Still snoring my way through this, but don't worry! It seems an "unexpected" illness is coming.

LOL !!

Who would have thought a White Album2 parody will make its way to the official franchise of White Album2 as a password (and teaching material) in the anime??

LOL

Hmmm... mind telling me what parody you're talking about?

So far I'm very impressed with how well everything is being presented. At the start of the episode particularly, you can see how upset Setsuna is, and what it feels like to her without ever feeling exaggerated or over the top. The realism here is amazing and I can't wait to see how things play out when we get to some heavier drama, be it this season or the next (I'm assuming we will have more drama at least.)

Really good cinematography and directing in the beginning when they were talking on the bridge. If only Nodame Cantabile had this animation and top notch quality... Also, phone scene was nice. Still, Setsuna reminds me of Orihime (Bleach) so much but a bit different in terms of pushiness.


super agree. Besides from awesome writing and characters...the cinematography I feel is the best trait of wa2. It really sets the tone and captures the mood. Reminds me of moods that wong kar wais films capture

I have trouble focussing on this for some reason... Maybe the pace is a bit too slow for my liking.

I love how their phone conversation wasn't predictable. Meaning... When she said the bit about her jealousy.... There was no oblivious answer that an anime male protagonist is prone to "What?" "Oh it's nothing".... Etc etc.

Anyone knows if this one will have 2 seasons? Because I really think 13 episodes won't be enough to fit at least one end route in WA2: closing chapter.

Good episode as always by the way!


It's only going to be the Introductory Route for the reason you said.
Cant wait as it pales in comparison to Closing Chapter and Coda. That's where the masterful writing was in the VN.

Yes! Can't wait

Enjoyable episode, really thought that Ogiso would really get more angry than depressed, but I liked how she actually had a mature conversation with Kita and were able to even get closer because of this entire situation.

It doesn't make me happy to see Touma faint like that, hopefully this is nothing serious...

Oh shit, that ending.

Also, it just struck me now but in the end, one of the two girl will have her heart broken :(

Setsuna jalousy and insecurity was adorable. I'm glad that the misunderstood is over, but I guess it will not be the only misunderstanding...

I don't really understand why that partition book is so important for her. I guess we'll know in the future.

The ending before the credit was heartwarming :3

I really like that Touma sucks at school. You rarely see that with the female characters, and NEVER with the cool sophisticated talented prodigy ones.

I think I enjoyed that episode a lot less than nearly everyone else here. The toothbrush deal seemed melodramatic to me. Why exactly did Haruki/Touma need to tell her he was sleeping over at Touma's? I mean, I know she has a crush on him, but it really does strike me as jealous and clingy with how she reacted. Sigh. -.-

While I don't care for Haruki's belittling of Setsuna's... incident (much less call it his fault), I am glad he was big enough to overlook it and forgive her. The "Call me Setsuna" thing on the phone was cute... at school it felt more like she was marking her territory, which I didn't like. She tried to get Touma to call her that too, which helped take off the edge, but overall I'm finding myself disliking her character now (whereas I liked it quite a bit before). I hope she has some character development and grows past the clingy stuff.

I didn't care for Touma's incident either, but again, she strikes me as a bittered person. Keep in mind that while I'm criticizing the characters, I'm not condemning them. She really does strike me as a caring person. She's just got some deep crap she needs to deal with, so I guess I can sympathize with her more.

I appreciate Haruki and Setsuna's gesture of goodwill at the end, but does skipping class themselves send the right message? I'm not sure whether that's right or not, so I'll withhold there. They meant well, in any case.

I think it's more a moral values dissonance that turned me off to this episode than anything. Maybe I'm being a bit too sensitive to the drama. Idk. Characterization and technical quality was still top-notch, though. I hope I enjoy the next episode more.

Pointless drama created by a pointless misunderstanding by the general thickness of retard characters. How drool.

The only redeeming thing this show can do now is make a character suffer for my growing sadistic tendencies

That promise looks like it's going to turn into something ugly. Also, it seems like the club will have to cope with Touma's illness. Decent episode

That promise. I feel like something is going to happen. Something not good.

I usually never comment on OST but this episode it was really prevalent.

The farther this series goes Setsuna goes down the scale and Touma goes up for me. Setsuna was really possesive this episode. She's start belittling Haruki. Call me by my first name! Even Haruki wasn't comfortale doing that. Her jelousy is getting the best of her.

That ending after the ED. Touma collapsed! Hopefuly she's okay.

The episode did not seem so exhaling during the narration we focused on shaping the link between Setsuna and the protagonist, showing the usual bickering between friends or nearly so, who wants to hear.
I was a bit bored and not even the final minutes I have involved much. Drawings and animations quite sufficient in quality, let's see if the next episode will be more exciting.

Oh noez, will Touma get sick and miss out the concert?! no she won't because we saw her on stage in the very first episode ;_;

Also, Setsuna seems REALLY possesive, with this forced "call me by the first name", getting mad over something pretty small like toothbrush, repeating lines like "let's stay friends forever" after being together for like a week, I mean ugh. I hope she won't get all Kotonoha by the end of this series :|

I love how Setsuna reveals her true personality here, and I like how she already knows how Haruki and Kazusa feel about each other, it's very nice how they handle all the nuances of their relationship, to the point where you can see their intentions purely based on how they act. I love how Kazusa protects Haruki's notebook like it's the most precious treasure of her life, you can see love right there. The promise between Setsuna and Haruki is also a very important aspect of the series, Setsuna knows that she will be left out if she doesn't do anything about their relationship, all she wants is for the three of them to stay together, happily ever after. Well, we all know how that ends, sadly.

Damn did Setsuna really have to attack the dude's looks?

Kinda surprised the teacher just let Touma leave, not to mention Kaizaki, one of the school's top students, follow after.
