Shugo Chara!! Doki – Episode 74


sc74-00

Finally~ One of my favorite chapters has been fully animated. *is so very happy~* Basically I was in full fangirl mode for the entire episode until we got to the end and I felt a little bit like smacking someone at Satelight, but I still retained my happiness. It’s all good~

Anyway, this episode and the next four are going to be safe to watch for those who just want episodes from the manga. Hehehe~

Oh yeah, also…I ended up with over 70 screencaps this time. Um…yeah. So be aware of that.

Ah…now that I’ve finally got this episode I feel both satisfied and a little empty now. What am I going to insanely look forward to now~? I mean, there’s still good scenes, but the next thing to make me fangirl this much is going to be chapter 38. Nuuuu~!

*never satisfied*

Oh well. For today I am a very happy girl. Ehehe~

Summary

Confessions happen, fangirling happens. Let me fill this in later, ‘kay? So I can get to this good stuff now.

I promise this time I actually will fill it in. Though what I really want to say is…AGH! Just watch the episode! There’s literally something for everyone! Except for fans who still thought that anyone but Ikuto or Tadase had a chance with Amu. Because  the end of the episode shows a very clear shot which dismisses all of that so…tough shit guys.

So I’ll fill the summary in tomorrow (or er…since it’s past midnight, later today).

Thoughts

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

That should about cover it. No? Okay then lets do some real fangirling.

sc74-01

Wakey-wakey Amu~

Oh my, how I love being able to giggle whenever I see a scene with Amu waking up in the morning. Who’s in that bed with you Amu, huh~? Ahaha~

sc74-02

Yup. That’s right.

… *giggles like mad* Oh I just don’t get tired of it.

sc74-03

Oh Amu. Don’t say unnecessary things. You’re being a lying poser again. You totally want Ikuto in your bed. No need to be all tsuntsun and embarrassed about it. Any girl would feel the same!

sc74-04

Yeah. Amu-chan~ Who dragged Ikuto back? Even though he left because you said unnecessary slightly mean things? Hmm? Yeah. That’s right. You wanted your catboy to come home so just be a good girl, shut up, and get back in bed!

sc74-05

Su…I love you. Your interpretation is the truest and best version. Su~

sc74-06

sc74-07

Yeah Yoru. What the Hell? :lol:

Yoru’s so cute though. I take this funny little scene as Yoru just being so worried about Ikuto. D’aww~

sc74-08

Wow, Amu really did drag him back to her house. :lol:

Oh the things we do for love. Dragging boys back to our houses and up some stairs and putting them in our beds.

sc74-09

Ikuto’s so cute when his kitty tendencies come out. Like when he’s yawning and stuff and…ahahaha~ Cute~

sc74-10

lol. Way to be incredibly obviously suspicious Amu. Your mom wouldn’t even have to be as awesome as she is to figure out what’s going on.

sc74-11

Ikuto’s cute when he sleeps like a kitty too. No wonder Amu watches him while he’s sleeping. :oops:

sc74-12

I know someone must be happy that Amu is finally feeding Ikuto healthy food. Though I must say, one banana isn’t enough for a boy! Except I guess he’s sick so it’s understandable.

sc74-13

So Amu stares at him while he’s eating too…

sc74-14

8O

sc74-15

:lol:

XD That was absolutely great. Ikuto you’re so mean~

But of course, no guys likes it when a girl is hovering (it challenges their manliness! or something…I don’t know I don’t get it) so he calls her fat. lol. That’s pretty brave Ikuto, you’re lucky you’re sick or Amu may have needed to go for some vengeful rage.

sc74-16

Just throw out the chocolate Tadase. Please? It’s not healthy so I’m sure your fangirls would understand. It’s not necessary to be that incredibly nice…

This might be why I’m not fond of nice princely characters…they completely ignore common sense when they’re being so nice. And not in the cool “Ignore common sense to make the impossible, possible!” way.

Also I end up choking with the amount of cheese and corniness some of them can dish out…but now I’m getting off-topic.

sc74-17

Hahaha, Ikuto’s reading Nakayoshi~ Or whatever the Nakayoshi switched name of the manga is…

I loved this scene in the manga. Ikuto reading Amu’s shoujo manga~ I don’t know what to be more surprised at, Ikuto reading it…or Amu having it? (She really is a girly-girl sometimes after all~)

sc74-18

lol. Amu. She’s still mad at being called fat, isn’t she?

sc74-19

And Amu you can glare as much as you want, but Ikuto’s onto your tsuntsun ways now. And you can’t get too mad at him because then you’ll feel bad if he leaves again.

Hahaha! Amu-chan is trapped in her room for raburabu time with Ikuto after all. Haha~

sc74-20

It’s white day…and Nagihiko randomly has a flower…a white flower…

KYAAA~! It’s for Rima, it’s for Rima, right? Right? Ri~ght? RIGHT!? :o

Oh yeah. It’s totally for Rima. Otherwise it’s just too random for him to be picking a flower when Tadase goes by. *ignores the other option that it may be for Amu* It’s for Rima.

sc74-21

…Heh. Sometimes pictures say more than I could possibly say in over a thousand words. Classic.

sc74-22

Ami Jiii—

This means that all of the Shugo Chara girls have successfully done their “Jiii—“s now, right? Well except I don’t think Amu ever said “Jiii—” when she did it.

…I want Amu to do hers now. Then the collection will be complete! (I don’t need Lulu)

sc74-23

Hahaha~ This would be Ikuto’s second encounter with his future sister-in-law Ami, right? Just something I wanted to point out. Because I alway like to point out when Ikuto has any contact whatsoever with his future in-laws Amu’s family.

…Screw it. AMU AND IKUTO ARE TOTALLY GOING TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE A SUPER CUTE AND HAPPY FAMILY!!!!1111

That’s better.

sc74-24

Tadase carries around a white glow with him that he can bust out whenever he wants to appear especially bright without the addition of bishie sparkles. Because now all you can see is Tadase! There is no background whatsoever to distract you from your princely shouta! Heck, even the edges of Tadase himself aren’t that visible.

Behold! This is the power of super shouta-bishie.

sc74-25

Uh. Never mind. Tadase doesn’t need his white glow to be super shouta bishie when he can bust out that pout. (OMG! What would happen if he did both!? It would be too much shouta bishie for anyone to handle! *mind exploded*)

sc74-26

…You can’t even really capture Amu throwing Ikuto it happens that fast. When did Amu get so strong? She throws Ikuto around in this episode as if he really is a cat. Or rather a stuffed cat because I don’t think anyone throws their real cats around like that. :roll:

sc74-27

lol. Poor Ikuto. It’s okay, just make her pay for it later (in cuddles and hugs~).

sc74-28

…Whoa…Amu-chan…

I think I’m so scared that I’m speechless. Where did my Amu-chan go? :cry: She’s too scary now!

Though I have to say in all honesty this only makes me love Amu more. Anyone who can be threatening and awesome gets my undying love. (Which Amu already has, but now she gets more.)

sc74-29

That’s right Ikuto, you keep your eye on things. Even if…noespecially if Amu is out there with Tadase.

And after this you can make a move, right? Finally you’ll make an honest move, right Ikuto? Come on! Do it~

sc74-30

sc74-31

sc74-32

I…was so going to try. *defeated*

I was going to try and be so open-minded and maybe even call the scenes cute if they struck me in that way. Then this happened. And while still funny (and still making me feel ever more confident in Amuto OTP status), I just…couldn’t look at anything the same way after.

