Heh, personally, I think Mikan has a 'girl crush' on Yami.
Not a full tilt 'love' thing, she just really, really likes being around Yami, more than 'best friends forever', but less than 'lets get it on', if you know what I mean.
I suspect that if there is a 3rd season coming, Yami will be seen even more in it.
This season saw Yami 'exploring' her 'self', as in feelings she isn't used to and how to deal with her reactions to those feelings and other things she is finding out about herself.
I just realized that this is something I *should* have written about in my review, among one or two other things.
Something to do when I crawl out of bed in the morning.
Oh wait, it IS morning here.
About 2:45am more or less.
Havoc10K:
I think there isn't anyone who wouldn't have any crush on Yami-chan, and yeah, she did explore a lot about herself, she was always looking a bit down at herself, now she had a lot of time to see herself as a living being, she started respecting herself a lot more, Mikan helped her a great deal, so did Rito and Lala, Mikan feels about Yami more like as a sister I guess, I think that would be the best way to describe it.
It wouldn't surprise me if Mikan decided to have Yami-chan live with them in their house, Having Yami with more screentime is a lot of happy, but I also want more about Mikan, if Lala's mother is to show up in the anime, she will in the third season, should it arrive. I just might start reading up the manga, but for some reason the show is too nice to make me think there could be any deviation from the main plot.
As much as I love Lala, I want also more about other girls, we learned a bit about the prez girl, a little bit into Mikan's school life, but we need more.

"Asobi ni Ikuyo!"..... turned out to be something I was not expecting.
I chose this as my next anime to watch based on about the first 5 minutes of the first episode.
What I saw in that first 5 minutes made the series look like it was going to be an ACTION, blood 'n' thunder anime......
I was wrong.... sort of.
It turned out to be an action/comedy/romance(?).
I guess I should have payed a little extra attention to that "!".
Pretty much any anime I've seen that has "!" at the end of it has been comedy or along that line.
If you are into Nekomimi in any way shape or form, this is for you. There is also a Doggirl ( Jen, Female with floppy dog ears) that is also rather nice.
The basic storyline goes something like this;
Our hero, Kio, meets a girl with cat ears and tail at a memorial service for one of his ancestors.
Unfortunately, he drinks something there makes him pass out.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in his bed at his Uncles house, sits up and notices a lump in his bed next to him, which he uncovers to find.... the catgirl from the memorial, Elis.
Did I mention Elis is rather well stacked?
From here we find out that not only are Elis's ears and tail, very firmly attached, Elis herself is an alien, from Catia.
From here, we find out many many things.
Elis is on Earth as an observer and data collector. To help her in this job, she has a number of small robots called, 'assistaroids'.
We also discover that two of Kio's school friends, Aoi and Manami and one of his teachers, Maki, are not what they seem.
At one point, we discover that Aio is in love with Kio, but hasn't proceeded past calling him 'Kakazu', his family name.
It seems that Manami, while being Kio's childhood friend, has convinced herself, that she isn't in 'the game' and so sets herself to helping Aoi winning Kio away from Elis, who has her sights set on him as her first 'mate'.
As the anime progresses, we discover that there is another alien on Earth, but this one is from 'Dogisia' and she intent on preventing 'Catia' from opening diplomatic relations with Earth.
It appears that at some point 'Dogisia' did something bad and the Galactic leaders, the "Orsonians"**, beings of pure intelligence, have stated that the 'Dogians' shall not open diplomatic relations with any other race again.
The anime moves along a path where various people try to and on a couple of occasions, succeed in capturing her, but our girl Elis is very capable, plus she has some very determined friends to come to her rescue by this time.
In amongst all this, we meet the crew, including the Captain (Cuune), Doctor (Dyureru) and other ranking officers of the main Starship, that Elis is part of.
The last three episodes are where the action picks up.
The Dogians launch a nefarious 'sneak' attack on the main Catian Starship, causing it to run out of control on a collision course with Earth.
How the good guys manage to sort that out is something you will have to watch the anime to find out.
Suffice to say, it's a 'happily ever after' ending, with a few things left undone. There is room for another season, but to tell the truth I won't be in any great rush to watch it.
** The name may not be correct.
Going to watch 'Sasameki Koto' next, for a change of pace.
edit: I was just wondering how many actually look at this thread..... and then noticed that it has over 6500 views.
I guess that means a lot of people are at least checking the thread to see what is going on in it. This makes me happy. :D

Mic, no offense :)
if you know what the title says, it's pretty obvious :D
"We came here to play!"
is what the anime title is.
I loved this show, and not for the echii, I love fun anime and this was rather fun :)

My problem is.... I don't read Japanese. lol
Maybe I should start using a translator on the titles, so I have some idea of what I am getting into.
Anyways, I suspect I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't expecting something else.
Mind you there was plenty of action to go around.
As for it being ecchi.... I didn't really notice, there was actually very little to see.
Maybe I'm learning to ignore it in favor of the story.
As far as Elis goes..... I want one. :D
