| Quite cute how that thumb and forefinger touch while they are lying on the grass sends Touko into full retreat with a fire-engine red blush. I'm worried that Sacchan may have just raised a death flag with that "There's some place I want to go with you after I get out of the hospital." Hiro's sister got it right on the Camus, though, The Myth of Sysiphus isn't even one of his more approachable novels, so Hiro trying to find his way through it is quite a challenge. Should we take this as a hint about the underlying message? Are all SOL really just a restatement of the existential position that life is both absurd and meaningless? Or am I taking my Chinese cartoons too seriously... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| And thus, I decided to drop this show... I feel that it's going too slow yet too fast at certain actions if you get what I mean. All the episodes up till now has been bland and kind of awkward atmosphere. I was hoping it would get better, but it doesn't look like it will until it's the last episodes, or not at all. Yanagi's confession seemed so emotionless that it was bothering me. Good thing for her that she was able to confess, but the way she did it didn't give me any feelings wanting to support her whatsoever at that time. and she kinda was my favorite character in this show so far as well. it was kinda whatevers about the part that she put the words in his mouth for him, but at least show some emotions, dammit! Hiro and Sacchan moments are very boring. Cute of him to take the initiative to spend more time with her and try to build up to confess to her or try letting her build up some more feelings than just a friend for him, although i have a feeling that situation won't happen unless something greater happens in this show. Friend-zoned... sweet scene between Touko and Kakeru. I wish I could have been getting that kind of scenery view in a forest too. But aside from that, it a lot of scenes feel repeated, characters don't develope much even though they seem to take the bigger actions more quickly than other series does, which can be a good thing at some points, but i think the studios went with it too early, not enough time for us to get to know the characters properly. To say it like this, so far these episodes have been boring and i doubt i'll give it any more chances. I'd rather rewatch Nagi no Asukara and feel more satisfied, than i've been feeling now. And that tells something, since I don't like rewatching series shortly after completing them. |
| I say we make Hiro the protagonist of the show now. His relationship is the only one I actually care about at this point. Also, his sister is funny. |
| And there I am again questioning myself why I am watching this failed slice-of-life romance would-be mystery show. Slice-of-life: check. But it's more like slow-life than anything else. Yes, there are some things happening and there are some big premonitions in the air (Sacchi serious illness probability, Momo careless driving leading to car accident or Yukinari's end of tracking career) but those are largely unused. There is simply no drama and episode pacing is horrible. Romance: maybe. we know who loves who but there is hardly any progress. Almost all characters are portraited without inner conflict and interesting situations are resolvedpeacefully without real emotions. Even after today's bookreading, confession and trip to the woods, everything went back to zero point. Mystery: definitely not. This being 13 part anime and those vague mentions of something extraordinary points to something almost nonexistent and are exceptionally useless to this show. In fact, cutting whole this element out and adding more real-life glass making would be very beneficial to this show. Production: terrible. yeah, this time, there were some nice scenes that had some mood to it and I like those. But at the same time this episode was full of needless boring slide-shows, overused stopped scenes and badly animated super-deformed characters. And it gave me no real cliffhanger or at least a reason to watch this even further. tl;rd: 5 eps in and I still don't know who are those characters, what are they trying to achieve and where they are heading. Borderline: Yes, I will watch this even further but with every upcoming ep I am losing faith that anything good will come of this show. Creators simply can't drag this bordom and delay one defining moment for twelve or so episodes only to hope we grew to like it after "something mysterious happens". One twist episode in the end siimply doesn't save this anime if the road to get there is boring as hell. |

| I find the main characters quite boring. |
 » Escapism. |
| My god the animation of the sprinters was terrible. Looks like the kind of shit I could cobble together in pivot. How much longer will the art work keep me watching this steaming pile of shit. |
| I really don't know why did Yana tell David about confessing to Yuki... Right now it just doesn't make any sense to me... Her confession was epic, though! So cool :D |
 |
| I'm glad to see that my ship is taking flight...Kakeru and Touko are so cute The whole confession thing though...That was pretty odd...I wonder where things will go from here =/ And Sacchi is just way too kawaii lol |
| Yanagi's character changed way too quickly |
| zzzz |
 |
| Drama is falling off for me. I'm starting to care less about the characters for some reason. Davide-kun is the only thing keeping me going; his mystery is still intriguing. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Takayama is best |
 |
| so those guys need a release huh? lol the pacing is slow as usual |
 |
| no Jonathan or Roger I'm a Little disappointed but pretty good episode |
 |
| God damn they make a cute couple. |
| Felt like 5 mins,nothing happened again. |
| It's so slow. One may argue it's good for development but I feel like nothing's happening. It's just not clicking. Hopefully next episode will provide some kind of conflict to get things rolling. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| maybe i got weird taste, but I'm enjoying this show alot more than I think I should be. it's prob all the way up there with barakamon competing for season's favorite. That being said, it's hard to picture developing any of its plot in-depth with 12 episodes, if this were a 24-episode series or longer I feel that it would have much more potential. |
| *insert subjectively witty comment* |
| Does anyone else think they drew Yanagi with bigger breasts this episode? Perhaps I'm imagining it, but it stood out to me right away and I thought maybe they were going for some fanservice. rodac said: Quite cute how that thumb and forefinger touch while they are lying on the grass sends Touko into full retreat with a fire-engine red blush.

