prismheart said: Natsume was a nice addition to the cast. I'm glad that Shizuku decided to become more open and not drag out her recluse behavior for too long.
I didn't expect Shizuku to give up her emotionless ways until later. Sadly we only get 13 eps of this awesome show. D: I love it so much, I can't wait until Episode 3!
So some people know that Shizuku is voiced by the same seiyuu, Haruka Tomatsu, as Asuna in SAO but nobody mentioned how similar these two Tomatsu characters are: Both used to single-mindedly pursue a single goal (clearing the game or making the best grades) that she rejected everything else; they both met a guy who taught her the pleasure of life around her that she had failed to notice, and amazingly both came to this realization by having a daytime nap! And of course both fell in love with the guy afterwards.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?
I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?
I wonder how long people would put up with this.
As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

It's not too hard to find similarities (and differences). O_o

True, but I thought someone would have mentioned it by the time I wrote my post. The similarity is just striking: Both girls found out how pleasant it was to break out of her single-minded pursuit to feel the nature in a midday nap that would not have happened but for the boy she came to feel for. Not to say both characters are voiced by the same seiyuu. So uncanny.

Loving the Characters in this series, Natsume is just another great addition. Characters are huge for me, generally if I like the characters in a series I like the series, so the prospects look really good for this show, let's see if it can keep it up.
Another great ep. I like the scenes of Natsume being taught by the couple, especially Haru; her "I'm rooting for you" part near the end made me smile. :']
Another great ep! Loved Shizuku's expression when she kept recalling that kiss.
Kinda expected that she will begin to open up... but a confession? Wow.
Still really interesting developments but once both sides have confessed... what now?
Can't wait for the next ep!
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN
Not a bad episode, although things really sped up. I wonder if the rest of the series will just be about them two and their day-to-day lives, since she realized her feelings are the same as his for her. The last few minutes felt like the ending to the series, it was deep.
4/5 So random that I am confused. She confessed, yet the whole episode was based around Natsume and her studying? Still funny, though.
Such an awesome series, don't think I've seen a romantic comedy where the couple confessed their love for each other so early. Loving the characters so far.
Really looking forward to what's going to happen next.
i thought the first episode was a little rushed but this episdoe was awesome !! Really cute ! Love the comedies ! The rooster parts were hilarious and damn when natsume goes all MITTY ..it was soo cute :P >_< !!
I love this anime! Romantic, weird, and funny at the same time! I love Haru's character. ♥
Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick"
Araragi: Then what should I call you?
Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama.
Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA
Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly.
Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~
Well, that was fast. Two confessions in two episodes. I'm liking the pacing and Natsume is a nice addition. The comedy of this anime actually got a chuckle out of me so I have some high hopes.
Good to see Mitty is becoming more 'normal' xD Haru's hilarious as expected. Now that they've become a couple, it will be interesting to see how the drama will progress now. I liked the way how the new characters were introduced~
It's nice to see the 2nd episode isn't as fast paced as the 1st one, at least to me. But I hope that this doesn't mean that the story will now progress sluggishly.
The ending was super cute! Loved how Natsume said "I'm rooting for you, Haru-kun"! And, that ending.. That was probably the most casual way I've heard someone say they love someone in their face.. xD ^^
Shizuku learning to enjoy her life and not just focus on studies. Just 2 episodes in and we have sooooo much char development? simply amazing! definitely one of the best this season. Thank god we have this anime and a few others to offset some of the BS crap this season, eg. Shitsekai Yaoi!
Cant wait to see where the adventure with this anime goes! Loving every second of the ride!

Like it makes me want to hug her
