Can't wait for next week's episode! I'm curious on why they actually spoiled the ending right from the first episode. Which is why I wonder why anyone is even curious on how this ends. I'm just as curious as to why they showed a spoiler of the ending in the first few minutes of the first episode. We all know the result, but how they get there is still unfolding. Another thing that bugs me is how will Haruki feel at the end of the series. When did they show that on episode 1 ? Someone , please enlighten me .... |

| So... WTF they skipped it. I guess that would be on the next episode. Well, there'll be more I believe on episode 12 and especially the very last part of episode 13. |

| I read a summary of WA2 VN and I really hope they change the ending, it will be such a disappointment if they stick to the VN. If this ending was any indication of the possible future, I can tell were all going to be crushed. Haruki x Touma <3 This anime was done was beautifully which is rare for romance/drama anime, most of them are a bunch of misunderstandings crap and you'll be lucky to get to see a kiss after muddling through 24 episodes garbage. |

If you read the ending summary for the Introductory Chapter that's like 20% of the whole meat of the story and it was also linear. It'd be more disappointing if they did not stick to the VN which means Changing 80% of the last part of the story. |

You are right I only read the Introductory Chapter. I didn't even realise there was another part n_n |
rajurashmi2000 said: she also doesn't shove her relationship in touma's face. I believe that Setsuna has no intetions to do so.Nonetheless, when she is aware of Touma's feelings, she fails to draw the line between relationship and friendship by setting her priorities straight. I.e. You don't go on an overnight trip with your boyfriend AND best friend, to casually share the same room and some hot springs skinship between the three of you.Unless of course, you a)are aiming for a threesome b)have a ntr fetish or c)are so innocent to still believe in Santa. About Ep.10 itself, although I enjoyed evey bit of Touma being a fan of hers, I was left unfullfilled since the parts I wanted to see the most were left out (postponed for later episodes?). Some claim that ignorance is bliss, but I personally am trully happy for having already been spoiled. Adds to my enjoyment of the anime. Here's crossing fingers that the remaining anime episodes will cover "all" of HarukixTouma after the teary confession. |

pizza_012 said: I actually found that weird for him to cry? Lol. I was like. WTF Really Haruki. Instead of comforting Touma, He also cried like a little boy whining 'cause he lost something. He looked really Gay there. No offense. I know right, bro?! It is like, sooooo totally gay for a character to show emotions like an actual human or something. How revolting, eh? Who cares about their world falling apart with them being powerless to stop it when - gasp - their super cool manly image is at stake! My bro Haruki should have manned the fuck up and tapped dat instead of acting like a sissy. You hear me man? AYO #YOLO |

| Haruki doesn't deserves any of those girls. After what he did in ep10 I hope for an ending without any pairing and were Setsuna drops the friendship to Touma. |
 |
| Haruki is an idiot and according to this episode he admits so himself. But I don't hate him; he has it tough both Setsuna and Touma are nice and lovable. Plus he's still a kid. Comparing myself during my high school days to him I'd probably be just as stupid in a situation like this (and in a way I was... oh the regrets, the regrets). But c'est la vie, you learn from your mistakes and become a better person. At this point it seems no matter who he ends up with it will be a bittersweet ending. |
| 10 episodes, all great. |
| Nice episode despite the flasbacks. I guess i warmed up a bit to the HarukixTouma pairing. Still its a little sad that this inevitable situation was on the day of Setsuna´s birthday party. I felt really bad for her after Haruki´s call and she was all alone for dinner. |
 |
| I find it hard to blame any of characters once you take some time to understand their circumstances.Sure,we could be pointing fingers in all directions and be like "but he did this...yes but it was because she wanted that...but that only happened because she didn't do that,etc"(it could go on for ages) but I believe that would take away from the overall enjoyment of this awesome show.The characters's behavior is very human,they have their flaws like every one of us and are portrayed in a very realistic fashion - personally,I'm more than content with that! Also,while I certainly appreciate a good parental figure in a show,I'm really liking the fact that all 3 of them are going through this blindly,without outside aid from friends or family.There's absolutely no spoon-feeding here which makes it all the more enjoyable to see them try to sort things out on their own. |
| touma is is the best character for me, funny that the both touma and Haruki had different point of view about each other, when finaly both were wrong and love each others, really excited for the next episode, the flashback was ok i guess, too long for nothing if i can say |
| I couldn't decide who I liked better so I guess whatever they decide to do with this series will be okay with me, but I humbly do have to admit that Touma has a lot more depth as a character and definately more backstory, on the other hand I feel bad for Setsuna. |
| I'll be honest, I hate Kitahara so much, it's severely affecting how much I enjoy this series. That's just me, but I doubt my opinion of him will improve at all, it will probably get worse. |
 |
| My heart breaks for Setsuna. Stood up on her birthday, which also happens to be Valentines Day (even though the never mention it directly, her birthday is February 14th), after setting up a romantic dinner for the two of them. I like Touma too, but that was too much. |
| I have mostly positive feelings about this episode. The whole scene on the street was great as was Kazusa finally coming clean about how she really sees the current situation. Most raw emotion we've seen from her all series so far. What I didn't like or I guess I should say what didn't feel as strong was the whole flashback. It's not a bad sequence, I just think it interrupted the flow of the episode up to that point which was really building steam and just didn't add as much to the scenario as I think continuing in the present could have. If anything it kind of just made Kazusa look more typically tsundere whereas the scene on the street had real emotion to it. 4/5, very good, but I feel next week and the week before will prove to have been the better episodes in the long run. |
| Poor Setsuna ;_; i feel so bad when they showed her alone on her birthday. Seems like next week the shitstorm will start. Can't wait. |

