Hot screen shot of the imouto at the commercial break, eh?

Do people really become so damaged, as the girls on this show, just growing up? And more and more I am thinking of Yukimura as a girl. And yandere at that, for his lunch service to the nun.

I wonder if they got the idea for this show from How to Lose Friends and Alienate People and Haruhi.

I'm starting to really dislike Yozora for what sie is doing with Sena. IMO in this episode she crossed the line and she deserves a bitchslap. And I would've agreed about them being on a way to become best friends if not for two facts, they are women and like the same guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaOUnwfD1dQ

And as for Yozora telling Kodaka about their past. IMO it shouldn't in any way change his love interest. Why? She was just a friend. If you would've found a lost friend after x years who happend to be a girl, would you suddenly change your love interest? Sure, I would be happy about finding an old friend but that's all.

And Kodaka and Yozora has similiar phone abilities to me xD

I don't think Kodaka knows how to create a denial of service phone message. BUt then, now that he fixed Sena's phone, maybe he does.

And until this episode, I thought I was a luddite. NOt even close apparently.

I agree with Garret, Yozora is getting painfully difficult to like with how sadistic she's being to Sena.  She's crossed the line between playful teasing and evil bitch a little bit.

It's kind of disappointing, since the flashbacks Kodoka keeps having imply that he's going to choose Yozora over Sena in the end.

There is a big difference between Yozora and Sena, Unlike Sena, Yozora can't bring herself to admit defeat and ask for help, so she vents her frustration on the only person that is willing to submit herself to even bad treatment, because she is being treated like a normal person (kind of) and not like some rich spoiled princess. She will keep it up, winning over Kodaka on the way.

Lets sum it up, Kodaka's attention gains:
Kobato - 6 (after all they are siblings so he does pay her moderate level of affection)
Yukimura - 4 (Vassal)
Nun - 3 (adopted sibling of sorts)
Sena - 3
EroGenius - 2
Yozora - 1


No matter how you look at it, all girls in this club have their eyes on him for one reason or another (and 1 trap) but only Sena and Yozora developed romantic feelings for him, Sena is kind of expressing them, and Yozora is simply unable to probably due to their past, and the fact that she was unable to tell him the truth.

it's kinda a general rule in harems that it's always the first girl. i'd be darned glad if it isn't, like say. in this case, glasses girl.

Just be careful that doesn't get behind you Ben. Or do we have to call you Mr. Dover?

Kodoka does not like Yozora's cruelty at all. And it is not what the two of them fought for when they were little. Any feelings he could have for her will have to wait until she either 'grows up' or at least goes back to fighting for justice, and not simply to be top dog.

oh hey, i forgot about this series. Ive been reading the manga and really enjoy it. I guess i'll check out the anime. Though some of the screenshots ive seen have me disliking the art style a bit. I havent read anything of the original novels, wonder if theres any translations for them

Just wondering 2 things:
First, for those who read the manga, how is this? As good as that at least?

second: What groups the best bet for this? I notice Mazui is subbing it, which would be cool, since i like a lot of their work in the past. But i hear after their hiatus they lost some of their key staff members. Are they the best bet for this series? Or is one of the alternitives a better bet? Mazui isn't rated very well for this series on ADB. I dont see much of an alternitive though.. Just Chihiro really, and they usually suck pretty bad

*edit* err why do they list it as boku ha tomodachi for the file name? That seems wrong

From Ulrezaj:

Figures it's the first question. We chose "ha" because in almost every romanization that's how it's written, and also because the japanese short form for the title is "Haganai".

So far my Yozora <> Sena theory seems to work out.

update your codecs, and I suggest you switch to 10bit codecs.

mpc-hc 32 bit + newest beta ffdshow build, disable all dxva in mpc.

Unfortunately as much as I love dxva (your vid card does rendering instead of cpu) 10bit and dxva doesn't work right.

This works fine if you don't need codec pack fluff. If any issues just install cccp as it preconfigures for software rendering and 10bit.

This last episode reminded me so much of Urasei Yatsura. The constant battles between Moroboshi Ataru and that rich snob dude. Who I guess ended up as about his best male friend. The rich kid who had a serious case of claustrophobia. I see Sena's dad in that role, and while Kodama is not exactly the lecher Moroboshi is/was, he's got that role for this episode. Sena's dad had his own weird weakness that made him human, for all his worldly wealth.

So if they continue on in this manner, I can see this anime suddenly becoming a long lived anime. Urasei ran for years. I suppose the main qualifier as to why it will not, it is not exactly kodomo, for mina-san.

Yeah, and quite a development here as well, although some might miss it.
Next episode will be a lot better in starting to expose a few things. At least that is what I think.
The ending picture is too damn cute.
