What I wonder is how is Ghost Banri doing all this supernatural stuff? I really hope they explain this.

As for the hate on Ghost Banri, yes, he is a prick, but the guy acts like a human, just like all of us. We all have that urge of revenge. The good news is that he realizes that he was going too far, and saved the characters at the last second.


Yeah, I completely agree with you here. I dislike the ghost, but at least he's showing regret for his actions. I'm really eager to see how Banri's inner turmoil is finally sorted out. I hope the ghost side can just let it be...

Ghost Banri sucks, I'm still not giving him any points for saving them if he did because really his the one who put them into that situation.

Great episode but get a grip Ghost Banri.

That was so stupid. Some part of Banri's consciousness doesn't have the power to make it rain or get them stuck in traffic.

Why are you so determined to hate Kouko? She can be over-the-top, but she is not a psychotic bitch.

To think of it, why are you still watching this show? It's obvious that this show centers around Banri and Kouko's relationship, and will end with them together.

By the way, it's not her having feelings for Yana. It's stated clearly that she's worried about Chinami.

At least he was not driving like they do in India.

I stated this in another discussion that her and Linda's roles have virtually been flipped. Before when Koko was acting crazy there were fans of hers defended her, now that Linda has been making mistakes it's the other way around. I've actually grown a liking to Koko, so I'm fine with the obvious pairing. They did good making Koko try to be a better character while staying true to her unconventional tendencies.

I don't get the hate towards any of the characters. Not like any of them have done anything bad. I guess its mildly amusing watch people irrationally hate on someone because they ship a certain pairing.

It got Better. That’s all I’m saying. Personally this anime was not my type but then because of the recent episode I raised it up a notch (more like conforming to society). Why? This episode concentrated more on the emotional and psychological drama with the ghost of the main character coming back to prevent a tragedy. It was fairly interesting but need to watch future plot devleopments to understand where it will go.

Personally, I think the ghost is a really weak plot device to keep the Linda/Koko/Banri love triangle alive. I also don't agree with the term "psychological drama". Banri isn't at war with himself over which girl to choose. Banri doesn't even have a choice which personality is in control. It is either his new self or the ghost sitting in the back seat. Not being aware that the ghost even exists doesn't make it dramatic. The ghost is really just mean, considering that the new Banri isn't doing anything to intentionally hurt him. The new Banri is trying to carve out a life for himself without ties to the past he doesn't understand, and the ghost decided to curse him for it.

I just get more and more annoyed every episode that the ghost is even a thing.

2D-kun's car conversation about Chinami :P

He seriously wore the toxic speedo :O

Koko had a flashy one too.

"That's the first time she's called me an idiot" It's a sign that they're growing, lol

Ghost Banri is regretting it now, they really really should of turned the radio on low or something.

Phew I was getting really anxious there.

I doubt Ghost Banri is actually controlling the weather and the other characters directly. That would be far too much power for him to wield. It's more likely the curse he originally gave them is producing bad luck.

As for Banri, you can't assume the original Banri is old news and the current Banri will be like this forever and ever. The vast majority of retrograde amnesiacs will recover their memories sooner or later. In reality, they're really confused individuals trying to piece their lives back together again and rediscovering themselves. The real kicker is when spontaneous recovery occurs and suddenly they have two sets of memories. Now the interesting thing is, from a third-person perspective, you would assume the "old" memories would be dumped for the "new," but it actually feels fresh for them as the brain will always try to repair itself as long as it still receives oxygenated blood. And what happens when you repair something? It tries to restore its condition to what it was before it was damaged. People who recover their memories have to reconcile both sets of memories in another mental "reset" of sorts after the first one. Only then have they truly found themselves again and stand at the crossroads of choosing the true path to take.

Based on the preview, I think ghost Banri comes back and now present Banri remembers his past, that's why Koko was crying because I think Banri will say something about his past and feelings for Linda and hurt Koko's feelings and Nana gets mad at him for being and asshole, or something like that.

Why does Ghost Banri suck so hard?
He's spineless, whiny, and overall an immature prick

Assuming the preview is about Kouko shutting herself in her room because she doesn't want to go to Barcelona and being pissed at Banri because he didn't tell her to stay

Or because she fell asleep at the wheel and nearly killed all of the people she cares about most, including the man she loves? I think that is more likely the reason for her shutting herself in her room. (I have wondered what lead to that since I saw the illustrations for volume 6 of the novels.)

