I loved this show, exciting to be reminded there are actually more episodes. I really enjoy social tension and awkward moments, the kind of thing where I have to pause the show to prepare myself for the outcome, and this show is full of them. Especially things like:

When Taichi and Inaba each confessed to masturbating thinking about the other. I basically died of secondhand embarrassment for them. xD

May have to watch it all again to refresh my memory though. Not that that's a bad thing. How could I of forgotten about the delayed episodes when I liked this so much! Shame on me.

^ yes! Shame on you!

....have to rewatch this myself as well >_>
Can't remember the story anymore.... This is th eon thing that annoys me in shows that I watch while they air, I can't remember them so well before I watch them again..

The social tension felt forced, but the awkward moments were definitely gold. I completely forgot about that scene.

^you forgot that scene?!?! THAT SCENE!?!??!? That was the scene of the year yo!!!!!

*misty runs to watch that again*

Oh for the love of god, this is so interesting I can't sleep at all. On episode 14, half way through. Feeling transmission is so far the best test for the five of them.

Edit -- Yea, this is the best twisted personality, behavior and emotion I've experienced. Plus, the depth and confusion was hard to solve until episode 15's title came, and half way through I understood what everything meant. And the love triangle is freaking amazing.

Damn this is really good. On episode 17.

Does nothing there feel forced to you? It all felt so forced.

[Mistgun_Zero]

Cause it is meant to be forced? I mean they are in a situation they really don't want to be and each one is trying to keep their relationship and are taking responsibilities like adults even though they are not, so yeah, it is going to be unnatural.

Only the beginning episodes, they were lashing stuff out fast. Probably by the second episode or third episode I simply didn't care.

The one problem with this is that they didn't include slice of life here and there - something like Sakurasou or Toradora did.

[Mistgun_Zero]

And thank god they didn't include slice of life. That would have ruined it for me. This series has everything in perfect balance for me. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Hmm I see. I would have preferred Slice of Life in it. But yea like you said, this was a really amazing roller coaster for me. Especially the ending, I'm like "what the fuck ... NOOO!!". Bitter sweet ending but I was really satisfied.

What more, the bastards started teasing us with newer characters. I'm really happy that everything happened in a period of one year, or about one year of their lives and they're all still students.

And here is a spoiler of what's going on in my mind:

Iori is fucking hot. I would hit that shit, right now. FUCK DAMN SHIT CUNT!

Perhaps that's why I hated it so much.

I like the idea of them being in that situation and having to deal with it, but it started to feel forced when you realized there was a mastermind behind it all. At that point he was like "Hmm, Im bored. Lets force drama and make the chick jump off the bridge and almost die!" It's that kind of thing I cant stand.

[Mistgun_Zero]

But wasn't that the charm. They didn't give in to the mastermind.

[Shohei-kun]

We have a different appreciate of different plot devices.

mistgun, characters in anime usually don't give in to the mastermind. So it is nothing new.

shohei, sure, draging stuff along and being stupid (jumping off the bridge) can be annoying. But if it isn't dragged along and goes with steady pace (not slow) and it is well planted, it is good. Sure, I would say it was a tad too dragged and too much self pity and stuff, but it was well written.