If only for the sake of Amu being preserved as our adorable Cool & Spicy girl, Tadamu cannot be the ending pair. No…for the sake of all those who love Amu as who she is and do not want to see her in fangirl mode any more than necessary (lol, though is it ever necessary?).

sc74-33

Nuuu! Ikuto’s hearing extra unnecessary things! Ikuto hearing confessions is good because it gets him to stop waiting around. But he doesn’t have to hear about Amu’s chocolates for Tadase. They got to Ikuto for a reason after all! They were hand-delivered by FATE! Or the magic of love~ Whichever is fine.

sc74-34

You know he says that…but it took him forever to get to the point…

That’s what happens when you do a whole bunch of crap you have to apologize for Prince. (Oh did I say that? I’m so sorry, I guess a little bit of my bitchy fangirl is still in me. Ohoho~)

sc74-35

DAMN STRAIGHT YOU WANT TO APOLOGIZE! NOW GET ON THE FLOOR AND GROVEL BEFORE YOUR COOL & SPICY GODDESS!

*ahem* But yes. Say you’re sorry a thousand times and then we can talk about forgiveness. I don’t care if Amu forgives you, she’s too nice to hold a grudge especially since she’s both your friend and your fangirl. You need to spend a lot of time making it up to Amu to earn my full forgiveness. Even if I’m not specifically mad at you anymore, I haven’t forgiven you yet Tadase!

I’ll probably forgive him when the fact that he did those things turns out to bite him in the butt when Amu chooses Ikuto. Then I can actually be grateful to him because if he didn’t reject Amu she never would have run out of the assembly and fallen into Ikuto’s lap (in the manga) *hums a certain song*

sc74-36

Oh god. lol. The glow is back. I just won’t say anything for the sake of peaceful sanity. Erm, I guess that I’ll say what I planned to while reading the manga. Tadase said some pretty good things maybe he’s reading shoujo manga at his house too.

…but I can’t really see their noses…

sc74-37

Aww…Ikuto…I think you need a hug~

…*insane giggling* It’s fun how saying that always makes me feel so good~

sc74-38

Ah…this…you see…ah!

… *gives up* You’ve all heard it all before anyway.

sc74-39

:o Embarassed, shy Amu-chan is so cute!

You know what. Back off Tadase. Amu-chan is officially the property of Fuyu-neechan now. Hahaha~ *hugglecuddle* Neither of those boys can have her. She’s my cool & spicy magical girl. Who is incredibly adorable in every way~ Now back off!

sc74-40

I said back off! Separate yourselves! No hand-holding until you’re 25!!!! You have to get neechan’s approval before doing this like that! (oh my, what has happened to me now?)

Oh wait…looks like they’re already separated by bubbles and sparkles. lol. Never mind.

sc74-41

…Ehehe~ You know I should probably be doing my usual, “Aww poor Ikuto. Kitty needs a pet on the head~” (wait what?) thing, but I’m quite enjoying this. Get jealous Ikuto~ Get jealous and do your usual thing. Like back in episode 33 and so on~ If someone else does something, you go out there and top it!

(Plus jealous Ikuto is cute~)

sc74-42

sc74-43

Heh. And so it beings~ Jealous Ikuto trying to spoil Amu’s mood because she’s only allowed to have her mind flooded with thoughts about Ikuto. So we’re going to be fixing that problem now, right Ikuto? Hahaha~

sc74-44

lol. Who’s being all tsuntsun now?

Hahaha~ Like I said Ikuto really is cute when he’s jealous. We never really got to see it before so I’mm just enjoying this oh-so-much~

sc74-45

Haha. That is an obviously jealous statement (not as obvious as Amu’s tsuntsun can be, but still). Too bad Amu didn’t notice (because she has her dense shoujo heroine side going on right now). Then Amu could have asked him if he was jealous and Ikuto could have done the usual “betsu ni” and I could giggle insanely, fall of my chair, and roll around on the floor like an idiot.

…Somehow I think I enjoy mild jealousy in my shoujo the most (well right after stuff like hugging~ and other direct affection) it’s…just cute.

sc74-46

…Ah. Ah…ah…Kyaaa~! :o

I really don’t have to say anything about this line. We all should know what’s coming next. (Ikuto’s going to make Amu pay for making him jealous~ Muahaha~)

sc74-47

:o *has no words to use*

My goodness that’s a really close hug, isn’t it? Cuddling ftw~

sc74-48

sc74-49

But then Ikuto went ahead and called Amu a kid. So she went from tsuntsun so straight up mad.

sc74-50

So he got kicked out of bed. (Noooo! Bad Amu! After locking him up in your closet, you have to let him stay in bed!)

sc74-51

But Ikuto is awesome and always does what we fangirls want him too and he crawled back into bed (and complained like a spoiled kid about the floor being too cold. Cute~).

sc74-52

I’m…going to do the smart thing and keep thoughts to myself here again, but…ahahaha~ This scene really is so much better without the caption It’s fun to let your mind get carried away. Hehehe~

sc74-53

Hahaha. Cute. They really do act like kids when they’re together sometimes. I suppose that’s because neither of them is putting up a front, right? Right~

But away from the fangirling for a second…*maximum rage ON*

…WTF!? Why did Ikuto get kicked out of bed in their little fight in bed! It was supposed to end like this, but they already did that, why?

Heh. I guess it’s because they don’t want to bring up ages. That would be the most logical explanation. Even when there’s an age difference in shoujo manga, they usually like to keep it somewhat vague so that to figure it out you’d have to actually do the math, but Shugo Chara stated it straight out.

I still think that it’s unnecessary even if you assume that they absolutely had to cut that part out. Ikuto still could have stayed in bed and there could have been more cuddling. I’m going to assume they cut it out so that Tadase’s barely-hand-holding with Amu would be completely overshadowed by two cuddling hugs from Ikuto.

…In which case, we’re the 70% majority here guys. Stop displeasing us.

sc74-54

lol. Random topic change. Amu asking about Ikuto at this random moment makes me decide that she feels bad about kicking him out of bed and want to make peace so he’ll sneak back in, right?

I really don’t have a lot to say on this matter though, because I get the feeling I may have discussed it bit by bit without really spoiling it, but by making vague references to it. About how Amu and Ikuto actually talk about real things.About each other, sharing and learning about each other. And how Amu specifically wants to know more about Ikuto and how Ikuto, even though he doesn’t want to tell her anything (and usually doesn’t) still tells her more about himself than he tells anyone else.

Um…basically it all just comes together as a big pile of “aww”-ness.

sc74-55

sc74-56

*sigh* It’s not cuddling, but it’s still darn cute. Especially with Amu looking at Ikuto like that. She always seems like she’s maturing to me~ There’s a phrase about girls growing up when they’re in love isn’t there? Which only makes me want to go, “aww” even more.

Oh and…wasn’t this also the first time Ikuto really talked about Easter with Amu? I find that to be an important development too. Since it’s clear Ikuto isn’t planning on going back now. It also means that Ikuto’s fine with letting Amu be on his side and…awww! (Ah…every time I start making a point I get overloaded and have to stop)

sc74-57

Liar~ And Amu sees right through you~ She drops it, because that’s what Ikuto obviously wanted, but she knows there’s more to it. Especially in the anime where Amu finds out that Ikuto’s violin is missing. If he didn’t care about it or his father he wouldn’t have even bothered to find it.

