Venats said: hyperknees91 said: Hmm you really do make quite a good point there Venats. I possibly didn't notice it because I was used to the VN and it's hard not to remember facts from it as opposed to just taking what the anime gives you. The anime is pretty clear cut (surprisingly) on its characterization. Part of it sometimes feels a bit heavy handed, particularly in Setsuna's case with all the ~hidden eyes, I know the truth~ presentations. She's always been the "meddler" but the anime pushes that much harder than the VN did while also really slapping on the chemistry between Kazusa and Haruki. (I mean, we had an episode and a half exploring things so one-sidedly, which you never got for Setsuna.) Not to say she's placed in "the wrong" or "the villain" roles, she's just not presented as "the girl", more "the plot device". Which, again, really strikes me as odd unless they do some really off-the-cuff stuff next episode. Yeah I'm not a big fan of the directing quite honestly. I hated the fact they spent so much time on Kazusa's flashbacks. Excuse me this is suppose to be a love triangle. A love triangle isn't very compelling if the victor is clear. I guess that's one thing I have to give True Tears over WA2. |

| If more anime based on visual novel romance dating sim type games had characters like Kazusa Touma as options I'd probably watch and enjoy a lot more of them. I mean how do you deny a girl that plays the piano, is rocking an almost hime cut and has that voice and personality? So dignified, so......home girl. |

No I mean based on how strongly biased the anime is, when you throw in the VN it gets weird. There's plenty of hints to make me agree with you on where this is ultimately going though, it just feels like you could well have ended the show this or next episode with an anime original ending given how completely one-sided the presentation has been. Even though it won't happen, the story would be better if it just ended here. |

Prodyz said: I feel that this episode have the same vibes as golden time with all those male MC's indecisiveness. is that the only trait to exploit in rom/drama shows? When was haruki ever indecisive? He just always played the hand he was dealt. That's his flaw. Kazusa states this many times as him "playing it safe" he realizes he truly loves touma and is making it right so whats the prob? |
| That part where haruki played powder snow made me teary eyed. |
mhyr1104 said: I get a feeling that Setsuna wouldn't actually be sad as long as Haruki and Touma still stay as friends with her and don't leave her out. I'm sure that she wanted to get between the two of them since she didn't want to be left out, so I'm sure that she will feel a lot better if Touma and Haruki got together while keeping her with them Hey someone gets it. Though she would be a little sad, because she actually does love Haruki more than she thinks she does. |
| i really hate this selfish bit#h setsuna........ this is what you get for meddling in other ppl love 5/5 felt so sad for touma, and that stupid haruki can just go and jump off a cliff for his patheticness |
| If the game expected you to take a side by the end...then it failed miserably. I'm not praising the game btw. |
Too true. Haruki for worst MC of 2013. I leaped for joy when he got slapped. I actually would have been quite satisfied if it ended when the screen faded to black as Haruki cried in his room, both Touma and Setsuna deserve way better. Haruki kinda has terrible taste in women so its ok. It all balances out by the end. |
| It's more of the fact that you think Setsuna and Kazusa deserve better....little do you know my friend. |
outkastfox said: Amazing. Yes |
| I feel like Haruki should've broken up with Setsuna before going after Touma. He kinda deserved that slap... |
 |
| The ending song is so great. |
| Not a fun episode to watch for a Setsuna fan . (Feeling the pain of Setsuna >.<) |
| So Setsuna knew she was being a bitch right from the start and still forced herself inbetween Haruki and Touma. Being a Touma supporter, I really enjoyed this episode. This anime is nothing like school days. The MC here is completely different. |

