After their defeat at the tournament, it wasn’t surprising that everyone was feeling down, especially Miyako. After all her training she still couldn’t beat Carrie or even some of the other opponents she faced throughout the tournament. I still doubt that we’ll see Miyako win a match before the series ends as the next few episodes will be spent on the girls picking up their confidence again and start training once again.

Is it just me or has the story’s pacing gone really slow? Well it’s probably just me but to get to this point in Nagisa’s arc seems to be taking it’s sweet time, and given that this is also the 2nd last episode for TV broadcast, I wonder how much more they can cover in the DVD episodes. That is unless we get 4 DVD only episodes but as if that would happen. Anyway plenty of funny moments this episode as well like Tomoya’s reaction to Nagisa mentioning she has never watched a theatrical play before, as well as Sunohara’s way of calming Nagisa down.

As a long time figure collector, most of the lovely ladies possess cuteness, elegance, or just your average school girl look. But I do like to venture beyond these attributes and pick up a figure which is different and something that stands out. Well with the recent Halloween Girl figure, I might as well keep going with the trend of sexy figures, but also continue with some more indoor photo shoots. So keep your pants on and hit the jump to check out photos of Max Factory’s Fasalina.

It was only a matter of time before Takuma would finally snap at Hayami, but damn I wouldn’t have fought he would actually beat her up. It kind of pissed me off seeing him trying to act as if he was sorry and tried to get Hayami to come back to his house, but even if he did, that lingering hate would revive once again. But poor Hayami, I can see getting beat up by the sleazy looking cronies is no big issue, but to be beaten up by Takuma to the state of having a broken arm is damn awful.

In a slice of life anime, you don’t see much romance development throughout the series, and ARIA is no different. However what it does do is skim through the theme and show us that such romance developments are possible and what better way to show that than through Aika and Al. This chapter is definitely one of the more memorable ones in the manga and personally I find it to the be the most romantic scenes between two characters. That is of course if you don’t count Akari and Cait Sith, the chemistry between Al and Aika is much more appealing.

If there is one thing I like about the Clannad TV series so far, it’s the developing relations between characters. But in this case, it’s the ever growing relationship between Tomoya and Nagisa. It certainly seems that Tomoya has adapted to living with the Furukawa’s but he knows that he still is an outsider. But of course he can’t help himself but help out Nagisa where she needs help and that requires becoming more involved with the family. I was certainly surprised that Akio decided to tell Tomoya about Nagisa, but I guess that means that Akio really trusts Tomoya.

As a long time figure collector the ero type of figures have never really appealed to me. The idea of having naked figure in any form would certainly bring about many questions not to just my family members, but as well as any surprise visitors to my room, lol. Of course that is only one reason but I guess the main reason is that I don’t find it very tasteful to have one. However there was one figure that had made me change my mind about all of that. Halloween Girl. Hit the jump to check out the pictures (keep in mind, this is an ero figure, so NSFW).
