Minnie: Hello everyone! Look at this. It’ll be like the third week in a row where I actually blog on time. Sweet. Guess why? Because I have this nice block in between my class and lab that I can use for blogging instead of eating. Aren’t I an awesome HSA Leader? Anyways, I won’t talk about how I barely passed by Botany test today. Instead, let’s go onto this lovely episode of Kimi ni Todoke.
Minnie’s Overall Rating for Episode: 8/10
Minnie’s Anticipation for Next Episode: 10/10
Thoughts: Remember that episode where everyone went over to Ryuu’s house? This is one of those relaxing episodes with little to no drama. Let’s not forget they usually pump these full of Sawako/Kazehaya, whether they’re together or not. ^^;; No complaining of course~ Anyways, Pin is awesome this episode. You’ll see why by what I write below. ^^
Fangirling:
Of course… what other way to start off this lovely post than a lovely Sawako face? Sawako is looking good like always.
I love how realistic Sawako’s father is. This is exactly how Asian parents are like… judging others by their appearance first and everything else later. ^^;; I can’t help but feel ashamed of my own parents sometimes since they’re even worse than Sawako’s father. Thankfully, as we can see later on, her two friends will prove themselves to be the worthiest of friends~
Bubbles GO!! How cute. It’s like a family photograph but not. ^^;;
Caught, Kazehaya, caught! You can’t deny it anymore! MUAHAHAHAHAH!! Too bad… Sawako isn’t an evil shipper like me so she has no idea what this means for her shipping~ ^^ I love these two so much. Haha.
Make it happen, Sawako! With the roses and everything! The whole fandom is backing you up <3
CUTIEEEEEEEEEE!!! Speaking of which, my family is getting a dog after Valentine’s Day. Just saying. ^^;;
Pin is officially a stalker.
Oh nevermind. He just needs an exorcist for his cold. At least, he knows who to look for in time of need eh? Pin is not that dumb and I will defend him against his haters >:C
For these two, a phone call is like our version of ***. Yeah. I know. XD That’s how innocent they are. It’s so cute and I love the stars. Wheee~
Dude. Kazehaya. LAME! You’re using your dog as an excuse… Bad boy.
What if the doggy feels used?
AHA! Ryuu saw through your little routine. Speaking of which, Kazehaya should watch out before his friend runs away with his dog. o___O I can so see Ryuu doing that without thinking. Hehe. It would be quite an episode. Ryuu steals Maru… what will happen next?? *inserts dramatic music*
Pin looks better with his hair down. Just saying.
Because you want to gather a yaoi girl fanbase, Kazehaya. *shakes head*
Sawako can’t see the bad sides of people, can she? XD Or is she secretly a yaoi fangirl? GASP!
Although Kazehaya looks cute and adorable and all that stuff, Pin looks exactly the same… should I be worried?
Just a few inches more guys! You can do it >///< I love this screen shot by the way. It’s so pretty! ^^
Pin… you are officially an idiot. I wonder where he left his brain.
Woah there, Pin! Let’s not make any Pin/Sawako fans here! We should all back up Sawako/Kazehaya one hundred percent! In any case, I’m glad that Pin has become Sawako’s friends. It didn’t seem likely at first, but now, it’s possible. ^^ A friend of Sawako is a friend of mine! Plus, he taught Sawako a trick… hehehe.
Beautiful… simply beautiful. Many props to IG Production for making this anime so beautiful and heartfelt. Every single moment in this anime is played out so well… even more so than the manga I dare to say. >//< Gosh, I hope they work on more shoujo manga. ^^
Awww Sawako. You sweetie pie.
Ignoring the annoying tag in the corner, the moment after the almost kiss is priceless. For all you Pin haters, you should at least admit he did something worthy this episode for teaching Sawako this trick. <3 In any case, a kiss is never too soon with these two… especially by Episode 17. Seriously.
I want one already!! I love this couple!
Kazehaya, you shy sucker, you. Cute though~
In any case, this episode is quite rewarding and I’m looking forward to the next episode a lot. I’ve been dying to meet Yano’s boyfriend and he’s showing up next episode! Yay. Hopefully, there are more Kazehaya/Sawako for the shipper fangirls in all of us. ^^ Speaking of shipping, you guys should check out the shipping posts between TZM and I! It’s awesome and you’ll like it. Guaranteed. Anyways, time to sleep and take care of my health~ See you guys later!




























I think it’s kind of funny how you seem to like these between-the-drama episodes the least, while they are undoubtedly my favourite parts of this series. <3 The interaction between the friends is so perfect and, since they’re “filler”-like I suppose, they don’t drag on as I felt that the Kurumi arc did.
And I have to say that Ryu cuddling with Maru the entire episode was way too adorable. <3 On that note… YOU’RE GETTING A DOGGY?!
From where, what kind?!
Very pleased that they are moving on to the Yoshida arc; I was worried that they were going to skip it! Phew!
I was laughing when Sawako’s father met Yoshida and Yano. It was amusing how he based everything off their looks and was the only worried person in the house.
Yoshida arc coming up
Love Yoshida’s innocence yet very physical
99 win streak, yet still cries over love stories and is scared of ghost stories. brilliant!
and yey
The whole idea that Pin needed Sawako to perform exorcism was very satisfying. The Sadako has been falling away a bit… but there are some great scenes here with Pin’s flashback.
Yes, Pin is an idiot. I am liking him in these episodes, though. He had the insight and even a kind of subtlety to suggest the “kiss me” trick. Who would have thought he had even a molecule of subtleness? And he has a surprising grasp of Kazehaya’s and Sawako’s situation. So… is he also perceptive???
And Kazehaya, who is super confident in all things except love, is adorable in this episode. It’s beautifully awkward. Really loving this more and more.
