Onii-chan!

Short Summary:

After answering the phone for her her older sister, Kotonoha’s sister Kokoro asks to meet Makoto. Makoto becomes very excited at the chance to visit Kotonoha’s house when Kotonoha tells him this at lunch, and Sekai teasingly tells him what he is doing wrong as usual. After returning to class, Kotonoha is confronted by her classmates for putting off her duties. While riding home together on the train, Makoto embraces Kotonoha, but she runs off in embarrassment at the next stop. While this happens, one of her classmates has been keeping an eye on her. Sekai once again scolds Makoto for what he has done, and declines to go with him to the roof the next day because she is eating with friends. Kotonoha arrives to the roof late, but makes Makoto happy when she gives a date that he can visit her house. Sometime later, after meeting her at work, Setsuna confronts Sekai about her relationship with Makoto, and Sekai confirms that she is not going out with him. When Makoto visits Kotonoha’s house, Kokoro enthusiastically plays with him. After stopping to have some tea, Kokoro asks why Makoto calls Kotonoha by her last name, which creates an awkward situation. While walking outside afterwards, Makoto finally calls Kotonoha by her first name, and she does the same. Later at the train stop, Kotonoha asks Makoto to close his eyes, but he is surprised to find that she only kisses him on the cheek. At home, when he calls Sekai, Makoto claims that he is getting tired with his relationship with Kotonoha.

Impression:

Oh, the mental tensions and breakdowns are coming. I can feel it! I find it pretty funny how Kotonoha and Makoto’s relationship is obviously one done wrong, and I just can’t help but be reminded of the cheap dramas that are always showing here in the states. I also can’t help but laugh over the blatantly obvious boob and pantie shots they throw out at random. I know I should be expecting them, but it’s been awhile since I’ve watched an h-game adaption. Hahaha. Anyways, this episode pushed Makoto and Kotonoha further into their dysfunctional relationship, with an unexpected twist at the end. Looks like the conflict will be starting soon, and I’m looking forward to it. Once last thing…Makoto is still a douche bag. I think I’m going to say that in every post from now on some how.

Last week I thought the ending theme was just an insert song that was extended to the ED sequence. However, it looks like they will be putting in a new ED every week. I’ve heard that this is something brought over from the game. It’s a nice touch, but I probably won’t be mentioning them because the animations pretty much stay the same with the exception of a few new pictures in the cellphone.
