2009 Moment of Anime 8: To Hug Or To Be Hugged

抱きしめたい、いや、抱かれたい！

At which point I realized that Hitagi is, actually, not Suruga's type at all. Even so, it was great to see that she knows what she wants and can articulate it clearly; it's said that one of the characteristics of an expert is the ability to make fine distinctions - like the one above.

I still haven't figured out why "want to hug" is conjugated as dakishimetai rather than just dakitai though.

何だあの子、滅茶苦茶可愛いかったな

And speaking of learning language - bitter tea I've tasted before but annihilation tea? Even if I wasn't willfully reading that wonderful expression literally, "cute in a messy, all over the place kinda of way" to express how Suruga's lust for Shinobu was also amusing in a disturbing sort of way.

Another one for the project.
