What the fuck?

Read this earlier on CR: “Well every instance of 'attractive' or 'hot' was a translation choice for the word 'kakkoii'. They are not necessarily wrong, but it may have been better to translate the word as 'cool' instead. 'Kakkoii' has strong overtones of admiration and also softer undertones of physical attraction. The word is translated as 'cool' or 'attractive' depending upon the context of the situation.”

That said, I actually loved this episode. The end is a bit trippy but I’m really loving the developments so far. I have always felt that the “we see the future” thing was a bit silly, and it wouldn’t shock me if it had more to do with mental state and perception than magic or psychic powers.

As far as Sachi and Hiro: She clearly sprung the “boyfriend” thing on him, and I love that. Why? It’s realistic. Oftentimes people just end up in relationships as opposed to purposefully choosing them. You hang out with a friend you’ve found attractive and then suddenly you’re in a relationship before you even realize it. It also speaks to how she used him. He clearly cares for her (if in a childish and immature way), yet she has shown no such indication. She lied to him about getting tests just so she could hang out with Touko (which, why? Once before she said that Touko was coming and so he sneaked out, but this time is different?). I’ve been in a similar situation before so it hurts to watch. That look on his face? UGH.

RE: Yuki, Kakeru, Yana, and Touko (plus Hina) - Yuki lost his mojo whenever Kakeru faced him down. His response? Why, none at all. He let two girls stand in for him, and regardless of how right or wrong he was in not racing, it was likely a blow to his eighteen-year-old-masculinity. His confidence has already been an issue as seen in his race. Regarding his staring at Hina...she just chased him down on a bike to tell him to stay cool...are you seriously suggesting you wouldn’t stare down someone that did that???

I think Hina did it because she thinks that her sister likes him, because nothing seems to say that she has feelings for him. If anything, she is clearly concerned with her sister’s wellbeing. Yana appears to be lashing out because Yuki isn’t being the man she wants him to be, and she’s likely hurt hasn’t done anything about her confession.

Touko is...Touko. I think the notion that she is seeing people’s feelings/hearts is fairly reasonable, I’m not 100%, though. Yuki told Yana that he would figure something out in a previous episode, so I’m assuming that he has been thinking and contemplating what his next step will be, but a guy taking time to process his emotions isn’t exactly cool, now is it?

Seems that Kakeru hasn’t really done much wrong, the race instance aside. He doesn’t deserve the hatred of the characters, but it is understandable. When things shift and change we, as a species, do not like it. It makes us uncomfortable and disoriented, and as a result we often lash out at whatever appears to be causing our problems as opposed to handling the problem we actually have.

Lastly, the two imaginary Kakeru’s. It’s not the slightest bit weird to me. Hasn’t Kakeru seemed a bit “off” since he first stepped onto the scene? I’ve also found his relationship with his parents to be outside the realm of healthy. Also, I really do think these “sparkles” have something to do with their mental states.

To say the least, I’m excited to see where this goes, and doubly thrilled annoying manga fans aren’t able to whine like in Tokyo Ghoul.

The translation is so weird on this episode.
I think cool would sound better than attractive, but whatever.
Sachi is the worst. I think what Kakeru able to hear and what Touko sees are what in people's mind. Kakeru "falling" because he doesn't know the answer to Touko question. And Yanagi just hate Kakeru and Touko as a couple.

I can't believe someone is actually discussing something about this episode that made no sense.

I have to say I'm liking this show so far despite all the negative response it's getting from the majority of people.Some people might say that it's the weakest P.A works show and I don't necessarily disagree with them but It's something that I look forward to watch every week .

I liked the conversation that Yana had with Touko at the beginning of the episode,the mood between the two felt very relaxing .

Touko getting a vision about David's falling of a cliff is a bit creepy but the one at the end of the episode takes the Cake ,I wonder what's up with that ?

And Sachi over did it this episode ,I expected something from her last episode but not this much,She made a huge mistake and hurt a lot of people in the process due to jealousy.

Poor Hiro ,he had every right to be mad. I know I would if that happened to me But you can see Sachi crying over what she did to Hiro when he left her by herself.

Nothing much to say to a bout Yuki.
