White Album episode 7

* the topic image is dedicated to spalose * :D

Where should I begin...

Yuki successfully completed recording, due to Rina's "encouraging words of advice."
(what exactly did she tell her?)

Who really is the person who seems to be always contacting Yayoi?
(it doesn't seem Eiji to me...)

Almost forgot about what Eiji and Rina talked about... is there some sort of plan, to make Yuki and Rina compete with each other?

Misaki had taken Touya's offer of living at his old man's house for the meantime as she or they prepare the costumes and stuff needed for the club.

It's quite obvious that Touya and his father have some issues with each other.
(does it have anything to do with Touya's mother's death?)
They kinda remind me of myself and my father...we don't get along well as they do.

No wonder that Touya's father doesn't know anything about Yuki... or is there some kind of reason as to why Touya doesn't want him to know?
His father throwing all sorts of things at him made me lol a bit. (he must have got good reflexes to be able to dodge all of those) :lol:

Now, we go to Mana...(should you do the honors spalose?)
The typical teenage rebel... both her parents are always away (at work), she spends most of her time alone...

A lot of humorous scene in this...
Touya rushing out to catch his tutoring schedule, encountering Mana along the way, unknowing that she'd be the one whom his gonna deal with. :lol: (wasn't even able to wash away the paint on his forehead in the process)
Mana was surprisingly "intelligent" as she was able to answer all of the practice test questions correctly. She's even knowledgeable with the "music industry" and stuff. The misunderstanding (last episode) was easily cleared as well. The funny part was when Touya was trying to explain to her that it's an important time in her life right now, inserting his own experiences in the process, yet doubting himself a little while doing so. :lol:

Where was I...

Touya and Misaki met up to eat dinner together at the usual place (Echoes) and while they were at it, got interrupted by the oh so lovely "goddess" Rina. :D And thus the "secret room" was finally revealed, totally! (that's an awesome place, I really loved it!) all with the secret trap doors and rooms which lead to one another or whatever, I'd like to get the blueprint of that shop!

Getting back on the story, Touya chased after Rina, got surprised with the "secret door", which then led them to an underground room where they found Eiji. (who was kinda expecting someone else or Touya alone)
Blah blah blah blah blah...
On to the studio we go! :lol:
with Touya still trying desperately to clarify things with the siblings. :lol:
Tried to call Misaki to apologize but she's too busy to answer the call.
(regarding phone calls, Yuki again, failing to get a hold of Touya as he's not home, helping Misaki out) - scenes from much earlier in the episode.

Haruka?! (almost completely forgotten about her)
I really feel sorry for her the most... with so much emotions (depression) that's building up inside her, caused by her brother's death. It feels like she's really got no one else besides Touya. I'm speechless still with that particular scene... (she's basically on the verge of breaking down both mentally and emotionally) :cry:
I had the hardest time seeing her like that...

Time to finish up...
Those bitches! :evil: ... how can Yuki just let them get away with that?! At least Yayoi showed some genuine concern about her. (do those kinds of incidents still happen in the showbiz industry nowadays?) - I guess so.


Finally, it's Rina's time to shine! and possibly to enchant Touya. :D

Is there anything else worth mentioning? I'm obviously most enthusiastic with this series more than anybody else. (I'd be more than pleased enough as long as someone cares to read this) :lol:

Now, I'm exhausted...time for me to retire. 8)

so.....is your summary done? I was waiting to add my opinion until you finished.

Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana nom nom nom nom *drools*

Damn right you almost forgot Haruka!
Anyway....
You managed to explain the episode quite well, definitely a lot going on (I get the whole soap oprea drama feeling while watching, minus the crappy music and bad acting) So much going on and yet so much we don't know. Again I am noticing few moments where animation seems lacking, but I digress. As you mentioned those bitches are just....well bitches! I also agree with Eiji's words "I am scared of Yayoi-neesan." I think this is a fitting time to re watch to series so far, I await the next episode with much enthusiasm.
Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana Mana nom nom nom nom *drools*

sorry for making you wait... :lol:
A lot certainly happened in this episode alone, I'm not just about to let anything slip away. I always do things wholeheartedly!

