| At this rate, I'm pretty sure we'll get to see Kisara in her yandere-mode face at least once every episode. I mean, that reaction to seeing Ayano in her casual outfit...lol Looks like the story this episode involves a monster causing a power outage problem. Not going to lie though, I felt underwhelmed by this episode compared to the previous two. However, I am more curious about Ayano's past now... |
 |
| Episode wasn't as intriguing as the past few episodes but it was still entertaining, a new monster was introduced and Kisara is apparently turning her Yandere mode into one of her only character traits that she has majority of the time now. Ayano's past though seems more interesting then everything else going on if I am being honest though.  |
|
| Exchange power with your precious memories. Honestly, I don't like this kind of concept. I wish there will be some way for Shuu to regain his memories in the end because don't want him to lose his memory, especially his memory while he was staying with Ayano. At this point, he will forget about everything in the final battle for sure. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Bro like why every episode looking the same thing right from the first minute to the last. Beat the monsters, deal with harem and repeat. Also he loses memory everytime he kisses? Well that's kinda unfortunate lol. |
 |
| Shuu past must have been tough hope we gonna see more of it. Kisara rage mode sheez wtf only because she see ayano i a casual outfit. I don’t know but damn he is good at sniping. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Everytime Kisara uses her power Shuu loses part of his memory? Damn. Now we know how he lost his memory. Respect for the guy, for not stopping at anything to achieve his goal and protect his loved one.

 |
| Now i am sad that Shuu has to lose a part of his memory to give power to Kisara |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
| Hmm, so he loses memories everytime he gives her power. I guess that makes the show and Shuu more interesting. |
 |
| this anime is pretty boring |
| Shit, depressing ending incoming..I see where losing memories is going. lol |
| Honestly this would have worked out as well without the memory loss part but nah drama writing here we again. But we are only 3 episodes in and the overal tone of the show is implied to be way more positive and fun so I believe this doesn't go down the depressing route with an ending where some of them dies |
| I knew it was physically impossible for Maruto to not make his stories depressing. Also, the final sequence with Ayano broke my heart. This show let me down in the last two weeks, but this week's episode was fantastic. |

Escape0707 said: fisty123 said: This will start to be hard for me to watch, memory loss is a pet hate of mine unless it's done before a series starts. I struggle to enjoy anything with this type of setup these days. It's a good touch that he wants to protect the one he loves but I don't think I will be in a rush anytime soon to watch the rest each week. As an Asian audience, I'd say you heard of Maruto, Fumiaki by his other hard to play galgame like White Album 2, which is an absolute masterpiece. Be ready for the plot to go toward the deep, hard and depressing side of relationships, so long as they start to show this genre starting from Ep.3. Lol what does being Asian have anything to do with WA2 being critically acclaimed? |
|
| agree that it's definitely more intriguing now with shuu's backstory, his twisted motivations and way more complicated love triangle as we initially thought |
| Great episode! They had to cancel and redo the auction as the conditions have changed to capture it alive and retrieve the core... The outfit Ayano wore earlier is the one she wore on their first date Kisara told Shu. Kisara and Shu beat the caterpillar monster. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
Escape0707 said: theassholeofmal said: Lol what does being Asian have anything to do with WA2 being critically acclaimed? XD because there is a huge wave of meme around WA2 in China and most people who are not into Galgame only know of this game and Mr.Maruto because of the meming. The meme is mostly about Kazusa and Setsuna's fans attacking each other in a far too serious and hilarious way. “冬马小三，雪菜bitch” Ah I remember that. Apparently the intensity of these arguments was so bad, that not even political arguments were this toxic. Is this also why bilibili doesn't stream WA2, despte streaming WA 2008? Also, what does 小三 mean? I'm curious to know how small and three is an insult in Chinese. |

Three stands for “the third party” in an already developed relationship. Small is just part of the insult lol. 小三 in Chinese and 泥棒猫 in Japanese means homewrecker. Bilibili do stream WA2, too. But recently the censorship is getting way too stressful and pissed me off. Can you believe that they have to cut out Kaguya sama’s kiss scene to get it pass the censoring? I’m done with that and enjoying Amazon video JP, now. By that logic isn't Setsuna the home wrecker? I mean, Haruki and Kazusa were already in love by that point. And wait, you're telling me Chinese fans didn't see the iconic kiss scene. Wow. Dickhead move biibili. |

