Interesting how in the shipping arguments - this girl is better that girl is better - one thing is disregarded - what Linda feels/felt for Banri ? Was it just friendship for her or something more ?



I totally understand what you are saying

Wow they skipped a lot of stuff from the manga :O They've caught up to the English scans I think (chapter 18?) and went past. Not sure how to feel about this since I originally started the reading the manga first, so it feels like this was a super rushed episode. I haven't read the LN though, anyone who has, was this faithful to it or did it skip some stuff? Lol nvm, person above me answered it :)

I've never thought Banri was annoying until this episode, where he irked me a little with his catharses (one with Kouko kinda, and the other with Linda). I kind of wish the manga route because I feel like it's one or two episode too soon for this drama. But still, it was enjoyable as I was really surprised at his outbursts.

As to the confession this early in the series, well I don't think they are on solid ground by any means. Neither of them knows what it is like to be in a mature relationship. Banri was really pretty dependent on Linda, and she was more like a big sister than a girlfriend. Kaga was emotionally dependent on Mitsuo and has a lot to learn about what a relationship is really all about. I think there will be some roadblocks and obstacles before we reach the happy ending.

Yeah definitely agree here, honestly I have a tiny doubt that this relationship will last (maybe Linda still has a chance?) or that there will be many conflicts coming up.


Yes, according to the LN, it was a bit rushed so people might have to actually reread the LN like me to analyze the part between Linda x Banri. - If you want more details, second half of the episode 6 is in

I was kind of hoping we'd see Linda's reaction to Banri wearing their class shirt during their club practice but oh well, it still worked out.

Reaaaally fast-paced. Here we go with all the Linda awkwardness. I feel so bad for her now :(

Now this is what we were waiting for, right? Right?!

Banri was like a real man in this episode. I liked it how he dumped Kouko's friendship and made her confess. She must have realized that he is more than just a friend in her life!

Linda lost her chance on the day when the Tada Banri from the past died. I cannot think she can ever get another chance now that Kouko has confessed.

The new Banri is way cooler from his old self. Finally I am enjoying the anime. 5/5 for the episode and bumped the overall series rating to an 8/10. I really cannot wait to see where they take the anime from here since their feelings are mutual now. :)

Like other people have have said, the music was a bit loud during certain parts while the dialogue was a bit quiet.

The Yes and No fan thing was pretty clever. I didn't expect for them to use it when Banri told Koko he no longer wanted to be friends.

Poor Linda :(
I kind of understand Banri though because he was just considered friends by both girls but jumping in hope of getting amnesia again was a bit far. They showed that he was a bit emotional unstable before getting amnesia and I guess he's reverting to his older self as he gains more of his memories. Though I think it was hinted that the amnesia wasn't real or maybe I'm reading too deeply into what Banri said.

I wouldn't be surprised if Koko lied at the end because she didn't want to lose him as a friend and will grow to love him later on. There's a possibility that Mitsuo will get jealous of Banri, Linda may become jealous of Koko. Then there's Chinami, I have no idea what her role will be later on.

Personally Linda is my favorite girl, but she will most likely lose in the end and will probably find someone else.

Who the fuck is in charge of this adaptation?
They skipped around 8 MONTHLY manga chapters, and almost the entire 2nd VOLUME of the Light Novel.
And to change the location and circumstance where Banri confronts Linda. Like WOW, how can you think the club building is a better fit for such a tense moment? Jeebus.

Seriously, what the fuck Director, what the fuck are you doing.

Personally, showing how hes emotionally unstable before must have referred to as "You were a bomb" "I didnt know what to do" " I didn't want to lose you again" type of thing shows how much Linda actually cared for him - which
. It's one of those things in life you know. How should I put it in a less negative way - Snooze you lose kind of thing. If you know what I meant... You had the opportunity and chance, but you didn't take it. Time to move on... Which makes me really sympathize for Linda because I really believe she knew what she did wrong and she was hoping she could have had a second chance when she saw Banri in Tokyo for the first time.

this episode just COMPL3TELY stole all of my heart! <3

ThisIsNotMyName said:
Woah,

So after watching ToraDora (which for some reason, I still want to see more Taiga) I found Golden Time, a light novel/anime done by the some person, so I had some pretty high expectations going into this.

