| Loved it. Once I reached this part in the manga, I just couldn't stop reading, so I'm glad that the anime has retained the same feel. |
| Dat walk. |
 |
| I walk for walking. |
 |
| That walking scene reminded of that Haruhi episode "Someday in the rain". XD They walked slowly, hand in hand, for six minutes! And the lighting was superb. They really captured the mood and atmosphere of those early dawn hours, before morning sets in. I wasn't sure if I liked the artwork in this anime at first, but I fuckin love it now; and the sound effects in this episode were superb. Can't wait for the next episode! |

-Nanashi- said: I feel it's going to be just another unfinished anime without any plans to continue it. You are correct. That's exactly what it is. |
 |
| This was a very good episode. |
| Cartoons and anime is my reality. |

stb said: Anyone who has had the experience of holding someone's hand for the first time must surely recognize the slow time and the awkward-yet-intimate-silence that accompanies that activity. A beautifully done and very evocative scene, I thought. Presumably, most of the people complaining that it was too long at ~5 minutes have spent three or four hours watching a football game. I guess different people find different things engaging. Oh the 2deep4u card. Sure ,of course.Whatever floats your boat.... |
| This episode was crazy. I wonder how Saeki is gonna react? |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Maaaaaan tension was THICK up in this episode. I could barely breathe for the last few minutes -- that last scene! I could have died. Can't wait for more. Admittedly the extended walk was a cheap pull for time but it was beautifully done nonetheless and I understand how they may have wanted to keep a singular focus this episode, and indeed everything this ep after that was spot-on. Rarely have I been so enthralled by an anime. Just superb stuff. |

| OMG THAT WALK .......... |
| Skipped the first 7 minutes of the episode. The rest was awesome, the tension was real. I was getting scared for that guy about the changes he'll have to face. The anxiety he has about the consequences of what he did. Not able to sleep (proper), having a nervous breakdown when the consequences are near. Even after school, when he was near a wall, having the feeling of sickness and maybe some breathing problems are really relate-able to when I did something bad and when I was seen as the quiet good boy but then everything could change because of what you did. That fear of that change was well displayed during this episode. |
| I fell asleep midway through that walk. |
| Gotta love how people here are all just talking about the "walking scene" and not really getting the point. To me, it didn't feel long at all, it felt like a minute or something. I thought it suited the end of the last episode really well and it was pretty brave of the animators to include such a scene. The music fitted the tone well and the rest of the episode was pretty thrilling as well. Definitely looking forward to the rest. |

I felt exactly the same, the scene felt pretty short in comparison to how long it actually took. Definitely a highlight of the show and how well it was done. Whelp, he finally got his confession out to Saeki, maybe not the way he envisioned but it's out there. |
 |
| everything eventually becomes uncovered and truth shows itself from the side and person you haven't thought would do this....poor Saeiki -san but this phycological drama tragedy drags me in more and more with every episode |
 |
| Is there aaany dialogue this episode? These guys walk slower than turtles >.> I'm not even 10 minutes in and I'm already bored. Make it stoooop ;w; |
| I really liked the walking scene.... Showed how detached from reality the two characters were at that point. Some A grade psychos right there. |
| Wow... They walked |

| Slightly too much walking for my liking, but I still enjoyed the atmosphere. As for the ending... it had to happen at some point, sooner or later. |
  |
| That was some serious walking. Like Mushishi or something. It's like they want you to watch this on acid, which would be an awful idea.. |
| The ending of this ep was interesting with Saeki figuring it out and not wanting to break up with him. The walking scene was effective but just too long. |
| So Kasuga finally got what he wanted, that is to reveal his wrong doing to Saeki only... |
| Somehow this long walking sequence felt hypnotizing. One might say it was boring, but I don't think of it this way. It was rather an accurate depiction of two exhausted people just after they vented out all their emotions. |
