And thus comes the best series of the season to an end. It is, as could be expected, an open end, and it’s a pity the series was only allotted 12 episodes because it is precisely when Kodaka realizes that his best friend Sora was Yozora, that the series starts moving forward. And I don’t know what’s the rationale behind this, probably something like business, but I can’t really understand why AIC hasn’t chosen to give BokuTomo 24 episodes, just like I can’t understand why AIC didn’t give Oreimo 24 episodes, that is, two seasons. Because both have been long-anticipated hits, so it making it a 24-episode adaptation doesn’t sound as risky as doing that for other series.

“Sora?”

“It’s been a long time, Taka”

Yes, yes, yes! Awesome heartwarming ending to a great episode. It’s such a crying shame the series is about to end, because we can consider everything up to now to be an introduction. It is at this moment, when the “last boss” forces Yozora cut her hair short, that Haganai proper starts. Because even for people unfamiliar with the novels and who may not have known, up to now, that Kodaka’s best (and only) friend before the start of the series was Yozora, and that Yozora actually knew that Kodaka was Taka all along, it’s crystal clear that Yozora loves him, and is feeling jealous of any other girl who gets his attention –and she has many rivals!

Ever since the anime was announced, and of course ever since I actually read the light novels, I’ve been waiting for this scene: Sena being seen naked by Kodaka while she was trying to raep Kobato-chan. Of course, the only way it could have been better is if we had seen Niku’s nipples, but all in all I can’t complain. Awesome episode with awesome stuff!

I’ve checked my summaries and I don’t remember such a “dramatic” end to the pool episode. Yes, in the novels Yozora and Rika went home since they hate crowded places, and I really know what it feels like since I hate such places myself almost to the level Yozora does, but I don’t remember Kodaka and co. suddenly getting so upset and going home too. Well, all I know is, if the pool was so crowded, I would have gone home too.
