| WOOOOOW. Such an intense episode. So many developments. I'm serious about this. I BLUSHED when Kaito-kun and Takatsuki-san almost kissed. It was just so awkward but so cute; I couldn't help it! So.. Mio and Ishigaki. I knew it was coming. But I'm sad. Kaito-kun and Takatsuki-san. I'm sad. :( I just feel so bad for Kanna. I always put myself in her position, because it has happened to me before. Everyone is getting together, even the one you love and you're just the odd one out, left out of everything. So. I'm all for Kanna and Ishigaki, and Kanna and Kaito, although I prefer the first. I'm okay with the couples, but I hate that the girl like Takatsuki always gets the main guy. It really irritates me sometimes, because I'm never that girl in a situation like this....................But yeah.................SO it just makes me a little annoyed. I was hoping it was going to go another direction, but I guess not. Mio and Ishigaki is sweet though, I love how sweet Ishigaki is. He's such a wonderful guy. I would like him if I was one of the characters :) But yeah. I'm not surprised nor very pleased with the new pairings, but it made me blush (xD) and was executed VERY well. 5/5 |
| Nghhh... that kiss... >////> |
| Don't want Mio and Tetsurou to end up together plz plz plz. Didn't like Mio from the very beginning, and don't like the feeling of someone will end up getting hurt especially Kanna, don't care about Mio. |
| This show's pace is too great! Fantastic romance development. I like Kanna and I don't want her to be left out but it's hard to choose on who to pair in this show. I enjoyed this episode too much and it's not focused on her. Tsk. I might be leaning on Kaito/Ichika too. Gah. /end rant. |

| This was the best episode yet! If the show continues to be this good, it will earn a spot in my all-time favorites list. It is sooooo sweet! Kanna seems to have the unenviable distinction of being the hypotenuse in two separate love triangles! That is an impressive achievement. Sad, but impressive! Remon is evil personified! Entertaining evil, but evil none-the-less... |

| Finally they cleared up the misunderstanding with Kaito and Kinoshita. Right now it's just a whole mess of unrequited love so far. |

I wouldn't go as far as to say ALL of it is a mess of unrequited love since we already know Ichika and Kaito love each other.....But as far as that goes...they're the only ones that we know of for certain....I do agree that there is quite a bit of unrequited love though, Kanna > Kaito > <Ichika. Mio > Tetsuro > Kanna. Remon ( I'm all alone :<) |
| Hihi @ Mio being a nudist XD And LOL @ Rinon sending the spaceship away :P |

Des said: Hihi @ Mio being a nudist XD And LOL @ Rinon sending the spaceship away :P That's not the same spaceship. Also, remember Ichika's ship is damaged and most likely unable to fly. that's someone's ship coming not Ichika's ship that's going. |

I doubt this, mainly because what would Rinon getting crushed have to do with someone else's ship coming? It'd all be too coincidental, even for anime. Also if you noticed, as soon as Rinon got crushed, the lights in Ichika's ship came on. Rinon is a direct link to Ichika's ship, as such there wouldn't be a reason to panic if it wasn't Ichika's ship leaving since he's only connected to her ship, no one else's. |

Because Rinon freaked out when she got ass-smooshed by Chiharu and activated a distress beacon. The distress beacon was probably what you saw when they showed the cockpit of Ichika's ship and the bright red light. Rinon's freaking out after she wakes up when she realizes what's happened and what's coming. Ichika might not have wanted to be found. edit: You also have to remember that Ichika was talking at the beginning of episode #2 about taking a journey to a place she's never been to. She also alludes to a "they" saying she "took inglobe's Antifeminas" making it sound like her dream was met with resistance and journey was something that she pulled off on her own. It could mean Ichika is a runaway and that if Rinon sent a distress call she'd be in deep shit. Also in the same episode, during the night she uses her briefcase to assess the damage. It sounded like the ship was not operational and couldn't be "repaired". |

That's my take as well, though I'll admit that there really isn't enough to say that for sure. We'll just have to wait and see. |

| Really guys? Am I seriously the only one who does not support Kanna? In my eyes she's an attention getter, no better than that other chick whose name I forget that was attacking Tetsurou. You people really do have some weird standards. I'm all for the way things are now, I saw the preview and it looks like Kanna is going to make a move. I can't say I'm too thrilled about it, but it definitely does make or interesting plot development. I loved this episode, but I probably won't rate the next one a 5/5. |
 |
| Most. Underrated. Show. Evar. Seriously MAL, I am disappoint. The rating of this show really is just unacceptable. |
| I hate so many romantic complicated storylines @_@ poor Kanna |
| Do not feed the trolls! They bite ;D |

| That girl just disappeared out of nowhere after the girl's story about being nude in the family... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Best episode so far. I like how they ended the story arcs of those two side characters. 5/5 |
| I'm not sure when, but at some point in the anime I stopped caring about Ichika and Kai's relationship. Was watching this whole episode for the Tetsurou x Mio and it was kinda annoying when it would change back to Ichika x Kai stuff. At least Ichika wont be annoying with her "WHATS THIS FEELING" and "I DONT KNOW HOW I FEEL" crap anymore. All that aside, this episode was awesome. Even though everything I just said made it sound otherwise. |

