| Kouko was too cute this ep. I totally thought they were going to crash and either Banri or Kouko was going to die. But then the tragedy of the anime would be setting in at too early of a point, lol |
 |
| I really think this anime went downhill after Koko and Banri started dating. Ever since then the character interactions have seemed... well, awkward? |

| Ok, how in the world did Ghost Banri has so much power? he literally influenced so many circumstances that culminated in Banri's bad luck. How could a ghost (or poltergeist like some said) was able to make them meet each other late, created a rain, made them stuck in traffic jam, and then almost got them into an accident????? that literally meant that he could control the thought process of hundreds of people at the same time creating that exact situation. I can understand if Ghost Banri merely made Banri himself suffer through pranks (like what poltergeist usually do) that only affected him but he's controlling so many outer factors that no normal ghost or spirit should be able to control. Has he become some sort of God? |

| koko's tears in the preview looked heartbreaking.. ImTheGuy said: Did ghost Banri return to his body now? I hope so, things would get so much more interesting. that's what I think too! no one else thinks so?! hmm... guess we will see. glad things are starting to pick up again though Minagatachi said: I really think this anime went downhill after Koko and Banri started dating. Ever since then the character interactions have seemed... well, awkward? I think the anime was good up until the new 2014 episodes. the characters became.... out of character. still going with it though Mod Edit: Merged posts. Please do not double post. |

| Not much in the episode besides the highlight that stood out to me being Chinami-chan in her cute black swimsuit. Sadly wasn't too long. Chinami-chan with that I don't know what to call it demeanor at Mitsuo was interesting. I can't help the entire episode felt a bit off. That last scene had dread over me watching it unfold though I wonder which Banri woke up to stop the accident from occuring. I am wondering if present Banri is remembering his lost self seeing that image of Linda-senpai with that door imagery, so his old self will be one with his current self. Who knows, probably ghost Banri took over but hoping current and real Banri will become one again and go for Linda-senpai and notch a win with team Linda. Okay maybe not the last one. |

Has he become some sort of God? I'll put it this way... The ghost Banri we see now is the Banri who died during the accident(in a way). The emotions that he was unable to sort through brought forth this spirit and because he couldn't let go of his emotions, instead of being a devious spirit he becomes one of malice instead. Since poltergeist have also been known to hurt people(albeit rarely) it does at times happen. Also ghost Banri only needed to mess with the traffic lights to cause traffic which is easy since spirits use such as power alongside negative emotions. Thus why it made them meeting up hard to do. God I think too much. |

God I think too much. Hmm traffic lights I can understand but what about the rain? it was clearly meant to deter them from proceeding to the beach. And also the cast meeting late was the culmination of many things: Koko and Banri waiting at the wrong spot, Yana's father going away and he has to go back, Oka waiting on the basement and thus got no signal.. are you telling me that Ghost Banri can control their mind somehow to make them do those stuffs?. Even for a poltergeist I think that's too much power. Peeves from Harry Potter can do simple pranks (and hurt people like you said) but he can't control "external" circumstances that he can't get his hands on to. |

I'm guessing the director more or less used the rain to set the tone of ghost Banri's rage which is why it's shown to be his doing. You could say fate also played a part in this situation if you believe such a thing. Before you comment; have you ever found yourself trying to do only one simple thing yet everything just seems to go against you doing so? I have. This could've been a multitude of possibilities that simply fell into place, and unluckily just went against them. Then we have ghost Banri moving things along. |

| Well, I could see the looming accident coming from a mile away, but I was actually pleasantly surprised with how it was handled. I was expecting something like they crash and Banri bumps his head, causing ghost/asshole Banri to come to the forefront in full force. The way they worked in Ghost Banri as the potential savior from the worst outcome was done well. Ghost Banri is getting what he asked for (karma, ya know?), but his "this isn't what I wanted" spiel shows he isn't as cold as we thought he was, or as even HE thought he was, for that matter. Also, I was actually glad that the previously unknown thing Linda said was "just press on." It felt fitting. Also, am I wrong to think that Ghost Banri doesn't really have any power? Everything bad that happened seemed coincidental with his intentions, rather than a direct effect. Running late, getting stuck in traffic, and rain are all believable inconveniences, certainly not needing the intervention of a poltergeist to have all happen in one day. I still think he's more of a metaphor for Banri's latent memories. I'm purely speculating since I haven't read the LN, but please don't spoil! That's really the only thing keeping me onboard with this series right now. After sticking around for the first cour, I want to know how it ends. |