Also, it’s fun to notice how Ikuto purposely wanted to drop it after she brought up the Dumpty Key. That’s Amu getting things that he doesn’t want her to…I think. We’re pretty clear on the Dumpty Key now in the manga, but since we still need to know more about Ikuto’s father that mysetery is left open. (*sigh* I’d really like for Ikuto’s father to show up soon… )

sc74-58

Oh there it is. I love a little subtle part of this scene where you can tell Ikuto’s bothered by Amu saying that a little (though you can’t see his face). She saw right through him~ He is always treating Amu like a kid, but he gets pretty childish around her. I wonder if Ikuto didn’t notice or if he just didn’t want Amu to notice (lol, because guys always like to be cool, right?). Maybe it’s a little bit of both.

But still…awww…(would have been even better if it was followed by cuddling)

sc74-59

sc74-60

Ahahaha~ This is another one of those moments where Amu’s reaction really makes you wonder, “What did you think was going to happen?” Amu~

And now we hit the best part of the episode. All fangirls get a dish ready so you at least melt into a container rather than just a puddle. A lot of words aren’t required so everyone please just “kyaa~” “*squee*” and even silently fangirl with me (for when there is no fangirl reaction that can cover it)

sc74-61

sc74-62

sc74-63

sc74-64

Now that’s getting right to the point!

sc74-65whoosh~

And that’s the right reaction.

sc74-66

Aww indeed…

sc74-67

sc74-68

Awww…Ikuto…

sc74-69

Awwww

*melts into a puddle*

sc74-70

Ah…*is now a dead fangirl puddle*

EDIT in: OMG~ I just remembered the second opening~ And now Ikuto’s the one in Amu’s eyes too. Kyaaa~! :o

sc74-71

Right here I think it’s as impossible to figure out what Amu is thinking as it is to put the fangirl reaction for this scene into words.

There must be…a lot of things going through her head…

Like take the extreme fangirl reaction and multiply it by at least ten since Amu’s the one that’s actually there and having all sorts of other things going through her head. (Unlike my one-track fangirl mind)

sc74-72

Awww…Ikuto…is that a little bit of regret in his eyes? Well yeah…he should have been honest much sooner. Since Amu likes an honest Ikuto best (I like Ikuto when he’s honest too~).

So…aww…the moment’s over.

sc74-73

Wait…will what? What aren’t you going to do that you were going to do Ikuto!?

sc74-74

Ah…this is a line I really like. Ikuto really does have his noble side~ (So cute how he’s curled up his blanket when he says it so you can’t see his face…like he’s being cute and shy~ ehehe~)

Now I’d hate to ruin the fangirl party with some minor ranting, so I’ll keep it vague. But now some certain incredibly stupid fangirls can shut up. We’re following the shoujo rules so the debate has officially ended. Now go take a hike and cry into your pillows you sore losers.

sc74-75

I guess I have to assume that’s Amu’s dense heroine side, but I won’t. Instead I’ll assume that Amu not taking Ikuto seriously in any of this stuff is because she absolutely doesn’t think that Ikuto could like her because it would make her too happy.

You know~ “It’s too good to be true” and such.

Ah…I think I’ll just leave it here. This was a great episode. Absolutely great~ I just wanted more cuddling (one more) like this~

Preview

sc74p3

Yay! Utau! My wonderful tsundere idol queen! *glomp*

It’s a good thing she’s here because next week we won’t have a lot of Amuto. Without Utau there to distract me I’d be going through withdrawals. Though we do get to learn a lot about Ikuto, so that kind of makes up for it. After next week Utau will become an unofficial member of team Amuto, right?

Well no, that’s impossibly since she’s Utau, but she’ll support Amu as much as she possibly can…considering she’s Utau.

sc74p1

And we also have Kutau! Finally! After all of this time!

But oh noes~ Is Utau going to leave before we get any fillers? No!!! That’s no good! Especially since I don’t want Utau to leave it all. If she leaves, she’ll be gone longer than in the manga!

Oh, but wait…while we heard about Utau and Kukai going to eat ramen in the manga we didn’t really see it, did we?

…I’m now suddenly feeling a little bit better.

sc74p2

No!!! Filler kid! DIE!!!! I don’t want you screwing up my plot! I don’t really care if Lulu pops up, but I don’t want any of her lame transformations! Go away!

Well, maybe I’ll get one of my favorite Utau and Amu team-ups again. Ooo~ and maybe with Kukai this time too?

Hmm…well it might be that bad. They’re not allowed to spend more than two minutes on any development for this kid that’s not related to Utau or Kukai though.

Ugh…filler kid. And for a second I naïvely thought we might get the next 4 episodes without fillers. Oh well…what can you do? *goes back to watch more Amuto instead*

    You know what? Ikuto has been gone since before Valentine’s Day right? So he hasn’t bathed in over a month. Ewww. But anyways, OMG this episode was awesome!!! Amu scared me in this episode though especially the face she made right before she went to her room to stuff Ikuto in her closet. Ikuto made so many sad faces! I don’t know why, but I love serious Ikuto. I just wish that Amu would realize that Ikuto was actually being serious. I wondered what he was going to do that he decided not to do too! Maybe he was going to kiss her! I think Amu would beliave that confession then! wtf at the end, Tadase’s chocolate was sparkly. This episode was really shiny.

    March 14th, 2009

  5. I didn’t really care much for the episode (But I watched it), but the screencaps were epic. :D

    Oh lol at Amu being all fangirly and sparkly. It’s just too pathetically funny. XD

    March 14th, 2009

  6. Aqua-chan

    Oh geez, my mom actually came into my room to see why I was screaming at 11:00 at night…. it was awkward explaining why Ikuto and Amuto make me feel the need to burst out screaming :lol:

    And yeah, Satelight, we ARE the 70% here, gives us some more stuff, y’know?! -sigh- :x

    And what girl WOULDN’T want Ikuto in their bed? :XO: It’d be the best thing ever….. BE GRATEFUL AMU!!!

    Ah! I love your posts! I haven’t had time to post anything though (because I knew I’d write really, really long ones…and whenever I thought about it I got tired…so I never did it ::is lazy:: D| )

    Anyway, fangirl moment: KYAAAAAA!!!!! :o :o :XO: :wink: :o :o

    I’m going to keep things very sweet and simple in this post, since this episode just equals fangirling, though I may end up going all of the place with my comments since my mind turned to liquid. So, I’m 99.99999% certain that their is a nice, lovely heartbeat in the background when Amu looks at Ikuto after he says he’s just a boy who cries wolf. Ya know, right during that wonderful screenshot you have of Amu’s eye, with that could-have-missed-it-if-fangirls-didn’t-have-super-vision reflection of Ikuto in it. :) :wink: :halo:

    On to other, non-fangirl related things. Nagihiko’s random appearance first made me go: 8O Then made me go: :twisted: When I saw the flower it turned to: :!: And after it was all over, about a second after, my face just went like this: :lol: It was a nice, fun (though weird and kinda awkward) moment.

    Oh, and me (being the overly kind hearted person I am…kind hearted to a fault… :( ) I found the Tadase confession to be sorta cute… :oops: But it didn’t get my heart racing like Amuto always does! X3

    Finally, this episode gave me two ideas for Amuto one-shots. (And a comment on your comment about Amu and Ikuto having a super cute and happy family…they better! >,< If not, I will just continue writing my fanfics that do have Ikuto and Amu with a cute and happy family (two girls and one boy! ^-^))

    Oh! This comment turned out to be far longer than I had planned… :roll: Oh well! :P I just want to say that even if I don’t comment all the time (or most of the time…or nearly never) I read all of your Shugo Chara posts and I appreciate them so much! You usually spot the same things that I do, though a lot of the times you spot things that I never did (and look for things that I never do), and you give good insight, which I always appreciate.

    So please, keep up the great work here and do these posts at a pace that is both healthy and enjoyable to and for you. Sa…ganbatte kudasai! (^0^)o

    OMG!!! i just saw it! i love it! i wish they cuddled more to! OS KAWAI~!

    March 14th, 2009

  9. 8O This episode made me (and probably everyone) so doki while watching it. I really like how, during Tadase’s confession, Amu looked so confused. There was a part where Tadase goes, “I’m really happy” and she thinks, “I’m happy, too…” and I could almost hear the “… right?” hanging off of the end of it.

    It wasn’t quite as well done as the manga, but I think it turned out much better than it could have. For me, having both the Tadamu and Amuto confessions together in one episode just underlines how shallow Tadamu can feel – Amu practically summed it up for us with her comment about how she feels admiration for Tadase.

    Whee, I’m excited for the Kutau in the next chapter. You’ve totally turned me onto that… I think I just automatically accept your pairings now. :roll: Ah. I can’t wait until chapter 38 gets here. No more fillers, please!

    Chibi’s last post…Critters RFDR Done!

  10. Uuuhhh…I guess this episode was cute…

    I just hope Tadase finds hiself a nice girl soon.

    March 14th, 2009

  11. Kyaa!!~ The episode we have all been waiting for is finally here! I seriously started giggling and screaming even before the episode aired. Hehe…So the next four episode are basically from the manga? I saw one of the titles about a first date broken, but that doesn’t sound familiar. 70 screencaps, wow, nice. ^^

    It was so cute when Amu woke up and noticed Ikuto, but didn’t go crazy. She’s already getting used to it! xD Amu has become considerably strong now, huh? Haha, giving a banana to a cat, bananas are for monkeys! Poor Amu getting teased about her figure again.~ (Did he say…jiggly?)

    Poor Kiseki, having to eat all of those chocolates because his owner just has to because he’s too nice. Seriously, he should just eat the ones he wants. He has boxes full of chocolates! Nagi with a white flower in the middle of the field, utterly random, but still cool. I’m with you! It better be for Rima-sama!

    Ami’s just so darn cute. >.< She takes her awesomeness from her sister. xD Jiii~

    Tadase is a shouta! He destroys backgrounds! Amu is scary! Throwing Ikuto…so strong! You want Ikuto to consider you feminine…right?! During Tadase’s confession, the “I’ve always admired you,” sounded like she admitted her fangirl-ness. Poor Ikuto! I wanted to snuggle him this whole time…seriously. I feel so sorry for him, discovering the chocolates, hearing the confession. But of course, his jealousy even came out cool. Cuddling!!~ But…meanie Amu didn’t take it seriously. I want to know what Ikuto was going to do too, I demand to know, NOW, lol. I agree, Ikuto did show how noble he was by going back down to the floor (if…that was what you were talking about).

    KUTAU!!! Ramen scene! This keeps getting better and better! But please, help me kill the filler boy. *evil grin*

  15. I loved the episode. It made me fangirl so much XD
    I won’t say much because you said it all, and I totally agree, but since they removed the bit with them cuddling, I think they may remove the shower bit too for the same reasons. I hope not though, because its awesome, and cute :)
    I can’t wait for next week, with Kukai and Utau – I’ve missed them. I also have no problem with their pairing, but I think I am biased because my OC likes Kukai. God I’m SC freaky fan. Kukai and Utau are definitely a good pair.

    GAAAAAASSSSSPPPPPP! 8O ACK! if my heart wasn’t beating hard already when I watched it, I deserve to be hospitalized now! WOW! You have no idea how much I LOVED this episode. How did u even see the Ikuto in her eyes??? I wouldn’t have even noticed!!! I do think they stretched out to Tadase confession :mrgreen: too long and Ikuto’s :XO: too short! I think they’re trying to fool us into thinking Amu likes Tadase, so when the time comes for chapter 38 to become animated, we’ll all be “surprised” and say, “OH! So Amu likes Ikuto after all! I never saw that coming!” I :XO: Ikutoooooo
    Oooooh! Kutau :XO: ! before I even read the manga, I could tell the pop idol/sports star couple would be perfect for each other! :lol:
    (Random Note: Me and my friend, who has trouble pronouncing japanese names, had decided to give american names to all the character, stupid, i know, but at least she remembers… for example Tadase=Todd
    Ikuto=Ike
    Amu=Amy
    Ami=Annie
    Rima=Reina
    Nadeshiko= Nadine
    Nagihiko= ummmm…TBA
    Kukai=Kyle
    Kairi=Kevin
    Yaya=Yolanda (but her NICKNAME would be Yaya)
    Utau=Thalia ( couldn’t think of a “u” name)
    Lulu= Lulu
    Ran=Renee (ren-ay)
    Miki= Mikayla
    Suu= Sue
    Kiseki=(king) Kenny
    Yoru= Night (stupid, i know, but it’s better than Yves or something)
    Kusukusu= Kelly
    Pepe= Peppy :mrgreen:
    Iru=Iva
    Eru=Eva
    Dia=Diane
    Musashi= Michelle (it’s a bi-gender name, ask my French Grandfather)
    Daichi=Dillan
    Temari= Tamara
    Rythm= Ryan/Rythm (she’s not up to that yet…)

    Where did you watch the episode? I can’t find it. oh, kukai and utau in the preview :XO: I love Amu’s reactions too. :( Great and just when we thought the filler characters where done.

    March 14th, 2009

  19. Half-sleep, half awake Ikuto looks adorable. And yes she is a lying poser.

    Heh. Anime!Yoru is adorable.

    Yawning Ikuto is also adorable.

    Amu’s mom will be fairly cool when she discovers Amu’s secret though.

    That’s true. It would probably have little white spots on it now. Especially if it was homemade, since they don’t have nearly the amount peservetives that store bought has.

    Everyone needs something to read on the bus.

    It’s for Rima. To distract her from the fact that, two boys are in Amu’s room.

    Yes. With plenty of little tsunderes.

    Yes. Threating and awesome are an awesome combination.

    He stole his mother’s shojo manga magazines.

    Jealous Ikuto~ I’ve wanted to see it too. (I like that he actually does something when he’s jealous, rather then just sitting in a cornor, being Emo).

    I was a little upset they cut out cuddling too…oh well it was still super awesome.

    to be onest the norwegian dub is bad. y’now when rima says: BALLA BALANCE

    here some other bad transelations: i start with the orginally titel and then the norwegian (bad) transelation, so the english transelation of the wrong norwegian.

    KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I was squealing the whole way through the review!!!

    Yawning kitty Ikuto…..WHERE CAN I BUY ONE!?!?!? So adorable!!!!

