Okay, so after I got a comment asking how to download the songs on the music player, the thing is, you can’t. Well, for those who are willing enough, you can always get something like Audacity, ramp up the volume and record the music as it is playing, but for now, you just can’t download them. So, if you have a request for one of the songs in the player, email me and I’ll send you the link, though please don’t say something like ‘Gimme al the songs plz k thx!’ Keep it low….Anyway, here are the links to the songs which this post didn’t provide. Remember, right click then select ’save target as’ or ’save link as’ to download (if for some reason it’s not download, it might be because I’ve gone over the bandwidth limit on Fileden).

Seriously? This is the end? I could’ve sworn both AniDB and ANN said Tsuyokiss was 13 episodes… Well, this has happened before, where there’s another extra episode after the end, which sort of acts like an aftermath of the main events and usually feels more like an episode in the middle of the series rather than the last. Well, if this is the end, it was quite fitting. I wished the final scenes between Leo and Sunao were a bit more romantic, but the way those final moments were presented does fit in with the overall theme of the show. The quality was above average, but not as good as some of the other episodes. Although it started off rocky, Tsuyokiss has become one of my favourites this season. Too bad it’s over…

What an excellent episode! It was the best episode to date … and that reminds me, there’s only two more episodes to go. How sad. It’s really gotten good now. I’d say it’s probably my favourite this season. The character designs and overall quality is much better, and I hope it says that way until the end. We wouldn’t a bad ending… This ep, Sunao and Otome confessed their love for Leo to each other, and Subaru made Leo do some serious thinking. The whole episode was kind of sad, but I think that’s what I’ve been looking for in it for the whole time – romantic drama. So touching… I’ll be sad when it finishes. And what was that song that played in the background? It was very soothing and nice to listen to.

Please someone explain … is Otome Leo’s cousin or not?? It says she is in AnimeNFO, but as she’s meant to be one of the paths you can go in the game, doesn’t that mean she might actually go after Leo in the series? So confusing… Either way, I’m rooting for Sunao. And that Suguru and Kani pair seems nice, though the height difference would make Kani look like Suguru’s sister to someone who didn’t know who they are lol. This episode, Leo asks Sunao to dance with him after the festival (well, that’s what I assume, as the only words in that convo I understood were ‘dansu’ [dance] and ‘dare ga?’ ‘ore ga’ ‘dare to?’ ‘omae to’ [who?] [me] [with who?] [you..] ) eheheh. Well anyway, Sunao performs Romeo and Juliet for the festival, but stalls when she sees Otome sit down next to Leo in the audience – how typical… When the dance starts, it seems that everyone has a partner except Leo and Otome, and Sunao just leaves with a broken heart. =( Sad… Oh, and neither do Nagomi and Shinichi. Well, three episodes left. ~Hoping for an awesome ending!~

Oh no… the quality… it’s crap again. Why?! The story is getting really interesting now, so why?? Why did the quality drop so much? So much repetition was used that I couldn’t help but notice every time it happened. This was mostly used in the running scenes where the same frames are just repeated. This happens many other times as well, such as when Konoe is peeling that daikon, when she’s wriggling her body, the dream at the start etc. Too many shortcuts just ruins it. The best possible explanation for this is that the producers are saving up their budget for a grand, spectacular final four episodes! It better be…

Romantic … romantic indeed. Although the being-alone-with-someone-else-on-a-high-place-watching-fireworks-and-kissing is a bit generic – oh wait! They didn’t kiss! Damn Kani… ~Sigh~ Oh well. It was a good episode! Lots of love! I guess Sunao has finally fallen for Leo – with the second consecutive dream about kissing him and almost doing it during the festival – if she hadn’t already. Especially with that ‘Thanks for today, seeya!’ from Sunao (one of the few lines I actually understood xD) The quality standard of this series has definitely been increased, ever since episode 5. Although I don’t think this episode is as good as 5 quality-wise, the story more than makes up for it. It was also nice to see everyone in a kimono (have I said that before? Hmm … have they worn kimono’s before … forgot). Apart from that, the episode was littered with fanservice again – did anyone see that pained look Yoshimi had when she was alone with Erika in the bushes? Ooh, what was going on there? Next episode: what’s this? Who’s that living with Leo? (It’s Otome! ~ right? Isn’t she Leo’s cousin?)
