason they're so alike makes them rather deplorable together. Their great as supportive friends for Ryuuji and Taiga, but as a pair their rather unappealing.

I think it's because Ami has so much character and the fact that Kitamura sincerely cares for such a self-centered and I personally think (because she needs more development but has a lot going for her) a needy person as Ami says a lot. He doesn't mind her attitude similiarly he didn't mind Taiga and actually liked them more because of it.

In some way I find that Ami and Taiga are far more alike and I can see why Kitamura liked Taiga, probably vicariously using Taiga as an Ami replacement of sorts and no one can deny that Ami is attached to Kitamura.

I just don't see anything between Minori and Kitamura.

Yup, and I heard somewhere there's a chance there will be two more sequels or something, or at least one. But don't quote me on that.

I'm actually hoping for a live-action like H2 and Honey & Clover got, that would be too die for. It would be a wicked romance.

Understood. I like Minori but Ryu's fascination with her is just an infatuation gone on for too long. She's sweet and different and I get that. However I find that he has a fully developing and amazing relationship with Taiga. He's been able to be candid with and have her as his biggest supporter as he is for her. With Minori, there's nothing more than a level of superficiality. That of course can change later on, but I think the creators have created the path already.

I'm of course then rooting for Taiga and Ryu. Minori is sweet, but I don't see anyone really matching with her. I think Kitamura would be better off with Ami.

No you're not. It was something I was wondering about when I saw the episode. I didn't get why that was brought up. I think that Ami may like Ryuuji, but again it grew out of her need to upstage Taiga. Not necessarily out of any need or romantic feelings towards Ryuuji. I do think that Kitamura has strong feelings for Ami, big time. He probably joined along, because when we see the ep before Minori was the one who wasn't a fan and Kitamura nicely pushed that everyone should go when Taiga invited herself. It just pieced well together.

This is the part where I start to like Ami more than before. She really has feelings for him and wasn't playing around when she asked him to go to the beach. The novel's details hint in that direction anyway. Though maybe she wanted to spend some time alone with him to question him about Kitamura...?
Minori is also very likeable in this ep.

Overall I'm a bit disappointed as they rushed through the whole thing compared to the novel -- yeah I know, anime discussion only, I know, but still. The scene with Taiga and Ryuuji was much more developed in it, plus some other things happened which I'm not gonna spoil since it could come back in the next ep.

Also at the end it's pretty obvious what's happening, they're not even thinking one single moment it could be the others trying to play a prank on them.

Hell yes! RxT is simply perfect.

(lol, 1 day ago i was rooting for RxA)

This episode was great.

As for you guys trying to understand kitamura, chill.
You speculations are probably right, but try not to think too hard about it.
It only screws up with the story...


Jeez, taiga was going to say it...

I wonder if Ryuuji is daft or dense, or just plain stupid.
No, really.
He understands everything people around him say, but when taiga is going to fess something up, in a quiet room, close to him, he never hears.

Come on.

Fantastic episode, one of the best I've seen this season seriously. The structure of the episode was perfect, the characters' relation and direction too, and everything felt so original and shiny that it's really a good achievement for a comedy/romance anime. Much deeper than what it seems too.

Oh, and when I was beginning to doubt, the scene with Ryuuji under the stars made me remember it clearly : Minorin is an absolutely awesome character, much less an airhead that she wants everyone to believe.


Sums up my thoughts pretty well.

This series is great so far lmao! So many funny scenes in this episode! I liked the scenes when Minori and Kitamura were greeting them when they came in, and the the one right after when they greeted Ami lol. Lol at the towel scene, aha Minori and her crazy picture taking, then the towel falls off, but Ryuuji saves the day aha, then tells her about the seaweed spirit. The part when Minori was talking with Ryuuji in the veranda had so many questions to be asked (at least for me). Like when Minori mentions seeing the seaweed spirit and Ryuuji is shocked, she says asks Ryuuji that would he show her the seaweed spirit one day, with Ryuuji not noticing, Minori changes the subject. My question is, What seaweed spirit is Minori talking about? (The spirit, or the er..lol). The ghost effects in the end... hmm not sure, but I'm guessing it's the other three lol, if not, then then have a story coming up lol. So many other scenes I liked, but I see they were a ll covered in the previous posts, can't wait to watch the next episode!

Just take all of Ryuuji words and Kushieda's of ghost as well as paranormal and replace with love or equivalent terms deemed of love meanings.
