Vat a twist! I love how fast paced this anime is, it covers so many things in one episode, the relationship development is great! At first he felt bad for her, and dated her though pity, now he actually likes her a lot, and she gets fucked up by a car, how awesome!
I cannot wait until the next episode, I hope it covers a lot like the first two.

Yep great character development and great concept. These two episodes could have been the first half of a movie actually, it's incredibly well-written and directed...

Even though I knew it was going to happen, when Haruka got hit I froze for a minute. It was incredibly well done.

I'm really loving this anime in the first two episodes, I like when they show a development of a relationship.
But I really didn't like Mitsuki behavior in this one, when she held him back on his way to his date, even before we knew of the accident!

When I see a romance story progressing quickly, I know something big has got to happen. Still, they caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting the car accident, nor was I expecting the big thing to happen in episode 2.

Well done, though. I look forward to watching the rest of this series.

Wow, intense episode. I'm starting to like this series even more and more. It's so fast paced. Character development in each episode is awesome indeed.

I hope Suzumiya is okay. It was well made. 5/5

This was so TT_TT I am completely depressed from this. How can it be after Takayuki had deflowered Haruka to have this happen...such bad luck. He should have not waste time with his stupid friend and Mistuki....the music added even more of a effect. This is bad...really bad!

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Dude it's just the 2nd ep and they're already that deep in to the relationship?...okay

I blame that chick with the blue hair for the accident because if she had just let him go and meet up with her then she would have never got hit by that car. Grr.....damn her and her hair.

Does anyone else noticed that almost every female has at least a single strand of hair sticking up???...that's kind of weird...

Such a sad turn of events...very relieved with the storyline though. I was beginning to have flash backs to a certain other show which I still have yet to finish...not sure I ever will, darn Makoto...

Anyhow, serious twist of events, great show so far, I look forward to see how it turns out.

So he missed their date twice because of Hayase. I'm still wondering if he really likes Haruka of if he is with her just to get closer to Hayase or/and possibly not wanting to make Haruka feel bad. Seems too much that he likes Hayase instead. I already feel bad for Haruka, though, even without the accident, does not seem like her heart will not be broken during the series.

Before Haruka and Takayuki had sex, I believe he was still more in love with Mitsuki, but afterwards, their relationship changed and Haruka was slightly more important to him.

lol@ people blaming Mitsuki, its called "life" or "script" for entertainment purposes, Mitsuki didn't do it on purpose. If you want to hate someone, hate the person who drove that car, it crash through few telephone booths as well. Horrible Driver~

I was expecting an accident or life threatening situation, but not this soon. this one fast paced anime... And what the hell is that friend of hers butting in asking him to buy a ring for her. she said she'd be more honest with her feelings, then why not directly confront it. I'd call it fault on hers, if there was any fault to be given at all. I kind of hate her for that after claiming how important Haruka is for her. F***tard move.

It's pretty fast paced, but I think they did a really good job of building the climax to the end.

Pretty sad though :(, and it completely caught me off guard not thinking a main character like Haruka would be gone this early the series :'(

I usually prefer slow-paced animes, especially when they are Slice of Life-ish, but this pulls is off very well; as most have mentioned, there’s more stuff going on in these two episodes than some animes pulls off in a whole season.

I’ve the same fear, I’m just waiting for the final blow and I think I’m prepared for it, but… Shit, animes such as “School Days” really crushed me and I thought I was prepared for that one; I guess I will be unprepared for this one as well…

I must say that I loved Clannad, but I fully grasp what you’re aiming at. Clannad lost a great part of its “down to earth” feeling when they introduced that concept, or I personally lost the connection to it, because everything up to that point felt so real, despite have some other supernatural stuff going on.

And I do hope that this one stays as realistic as School Days, not implementing magic and such. Sure, you can say that the dementia in School Days is unrealistic, but hell… Some people have gone mad from far less important stuff.

Edit
BTW, have no one else noticed how nice the flow of the art and animation is..? (Read my post in e01 for a better explanation, but I can't understand why no one else seem to have noticed it)

Well, the synopsis had ruined it for me by saying some "tragedy" happens, but I wasn't sure who it was that would actually die. This episode, Suzumiya was just setting off so many Death Flags. Both of those thing put together slightly ruined the effect of her death.

It looked like Takayuki was starting to like her as well :/

I think they went a little fast with almost having sex, but I love the twist at the end. She got into a freaking accident. I feel bad for Hayase cause she seems to like Narumi too, but I like Haruka and him more. Also, I think it was too fast paced. I feel there should have been at least one more episode to develop their feelings. I think it'll feel unnatural later on in the anime.

Yep, because of Mitsuki bringing up her birthday out of the blue he was late and this happened...

Poor Haruka, such a sweet girl. Takayuki will probably hate himself for the rest of his life now :(

Okay, first, I just wanna say that I am pissed off at the MC. He made his girlfriend wait for him because of ANOTHER GIRL not once, BUT TWICE!! You should not make your girlfriend wait, dude. If you are running late cause of work or something, then that's one thing, but to INTENTIONALLY make her wait because you are seeing another girl? WTF? Not only that, though, but he buys the other girl A RING? Dude.

Secondly, I think Haruka's accident scene was done really well, it was incredibly emotional, especially seeing everyone's reactions in the credits, you could just FEEL the guilt. I hope the MC makes some smarter decisions in the series from now on, but I doubt it because this IS a romantic drama anime. I just hope he doesn't fall down to Makoto's levels... >__>

Oh damn! "There was an accident"... that's the "oh no!" moment that wipes that happy romance smile off your face. Then it really hits when they tell you what you already know as they go into the credits. Outstanding use of shock-factor.

Akane's teasing was amusing too. They almost got busted.

Is it bad of me to hope Haruka dies? She is really boring. Though I think that won't happen, I guess the rest of the anime will be about MC getting together with Mitsuki and overcoming the guilt and then Haruka wakes up and drama ensues.
