Actually that was a great episode!

It raised yet more questions about Asa, and definately showed that Kaede isn't neccesarily just a doormat that cooks food for the main character.

Anybody want to make bets on how the show is gonna turn out?

I'll guess that he picks Asa, who dies and then winds up living with Primula.

Just watched 20.

I swear, what this show needs to have happen is having Kaede cleaning a gun in the bathroom muttering about who deserves to die.

Episode 20 stuff wrote:Okay, it's nice to see Rin getting some development in, but really. How clueless can he get? He misses all of Kaede's expressions, her attempts to serve him (that get rejected/ignored)... his comment about Asa's relationship with her mom is much more applicable towards his and Kaede's relationship... It takes Kaede climbing into Rin's bed to get Rin's attention (judging by his comments about the rain, he's hopefully figured it out now). I mean, one would have thought the drastic action Kaede took in Ep 19 would have been enough, but noooo....

Ep 19: Kaede goes ballistic, attacks Asa, tells Asa to leave Rin alone, that Asa should die...
Ep 20: [Rin] "You've been acting strange lately." :roll:

I think it's fine. Though I have to admit...

[anti-spoiler note]

Rin ends up with the one NOBODY expected...

Especially me... :wink:

But hey it's fine, at least she's got uh, quite a bit to offer actually... :D

It can't be that simple. Nothing else was. I'll bet there is something else. Probably Asa has her own little issues just like everyone else.

Ya know, I was actually thinking that in the back of my mind. i don't know if this has been said before but I heard:

in the game, the reason that Asa is so weak is because Ama was being experimented on with magic in the demon/god worlds before Asa was born. So then Asa sort of got the effects of it. I heard something about her dying in the game.

Maybe she dies, and then Rin commits suicide and we wont have to worry about who he picks anymore? :lol:

Just saw episode 22. Uh-oh guys, madbunny was right....

Things started out fine:

Everything was going well, just normal school stuff. Kaede had turned to start taking care of Primula, and seems happy now. Sia is her normal happy self and is still determined to engage Rin in polygamy. Nerine is going out to try new things, and Asa and Rin are a happy couple.


But then things take a nasty turn for the worst:

Towards the end, Rin and Asa were having a 'moment' in his new apartment, when Asa had another attack. It doesn't look good folks, I think she might actually die like I joked earlier


I'll post some screencaps in a minute.