I still think he's more of a metaphor for Banri's latent memories. Not at all. What we're talking is more or less hypothetical. Like if this really is a spirit then how does everything else fall into place. I find it more interesting this way since it makes you use creativity which adds to a show that you may otherwise feel is lacking. |

| Oh snaps!!! that cliff hanger. |
| So reckless of them to be out on the road when they're all sleepy. Seriously! Now I'm assuming ghost Banri is back in his body next episode? |

| If that was actually Banri's leg and not the ghost's, damn he can stretch gud |
7thVoid said: HybridMBL said: Why does Ghost Banri suck so hard? He's spineless, whiny, and overall an immature prick It's funny cause ghost Banri might of just saved them all. Who knows where the car would've went otherwise. Good point! |
| Personally, I think the anime would take a much more interesting turn if Ghost Banri actually returned to his body in the end of this episode where he was running through all the doors to reach the real world. It would change the relationships between him and Kouko and him, and Linda and Mitsuo. |
 |
| Ghost Banri is really starting to get on my nerves. Really think this week's episode has been the best since the new year. Guessing ghost Banri is back if it was him that saves the them from the car wreck. Preview for next week looks good! |

| Oh gosh. That was too dangerous :S I really thought they were done for. Whew. |
  |
| that holiday almost be disastrous fortunately there is Ghost-Banri ^^ |
 |
| Ghost banri, you fail at Final Destination. |
| So I guess I can assume that they'll be safe. |
 |
| Oh.. I like how this episode ended crazily, lets hope it does not have too much impact on Koko and Banri's relationship. |
 |
| Ghost Banri everywhere, almost in every post on these forums... Oh, wait, come on. I mean, he is more like his second hidden personality rather than real ghost. He is just an omen of bad luck but those things aren't happening because of him and there hasn't been any real manifestation of him anywhere in the series. There are days in the life where your luck simply sucks and I take him as clever storytelling personification of such bad luck. Things like that, bad weather, late comings or traffic jam are pretty common in daily life and there is no need to think ghosts are behind it. Sometimes those things chains up into what we call Murphy's law. But sometimes people don't want to accept that this is everyday occurance and tend to blame something else - cause it is easier to think that way, it's easier than admitt that those things are simply happening sometimes. All in all, Banri is just schizophrenic that has created his second self after his motorcycle accident and sometimes his second self emerges, that's pretty normal. But showing his "ghost" throughout the series - just think of it as director's way to show his viewers what's happening in Banri's mind. |
| What if Ghost Banri was the one that woke up from the accident, not New Banri? |
 |
| Chinami being cold with Mitsuo was brilliant. You girl are my favorite. |
| Oka-chan was kawaii with those twin tails. I love the beach scene.. one of the most refreshing I've watched yet, I think. And please, don't sleep when driving. When riding a motor bike, I really don't fall asleep even when I'm sleepy, perhaps it's really different when driving a car. Anyway, what happened to Koko in the preview? 0__0 |
| I don't understand why Oka treat Yana like this? -.- She "rejected" him and she don't show any romantic interest with him, and now she is pissed because of Linda? Really... -.- Hope Linda/Yana because a thing at the end! Sorry G!Banri... but as much I like your trolling, Banri is such lame, that I just can't... -.- When he started dating Koko, he started act like her.... |
    |
| Finding it hilarious that almost 90% of the thread are hating on a "ghost" Banri. If it were an actual curse, then the sun wouldn't have let up, they wouldn't have gotten to go grab ramen or shaved ice. Seriously, if all the bad stuff were actually the curse of a "ghost", then shouldn't nothing have gone right at all? The "ghost" can take the claim of cursing them and all that, but in the end it was all down to natural causes. Oka treating Yana like that was a treat. She was kind of a boring character in the beginning, being the ditzy girl who was everyone's friend. This episode showed she actually had a character, and feelings besides "happy-go-lucky". LittleStar said: Banri is such lame, that I just can't... -.- When he started dating Koko, he started act like her.... Have to agree with you there. Banri and Koko's love is way too weird to be real. It make me feel like they're just two crazies acting crazy and clingy in front of everyone for the world to see. Crazy PDA does not happen in real life, only in anime I guess. |

