| After watching this episode 4th time I still have this dumb smile on my face... Anyway, some might think that the way Banri shut down Koko is "cruel" and whatnot, but the real cruel thing is the friend zone that she was forcing on him. It is my strong belief that when there's a romantic attraction there can't be such thing as "just friends". A guy will always want more and hope that one day she will see his value and finally be his. But guess what, that day is never coming cause between a good guy friend (pet) and a d!ck boyfriend who treats her like trash she will most likely pick the boyfriend. Friend zone is a woman's cruel way of telling a man "you are not worthy to be by my side as a lover and an equal, but I want to keep you around as a pet". It's very painful to go through something like that, so if it happens to you please do yourself a favor and do exactly what my boy Banri did in this episode. |

| I thought they did a very good job with this episode. For the people that feel it is moving too fast, at the end of episode 6 they are at the end of volume 2 of the novels. That is exactly where Toradora! was at the same point, except they added two anime only episodes in as well. Most of the Toradora! novels were covered in two episodes, with a couple getting three and three anime only or short-story based episodes. As for the "she doesn't really love Banri" concept, in the light novel she said considerably more before telling him she loves him. I hope they finish the scene at the end of book 2 at the beginning of the next episode! If not it will suck! They did a good job of showing Kouko's growing affection for Banri earlier in the episode though. The look on her face when Linda was giving the shoes to Banri was clearly jealousy. She was upset that another girl was lavishing attention on Banri like that and wondered what their relationship was. Also, when Banri told her he was done waiting, she tried desperately to get him to listen to her explanation and told him she didn't want to stop being friends, but he wouldn't listen and wouldn't wait. In short, I don't think it was too rushed... :) |

But after i read your comment, things brighter a little. Thank You :) I hope, this anime gets better and better, as i can see a good prospect for this one. |
| @zensunni While I agree that the pacing in Toradora was about 2-3 episodes per volume of the LN, Toradora had the luxury of having 20 episodes before the snowstorm scene so even though some small details, events and hints about the main pair's growing affection were omitted still there was more than enough to make most of the people convinced that there really was love between them. Putting that aside, some people were perplexed by Ryuuji's decision because of the exclusion of all that thinking that he did in the LN ( basically the first half of the 9th volume). And I still think that one more episode would make the final arc explained better on the character motivation side. If those kind of hints (I already mentioned one from the manga) were included in GT - then it wouldn't be needed explaining why she confessed. |

I hope they finish the scene at the end of book 2 at the beginning of the next episode! If not it will suck! That's what I thought with the abrupt confession cliffhanger too. Could only hope they elaborate the reasons on why she likes him with the next episode, otherwise leaving it with just a 'i like you' line creates a misunderstanding to the audience that makes it look like as if she's just desperate to keep banri as a friend. D: |
| It never fails to amaze me with its somewhat predictable escalations in plot line! :D One for the Kaga x Tada team. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| The scene with the T-Shirts made me really sad, when I saw Banri cry ;_; . |
| Kouko crashing into Banri. Ouch >.< The "I love you" part was unexpected. |
 |
| I was really glad Tada told off Kouko like that. He was speaking the truth. I was waiting for him to snap like that for a while now, to be honest. I do feel though, that scene was a bit rushed... Going from Kouko being drunk to that. I think they could have transitioned that part a bit better. This episode felt a bit rushed... Since this show is going to be 24 episodes, I think they could have built up to these moments more... But anyways, as usual, the tea club is amazing. Oh yeah, and am I the only one that felt bad for Mitsuo? Haha. I really wish he had more screentime, I really like him. I am definitely more for LindaxBanri more than KoukoxBanri even though it was pretty obvious how Linda acted more like an older sister towards Banri... Unless there's something more to the both of them that we haven't seen yet. I hate to admit it, but I can see Kouko falling in love with Banri later on though. Like someone else mentioned earlier, I hope there will be a sort of alternate ending where Banri ends up with Linda, something like in the alternate universes for Clannad. I honestly did not expect Golden Time to be this good! In fact, I thought this was gonna be one of the shows I would drop this season. I haven't watched a RomCom this good in a long time... Looking forward to the next episode! Can't really see Kouko and Banri getting any better anytime soon as her confession was definitely spur of the moment. Oh, and I feel like Linda was going to say yes to Banri that day... Hm. I will definitely be reading the manga+light novel after this series is over. |

| The roller coaster this week goes up and down! The thrill is quite unexpected! Although I do want to complain about leaving out important bits like the snake bite and stuff. |

Well , to be frank , I think it keeps getting better with each episode . There is everything I expect in an anime like this , particularly in this episode : funny scenes (Oka's rejection and the scene with the Tea Club were hilarious) and especially drama scenes , in this case the scene with Linda , and the declaration at the end . I really can't wait to see how it will evolve in the next episodes and become better :D |

