I can understand why people might be upset that Kotoura forgave Moritani so easily. I think it makes sense. Kotoura blamed herself more for Manabe getting hurt than she blamed anyone else. Plus here is a girl who is used to be treated poorly.. She expects it. Having someone ask her for forgiveness was a new experience and meant a lot to her.

This was such a weird episode to watch with the Hentai Ojiisan and the sudden sympathy between Moritani and Kotoura... I didn't take this show too serious to start with but I found this really weird hahaha. But oh well, I loved the scene with Manabe and the gramps interacting, that was so funny. I hope Kotoura confesses to Manabe fast, I really like the comedy but more serious romance would be great.

I'm a little bit mad after that episode.. This last scene with Manabe and Kotoura was getting romantic, and... There she is.. Moritani just destroyed it in best part. How can they just forgive Moritani so easily? Manabe was hospitalized, and they just forgive her like it was nothing.

Anyway, it was good episode. I laughed many times and there were some parts that touched me..

A lot of drama so far in this show. I've seen someone cry in every episode so far. The pacing is also quite fast, but that's inevitable I think, because this show only has 12 episodes. I wonder what content the remaining episodes have. I know that we can expect some episodes about the president Yuriko and her background story, but I have no idea what other content this show will have.

I also don't get why Kotoura forgave Moritani so fast. I understand that Moritani feels really sorry about her actions of jealousness, but she went a little too far by getting Manabe hospitalized. For the aura of the show it is better though that Kotoura forgave Moritani.

Btw horny grandpa creeped me out a little... o.0

I like this show so far, but I hope that we'll see more romance in the upcoming episodes. The comedy is great, but the main reason I watch this show is for the romance. So far this is the only decent romance show this season imo.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Kotoura is better than us because she CAN READ MINDS. I mean, that just puts her a step above everyone else in my opinion.

Well the Moritani thing wrapped up rather predictably and a bit too conveniently for my tastes. But, I'm not terribly surprised it ended up that way since they wanted to move the rival character out of the "horrible bitch" category she was in and they only have 12 episodes to work with.

I did like Manabe's reactions to Moritani and her apology though. He was very believably pissed and disgusted with her - and also very surprised when she and Kotoura started to become friendly.

This was way to cliché imo, she leaves for no real reason and is back 1 episode later. Where is the buildup? Where is the development? This feels way, way too forced. Comedy is nice though.

A cute episode, maybe even too cute given the previous one's ending. On the other hand, the ESP club didn't treat Kotoura's departure as something special and simply acted instead of grieving over it.

I would have preferred for Kotoura to get mad at Moritanni but considering all the shit she went through, I guess having someone actually apologizing is a surprise on its own. No wonder she accepted her.

Besides Kotoura can read minds so she knows ho sincere Moritanni is. For us those are just cheap tears, but for Kotoura who can read behind them they are something bigger.

This is so dumb. I already hate it when anime force sympathy for shitty tsunderes down our throats, trying to make us think these selfish, often violent people are good and deserving of romance over everyone else. But this takes it to another level completely. Moritani ruthlessly took advantage of a situation (the public fortune telling/her mind reading) to completely break Kotoura emotionally without anyone even knowing, then rubbed salt in the wounds with the puking shit. She gets called out on it, then proceeds to send a bunch of martial artists to beat up the guy she "likes". This is outright villain level bullshit.

I was pleasantly surprised by how Manabe reacted to her "apology", with absolute disgust like any rational person would. I mean even if she apologized sincerely he was under no moral obligation to accept all things considered, but she still acted like an entitled little shit towards him even after all that. Anyways that was nice at least because these MC's are usually the first to forgive shitty tsunderes in anime. But despite that the anime manages to fuck things up anyway, having the nerve to treat him as the villain (he said as much himself), before going on to forgive Moritani. Absolutely disgusting. I don't mind asshole characters, but they need to have their place. Moritani's place in this anime is the villain and subject of everyone's loathing, not a friend and certainly not a love interest. I guess I can take solace in the fact the latter won't realistically happen at least.

The fact that the grandpa is coercing his own granddaughter to sit on his lap and then starts fantasizing about how attractive he finds her and THEN later brags about touching her butt is being staunchly defended on this forum is honestly just disturbing. No, the "he's just seeing how she reacts" line of thinking doesn't really fly, because who DOES that to a kid, especially one who he's raised since she was little? You do not sexually test your children, EVERRRRR.

According to some of you, because I don't think incest and molestation of a child you have guardianship over that humorous, there's something wrong with me. Nah, there's really not.

I liked the grandpa to begin with too, and I'm pretty sure this just ruined the entire show for me.

Ok it's like one thing to acknowledge your grandchild is sexually attractive, it's another thing to feel her ass and think about touching her body. Sexual assault =/= honesty.

Besides, we haven't even seen enough of grandpa at this point to have his flaws overshadowed by his "goodness." So far his presence is implied in flashbacks. I mean a lot of seemingly good people do really horrible stuff, but it's condoned because "they aren't really bad, just flawed." No. Doing bad things despite being likable doesn't make those actions ok, much less admirable. -100/10

Same I stopped watching because of him, tbh. I didn't want to watch a lighthearted series with predatory grandparents seen as just a quirky norm. Put that shit in a dif genre it was so ill fitting...

bugged me that they just forgived moritani for what she said. Even if it's anime if someone said to me what moritani said to kotoura it would take a hell of a lot of time for me to even think about forgiving them. Even more so if you ask people to beat up the boy you liked.. thats some twisted personality shit right there.
