And is Shiro finally starting to live up to the hype  . + Show Spoiler [White Album 2] + Omg just finished watching the new episode, sooooo much stuff happened <.<. I feel like I have to write down my thoughts because they are too many D:. The people who wrote this show are dicks, maybe I'm over thinking but they put so many subtle details that leave me wondering wtf it meant, specially with Setsuna. I still have a feeling that girl is going to end up beheading Haruki and take his head for a ride in her parent's boat lol, there's something really odd about the way she acts. Unless I'm being misled in which case they are even bigger dicks. Those little reactions aside, wow you can tell this girl is head over heels for Haruki <.<, you could tell from episode 1 but this episode wow painfully obvious. As it was with Touma. More than once I thought Touma was going to jump on Haruki lol, not just how she reacted to Haruki taking care of her but telling him all that personal stuff, which she didn't have to. I definitely have to watch this again to count the times I was like "omg what? I have to rewind that..:O". They fucking teased me so hard with Setsuna's reaction to the song when they were telling her about it AND what Haruki said about what happens after the performance <.<, seems like shit is gonna go down :O!. CAN'T WAIT! HURRY UP NEXT SATURDAY!. I probably sound like a girl who likes dramas but whatever, I really like this show  . Also, silly BigFan, thinking LogH is from 2007. That show is so epic, one of my favorites. Looks surprisingly good (IMO) for a show that old. YES, YES he shall! He has been hyped so much, I'm hoping we don't get disappointed XD + Show Spoiler [White Album 2] +Watched it. Lots of stuff went down. Let's put it this way: Setsuna LOVES Haruki. Since the first episode, we've seen it. How she acts around him, him knowing her secret job and her spilling her friends background to him and such. We've known she likes him a lot so I think that also colors her perception a lot. Seeing the toothbrush at Touma's place, while it may have been partially about the whole friends left me and I have no friends thing, I think it was also partly due to her loving him. Love makes you do crazy things and she overreacts to it.
Why does she like him? I honestly don't know. I can hazard a guess that it's due to the fact that he treats her like everyone else. He doesn't distinguish her from others and I think she mentioned that in the first episode at some point. Maybe she seems something in him from earlier. For all we know, maybe he looks like a previous close friend or bf but I'm overthinking it lol. Either way, we know she likes him a lot. She got Touma to join the band, likely in part for him but also because she wanted to sing White Album with the pianist and guitarist.
Touma also likes him but she's not as open about it. I mean, we see Setsuna's reaction when he calls her by her first name and the way she acts. Heck, she was "hiding" behind his back or something in the train? I think he's also somewhat in love with Setsuna based on grabbing her hand and running out of the school. He could've easily just talked to her and apologized but he made it more personal and eye grabbing than it had to be. I saw Touma as acting her role. She's the type of person that acts one way when you talk to her but in the background, she likes him and appreciates it. Why te story? Sharing it with someone she's close to  Think about it. When have you ever shared a personal story with someone? I'm not sure what Setsuna's reaction at the end was all about. It seemed kind of like her reaction when she saw the tootbrush and freaked out that they didn't tell her. I guess she was taken back at this new revelation. We finally do know that the dream was him writing lyrics but Touma was to add the music which she finished and Setsuna will sing it. I'm not sure how that's a dream though tbh. He does say it took him three years so I guess it's 2010-2011 for them(2007 he wrote it, 3 years later) but I always figured dreams are much bigger and take much longer to accomplish. Either way, my guess is that Setsuna was just taken back and figured it was something between them again that she wasn't a part of but she held herself and went with it. I think after the performance, they are going to split up. There are going to be accusations flying around that he's in league with Touma or prefers her or something. If not that, the band will break up due to the fact that the performance is done and that was the main point of forming the Light music band, wasn't it? It wasn't supposed to be an everlasting thing. Mostly a temporary music group although I doubt he would want it to end. After all, Touma did say back in an episode that she is only joining for Setsuna but that she can't stand her since they are not alike at all. edit: after watching first bit of first episode, I was wrong lol. I think they won't break up due to the accusations as I previously but mostly due to