    If Nagi picks a flower and he is not seen throughout the episode giving it to Amu, then its for Rima. *nods firmly*

    Ami + Jiiii = KAWAII!!!!

    GAAAAAAA!!! :o :x Curse you Ikuto….. NEXT TIME DON’T CALL HER A KID!!!!!! :cry: We want the cuddle to last longeeeeeeer!!!

    I could go on about the rest of episode in great detail but I won’t because I wanna shout this after not being able to for so long after watching the anime every week… KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! KUTAU!!!!!!!! :XO: :XO: :XO:

  25. Murasaki

    Ohh…even before I started reading the manga I waited for this, and you know what? I’m kinda glad Tadagay was there so it could make Ikuto’s confession-y thing a whole lot better :XO: . But I shouldn’t hae had to wait a whole 74 episodes for it. Nyaaa~

    Poor Ikuto, in a closet… :( you could see the pain in his eyes…

    But, Nagi~!!! You are such a gentleman, getting a white flower for Rima…IT IS FOR RIMA!!!!11 BECAUSE I SAID SO, IT IS!!1111

    Yaya shouldn’t be calling Amu when there is a catboy in her room…She should be taking care of the catboy… :P

    Hah, the charas making cat noises…I don’t think Tadagay was sold on that, though…

    Ikuto got a snuggle~! :XO: I don’t think Amu even minded that much, she’s just a little tsundere girl. Who DOESN’T mind older boys in her bedroom, even if they’re mean. RIGHT, Amu?

    Oh, and I totally second the “Amuto are going to get married and have a cool family one day.” And thier kids’ll have Charas! And they’ll name one Utau, and Ami, and thier parent’s names…and they will all have pink/blue hair! *Goes off into future Amuto fantasy land*

    Awesome post and screencaps, and thank you, Satelight for this episode, even if it was later that expected.

    …And, Satelight? Why the f*** were there so many damn fillers? Unneccesary, I say, UNNECCESARY!!! Nya~

    March 14th, 2009

  26. Oh gosh. I…I don’t even know where to start. Um, let’s see.

    Yoru’s such an awesome character, even if he was being a bit dramatic with Ikuto. XD But it’s a good thing, because if he didn’t worry so much about Ikuto, we wouldn’t have him back in her bed room.

    Awww, Ikuto. How could you call Amu fat? D: But of course, she wouldn’t stop staring at him, so he had to do something to bring her back to earth.

    I actually felt kinda sorry for Kiseki at that moment. Why is he the one eating the chocolate if Tadase was the one who received them? >_> Taking advantage of your chara like that, tsk tsk. If you wanna be nice and ignore common sense, fine, but don’t make your chara get a stomachache because of it. D:

    I loved the jii-. XD Ami’s so cute when she gets into serious mode (and you make a good point about the whole meeting his sister-in-law thing, I hadn’t even stopped to think about that. >w> ).

    I should HOPE people don’t throw their cats around like Amu’s been throwing Ikuto around. Seriously, when did she get that strong? o__O Carrying Ikuto back must’ve had something to do with it. Though come on, Amu. Don’t throw around a poor stray kitty, especially when he’s sick. D:

    The Amu-fangirl moments completely ruined the confession for me. I couldn’t take it seriously at all, really. The only thing that was great about the confession is that it made Ikuto all jealous (and I do love watching Ikuto getting jealous when someone else is all over Amu >w> ). The following part was hilarious, too. I love how he’s like Amu with his jealousy, just in a less obvious way.

    Eeep! That’s right Ikuto, get right to the point! Though I’m pretty sure he knew Amu wouldn’t believe him. That’s probably why he said it. =/ But the look…THE look…and Amu’s reaction…*squee* *is a fangirl puddle*

    Three cheers for Kutau next week! Sure, there’s filler guy, but what I noticed is that they’re gonna actually show the scene where Utau and Kukai have the ramen-eating contest, so that’s more Kutau for us. :3 All in all, I am one happy fangirl. Great review, and I’m looking forward to next week’s!

    This episode reminds me of a shugo chara! forum I recently found. Of course, there was an Amuto vs. Tadamu thread. And one of the arguments was “Amu’s hair is pink, and her eyes are yellow. Tadase’s hair is yellow, and his eyes are pink. SO THEY’RE IN LOVE!!!111″. I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh or headesk. ANd the amuto responses were just as bad.
    People need to accept Amuto is cannon. BUT people especially need to accept that not everyone needs to love Amuto just because it’s cannon.
    <3
    Anyway, this episode was beautiful. No, I didn’t watch it, but I can tell from your screencaps. From the cute shota-prince sparkles to the gorgeous moonlit amuto scene, this episode was wonderful.
    I always giggle and smile when Amu fangirls over Tadase. It show’s her adorable little girl side, and I know I’d be doing the same if I was an elementary school student in SC. But yeah. I don’t think I could support Tadamu anymore. Don’t laugh, but I have fallen in love with Tadami. The age difference isn’t very big~! D: I think it’s they same age difference as Amua nd Ikuto have..? Oh well. I just love my crack couples.
    Ramen Date next episode~! I’m estatic.
    Yes~! Ramen date next episode~! I’m very happy.

  28. the manga was nekoyoshi :3
    you’re welcome

    awwwwww I loved your interpretation about this one thing :3… Tadase saying that kind of stuff due to his shoujo manga knowledge made go all giggly x3 … and here I thought it was Kuukai’s fault xD but then again… Kuukai’s fault is the next speech not here’s so I’ll go with your theory xP… LOL maybe Ikuto was reading it too for that reasons xD…. shoujo mangas could be really useful I even learned how hickeys were done *gets shot* x_x
    anyway.. I didn’t like the random changes of topics and the timing… I had to repeat Ikuto’s “yes you” to get the right idea.. it came soo fast x_x on contrast to Tadase’s xD LOL!!

    March 14th, 2009

  32. all the parts with Tadase made me want to barf. how could he be so dense to NOT know Amu was Amulet Heart. i felt so bad for Ikuto having to listen to all that…confession stuff. that lasted like 4 hours.

    i thought i was going to have a bigger problem with the age thing….but then i am reminded of sailor moon and realized the numbers COULD be bigger x_X

    i wish Amu would have been nicer to Ikuto though…she was the one who kicked him out of the house. :roll:

    Christina’s last post…The more you know!

    March 14th, 2009

  33. After reading through the comments on here… I think I’m the only one who cried during this episode? (Or at least part of it… ^_^;; )

    It broke my heart to see Ikuto listening into the confession with Amu and Tadase. How he just closed his eyes at that one part.

    But when it got to at night where Ikuto says “So Tadase Loves You” and onwards, I wasn’t fan-girling or squeeing or whatever. I was crying because after Amu’s reaction when he says “I do. You” and his face expression and then him reflected in her eyes and that expression he gives after the part where it shows Amu looking at him… my heart broke.

    I compared the two confessions. The Amuto one seems to have the most serious feel to it. And it was kind of sad in a way too. Whereas, the Tadamu one was more “dokidoki” and blushing and all that sparkly crap.

    But really, did the Amuto one need the sparkles? I think it sufficed without it because you don’t need sparkles to show love.

    And I think the expression Amu gave after Tadase’s confession where her hair falls in front of her face and stuff… I didn’t see it as shy and embarrassed. I saw it as a kind of regretful and embarrassed expression because maybe the confession didn’t have as much as an impact as she thought it would have, or maybe it didn’t mean as much to her anymore? I guess it shows she’s slowly growing out of her Tadase crush?