Ichika was the attention seeker who didn't belong in their group, yet acts like Kaito's girlfriend and all that. Of course I'd support Kanna. It's just annoying when some random girl comes from nowhere and steals the guy's attention. Yea but that just seems like you're doing it because "I hate how things go so expectedly", Just like someone was saying that the only reason they liked Kanna was because she was the underdog compared to Ichika. Ichika is not an attention getter.....And it's foolish to believe that. She doesn't openly try to get Kaito's attention like Kanna. Ichika is the silent jealous type, she'll get jealous but wouldn't tell you until later on that it bothered her. |
exs120 said: It really is starting to become a overused trope that the long-time friend (not necessarily childhood friend) gets shafted. The only time they are guaranteed to win is if they are the OTP (I'm looking at you Lamune) or the show is ONLY about childhood friends (Ano Hana aka Childhood Friends Anime). Otherwise, it's up to the director and/or script writer to change things up, which rarely happens. Ano Natsu has the luxury of being an anime-original show, so it keeps us on our toes and has the potential to do something unexpected. It's not held back by any source material, except for all the other cliched rom-coms out there. If it becomes unique and separates itself from other shows, we might have an interesting end on our hands. If it goes down the same beaten path (magic girl/new girl ALWAYS win), then it won't do anything that already hasn't been done. What do people have against childhood friend characters anyways? Do people find them automatically annoying and clingy? Do they seem so familiar that they aren't interesting? Are they too cliched (I'm guessing the main reason - I don't agree)? Or are we so fickle that we will jump ship (pun intended) if the main female protagonist is a "new" person in the MC's life, even if this character is cliched themselves? I think we have commitment issues... EDIT: for clarification - in my opinion Writing = cliched Direction = not cliched (Nagai is just adapting what is given to him and doing a fantastic job) It doesn't matter to me if the character is a childhood friend or not. It depends on various factors. The character's interactions with each other, and how they look, as sorry as i am to say, this is a huge factor. If i think a character looks better than one, i want said character to be the dominant one over the other. This has been the case with many animes. Also it helps about who was on the first episode and introduced from the start (not one of the bigger factors but it's still present). Like, C3. I want him to get rid of the sword girl and get with Fear....I think that's her name....In Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, the guy should be with Erio. Now, Symphony is the only anime that's pulled the surprise card and i was happy with it, actually the girl he ended up with i was hoping he'd be with that one since i saw her. |
| Wow. Just... WOW. That's all I can say about this episode. It's definitely the best up until now. |
 |
| Love pentagon? Kana...why do you keep taking drinks from Remon? Well in any case glad some progress was made. |
| mio-"i-im a nudist!" lol then she confessed soon after that! , and kaito kinda did to!!!!!! they ALMOST kissed :D |
 |
| Wow a lot of shit happened this episode. I thought Mio just liked being naked, didn't think that she and her entire family would be nudists. o.o Her character sure developed a hell lot this episode. Was nice to see her just going off and saying everything on her mind. Then she ends up even confessing to Tetsurou. :O No answers yet but its development and I am liking where this is heading. Ichika and Kaito sure went a long way this episode too. Finally Ichika is able to make up her feelings, their relationship is progressing real nice. Kanna's hope just gets dimmer and dimmer, too bad I was going for her. =/ Lol why would Kanna decide to drink Lemon's stuff again. Seeing her nyaning sure was nice though, haha way to lighten the mood after all this tension. Something from space is coming!? And it didn't look good. Looks like there's going to be some plot about Ichika being an alien soon. |
 |
| Nice, i really like where this is going. Mio is a nudist <33333333333333. |
| BIG thumbs up for Mio. What an awesome chick! |
 |
| Oh, I love that drunk Kanna~ xD And the rest of this ep was marvelous as well, me really liking this show though it was a pretty fast development in one episode this time. Even though it was funny, tt jumping in is getting quite annoying though... So, when will we get to see some sci-fi action? Need Rinon special. |
| There was some nice relationship progress in this episode. Those two girls' sacrifices weren't in vain. They broke the relationship deadlock between the mains, after all. Kaori's loss led to progress between Kaito and Ichika. Chiharu's efforts greatly helped Mio make her decisive move. Poor Kanna, though, she missed the boat this time (partly due to Lemon-senpai as well). Looks like Rinon has some bad news in store. I'm loving every minute of this show. |
| a nudist? well .... interesting. can't say I saw that coming. Mio/Tetsurou is fine. still think it should be Kanna that gets with Kaito not the alien that doesn't look or act alien |
 |
| Nudist girlfriend!? I'd go for it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It was pretty obvious that she was a nudist since she was always naked in her own room when she got called i was wondering what her parents thought about it but now that she mentioned that they are also nudists it explained allot. Tho i agree with Tetsurou that she should have asked someone she trusted for help it could have saved her allot of trouble. Now we also know why the childhood friend was there and started crying lovesickness can be pretty bad. |
| A nudist... eh...? I have no probs with that. :) |
 |
| Mio's a nudist, huh? I could've sworn someone hinted at that in a previous episode discussion. Doesn't really fit her character so I was kinda surprised by that confession. It looks like by the end of the episode however that she's come out of her shell, so that was nice. Looks like everything is more or less resolved now... or is it? |
| Finally these bitches are telling them how they feel. I hate it when they dont confess and hold on to their feelings. |
 |
| The Mio and Tetsurou coupling is my favourite by far, both of them are the best characters. I would skip that other fiasco if it wasn't so interesting simply because it leaves such a bitter taste. I find it discomforting how Lemon acts like the whims of a cruel audience. Kanna makes me feel really really bad every time I see her, and it's like her soul purpose. It's a really ingenious plot, but it feels so rotten. |
| shits are unfolding pretty fast... First we have K-On's Mio with striped panties and now we have a Mio with no panties! That's about as far as the company will go just for fanservice o_O Overall: me gusta. The busts |
  |
| ahhhh flowers was blooming!!! mio-tetsurou and ichika-kaito . it's good for kanna?? poor her... |
| i lack on english but, i want to speak! |
