soooo goood though :3
Yeah storywise they're still drifting away from the manga to get a proper ending in a 1 cour anime and I guess everyone knows what that means but everything else got A LOT closer to the manga in this most recent episode.
The scene between Iona and hyuuga is taken exactly from the anime, even with the weird faces and Iona actually looked like she's not mentally handicapped in that situation, so that's a massive plus.
All the takao service was obviously awesome

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that whole thing in the first episode about Setsuna, I can't find it atm and I'm probably running low on time before the episodes comes out so I'll update later with my finding . I'll have to rewatch episode 1 lol, gonna be pissed if they didn't say it in that episode :@!!.

You know I don't think her life is so bad, she has a wonderful family, yeah her father has a stick up hir ass but overall he's not bad, he's not raping her or anything lol and no one in her family is being abused or anything. So yeah she couldn't really ask for a better family, sure her friends from middle school sucked but not much she can do about that, people will disappoint you sometimes you just have to suck it up. If that's the most tragic thing that has happened to her then she's kind of a wimp . I think her fake personality is getting to her more than she would like to admit, I think part of the reason she's such a jealous person is because while she likes Haruki for treating her differently I think she likes the attention and can't understand why anyone would DARE like someone else instead of her. That might be why she's a tad unstable when seeing/hearing things about Touma and Haruki. Pure speculation but it might be the case that she is not nutty just a bit too "diva".

Here's a "transcript" of what I told you about enemy/best friend thing.
Touma: Just so we're clear, I'm doing this for Ogiso. Your efforts were in vain.
Haruki: But didn't you say you couldn't be friends with her?.
Touma: Not just friends, no. She can only ever be my sworn enemy or the best friend I'll ever have.

So yeah there you go . I don't remember EVERY line, I remember quite a few lol but I also have the episodes on my computer in case I need to confirm something quickly like I just did.

How can the song be about Setsuna to Haruki? HUH!? Haruki wrote the song, Setsuna was obviously just reading what was on paper I doubt she just said her own interpretation of the lyrics which apply to her relationship with Haruki O.o. That sounds odd. I don't really see why she would do that or why you thought that could be the case. I mean Touma was pretty much alone in her class, no one spoke to her, she just sat there sleeping on her desk and little did he know there was no one living with her either and he obviously like her I think. Even if it's an exaggeration in the lyrics of his feelings for Touma, is not a big stretch to imagine him being in love with Touma at this point.

Nothing wrong with being crazy about someone, at all. She's just a bit too jealous for my taste lol, it makes her look irrational sometimes like expecting them to not spend any time together. You know what she reminds me of? I had this friend I met playing WoW a few years ago, we raided a lot, pvp'd a lot and shit, we were in the same guild, then this new recruit came in, we both became friends with this person. Later we found out the person was a girl it didn't make much of a difference really, but they started to get close and then they became a couple, well after that the guy started to hate me and didn't tell me. I would go do something with the girl and she tell me the guy would get angry at her later :| because he wasn't around to chaperone lol. Crazy jealous person, didn't speak to him again. Turns out his previous gf cheated on him while she was away at college, so of course that meant me and this girl were going to have WoW-sex while he wasn't looking lol. That's what Setsuna comes off as, just paranoid that EVERYONE will suck and she will be disappointed. If you really expect everyone to fuck you over then it shouldn't surprise you when it happens and it shouldn't really hurt you but she seems to be like the guy I mentioned. Just jealous, over protective to the point of irrationality. I've met a lot of crazy jealous people, always disliked them :| I'm not that kind of person.

Maybe she's a bit like the guy and a bit like the dude from Suzuka, who did anything only to make the other person like them more. She doesn't seem to be as one dimensional since I can see there is more to her, may be a whole lot of crazy but we won't know until after the performance. It's not that I want her to make a huge scene but I think it's something that will eventually happen, as I mentioned earlier I think her fake persona sort of got to her a little bit and she might not react well to people rejecting her despite her liking Haruki for simple being different with her. Obviously she has quite a bit of self control, I wished that the person who isn't bothered was the real her as opposed to her just not freaking out because people might think she's over doing it and not like her. She obviously doesn't want to break up the band before the performance obviously.