Touma having to leave, maybe a missed chance or something. Spoiler below for more details! Just rewatched the first bit of episode one, omg! Can't believe I missed this: + Show Spoiler +TOUMA IS LEAVING THEM! :O At first, I thought that Haruto will tell her that he loves her and Setsuna will be upset since she was in the back with her head down but they were at a train station or plane terminal or something since the scene after, Setsuna clings to Haruto and like in the train, she hides or I guess just hugs him and such. I think Touma will leave after the performance is done. It said that on the second day of the fair, one Saturday near the end of November so this next episode which is the fair is the last time we'll see them together for a while I think her mother might come back and 'force' her to come along. Why now? I have no clue but her mother is the provider for the house and such so like in Toradora(father there), she can't just say no(Toradora is a bit different here) since she'll have nowhere to stay and such. Maybe the mother saw that she was indeed talented and gave her the chance of a lifetime. To perform infront of a stage and if you remember the last episode, she would be competing and chasing her mother. In the end, Touma chooses the dream over them and of course, they are devastated. Breaking down, crying, Setsuna is speechless and all Haruki can do is give her a hug hoping that she'll change her mind. She doesn't, maybe partially because she sees that Setsuna likes him(and wants to follow her dream) and with that, the band is broken. Setsuna never sings again and Haruki can't even play the guitar well anymore. In other words, PREPARE YOURSELF BECAUSE I'M 99.99% CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE CASE! hehe, a much better discussion than yours. You're losing TankLoveR!  Adding a lot of fluff just to create more paragraphs doesn't really make it a better discussion (bold'd), that's stuff we already knew. + Show Spoiler +I still think her issue is 90% with them being too close, not Touma stealing Haruki, also it's HARUKI not Haruto, gtfo that shounen crap lol. Sure she was a little jealous but I think her fear of being left out was way bigger at that point than omg nowai touma is stealing my man D:. Why Setsuna likes Haruki is as obvious as the fact that she likes him, now WHY Touma likes him, that's the real question here. She obviously liked him for a while since she seemed to know quite a bit about him and was paying attention to what he was up to, but why that is the mystery here IMO. I get that she shared that whole thing with him because she likes him, but she's usually so cryptic and tries really hard not to show any feelings towards anyone (guess: probably abandonment issues because of her mom). I thought she was going to stay that way for a while at least until she saw her mom and maybe fixed their relationship but yeah I can see where she's progressing. Dude how can you say it's 2011 when the clock says 2007? are you crazy? lol. He couldn't have been working on it since 2004? it says 2007 because that's the current year. Also a dream can be anything, maybe he wants to write songs and this is a step in that direction. 3 Years is a lot of time to be working in one of your dreams, specially if you're in high school sounds about right to be, if he joined the band because they were going to let him write the songs that sounds like a good idea for him if that's what he likes. Her reaction was for me half toothbrush-gate and half when they told her about the weekend thing, to be honest I don't know if it's exactly because she feels they are hmm hiding shit from her again like with the toothbrush, it felt different. I mean this case it wasn't even their "fault" they didn't really hide anything, Lizuka gave it to Touma and Haruki didn't know about it, if she thinks they are hiding shit from her again and gets mad over that then she's got issues imo. As I said, I think this girl is mentally unstable and or very two faced, I'm waiting for her to snap any second now. You obviously didn't get the school days reference hahaha but yeah, for ME she's crazy and Haruki should stay the fuck away. Now that other stuff is decent discussion lol. I never thought of it that way to be honest, I always pictured that was just Haruki chasing after Touma and confessing to her etc and she rejects him while Setsuna was around, didn't think she would leave after the mom comes back for the performance but that would make sense. It seems that the mom meant back when she didn't take Touma with her that she wasn't talented enough to bring her? but now she might be so she will ask her to come with her. That makes sense imo. It seems to me Touma wants to be with her mom even if she's mad that she was abandoned, kind of like Toradora yes. So I doubt she would have to be forced to go anywhere, but I'm definitely more curious bout this train scene now. I think Setsuna was super embarrassed by the whole thing that happened with Haruki, I