| That's it, 2D-kun is the best character on this show. And Okachin is still the best girl. oh, and props to Mitsuo for not falling to the cleavage trap. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| If you pay close attention to the scene on the veranda, which I did on the third time through, it is NOT BANRI that asks Linda what the answer was! Watch it closely, his head droops right after she says "We're looking at the same sky. That hasn't changed at all." There is an audible "uhhh" sound and Linda looks over and says "Banri?" with a question in her voice, then he asks about her answer. Also, there is a distinct difference between Banri's normal speaking voice and the voice of Banri's Ghost. The Ghost is flatter, less animated, and the voice is in a lower register. My daughter pointed out to me that it is the Ghost voice that asks about her answer, not the Banri voice. (I am not letting her watch the whole thing, as I have to screen the tea-club girls out to protect her impressionable mind, but the funny parts outside of that, or the really well done parts, I let her watch...) So, to sum up, Banri still doesn't know what Linda's answer would have been. The ghost was in control at that point, right up until he yelled that he wanted to go back and woke up. I have to wonder if Kouko heard any of that? If she did, he is likely in for a rough next episode (from the previews, he is...) anonimkun said: I can't go as far as saying Kouko is fake. She's not faking. She forbids herself to go to Mitsuo's apartment, she speaks as if Banri is the most important like that. But she cares about Mitsuo the most. I think Kouko really forced herself to love Banri. I totally disagree. She loves Banri and it is real. She cares for her childhood friend, yes, but she is in love with Banri. She is massively insecure though... |

| This series has a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. 2D and Banri were fucking hilarious in this episode. It appears there is still something going on between Banri and Linda. I'm not sure what it is and I'm not implying its romantic, but it appears Banri is struggling between his old and new selves. I'm interested in seeing how that will play out. |
| Am I the only who likes Linda more than Kouko? Really, if in the end Banri just recovers all his memories and decides to go with Linda I wouldn't even be mad, in fact, I would be delighted! PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN! |
| Las firmas estan sobrevaloradas :P |
| For those interested in a bit of spoilers the 4th (the final chapter of the 3rd book) is translated and takes place after the 8th episode. It is an interesting read. |
| Cemeteries are full of past winners. Hypocrisy is about being your own marketing department. |
| Linda is the best girl based on what exactly? not that I dislike her, I actually don't feel any like or dislike towards her or Koko but so far she barely has any personality or presence in the show. She only had like 1 or 2 meaningful conversations with Banri, the rest of her screen time constitutes of her randomly stopping by and greeting Banri and Koko and the occult episode. I kinda envy the people who are enjoying the comedy here because so far it's my main problem and beef with this anime and will probably make me drop it if the romance/drama isn't good enough for me to overlook the comedy. |

I agree comedy is a bit stiff and off in the anime - it's much better in the manga. The thing with Kouko is while to some viewers Kouko flamboyant actions are annoying, they are not to Banri. That's one of the reasons why he likes her. Here is a line from the novel that explains that: What's interesting about her is that while she is the most noisy "troublemaker" on the outside she is also the least confident and the most self doubting character on the inside. Her hostility towards Chinami is caused by her insecurities. |

| Linda is so Poor person =( i Fell Sad for her . |
  |
| I really feed sad for ghost!Banri right now. He's of in between the two worlds. To be honest, I'm really tired of the Linda/Banri relationship. Linda missed her chance... well, there's no use crying over spilled milk. Anyway, Kaga and Banri should fix whatever is going on because their relationship is a bit doubtful... anyway. And poor Yana. I'm glad he made up with Chinami, because they're a really cute couple. And maybe Nijigen-kun will get someone, too. uwu |
| i just dont like the kind of person that Linda is, i dont say i prefer so much koko because she still has feeling for mitsuo, well anyway its a romance show with comedy, it will happen things in the middle of the series, looking forward for the next episode |
| Damn this show... it's too good. I feel some similarities between me and Mitsuo this episode, though Tada's "my boyfriend" seems like something I'd do also, still awkward as all hell lol... that is about as gay as I could ever impersonate. Seriously gonna cry if Linda and Banri don't end up together, and I definitely think Linda was lying about her feelings... it just seems so clear. For right now, I think it should be Oka x 2-D, Kaga x Mitsuo, and Linda x Banri. Of course since it's by the author of Toradora, I'm sure this won't go the way I want it to. Also, for anyone who was complaining before about the ghost/supernatural thing... I think it's better to just look at it as the pieces of himself that are missing. It's not unheard of for people to have other selves with amnesia/brain damage. It's sort of like ghost limbs when people lose a limb they feel like it's still there. |
| Mixed feelings right now. Linda does still love Tada |
| I don't like the way Linda answered that question. It's not like she and Banri can start over with all that happened so far (i.e. Banri hooking up with Koko). |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| The conflict of emotions between old "ghost" Banri and the new Banri is really intriguing. |
| LOL'd at 2D! Best support character in this season. |
 |
| this is actually going to be the last good episode. |
 |
| Linda is so much better... It would be really intriguing if "ghost Banri" came back and there were MEGA conflicts and drama. |
 |
| Sure got emotional at the end. I wonder if Linda's answer was really going to be "no" or if she just said that because Tada is dating Koko now. |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| 5/5 The moment of loss seems to be a fading memory, the series sails very well, I have to admit if you began and was maintained at these levels and with a technical sector close to those of KyoAni and PA Works, one could also speak of a masterpiece! * _ * Plot that shows even more of the excellent points to strike up a believable story, narrative series and comic at the same time, the protagonists seem a gang of crazy lunatics, now we just need to join the group Linda! XD Drawings that I can not blame that, like animations! JC Staff, but what were they thinking? You see a beautiful piece to put in the BD! ^ _ ^ Rating of 5/5 for incitement! ;) |

