Barion-Zara said: I'm actually starting to ship MitsuoxLinda. Their interactions this ep were so fun. Lol'd so much at Mitsuo getting in the mood XD Linda deserves better than Banri [still gotta feel bad for Ghost Banri though XD] Me too. Judging from this episode and next weeks preview I can Mitsuo x Linda happening. Mitsuo seems interested in Linda now. |
 |
| Bandi and Koko have a really strong relationship and I really like that. Bandi is going to have to beat the old Bandi's ass inside of heads to silence him or something old Bandi is annoying with his outbursts. Great episode!!! |

iinbloom said: Of course Koko had to go and ruin the mood between Linda and Banri. Seriously I don't understand people who want Banri to be with Koko, Koko's being really selfish not wanting him to remember his past. It's not fair. Our past also shapes who we are. And Banri isn't himself without his memories. The end just pissed me off, I mean if this anime ends and Linda and Banri are not together it'll just be stupid. i agree with you. i'm not pissed off at the ending, but that's cos i'm not sure if i'm rooting for linda either, haha. but yeah i got so mad when kouko told banri to not remember his past anymore like are you kidding me? ugh. |
| I understand Kouko could be worried... but Banri said he will stay at home, even if this wasn't true, but she thought he will stay, so what could happen? He isn't some 60 year old guy who have problems with heart, so if he don't pick on phone must means something happen with him. I think she just overreacting, she want have full controle on Banri's life. Don't go there, don't work, don't go to school, don't go see meet Linda, don't meet other friends... Just stay with me for 24h per 7 days in week. Even if she is just "anime character" is just annoying. Outside appearance, she have nothing which could make more people coule like her or at lass tolerate? -.- I can't identify her, I don't have feelings like "I want be like her!" or "She is such cool character!" Really, why Kouko isn't some supporting character? How much amazing this anime was if she wasn't MC? -.- |

Laciie said: Wow, the thing with Kouko really hit me hard. I actually cried. Ahhh god. I've been rooting for Kouko all this time, but I didn't really mind if Linda ended up with him either. But now I'm just cheering for the two of them a lot more. I really appreciate Kouko's efforts though, to be that ideal 'good girlfriend'. She really did try her best to not be too... clingy, I suppose? It hurt that Kouko was so worried about him all that time and that he was actually doing that secret part time job (despite it being for Kouko's sake only). Wow, especially with all her insecurities, that must have hit her so hard. She even apologized for hitting him. Anyways, I really liked this episode. I still think that Banri and Linda should have resolved their feelings, and maybe they will eventually, since I am not sure if past!Banri's 'ghost' is going to keep quiet after this. LittleStar said: 63 messages?! She looked him everywhere?! Sorry, but for me this is just sick! I'm trying, but I fail to see why this is sick, considering that she was merely worried about him. so after a few hours someone calls the police that you may be missing, searches everywhere etc... honestly, when she said what should I do I just wanted to say get your own damn independence. she should stop acting as a 5 year old would. |
 |
| This episode po'd me so much I hope no one wins at the end! Banri deserved getting slapped and so does Linda. She can't fool me, deny it all you want, but the more you do the more obvious It becomes. I feel for Mitsuo, he's the most deserving out of everyone. Hell, out of everyone, Nana (not Linda) is the only one that has a clue of what's going on. |
| I fail to understand how could someone want to date Kouko, she's fucking nuts. I was expecting them to break up but oh well... A girl can dream. I might drop this, it's pretty much 100% obvious that Kouko and Banri will end up together and she won't change at all. They're trying to romanticize the "stalker" girlfriend behaviour and I find it annoying, at first I thought they were going to put the route where she changes for good, but it's not happening. Even if she shays "I'm trying to be a good girlfriend" I can't see it. Sent with Mal Updater |
| Damn, what an episode. Koko came at the wrong time when she saw Linda and Banri. Banri and Kokos relationship really grew strong though, really does seem like they'll be together though out the show now. I was really hoping for Banri and Linda, but the final scenes really ended that possibility. They both decided to throw away there past really put the nail in the coffin. Great episode, can't wait for next Thursdays! |
| Linda x Mitsuo anyone? Oh and Mitsuo x Nana |

