White Album episode 9

my thoughts:
Misaki and Touya finally were able to finish up the costumes just on time for the dress rehearsal. (appx 2 days before the actual stage-play)...
- What does Touya's father seems to be concerned about? Such a sharp old man. It's as if he knows, well, that's probably what we call experience.
...But then again, despite all their efforts, it was rejected by that ugly jerk, Tamaru. It's a good thing that Touya's father helped with the revisions and so they've managed to finish everything up with another all-nighter... to Tamaru's surprise. :lol:
Meanwhile, Mana is so adorable, so cute and funny (she always makes me smile with her antics) particularly when she almost stole a kiss from Touya (or did she?)... Evidently, she still thinks of Haruka as the "Yuki" whom Touya mentioned as his girlfriend. She thinks that they're only messing around with her, when she's actually the one who's messing around with them :lol:
Yuki also took part in their college's festival, not as a student but as to promote her upcoming single (which she didn't sing though) and somehow made an unplanned announcement...
- aside from assuming that it has got something to do with a live concert performance, what else can it be?
...when Touya woke up in the afternoon, he went to their college to check up on Misaki, whom she didn't find, instead heard about Yuki who had been there earlier. He then just went on to see the rehearsal, called Misaki on his way home and made a promise to see the play tomorrow. Unfortunately for Yuki, who wasn't able to get in touch with him yet again. With that, she just thought about writing him a letter instead. Touya on the other hand, was standing outside her condo, staring above her dark room, murmured a few words while envisioning himself surrounded by a countless number of people... and shouted inaudibly.
- did anyone manage to read his lips? :roll: The angle was shifted from the side of his lips to upfront all of a sudden, which made it more difficult to figure out what exactly came out of his mouth...? YUKI?!?! - was it as simple as that? The "countless number of people" was simply to imply Yuki's evident rise to stardom, very soon. :wink:
Finally, the day that they've worked so hard for has arrived. Fuck you Tamaru, will you STFU?! :x thanks to that jerk who didn't allow them to watch the play by the usual means. Misaki was forced to use her last option. So the two of them went on an expedition of some sort and such a long & dark journey it was. :lol: ...yet they failed to make it through their destination before the play had started. The two decided to take a breather and reminisce...blah blah blah, which only proved that they've come from way back. But when Akira's name was brought up, the atmosphere turned for the worse. Misaki wanting to avoid further discussion hurried along and got into a minor accident. Everything else just fall into place, with their emotions/feelings for each other set loose...
- Misaki's confession which was halted by a kiss didn't really came as a surprise. What did surprise me was Touya's reaction to her following statements which she said to bring closure to their unusual senpai-kouhai relationship. He just started crying all of a sudden, and capped it off by confessing his love for her. WTF?!
- the funny thing was Tamaru have been aware thus from hearing the noise and shouting, which made him lost focus of how/what he was supposed to act/say... earning his well deserved laughs from the audience. :lol: (serves you right!)
...As Misaki was left alone reminiscing about her beloved kouhai, out of nowhere comes Akira (in his priest get-up) saying "Misaki-san, I love you." And before collapsing, she mentioned something about a "punishment ending" as if she knew that it was going to happen sooner or later.
- Akira was cool this time around. 8) With the costume, the lighting behind him and the confession most importantly, seems like he'd been waiting for this very moment all along.
I'll end it here for now as I cannot think much longer... need sleep. For those who are watching this series, feel free to share your thoughts as well, I'd very much like to know about it.

Hmm, I do think Misaki is what she claims she is in this episode. An evil tainted woman, because of helping her Touya's relationship with Yuki seems kind of distant. And yeah, its also developed Touya's feeling towards her during their time spending together and while it surprised me he made a confession to Misaki but its bound to happen. Yeah Misaki have to reject him because of Yuki and seems hurt by the decision but I think it hurts Touya more. Also seeing the scene where he passing paper(not sure for which club) pulling a smile shows how strong he is. I really pity Touya on this episode he seems kinda lost...

Nice, just what I was hoping to hear from somebody else. Indeed, everything Temcor have said is all true, there's no denying that Misaki was one of the major reasons which distanced Touya and Yuki further away from each other. As I would recall some of her past actions, she did in fact use the club-issue to get closer to Touya. Through all those times, she was aware and was very anxious about it. Remember in episode 6 (when it all started) Touya got a call from Yuki, when she was actually wide awake listening to the conversation. Her motives were hinted piece by piece, like in the following episode where she treated him at dinner. (too bad when Rina came and spoiled her fun) :lol: And most obviously in ep8, when she received Yuki's call, her face showed some serious expression of surprise (the thing that you get when you're kinda hiding something) - I know it well since I've been there in many occasions. :wink: Though she managed to keep calm and talked naturally, all the while being guilt-ridden for what she has been doing. (did she even mention "Yuki's phonecall" to Touya?)
Everything was nicely played out, most importantly the conclusion that was given to her part/role in the story. It certainly did leave a stain on Touya though. I don't detest him as for everything that he has been through is quite understandable. I believe that any earnest man for that matter would just about have a tough time in his shoes. At the end of the episode, it was certainly good to see him passing around papers (putting on fake smiles) rather than to see him moping around. (just like what Temcor said, it proves to show how strong he really is) - but I still can't forget when he cried like a wuss... :lol:
+rep for countering my somewhat flawed conception of Misaki's rejection.

Well when I watched it for the first round I was thinking the same way as you Hermit. Somehow I feel very unsatisfied with the scene and decided to watch it again, then I seem to understand.
For him crying, I'm thinking he's crying because he feel pity for Misaki seeing her starting to cry.
For me Touya is a nice person but just too nice it became his weakness. He tries to satisfy(not sure if its the right word) all the girls he tends to forget about himself especially his relationship with Yuki. Usually in anime when the main male character have a lot of girls who have affection towards him him you have that envy feeling. However in Touya's case it seems all this girl around him is slowly breaking him, kinda feel bad for that guy. Something like when you buy a burger you get 4 more burgers for free being the lucky 1 millionth customer on the restaurant, its a waste if you didn't eat them all so you decided to eat all of it and ended up being too full you can't hardly get up and feeling a little bit nauseous...
Thanks for the rep. Here's my rep for always making the summary for White Album, I'm looking forward for the next one from you. 4 more episodes to go if I'm not mistaken.

The comments are much appreciated, Temcor. You seriously gave me just enough of a boost (motivation) to continue doing the reviews until the end, which is sadly just a few more episodes away. Thanks for the rep as well. (sorry for the late reply) - it kept slipping out of my mind until just now.
I just finished watching episode 10 a few minutes ago, so I'm now currently in the process of generating a review for it. This episode sure was lovely and disastrous all in one. :? (if you get what I'm saying) Hopefully, I can get it done soon... as I'd like to hear your thoughts likewise.
