What do we have here?

Anyone else burst out laughing when Rikka jumped to Yuuta and landed in the bushes? I thought that was just great.

YES. I did.

Also, that Kumin dress, needs more screen time.

Also yes.

I kinda think that she is playing along with Rikka's delusions to help her cope, but she still wants Rikka to be able to see that reality is much, much different to her delusions.

I'm not sure, but I think all Touka wanted from Yuuta was to be there for Rikka since she always seemed lonely on these annual holidays, and maybe to distract her from thinking about her father. She didn't want him to get too involved in Rikka's past because she knew it would cause Rikka pain. She may look tough on the outside, but I think she has quite the soft spot for her sister.

Alright, makes sense now. Thanks.

I... really don't think this was necessary. Like at all.

What?

[themightydoof]

What?

This episode. What does this hastily-thrown together standard-issue TRAGICAL BACKSTROY NOW THE SHOW IS MEANINGFUL GUYS add to my lulz? Nothing.

[Jb]

I don't think this was too hasty. I mean, everyone else basically tried to hide and forget their eight grade syndrome. The fact that Rikka has done all but this, and the fact she seems so interested in the stuff has always put something in the back of my mind that something tragic might pop up sooner or later. Sure, they could of used a few previous episodes to lay the story down a little more, but can we honestly say we didn't see something coming?

Hell, this all could just be Rikka's dream.

[Charizard Champion#06]

This episode. What does this hastily-thrown together standard-issue TRAGICAL BACKSTROY NOW THE SHOW IS MEANINGFUL GUYS add to my lulz? Nothing.

Well I think it's necessary, since it's finally revealing WHY Rikka acts the way she does. Like I said way back when the first episode came out I've been expecting another moment like this to come around and it finally has. It's not quite out of the blue, the Ethereal Horizon that Rikka's been talking about throughout the series is starting to make sense. I trust KyoAni's got a good handle on the sad family backstory bit too since they've done it so many times.

[themightydoof]

Well I think it's necessary, since it's finally revealing WHY Rikka acts the way she does.

That's just my problem. The assumption that someone needs a special reason to choose to be different. That because someone fails to fall into line there must be some deep psychological trauma that messed them up. Given the forum we're on, I'm going to presume that we're all people who, like Rikka, chose not to distance ourselves from childish things as we grew older. Why not? Was it because we experienced traumatic events that made us cling to Pokemon for comfort? Am I the odd one out in saying that I simply didn't want to?

I preferred Kumin's interpretation of why Rikka acts like she does: 'It looks like fun.'

[TotalPotato]

Yeah, I agree with themightydoof on this one. I don't think Rikka needed a tragic reason for having a crazily overactive imagination. Having said that, I might still have accepted the reason if it hadn't felt like it was shoved into the story because someone felt there needed to be more emotion in there (and yet they still brought Shinka and co. along for comedy, which didn't work for me), but I guess I'll never know now. I'd probably still have had reservations, to be honest.

[Charizard Champion#06]

Was it because we experienced traumatic events that made us cling to Pokemon for comfort?

Yes actually. My entire family was killed in a ice cream truck accident after my house burned down and the only thing left intact was my Gameboy and Pokemon Crystal.

Kidding, I do see where you're coming from now though.

[Jolteon91]

Yes actually. My entire family was killed in a ice cream truck accident after my house burned down and the only thing left intact was my Gameboy and Pokemon Crystal.

Wouldn't you feel like a massive dick if someone hear actually had this happen?

Probably not as big a dick as the time you stole my Little Busters! thread, but still.

[Jolteon91]

Wow, just.... Wow.

[Jb]

Why does this stuff only happen in Japan...

[Charizard Champion#06]

WELL...

Nightmares forever.

[Bonetail]

Wow, just.... Wow.

I could have went my whole life without seeing that...

[themightydoof]

Wow, just.... Wow.

I think I like this better than the actual show...

[Jolteon91]

So many confession teases.

[Charizard Champion#06]

I'm really liking how they're handling Rikka and Yuuta's relationship right now. He seems like he's falling for her slowly, and I couldn't help but notice a bit of disappointment when she drew on his hand. Rikka however doesn't even know what she's feeling, similar to Tamaki in Ouran.

So yeah, most adorable episode yet. Hang in there Isshiki!

[themightydoof]

Remember when Tooka was a likeable character? Those were the days. Jk of course guys beating people up is the only way to help them recover from mental trauma.

The second half of the episode was pretty sweet, though. I hope things go back to being fun next week...

[TotalPotato]

So much sweetness in the second half... it threatened to be overwhelming, but it wasn't quite - instead it was really nice. Isshiki is totally hopeless, and I'd consider it a miracle if he got together with Kumin, who I'm not sure feels anything beyond airy bliss.

Also, did I miss something, or did Rikka mention she wanted to stay outside, and then the next scene with her and Yuuta was inside his apartment?

[Bonetail]

I loved all of those little teases for romance. My thoughts were "KISS! KISS ALREADY! Nope, pentagram. Eh, close enough."

[RLinksoul]

Remember when Tooka was a likeable character? Those were the days. Jk of course guys beating people up is the only way to help them recover from mental trauma.

She was likable? I thought all respect for her had been lost when she blackmailed Yuuta with that recording. Not to mention characters like Yuuta and sleepy girl don't deserve to be whacked with ladels.

Aside from that this was an okay episode. I admit I chuckled a bit at the part where sleepy girl ditches Isshiki at the convenience story. The decreased focus on Dekomori was also pretty refreshing.

[Jolteon91]

This would be awesome.

[themightydoof]

This would be awesome.

Meh not as good as the last one.

[Jolteon91]

Meh not as good as the last one.

That's hard to live up to though.

[Bonetail]

This would be awesome.

I don't want to click it. I'm afraid that this one will scar me as well.