mean you saw how insecure she was about wearing that dress in front of him, then he just grabs her and "steals her away", they jump in a train filled with people and she's dressed like that so she's even more embarrassed because there's tons of people looking and Haruki AND now she's holding him so less people see her BUT she's also holding him like that which I'm sure is something she wanted to do but it's also embarrassing because it's the first time. Setsuna is a mess as I said before, half of the time I don't know why she does the things she does, she's not as easy to read as Haruki and Touma because SHE'S CRAZY!. If Touma leaves and they are left alone I wonder if they are going to pull a Kimi Nozo or if she'll come back quickly to FIGHT FOR HER MAN GOD DAMN IT!. Hmm I'm really curious about if Lizuka is going to talk to Haruki about why the notebook, I mean hmm, I want to know why Lizuka thought giving it to Touma was the right thing to do as opposed to presenting it to the whole club (Setsuna). I wonder if Setsuna thought about that moment when Haruki shut Lizuka up as he was bringing that up while she was around, maybe she noticed that and she's like "hey if it's not a secret why did he do that?". That's a bit of a stretch but it's a possibility, I really want to know when Lizuka told him about giving Touma the song because I didn't see anything about that, did you?. Everyone at that school is going to think Setsuna and Haruki are dating now, I mean as if it wasn't enough they are calling each other by their first name, then Haruki comes and steals her away like that... I wonder if when Touma comes back to school she will hear rumors about that and maybe get jealous? kind of like Minori  . That would be interesting to see if something similar is on the way, would she even get jealous? She's so cold lol. To be honest after watching the episode I was like omg what? there was a lot going on (mostly Setsuna being crazy Setsuna) and I honestly couldn't articulate it all well hahaha <.<. I'll watch it again later and maybe post again see if I notice anything else, there is always more details to this thing lol I even look at the background specially in Touma's house to see if there is some subtle clue towards something lol. And yeah I really do think it's 2007, I doubt very much that it's 2011 lol O.o, why would the clock lie!? WHY!!!? :O A clock has no reason to lie to us, it's not like the clock is Setsuna!  lol. . I was doing a recap of what we know about her feelings and so >.> ps even with the 'fluff', it's still more insightful than your original post Only because you apparently just discovered there was an episode 1 lol, and Setsuna is boring when it comes to Haruki, she wants his dick we know why and since when. Now, everything else about her, bitches be crazy. :O so mean to Setsuna >.> lol. I went back to rewatch the first bit since I only watched it once.

WHY!!!? :O A clock has no reason to lie to us, it's not like the clock is Setsuna!  lol. . + Show Spoiler +well, I never said steal but yes, I agree. She sees them way too close and has issues with that. She is unrealistic though lol. I mean cmon, you want them to be in the same band but not spend time practicing seeing as Haruki needs help. I wrote Haruko because I think I read that from your post or that's how I remember it lol. I never said she's stealing er man lol and ya, she probably fears being left out a lot. I was merely pointing out the reasons for why she was acting the way she was. I think Touma must've known that it's him playing the guitar. I mean, he said earlier that the pianist would play along with him when he played so I think that would be part of the reason why she likes him. She developed rapport with him indirectly. Maybe she saw that he cares about her. I don't think there's anything wrong with opening up to someone who you may like. That or maybe she slipped and told him her mom stuff. There's nothing really secret about telling that her mom left her and went to Paris on her own although she does mention other things as well. I AM CRAZY! YOU SATISFIED NOW?????  I only said 2011 because of two things: Book cover was 2007 and he said it's been 3 years of hard work so 2010. Added 2011 since it depends on when it was in 2007. I missed the clock, what episode? time? Yes of course. I'm just comparing it to people I've known before who's dream was to become a doctor since they were kids, that kind of thing and when compared to this dream, it doesn't seem as long. I guess I see a dream as something hard to achieve but once achieved, it makes you happy then again, that's the way I was looking at it. Either way, ya, I guess it's a dream. ya, he said that was the reason to join the band as well. Well, I'm not saying it was their fault. She probably didn't like what was going on and how close they got. I think it's mostly that she's unstable and less so about being too faced. You take that back about Setsuna! D: Well, I see that scene as two things. Either