So this season will just about catch up to the manga, and then one more great show will enter Chihayafuru purgatory :negative:

And there's just enough to do another season, but they'll probably wait until the current arc is over and Mashima's drama is resolved so it makes a decent 2-cour arc.

This is what happens when Takeo tries to help instead of Suna. We need Bro Training Camp.

Kurihara wasting no time, already a leg up on Takeo despite his six month lead. To be fair though, climbing a 30 foot tall tree multiple times when you aren't a superhuman like Takeo deserves a kiss.

Finally caught up with the series (and this thread), probably the series I've enjoyed most of 2015 so far.

KareKano is probably by far my favorite shoujo series, but I tend to try and forget any of that last post-timeskip stuff exists.

Really liked this episode. I actually like Yamato's friends now.

Too bad Suna was in the background the entire episode though.

My only complaint was that Saijou wasn't part of Takeo's friends.

I just want her to cameo, that's all. I want to know she's okay.

It was great to get an episode focused on friends, though. I don't want this anime to end.

I didn't notice her absence when I was watching it, but yeah Saijou would have been fun to have along there. It was basically just the guys from Takeo's school meeting the girls from Yamato's though, maybe they wanted to keep it that way. It makes sense that Saijou wouldn't want to go though, the wound of being rejected is still fresh and she'd be seeing Takeo and Yamato all lovey-dovey and the rest trying to awkwardly begin relationships with one another, or at least that's what she's probably expecting to see.

I really hope we haven't seen the last of her though.

I thought she was OK, but didn't really get a sense of her character beyond being into Big Tak' (much like Yamato...). Maybe the manga gives her a little more detail.

Still hoping that Yamato gets a little more depth as well.

Sakurazuka

At the very least I hope the last episode makes her a bit more aggressive about Takeo's complete obliviousness to to the physical side of relationships.

So where are we in relation to the nanga? If someone's up to date with the manga, can you say whether saijou is gone for good or continues to make appearances?

She has yet to make another appearance unfortunately We are near the end of Vol. 5. Anime will probably finish up in Vol. 6 just because the chapters after that are one big arc.

Yeah, something about Saijou's voice actress and look just made me take a liking to her immediately. Maybe it was just that she was a change of pace from Yamato.

It's funny that people were worried that there wasn't enough show here to last 26 episodes, when it feels like it could go on for twice that.

I'm bad at giffing, but I made one of probably my favorite moment in the entire episode, I think it's a bit big though so I'll link it. Also even though I tried not to gently caress it up and thought it was fixed when I turned off one of the settings in Gooncam it seems like for some reason saving the gif screwed up part of the black screen. I still have much to learn.

I know everyone wants this show to stay light and fluffy and avoid the traditional melodrama of the genre, but sooner or later Yamato is going to rape Gouda :gonk: :(

And he probably won't even notice. :( :confused:
