Weird this was my favorite episode. It definitely had the most character development.

Rito is cheating Lala,he must rot in hell for this XD

I like the new ending

I felt like the animation quality in Episode 14 was very bad,or am I the only one who felt this?
In most of the other episodes ,I was thinking hmm ok,the animation looks often quite simple but ok.

@Halcyon: Kure-nai is definitely worth a peek at especially if you like shows like “alternative” shows like Dennou Coil. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed when you watch it.

@Paj: I think that may be a consideration that they have to take when making anime from a manga. Will fans want to watch an animated form of the manga they’ve already read or will they want to see new content? I can see it go either way, but in the case of TLR they could’ve gone with the manga and do fairly better than by trying to give the fans a different version.

You basically summed everything up. . .anything focus on Haruna and Rito together = BOREDOM. . .and I see that the producers are going the other way from its manga counterpart. . .If I remember correctly from somewhere, many writers or producers like to change things from the manga because they think that fans wouldn’t like a regurgitation of the manga. . personally I disagree on that theory; but hey I am not one of the big shots.

I’m on the fence with eroge adaptations.

On the one hand, most of them are garbage, but then on the other hand you get a RARE gem like Utawarerumono that makes it all worth it.

Natsume Yuujin-Chou looks interesting but it reminds me of a cross between Bleach/Chrno Crusade/Pokemon.

I haven’t seen Kure-nai yet but now that I’ve burned off Lovely Complex, Darker than Black and Dennou Coil I might give it a go!

@Ziggy: I think we’ve figured that any episode with Haruna as its focus = boring.

@Halcyon: Thanks for the suggestions, but Birdy is taken already. I think maybe either Riex or Extrange will blog it. As for Koihime, I might give it a shot. I’m not really a fan of eroge adaptations though. One show that I might try to blog would be Natsume Yuujin-chou depending on how the first episode goes for me.

*sigh* I’m missing Kure-nai already. ._.

I don’t think we’ll be seeing a Mikan episode in this series.

I was disappointed with this episode. They reused some of the footage from the last episode to introduce this one and it didn’t really move the story along at all.

There wasn’t really much fanservice either, outside of one shot of Lala dropping her towel the focus was all on Haruna (and a naked Yuuki Rito).

If you’re looking for alternatives to blog, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode isn’t that bad. It’s a bit fanservicey, has nice action sequences and a comprehensible simple plot. At least, the first episode wasn’t terrible. Where it goes from there, who knows.

Koihime+Musou is also worth a look. Lots of fanservice! But still marginally better than TLR.

As much as I enjoyed the first few episodes of TLR, this thing has tanked worse The Incredible Hulk at the box office.

I can’t say I’m happy with this episode…much too boring in my opinion.

I need a Mikan focused episode <3
