| I completely agree about whoever said that the friendship between Setsuna and Touma feels fake. I used to like the MC but not much anymore. I actually understand why would Tomua be heads over heels over Haruki but not Setsuna. I still like Tomua but I don't think I can call her a favorite character of mine anymore.. |

| Great show. Best love triangle I've seen. Up there with Rumbling Hearts. Other love triangles need to learn from this. I like both heroines in this show and I felt really sad for Setsuna even though I was rooting for Touma. This show is definitely going to get a season 2. |

hyperknees91 said: And this was the last time the series was good. Anyway yeah Setsuna is clearly insane obviously, Kazusa is a friggin idiot of course. But hey both are entertaining and isn't that what matters the most? Anyone find it funny that Kazusa managed to cause such a giant mess before leaving and left without having to deal with any of it. Not blaming her of course its just kind of funny. I hope you guys don't like Kazusa...I really don't. Anyway I submitted my review. Nice characters, decent setup, poor drama. 7/10 I like Kazusa more than Setsuna but i like both of them. Decent Series. Although some scenes were painful to watch, still a GOOD TIME WASTER. 8/10 hoping for a second season. WTF PEOPLE HATING ON TOUMA KAZUSA JUST FOR THAT SILLY SEX SCENE, What in the world. Oh myyyyy. Roflmao. People hating beautiful characters just because they did something bad and had sex sex sex. What a dense way to put it but it's just stupid. ALL of them were at fault so there's so one to actually blame here. DAMN IT. |

| I was surprised they sex, the anime didn't feel like the type to include a sex scene, but overall a good episode. Thought I hate that they left so many questions unanswered. Like do Haruki and Setsuna get back together? Or maybe Touma comes back? You could say that it's left to the watcher imagination but if I wanted to use my imagination I would not watching a anime someone else wrote. it really pisses me off when the writer leaves the story unfinished, and I really don't see this as having a second season. |
 |
| God, this is the worst cast of main characters i've ever seen! |
| Okay... by the vote up top, y'all might think I'm crazy for saying this. Anime should have ended with Ep. 12. Ep. 1-12 GREAT. Top 25 anime list for me if we are going by Ep. 1-12. Ep. 13... 13 is a very unlucky number despite the fact our protagonist gets lucky. But Setsuna and Touma. I liked Touma throughout the series so Ep. 12 made me think the series had ended with our Protagonist and Heroine in each others embrace. The 2 minute sex scene to a show that's been pretty PG surprised me. I know its White Album but I thought they were staying away from the Original White Album with this one. I personally had trouble watching White Album, because it had too much sex he betrayed everyone, and was so pathetic I couldn't stand the character. The Sequel was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Then you through in a sex scene and a guilt trip that made me feel uber shitty, then Setsuna wouldn't leave the guy alone. That airport scene was... classless just... Y'all get my point. Ending for this one may have ruined the series. 2/10 for ep. 13. Cause of the surprise they gave us. Ep. 1-12 a masterpiece and a real treat . |
| WTHHHHHHHH. LOLOLOLOlOLOLOLOL Why do people keep on complaining about that silly sex scene? What the actual fuck. They love each other so what? They want to have sex and they did it. Nothing's wrong with that. |
| Yeah nothing wrong with it. And its not that people are complaining It was awkward and didn't fit the story it kinda just jumped out. |
| Ahhh, those tears rolling from Setsuna, especially when she broke down at the airport after seeing Touma and Haruki. Sigh. Haruki you bastard. |
| Bloop |

Or did Kazusa just leave after that kissing scene? Spoilers tag pls.. Nah. LibertyPrime333 said: Okay... by the vote up top, y'all might think I'm crazy for saying this.

It's not the ending though, this is just the introductory arc from the novels, there are two more arcs after this, I would say this is like 15% of the whole story. pizza_012 said: WTHHHHHHHH. LOLOLOLOlOLOLOLOL Why do people keep on complaining about that silly sex scene? What the actual fuck. They love each other so what? They want to have sex and they did it. Nothing's wrong with that. The sex scene was okay... but the scene of her exiting the apartment walking like she had her insides destroyed was ridiculous. Seriously, I've spent minutes laughing at this. I don't even know why people jimmies are being rustled by this sex scene, it's just the final nail in the coffin, Haruki have been cheating on Setsuna at least emotionally for a while before this final part, it was more subtle in the beginning, he goes out with Setsuna because of his lust, but at some point he starts showing his intentions and goes running around after Kazusa while neglecting his own girlfriend without ever talking to her about this. ________________________________________________ My opinion is about the same as what I said to the friend who gifted me the novel when I finished the story: I don't like Haruki. To hell if he is realistic or whatever, we are supposed to empathize with him. It's not like characters are allowed to have weakness, flaws and be indecisive, he acted like a teenager thinking with his other head but this is also common, but having a show revolving around an asshole who knows he is an asshole, and only meeting the consequences of the worst sides of the characters was getting tiresome after a while, going through this particular part of the story was presented made me dislike him AND Setsuna, even in the later arcs (I've learned to dislike Kazusa too, later). I couldn't care about their fate as much as one was supposed to do to fully enjoy this, so empathizing with them was hard, specially considering my life experiences, even by trying to put myself in the characters shoes. Also the trio as a whole, their friendship... I... don't... even. Please, the anime is even worse because you see this from an outside perspective and you can see how weak Kazusa and Setsuna bonds as friends really are, watching this series in one go up to chapter 12 just left this impression even stronger into me compared to the novel, it feels really fragile and it seems the one only reason they are together after a while is Haruki. Still, the main thing about White Album 2 is that compared to the thousands of other works with similar themes it's really outstanding, so if you like this kind of story it's definitely your cup of tea. For me, I just spared a few facepalms through it. I guess I grew a bit tired of monogamy (and the drama that comes with it) over the past few years, too boring. |
| Setsuna deserved it!.. i don't feel bad for her:/ that's what she gets for being like that!! look at touma watching them kiss too If setsuna didn't give a fuck about haruki and Touma feelings why they would give a fuck about how she feels watching them kiss at the end U_U But you know NOBODY WINS. that is sad. |