Haruki confesses to her or he realizes that she's going to leave. Only reason I went back on confession is because I think doing it infront of Setsuna would be so heartbreaking for her and I'm not sure he would do that. Having said that, it might be a moment and it just happens that he confesses when he realizes he'll lose her. Both are possible scenarios imo. Yes, I think she wants to be with her mom as well. Well, you have a point. She was embarrassed and then he stole her away XD It did give her a reason to 'hide' behind him. She's NOT CRAZY! She's just had a hard time making friends, probably because she lost her previous friends. I'll have to watch that episode again to see what she tells him over the phone. Didn't watch Kimi Nozo yet lol. Good question, not sure on that but we're speculating that she linked the two. Thing is, to us, we noticed but to her, she probably didn't. We notice as the viewers since we see before and after  Lizuka gave it to Touma, maybe because he figured that she can do the music since she is talented. My guess at least. It was likely done offscreen, as in Lizuka told him offscreen. hehe ya, rumours are going around. I think it can only add to the show tbh. Will they silence the rumours or let them propagate? Toradora, they tried to silence them the hard way  Well, come back when? they are in their final year, aren't they? no time to come back if she leaves I think. Festival is late Nov means graduation in June. Even if she does get jealous, her fault for leaving them lol. I would like to see a jealous Touma though XD STOP CALLING SETSUNA CRAZY! POOR THING HAD IT ROUGH! True point!  ya, backgrounds are good to look at for hints. Maybe, I'll rewatch some more episodes soon enough as well. I never said the clock lied. Just saying that the timeline is screwed up with the dates and what he said when he talks with Setsuna about it at the end. SETSUNA IS NOT LYING! :O I will have to reconsider our anime friendship IF YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE SUCH FALSE ACCUSATIONS AT MY SETSUNA!  Response to your long rant I didn't respond to specifically. Together with this and my other post I think you'll have plenty to read my friend  , I'd hate to be you hahaha. + Show Spoiler +Haruki just took off with her and dragged her to the train. I think she was mostly embarrassed because she was in that outfit AND because she was with the guy she likes IN THAT OUTFIT IN PUBLIC, she was so nervous before about the outfit it made it even worse when she heard he was out in the hall O.o. Yeah she's crazy about Haruki :|. I think Setsuna is A) Spoiled B) a bit crazy C) she's acting like a bitch in heat with Haruki D) Jealous and yeah also E) Unrealistic. They are in a group WHICH she helped inmensely to kickstart by convincing Touma, as we know it seems like Haruki wasn't doing a good enough job. But then she gets mad when they spend time together, tell each other shit or just talk to each other in general lol, her demeanor says a lot about her more than what she actually says. If she keeps acting like this I won't blame Haruki for picking Touma  . You know before this episode and I still stand by it IIIIIIIISH, after what happened during toothbrush-gate I still think that it was mostly because she saw them as a group of friends and she didn't want the same that happened with her old friends to happen again which is like 80-90% of the cause of her emoness and jealosy attack was the remaining 10-20%. But after this episode... I don't know man, I think she was really just jealous that Touma is "STEALING HER MAN!" and like 10% the friends crap  lol, she's just so hostile and what I DON'T like about her is that she doesn't express it. Her demeanor tells me she's angry (the moment we discussed before in the piano room about the weekend, now this when she literally seems to be biting her lips not to say something outrageous and overly bitchy), that's my issue with this girl, she's obviously not being honest about her responses you can see she thinks about it for a while then goes in a different direction. I think a lot of that is her playing along with Haruki and the whole band crap I don't think she cares about, some ways I do think she wants to sing, likes to sing and she knows Touma is talented but I think if she could she would prefer it if it was just her and Haruki. I see what you mean about Haruki and Touma, I mean it seems Touma has been paying attention to Haruki so it's not a stretch that she knows he plays the guitar and that the guy in the room playing the guitar was him so she played with him. Not saying there is anything wrong with Touma opening up to Haruki, just that she seems to WANT to stay away from people because her mom abandoned her :| pretty much and she doesn't want that to become a recurrent thing lol. Just seemed sudden to me that is all, went from pfft I don't like you you dumbass to omg here's why I'm so bitchy at people all the time D:! lol. Yes you're crazy, glad you admitted it, otherwise I don't see how else you could like Taiga  . I can see that line of thought, I mean you're talking to someone who taught Setsuna went home the night of the sleepover and somehow took Haruki's toothbrush with her home, during the first time I saw it lol <.