| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Do not post in this thread before you watched the episode ---------------------------------------- Hmm this episode was fun. We got a sleepover and I think the boys enjoyed gossiping at night. I guess the show decides to take a break from the usual athletics stuff this episode. For what's worth, I think this show still has a lot of potential when it comes to to tourism. It explores other places besides the school environment with the students going to other places. Not bad. |

| That ending. Setsuko has it rough with that guy but it was funny to watch. And it seems the teacher has a hard time controlling her feelings as well, she will have a rough time like that. Anyway taking the phones from students in this day and age!! I personally find that very strange since it's a way to contact them and you will know they will try to smuggle one in anyway. The episode was nice as usual. |
| Well, I guess we'll have to wait a little more until they start dating. Anyway, this episode was interesting. There was this bit of drama and I kept thinking Hira would show up when Akane was alone waiting for Kota. I'm glad it didn't happen though. Akane jealous was pretty cute, and I hope to see her and Kota interact more in the next episodes, as they said they would in the ending. So far my pick for AOTS. EDIT: To be honest I'm having my doubts whether they're dating or not, but I guess we'll find out next episode. |

| This anime is so frustrating to watch! There's beating around the bush and playing footsie and then there's Tsuki ga Kirei! It's like just talk already! Just do something already! The anime takes a generic romance concept and uses a generic approach to the genre and has the pacing of a turtle walking thru molasses on a cold day in January! Then you add in the weird 3d ish CGI background characters that aren't in every scene but rather scattered throughout the anime and it's like Where is the appeal!?! I just don't get it but I'm holding out hope that they will redeem themselves in the next few episodes. I'm not giving up on this anime just yet... |

Dude, they are in middle school dealing with their first love. Of course they are like that. The slow pacing is part of what makes the anime so great. |

Tsuki Ga Kirei's pacing is "turtle sped" ever since the 1st episode. If you actually want the pacing to go faster it will end up ruining the anime. I understand not rushing a story progression but c'mon there has to be a middle ground where they can explain the characters relationship without dragging the viewer thru every mundane detail of sh...sh...sh...should I sa..sa..say something to her. It's like c'mon we're 4 episodes in now let's start moving forward a little bit |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| FUCK THAT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH. I almost yelling FUCK! at my screen when they didn't find each other. FML! This is getting all sorts of emotions out of me, ugggggghhh... I also loved the little interactions from everyone in this, reminded me of my class trips in school. OMG THAT ANSWER AYYYYYYYYYYYYY |
| Great episode. That phone hiding in the bag of potato chips, Roman ftw. XD The class trip was pretty fun to watch with all the fun both the guys and girls had. Akane's friends are pretty nice, while they do want to know what's up with Akane and her interest they are not terribly invasive and know when to draw the line and I like that. Chinatsu is great too. To be honest, I was actually worried that Kota might not meet Akane and she might distance herself for it. I am super glad that it didn't had cause if it did then I would've been heartbroken cause I ship these two so much. xD I was so damn happy when they finally met. :D Final scene with the both of them was just adorable, Akane's jealousy is just too cute. I'm glad they are a couple now. :) Kyle_Hamelin said: This anime is so frustrating to watch! There's beating around the bush and playing footsie and then there's Tsuki ga Kirei!

Both our main characters are socially awkward and very shy people, it's not hard to imagine why the pacing is so slow because it's really not easy for them to talk to each other in person, that's why most of their conversations are over text. The show is paced slow to bring out their shy personalities and how they overcome their inherent social awkwardness to slowly grow closer to each other, faster pacing would just ruin all this build up cause it would be totally out of character. If you're not a shy person by nature then I assume it'd be hard to understand why it's taking them so long to even say a few words to each other. Simply put, I feel it's the slow pacing along with social awkwardness of our main couple that make this show a really pure, sweet and heartfelt romance. |

Not cringy but frustrating because you want the characters to be able to display their emotional intent for each other. |

Just that it is heading that direction and that Akane wants to talk with him more. Get to know each other better by talking before starting a relationship was my take on it. I am excited for the next episode and hope they do start dating soon. I enjoy a series so much more when it focuses on the relationship vs just getting together in the end. While the pacing may be slow I do have to say that the MC confessing on episode three is a lot faster than most series. |
| holy shit seriously HOLY SHITTTTTT I WAS SO DEPRESSED FOR THE WHOLE EPISODE it was painful, and expecting some cheap drama like other romance animu BUT THAT ENDING ASYFUQTYSVAGHJSFHAGSFHGASFHGAFSHGAFSHGAFSGH BEST.ANIMU.THIS.SEASON |
| I wonder if her answer would have been different if they were able to meet properly. Either way she is not wrong in saying that they barely talked and need to get to know each other better, before starting a relationship. Although I can't help but feel that Chinatsu's role affected the last meeting outcome, even if only slightly. Chinatsu is going for the Kotarou; she noticed Akane running away, so she could have said something then, or when he borrowed the phone. She is going to be the main problem and drama source in this anime I guess. That drunk teacher stealing the phone was a sad view. I hope he did it only because he drank too much and not because they still do these kind of things. They barely did it in my last year of high school years ago. But then again Japan is so far ahead on many things yet so far behind on plenty of others. |

