The Saya and Kirino “bestfriend” moments were funny as usual, also warm and fuzzy. Miya x Dan, so sweet. Even Ishida-sensei can say nice and thoughtful things sometimes.

More kendo action in the next ep! Weeee! Braver in action.

Dan’s special spin was sick, but the thing that this episode taught was always put your family ahead of Kendo, that was what this epsiode taught everyone, kidna like a kid type metaphor. but that was what i saw when she went to the hospital to see her mom.

some funny moments here and there, the thing that got me laughing was when sayako kept on slapping her on the back many times, and some other stuff ican’t remember XDD

looks like some suspense comign to tama-chans way i hope she can get out, that would be tight.

lol! I wasn’t making fun of you, I was just making a joke about the mail’s “secrecy”. But wow, I didn’t know the manga was in such an early stage….I guess we really will be entering anime original material… :S

@Totali: Don’t make fun of my funny english!

About the manga: I base my assumption in a Bamboo Blade spread I saw, depicting a big breasted girl (in kendo outfit) that doesn’t appear in the manga. Besides, the next arc after this one is not only incomplete but in a very early stage.

I hope they hire the mangaka as a consultant, because anime-only endings can go very wrong.

Rentington: LOL no actually. This has never reminded me of HIMM, though I love that show too. This show probably reminds me of Hayate the most in how it is presented, or it might just be the presence of the kendo club in both. Frienship power dominates the love vibes for sure though.

Nemo_N: Yes…I “got the mail” >:3. Thanks for that ;P. LOL the Dan-kun drill was just awesome. I definitely didn’t know that about the two sports players. I thought they were just two random guys. That’s awesome! Oh, and why anime original? Is the manga not far from this point yet???

Hey, you got the mail!

If they stick to the manga, next episode should be awesome at so many levels. After that I assume they’ll go with the anime-only arc.

I didn’t like how Dan-kun was acting so familiar with Kirino (drilling her back); get your oddly shaped head off her!

BTW, the football players (or soccer for those in the US) are the titular characters from “Kiyomura-kun to Sugino Kouji-kun to” a gag manga by the same author of Bamboo Blade. After the Material Puzzle box-set Tamaki wanted, this would smell like shameless self-promotion, but I actually like these crossovers.

Now, if we could get some of the kids from Today in Class 5-2 into Minami-ke Okawari…

Does this show ever remind you of “He is my master?” The art style, sure. And Reimi is a carbon copy of the lesbian stalker from that show.