    Also, this has been a thought I’ve had lately, but doesn’t it make Amuto more apparent if you consider the following? The Tadase confession has been resolved, and Amu accepts it, and in chapter whatever, Amu and Tadase shook on being friends.

    But the Ikuto confession was left just kind of out there, and that problem hasn’t been resolved yet. It could be left for the end if Amu brings it up again. It just feels like that confession needs more recognition, and the only way I see that be possible would be if Amu confronts Ikuto at the end and they end up together. It feels like they left that important part for a big finale where Amu and Ikuto become the official pair.

  34. Whoa…so many comments. I’m not going to be able to reply to everyone…sorry. I’m just going to reply if I have something to add, I guess. I’m sorry, but I hope everyone understand I’d just be too overloaded otherwise.

    Amutofan123: lol. Well, you could say that, but let’s not. It’s a plothole Satelight is going to look over apparently (I guess there was water in the greenhouse so…who knows?)

    We all love serious Ikuto, because it’s a rarer side I guess? I think Amu was expecting a kiss at least when he leaned down like that. Maybe he was going to after~

    kaedemirumo: Awww, but yes, the screencaps are epic (well lol, I though the whole thing was epic)

    Oh indeed it’s pathetically funny, but part of me doesn’t want “pathetic” to ever be associate with my Amu-chan! lol.

    Aqua-chan: lol. That must have been awkward, that’s why I repress my fangirling until I become totally speechless, lol.

    LilyGinnyBlack: Ah! I’ve read your fanfictions! Assuming you’re the one from Fanfiction.net (I think it’s a pretty safe bet). I don’t comment because…well I don’t even remember if I have a fanfiction account, but all of your one-shots are amazing!

    Oh there is a very nice loud heartbeat when Amu looks at Ikuto I think~

    lol, Nagihiko’s appearance was random (and awkward), but it was cute. Especially if you let your mind get carried away and shout, “THAT FLOWER BELONGS TO RIMA!!!”

    I think it’s normal to think Tadase’s confession is cute.

    Haha~ I will be looking forward to those one-shots. Hmm…I think I should comment this time. Especially since you wrote me such a lovely comment. (Thank you~ And I of course love it when I find out someone I already respect reads my blog).

    And of course, you should keep writing fanfics even if they do end upp with their cute family. The more family happiness the better.

    Chibi: AH! I wonder if it’s just because we all see shallowness in Tadamu almost everywhere, but I kind of heard the “…right?” there too. Like…she just doesn’t quite think this is what she wants.

    Yes. It does underline that I think. It kind of makes me unnecessarily annoyed with Tadamu fans because I can’t help but go, “How can you not get it?” But ah…everyone’s entitled to their opinions. (Even if they’re “wrong” muahahaha~)

    Wow, I suddenly feel special. I’m a leader in shipping!!! Except I get turned onto pairings by other people too. Like a mild liking for Kairi x Yaya and someone’s really got me looking at Lulu x Tadase.

    blossomgirl101: The “first date broken” is apparently going to be when Tadase finds out Ikuto’s been staying at Amu’s house. Like…he goes over her house to pick her up for a date or something and then finds out? I don’t know, but in the manga Amu was supposed to meet him (I don’t think it was specifically a “date” though)

    Yes, she’s used to it~ (And she better stay used to it, because at some point in her life every morning’s gonna be like that~)

    lol. He did. At least in that translation.

    Amu doesn’t need Ikuto to consider her feminine because she just has to be herself around him! Victory for Amuto~! But omg, you’re right. It is like she admitted her fangirl side (admitting it is the first step~).

    I kind of figured Ikuto’s noble side was that he would wait for Amu to grow up and wouldn’t do things that might distress her. So…well yeah, going back on the floor is in that too.

    Oh I’ll help…I’d even break the weapons. Muahaha~

    Mo0on12: The screencaps are awesome aren’t they? But you have to have seen the episode by now.

    YES! Kutau videos! Hahaha~ All it takes is having more scenes with them together (Like how it’s so easy to find Rimahiko videos after that filler with them.

    Oh I know…sad Ikuto makes me sad (But having him confess makes me so happy~).

    Miriam: Uh…well I think they’ll make the shower scene less…obvious. But if they do they incur fangirl wrath once again.

    ikuto MY neko-chan: :lol: After your comment I think I do have a pretty idea how much you loved the episode.

    warriorhope: Hehe~ you made me laugh a couple of times.

    Jealous Ikuto is a good side of Ikuto. Because he doesn’t take it too far, but it still makes him take action! Plus he’s cute when he’s being kind of pouty.

    mimi: Hmm, well I do have a little self-rule about helping people who don’t speak English as their first language. So you can find the episode on tokyotosho.com as a torrent. As far as using torrents…well you can look that up and find something if you don’t know how I’m sure.

    saimaisama: Well, Tadase was pretty cute in this episode (lol, to most people, but me because I can’t like princely shouta’s).

    They are way too cute…and they needed total spammage! Amuto~

    Murasaki: …Well I think it does make Ikuto’s confession better (plus being jealous made Ikuto take action).

    Effyness: Yes…Yoru deserves some sort of present for being such an awesome chara…um…maybe more catnip? And anything else he wants~

    Ah…actually yeah. If Tadase’s the one who really wants to make sure the chocolate gets eaten he should do it all himself.

    lol. I always think about an Amuto family. XD

    Like someone else pointed out too, Ikuto not eating enough lately may have made him lighter too…but yeah…wow Amu.

    I think Ikuto wanted Amu to believe him, even though he knew she wouldn’t though. But alas, like he said, he’s the boy who cried wolf.

    13Cici: Oh god. I’ve seen that before. Then I like to counter with, “OH yeah!? Well Amu and Ikuto can have purple-haired babies so stfu! With Tadase all she’d get are babies with a lighter shade of pink…or orange…ew” Sometimes being immature back shuts them up.
    But yeah…everyone just needs to grow up a little.

    Well, that’s why you have to let Amu have her fangirl side, I sit back and remind myself of how old she is and it makes her cute. Better she fangirl over Tadase anyway. It just totally deflates the mood.

    Actually I encountered that pairing recently and I thought, “That’s not so bad” because it is kind of interesting how the age difference is the same. I couldn’t seriously support it until I know how Ami would act when she’s older. The only reason I think Amuto works is because they seem like they’re on the same level as far as maturity goes (or at least they’re close). Right now with Ami’s current personality I can’t even imagine what she’d be like when she’s older.

    erizibang: Nekoyoshi…darn it that’s just too cute.

    Ikuto doesn’t need shoujo manga’s though…he runs on pure…lineage? Ah, I don’t know, but he comes up with pretty good lines on his own, like, “I’ll eat your ice cream and Amu?” Damn that’s the kind of stuff you can’t even find in shoujo manga! (Ignoring the fact that it has now appeared in shoujo manga)

    Christina: Well yeah…and it’s especially bad in the anime with all those fillers where he was happily going along with life while Amu felt all bad because Tadase was a dense…poohead.

    There’s also that “unspoken” rule in shoujo that if the older guy “waits” it’s automatically okay! But yeah…Sailor Moon…I’ve had to point that out to a few people who tried to say age differences like that don’t happen in shoujo (and lolz, CCS’s manga especially).

