I... I don't know how to feel about Hatoko's outburst. I mean I feel like she's right to snap for Ando not trying to explain stuff to her, but the way she snapped at him was just... Too much? I can't really side for either Hatoko or Ando on this.

Other than that really interesting episode.

I cried in 2 instances... One when Hatoko started crying, another when Juu was slapped and told to get his act together.

Hatoko's rant probably could have been shorter to have a greater impact though...

That volcanic eruption, my god, that was most beautiful. The vagary of people usually not very articulate with their emotions was refreshing and almost edible.

Well, she just... lost it. She just couldn't take it anymore. Poor her. It's funny how Hatoko and Andou relationship looked so sweet and pure on the surface, but was way more complex on the inside.

I really loved when that other guy said : ''There is no such thing as someone whose never stressed nor have concerns''. I always feel like it's often the people who look the most happy that are the most conflicted inside them. Every have put at some point a facade to make thing less awkward with someone else. Imagine doing that with someone for a damn decade? That must be utterly painful.

I think we all know what the highlight of the episode was. ''Time is guilty!'', amirite? No, more seriously, damn. Just damn. That was one hell of a monologue. It was perfectly paced and just long enough to make us feel very unconfortable. What made us even more unconfortable was Andou reaction. He just couldn't believe it. He just couldn't accept that Hatoko have always been ''faking'' with him. He just couldn't accept that he have put such a pressure on her. It was such a shameful reaction, and he knows it.

His decision to push away Hatoko to help Tomoyo was a poor choice too. Not because he should choose her or whatever, just because of the context. You have that girl you just asked to cook for you tonight and you treat her like she owed it to you, that a bad move, bro.

Anyway, I may not be rooting for Hatoko, she sure is an interesting character and I sure feel bad for her. It's weird because normally, I'm always rooting for the childhood friend, but I don't know. I never felt a great chemistry between her and Andou that could lead to an interesting/cute romance, and this episode confirmed my suspicion.

Also her rant was amazing. Like truly powerful. Way to go whoever voices her....that was incredible.

*edit*

Still rooting for Hatoko, even though I doubt it will happen.....now that I think about it, I think this is the first time I've ever rooted for the childhood friend....

Are you fucking retarded? She's the opposite of self-entitled. It was explicitly stated that she felt guilty for not being able to understand him.

A young Jurai and Hatoko :3

Jurai's big sister sure is hot doe...

I guess Hatoko's jealous and... LOL... TIME IS GUILTY!!!

Damn, Hatoko just snapped and it took forever for her to finish...

Jurai just had to face the harsh reality of his and Hatoko's relationship :o

Damn, Hatoko has been captured by that guy with the eyepatch and his comrades.

The next stage of Sayumi's Route of Origin eh.

5/5

The setting of the narrative I liked since I started to understand it, SOL mixed with super powers, but the only drawback was the ubiquitous Andou who did not give enough space to the other protagonists.
At last there was (hopefully not the only) a small change in this scheme and as icing on the cake, we also received an interesting twist, which completes a very interesting episode.
Too bad for the quality of the designs a bit mistreated during the episode, except in the most important moments.
Animations of good standard.
I love the opening and the ending, funny and very catchy.

That performance is why Saori Hayami had been my favorite ever since I first heard her a long time ago. In terms of seiyuu performance that was the best voice acting I've heard since Miyuki Sawashiro confessing in Kokoro Connect.

Well I'd say that this time Andou deserves Hatoko's fury. The way he treated Hatoko just made me want to punch him to oblivion. It's a good thing to be considerate but there's also such thing as trying too hard to be considerate that you ignore/miss the one that's most obvious.

It's also about time the bad guys(?) arrive though I gotta say that was a good speech about Chuunibyou from that eye patch dude

Oh, my. Hatoko. She was raking right across the scars on my heart, with claws of memory not of my own making.

That was some of the best voice acting I have ever heard. I hope Saori Hayami will get awarded for this. I can only imagine the cost of her being Hatoko in this eternity that is 2:30 minutes.

I do not know how TRIGGER wants to top this, or even stay on the same level. Don't know if antagonists are a good idea, but I will keep watching.

Hatoko's rant is pretty much a straight up harsh criticism on the fandom and light novels in general. Simply an outstanding performance by Saori Hayami. This particular scene and her performance amplified my love for her.

finally some realistic females. This was refreshing as it moved away from the common anime reactions of characters. WOmen just bottle things up and play games, and men just dont have time for the mind games women play., hence the boiling point being reached by the girl. Still it was intense. I almost gave the show a 9/10 just for that lol pfffft lol oh well

Looks like the action is beginning.

When the word "childhood friend" was mentioned, I kind of got depressed because childhood friends never seem to win in harem romance scenarios. Hmm, maybe I'll be proved wrong.

Why? A bit late but kinda curious. It's his hobby, his life, he tried in the past to actually show it to her and she basically told him that she doesn't care/doesn't want to understand it.

She's the one who voluntarily keeps involving herself in all of it and the reason he isn't telling her this time around is because he gave a promise not to tell the others. Not like she has a right to know to begin with.
