I look forward to the deep frying on this episode (if there is any of course).

I liked this episode alot. It’s preparing us for some good revelations.

Tsuoi Rin is such a sweetheart. A shame that she is dead.

Kirika = best match for arrogant, jaded Kazuma

Tsuoi Rin = best match for nice guy Kazuma

Hehe. Can you tell I don’t like Ayano much? Granted, she is much brattier in the anime than in her manga/novel depictions, but despite her sweet moments, I still feel like she is undeserving of Kazuma. Hell, I would be happy if Yukari came into the picture! She’s the sort of saavy, witty girl that can keep up with our hero.

Can you imagine Kazuma/Yukari tag-team-teasing Ayano?

i think Ayano was calling for Kazuma cause she misses him being by her side..he got very distant from her in this three episodes, and i believe that makes her very sad, i think she is even afraid she is going to lose him as a love interest

Well didn’t mention this in the last couple posts but good to have these back usagijen. Yeah it really seems like Ayano is being taken down character wise by the anime. She didn’t raeally need to be calling out for Kazuma’s help since she was handling the fight.

It’s a situation like this that has helped me go for at least the first year Japanese course.

@MLeo: some group is translating the novel but it still hasn’t reached this far… hopefully, they’ll be able to translate all the novels, or someone picks it up for license

Learning Japanese of course is indeed worth investing, especially if you won’t simply use it for hobby / leisure but for business as well

@Abel: hmm… I think I’ve mentioned much about it in my deep frying… it’s like, the same events happen in the anime, but Ayano supposedly learns / grows from each of these events, unlike what’s shown in the anime where her character continues to be stagnant. She supposedly matures from each interactions with Kazuma and other people, as shown in her thoughts and feelings

Mm, I noticed that in a lot of your reviews, you mention how Ayano is being depicted as bratty with no maturation at all as compared to the novels. What moments in the novels were supposed to have pushed her development? So far, based on the events shown in the anime, there really hasn’t been any moments I would consider character-changing.

To bad there isn’t a translation for this. :’(
I think I would have bought it if I found it (in English, not translated by Gonzo, or Viz).
Perhaps learning Japanese is something worth investing?

Btw, I like the deepfrying series.
