@Ascaloth

I am a stauch tsundere supporter, it’s probably my favorite type of moe, but it’s also nice to watch series without them. I am fully capable of enjoying this show without a tsundere present, it may even make it better because it’s such an adorable show.

@LDC

Scream it out my friend, just scream it out: “So moe I died!”

@Myssa Rei

Haha, I have never heard of that show but it sounds so obscure that I’ll believe you =)

@Extrange

Get in line bud.

@Yoko

It’s not a particularly daring genre, but that’s ok.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this show is ridiculously adorable. Glad you’re blogging this series.

I also decided during that fuzzy memory flashback scene that the one who gave her the book was Yuuto. When you read/watch too much romance and/or shoujo, things like that become second nature.

I think I need to point out that Noto Mamiko HAS played a Russian-speaking character before — she was the Russian skater in Ginban Kaleidescope opposite Kawasumi Ayako’s Tazusa. It’s been a while since I’ve watched Ginban, but I don’t think she ever talked in Japanese in that one.

Interestingly enough, for such a cliched show, there IS one cliche that Nogizaka Haruka hasn’t even come near with a ten-foot pole yet; the tsundere. I mean, you’d expect Shiina to rag on Yuuto for “peeping” at her very-cliched panty flash, but she just takes Yuuto’s proffered hand and accepts his apology in under a second, then proceeds to give a very fangy smile LOL FANG-TAN style. If what Hinano-sama says is correct, Haruka’s loli sister is not tsundere, either.

I wonder if the show will get around to the tsundere eventually, if at all.

@Halycon

There really isn’t a way for me to launch into in-depth analysis of this either like I do for Code Geass. I just like to point out awesome or adorable stuff this show manages to fire out at us, heh~

@Hinano

Thought so

@Tenryu

Impz hates otaku shows so I doubt he’s even watching this =/

@Ilelangir

No, but she has spoken English in other shows, she was speaking Russian here so I was trying to compare it.

@A Day Without Me

For a very small part, yes. She gets all embarrassed about it though.

Mamiko speaking English? In this? /downloads

Ichigo Mashimaro was the only other time I heard her speak a little bit, I think.

I wonder if Mamiko Noto’s accent when she speaks Russian sounds as bad to Russians as her English accent does to English speakers.

It does.

this show is just too adorable sometimes

I wholeheartily agree!

I’m really looking forward to next week when Yuuto visits Haruka’s house

Ditto!!

Usually I’d come up with a small paragraph or two dissecting the show’s good points while acknowledging what the show’s lacking, but really this show speaks for itself. You’d have to be inhuman not to enjoy the awful cuteness and schmaltzy warm feelings each episode brings.