    Yeah. Amu seems really mean because of that, doesn’t she? (I guess being called fat by someone you potentially like really hurts your ego…)

    Lea-chan: Ah…I’d say you probably were. I might have too if I hadn’t read the manga so long ago and wasn’t sick. Then again I was a lot sadder when I watched it than squealy~ when I went back to talk about it. Because then the initial impact is over…so then you see the good smaller points and want to get excited with everyone.

    Then the wait is also just more likely to make you more excited than sad (because you’re just too happy to see it).

    But yeah…I agree with most of what you’re saying here. The episode was sad. I still was happy that we got closer to the ultimate goal.

    I would disagree on Amu not being shy and embarassed though, as much as I would love to agree with you since I don’t want Tadamu and would love to have Amu filled with regret. There’s two reasons for this…

    1. Amu got shy and embarrassed when Kairi confessed. Confessions are just embarrassing and especially at that age she doesn’t really know what to do or how to respond.

    2. Even if she doesn’t like Tadase now necessarily, the fact that she “admired” and treated him, well the way I’m always calling her a fangirl I’d say a celebrity is a good way to put it, would be enough to make her embarrassed. I mean, imagine a celebrity confessing to you!

    Yeah. For story development, after this point Amuto seems so muhc more likely, because the resolution is still open. Wouldn’t you save the end pair’s resolution for the end as a big finish? I always tend to think that when a guy confesses before the other, he’s done for unless the girl accepts it in a very direct, certain way (and depending on the type of series even that won’t be enough until the other guy gets completely rejected).

Used that screenname for soooo long now and I don’t feel like changing it! :P

    Thank you for the comment on my one-shots! I find it a true honor to hear that you like them since I respect you! :) And, you know those fillers that you’ve always wanted to see (an Alice in Wonderland one, a sleep over, and etc. I’ll eventually get around to writing about them (they’ve actually been in the back of my mind for a LONG time now! ^.~))

    Oh, and the moment with Nagi was cute! ^ω^

    Finally, I’ll continue to write Amuto family adorable-ness, because there simply is NOT enough (even if we do get some in the epilogue, which I dearly hope we do!) Since the anime is finally heading into the serious and really good parts of the Shugo Chara manga I’ll be commenting more often! ^.^

  37. OMG. It. Was. So. CUTE~!!!!! :o :o :o I haven’t fangirled this much since… I can’t be bothered to count, but a long time! I mean, even Toradora! didn’t get me fangirling like Shugo Chara! did! I mean… KYAAA~!!!! I was giggling like a little kid the whole time!!! :oops:

    Scary Amu…………….. :roll: I’d rather be in the wardrobe than outside it if Amu’s being that scary!!! :cry: Kowaii~! 8O

    Omg I’m so happy SC! has returned to some of it’s former epicness. I doubt it’ll ever be as good as the first season, but I think they’ll start picking up more and more now. I hope… :|

    Yay! Utau! Why does Kukai have a determined look onhis face…? :twisted: maybe they’re having a ramne eating competition! :lol: LOL!

    You know, I rarely comment in blogs because of tough schedule but I just had to do this.

    And uhhh, why does Ikuto seem to get hot and hotter every episode? :XO:

    Anyways, I wish I could watch this episode already. Stupid school work.

    On the other hand, DIE FILLER KID. :down:

    March 16th, 2009

  39. OMG >///< I like this episode so much… If a boy hugs me like Ikuto does I’ll never kick him out of my bed :XO:

    IKUTO :XO:

    Wow! This episode was filled with pure epic cuteness! :o I’m a glad we were given so much Amutoness. I was listening to the BG music when Amu woke up and noticed Ikuto on her bed; the music was the same one from episode 64 (Amu dreaming about Ikuto scene :lol: ). I thought Amu’s dream was gonna come true :cry: … Oh well there was plenty of extra Amutoness to make up for that :lol:

    The two confessions, well first of all I don’t support Tadamu but to me Tadase is okay, I thought the confession was cute; made me go ‘oh how nice’. Ikuto’s confession just made me want to cry for some reason to me the scene was emotional so instead of ‘fangirl squeal’, I ‘fangirl cried’. Oh and the music that played during Ikuto’s confession almost reminded me of Sailor Moon but it was such a nice tone to the scene. I hope it comes out in the next OST.

  42. I’m sorry this is late. I really am. TT_TT

    Hmm…that’s quite a few dangerous words you said there, hun. And no, I’m not being a pervert. I’m just overly thinking as always. xD;

    I would goddamn like to know how she dragged him in and up those stairs without anyone noticing. Unless nobody was home (probably it) but still, how far were they away from her house? And Ikuto’s still at least a head and half taller than her so she couldn’t have got home that fast if he couldn’t even walk much by himself. *thinking too much and doesn’t really care cuz they got back anyway* 8D;

    Ikuto only behaves like a kitty when he’s around Amu~! <333 That’s LOVE, hun. That’s LOVE! 8DDD

    HELL YEA!…I was happy but damn right, a banana isn’t enough! She should give him a bigger meal at least! Cook it for him herself! ARGH!

    Pfft, it challenges their manliness. Oh god, that’s so true and I love it. If only Amu can be a little dense during moments like that, then she can do that again, get him annoyed into teasing her, and yapyapyap *Amuto lurve~* xDDDD

    Be not surprised by either…just be happy she has it for him to read~ (so she has to continue buying the issues from now on, hahahaha!)

    We still haven’t gotten an Amu Jiii-?! *GASPETH!* D8
    I. WANT. NOW.

    Must be boyfriend and girlfriend before marriage~ No rushy no rushy~! *singsong* lalala~

    You’d kinda wonder how the hell Tsukasa was allowed to walk around when he was Tadase’s age without blinding the whole world into oblivion with his…EArLGH! <– Lack of brain to think up a word.

    Don’t get started on the pout. Stop it! No pouting! *now imagining Ikuto pouting*
    …*facedesks* ^///^;;

    Amu got a heck of a lot of muscle from running up the stairs that fast. ^^;
    But she’s so mean~! D: I mean, I mean, Amu is just awesome awesome at everything hilarious she does but she’s so mean~! Amu~! Dx *whiny*

    Nothing left to say about Tadase’s confession in general…but I wish someone would’ve given Ikuto a hug in the middle of all that. Not possible, I know but it made me so ;_________; Ikutoooo~!
    Argh! I haven’t done that since last episode, I just realized! TAT

    NO WAY, WOMAN! AMU IS MINE! *elbowshove* I CALLED HER FIRST! xP
    You can have Utau. *only promoting her, not hogging* (haha, you are contagious xD;)

    Jealous Ikuto~ x3333 So cute. His voice sounds a little different, he starts getting cocky, he just lies there as if doesn’t matter to him at all and everything just looks the opposite to all of us except for Amu, which must pisses him off a little, too. Oh~, Ikuto~! You should’ve been a little more possessive. Ah, but we’ll have plenty of opportunities for that later on, ne? ;D
    …when are we going to see Amu get jealous over him? D:

    HUG! 8DD Hug! >8D …Hug…<333
    And then she kicked him out. D8 And so roughly! Hidoi yo~! Amu-chan! D;

    Lol I loved it when he whined to her cuz he had every right to sound spoiled. Amu needs to get more use to spoiling him~ Nyahahaha~!

    …Pervert.

