| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dem promises~ Decent OST this episode. Touma was pretty pissed this episode. Better give her what she wants back. |

| Hmm I love the ost, but still dont understand that toothbrush thingy |
GGNoodles said: Hmm I love the ost, but still dont understand that toothbrush thingy I didn't understand it after last episode, but now I do. Kitahara and Touma didn't tell Ogiso that he had been staying over night at her house to practice (I thought she knew) so when she saw his toothbrush there she figured it out. |
| That was interesting. Drama was much less than I thought. Which is good ^^ Never thought Kazusa would do sth like that O_O! XD But it's actually refreshing for her type of character. Usually this type would be the know it all do it all genius. So to see her being a genius only in Music and stupid in anything else is nice. Setsuna and Haruki's conversation on the phone was really nice. Loved How Setsuna was embarrassed in bed thinking "I just seem like some jealous girl like this" XD...She was cute there. The promise Haruki made will probably come back to haunt him later though. A girl could definitely misunderstand that <_< Then the ending happens! I wonder if it's only fatigue or something more serious? Anyway look at the bright side. At least the coffee didn't get spilled on the music sheets XD |
 |
| Looks like Touma overexerted herself at the end. Hope that she will be okay. |
 |
| Continues to be good. My favorite part was their phone conversation : ) |
| i love how they didnt make it melodramatic. everything turned out nicely. but inb4 woman comes to woman's house demanding her man or her money... |
    |
| What a character study this episode was. Ogiso is pretty possessive. At the overpass, I felt as though she was really forcing herself to think of Kitahara like he's nothing special. She's been doing that 'forced self-persuasion' since her talk with Touma in the coffee shop. And the part when she greeted Kitahara at school, where she makes Kitahara greet her louder and louder. I wouldn't be surprised if she's making a statement to the student body that 'Kitahara is hers now. Everyone else back off.' Since we don't fully understand Touma, it's easy to see how her running away was a bit too dramatic, but I believe that that part was an essential trait of her character, and I'm sure that moment has more depth than just an impulsive action by Touma. Great episode. |
| I ran off after arguing with a male teacher, too in the middle of the class before. Hmm, it just happened, not just in anime. I like Touma. Rooting for her. |
| Oh, the tears, they are so bitter. |
| Dies Irae! :) |
| One of the best seriously-atmosphered romance title |

Another aspect is that, with them staying over without telling her, she felt like she was the left out person. I can sorta understand that feelings.

One thing that differentiates it from the others is that, typically, one girl of a love triangle is always more appealing in some ways than the other one, but i'm actually rooting for both Setsuna and Touma for the first time! Completely agree with this, the char developments are carefully handled that you have to come to like both of the main female character. I mean they both have their cute side and personality, which makes them stand out at the same time. It's not like one overtakes the other, but they share their spotlight with another. |

| Yep, still great. Setsuna is seriously possessive. Not a fan. Touma all the way. I also agree that the MC telling Setsuna he'll never leave her will come back to bite him in the ass. Looking forward to shit getting real after the festival, I anticipate that's where a lot of the drama this season comes from. |

firezero10 said: Off topic: May I ask which Romance anime/VN is way better than WA2? Normally I would not rely on something's ratings in order to judge the quality of the material BUT WA2 would probably be the special case. Like steins;gate, Clannad, or hell even ever 17 are generally agreed upon to be rather good games despite someone's taste. That is in a professional sense you can tell the work that was put into it and the overall 'expression' or theme its trying to present. Whether or not the romantic plot is mediocre should not be the focus, but how it is executed. If something becomes a Kamige or god game then most likely it has something about it that is greatly appealing or its doing something right. So try it out, but I doubt you will find much better than WA2 |
| Again, the character interactions in this series are pretty superb. The relationship between Kitahara and Ogiso is also developing very nicely without relying on excessive cliches. Not much to say other than really looking forward to the next episode with Kazusa falling ill -- I suppose someone will have to take care of her, and it's probably going to be Kitahara. Triangle: begin. |

If I ever start watching Korean dramas, they better be at a Godly Standard that you're making them out to be. Prepare to be disappointed. It's MAL. It seems like every time someone brags something up and you watch it, it ends up being a colossal disappointment and you wonder why the person that recommended it enjoyed it in the first place. I've seen a few Korean dramas. He's embellishing a bit. |
| This anime is amazing, I love it! fabulous episode, that reconciliation but ... What will happen to Touma? Damn, I have to wait a week D: |
 |
| There it is, the heroine gets sick. I can't wait to see if she how she will pull through. |

