Special A - 14
Ok… so they’re still focusing on Akira’s arc with the whole Yui thing and the annoying fan girls. Fun. See.. i’m a BIG fan of Special A, but when they turn their attention away from Hikari x Kei, everything seems to fall apart like the way George Bush must feel now that a black man is taking over as president. Not that there’s anything wrong witht that. And don’t say McCain is gonna be president, cuz everyone wants the black guy. Anyways, the ‘filler’ episodes are really unrealistic, cheesy, not very well planned out, and just plain boring. Like Naruto fillers.
Those random gangs interfering with Akira and Tadashi is an example of what I mean by unrealistic and not well thought out @_@
I wish i was THIS popular.
What I didn’t like was how quickly everything was going. I think that the way they told Akira’s past wasn’t exactly enough to have the viewers convey and connect with her feelings. So when Yui rejects Akira’s protection, it was kind of hard for me to connect with the whole situation. In other words, it was boring and kinda sucked -_-
Flash backs = overused + cheesy
what i DID like was the weird warm fuzzy feeling I got seeing Akira and Tadashi together. Although i’m not a big fan of the couple, the scene was done very well and i wish more episodes were like this scene D: You know, if Akira and Tadashi had angry sex on that lawn, it wouldn’t be so bad. But hey, we can’t get what we want all the time q_q
whars the rape D: ??
But you see… the reason I don’t like Tadashi x Akira is cuz… I just don’t like Akira. I find her to be too over protective and just annoying in general. Tadashi should end up with someone like Hikari, but again, we can’t get what we want all the time q_q
I also don’t like Yahiro, and they didn’t clearly illustrate the relationship between him and Akira very well. To think i thought Yahiro was cool cuz he had pink hair D:
Something that I also didn’t like was how Yahiro and Akira are too hung up in the past and getting depressed over things that happened like… maybe 10 years ago. That’s the thing I don’t like about flash backs :/ Just because every other anime has flash backs doesn’t mean that yours should…
I love Tadashi though. He’s super cool <3
Overall Episode Score: 6/10
Dont’ get me wrong, i’m a big fan of Special A. But this episode just didn’t do it for me.
I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE THO. because of the hika x kei :3

Hmmm……..I thought differently in this episode. It may not be as one of my favorite episode of this series but I quite enjoy this episode. Yeah, I never like Yahiro either. I mean he pretended to be a bad guy but his reason behind is good ?? Nah, I saw this type of thing in too many series and his method was kinda lame but oh well. I don’t hate Akira. I just thought she was OK. Tadashi is really cool in this episode. Well, Mel, I agree episode 11 for Akira x Tadashi was so much fun but then again Kei is just meant to be with Akira so.

i think i couldn’t fully enjoy this episode because i kept pausing in between to take notes @_@ this episode wasn’t realistic enough for me so i think those are the reasons why i didn’t enjoy it :/

I see what you mean, Mel. I prefer Akari x Kei moment more than Akira x Tadashi or even Yahiro too. I think it’s more enjoyable to watch when Akari spend time with Kei. But just something for change isn’t that bad too, right?
What?? This episode is not realistic enough? So you think jumping over 100+ obstacle block, finish 100+ exam problems in less than 10 mins or win the race with handcuff on the chair along with addition of 30 kg were realistic ?? Haha, I’m just teasing you. I know what you mean. LOL