This is a fucking long wall of text

NEVER I SHALL HATE TAIGA FOREVER! THE LEGION OF AMI LOVERS SHALL PREVAIL!. I mean there's only like 2 of you Taiga fan boys .
Yeah I don't think it should take him 3 years to write ONE song, I think to be a good writer and lyricist you need to practice a lot and write several songs, not work on the same 20 or so plus lines of text for 3 years so it made sense that the date was when he wrote THAT particular song. I think she was just trying to come off as easy going and just fun, I don't think she's that easy going, if she was more honest it would be better. She has an "Ami" vibe to her lol before she was honest with herself and knew who she wanted/had to be to be happy and not just this model cunt lol. You remember Ami, Setsuna doesn't remind you of her at all? She's not so outwardly mean and brutal but maybe.

Well I don't think Haruki would be mean if he confessed to one girl and the other one happens to be around, does it all have to be behind closed doors? I mean like you said nothing wrong with being crazy about another person, really what would you care about some other girl who was around if you want to tell a girl you love her? You feel how you feel, nothing else to it and I don't think you would have to be cruel to do so. Maybe he just got there before Setsuna and then Setsuna sees them hugging and stuff, I mean she's already pissed they spend time together and now they show affection towards each other in a hug or more? she would be pretty depressed seeing that. She could also be sad that Touma is leaving, that's true but we won't know for now . Let's wait and see what this scene means, I wonder which one of us will be right :O!. What do you mean it looked bad? wtf gtfo, KIMI NOZO TIME FOR YOU, NAO!.

Yeah Touma is just not very fond of getting close to people because of what happened with her mom, which is a bit of an exaggeration imo to think anyone would just abandon you mommy style. She definitely takes time to warm up to people, which was pretty easy with Haruki hmm I wonder why? . Lizuka is just not used to girls he can't easily approach lol, he's a fail playa lol. Idk why but I always got the impression they would expand this story beyond the bounderies of high school, but maybe they won't, we only have so many episodes and it has taken 6 episodes for us to see the performance, so I guess now we have left the later half of the show. Should be pretty interesting. I hope she stays though, if not for being with Haruki, to be with everyone in general. Maybe she doesn't feel the urge to be with her mom as much any more, though I would understand why she would since her mom means a lot to her like she mentioned in the last episode. I honestly don't know how Touma's question wasn't the focus of our entire first conversation lol, we were too busy going OMG LOOK HOW JEALOUS SETSUNA LOOKS AND HOW SHE OVER REACTS TO THEM BEING TOGETHER :O!.

I WANT TO SEE THE PRETTY FIREWORKS ALREADY, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH DRAMA RIGHT NOW . There is but it's mostly over reactions to stupid crap that doesn't seem to matter THAT much, sure by Haruki spending time with Touma it means their relationship grows, but I mean come on I want to see a cat fight or at least Haruki thinking who to pick. Taking TOO LONG!.