Thanos_ said: ollythirteen said: Wow. It's been SO long since I've been made to feel by an anime. Not since NANA. That last part was pretty darn powerful. I mean - their feelings for one another - just palpable. Anyone know if the final episode'll be airing next week Saturday? Or do you think they went with an anime original ending with this ep? 'cause "Kill la Kill"'s gone on break 'cause of the holidays... This episode is not original. Still going to have another episode. The EP1 foreshadow would not be there if this was the last episode. im confused as to what the foreshadow in episode 1 was.i rewatched it and didnt see anything that could be a foreshadowing to the "last episode."could you please explain what the foreshadow was? |

| Mmm, now I can only see a bad ending xD I don't see how everyone can be happy in the end. Setsuna talk on the roof with the other girl that I don't remember her name was really interresting and touching. When she said that she putted herself between them by singing that day... :( The talk on the cellphone was also touching, but really, Haruki will lose all. They're is no way that he can stay with Setsuna after all that and I'm pretty sure Kazusa will still leave. Now he'll be left alone with that ring he buyed. I also wonder what was in that letter. |

| I'm glad he chose Touma in the end, this didn't turn out to be train wreck after all. |
| gosh ive been rooting for tomoexharuki since episode 1!! |
 |
| While I totally loved that ending I still feel sorry for Setsuna and still find Haruki a jerk for not properly expressing what he really wants... The development was certainly lovely especially that ending but well with the next episode being the last I really wonder what that ill offer! |
 |
| Could have easily been the last episode. |
 |
| Holy shit. That was a great episode. Thats right, I'm rooting for Touma. TOUMA>OTHER GIRL. Gotta say, the ost for this show is awesome |
 |
| The was kind of a butt move, calling Setsuna after he gets sick from being out chasing Kazusa. He even lets her kiss him! And he doesn't say anything! If they hadn't shown him in pain after that, I may have written him off. That ring.... Cut to Kazusa in a cafe with Setsuna, lying to her in an attempt to protect her. Ugh. But, Setsuna knows. Kazusa said she loved Setsuna (as a friend), and I think that's the source of all of her botch attempts to keep things okay between Setsuna and Haruki. She was being really strong.... Then we finally get the straight of it from Setsuna. She saw Kazusa kiss Haruki on the concert night. Talk about a twist on everything that's happened until now. What the crap. And then she tried to keep them all together despite that? What did she think was going to happen? How did she picture that ending? I know it's not all her fault, because Haruki and Kazusa have made some pretty bad decisions too, but ugh. ._.; Takeya seems like a good friend. He was really trying hard to keep Haruki from screwing things up with Setsuna... When he tried to stop him from running, Setsuna smiled. I wonder, was she glad Haruki hesitated, or was she glad he wanted to go after Kazusa? Kazusa tried to pull a fast one. It was a bittersweet humor, seeing her out at those swings. I'm glad Haruki found her, because he's basically ended it with Setsuna. That hug. That kiss. (I usually don't like a lot of kissing, but this show seems to pull it off the right way.) It isn't over 'till it's over, though. One episode left. ...Maybe we'll finally hear that song of Haruki's. I think it might be called "White Album 2". No? Edit: For everyone hating on Setsuna, keep in mind that although she was "intruding", she got full permission from Kasuza before pursuing Haruki any further. While I do think it was a bit underhanded, it was a mistake, and she admits that it was a mistake. There were a lot of mistakes made here, so don't try to place all of the blame on one person. As much as I dislike the cheating stuff, I hope Haruki at least ends up with one of them. It would be a bittersweet ending rather than a sad one if two of them are together at the end.... |

| Haruki had just officially made my "least favorite character" list. I bet touma fans are rejoicing right now while im here feeling like shit. I dont really get why Setsuna is getting so much unjustified hate. Pretty much all the people who hate her are the hardcore touma shippers. Yes, she did get in between those two bitches but her intentions are pure and she obviously regrets it. I have nothing against touma, she's hasnt done anything wrong really. But seriously, I dont like haruki, cheating is wrong. Yes, this happens in real life and so you can say this is realistic, but this is not something I want to see in anime. I deeply regret watching this show though its obviously too late. |

| Baka Haruki. I don't have anything else to say. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| this is the most intense love triangle i've ever watched |
 |
| Rolling my eyes so hard I thought I was looking at my own prostate |
 |
| "I really loved you, so when you chose Setsuna instead it hurt me." OMG. You didn't even tell him your feelings and just played tsuntsun every time you met! How do you think he should have known? From that creepy kiss while he slept? What an asshole that Haruki is, for not noticing he was kissed during his sleep... At least Setsuna showed some signs of liking Haruki... Also, Haruki should have at least be a man and break up with Setsuna first. |
