?? where do you get 100 bed budies from B Gata H Kei ??
In the first episode, There main character says that she wants to have sex with 100 men. Also, every single description and summary of the series describes her goal as the story's plot.

umm .. yeah. but, realistically; does that really sound possible -- therefor the translations wrong.
.. even the name is flawed: ( the ) B Gata [ struggles ] ( of/from ) H Kei [ a Horse's hoof ].
Transliterated it could mean "A hundred ways to be Kicked really-really-Hard for a Purpose." .. hehe, the title
gives it away and does not translate directly into any know language. Its sorta like Yogi-Bear saying, "Welcome
to Jelly Stone Park" when you know that the Forest Ranger has signs stating "Do Not Feed The Bears" all over
the Park area; this kinda atmosphere is just looking for Trouble/Comedy. The same can be said for "B Gata H Kei"

Get a better translation of the first Episode please; hehe, "100 bed buddies" .. in 13 episodes!?? 8-)

In the second or third episode, Yamada actually says B Gata H Kei, and it is translated as "B-Type Eroticism." Obviously she is not going to reach her goal of 100 fuck buddies because then there would be no show left. Obviously, the show is going to center around the current relationship and I doubt that she will even get around to losing her virginity. If it does happen, then we'll get an episode or two of mediocre drama toward the end of the show, followed by an episode of reconcilement and a return to the norm.

You guys can't understand when people are just joking. :roll:
Everybody knew the premise was gonna be just shattered, it does says so too in the description, but that still does not deny the fact that the original intention of Yamada was getting 100 friends with benefits. It did not imply she would succeed nor fail, and timeskips are an easy plot device to employ. Actually, ep 6 will already be 2nd year if I remember the preview properly, which means a whole school year passed by in 5 eps.
The title is a joke too... can be read and interpreted in a couple ways at least, but your interpretation, post-it, is a really absurd one with no real ground to base it on. "B Gata" can be interpreted both as "B type" (as in blood) or "B cup," whereas "H kei" can stand both for "H style," "H group," or "H person," with the H clearly standing for "ecchi" in all of them.
In any case, the original plan would want the plain Kosuda to be a smooth transition for Yamada, who is still virgin, to get more experienced and therefor feel more secure when going to bed with the 100 sex friends. It just so happens that she really is that inexperienced and she actually ends up falling in love with Kosuda.
In any case, Ish's predictions on the end are both good imho, although my personal guess is that she'll wind up having sex with Kosuda later than sooner (yes I mean it like that) after realizing that she wants it for love and not just for pleasure, and she'll just stick with him or something.

sorry, I just had to do that ^___^

.. but actually, a few of the symbols are not translating correctly and H-kei is one of them!!!!
its a 1958 dictionary and it only gives reference to a "Horse's hoof Nail" for mounting a Horse-Shoe!
............. any other books for translations which might be "a bit more up to date"???

Refer to anidb or ask to people who actually know japanese instead of relying on a book, I guess. Dictionaries aren't the best way to translate... they are fine if you're in doubt about a single word, but they won't help with in-jokes etc.

Episode 6 I fear is the beginning of a spiral down into the depths of mediocrity is cliches that I have been fearing since the introduction of the glasses chick. Pink-haired bitch has solidified this fear for me and now I must choose to stop while I'm ahead. The first five episodes were fun, for the most part, so I'll choose to remember the show by only those.

Dropped.

Just saw 05, kinda funny in a twisted fashion.

Hey it's just more of the same in some ways, but hey, I've had a coffee crisp bar before right? If I eat 5 more I won't suddenly hate them :)

You either like something or you don't.

I found 05 to be funny.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

( if it were me in that school, I'd be following the House-Mouse -- not the B-cup Slut! ^___^ )