RediceRyan said: Fantastic episode. Best confession scene of the season. Not sure why there needed to be those flashbacks It's just exposition to fill in the blanks about their relationship not to mention toumas viewpoint and also some of her back story. This helps you empathize with touma doing her best to reach kitahara despite having told to stay away from him. Also, the beginning helps kitahara haters understand that he's not indecisive...he's trying his best to keep someone he loves who rejected him(or thought she did) close to him. And we all know how hard that is after being friendzoned by someone. |

Takana_no_Hana said: Joseito1875 said: Even though most of the episode was composed of flashbacks, I loved it. This helps us understand Touma a little more. She has know Haruki for a while before the story started, and finally now she's confessing her feelings. She couldn't keep up the charade anymore. Great episode! People should know to use the word flashback appropriately. Nothing can be considered as "flashback" if they contribute to the story and character development. This episode they show Touma's POV and her past which lead her to meet Haruki. By that we should all know that she was the "first girl", has deeper connections and Setsuna is the third person here. Oh well, I like Setsuna and rooting for her, but at the same time I have sympathy for Touma as well ;_;. Such a hard feelings to chose between the two. Anyway, things gonna get worst for Setsuna, no doubt. Damn u Haruki ... Totally agree about people using flashback. Plus all of the scenes have been skillfully shown already if you go back and watch it again. The first time they met...when she taught him guitar...etc. from harukis point of view. They repeatedly show "From when the snow melts to when it falls again" which can be taken literally as you see the months change or you can take it as toumas cold heart warming up to the point where she loses kitahara and begins to regress into her isolated state once more. |
| Ahhh~ Beautiful. It's been a long time since I've watch something like this. Touma flashback is one of the best this season, and Touma is the best female character this season.. At least for me. 3 more episode, and I wish they animate the rest of the chapter and go with Touma True End. |
 |
| Reading through the posts and all.... and just addressing what I know and am feeling and thinking about... (maybe a long post but let me rant :D) 1.) the first episode showing the ending: 2.) quote and quote "scheming, sly fox" Setsuna 3.) Touma "BEST GIRL!!! WOOHOO!!! EAT D*** SETSUNA" people 4.) what end route (just my thoughts about them/short review) CC heroines ending- Kazusa True End route- Setsuna True End route- Uwaki route- |
| People really want the "School Days" route to be the ending? Fudge man that would be friggin hilarious just to see the rage. |

Well if you look at it that way then you sir by all means correct. But when you say "another girl" like toumas just some random chick in his life I fear you missed the entire point of the episode let alone the entire series up to this point. Lol. |

It probably should go down that route as it would be the most entertaining. I would feel bad for people who take WA2 seriously though haha. And for most players, they seem to consider that the real ending of the game (Ironically it's labeled as a normal ending, much like Swan Songs normal ending). So yeah...popcorn ahoyyy. |

It doesn't matter if its touma or someone else, he abadons his girlfriend on her birthday for someone else. It's the worst thing you can do. The fact that Touma is the best friend of Setsuna just makes it even worse. Maybe for you this is a normal behaviour but then you lack any common sense... I fear you missed the entire point of the post... After this episode you just have to blame Haruki for what happend. He decided to go out with Setsuna even that he had these feelings for Touma. And Touma is to blame cause she did not say a word when she was confronted by Setsuna. I just hope there will be an ending where both of them will suffer... |

