Oooh boy, Yuki reveals her big secret in this episode...


I liked this episode more than the last couple. Touya kind of blew it, haha. But the ending was great:

hehe... Well, we get to see Mana :) Tomatsu ftw ~ (she said at least 10 times "baka"" to Touya I think, lol.)

Too bad Yuki and Touya missed each other for the first half of the day.. but at the end, they met, and Yuki shared the great news to him (1/2 secret).

Can't wait for next ep!!!

actually I changed my mind...taken from a quote from THAT Animeblog

"I hope Rina never reciprocates Touya’s lust and for BEST END, Touya is killed and Rina and Yuki live happily and yurily together."

now THAT is the best ending ^.^

So again, we see Rina seems to actually like Touya. Judging from her saying, "Since I did the favor to set you guys up for a date...let me borrow (Touya) for a while."

But apparently, that didn't work out; Touya missed the meeting at 10.

And somehow, Yuki thinks that Rina sets the time an hour earlier just so that Touya won't be late (or so Yuki told Rina before that he had a reputation of being late) was actually doing a favor for Yuki herself (when in fact Rina wanted to go out with Touya for that 1 hour)... All these misunderstandings and happenings seems to click into place anyway.

Like Touya says, why all of a sudden, Yuki was in such a hurry to "make sure their love is concrete" by pulling that bold adult move? I'm sure at this point Yuki is not thinking ill of Rina in anyway that she might steal Touya from her, so what's left, is ....?

Well good that this ep solved quite some questions we had from last episode, but it brought new ones ;_;

Uhhhhh ok that was an Odd episode. Was it just me or did the animation seem really weird? It was kinda fidgety.... But I guess Touya is gonna get laid soooo yay? Probably some thing will happen to screw it up, I wouldn't be surprised.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

So, this was a pretty bad episode. The direction was laughable. Going into first person when he met the loli tsundere was laughably ero gameish. The animation during that part was weridly jumpy also.

Dialogue was bad. "I want to feel you all over." ?!?
Really.
Really?
REALLY!?

Also, story wise, they are seeming to over convolute everything. I thought it was just my lack of attention and being sleepy last week, but I'm up and able and the writing just really want things to be complicated, and the direction takes advantage of that.

Finally, Yuki, and the main guy have no business being in a relationship. You've been together how long and you don't know how to contact her? Didn't know where she lived? Don't know the actual time you first met? What do you talk about all the time then? Her career? Rina really seems to be self-serving too, but at least she knows what's going on. I don't care if she tries to snatch main guy away. These people are just dumb.

ARGH! I can't decide if Rina is good or bad yet! Lol! It's driving me insane. Just what are her intentions?

There is just too much for 13 episdes to cover. This should have been 24 episodes. I mean how can the next 9 episodes give time for all the other fabulous characters, including the new one introduced today. She was really interesting to me. Plus I want to know a lot more about Haruka. And the first episode had that one girl - was she fodder or is there more to her too?

*Sigh, I want more than 13. Oh well. Maybe I can hope for a second season (if this anime doesn't go the way of Mahoromatic Season 2 and totally blow up at the end.)

I love Rina's character but I cannot get a read on her. I know she has more devious intentions than trying to be Touya's goddess for the day. Speaking of, I did like Touya's line about Yuki "being his everyday". I am curious to see if this changes in upcoming episodes, since Rina is obviously making a play for his attention and you can't completely rule out Haruka, though I'd give her very slim odds at this time.

Good episode overall, I really like the atmosphere but the writing was a bit strange, at least I wouldn't have made a full episode on a missed date (except with some drama which was not the case). Well, I guess that WA's main strenth is to be intriguing and nostalgic, and it works well here at least.

Finally, Yuki, and the main guy have no business being in a relationship. You've been together how long and you don't know how to contact her? Didn't know where she lived?

Well, Yuki just changed homes in episode 2 (if I remember correctly) and got a new telephone (in 1986, there were no cell phones obviously), and on top of that, Yuki's manager tries to prevent them from meeting at all, so it's not illogical he doesn't know where she lives nor her new phone number. Still, their relationship is quite vague indeed, they don't seem like they are dating at all, but I guess that's more general to Japanese animation, where two characters can be "dating" without knowing each other well, holding hands, kissing, let alone sex.