    Do not worry. They’ll definitely have them cuddling and hugging in Amu’s bed again cuz they’re Satelight. They love repeating stuff…so do it, dammit! DEEEEEEWWW IIIIITTTTT!!!!!! 8DDDDDDD;;;;

    …Why don’t you two get to know each other more while cuddling a little closer, eh? Scoot, scoot. C’mon, scoot. xDDD

    Maturing = growing up = falling in love, hmm? …This is why I will be a shoujo fan for the rest of my million lives over. Haha

    What? Ikuto always wanted to be by Amu’s side. Whatchu talkin’ about? *lack of brain again* Phaha…every time I make a point, I keep going. xDDD;;;

    Hehe…hehe, the fact that Amu can see through quite a handful of Ikuto’s lies makes me so happy. He kinda failed at trying to wrap that up, though, but still…I bet he wanted to just spill all that turmoil out and just hold her to get some comfort. D’awwwwwzzzz…can we have that hug already? Please? Pretty please? 83

    Huh? We are? We still don’t know who it came from though majority guessings are probably right. It didn’t really belong to Yui but Aruto instead (screw the spoilers). (And he…or rather, his hand or something (lol) is going to show up next episode in a flashback. Which I’m so excited! *dances around cuz she’s such a die-hard Aruto and Souko fan* xDDD)

    Hehe, so true. Amu hit him in a vulnerable spot so he must punish her but getting all up close in her face and making her gasp and blush~ x333



    Are you still a puddle? *pokes you with a stick*
    xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

    I’m just going to smile at those…12 screencaps? *not counting the first one* I can’t do anymore than smile (a little sadly) at it.

    Huh, I think it would be more interesting to find out all the dozen of emotions running inside her lil’ heart and making her feel a little angsty and anxious but warm at the same time. D’aww, I’m about to melt into a puddle. xD;

    Ikuto looks so sad. ;_________; Go hug Amu and feel better. Don’t say you won’t do it! And tell her you really mean what you say, too. Be more honest! Go, you silly boy! ;_________;

    Hehehehe But he’s so shy~ AWWWWWW <333333

    Hmm, doesn’t sound like it’s her dense self. I’m pretty much siding with what you said. That it’s kinda hard for her to believe him and she’s just afraid if she starts believing too quickly, she thinks she’ll get hurt. Aww, Amu~! *huggles her* Believe him, honey, believe him!

    Next week…UTAKO! <333333333333333
    I get to comment on that awesome outfit of hers! *dancedancedance* 8DDD

    And Kutau~! Yes, my Kutau icon folder will no longer be empty! *so happy and brimming with joy* <333
    Haha, I love it when the anime covers stuff that can’t be done in the manga. Anime~! Hehe

    Yep, can’t wait! *not caring much about filler kid* Ramen! Ramen! Ramen! ^^

    Thanks for the review!

    Ok, I finally got around to watching 74, and I actually liked two things so far.
    The epic catboy throw into the closet, wow, she really threw him like a ragdoll
    and the “Will you let me love you?” part from Ikuto. I’ll give it to Satelite that I always thought he said the line differently until I heard him actually ’say’ it. The mixed sarcasticness and jealously really work, and I hadn’t gotten that feel until I watched it. So yay!
    And I loved the tackle glomp in animation aswell ^^
    Ahh I really am liking it actually animated, wow suprise!
    But the cookies at the end creeped me out they were glowing! D: haha I think I’ll wait to watch 75 till next week when it’s legal for me :P

    :XO: CUTE!! But way different from the manga. . .WHY!!?? :vangry: It was way better coz Ikuto was cuddling with Amu. . . :roll: But still. . . :halo: Ikuto x Amu forevah!!! :evil: They are meant to be!! Tadamu is too plain. :o

  48. Nova!

    OMG I loved this, I was giggling and everything throughout it! Except for the whole Tadase bit :x … I am in such a jam with Shugo Chara, I am a die-hard Amuto fan… or maybe just Ikuto, my ultra-cute bishie… but my best friend hates him for some odd reason! Totally strange, but it is the same with every manga/anime we read… maybe 2 guys we both like total :roll: . Back on target, why couldn’t Ikuto stay in the bed like usual, though?~ He had in the earlier episodes~ And I’m kinda bummed they messed up my favoritest chapter ever~ (basically all the ones with him in her room are my favorites…>.<) He should’ve stayed there and cuddled… it would’ve been so cuuuuute! :lol:

    Yes! ♥ You put in Ikuto’s face after he said he was the boy who cried wolf! Aww, that totally made me melt… Doki-doki and funny episode!I didn’t really care for Tadase’s confession though. It was all too sparkly and totally not what an 11/12-year-old would say.
    But Ikuto!

    It’s annoying that the cookies Tadase brought her sparkle late into the night… :?:

    This time Ill limit my comment to less than like, three paragraphs! Just one thing: WHY THE HECK IS THE KIDDIE KING SO SHORT IN THIS EPISODE COMPARED TO AMU!? i mean, he looks like a shrimp (Which Amu pointed out in the very first episode but i didnt think he was THAT short) COMPARED TO AMU! Has he ALWAYS been THIS short…?

    April 19th, 2009

  53. Caroline/Willow

    OHHHHHHHH AND ISNT IT WEIRD HOW TADASE’S HAIR IS AMU’S EYE COLOR AND AMU’S HAIR IS TADASE’S EYE COLOR?! It makes it look weird when they’re together…. WHICH PROVES HOW AMUTO IS WAY BETTER!!! MWAHAHAHAHA *acts like a crazy fangirl, but already is one*

    April 19th, 2009

  54. Caroline/Willow

    ok this will be my LAST COMMENT on this episode bbuuutt… this my theory: When Ikuto says ‘Grow up’ I cant help but dream he wants her to grow up so they can be together and Tadase wouldnt exist :D But thats just my dream world of Amuto

    Man, Ikuto is the greatest. If you ask me, he’s a little too sexy for the overall feel of the anime, but i guess thats what makes it interesting. Anyways… I dont think I’ve ever been as obsessed about a male character! Even Death the Kid can’t compare. (If you don’t know who he is, go check him out. He’s pretty friggin awsome.) :XO: :XO: :XO:

    yo. anyway, luv ur blog. k, lets get to the point, i would really aperasheat (sorry for spelling) it if u stop basing tadase. im not asking u to stop, just not as much, k? thant u!!! oh, and could u please do a blogy thingy of episode 93 (i think). thanks!! agian luv ur blog!!!

    P.S. the only reason y i make the first recuset, is cuz im not a amuto fan. im more of a amuhiko fan myself. i just dont like him cuz hes to popular. and hes to old.

    August 30th, 2009

  65. babaloga: lawl. Rejected because purely because of bad spelling. :lol:

    Also the fact that I don’t even bash Tadase, just often provide critique on his relationship with Amu may have something to do with it. I can understand how you wouldn’t get it because you probably can’t even spell critique. :)

    Oh but gee, thanks for telling me you love my blog and then going ahead to SOFTEN the blow of telling me something rather offensive like I bash a character I’ve come to quite like. Along with the classic, unnecessary explanation of what you like and why you dislike what I like for no particular reason. Because god know I love that. Totally love the asking for episode posts thing too. (Have you even read any posts on this blog besides this one :lol: )

    (A rarely seen in recent days immature reply from me. Enjoy it~)