| Fairly uninteresting dialogue. Not much is happening |
 |
| This has become painful to watch. I kept having to back it up because I was drifting off in boredom. We're approaching the half-way point and essentially nothing has happened. At that, I could care less about what little has happened because every character is one-dimensional. The art is literally the only thing separating this from a 1/10 for me. How this could be produced and directed by the same two guys that produced/directed True Tears, a personal favorite of mine in the romance genre, is beyond me. I didn't even realize it was the same people until after the last episode, and I certainly wouldn't have guessed it given the difference in quality. Does anyone mind telling me if something happens that somehow instantly makes the show worth watching? I honestly can't picture it, but if something big happens in the next episode, I might try it. Other than that, I think this will drop here for me. |
| Still not much happening, I'm not even sure why I haven't dropped this yet. |
| I know it's a different director, but PA Works must like trains and confession seasons to symbolize moving forward :) TripleSRank said: Does anyone mind telling me if something happens that somehow instantly makes the show worth watching?

It's okay SSS, I will tell you if anything interesting happens. I doubt it though. But I'll just keep watching for the slight chance that it'll get better. Anyways, Yanagi's confession was actually pretty refreshing to watch. She was fully resolved to confess to Yukinari, and at the same time, she was trying to shield herself from further pain by already telling Yukinari that she knows his answer. At least she's the only one doing anything in this series, except for maybe Hiro who's trying hard. |
| That was probably one of the best confessions I've seen in an anime. She knew the answer, but she wanted to put it out there so that she could move on from it, and not have regrets. It was a very commendable move. Still don't know if Sacchan is a lesbian or not, but I'm thinking she definitely leans that way. Especially since she hinted that she wants to take Touko on a date. Say what you will about this series, but its gorgeous, and that scene of them laying on the grass really shows that off! |
| Well she was sure straight forward with that confession. |
| the romance is in the air, it looks like Touko realized she's in love also, but Kakeru seems a little lost, I think I know what she wanted to tell him, but it was hilarious to see her talking on the phone with his father Kakeru , see the old man 'flirting' to Touko was also pretty funny now the declaration of love of Yanagi was amazing, seemed more than she was giving an off in the guy, Yukinari got no chance to reply, he will not catch .. next episode looks like it intrigues will begin, the title was suggestive, I think something will happen between Yukinari and Kakeru .. |

| Still don't know how I feel about this anime. The pacing is really slow, and the main just running away from the dude because their hands were sort of touching.. Who does that? Don't know why people are comparing this to Nagi No Asukara. That anime was a master piece. A 10/10. This anime is not even 1% comparable. Hopefully next episode is better. |

| v enjoyable |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| this episode was better(?) compared to the previous ones i guess. There was somewhat an actual character development, even though just very slightly. other than HiroxSachi, the pairings can still go either way from the looks of it. |
 |
| What the hell is this show anymore? Yana and Yuki, fighting! |
に触 祟ら りぬ な神 し |
| Yanagi was so straightforward about that confession. Though I still doubt that she gave up on Yukinari. That scene where Kakeru and Touko layed at the grass was nice. |
| Another episode where nothing happened. Seriously can't stand Touko. I'm only still watching this for the animation style and as filler.. |
| Eeeeeehhh!!? I really expected that they'd make a big fuzz over that misunderstanding... Eeeeeehhh!!? yep that eeeeehh!!? is apparently Touko's favorite one-liner |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Looks like Touko is beginning to realize that she has feelings for Kakeru. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| If it wasn't for Yanagi's attitude toward those track boys, this episode would have been terribly boring. |
 |
| More coherent than the last couple of episodes I suppose but that doesn't mean much, will continue to watch in hopes that it will improve in the latter half of the series. Also did Yanagi really stand on the bridge for an entire afternoon waiting for Yuki to pass by on his run?! |
 |
| "Tomodachi PUNCH!" that never fails to cheer things up xD This anime is being pretty good, people were all thinking that it'd be crap but it's not that bad, I like it very much =D I guess that's because I am a sucker for romance :3 Another good episode *-* |