Hmm, i think Setsuna like that, because of the trauma she has. In middle school, she has a lot of friends. But after some guy confess his love to setsuna, her friends began to avoid her and leave her. That's why when Touma and Haruki staying together, and did not tell Setsuna about this, she feels that once again, her friends begin to treat her like an outsider. (it is not spolier as this episode tell you about this). Although.. it is very clear that that just not the issue here. Her love for Haruki play a big role here. But, a little dissapointed here when Setsuna and Haruki talk in the phone.. In VN, when Haruki told Setsuna to cut off the phone, Setsuna told haruki that she will cut off the phone after Haruki call her 'Setsuna' in the phone. Haruki, did that. And right after Haruki did that, Setsuna cut off the phone without saying anything. And Haruki dumbfounded here. As she really cut the phone right after Haruki call her 'Setsuna' in the phone. I think, that joke was very refreshing. But, the anime.. didn't do that. Well, despite that White Album 2 is a great romance anime. For me, this is the best romance anime in this season. |
| Glad to know the misunderstandings were cleared. Setsuna seeing the toothbrush was thinking Touma and Haruki had something going on, and she felt left out. She had just overcome her dilemma of being lonely after that ordeal she had in middle school. Let's not forget Setsuna's friends avoided her when that one baka jerk confessed to Setsuna. She goes to high school thinking everything will change for the better, which it does when she meets Haruki and Touma whom love her for who she is. Then when staying over at Touma's place she sees the extra toothbrush and Setsuna thinks it's happening again that Touma and Haruki just played with her feelings, and she gets that lonely feeling as she walks home. However, as you can see Setsuna a while later after the promise Haruki made of never leaving her she puts two stuffed animals next to each other. That symbolizes she no longer feels lonely, and she can move on leaving her negative experiences behind. I was hoping Haruki would maybe give her a hug and explain everything before she got on the train. That's just me. The ending of this episode caught me off guard. I expected a preview of next episode, but I get a bittersweet episode after Touma falls to the ground after finishing her song I suppose. I really hope it's just fatigue, and not like an illness. |

| The club got closer !!! : ) |
| The way this episode was handled, with the characters actually explaining themselves to one another and not only clearing away the misunderstandings, but bonding more as a result....sublime. Really liked the phone conversation scene, not just for the dialogue but little things like how, when Setsuna fell out of her bed, they showed one of her dolls falling instead. Also, Touma's blow up sure was interesting. It seems she did the same with Haruki before, as his brief flashback and attempt to stop her indicate. Also, the three of them skipping class together was pretty heartwarming as well. Some real chemistry between these three characters which, from my experience with anime, is pretty rare.

| Really good cinematography and directing in the beginning when they were talking on the bridge. If only Nodame Cantabile had this animation and top notch quality... Also, phone scene was nice. Still, Setsuna reminds me of Orihime (Bleach) so much but a bit different in terms of pushiness. |
| Fantastic episode. I love it. This is my favorite type of romance drama. Great character interactions all around |

| Wow already the best or 1 of the best love triangle series ever (anohana/true tears might be considered love triangles at least for me) and potential to be 1 of the g elites in romance up there with bokura ga ita, kare kano, itazura na kiss.... still too early to put it anywhere near Clannad tho but lets see |

Let's just keep watching where the story will go. Personally I think its too soon to compare great titles like Ef or Clannad. |
| What Haruki really said when he made that promise: Setsuna, I'm going to dig myself a bottomless pit that I can easily fall into |
| I love the twists of the story much better than the game I now prefer the anime. :) |
| "Google is your friend.." |
GenuineAnime said: still too early to put it anywhere near Clannad tho but lets see Clannad is more sad drama then just "romance" drama though, So it's very a different Genre. You don't need to put White Album 2 near Clannad because it's on another pedestal. |

| Wow, was a really good episode, want to have the live over so I can see how their relationships will go after this. |
| This is that woman's house LOL !! Who would have thought a White Album2 parody will make its way to the official franchise of White Album2 as a password (and teaching material) in the anime?? LOL |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I don't know what it is with this series but it feels so refreshing to watch. *_* It has been too long since I last watched a good romance. |