| Woah.. A lot of people arguing about who made this mess situation in WA2. TBH i actually rooting for Setsuna. But, in my personal opinion, the 3 of them had a reason or two on why they did that. And actually at a situation that deserve them a blame Kazusa, i salute her for understanding Setsuna feeling and decided to not takes a move. But, for me its better that she being honest here and tell Setsuna and Haruki (before they going out) that she loves Haruki too, if in the end she can't control her loves for Haruki and in the end betray Setsuna like that. Setsuna, never did acts that can break Kazusa's heart in front of her (Kiss or whatever) like what Kazusa did in the Airport. But, yep, consider yourself Kazusa, she in any minute later, will leave the person she loves the most. That's why she dare to do that even in front of Setsuna. You know, "Love kill your mind and senses" Setsuna, yeah right she told Haruki that she loves Him. Despite that she knows Kazusa and Haruki Feelings. It means that she abandon their feelings here. Its true, but the reason behind that is because, she don't want to be left out by them. Like what she was when she is in middle school (Correct me if im wrong, i forgot). And for me, Setsuna is very sportive here, as she declares it to Kazusa that she loves Haruki and that's why when she did a first move here, for me its an obvious move. And the way she acted around Haruki and Kazusa is well-behaved. Like the three of them were friend. And what i salute the most is, she still trying to defend Haruki even though she was the one who get betrayed here. And she even smiled to Kazusa when she saw her in the airport too. Haruki, well.. for me if anyone deserve to get blamed the most, it will be him. He doesnt want to hurt others feeling here, i salute it, but as a man, he shouldnt be indecisive here. If he loves Kazusa when the moment he get confessed by Setsuna then tell her that you love Kazusa. Sometimes kindness, not always bring happiness. Lets see here, he doesnt want to hurt Setsuna, so he say yes to her confession. In the end, with that decision, it just hurt her feelings more.. And in my opinion, if Haruki is not indecisive here, it will just hurt Setsuna a little and Their love (Haruki and Kazusa) will be fine somewhat and maybe after Setsuna can accept the truth, the 3 will be together fine too as a friend. So, in the end, for me the 3 of them is at fault here. And if i want to hate anyone in this anime, its THEM, yeah, Haruki, Setsuna and Kazusa. (Haruki the most though) That's why although i'm rooting for Setsuna, i wont say that she is right and Kazusa is wrong here. And of course those just my personal opinion. It can get wrong and maybe differ with anyone else here. But, at least.. Kazusa and Haruki got hurt because of their indecisiveness and were not honest to themselves. They got hurt because they ran away and didn't try anything here to get what they want (at least till Setsuna's birthday, but dude its too late as its already a mess). Its like they give up from the very start, and lose. But Setsuna.. yeah she got hurt here too and maybe the most, but she obtain it after a lot of work and effort here to obtain what she wants (Haruki). And she stays true to her heart and being honest here all the way (Don't count what she says in the train, she lying because she wants to defend Haruki). So, at least for me... she "failed" after trying. And i respect that even though maybe she's the one losing here :) |
| Eh. Should've gone the harem route and avoided all the drama. That said, the story is meant as a prequel to an eroge, so it had only one end, so I guess it couldn't been helped. The novels/games aside, the rational thinker, after watching the end of this show, would conclude that long distance relationship don't quite work well, he'd eventually forget about Touma, and devote himself fully to Setsuna. I liked her better too, in part because she actually went after Haruki, while Touma didn't do a thing, besides kissing him while asleep (and then more). |