<. Yeah I guess it is odd he wrote 2007 when he's been "working on it for 3 years", from what I read he said "I only joined the LMA so I could write a song, Takeya was the guitarrist so I never thought about performing on stage. I mean, it's kinda like my compilation of my three years here" I'm guessing he means both high school and how long he's been in the club. As to why it says 2007, because maybe that's when he finally wrote this song? he could have written many songs before this and I'm sure he did if this one is good but yeah that's why it probably says that. Could be his dream to leave behind that song in her high school years, doesn't have to be a life long dream, there are no small dreams I think  . We can easily translate Unstable to crazy lol, but I think she's just very passive aggressive, I think there's more about her we haven't really seen. I think the way Touma went about opening up to Haruki was much natural, the way Setsuna asked Haruki out to go to the Karaoke and "open up" to him in such a forced way to idk try to win him over? was not so natural, to me that's her saying "You see I'm just a normal girl who has some weird hobbies but I'm not mean like some people might say". What you said about the train and Touma leaving with her mom made a lot of sense to be honest. To be honest I never thought about him "doing it in front of Setsuna", think of it this way. Touma is leaving, Haruki runs to the train station to confess to her, he didn't think Setsuna would be there for X or Y reason, he confesses and then we see Setsuna arriving to the train station to say good bye as well, Touma sees Setsuna and rejects Haruki because she sees Setsuna there. It also might be that they both went to say good bye or try to convince her not to leave, Haruki has a burst of emotion, hugs her and maybe confesses OR NOT but still Setsuna looks at them like T_T. Both possible but we'll see how it goes down. Also I doubt Haruki cares about the other girl if she's confessing to one of them lol, specially if he's another Ryuji and doesn't really know. GO WATCH KIMI NOZO NAO, it's short you'll finish it in like 3 hours  . You know I just realized something :O I don't know if I'm right but I'll add it in my 2nd rant which I wrote earlier haha <.<. Yeah you're right maybe we saw that but she probably didn't, she might have but it's a stretch lol. I'm still curious about when he told Haruki that he gave Touma the song, I wished they had shown that. I think the way Haruki talks about Setsuna to Lizuka (I mention this later) kind of shows he may not want any rumors, though if he didn't want any he wouldn't call her by her first name or if he did he would like whisper it to her LOL like he did at first before that scene  . Come back as in to Japan, she was born there, she's a japanese citizen last time I checked so why wouldn't she come back or want to live in her home country? even after being done with school lol, maybe they want her to stay so they can be a regular band or something or just don't want their dear friend to leave and stay in japan. Yes I want to see what a jealous Touma would look like, she's very "Ice queen" type that any time she shows emotion is an event lol. NOU SHE'S A CRAZY BITCH AAAAAAAH!. I don't think acting insecure and unstable because people wronged you in the past is a very good or stable thing to do lol. I get her friends sucked but that doesn't mean everyone else will do the same, specially Haruki after that phone conversation. I don't know my friend, if our friendship depends on whether or not I think Setsuna is hiding her true self then I doubt we can be friends for much longer  , I just want her to be honest with everyone, if she's mad and wants Haruki for herself then be fucking honest and slap that bitch Touma and fuck Haruki right in front of her  lol. I hate this "I'm totally bullshitting you guys with this attitude because of my idol status at school" bs. I can see the writers dangle this in our noses for a while until it reaches it's last unbearable boiling point. To respond to your other post, well I didn't mean literally bi polar I mean she obviously isn't but I mentioned many times my issue with her specially in the post above  . Now this were some notes I took while I was rewatching the last episode earlier. + Show Spoiler +There was another clock in this episode lol and :O shockingly enough it was still 2007  , there were 2 clocks lol one on the telephone which says 2007/11/22 Thursday (can't see the time) Lol I can't find the clock that's by her piano which has the time, I know I saw it... going through the episode trying to find it lol Found it! at 9:56 lol it says 2007/11/22 Thursday 20:36(This came after the phone but I didn't notice