It's funny. Guys keep saying they hate this show but they keep come back every damn time. Some even say they will give this show another chance, oh boy, it doesnt ask for any chance from them. If they hate it that much, just get lost. They can give it 1/10, nobody actually care, lol.

But that's the thing though, you don't have to like it to keep watching it. There are those who continue to watch it because there is enough merit to its enjoyment, there are those who have a sense of completionism and want to see it to the end, and there are even people who will watch it for the sole purpose of discussing it on the forum. Whatever their intentions may be, there will always be a reason for someone to keep watching it even if they do not like it. I would like the idea that people are watching this because they enjoy it, but such an ideal world does not reflect reality and even I do not follow this idea.


Lol, I think those kinds of people are massocist to continually spend half an hour each week doing something they know they'll hate. I'm probably too old and busy to bother doing that anymore.

Well let just say they kind of tsundere XD

LOL Muroto's voice is way off for his appearance. He remind me of Keima from TWGOK but shorter, bonus for same seiyuu.

Did Yuriko's mother looks kind of similar with Kotoura's mother?

Way to go Manabe but I think that his honest personality will bite him somehow after this.

This show definitely in my watch list now. :3

Goddamn, for a second I thought this was going to end up like School Days being a romance anime and then BOOM psychological pops up at you.
I don't have that much background knowledge on the manga so I don't know much about this!
But this episode had the balance of darkness and comedy which I personally think was completely done perfectly.
One of my favorites this season.

The way this show goes from light-hearted comedy straight into hearth-crunching drama in a matter of split-seconds is what makes me come back for more. When that one mental image from Yuriko's mother flashed on the screen I had to do a double take and go back and watch it again, I didn't believe what I saw for a second. I was a bit afraid that they were going to focus on just the comedy from the 2nd episode but I'm glad I was proven wrong. This is far more interesting.

Just awesome!! This season's favorite show for me, that's sure^^

I don't get the negative comments here...

I actually feared that after showing a great first half in the first ep, it would just turn into a 08/15-rom-com. But it didn't.
It's funny, but it still got dark moments. And the side characters apparently have more to them than just being the funny senpai - like in 9000 other comedy shows. This one just got more depth to it.
And forced drama? Ok, maybe a bit, like with the cat (talking about ep1 now). But for the most part, I think it's not that far from reality. A child like that would be hated by others. I could also imagine her commiting suicide. So I don't think the drama was forced, but rather a logical conclusion of having such a power in society.

Love this ep, and hope the following eps will maintain this combination of fun and emotions.
Looking forward to next eps! :-)

A rom-com with a dark background is really uncommon for anime nowadays, or at least to me. Props to the studio for trying something new even though with little budget. I wonder how this will sell, given that 'dark' anime tends to sell way less than its opposite, then again the show manages to be one of the most talked this season and it really isn't all that 'dark'...

That aside, there are some flaws in this episode to me, but its mostly about technical stuff that no one really cares. As long as this show stays sensible and continues to be interesting, I doubt anything this season could top this for me. 5/5 for an interesting and solid episode.

So far it's a decent show, but for me the characters are all backwards, now Kotoura it's all sad for her and stuff, but the other girl (name escapes me atm) it's so sad for her, she likes the guy, Kotoura suddenly comes along and he forgets all about her, and she's got a point, I dunno if Kotoura can control her powers, but it is pretty brutal to read peoples minds, and even if you cannot control you don't have to share publicly what you know.

And my god, don't get me started on main guy character, what a horrible person, that guy is not likable in any way.

"the other girl" was friendzoned long before kotoura entered the picture.
Also, Kotoura cannot control her powers. She hears what people think (and sees what they imagine, it seems) Imagine you couldn't cover your ears or close your eyes, and suddenly everyone says and shows what they think. That's Kotoura's position.

As for saying it out loud what other people think... when she was young, she couldn't tell between thoughts and words because she heard them both just the same. So she was basically confused by them telling two different things.

Now, she uses the power to keep people at distance (when she was approached by the two girls in her class). When she was "fortune-telling", she handled things pretty good, until bitchybitch came around and mindraped her... again.

As for the male lead... sorry, he's a'ight in my books. I mean, he's just as pervy as many other male leads, but the way he protected Kotoura and told the other girl off basically doubled his manlyness.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Well, I do know forced as in rape that you find in hentai, I hadn't considered that possibility though because... well, it has no relevance.

There are two ways to interpret this:

1) There is no rape drama.
or
2) There is no drama that is so melodramatic that it feels forced.

To me, the latter interpretation makes so much more sense that I didn't even consider the possibility of another interpretation.

The moment Muroto show up I already think, this guy will sound the same as Keima. Highlight of the second episode is definitely Manabe defending Kotoura, it's rare to see a decisive MC like him

Perverted, yet decisive and blunt. It really is rare to see a MC like him, that's why I love this show even more because of that + 1
