she's a girl, not a shelf

I usually watch an episode of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e a minimum of 4 times (1 time streaming, 1 time raw, 1 time w/soft sub, 1 time w/hard sub). I'm currently downloading episode 3 of Hana Kimi, and it'll take me about 2 hours to finish. Then possibly another 2 hours to compile caps to make my screencap review - for this episode, I'm just doing a

Just FYI . . the fifth (and sixth!!) episode of Coffee Prince are up on the soompi forum. The fifth episode is on the main page, but I think you have to go to the 148th or so page to find the link for the sixth episode.

They're starting to hit their emotional stride now, I think, and the characters are getting more fleshed out.

Everybody on the d-addicts forums was talking about how they liked this episode less than the previous two, because it was less funny and cracky and light, but I actually really, really liked all the emo-ness (When Mizuki comes into the classroom after Sano tells her to go home, and she's talking to Nakatsu and all them and he's just silently watching her!!). Plus, there was more Toma awesomeness, adorable Mizuki dressed as a girl, Yujirou the panty-stealing dog, and Sano begging Mizuki's brother to let her stay. Begging. How can anybody not like this episode?!

I'm contrary and that's okay

I think the summer drama season will be full of my love for Leading Dogs, because between Yujirou and Terry (Coffee Prince), OMG, CUTE DOGS! as plot devices! and yessss, as soon as I saw Yujirou going off screen the first time, I knew he was going to be the culprit.

I loved this episode precisely because they toned down a little bit of the hijinks (but they were still there, just not the focus) for the relationship setup/exposition between Mizuki and her brother, Mizuki and Sano, and Sano's little brother. I thought it was again, nice symmetry - her brother coming in and trying to control her life, and Sano drifting away from his little brother and having no control at all. Also, when Mizuki was running out of the dress shop - it said Romeo & Juliet on the store sign. Again, with the visual gags!

I often find myself disagreeing with fandom a lot. It's a fringe mentality I've kept. :)

I agree, I think they say it becuz they dun't understand all the speech, so can't blame them ^^; This is my fav eps, every character slowly takes their right places. Finally Sano shows some 'kindness' toward Mizuki... ah~

Who can imagine the cute Yujiro can be a panty thief ? LoL
