This was a great episode. I'm really liking this anime along with some of the other new fall animes. I hope this lasts more than one season.

Don't worry, she's always here with Sasayan, you'll see a lot of Natsume.

This episode was amazing. They could end it on this episode and it would be awesome for me. I admit that the chicken part was a little odd to me, but it seems like animal interactions like that aren't unusual in anime with things like chicken coups on campus and adopt-a-cat-in-a-box rather common.

The new girl character is adorable and I'm actually kind of glad that shes a platonic friend instead of a jealous type or a distracting love interest for the male main. Same for the baseball guy. I would agree with some that the progression here is slow overall but from the romantic standpoint it's nothing short of amazing. A confession on both sides from the mains is uncommon. Usually early confessions go unrequited for a whole season, heh. That said, I'm also a bit glad that I was not bombarded with 10 different characters in the first episode or dealing with an arc shift every few episodes to keep the progression going.

Also, the animation in this episode seems a lot better. The art style didn't seem like it was going to be that great at first, but they did really well in this one. I'm not sure if I noticed it to be that well in the first episode. I wish they could maintain the sharpness of certain characters eyes when they weren't animated though.

so.. yup. favorite anime 2012, up there with nazo kanojo x definitely.

Really good ED i think. just the christmas-y feel to it matches with all the romance love love romance that this anime has. i'm sure we'll be seeing some christmas scenes possibly? idunno!

butyea, shizuku's confession was just.. man, if this show just continues like this idk. it'll definitely be a happy autumn for me

That chicken was for sure the funniest part of the episode! I've got "Chicken, chicken, chicken! Chicken, chicken!" stuck in my head now!

But what I love is that Haru's character is so consistent. It'll be interesting to see how he continues to interact with Shizuku and how their relationship develops now that both of them have confessed. So uncommon! Can't wait for the next episode!

I like so many things about this anime already I don't even know where to start! You make it more tempting for me to read the manga ahead of it now!

And I looked up the cast and I can clearly see Megane no Kana-chan and Yuuichi Onii-san already. I am so excited!

the last scene at the rooftops was my favorite.

I'm suprised at how fast this is going, but it really bothers me because if it is going at this rate, then the only direction it has to go is down

down as in the two arent going to be happy together for a time, but then in the end it will probably turn out alright

hopefully as a rating overall itll go up

I love this show! 5/5 for both episodes. Wow. It's going a great job on adapting it from the manga!

Like others said, it's not wasting its time and gets the job done very quickly. Lots of stuff happened in one episode, but I didn't feel like it was rushed at all.

Loving Natsume-chan. She's adorable and funny! I like her VA as well.

I seriously can't hear any Asuna (SAO) in Shizuka. =P Even if they have the same VA.

Another awesome episode, they really are adapting the manga well and i easily see this being the best Shoujo of the season, and if it hits its full potential it will likely be among the top of the season overall also.

wow I'm glad I gave this anime a chance. I think I found myself an unexpected gem of the season I think I would have missed it entirely if i didn't take a second glance. I love the style, humor, awkward, yet mellow feel to the anime. Love the animation too. Sounds kinda cheesey but anyone else gets this warm fuzzy feeling watching this and I'm a dude XD. Can't wait for the next episode

Looks like it will be a banner season for Shoujo romance. I've already raised my score for this one and it looks like it will continue to increase. I'm tempted to read a few more chapters of the original manga, just to get a bit ahead.

Loved the narration from ~21:00 onward about Shizuku growing her world, background noise becoming significant, and the sky being for once beautiful. Really heartfelt and motivational stuff. Reminded me of the Dr. Seuss quote:

Jesus I'm suprised how may people seem to not understand the fact romance stories can last past the start of the relationship. I mean my god do you watch nothing but anime with Tsundere in them? Lots of great love stories don't even start at the start of the relationship. This isn't rushed it all it is called a set-up meaning there is likely going to be more to the series than just them sitting at a table casually talking and denying there love for eachother like so so so so so so many other crapp anime that happened.


My thoughts exactly.

And I just adore how frank the characters are.

"I would totally do you."

"Don't fall in love with me! It'll be a hassle!" "Not ever going to happen."

And the times they called Natsume stupid without any hesitation. It's wonderful.

Both sides have confessed to each other within 2 episodes? That's pretty fast for any anime's standards.

Now the tough thing is actually having a relationship when their personalities are so different.