In Toradora, I could kind of predict who was to end up with who, but Golden Time is completely different so far

It can go either way, the MC either chooses the love he can't remember or a new love.

All I know is that I can not even begin to predict who he is going to pick
and I've said it here before but this anime is so good because it's so real. it's true to so many feelings I've felt on both sides, hell, all sides! all the emotions are drawn out so damn well!


...edit.

I have this feeling that Linda's answer was a 'No' but after High School and when she has been observing him in college + the time that has passed and a lot of changes means emotional differences = she might love him now but not before.

Great episode. Tada didn't hold back when it came to telling Kaga how he really feels about her. Quite a sad moment between Linda and Tada at the end. Kaga confessed her love for Tada at the end which was nice.

I really didn't expect that confession so soon.. Though is she just saying that to get Banri back in her life or does she truthfully mean it.
I do wonder what Linda's response would have been if she had made it there earlier.. and if the feelings are the same.

Wow, this episode skyrocketed my interest in this anime. The scenes with each respectable heroine were enjoyable and drama filled. Shxt got real pretty fast as drunk Koko sobered up.

Pre-Amnesia Banri might have been a crybaby but he scored some serious alpha points when he changed the status quo. He basically did what people in real life never have the resolve to do when in the friend zone.

Monologue at the end was deep but not on Oregairu levels. Confession at the end was unexpected as I was thinking he was going to fall into the river, alluding to how he fell off the bridge the first time.

re-watching this episode, Tada is now in control. both Linda and Koko are now falling for him because his character is changing drastically. Linda will NOW fall for Baka Banri when she only use to see him as a friend and Koko will now fall for Tada because he's got his shit together and is on his way out. Koko can't deal w/another separation. but the real question is how Tada Banri will deal after all of this. there needs some thinking time and time for these emotions to settle in.

the most beautiful part about this is that Tada Banri has both girls now but he's not the same.

Well Banri had a pretty immature/selfish reaction in his two major scenes with the girls before the climax. I suppose its to be expected however due to his young age and his erratic emotional state due to his past.

Should be very interesting to see how the next episode goes and how Banri acts after these dramatic revelations.

Nothing convincing this episode to make me like Kouko (again).

Linda's story is much more interesting, her inner struggle is certainly better than Kouko's self-serving whims for a center to the story. Might have to pick up the LN if there really is more depth to this section in it (Linda-wise).

Sadly, it feels like Linda is going to be kicked to the curb next episode.

It felt very rushed. In less than three episodes Tada confesses, gets rejected and friendzoned, gets fed up with said friendzone, and then gets confessed to by Kaga. I didn't expect the Linda situation to blow up so quickly either.

While I wouldn't have minded it happening a little slower, the last scene was great and I am looking forward to seeing what direction the anime will take. I wasn't expecting them to actually start dating until at least the half way point.

Best episode of any anime for this week so far.

Couldn't blame Banri at all for shunning Koko. Considering she knew how he felt. It was pretty much rubbed in his face that she was still all about Yana.

I know he will probably wind up with Koko properly by the end but I'm really interested in seeing how Linda will fit into this whole thing as she has been my favourite character so far.

I felt really sad watching this episode, especially when seeing how Banri was hurting being Kouko like that and also the whole mess with Linda. For him to become close and love someone but get turned down and still stay by their side is so tough and even though he can't remember that experience with Linda, I bet his heart remembers that pain.

Omg! That ending was just great and my mood did a complete 180! YES!!! I am so glad Kouko realized how important Banri is to her. I'm not sure if she loves him properly yet but she will get there and it'll be so nice. :)

Overall excellent episode. I see this getting even better!

Wait what do u mean by 6 chaps to go? Are u saying there's only 6 chap left from the light novel to be adapt to the anime? Or by 6 chap u mean 6 episode left? This is a 2 cour anime. And also, for those who read the light novel what volume is the anime at right now? there is like 7 vol + 2 side story of the novel iirc right
