insan3soldiern said: Well done episode Agreed. Hope it continues to deliver as strong as it has thus far. |

| Plenty of development and just plain awesome in general. Pretty much what I was expecting. The metronome scene towards the end was almost too cool. |
 |
| so we've got 2 love stories now. ; 3 |

| Wait Kuze dying? Where the hell did that come from? I know the time thing hinted and all...I was guessing if he had some kind of a cardiac condition but DYING is a bit too soon people. Don't depress me. |
 |
| Ok so I am guessing Himura's sister died in a fire and that watch is the last memory he has of her....guessing also that Yuuko likes him since since he is her first love she did not give up that love even if the separation was long. Mizuki falling with Kuze is strange since it was purely because of music and on top of that the guy has a obvious illness....guessing it has to do with the heart...if it's terminal then that love will be long lost when he dies...guessing the Metronome thing is like a regulator mentally for him and does he have split personality withing himself from this part=>  On the other hand art keeps impressing me in the ways things are shown like this part=> |

DeathfireD said: errr my worst nightmare for this series has come true. F you Mizuki for making me dread watching this now! With that said, everything else was great. I agree with miyachan about Kuze having some form of Cardiac Arrhythmia. Although I wouldn't say it's something to shake off or dismiss as none threatening, it can be very life threatening. Kuze could drop dead and go into cardiac arrest at any moment from being over excited. I'm guessing this is why he cut his ties with women and lives isolated (for the most part). Yu's story seems to have been revealed a bit. Not sure if this is 100% correct but here goes. 1) He was an orphan 2) Was good friends with an orphan girl. 3) Fire brakes out at orphanage and girl dies. 4) Yui becomes heart broken and isolates himself from love, affection, and possibly even people. 5) He meets Yuko, who appears to look exactly like the girl who died in the fire. She constantly follows him and calls him brother. 6) a few years later they meet again in high school. She confesses that he is her first love. She also somehow knows about the watch/fire. I'm guessing she may have been related to the girl in the orphanage. A family probably only wanted one kid so she was picked, leaving her sister behind with Yui. Pretty spot on. Im not as captivated by this season as the first one. We'll see if it gets better. |
| interesting 2nd episode. still nothing that has really drawn me in yet though. i hope it does next ep. |
| Interesting episode, the backstory was quite nice and the ending was quite interesting as well but something doesn't feel right for now, lets see what's next! Nice ED! |
 |
| What the heck is wrong with young Yu's voice, he sounds like he swallowed a flute. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| ahh I see.. I started to understand who is the girl called yuuko now :3 okay episode.. and mizuki :3 |
| Maybe I'm just getting used to this style, but so far, I somehow like this season more than the previous one. It seems more serious (may I even say darker?), and the wholeheartedness with which they created those stunning visuals (including effects and timing) is almost palpable. The funny parts (like the scene where Kuze-san is being dragged on the floor) are fitting well, and it's just the right amount for me. The ecchi-ish scenes are not crossing any borders on my side either. Yuuko is pretty impressive as a character. I liked her in the previous season as well. The OP and ED are also somewhat better but I'm still not a fan of them. |
| What's the point of all this? // There's no point. I'm doing it because I can. That's all there is to it. // What will be left behind after this? // Nothing at all. She'll die and I'll burn out. The end. That's all. (Requiem for the Phantom) |
| Nice episode c: |
 |
| Dafuq are those faces. My Brain hurts from watching this series |
| Kuze, play the violin. Why not? That random confession lol. |
| So far I don't really like it... Moving really slow and although the animation is beautiful, a lot of it is being used in excess IMO. We'll see maybe I'll change my mind soon, I guess the story does have to be developed before it can proceed |
| well that confession at the end was not unexpected I hope this season isn't focused around him |
 |
| Are Kuze an illness? It was a mystery. Yuu had a traumatic past? I think this series will equal the previous series, there are two ways in which different story, namely Kuze-Mizuki and Yuuko-Yuu. Btw, opening and closing songs are not much different from the previous series. Nothing too exciting, but have characteristic. |

| himura yuuko arc is great damn kuze scores again burning letters, even from nagi? damn playboy this show is growing strong so far only renji appears out of all the mcs of memories, wish can see more cameos beautiful end art/ep preview of mizuki |
  |
| Who's gonna have sex first this time, I wonder. |
 |
| So they both were in an orphanage and Yuu had a sister...I like it that Yuuko stills in love with Yuu. |
 |
| Part of me thinks is cute, but the other part hopes its one sided. There seems to be a very big age gap between Mizuki and Kuze. Maybe if she was seventeen or something. Either way, her crush on Kei disappeared pretty quickly, lol. I'm a bit disappointed that the other characters aren't going to appear, though I suppose that's because their story has been concluded. I wish there'd been a bit more of a conclusion with Renji and Chihiro and Kei and Kyosuke, though. One was unclear and the other was unfinished. I'm hoping we'll see some of them, though. Anyway, as for Yuuko making Yuu "forget," I'm still convinced that Yuu has magical powers or something. I originally thought she was some sort of spirit who took the form of a paper airplane, lol. Well, at least now we know the significance of paper airplanes now. |

| erm....after watching a true romance series days ago (Lamune)...that I love you seemed...pushed...lol dunno if i can hold with this until the end...it still keeps me enough to move on but it's bland...not everything that tries to look deep is that deep. It just tries too hard, as the Ef~memories.. 3/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Another 2 Love stories happening at the same time. Thats ef for ya. I thought Mizuki is all on the way for Kei but she chose Kuze. Im more interested on Mizuki romance than Yuuko. 3.1/5 |
 |
| Loved the flashbacks. |
 |
| Yeah something has to be wrong with Kuze....he's the Chihiro of this show it seems like. |
 |
| Is it just me or is Mizuki is much different (and worse) character than in the first season? I mean we barely got anything out of her but still. And being in love with Kuze, who's much older, after knowing him for like 2 days is so unbelievably boring. Well the other story seems interesting anyway. |
| ngl I thought we would get the love confessions near the end of the show, not now xD |

| ef - a tale of melodies feels like an anime about characters whom detest things that they have, and desire things they can't obtain. As they stand to forever lose the things that they have, they'll struggle to retain them. Or, as they get close to obtaining things they thought they couldn't attain, they flee. For the former, it feels like the characters take for granted the things they have, kicking them around like a wounded puppy, expecting the puppy to constantly crawl back just to get kicked again. Conversely, the latter feels like the characters prefer chasing unobtainable things, but are scared of what happens after finally obtaining what they desired. In a way, its frustrating to watch these characters constantly struggle with understanding what they expect from others and themselves. |