That's why on many occasions you notice they just glance at each other from afar, it's also why they are able to talk freely over text. Even in this particular episode where you notice Kota hesitating multiple times to go upto Chinatsu and ask for her phone is a very nice portrayal of his social awkwardness but when he eventually does you can understand that he really does want to meet Akane at all costs. It's all these little realistic touches of social awkwardness that make this show what it is. So I can only ask you to hang tight until they slowly start opening upto each other. |
|
| Yay! She said yes. (Even though it was an indirect one.) I can finally rest in peace. Akane has some really nice friends. Chinatsu is very understanding. Can't wait to see that Hira guy's reaction when he finds out Akane is dating Kotarou. |
 |
| Those shorts at the end are slowly becoming the main highlights xD Other than that, this was a great episode and man I just love how these kids act around each other....Like that scene where Roman was messing around in the room brought me back to my younger years xD And thank god Kota found Akane and that she said yes because seeing them both not being able to find each other/text was hurting my soul lol |
| Them not finding each other was a bit frustrating to watch. Thank goodness the misunderstanding was cleared right away. It was nice of Chinatsu to help him out. I'm glad she said yes. That was a nice ending. |
 |
| I was looking forward this episode so badly and it was over in a second, now i need my next episode. Easiest AOTS for me ever. Everything about it is just so good. His friends were quite assholes for trying to look at his phone and even holding him just to take a look. Birth date as a password? I definitely seen this one before xD Because of them teacher took the phone too :( Late night chatting and pretending they sleep in front of their teacher is so relatable honestly. And those girly talks about feelings are quite realistic. I was kinda certaing that is what Akane will respond at the beginning of the episode, it was unexpected that she expressed her desire to talk more with him ( indirectly accepting to be his datepartner) She was pretty cute this episode with wanting to go and meet him, being really awkward near her friends (Thank they left her, they are really annoying as well) and being really frustrated when he wasn't coming and responding to her messages. Jesus that part is really great. And Of course the ending is just the best thing ever. Best romance animu. |

First she says that she doesn't know, because they can barely talk to each other, then she says she wants to talk more with him. Imo that implies that she does want to start a relationship with him, but they need to know each other better and be able to talk normally. At this point, I think both of them know the feeling is mutual. I also think they'll start dating soon enough. I really enjoy when we get to see the relationship developing as well. |

| Lol, I love the funny bits at the end. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| After watching the episode, I think it was a brilliant decision to move away completely from the conclusion of the episode before, the one little flashback it showed completely opened up a new path for our two love birds in training. Man, I felt the frustration when Azumi got his phone taken away, that too in the midst of a serious conversation. However I think it folded up very nicely at the end. Azumi had to work hard for it and he did. It was such a torture to bear those few moments when Azumi missed searching for Akane, I just wanted them to meet up and ASAP. That's how brilliant I think these two episodes in particular, and the anime have been. It was a smart move to include the comedic few short-scenes at the end. This show has amazing execution and the level up in the previous two episode prove it. After 4 episodes in, this is easily my pick of the season so far. On a side note... Japan has finally done it! Hurray!! Kota is your typical seemingly beta and unbelievably shy MC but who has the balls to do what the viewer wants! I love him already! |
| OMG! This series is so good! I already so in love with these characters! They are so cute! I want give this series big 10! But... I'm worried this gonna go downhill like others series. Good start and ending pissing me off. So right now, I will just enjoy the show! Because right now is one of the best series in this season. That last scenes in this series, are just... *.* Ah! I can't! I want more now! |
| Nice field trip episode and we got the first portion of drama, it was a little bit unnessescary, though. The whole situation could've been avoided if Kotarou had spoken with her directly. I was almost in rage about his behaviour, are kids without cellphones really that helpless ? xD Well, at least it's shown like this and I have to bear with it. Apart from this minor flaw in my eyes I enjoyed this episode a lot. |

| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
 Watching these two struggle to find each other and then try figure out these emotions was great. The awkwardness is just too real... |
| hmm finally an anime not centered around bath scenes... well overall episode was melodramatic |
 |
| Oh my gosh they are so cute! A bit awkward, but cuuuute! |
 |
| Damn it Kotarou, making a girl wait on you! Anyway, cute episode once again. That ending was adorable. |
  |
| No phones? Like seriously? |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| This anime going to kill me at the end.So frustrating watching this and yet so good.. Akane really got jealous this episode and so i guess she accepted dating him at the end. |
| kawaii ending? hyped for next episode |
| God, this episode was so tense xD I had to keep pausing because it stressed me out to watch it xD Those kinds of misunderstandings are the worst - it was pretty much entirely out of Azumi's control, but he still ended up leaving her waiting in the rain like that and possibly costing him the chance at dating Akane ._. It's hard to say that she is wrong for feeling that way when you put it in her shoes, but...I was actually kind of worried there xD This one has been nothing short of a beauty so far. I've loved these first 4 episodes to pieces. |
 |
| Best pure romance anime in a long time. I thought for sure the answer would be no after all that. |
 |
lol you notice that now ? the cg has been shit throughout the whole anime. btt.: SO AWKWARD. only bearable at 1.5x. still kinda interesting. guess i will watch the anime to its end if its 12 episodes. |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| i really can't stand all those "ahs" and "uhs". open your god damn mouth..... honestly one of the cringiest romance anime i've ever seen. |
 |
| Really enjoying this series at the moment. Even if it is a bit cringe at times. I just hate the CGI background characters, really ruins it for me, especially during this episode when there was loads of background people about! I didn't notice it as much until now. Plus, what is with the opening showing us scenes from the episode at the beginning? Surely that's a little bit of a spoiler. From now on I think I will just have to close my eyes until I hear the music stop. |

They're just middle schoolers dealing with their first love. I don't know what kind of rush your in but haste make's waste which won't end well for either of them. They CGI background characters is a bit of a turn off for me since I don't really like them in the first place or for it to be so bold and upfront. SakurasouBusters said: Dude, they are in middle school dealing with their first love. Of course they are like that. The slow pacing is part of what makes the anime so great. I totally agree with you. This kind of anime is the ones that I real like. |
| Luckily i already read the LN so i dont really care about this rush. and i think the art a little bit become worse |