| Yes, more 3 am alone time with Linda! I'm surprised with her answer but that's why I find her interesting. Totally want more of them together. |
| I think Linda was lying...to not hurt Banri and his relationship now |
| Loving this show! I wasn't expecting hat Kouko impersonation by Banri LMAO, but damn Mitsuo should've let the girl in, Reina-chan was it? funny episode lol! 2D-kun is a boss haha! Drakewinm said: I think Linda was lying...to not hurt Banri and his relationship now +1, and it must tough for her if it's true. If Banri regains his memories, WOW, it's going to be tough! |
 |
| Looks like my assumption of Banri getting hit my Linda's motorbike was wrong. Damn, I was so convinced though. Why did Banri fall off the bridge though? I think I've missed something here. |
| MAI BOYFRIEND |
| what the fuck things are so messed up in this anime it doesnt seem like koko really had closure with mitsuo.. she still fights with him and trys to protect him at the same time. meanwhile chinami and mitsuo cant grasp their feelings and linda clearly lied about her answer because she doesnt want to complicate things with tada but nothing haunts us like the things we dont say.. |
[right] |
| Linda seemed like she was lying. |
| When they were in the amusement park and she pulled his head and told him to look only at her i was thinking of a nice boat development. He seems to have better chemistry with Linda and to be honest i am not sure Kouko really loves him. It's not that she is on the rebound but more like she just needs someone to cling to or she doesn't know what to do with herself. Do you remember how she was saying that Mitsuo was her world and she wouldn't know how to live without him? Well it seems she needs to cling to someone to feel her life has a purpose. So she could very well be with Banri just so she will feel complete cause she can't handle being alone with herself, not because of true love. |

| Oh man, Kouko can be mercilessly tactless at times. Her and Chinami meeting at the station was rough, but now that it actually led to them to becoming friends, it's all good. And so their little circle of friends was born. It had a rough start, but it happened just as I had wished for early on. Lol at that little "bara" act between Banri and Mitsuo. At least Mitsuo knew enough to play along to save himself. Banri is definitely not a weak, passive or indecisive character, which is not too common nowadays but definitely great for MCs. Banri's ghost is there for a reason, and I think it's because one day his memories might return... Chekhov's gun at work. We won't be seeing his "ghost" if he really had no role to play later on. Mocha96 said: You're not the only one. I'm leaning towards Kouko at the moment, but I can't find myself writing off Linda yet either.Am I the only one who likes both Linda AND Kouko? Each one of them is cute on her own way. I have mixed feelings about who I should ship Banri with >.< Even though I know he is gonna end up with Kouko. |
Kurini said: I'm rooting for Banri X Kaga all the way! I just love how they are really a baka couple! Me too!! :) I just keep enjoying their baka couple acts. Dat "My boyfriend" part was freakin hilarious. XD Poor ghost Banri, I really like it whenever he appears. |

| Aw man this shit's gonna get real complicated and serious if (probably when) Banri regains his memory/ other self. Linda's a great character and I really like her too so damn, it sucks to see her stuck in the situation that she's in right now :(. Hope she'll be able to express her true feelings later on and find her own happiness w/o breaking up Kouko and the current Banri though. |
 |
| Oh Banri, doing an homosexual interpretation. That was hilarious xD It's kinda obvious that Linda have feeling for him but she cannot tell them because of Koko. It look like old Banri come back some times. Poor 2D-kun, no girls for him xD He even have to make a pact to keep his friends :P |

| The gay scene between Banri and Mitsuo made my day |
| Tada Banri for best girl. And 2D-kun is hands down one of the most awesome supporting characters I've ever seen. Such a boss, haha! However, I kinda agree with the comedy being sometimes cringeworthy, especially the ramen-choking scene between Chinami and Kaga that supposedly led them to become 'friends', that felt more awkward than anything else. I mean I know anime comedy often is kinda over the top but seriously though, if some random a**hole-ish girl almost choked me to death with fucking ramen noodles I'm not too sure I'd be willing to just laugh it off like Oka-chan did (pretty certain I'd send her to hospital, rather). Really couldn't buy that. But fortunately, comedy has really been more hit than miss those couple last episodes so I hope it either stays that way or gets better. |

| This has become increasingly more interesting....l This is by far the most unexpectedly great show of the season for me. I thought it was going to be a cute romcom with nothing more to it, boy was I wrong. |
 |
| man this anime is great |
 |
| jesus those gay scenes lmaooo |
 |
| Banri and Mitsuo both deal with things in that damn 'run away and don't talk to that person at all' way. That pisses me really off. Banri ignoring Linda in the past, Banri ignoring Linda in the present, Mitsuo ignoring Chinami.. so much rage. :@ |

Samurai_Zero said: So I guess Banri is becoming split personalities now? He shouldn't have been able to recall that he confessed to Linda otherwise, add that onto how he couldn't recall what he just said himself just a second ago. Slowly clawing his way back to life o_o this will make for an interesting self-conflict I took the meeting between his "current" & "past" self to be that he got what he mentioned in a previous episode. that being that he has his current self & memories, but now has his old memories to go along with them, (i.e. he is "whole" ). However, the pieces are not exactly fitting right & so there could still be some interesting conflicts later on. |
 |
| Linda you're just lying against yourself... but that ending was pretty intense! And it's nice to see that he made up with Chinami! Lol that gay scene xD |
 |
| Freaking hilarious episode! |

BTW, I think that her answer : 'no' was a lie (it is pretty obvious... ) . |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Lol Banri & Mitsuo as Uke & Seme Poor 2D-kun.. He's not alone, but he's alone!! :( I'm waiting for the day that old Banri will reunite with the new Banri |
