Hatsukoi Limited ep.3 & 4

Ep.3 - A cute episode that implies a “budding romance” between Kei and Kusuda. It’s quite obvious that they’re gonna end up as a couple later on. I have no objections with these two getting together as I do think they're well matched, personality wise and all. Nevertheless, Kusuda was hilarious as ever. His looks may be “so-so” but he’s quite a gentleman; gotta respect that. (looks can really be deceiving, even in anime) :lol:

Realizing all of these “pairings” is really amusing; such “fate” these characters have with one another (it's a small world after all) which is somewhat ironic but not really. It does happen in real life just less the outrageousness.

Well, all characters are also very likable (so far) thus making the series very enjoyable to watch (plus the "fan-service" of course!). Next episode, if I’m not mistaken, will feature Yuuji and Misaki’s encounter. I so can’t wait to see that.

Lastly, that’s a very lovely cell-wallpaper you’ve got there Kusuda!



Btw, this episode showed why Shizuka Itou is one of my favorite female seiyuus; along with Mamiko Noto, Nana Mizuki, Marina Inoue, Maaya Sakamoto, Rie Tanaka, etc.

Ep.4 (in awhile...) that's a much better snapshot! :D
MISAKI FTW!

Unfortunately, a few chapters from the manga have been skipped... since the adaptation was only scheduled for about 11-12 episodes... (it makes me sad somehow)

Good episodes. Kei is so hot in that cheerleading outfit. However, knowing Kusuda he probably did more to her when she was sleeping that we didn't get to see. 8) And Yamamoto is smokin'! :o I think it is kind of dumb she said she fell in love with that guy pretty much because he put a lollipop in her mouth. Not that I didn't enjoy watching it, but who knew they had such magical powers? :)

I must say that I still liked the previous one overall. Maybe I was spoiled from having read the particular 4-5 pages of the manga where the "lollipop" incident happened; though I hardly doubt it. Koyoi's antics wasn't much fun as compared to Kusuda's and that's most likely why... and despite having a quality on-screen appearance, Misaki alone simply wasn't enough to win this episode any favor. I'm not saying that I didn't like it (I actually did enjoy it), it's just that the "cutesy cheesy feeling" (as I call it) failed to surface.

As silly as it may seem (Misaki is) for falling in love with a lollipop or with Yuuji for that matter wasn't really all that strange... as I do believe that falling in love with someone is already "silly" in itself to begin with. :lol: There's even "love at first sight" as some would call it. Seriously, "love?!" due to physical attraction alone?! Fuckin stupid if you ask me; even if there's somehow an intangible feeling of some sort that comes along with it or whatsoever... Love is love as we know it. There's not even a universal definition for it; it varies from one moron to another. (j/k) :lol:

For now, it's definitely safe to say that whatever "magic" or "love potion" was coated on that lollipop, Misaki had developed a slight interest in Yuuji. It isn't really going as far as what may have been implied. For all I know, it may have been just a misconception on her part; an exaggeration. For a 16yrs old who've encountered such a "feeling" for the first time, how would you suppose she'll think of it? Right... "LOVE"

...sleep deprivation doesn't bode well for me so it seems... pardon me for all of this nonsense. Time to call it quits. :lol:

Wow.... a very great development.... I`ve been waiting for the fall in love cause of lolipop incident.... It seems I`ll continue watching this....

Really excellent episodes, I could go into details towards my likes and each individual moment etc, but that would drag on and be flooded with "nano desu's" so I'll spare you that...nano desu
I do look forward to the appearance of the loli ^_^ but you could have guess that already, "oh spalose posted outside of IB, it must have to do with lolis huh," anyway, can't wait for more, and I kinda wanna carry some lolipops with me at all time, you nvr know nano desu

Awww... don't hold back, I certainly wouldn't mind. In fact, I would be pleased to hear more from you. Just make sure that the actual amount of words relevant to the episode will be greater than the number of times you'd mention "nano desus". :lol:


She already had a decent appearance in this episode right? :lol: I mean, the producers did skip on "chapter 3" where she's supposedly the center of attraction. The preview also didn't quite leave a clear cut if she'll ever play a part on the following episode or not. And I'm still ever so confused on how a character can be classified as a "loli". Could you kindly enlighten me?

Yuu Enomoto, as we probably all know that she is without a doubt Kei's "elder" sister; Even though she does look an awful lot younger than her actual age or sister even, much to say shorter... could she really be considered one?... Or is there any chance that you're referring to someone else?! :roll: (who else can it be?) :lol:

Regardless of that, I do hope that she'd eventually get to have her own episode as I really am very fond of her and tbh, characters such as herself are one of my greatest "weaknesses"...

I'm really enjoying this show so far. The girls are damn hot and I find myself loling a lot. These love hexagons or octagons or whatever are very amusing. I'm waiting for that boyish girls episode, her outfit during the ED always gets me.

As for episode 4, who knew shoving things into girl's mouths worked?

As long as it is phallus-shaped or tastes like candy! 8)

I guess most people care about in episode 4 is the lollipop and Misaki scene which kind of saddens me since this episode is mostly about Koyoi. There's a lot of argument on Misaki's fallen for a guy because of a lollipop, they're just jealous because their favourite Misaki now falls in love. :P

Oh yeah Koyoi is so adorable, I so love this episode and the production did good by adding scene that is not in the manga though there are scenes that seems to be omitted too like the backscrubbing in the bath...

Misaki is the sexiest girl in this anime but Koyoi wins for the moe-ness.

Anyway this kind of anime, its an anime where a pretty hard to accept situation is bound to happen. It's even shown in the first episode where Ayumi owned Zaitsu with a kick. People just like to complain yet when there's a pretty good love anime like White Album nobody seems to care or notice. Let's see if anybody would touch Winter Sonata anime which in my opinion will have a good if not better romance storyline.

Oh here's an interesting video I found relating to this episode. Currently ranked 1st for anime video in niconico.

I think people is only in for the moe-ness and the sexy factor, that White Album and mostly Winter Sonata won't have much. I'll probably watch Winter Sonata, since it already have 3 versions.


and Yes, Although in this episode I was more focused on Lolipop and Misaki (damn you G-Money...), I would definitely love having Koyoi as my sister.

Now if I can just imitate Arihara, I'll be King of The World. :lol:

Lol.... the reason I focused more for the lolipop event is because it is great... and I just love seeing her who said she won`t fall in love... fall in love... About the Koyoi... its great but no impact cause we all know she loves her brother more than anyone

Oh man, when I saw this I remember thinking Freud would have a field day with this. I blame college.


Goddamn, Freud actually makes sense sometimes.

Phantastic job there!

I totally agree with this analysis... spot on dude. And Misaki just oozes sexiness in that episode. I found the scene where Arihara pushes the lolipop into Misaki's mouth sexy as hell.
