Now for episode 9. Really this anime just keeps getting better and better with each episode. The humor is on spot, the emotional scenes are well done, and there was so much character development was packed into this episode. I enjoyed the shifting of focus to Ryuuji and Minori dynamic and how Taiga helped set up a plan to get them together. The primary focus on Minori's character was very well done. I like how we got to see an alternate side of her beside hers hyperactive/bubbly side. She seems to have a deeper and more inquisitive part of her outside of her exuberant exterior. The metaphor with the ghosts was a wonderful comparison of love. Love is really like a ghost. People talk about them all the time and whether they can spot them. But there are only a few people who can actually see them and those are the ones who know what love is. It was very good and poetically written. I like Minori's character even more than before now after this episode.
Funniest scenes:
1)The dog dream in the beginning.
2)The train station scene with with wacky Minori and Kitamaru
2)The shower scene with Ami, Ryuuji, and Taiga.
3)Naked Kitamaru and Minori going 'black hair thing' XD
Also the scene near the end with Taiga and Ryuuji was such a nice sweet piece that expands well on their relationship. While they feel nervous and uncomfortable around their love interests, with one another they are comfortable to the point of a nice serenity. It's a good representation of an actual couple in that they can enjoy one another's company without having to actually do something. They can just sit there and enjoy each others companies. And at the end where Taiga spoke about how the dream may actually be possible hinted majorly towards their relationship. It shall be interesting to see how they actually end up with one another at the end.
Also I know it feels like Ami-chan is being 'left out' so to speak, I think later on she will possibly play a wild card role in getting Ryuuji and Taiga together. I really like how she tends to spice up things and make for interesting scenarios. Seriously I like her so much as well <3 XD
Also Taiga in a ponytail =