amc9988 said: Wait what do u mean by 6 chaps to go? Are u saying there's only 6 chap left from the light novel to be adapt to the anime? Or by 6 chap u mean 6 episode left? This is a 2 cour anime. And also, for those who read the light novel what volume is the anime at right now? there is like 7 vol + 2 side story of the novel iirc right I was specifically talking about the manga. Episode 6 ended in the manga at chapter 20 and the light novel at Volume 2 Chapter 4. The manga currently has 26 chapters out. |
| If that high school flashback was supposed to be an indication of how old Tada used to act/react, then.. TADA QUIT CRYIN ALL THE TIME BRUH |
| The one thing that has been progressing a little bit to fast is the relationship between Kaga and Tada, suggesting there is still much drama ahead of us. Main things i have been wondering about is the part with Linda it's obvious something must have happened besides the confession the thing that stood out was Tada's name missing on the shirt plus his accident. My theory from this is that the accident might not have been a accident at all and someone was deliberately out for Tada, there are some questions with this theory. First one is who was the person responsible for the names on the shirts and who was driving the scooter and where they the same person. Second question is why did they do it, if it was done deliberately there must have been some reason behind it. It just seems to me that the accident and the names on the shirts was a bit to much of a coincidence. |
| Wait, what? I'm really confused now... :( Kouko's confession looked like a spoiled act to me though (well at this point and due to the previous events). |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
destructo22 said: If that high school flashback was supposed to be an indication of how old Tada used to act/react, then.. TADA QUIT CRYIN ALL THE TIME BRUH Yeah...it made me not like Banri even more. It was also pretty confusing. The flashback seemed like a dream that Banri was having and his name was actually on the t-shirt but he forgot his name. |
| Well that was unexpected. I'm actually enjoying this anime way more than I intended to. |

Tea Club being awesome as usual. Best episode I've watched this whole fall series. Pretty much my thoughts as well. EVEN though Golden Time was already my favorite show of this season, this episode took me by complete surprise. Holy molly... I don't really know where to start, this one episode had a big enough share of drama and development to fill your average 1 course series. o_O Pure gold. |
| Aaaah that sucked. I'm hating this right now. I thought the MC was a fucking decent one but he just went full retard this episode. FULL RETARD! He getting mad at Linda for keeping their past all this time was understandable but what was that about Koko? He was fucking mad and don't wanna be friends with her anymore just because she rejected him? So what if she thinks about Mitsuo all the time? He knows that she loves Mitsuo. He got rejected and kept sticking with Koko but he just wanna end being friends with her suddenly? That's fucking unreasonable. You don't want to befriend someone who doesn't see you as a lover? Shit. Now Koko confessed to him because Koko wants him as a friend. Is it what Banri wants? In a relationship of one sided love? Just how fucking stupid is he? Oh well damn, MC is so brainless. |
| I laughed , then I got teary. Very good episode , didn't felt rushed at all imo. |
 |
| Prepare for incoming cries!! D: |
| Oh huh, I thought the sound was just my earphones acting up.. xD And yea, I felt that Kaga's confession was... very early in this series.. wait, how am I supposed to word that? o-o Poor Linda ;__; I feel so sad for her Anyhow, can't wait for the next episode >w< |

ScoutK said: Hi! im new here ^^ In the preview... kouko discover a box with porn in tada´s room? How the...lol...I didn't even notice it... I had to pause that scene 2 times. But yeah I think you are right. I can't wait for the next episode. Looks funny as hell! |
|
| Well damn. That was one hell of an episode. Thoughts about jumping off a bridge can lead to bad things. |
| This anime keeps me wanting more and more! Not sure if I should wait for it to finish ending so I can marathon it or watch it weekly... |
| Well..best episode so far o.O 10/10 The scene where Mitsuo confesses was just priceless xD |
| I can't even mentally digest this. So much happened....and it's so good to watch. |
| That was pretty sudden. Interesting to see an episode like this so early into the series. |
 |
| oooh this anime becomes complicate. I want to see more D: |
| 5/5 loving this anime Those Tea club members are funny lol. Best Episode so far and i hope Kouko's confession was real and she was not messing with poor Banri. I wonder what will happen with Banri and Linda's relationship :( Not sure if I like Banri x Kouko or Banri x Linda, still gotta wait for more episodes to decide! |

This was pretty much my mindset at the time. Banri has been frustrating to watch these past couple of episodes. At least the first half of this episode was enjoyable. |
| oho, that was an amazing episode. - Oka Chinami = Best girl XD and i'm totally shipping Mitsuo x Chinami, but i guess it'll be a tough journey for him to get her to love him back. - Banri, i had mixed feelings about his actions in this episode. But i understand why he did all those things to Kouko and Linda. - Linda. You just can't hate her. and Kouko, she was great in this episode. and she looks so adorable in the ED, that song is purrrrfect. - Golden Time is awesome |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| It's only been six episodes and wow what a ride it's already been, so much is happening. A confession from Kouko this fast was very unexpected, and it'll be interesting to see how this all develops in the next episode, especially with Linda. This is shaping up to be one of the better Fall shows. |

| damn the tea club still exist! XD really awesome room back there LOL btw,. damn banri became so cold to koko :/ is this means he remember his memory? :o wait.. I dont really understand here.. this episode is really dramatic.. DAT moment when linda crying.. DAT moment when banri's name doesn't exist DAT moment when koko tell her feelings to banri is really surprised !! I think koko doesn't really has that feeling to banri :/ |
| With Banris luck Linda will probably confess her feelings to him too. Also I think Koko is fake my reasoning being that she just said she loved him because she was afraid of being so alone again. Also Banri messed up, stop running man. BTW I'm so tired of characters spilling out there emotions then running. I wonder if that's like a real thing in real life, people just running off after spilling there hearts out. In any case can't wait for the next episode, as of now I'm still betting that he ends up with Linda somehow. |