I know what you mean, I was also focused on her reaction but when I was typing that I literally paid no attention to that and only focused on what she was reading, I was just looping through that whole scene first reading the lyrics, then putting all together with their reactions to what was being said. As I said earlier Touma was pretty isolated in her class room with Haruki since everyone was more or less afraid of her. He could have a crush on her after her spending months there sitting next to him after transfering from the music class, she IS quite pretty. Also remember in the second episode when Haruki was looking for the mysterious pianist, he went to his class room to get his bag while Lizuka went to the locker to get his shoes, he bumps into Touma and he says the following:
Sorry.
Hey wait a second
Hold it!.
You seem to be ignoring me lately.
Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry if I hurt you without realizing it.
So please tell me what I did wrong. I won't know if you don't tell me.
Please don't be mad at me. We sit next to each other in class, after all.
So I think his persistency shows that A) They talked at some point before? since he's saying she's ignoring him now B) He doesn't want her to be mad at him and wants to fix whatever he did, so maybe at this point he had the crush? He did write the song already by this point. In a later they show her face and she didn't look mad or anything so I don't know what to think exactly lol. Btw I did watch the episode for this part , I was going to wing it but I didn't want to have to write this later AGAIN just to confirm what was said. I think it's very possible the song is about her, otherwise Setsuna is just mad that they worked on a song together and you know they bring her into it as well they didn't exclude her so she's just being jealous over nothing T_T.

You know what that part reminds me of? Remember when Haruki was writing down the schedule and he crossed the LMA off the list and was going to throw away the piece of paper? Later Touma picks it up and stuff. Then you know he finds Setsuna is a great singer and is all OMG I CAN TOTALLY DO THE PERFORMANCE WITH THIS SINGER, which is something Touma mentions to Setsuna later on that he was about to give up on the LMA until he heard her sing. Maybe that's why she was sort of annoyed at Haruki and ignored him outside the class room? because he didn't try to recruit her first and she had a crush on him? Big stretch again here, but want to know your opinion.

Almost done with my wall of text <3 yay. The raw just came out btw :O, the episode should be coming out in the next 30 minutes to an hour SPAM DAT F5 button on Nyaa :D.

You seem to think I'm trying to make Haruki look like a bad guy when that isn't the case at all lol, you have to remember this guy is a rookie with girls. Remember the phone conversation? Yeah. So maybe it's more about him being nervous/not ready for the whole school to think he's in a relationship with the most popular girl there is and the "prettiest one" as well. Or maybe he just likes Touma more and doesn't want people to think he likes someone else, both scenarions seem plausible to me. Yeah it just seems dumb to apologize over nothing really, it was just her being a bit dramatic. Touma WAS sick and she really shouldn't have gone there since she could get sick and not be able to participate in the performance. That whole part just seems like overdramatization from the part of the writers to me, I don't see why Haruki had to be so "Knight in shining armor" at that point, grabbing her arm, pulling her close like that and then stealing her away lol.

I don't know, I think if he had heard it he would have had some sort of reaction on his face, instead it seemed like he didn't hear her and went back to playing guitar like it was nothing because he didn't hear anything. I think her asking the question just signifies her feeling that Haruki is very dependable and responsible so she could do A LOT worse than to trust him and maybe develop even more feelings for him. I think she was over the moon with Haruki taking care of her, she would not leave his side and pretended it was just to listen to his guitar playing lol, I thought that was pretty cute of her . Obviously Setsuna doesn't REALLY mean it that way lol she's not that coniving but it would be interesting . That was a huge stretch mostly for lols I doubt that's why she wants that, it's just to be close friends and what not. Yeah obviously you need different characters, it's fine lol no problem with them being sort of polar opposites. It makes Touma look a lot better when you compare her to someone like Setsuna lol.

Lol that's not my intention, she's obviously jealous of them spending time together. Just a bit silly she invited her and didn't have a back up plan or something lol for when after they spend time together to pull Haruki more towards her. I guess being insecure was her default plan lol. She would be quite fucked up if she assumes Haruki would lie to her to that degree, I mean from Haruki's perspective he wouldn't be doing anything wrong by dating Touma because I think he's sort of oblivious to Setsuna's feelings. It would only be a problem if he's trying to keep it a secret to keep the band together and he knew how Setsuna felt about him, but like you said he's the nice guy so Setsuna should know that since she's the one WHO LIKES HIM lol.

I think she would have had a better chance of spending time with Haruki outside the band, I mean there is no reason why she couldn't approach him in the school lol. But she wanted to help Haruki since he seemed so fired up about the band.