About who is more like a home wrecker, I stand a bit more at Katsusa’s side and shall say Setsuna made a bad move at first but. The original sentence already came up in a meming way at the first place in the virally spread jpg. Ok that makes sense. Thing is, unlike you, I am very biased towards Kazusa, so I may miss the nuance a bit lol. |
|
| man, that is unfortunate to lose precious memories of your love. essentially Kisara has replaced Ayano as Shu's object of affection. though i wonder how far can she keep hold of his memories?... she's gonna break down one of these days. and I wonder whether Shuu can give up so much of his memories to the point he does not even have a will to live... we already see he doesn't have a personal life outside of his usual business hm |
| Great EP for giving some depth to the characters. Ayano probably already knew the price Shuu pays. Quite sad for her. |
Escape0707 said: theassholeofmal said: Ok that makes sense. Thing is, unlike you, I am very biased towards Kazusa, so I may miss the nuance a bit lol. Some experienced Chinese anime fans who stand at “Setsuna best gal” side defended this like “but Katsusa is the one who actually come back and destroyed other two’s marriage”. And I’m like, interesting offsite dumpster fire to watch lol. Honestly though, I think they are both at fault, but even then, I never understood why the fans argue so much. After all, it is based off a game with multiple endings. They can literally pick their best girl. |

After all, it is based off a game with multiple endings. They can literally pick their best girl. Besides that, how much would you describe that western people could relate to WA2‘s plot? I think those traditions about kind of shy and restrained way of expressing favor is more special to Asian culture. While it is true that Asian people tend to be more reserved, I don't think any cultural background is needed to understand the mentality of the characters in White Album 2. Perhaps one can relate to it more if they're in a similar setting as that of the characters, but the dramatic struggles are universal. I mean, it's not the third highest rated visual novel on VNDB for nothing. |

| Episode was pretty simple and with a similar formula to the other two. The interesting part is Yuu's past which we don't full know yet and the other important part is the one where he loses memories for using Kisara's powers, huh, I won't be surprised if at any point he will lose all his memories to save Ayano of something. |
| so Kisara is feeding on the memories of Shu in order for her to become a powerful Demon weapon thats their contract eh and Shu actually loves Ayano and just using Kisara more the romantic drama intensifies |
| In my opinion, both girls are 10/10. Shu should stay with Ayano and Kisara, they deserve so much love together |
| Damn Shu paying a heavy price for Kisara's powers and the fact that Kisara is aware of His memories? Damn thats some heavy shit because she now knows how strong his love for Ayano was at one point and Ayano's love back to him. Crazy. Welp there was that Spear from the beginning of the episode. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| So he basically loses his memories whenever he does the kiss thingy. Kind of a weird concept but whatever. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| So the price that Shuu has to pay to empower Kisara is losing his memories, wow. I think that the people that said Shuu may end up forgetting all his memories to save Ayano are on to something because I also think we may head in that direction. This does make the story-line more interesting but I do hope that Ayano finds out the sacrifice he's making before it's too late. Definitely curious to see where this goes. |
| That post-credits scene really hurt... Getting that backstory on Shuu really made me appreciate him more, and it explains why he just seems so consistently bored and done with life all the time. It's understandable considering he knows he's eventually going to be giving up all the memories of these experiences anyway- and with what he's given up already. More than anything I just hope that Ayano has picked up on it- especially after she wore that first-date outfit and Shuu didn't react. I can see this going towards a really dark/sad ending, but maybe, just maybe- she'll figure out a way to get Shuu out of the cycle. I really feel for her. And I could see the show ending with Shuu giving up all of his memories, in the end, for her. I guess we'll just have to see. In lighter news, at least my precious bean sprouts returned for another episode, thank you, A-1. ♡ |

| Damn this just got depressing real fast, So In order to give powers to Kisara, Shuu has to give up his memories of her. Damn. |