| My girlfriend would kill me if she found me in a situation like that... |
| some stuff that was interesting in this episode: 1.) 7:38, banri x linda glow stick kissing; how did koko find out banri was there? maybe koko used google maps...& seeing koko throw water in his face with the slap...it's about time they cranked up the tension. 2.) 10:37, 63 messages from koko to banri; i'm personally not a fan of koko at all cuz she's a spoiled brat & stalker freak. if she would've showed like 70% of her nice side first, i could've accepted the brat/stalker koko. but seeing those 63 messages meant that she was really worried about banri. i give her some points for that. 3.) 14:07, banri x koko argument; banri was being very honest to koko, even saying that he has started to remember his feelings for linda. I was pretty sure it was over for banri x koko. but i was surprised that koko actually forgave him. that takes a lot of guts cuz he might end up hurting her again. She's very determined to be a good girlfriend. i don't like koko but she earns my respect. 4.) 18:57, banri x linda discussion; both banri and linda were being extremely honest here. it gave me the chills and listening to the saxophone & background music just put me in a surreal trance. 5.) 20:17, the look on linda's face just pains me. what banri suggests makes sense. if he keeps seeing linda, he might get his memories back and realize his feelings for linda. i hate banri for making her feel that way and for saying that they should completely forgetting about each other. he could've just said he's busy with koko if linda ever tries to invite him to do stuff. she could take the hint at that point. dam it banri, wtf r u doing. linda is someone who's hard to find in this world. if banri really loses her, he just fails her and himself. ------------------------- well, all in all, pretty good episode. lot of tension and drama. i'm not real fans of banri and koko. i'm more interested in seeing them fail. i'm a huge fan of linda because she's easy-going and laidback. if linda really wants banri at her side, then i just have to accept it as it is. |

| I think Banri will end up with Linda eventually. Kouko's been abusive from the start, but he's too inexperienced to see how unhealthy a relationship he has with her. |
| That was such an episode. Full of confessing each other's feelings. Intense. I am really glad he solved the issue with Koko... but he broke ties with Linda as a consequence instead. Now to wait for Linda to make a move. |

| yeah i'm pretty salty after watching this.. |
 |
| Wow. First I thought Koko would leave him but then I realized her struggle - she loves him so much she simply cannot do that. Shame on Tada for telling her he loves Linda though, sometimes honesty can be too painful. And that night at his apartment almost screamed "Sleep with each other!" Tada ditching Linda completely was a shock. But I believe their separation won't be long enough. |
| How the hell does KoKo find him sooo fast at a private party? Must be a small town... KoKo is willing to fight, Linda still playing games. Linda gives up all the time, not worth investing in her personal drama. |
 |
Vooo said: How the hell does KoKo find him sooo fast at a private party? Must be a small town. Let's presume she called Chinami or Nana or 2D-kun or someone else would have known, with all three out of their flats in the evening I think it's safe for her to presume they are somewhere together. (at least for Koko with her jealous thinking) |
| I don't like Kouko at all. Not at all. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Mitsuo was sure having a lot of fun on stage. That slap by Kouko was pretty good. Banri and Kouko had a nice long chat. It was good to get everything out in the open. |

| So I guess this problem is finally over... or Banri's "past" says otherwise... Marenwynn said: I think Banri will end up with Linda eventually. Kouko's been abusive from the start, but he's too inexperienced to see how unhealthy a relationship he has with her. This series is 2-cour so expect character and especially relationship development between Kokou and Banri. |

| I lol'd at people who say that with this episode they started to hate Kouko even more. Banri fucking deserved the slap. iinbloom said: Of course Koko had to go and ruin the mood between Linda and Banri. Seriously I don't understand people who want Banri to be with Koko, Koko's being really selfish not wanting him to remember his past. It's not fair. Our past also shapes who we are. And Banri isn't himself without his memories. The end just pissed me off, I mean if this anime ends and Linda and Banri are not together it'll just be stupid. Sure bro, Koko is selfish? To think that she even tried to not be too possessive and waited for Banri to telling her about the old photo. Koko is a kid. That's why her love is a childish love. To her Banri is her purpose of living, of course she wants him to forget the past. And I'm not saying he should not remember his past but, you just can't blame her. In a nutshell: Banri needs to overcome his past and should stop to see Linda and Kouko, until his feelings are clear. |