| they need a major plot twist soon, hopefully either yana walking with linda was some kind of foreshadowing.2D-kun is gonna be pissed about his car |

Banri isn't a literal ghost or a separate personality. He's more just like Banri's subconscious thoughts. Deep down, he is conflicted between Linda and Koko. Subconsciously, he felt guilty going to the beach without Linda, so he wanted something bad to happen, but when it looked like their lives were in danger, he had a "be careful what you wish for" moment. Making it appear as a ghost is just an easier representation for the audience. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Swimming in the rain, just swimming in the rain... It was nice to see how they turned the mood after such a drag of a start with their beach trip That end puh, was that really needed? |
| OMGosh, my heart was beating so fast. I'm sooo glad Banri woke up! The preview of the next episode gave me hope, since it looks like everyone's safe and sound. PHEW! LittleStar said: I thought the same thing. "Get over it already!" That bitchy attitude of hers wasn't called for.I don't understand why Oka treat Yana like this? -.- She "rejected" him and she don't show any romantic interest with him, and now she is pissed because of Linda? Really... -.- LittleStar said: Hope Linda/Yana because a thing at the end! Sorry G!Banri... but as much I like your trolling, Banri is such lame, that I just can't... -.- When he started dating Koko, he started act like her.... I was cheering for Linda and Banri, but now I think Linda and Yano would make a cute item. Totally unexpected... Plus I'm tired of Ghost Banri already. I guess I'm rooting for a love triangle. :P |

| I love G!Banri trolling! and I will never have enought of him! xD But I hope he will don't mess with Linda/Yana, I want him to mess with Banri/Koko, because of L/Y But after last episode I don't think G!B will trolling again... -.- I also supported Linda/Banri, but shipping them is hard when Banri started act like this... -.- Also I started like Linda/Yana :D Hope they are real couple! *.* also I want some pissed Banri because of L/Y! xD |
| |
| I find it funny that those saying Banri's second half is not a real ghost. Obviously most people know that. As I mentioned before, this was more so hypothetical (If it is a ghost) how would he be able commit such deeds. One cannot watch a show in one perspective and expect them to like it's Entirety, which is why I like to think of this as ghost Banri. It should be obvious the writers have personified Banri's lost self as a curse. |

| From the looks of it, Ghost Banri has taken control. or banri may have amnesia again. Poor Kouko. |
| That was interesting :D I WANT MOAR |
 |
| Some theories are just so funny... Episode 15 - Banri tells Koko that he love her, and only her. Episode 16 - Banri break up with Koko... really?! What kind of idea is this? Episode 15 - G!Banri screaming for help, because Banri and rest can die... Episode 16 - G!Banri takes Banri body and break up with her. Really?! I don't know what's gonna happen with Koko in next episode, but if he really with break up with her, then both G!Banri/Banri are just a**h***s |
| |
| There are many possibilities for the next episode. I believe though since Koko can be over the top with things that she'll feel like the accident was her fault and because Banri was the one who saved everyone she can no longer face him. It appears everyone made it out alright if you take into consideration the next episode preview, so this is really the only problem I see. Unless Linda goes to see everyone to make sure either Banri or Mitsuo is alright. That will then stir up some emotional troubles for our little Chinami also. |

| Looks like Ghost Banri is back o.o At least it was because he didn't want everyone to die/be injured. So thickens the plot. I hope he and Linda just settle things as friends (I'm assuming they will considering this anime is obviously about Koko XD) |
 |
| I'm just shaking my head over this episode. |
