spoilers wrote:Maybe I didn't follow correctly, but I got the impression that Kaori knew she wasn't going to be live to see graduation from the beginning. She was definately aware of how unlikely it was given what she said when she, Shizuma, and Miyuki were watching the stars about not being around in three years to see the comet.
If you already know you're going to die young, there really isn't a reason to go slowly in a relationship. Plus, she and Shizuma connected almost instantly, practically seemed like love at first sight. The change Shizuma brought out in Kaori was heart-breaking to watch when you knew she was going to die. She started out so depressed and then became so happy.
I wasn't surprised at all that Kaori and Shizuma's relationship moved so fast.
I was much more surprised that Kaori TOLD Miyuki what happened between her and Shizuma. (Considering this flashback is supposedly only what Miyuki knew, this implies that Kaori told her everything about that night under the tree! And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the same tree where Shizuma and Nagisa first met?)

Tamao has a chance!

It was a little anti-climatic to find out that Tamao isn't connected to the whole thing with Shizuma and Kaori (or at least they aren't revealing it right now if she is) but now I understand her better. She was by herself without a roomate for so long, then Nagisa showed up. It's no wonder she's so dedicated to her.
Kagome continues to prove herself. She read Nagisa's mood perfectly, just like Tamao did.
That scene with Hikari and Yaya was painful. Yaya almost completely destroyed Hikari's trust in her and it shows. I think there's a redemption on the way though. The Evil Yuri Duo is up to something big.
Tamao finally confessed. Was Nagisa really asleep or did she hear?
Personally, I'm hoping that Nagisa and Shizuma will end up together. If it's Nagisa and Tamao, maybe Miyuki will try to heal her friend's broken heart herself.

First, I have to say that I am extremely pleased by the Yaya/Hikari scene. As sad as it is for Yaya that she can't be with Hikari, it was really wonderful to see Hikari comfort her. Yaya's really been through the emotional wringer lately and, even though I still think she went way over the line when she made her fratboy style move on Hikari, it was just great to see this final act of forgiveness from Hikari. Now they can really be friends again.
And maybe, just maybe, Yaya might still have a chance.
Nagisa telling Shizuma that the flowers would bloom again. . . I'm going to take that as a sign that Nagisa still has feelings for Shizuma and really does want to be with her. I'd really like to see the two of them together. Miyuki can comfort Tamao.![]()
Did anyone see the whole Kaname/Amane thing coming? Kaname apparently is not only a bit jealous of Amane but she's also in love(lust?) with her too! No wonder she's been so dangerous to Hikari, they are rivals.
Poor Momomi though. The Evil Lesbian Duo is breaking up.![]()
Next episode looks really interesting. Tamao and Nagisa are entering the Etoile election together? Hmm, either Miyuki is planning to chose them or Tamao entered their names without asking Nagisa, because I don't think Nagisa has a clue about being entered. Maybe I'm wrong. Can't wait to find out!

Spoilers wrote:Well, Shizuma's doing the "noble sacrifice" thing by letting Nagisa go.Looks like she's a step away from throwing herself under a train. Geez, for a best friend Miyuki's really being a bit of a bitch in my opinion over the election. Does she really think it's best this way?
Chikaru may not be running (yet?) but man she would get my vote. She's always appearing to help and comfort others. She deserves the place of honor. After Shizuma told Nagisa goodbye, she was exactly the right person to find Nagisa. Chikaru should run with Kagome-chan. They'd be unbeatable.
Amane thrown from the horse.Hikari there to see it. Could this horrible event be the work of a certain deranged Spica student? A girl nammed Momomi? More importantly, just how bad of shape is Amane in? Is this the end of their run for Etoile or the event that binds them even more together?
This series is fast approaching it's end, but it's still completely up in the air as to how it will end. Very exciting.

I think this was the first step to get Nagisa over Shizuma. Of course you never forget your first loves but you will get over them eventually. I do see them reconciling one more time before Shizuma leaves though. But seeing how stubborn those two where I think it was necessary. There wouldn't be any movements if Miyuki didn't get involved. Does that make Miyuki a bitch? Yes a bit but sometimes you have to get dirty to make progress.
Chikaru would make a good Etiole. However, there are certain people that are meant to shine in the back to support everyone else. They don't look for the spotlight but are there to genuinely help others. As much as I like Tamao and (sometimes idiotic) Yaya, Chikaru has become my favorite and the saving grace of this show. And she is the only that seems sane in this whole show.
Amane thrown from the horse I kind of saw coming. Things were just going too perfect so I knew something would happen. Then they kept showing that stirrup so I knew it was going to happen. It looks like she lost her helmet so it could be a pretty bad concusion or perhaps a mild coma. If not then some serious broken bones. This might stop them from being in the up coming election. However, this now gives Nagisa and Tamao a chance. With Amane and Hikari I never seen them have a chance at winning.
My predictions for now is that Yaya has to convince Hikari that this wasn't all her fault and get her mojo back. So I can see now why the writers made those two officially make up with Yaya accepting Amane being with Hikari. She is needed for support in the next one.
Shizuma is going to do something that is probably out of the ordinary for the elections. Tamao will allow it though because she will support Nagisa. Eventually Shizuma and Nagisa will come to an understanding.
Finally! Tamao made a move! I'm so proud of her. She didn't even have to say anything just a hug. (Well she did say "yes.") I was surprized that it caught Nagisa off guard a bit. She's been hugged by Tamao before. Heck it was just minutes before. Perhaps there was something different in that one. Maybe Nagisa sensed that it was more than a friendly or concerned hug. Tamao looked so small holding Nagisa, who was being very strong and tall in her own way. Either way, it was cute.
