This anime is good but the comedy in the title is often a lie.

It wasn't exactly about self sacrifice, more about thinking of others because Yui is in love with him and Yukino knows (and is maybe in love with him as well) and he half knows and did it anyway possibly knowing that hearing him say that to someone else, even if he didn't mean it, it would hurt her, maybe even because he could say it so easily and not mean it.

I'm still not sure what exactly is going on with glasses girl though.

Hayato take it down a notch dude :sbahj:

Nah, Hayato owns and going 'Hey, see what it's like?' was a pretty decent shot at showing Hiki the real cost of his actions.

HikkiXSaika is my OTP and I seriously wish the show would go in that direction instead of just playing it for laughs.

I love how this episode presented us with the perfect answer to the problem if Hiki didn't have to always solve things the way he does only for him to summarily reject it in the last line.

To paraphrase: 'if life were a videogame would I go go back to my last save and try again? Haha, no.' after student council girl gives him her ideal scenario, which would have worked out much better, or at least been less underhand.

Seemed more like it was specifically to do with how he handled the student council thing last episode.

Part of the charm of the show is that things aren't explicitly spelled out and you do have to work out what people are thinking.

Though in Haruno's case it's because she's The Joker.

I'm going with 'she's just embarrassed by the whole' thing, though there is definitely room for interpretation.

There was a lot of inner monologue but he also said enough out loud for them to react like that.

My sad SNAFU tale is that I dropped the first season a couple of episodes in when it first aired because it seemed an okay but mainly generic harem thing. I only went back and watched the whole thing a few months ago when I found out it was getting a second season and I remembered it being not bad. It turned out to be not what I was expecting.

She was beginning to become increasingly unhappy about the way Hikki did things, culminating in the student council elections which presented her with an opportunity to go 'oh well, guess I'll HAVE to be president' because she really wanted to but can't be honest about, but his solution just ended up maintaining the status quo again.

Pardon me if this has already been explained for the billionth time, but is there any reason why Yukino couldn't just tell her friends that she wanted to run for president?

I think she just doesn't like doing what's expected of her, with a her family background being the student council president Ojou-sama type is practically in her DNA, even if it something she would actually want. There's an exchange between her and her sister about it, but I can't remember the details. :(

I'm glad the last couple of episodes seem to be focusing on Hayato because I'm still not sure what his deal is.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen lip syncing in anime before.

Akira is one of the few examples of 'prescoring' in anime, which is where the voice actors record their lines first, then the animation is done to fit the actual mouth movements.

I don't thinks its choosing a degree, seemed more like the 'options' we get in the UK in our last two years of high school, where you get a limited choice about what subjects you want to pursue. 'Liberal arts' probably just focuses on history, geography, languages etc.

Jesus christ that episode. Apparently the japanese don't have an equivalent phrase for "go suck a dick", because nobody has said it to Haruno once yet.

The trouble with that is that she's not exactly wrong, she just kind of goes about it in a particularly dickish way. Everyone is still just pretending things are fine without having to face up to their feelings, the only difference was that somewhere along the line they'd decided they were okay with that.

Yukino's mum was way worse when she started freaking because what, her daughter was out later than like 8pm?