because I was skipping around).Just so we're on the same page about the time  lol and the date, don't want to think it's 2010 again. I noticed something else as I was rewatching the episode earlier and well now while I was skipping all over it trying to find stuff. When setsuna reads the song they gave her she says "Love beyond reach", "pretending to be lonely", "I was head over heels for you" I think the pretending to be lonely could mean he's referring to Touma in the song and that he's head over heels for her? could be a song about Touma and then Haruki says that Touma didn't fix the song when she got it. She said there was nothing to fix and then gives him this very hmm interesting look. That's when Setsuna goes from o.o to O.O. Maybe Setsuna's response was due to that, that she read and saw it might be a song about Haruki's feelings for Touma. If that is the case, I don't think it's totally irrational for her to be jealous at that part <.< then you see her sort of biting her lips which I think shows she is keeping to herself what she really wanted to say, I think she's crazy jealous type, even though at first she didn't want to be left out of the group, I think now both the girls are starting to see the other as competition, so she hated the fact that Touma knew about the song before she did and obviously that the song might be about Touma... You know, when Lizuka was talking to Haruki when he came to school during the festival after coming from Touma's house I noticed a few things. As Lizuka was telling Haruki how Setsuna couldn't find her voice, that she was petrified on stage, they go up some stairs and Haruki says "Are you really talking about Sets--Ogiso here?" I wonder why the sudden change? why he didn't just call her Setsuna when he seems so comfortable calling her that when she's with her, maybe she's still insecure about how people might see his relationship with Setsuna? doesn't want people to think they are a couple? hmmmmmm that's something to think about. Lizuka then says "I already know you and Setsuna are on first-name basis", "You should have sealed HER mouth instead of your own" then Haruki very nervously says "I-i wasn't trying to hide anything" AND also he told him "What are we gonna do about tomorrow's performance?" "Any way to handle Setsuna-chan's emotions? What about Touma's health?" I think he sees that Setsuna is quite fragile and Haruki giving Touma all his attention regardless of her being sick, makes Setsuna "Unstable" as you said lol. Which is totally irrational btw lol. There was also a moment that came right after when Haruki enters the class room where Setsuna is, I can see why Setsuna might be apologizing for AGAIN acting like a jealous bitch and not sing at the rehearsal because HER MAN WAS WITH SOME OTHER WOMAN!! GRRR!!. She says "I'm sorry Haruki, I'm not sure if I'll be of any help to you guys" (guessing she means the band, I wonder if it's because she feels her jealous side is getting the best of her or in general?) but then Haruki grabs her so suddenly and says "I'm the one who should be sorry, so I'll apologize in advance" I really don't get why he did that OR says that, what did he mean by apologize in advance? in advance for what? didn't he just apologize? sounds odd to me... this I'm so nice it makes other people look like criminals attitude he shows to everyone makes things confusing lol. One thing we totally skipped over that is like WHAT!? How did we not talk about this was how I thought it was odd how Touma sort of asked Haruki if he was going to go out with Setsuna just like that, sure he didn't hear it (That was like those AmiXRyuji moments  ). But it's interesting to know she sort of sees setsuna as a possible love interest for Haruki, I wonder if it's because SHE definitely admitted to herself she likes Haruki and wants to know if Haruki likes her as well OR if she's starting to see Setsuna as competition/worst enemy she mentioned earlier. You saw a bit of that as well when Setsuna went to visit Touma at her house and Touma asks her what's with the outfit and she tells Touma that Haruki insisted in leaving like that or something, she had this look on her face that made her look a bit jealous lol (I think). It's funny how both Setsuna and Touma have abandonement issues, Setsuna because of shitty friends and Touma because of her mom, that's why she probably told Setsuna she wouldn't call her by her first name (Which btw I think it's a tactic Setsuna is trying to use to make her feel close to her and by calling her by her first name might mean she would feel bad about stealing Haruki if they are close friends lol. I know this sounds like I'm paranoid lol but I wouldn't put it past unstable Setsuna. I mean she wants to get close to Touma and Haruki so she's forcing the whole first name thing on them to feel like they might be close friends and won't backstab her), because she doesn't want to get that close to people (because of her mom). She doesn't want to get hurt so she keeps people