Nevermind, I find Rina much more interesting as a character, and Yuki's main feature is to be voiced by Aya Hirano, apart from that... ;)

This episode felt worthless. It was all just spent on Toya and Yuki trying to meet each other and then by the end, she told him some news. Wow. Such a waste of time. That and the lack of Rina screen-time made this forgettable. I think I'm gonna drop this.

Yeah I missed the 1986 reference too. This would increase the difficulty in reaching her. It also reminds us how spoiled we are by cell phones and other mobile communication devices. Its difficult to fathom communication without these devices and I have only had a cell phone for about 8 years now.

Questions that have been nagging me. Yuki recently moved, that's one thing. But she doesn't know where the asshole lives, not just the other way around.

Anyway, the "feel you" part probably didn't go well if Toya ended up sitting there depressed. Just tell her you've got a headache.

There's obviously a lack of honest communication going on between Yuki and Touya. Not only do they not know many things about each other, their memories of how they met and got together are different too. He remembers the school shoe-locker thing while she remembers the mountain. Their relationship will break sooner or later.

The chasing around and missing each other situation reminded me so much of stupid melodramatic Taiwanese shows, ugh.

So far, every character wins except Touya.

I don't see where this show is going, and unless they set the pace faster, it'll be hard to wrap up with a decent ending with 13 episodes. It was an alright episode, the chasing eachother thing was a bit ridiculous, but they did keep me interested.

Though the show needs more Rina and Haruka.

this episode left me having weird views.

seems rina likes touya, but is touya starting to think of rina the same way now and just hasn't realized it (i say that bc of all the flashbacks of her at key points)
i understand the whole not knowing where each other lives bc it seems he was kicked out of his house right before college or at the beginning of college, meaning that yuki wouldn't know bc she started her career then. as to touya not knowing, that is typical bc the managers never want anyone to try to start a love relationship with their new money ticket.

tho damn it did take long enough for them to share a kiss.

You know from the beginning it's most likely not gonna work (the relationship). You don't have much of a communication, despite the fact that they live far away from each other as well. =(

So... did they do it at the end or something? When Yuki said she wanted to feel him ... I was like whoa whoa whoa ... a bit rushed lol. Then some random shower comes up and Touya (or w/e the guys' name is) is just sitting there ... kinda a weird (or bad) way to end off.

So I'm guessing they didn't "do it" yet ... but maybe next EP?!

One thing that confuses me the most is what are all of the characters' intention, which hopefully, will clear up soon. Because I don't know.... But when they talk, it doesn't seem to be that straight-forward and seems more like "thoughts" form. + I can't tell if this was the creator's intention.... Or am I just slow and can't catch up....? XD I do lose the pace on what they're talking about a few times already.

She was taking a shower before sex. It's common tradition in japan to clean before and after sex. Haven't you noticed the trend in other anime shows where the girl takes a shower then comes out all shy in a bath robe?

Also I think his expression was him trying to figure out what's going on. Everything happened so fast and he's just trying to make sense out of it, what shes thinking, and everything that happened in the day. Who wouldn't be thinking "why the rush?", "what if it's not rushed".."what's in the future?"..this seems pretty normal for a person who's dating an idol and about to have sex.

As for Rina....I get the feeling that she's trying to please Yuki but at the same time trying to win over her boy friend. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Rina was bisexual and had a crush on both Yuki and her b/f...I doubt it though if this show is set in 1986.

Anyway heres the updated relationship chart. Not much changed, I fixed a few mistakes that people picked out in the last episode.

I see your point but I think it would be more accurate if he was in the same situation with Rina. Yuki is his gf afterall even though their relationship is as deep as a cap of a sodabottle.

True for first quote, Japanese normally bath before going to sleep... (in that case shower since it's an apart.)

For second quote. He's a cluless... I can understand that it must be difficult, but how come he needs to be pushed like this before thinking... He got like 3 epiosdes where he didn't see his girl fr., plenty of time, no ?