Nothing much we can do about the animation, it's not really that big of a fail, I mean, I'm so focused with everything else that I could care less with just a little bit of this and that with the so-so animation. What matters most is the story itself. I still like this series either way. As long as I don't see something tremendously horrible for that matter... Let's just keep our fingers crossed that things will improve or simply won't degrade more than it has already been. (Rina should be given the utmost priority of course!) :D

That scene really made me want to go there and comfort her somehow, I'm really speechless after watching that, and got depressed watching the rest of the episode. I hope she doesn't do anything rash.

I can actually find out about it first from playing the game, but the oldness of the game is really demotivating, and the next release for the PS3 is making it more demotivating...I hope they decide to convert them to the PC someday...

I pretty upset when my dear cute Haruka didn't appear on the last episode and know when she appeared in this one I saw her in a very sad state. I would go to the studio and drag Touya back to see her but I hope Touya makes it up to her. Poor Haruka... :(

I like the fact that everyone of us (watching/posting) has his own favorite girl from this series. (it's just a bit funny, somehow)

hermitVI - obviously, Rina is the one for me.
spalose - on the other hand, loves Mana.
Temcor - seems to like Haruka the most.
(based from his post above)
tsujoi - judging from his previous post (ep5), I’d assume that Yayoi is his favorite.
(correct me if I’m wrong though)
kaimax - is the only one who doesn’t really have a clear favorite...
(would you like to enlighten us/me?) - I'm just a bit curious, perhaps.

Yuki and Misaki are the only ones left to choose from, just kiddin’
Though it would really be nice if we each have our own favorites, just for the record.
(since we’re just about the few people who somewhat cares or watch this series even)
and as much as possible, I’d like to keep Rina for myself! :D

@kaimax as well.
Do you think there’s a chance that Rina(Nana) would be the one who’s gonna sing Powder Snow? (I can't determine if the original singers of both songs are the same person or not) - I personally think otherwise, merely judging from their voices, they're two different singers. If that's the case, it's safe to say that "Powder Snow" would be Rina's since "White Album" is already Yuki's. (what do you think?)

ed:
hermitVI - Rina
spalose - Mana
Temcor - Haruka
kaimax - Misaki
tsujoi - Yayoi (it even rhymes) - perfect! :D
Zellgadus - Mana (I'd prefer it that way) :lol: - just kiddin

@Zellgadus
I don't remember anyone saying that they particularly hate Touya, from every single WA ep threads.(which I made & were lost)
No one I believe, who watches this series has anything against Yuki.
She simply doesn't stand out too much, compared to the other girls, I'd say. (esp Rina) :D

Well, at the moment no one has really triggered my heart, everyone has it's own appeal that attracts me to them. But, if you insist I'm sorta leaning to Misaki. Maybe I like older, caring girls. :P (I'm waiting for all of them to appear in the PS3 version)


Realizing that POWDER SNOW was sang by a different person (her voice is a bit heavier), There is a possibility that Rina will sing the song, but that doesn't remove the possibility of Yuki singing it. ( I wish the old PC game didn't suck in quality...)

put it in a spoiler since it has nothing to do with this thread
:D

I've been lurking for a while but never posting on these White Album threads mainly because everything was already said.

I really liked episode 7 since it had a lot of Mana in it. She's so funny and surprisingly Mature.
Even though you may call her childish about her relation with her parents it seems that's the only childlike attitude she has.

About Touya. I don't really dislike his characters as some of you may. I find that his situation is really hard to deal with. His girlfriend is barely available to him, even making phone calls with her is difficult. Anime being anime he's surrounded by all these great women and let's be honest they are all incredibly hot; body and personality wise.

My favourite right now hangs between Rina and Mana. Though leaning more for Rina. I'm really surprised though about Yuki she's not a bad girl and she's very nice and caring so I'm surprised no one has come to her defense.

Oh I didn't realize that, its really is interesting and yes Haruka is my favourite girl in the series. She's so cute, and seeing her appearing infront of Touya's door is entertaining. Just in this episode intead of smiling, she is crying. Give back Haruka's smile, damnit! Also, despite our difference in opinion we both share the love for this anime which I prefer it better. I hope I would be the only one that have Haruka as favourite girl :)

for the record, Yuki is my number two in this series nano desu!
