It is very popular in Vietnam, so I suppose the same goes to Japan. I am a fan of those books myself. |

I have not read the manga yet. But before this season ends, will we get to see intense fan service from female characters other than Meiko? I think she has gotten quite enough attention already.

I think this episode is the one where the rushing pace hit the hardest, this should have lasted at least an episode and a half but clearly JC Staff decided to have enough time for the climax to end this season properly, so I think this was the weakest episode so far in direction and pacing.
Hana will have plenty of fanservice reaching the climax. Mari, on the other hand, will have more development (which, in PS, means undressing yourself) in the arc that follows after this season's end. Though, Meiko is like the "mascot" of the series, her design is the first that draws attention from everyone, and her fanservice scenes tend to be the most outrageous and eye-catching (though not the sexiest imo).[/quote] |

Hope to see from them. I don't like Meiko and seeing her being the focus of fan service for too long has reduced its effects on me. |

and having a very very good dub also make this a must watch too. also while its trashy, just be glad its not english dub ghost stories trashy, or worse panty and stocking trashy. cause while their good series they would probably turn your off of the genre in general. especially P&S. |

In case anyone's curious, the "telecommunications guy" they were referring to is Masayoshi Son, the Korean-Japanese founder of the telecom giant SoftBank and currently the second richest man in Japan. Among other things he's known for making self-deprecating jokes about his receding hairline, while his family name is written with the same Chinese character as that of Sun Tzu, and hence pronounced the same way in Japanese (as well as Korean and Chinese). The more you know...

I watch the series for the drama and interesting characters. But the fanserivce is getting old and boring now and I am losing hope in that respect. They tried so hard, but it keeps feeling repetitive. |

Definitely have to disagree. The scene where Kiyoshi answers the classic "tits vs asses" question through the lens of Social Darwinism is one of this storie's greatest defining points. I'd say this episode wasn't particularly lacking in tension. Sure the chairman is a nice guy overall, but he's damn serious about butts. |

Man, I just caught up on this from the beginning. I gotta say, from what everyone was saying I was sure I wouldn't like it...and then I just kind of, well, liked it.
I think the draw for me is 1) the tension is really well done, and 2) it's a lot more fun than I expected. Honestly I think the weird fanservice, while definitely weird and a bit unsettling, is blown way out of proportion. It's not really that bad, and it fits in with the tone of the show. So yeah! Looking forward to the last two episodes! |

There is something indescribably sexy about the way the chairman talks. I find it amusing that Keiji Fujiwara practically uses the same voice for both the chairman and Hiroshi Nohara, though.
I've never eaten a grasshopper. I've heard it tastes like shrimp. I'm sad there's only two episodes left. |

I haven't read the manga, so I have no idea if this trend continues, but I feel like Gakuto really carries this anime hardcore.
This wouldn't be half the show it is if it weren't for him. |

man, the whole scene with hana in ep 11 was both cute, funny, disturbing and slightly emotional. I don't know what to feel when watching this anymore heh

The Romance of Three Kingdoms is one Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature and is known in East Asia(so including Japan) as Shakespeare. The manga adaptation of that novel, Sangokushi, was during its release one of the most popular manga in Japan(1971-1986), if not the most, and right now is between the most sold mangas of all time. Also there are a lot of manga series based at the time of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Souten Kouro is a good example of a recent and popular manga about that(1994-2005, with anime in 2009) Also note that the Era of the Three Kingdoms is considered as the 2nd most bloody era of all time, only behind the World War II. It was a huge event in History. |

Aside from all the urine related stuff and the sexual assault, Hana seems very innocent about sexual matters. I mean she's, what, like 16-17, she should know the basic mechanics of this stuff by now. Do they not have sex ed? It's not the Japan of Shimoneta. You see Hana, when a boy sees a girl's...Medusa, his... let's say Metapod uses harden. Aside from the first one, all the embarrassing things that happened to her were a result of her own malicious actions. I'll give her the first one, since while peeing in the woods when there is perfectly good bathrooms nearby is inadvisable, doesn't mean she deserves to have someone watch her pee, albeit accidentally. And certainly, "It was an accident" doesn't excuse everything. Calling her private area Medusa was rude on Kiyoshi's part though apt. No one would accuse the show of being sex-positive. As to the other situations, the embarrassing things were an almost inevitable result of her actions. If going to be near someone peeing (including yourself), there is a not insignificant chance of getting a least a few drops on you. And if you don't want some guys privates touching you, don't make him take his pants and underwear off (as well as her own) and force him in close proximity to you.
