at this point, he kinda needs to stay in the Photography club. it's the only way he can protect spoiler[Haruka] from those guys. I don't get why they aren't on a first name basis. they are childhood friends right? I know Kazuya is a harem protagonist, and that means he must remain clueless but spoiler[Haruka] is throwing out so many hints, it's hard to believe he cant see any of them even with that handicap

Yeah, but it's been established that there's a growing distance between them.

I've suddenly realized why I hate harem shows....I always want one of the girls to win out over the others and when they don't, it pisses me off lol. It's like with this one, I want the big boobed one to win out (Rina?) Just cus it'd be nice to see a full figured woman win the day haha.

The Mai Nakahara character almost won in Ladies vs. Butlers, but the show lampshaded itself towards its harem structure, so the end was kind of infuriating in that way, let the right girl win!

But yeah, that is the problem with harem anime that don't have an omnibus setup or true harem end, and it's why it's usually better to play the VNs they tend to come from.

After watching episode 2, I just don't understand why Maeda joined the 'dark' photo club at all. He's always doing the exact opposite of what they want and doesn't seem to be into it. At all.

Was it just the peer pressure? Or perhaps just...a plot device, I dunno.

His sister is the best girl, btw.

The interpretation that I'm leaning towards is that he wants to reform it. He's not interested in landscapes like the Photo Club is, he definitely wants to take pictures of girls - but in a proper way. Not "borderline erotica" like the Photography Club. I think he's like a Trojan Horse in there.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense!

Good, good, it all makes sense now!

Back to ogling. I like how Maeda had enough stimulating experiences in one day that he had to remissness about them all.

It might make sense but ... good luck with that.

What everyone involved is about to find out is that all girls with attractive features and body (and many without) want to take their clothes off for the camera. Whether they admit it or not.

I was a photographer for the high school newspaper and I didn't realize this then. Damn.

Two episodes in, and I'm enjoying this show so far as well. Most of girls are interesting. Looking forward to seeing where this will be going.

I wish these club shows would get more specialized about their activities. I liked when Sora no Manimani did what little astronomy bits it could, but if they actually went into the use and maintenance of a camera and how to set up a shot, I would be so much more enthralled. I guess that's getting much too technical for most series, they just set these things up as devices, but there are series out there that get into it deeply.

I agree, for the most part. At least here the cameras take a central focus (get it!?). Most of the time when the show revolves around a club, the club is ancillary and might as well be called the 'Protagonist's Club'.

Hyouka did club activities, as did Haruhi and K-ON.

Not to freak anyone out *LOOKS AT DTM42* but....

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2313443/New-Zealand-man-Ronald-Clark-jailed-watching-pixie-porn.html

Sure, it's only a hop-skip-and a jump from pixie porn to overtly sexy shots of high schoolers genitals or sexy-bits. New Zealand be winning.

Absolutely none. It's just bullshit used in the TINK OF DA CHILLUNS fallacy.