Good episode! Glad they made the most out of the trip even with the rain and traffic.

I'm interested in which Banri woke up and stepped on the brake. Was it ghost Banri or the current Banri. I personally think it's ghost Banri because he knew what to do as soon as he regained consciousness.

Episode enjoyable, but the cliffhanger had to be pretty darn best to shake your wrists! ^ ^ "
Plot-style Slice of Life but alternatively, I see a certain freshness in setting, narrative crazy (too much) and pleasant, a bit obnoxious Koko and Tada.

Enjoy the anime alot, Toradora is one of my favs, this anime is not as good so far, but it is really unique and different off Toradora, a bit more mature look to it, which I really enjoy and apreciate. And the last couple of minutes... that is serious, I was already predcting something (to much focus on driving the way back!), but it seems everything goes fine, and they prevented a major accident! About ghost banji, I hate him, and still I like him, seriously one of the unique aspetcs of the story is his true self/lost memories, now a wandering "ghost". I cant predict a end to this anime, what will happen to ghost banji?? Will banji stay with kouko or will his memories fully return making him back to lisa... definitly interesting.

Not really a fan of Ghost Banri but I know how he feels. Still, it's not a reason to curse current Banri into these situations. However, this just goes to show how hard moving on is for everyone.

Dammit man, I dunno why but that scene in the rain reminded me of this scene from Final Fantasy X:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FTJxfV3pc
so freaking awkward. >_> This series seems to have a lot of those moments though. And was I the only who caught Banri grabbing Koko's breasts there? And then that his expression in the next frame...

I couldn't help but scoff at them being discouraged by the rain... storms are the most fun time to swim. If you're not dying, then what more could you ask for in terms of fun?

It's funny, this whole episode I was actually a bit disappointed in Ghost Banri... thinking there's plenty of worse things he should be doing if he's going to "haunt" Banri. I mean the occasional thorn in the side isn't exactly going to make him regret leaving him behind and choosing Koko. Near the end I was almost hoping for some Final Destination type stunts... but I did get some serious chills when he started screaming in an attempt to save them at the end, just goes to show that he didn't really lose his human side.


And lol @ people arguing over what could've happened if Ghost Banri didn't do the things he did. Such an unintelligent argument when the debate is "well this might have possibly had a chance of happening if said person didn't do this". And just for arguments sake, anyone saying they wouldn't have been as tired if it weren't for Banri has never been swimming... I live in Florida and I can say that spending all day at the beach, swimming under the sun would wear the hell out of anyone. Hell swimming all day period would be grueling enough, and playing in the rain would be nothing compared to it.

Besides all that, it's not like he forced them to decide to play in the rain... I'm pretty sure his idea was that they would simply have to cancel their plans. When it comes down to it, it was their decision to party to a late hour which in turn is why they fell asleep.

- First, you probably just don't pay much attention to your hands when you drive, because even on a straight road you'll constantly have to straighten your wheels, especially on longer drives... you're never going to just perfectly line it up.

- I doubt they're sitting next to each other with safety in mind... it's because they're dating so obviously they're going to want to sit close to each other. Not to mention they know there's gonna be five people.

- Also, I think most ladies would keep their purse in their lap... else it would get stepped on.

- All I can say about "looking away for 6 seconds" is pshaw, with enough practice there's nothing wrong with it as long as you're paying attention... I look away for minutes at a time, it's good to be aware of everything... then again I don't really trust my mirrors so I'm used to turning around while driving.

.. but I guess that's just different views on how to drive, and I'm pretty carefree when it comes to following those kinds of regulations.. It sounded like you were half joking about it anyway, but I just couldn't help but respond there.

Such a sincere feeling for a beach episode: they decided to have fun even with the bad luck. Plus the near wreck made this episode really exciting. I love the conflict of interests dynamic between the two Banris. It adds a whole other element to the anime.

Really, he of all people should know how it feels to have a broken heart and yet he tries to do the same thing to Kouko all the fucking time by forcing himself into Banris mind. I was so much like "IN YA FACE BITCH!" at the beginning when Banri declared his love for Kokou again. Serves the ghost right, ha!