| Just imagine me punching a wall as you read this. Banri.... THAT! IS! THE! WORST! THING! YOU! COULD! POSSIBLY! TELL! A GIRL! But otherwise, I liked it. :P |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| koko such a good girl. linda too though. must be hard for them both. one of them has to worry about their boyfriend running off with the other girl and the other girl has to hide her feelings. dis show.. KOKO BANRI KOKO BANRI. LOL |
    |
| episode was a sad one :( last week's was too funny so I figured it was bound to happen I know banri trying to cut ties with his past will only work for so long. doesn't seem realistic. this will get interesting. I know koko is psychotic but I still am for banri x koko... I have hope she will get better?! |
CherryDice said: it's not a random club.. it's the same club where they saw Nana-senpai perform back then.. the anime clearly showed that Kouko also found out that Nana-senpai may also be not at home.. it's not far off for Kouko to think to just try that same place when she has no more leads since she did try to go to every place she could think of already, based on the text messages..Yeah! I was just like "NO. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S ANIME, YOU DON'T WANDER INTO A RANDOM CLUB LOOKING FOR YOUR BOYFRIEND, IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT." anyway, i think that all the Banri x Linda shippers are the kind of people who tend to push relationships of other people around them to break up.. it is because of a person's internal tendencies and the push of other people's preferences or the situations that are being presented to them that lead to his relationship's breakup.. i'm just glad that Banri knows who he really loves and acts to protect the relationship he has formed.. but meh.. reaching its halfway point, Golden Time is really just your typical romance comedy/drama that you can find anywhere.. heck, it resembles live action shows more than the genre tendencies of anime.. it's not bad though and has certain scenarios that let me ponder when it comes to relationships.. |
| I have this feeling that Linda was lying about her love for Banri, which upsets me the most because I feel like Linda will admit it eventually. Koko x Banri are cute though |
| Wow what an intense episode! I'm still with Linda x Banri but Banri definitely deserved that slap. In the real world, Linda would most likely escape unscathed as well. I'm entertained and I think it's been a good ride but to be honest, I'm getting tired of this show. Am I the only one? We're only halfway into the season but it's like I already know there's going to be another big fight coming. Linda will eventually snap and be honest which would cause some kind of internal conflict with Banri. Another big fight. They make up. Linda would probably hook up with that bastard Mitsuo (seriously I don't like him). Banri will end up with Koko. The end. I want to keep watching but why am I losing interest? Someone help me T____T |

| This was a hilarious episode. The vicky mendosa diagonal describes Koko all too well. And Banri is an asshole xD |

Someone help me T____T It's just another run of the mill romance anime with slight variations that gives it the illusion that it's unique...well to some folk. I'm kinda watching it for mindless entertainment lol |
| Kaga crazy 63 messages in such a short amout of time |
 |
| "63 messages?!? OMG Kouko is freakin' crazy!"... well, she is a little crazy, but her haters are going overboard here. Try to imagine what she's thinking. Her significant other was sick, and injured, enough to go to the hospital for treatment a week(?) ago (is that the right timing?). She gets a little worried and decides to check on him at his apartment, but he's not there. Well, maybe he went to Yana's place, but nope, not there. maybe they went to campus; nope not there. Every place she checks she gets more and more worried, because he won't(or maybe she thinks he can't) answer his phone. She gets stuck in an escalating loop of worry that's being exacerbated by her inability to contact him. It's only a matter of time before she starts to think, "maybe he had a relapse and got sick again," or "maybe he got in an accident." it's the same way mothers worry about their kids being "dead in a ditch somewhere" when they're out of contact for too long. Yes she's clingy, and yes she's needy, but Kouko's trying to improve herself for his sake, and besides, love is a completely irrational emotion anyway. |

| The thing here is that SHE WASN'T thinking "Oh maybe he's injured", she was sure he was cheating on her, and she acted based on that. She messaged him 63 times because she was thinking "I'm sure he's with Linda", and she even thought he was with Nana. I'm sorry but it's not the same, she's crazy. |
Laurine_Andersen said: The thing here is that SHE WASN'T thinking "Oh maybe he's injured", she was sure he was cheating on her, and she acted based on that. Wow are you a mind reader and then we are now jumping straight right off the bat? Did you even read the texts messages or at least understand her personality first? |