| I hate that kind of stories... Really, if Touma was honest or at last show that she like Haruki then he haven't start to dating Setsuna and Setsuna wasn't be sad, heartbroken and all alone in Vday and her birthday. I think Haruki have feelings for Setsuna, because if he don't have any romantic feelings he haven't kissed her and start be with her. I feel like Touma lose her chance and I don't want her to be with Haruki, c'mon deal with it, Setsuna give her chance, even if Touma don't want tell Haruki isn't good to tell somebody else, especially your friend who is also in love with him and have plan to confess her feelings for him? Really, if they plan make Touma/Haruki happy ending and Setsuna alone and people will be happy ok with this, then I have no words for them. |
LittleStar said: Really, if Touma was honest or at last show that she like Haruki then he haven't start to dating Setsuna and Setsuna wasn't be sad, heartbroken and all alone in Vday and her birthday. You remember what the teacher said to her about how she'd only give Kitahara trouble if she keeps getting closer to him? She didn't want to show her feelings because she's also aware about that fact as well. She knows about her burdens and tried to keep a safe distance from him as a result, but she also can't help herself for still wanting to keep in contact with him because she's just attracted to him. If it weren't for Setsuna, though, the distance between them would never have gotten closer. In this case, it's technically Kitahara's and Ogiso's fault for forcing her to become closer to them (something she actually doesn't mind but would never have taken initiative in) and putting her in a position where she'd slowly let her feelings grow more. LittleStar said: I feel like Touma lose her chance and I don't want her to be with Haruki, c'mon deal with it, Setsuna give her chance, even if Touma don't want tell Haruki isn't good to tell somebody else, especially your friend who is also in love with him and have plan to confess her feelings for him? But she had given up. That's why she hid her feelings from them. But do you remember what Setsuna wanted from Touma? She wants the three of them to be together and continue as best friends. And since Ogiso and Touma and precious to each other, Touma granted that wish, even in exchange for her own feelings. This situation is hard pressing Touma because she takes priority in granting Ogiso's wish, but is also very ironic because her presence is what makes Kitahara waver, which is also ruining Ogiso's own happiness. When Touma wanted to give up, Ogiso's wish made it hard for her to. Would you blame Touma for respecting Ogiso's wish? She barely has any friends, so she treasures whoever she has and would do anything for them. Would you blame Ogiso for wanting Touma to continue being best friends with Kitahara and her, even if it indirectly makes Touma the third wheel? She also has this past trauma from her old friends, so she holds her current friends very preciously as well, to the point that she would only consider Kitahara a friend whenever the three of them are together. Again, it's not just Touma's fault that this problem has risen to this point here. If you're going to blame her, Kitahara and Ogiso also deserve to be blamed. LittleStar said: Really, if they plan make Touma/Haruki happy ending and Setsuna alone and people will be happy ok with this, then I have no words for them. But who do you think is actually okay with Touma and Kitahara backstabbing Setsuna? Nobody would. This dilemma is shown in a point of view where we're not supposed to feel okay with what Touma and Kitahara are doing, no matter how much we like any of them as characters. Even Kitahara and Touma would feel guilty for doing that. And that's exactly what they'll continue to feel if they pursue each other's affection. Some people like me want Touma and Kitahara to be happy with each other, but since they're very realistic characters, they also take Setsuna's own feelings into account very heavily, to the point that they'll never be happy with each other as long as Setsuna would be hurt from it. As long as the three of them hold each other very dearly, they will never find pure happiness from each other's company. And that's the magic in this series. |
Again, it's not just Touma's fault that this problem has risen to this point here. If you're going to blame her, Kitahara and Ogiso also deserve to be blamed. As I can see, everyone here is at fault. Setsuna is pushing too much, but then Touma is not honest with herself. You can argue that Touma lied to her true feelings and being dishonest in order to full fill Setsuna wish cause Setsuna is her first-true-best-friend. But hell, please, doing things her ways would only make thing worst. She has been given every chances back then to confess her feelings and could potentially being a couple with Haruki. But she refused to. You remember what the teacher said to her about how she'd only give Kitahara trouble if she keeps getting closer to him? She didn't want to show her feelings because she's also aware about that fact as well. She knows about her burdens and tried to keep a safe distance from him as a result, but she also can't help herself for still wanting to keep in contact with him because she's just attracted to him. This is where love takes place. Burden or trouble doesn't matter much if they have mutual feelings. But, there's a fact that at this stage, her feelings for Haruki was beginning to develop, meaning she hadn't loved him yet. She has known Haruki longer than Setsuna, she has been given many chances but in the end, she didn't take the initiation. And then, when Setsuna confronted her. Touma kept denying her true feelings which only worsen the situation. My bet was that, even if she did admit that she was in love with Haruki, Setsuna would still willing to be her friend. (that's why she kept asking was it ok to take Haruki away). Well, Touma is mainly at fault here. Its understandable for Setsuna to take the initiation, be with Haruki and maintaining the relationship with her best friend. Even Haruki did not aware of Touma's true feelings because she did not say or act anything. She didn't show her affection on him, only silence. My speculation why Setsuna confronted Touma was to guarantee whether or not Touma is truly deeply in love with Kitahara, cause she isn't sure, it's just woman intuition that she might thinks Touma likes Haruki. tl;dr: In other words, Setsuna had Touma green lit to force things her own way. If Touma was honest with herself in the beginning, there's pretty much no WA2 to watch. |

| Beaver897, Touma lying and and hid their feelings so long, but now when she couldn't keep her feelings for herself and lying again instead now ruin others life with her confession? Everyone will be happy with this, especially Setsuna and Haruki... -.- Eh, I just hate when such things happen in a&m... -.- Why when there is couple, there will be always somebody who will start messing with them... -.- |

Depending on what ending they pick from the VN you're going to see some absolute horridness go down. |
| After first episode I was prepared for Haruki/Touma ending, but now after all these episodes... but now... everything but not this... Why creators spoiled us with that ending in first episode! I don't get it! -.- Well... looks I will dislike all endings and love all abandoned girls from WA... -.- |

I guarantee you they will go with the one that will incite the most rage, because like the above commentator said. It makes the most sense with Haruki's character. |