| I hope this means we'll have a second season. I've never played the VN nor read the LN so I can't compare like most of you, but I liked it, overall it was a fun anime to watch in the beginning when everything was ok, but it was also interesting when all the drama began. Haruki is not my favourite person but I mean we can't choose the person we love and sometimes we make mistakes. Setsuna, I feel bad for her, in the end she really liked him but she also understood that we can't make someone love us back. Touma, she was my favourite one since the beggining since I relate to her a lot. Best OST. Not thrilled about the ending, since everyone was unhappy and I didn't understand why Touma left. So as I said, hope this means we'll have a second season. |
I like Kazusa more than Setsuna but i like both of them. Decent Series. Although some scenes were painful to watch, still a GOOD TIME WASTER. 8/10 hoping for a second season. WTF PEOPLE HATING ON TOUMA KAZUSA JUST FOR THAT SILLY SEX SCENE, What in the world. Oh myyyyy. Roflmao. People hating beautiful characters just because they did something bad and had sex sex sex. What a dense way to put it but it's just stupid. ALL of them were at fault so there's so one to actually blame here. DAMN IT. Who cares about the sex scene, that's like the most understandable thing she did. Though slapping the phone away from Haruki was a bit manipulative. I hate on Kazusa because she's a coward and a selfish brat. I hate on Haruki because he's a submissive half-assed idiot. And I hate on Setsuna for only a few scenes in coda. I more just shake my head at her for being so foolish though. The novels/games aside, the rational thinker, after watching the end of this show, would conclude that long distance relationship don't quite work well, he'd eventually forget about Touma, and devote himself fully to Setsuna. I liked her better too, in part because she actually went after Haruki, while Touma didn't do a thing, besides kissing him while asleep (and then more). You wish. |

| Mixed feelings. Setsuna is indeed one selfish bitch , but this is way too much ;__; Setsuna +1 for you , that makes you 1. Glad that Haruki made it crystal clear to Setsuna about his feeling towards Kazusa. And glad that Setsuna realized that she is the one who's interrupting their relationship in the beginning. Setsuna redeemed half of herself imo. White Album 2 was a ride filled with mixed feelings , love it 10/10 imo. Hope to hear the second season announcement anytime soon. Haters gonna hate. Heavy SS Kazusa shipper. |

| Well, that was definitely an odd ending. All I could think in my head during the last episode was, "yup, this is going the School Days route". Then, when she walked into his room, but it wouldn't show her hands, I was for sure, someone was about to get a major head or chest pain |

Nah you can like Kazusa, I never suggested that. The only reason I'd feel bad if you liked her too much is well...obviously you're not going to see her for a long time (if at all). Though you are correct that I have been overly anal, and I apologize for that. Defending Kazusa is easy. She's a coward by nature because of the actions of her mother, so she grew up incredibly introverted coupled with extreme abandonment issues. Nothing she did in this episode is actually out of line with her character. Still I find it hard for me not to hate on her and Haruki when I feel like they've gone too far. Perhaps I just need to work on being a more understanding person. Now do I think she or Haruki are poorly written characters (at least at this point). No absolutely not, a lot of thought and care was put into them. You know my biggest problem with the end isn't anything Kazusa did as that's mostly just fun rage fodder. It's more of Setsuna being so overly forgiving to stay with Haruki. I mean seriously woman? I wish Haruki would have just pushed her away as a coutesy...but of course not. |

| Eh, I really didn't like it. But to be fair to the writers of the show, I can't really say whether or not the episode was "good" or "bad", because I'm really biased here. The two things I hate the most (you know, besides war and that stuff) is people who cheat, and endings with no resolutions. This episode gave me both. Don't get me wrong, the writing clearly justifies and suggests, that Touma and Kitahara belong together. But cheating is still cheating. But I could live with that. The fact that the asshole KISSES TOUMA IN FRONT OF A GIRL WHO OBVIOUSLY LOVES HIM IS JUST DOUCHY AS FACK! Wtf dude, you already won?! You got the girl you loved, and now you rub it in the face of another girl? Wtf, have some DECENCY! And the fact that the anime ends off with a "oh, nobody got happy, cause that's life" is just meh to me. |

| I haven't watched this episode yet... comochi said: i want ask to VN player so anime end is touma route rite? You mean this episode? This is how Introductory Chapter really ends and it depends on the studio if they'll do the sequels. (But I got some "proof" that they will most likely gonna do those) |

| Some of you people need to get off your high horse. Cheating is not the the bane of all existence. Lol Touma was a great and easily admirable character for me from the start. She was very calm, talented, and decisive. I thought she deserved Haruki more than the girl who knew she liked him but snatched him up anyway. Guys always go with what's in front of them for the most part so I don't blame Haruki. To me, he's one of the manliest male leads I've seen in romance anime. I don't care if it sounds like I'm being biased but hey, all you Setsuna Lovin'/Dirty Play Hatin' bandwagon ridin' salty whiners just got P'd on by Touma's superior character to Setsuna's. *dances* Aww yea My ship has sailed. Hold dat bitches! |

| Haruki made it clear to setsuna how he feel about kazusa.So season 1 covers up the Introductory chapter. i can't wait for CC and CODA to get animated. |

| MASTER PIECE 10/10 fews word to describe this anime, pls dont give a fuckk to what i says setsuna = sweet-talk, selfish, opportunity stealer, bitc#h haruki = impatient, indecisive, fuckking pathetic class rep i felt good for touma that she flew to live with her mom, i think touma must have realllllly miss her, and it is good to mend her broken heart s2 plsssssssss X) |
