ZOMG Whisper of the Heart reference made me so happy! Its my fav Ghibli movie, and I've never seen it parodied anywhere, so it was soooo cool to see that.

The first episode was good but this one was even better! The over-thinking part was funny, and what Yuu said at the end and Tomoko's reaction were great. :D I think I'm just enjoying Tomoko's generally cynical outlook on life, it's surprisingly relatable. :P

Also, between this and Non Non Biyori, I'm quite liking Silver Link's work from what I've seen so far. The animation (for example during the arcade game Tomoko was playing) was very nice to look at.

QFT. It seems the people that don't like it can't sympathize with the MC, which is where the disconnect happens. Those of us who have been anti-social for periods and or have gone through hikikomori phases can appreciate this much more, both the comedic aspects, and the tragic.

The atmosphere in the anime, not as depress as the mange, it's more comedish...
The yuriness is stronger in anime, too...until Yuu-chan reveal that she has a fight with her boyfriend.

Episode was great. Tomoko runs into some fat boy who then has to stay after school with her and draw. Fat boy finishes first and then Tomoko draws the fat boy. But then Tomoko sees his drawing and wants to keep it. Later on, when it's Saturday, Tomoko meets Yuu and is horrified by how much Yuu has changed. They drink coffee together and talk about anime. Then they go to an arcade and Tomoko goes beast mode on one of the games in the arcade. Then they play and eventually leave. They sit in the park and talk for a little while and then Tomoko tells Yuu to do her best, then Yuu mentions she got in a fight with her boyfriend and then Tomoko is shocked once again. Then she blocks out Yuu's voice with Yandere Boys music. I'm looking forward for more! Onto the next episode!

With all the buildup of Yuu and Tomoko's friendship, I thought they were gonna go for a heartwarming ending, but when they pulled the boyfriend joke, that was really, really funny. I laughed even harder when Tomoko began to put her headphones back on.

Also, the aftercredits scene was funny. "This is the face I can draw the fastest."

Suddenly I heard HanaKana's voice.... she's really everywhere.

Lol, Kuroki's standard became very low that she goes dere dere towards that guy.

I'm impressed on how relatable she is to viewers that they can only talk about anime rather than normies stuff. I love her!

I feel bad for her that her picture is not "for" her but because he can't draw anything else lol.

That ending finished her!
Her friend has a boyfriend, I doubt that we will see her again.

Oh, Tomoko. You are such a believably sad character. She pukes out of anxiety. She thinks about events that won't happen for a year with intense thought and gets anxious over them. She imagines she will get attention, negative or positive, despite getting neither like in the eating scene, or in the mcdonalds scene. She believes people to be cruel, or dumb, or not worth her time and misses all the wonderful people in the world because of it, often acting more cruel to them than they would ever to her. She makes a big deal out of everything, overthinking about portraits of her, how people view her, and her jealous thoughts that she projects onto others. She intentionally goes to places that let her feel like she's above the people there like a book store, and even seems to have been friends with Yuu for a similar reason. She enjoys listening to abusive yandere CD tapes to escape from reality, most likely because it gives her an outlet of unconditional love that she thinks its otherwise unachievable. She escapes into everything including food and games and anime, and she brings what she knows from her fantasies into real life. She's being stupid and overthinking everything, however being an anxious, awkward, unhappy teen who strives for acceptance but rejects the world for not accepting her isn't an easy thing to realize.

I think the scene where she called her classmates promiscuous to some degree, and then fantasized about getting beaten and raped to lose her virginity shows how she rejects those for getting what she wants but feels impossible to get. She projects that these girls, because she is jealous, are sluts, idiots, or any other variation of insults, when in reality I think she just wants to be like them. She had a moment that she thought about having a life with the guy who drew a portrait of her and it reminded me of my younger myself, thinking so far ahead in life to see if it's the way you want to go, and exaggerating all the poor details of it. She even wrote a list of things to talk about because she's so unconfident in being herself.

Seeing her get along with Yuu was interesting. Tomoko was finally given a chance to be herself however briefly it was and it was nice. Yuu seems to have went the route of conforming past where she is comfortable, and Tomoko stayed too close to her middle school self. They together can meet in the middle! Sadly, I wonder if the fact that Yuu has a boyfriend will make Tomoko's envious feelings abandon her.

I watched for a cringe comedy, or a cute anime, or both, and what I'm getting is an interesting character study of the misunderstood, overly anxious, escapist teenager who rejects reality. It's a bit heavy.

Damn, that was good!

Tomoki's anguish in the end there after Yuu-chan's big reveal plus the hilarious ED was just the perfect combo. But that's not all, the boy (fatso) draws all female characters the same xD. Ignorance is bliss, I see.

Tomoki and her imaginations took a notch this episode but they're just bloody hilarious. I can't wait to see how much darker the humor is going to get with time, lol.

Op song is seriously catchy...

Talk about a glow up. Yuu-chan seemed to be troubled as well and yeah, just because you fit in doesn't necessarily mean that you ain't having a hard time in your own way, but her kind of troubles turned out to be salt in Motoko's wounds xD The fact that the manga guy can't draw other faces and didn't give a fuck was overkill. Good thing she never learned about that.

This was a pretty hilarious episode again and lol @ Yamcha death reference

She wanted to impress her old friend. She even thought that her friend was the same as before, but woah, that big change for her old friend though. And not only just that, she already made a boyfriend in less than three months! From geek girl to common girl. What a glowup!

I feel bad for Kuroki... she's unlucky, like me. I hope she'll at least be able to get some friends in high school.

So Tomoko goes to see a friend she had in middle school. At first, it's like wait a tick, she had friends? But then again, they obviously had to have bonded over something (I'm guessing anime/manga). Come to find out when Tomoko meets Yuu though the latter had a bit of a glow up.

Well, "Being ugly is a choice" as my brother would say from time to time. But she hasn't changed much on the inside/personality wise. They both had fun and it's always nice to just spend time with someone y'know? Tomoko did get a bit pissy when Yuu mentioned she has a boyfriend lol