at arms length. I really wonder if Touma is the Passive Aggressive type like Setsuna or if she's more honest about how she feels towards people, I mean really honest not this I hate everyone so stay away from me act she puts up. After the 5th episode when she went full emo and was like oh well guys I thought here we were all friends but it seems to me it's just you (Touma) and Haruki, while you guys are leaving me behind. I think Setsuna's demeanor speaks volumes about what she's really thinking, I think she's crazy jealous that those 2 spend any amount of time together (Which is why I think she couldn't sing at the rehearsal, she feels insecure and probably couldn't think about anything else other than what Haruki and Touma could be doing without her ALONE at TOUMA's house), not just the insecurity of being left out due to the whole thing with her friends but she's in love with Haruki and she feels Touma is stealing him with every thing they share that she's the last to know about and whenever she's not around them. I think being around Haruki makes her want to sing and yeah Touma's piano doesn't hurt but I'm almost sure she invited Touma into the band 90% because Haruki wanted her there for her piano. From the second she met Touma she was already measuring up the competition, remember when she saw her the first time and she was like "damn she's a bit taller and she has bigger boobs D:", then she invited Touma to the burger place to try to convince her to join so Haruki would be happy even though she felt threatened (Remember how she almost told her "Oh so you do like Haruki huh?!" when that train went by) I think she thought she could keep an eye on them and keep those 2 in check if she's around. But then when she isn't and then all this stuff happens every time they are left alone that she has to find out later (if at all) about makes her even more insecure. This part is a bit of a jumbled mess I wrote down yesterday and today, also some of this came off from some discussions I had with a friend about it. + Show Spoiler +He agrees that Setsuna isn't exactly normal and that her attitude is odd but he doesn't dislike her and NEITHER DO I, despite what you may think lol. As I said the "rant" to end all rants MWAHAHAHAHAH! read on my friend. Not really a rant lol, more of an analysis of some interesting stuff I didn't post in my first reaction to episode 6 and since you were all "mwahahaha my first post was more insightful than yours", here you go  another insightful post to go with that one lol. Btw you totally skipped over my last post before my rant announcement post lol, just putting that out there before it gets lost like the Lost Toradora Rant that was never found :O!. You're watching quite a few different animes so I can't blame you for getting distracted or not reading this right away, I'm really into this one as you can see  . I shall respond to this in 3x the text  Joking aside, that's a nice walk of text and I shall read it and comment tommorrow thus the quotation. Having said that, I see the last bit. Ya, I see your totally into WA2 which is fine. I love the anime as well. I'm watching a lot atm although it's mostly Clannad After story now and waiting for other anime episode releases  I also planned to respond to that one but I got busy with Clannad and stuff lol. + Show Spoiler [Clannad] +loved it. At the start, I disliked Nagisa since she seemed like the boring always unsure main character but I guess she grew on me as the series went by. The other characters like Kotomi, Kyou and such who also loved Tomoya made it that much better. Fuko's episodes do seem to pale in comparison to the rest but it was interesting when I was watching them. I think kotomi's was one of the most interesting. The mystery of the background of Nagisa's parents was also interesting. That one episode where they all came to give food to Tomoya and he was forced to eat it all lol was great to watch. I think most important was the episode when Tomoyo was playing tennis and then Nagisa got hurt by the ball. Tomoya pretty much reacts unconsciously to block the guy from taking her to the nurse station was pretty much the nail in the coffin for any other possible relationships. Gotta feel sorry for Kotomi, Kyou and Ryou though. They really had no chance at all. Oh well lol. @slaughter I think I managed to spoiler some more stuff for after story ><; lol. + Show Spoiler +was mostly looking for character names since Tomoyo and Tomoya was confusing and I guess I read a bit too much on some unknown name I saw. Apparently, it's their child >.> well, I guess that's fine if I didn't read that Nagisa supposedly dies or something, possibly during childbirth ><; I gotta learn to check other sites from now on and stop using wiki for quick info 
Yea its pretty easy to get spoilered.I actually think MAL is decent for looking at brief character bios because they tend to put possible spoiler info in spoiler tags.
So you are done with Clannad? Have you begun After Story?
