Torako tries to befriend Touma, but continues to fail when Touma wants nothing to do with her.

Impressions:

This episode seemed quite a bit different from the previous episodes that focused on one of the side characters. Of course it was the same by the fact that it focused on a side character, but beyond that I found it to just have a bit of a different feel then some of the other episodes. It wasn’t so much introducing the character and some weird quirks, it almost seemed like they developed Touma’s character a lot more. They didn’t’ just showcase some weird habits or interesting, they showed her trying to be alone, showing her having mixed feelings about whether to be friends or not, and so on. It still wasn’t anything too deep. After all, it was still just an episode in a pure comedy show, but it still had a bit of a different feel. I really felt that Touma was a much more interesting character then some of the others they had introduced. I hope they show her a lot more, more then just the quick shot of her avoiding people like previous episodes.

I am curious as to how things will progress from here. They seem to have pretty much introduced all of the side characters so some things have to change slightly. It seems like the next episode will feature all of them in a dodge ball setting, which could be interesting to see. Not so much the dodge ball bit, but showing all of them interacting with each other. Previously it had just been the one side character girl interacting with the four main ones, but hopefully now that they are all introduced, the next episode and the ones that come ever later after that will be more about all of them as a group.
