That op is extremely different then the last one 0_0

Linda is handsome :P

Koko's scream when she said she was nervous :3

In the nose :O

What a weird way to cheer up someone and Linda's face http://imgur.com/XXy2sV2 :P

"Thought of him as my younger twin" Damn that perspective still creeps the hell out of me...

That ghost is out to get him.

Nana punch! He deserved that XD

That cooking scene when she saw him was hilarious.

The ost was outstanding this episode, the whole thing was just amazing :D

Now we see the true Ghost Banri.

He is a jerk full of hatred and he desires to destroy everything that doesn't come along with his own goals.
I think at the end he will vanish cause linda probably gonna fall in love with somebody else and banri's feelings for kouko will win over the feelings for linda.

But I'm glad that we see his true personality now.
I don't see it that way. The dude isn't a jerk for wanting to live his own life. I think the "ghost" has a pretty valid reason to be angry... it's really his body, and this other Banri who basically stole his body is now completely disregarding his former self simply because it's hard. The very fact that he still exists easily gives him the right and reason to fight back. It's not "hatred", it's standing up for the love he felt for Linda. You might be right about him disappearing in the end, but giving up and fading away would not be "nice".

Basically what these two already said:


I'm not completely against Banri X Kouko, but that would be kinda cliche for the first love interest introduced to be the one in the end. The biggest disappointment for me personally would be if Linda were sidelined and placed with Mitsuo, which seems to obviously be what they're hinting at. I like Mitsuo, but it's like saying those two are just the next most important characters so they should be together, which would be way too generic in my eyes.


His only Intention is to make the new Banri unhappy cause his feelings for Kouko are stronger. There is a huge difference in fighting for his love and his body than just trying to make someone else unhappy.

And in this case it would be better if he never regains his former self since Ghost Banri is a person with a very bad personality.

But I still think Ghost Banri will dissapear when Linda will start dating someone else. And like you have said there are hints that it might be Mitsuo.

One more time: I don't like Koko's personality, but his character design makes me cheer for him.

About the show: I'm looking for some character development in next episode(s). "There are two banris, opposite wishes, blablabla." Ok, I get it. Gimme sum develop.

EDIT: How could I forget to comment the Nana scene?? BEST episode sequence!

New OP and ED are pretty good.

Episode had a few funny moments but the ending kinda killed it when Banri just rejected Kouko at the park. All the misfortune stuff is pretty stupid too.

I know this is nit-picky, but does anyone else feel like the openings should have be switched? The first opening was a huge giveaway to the romance and Koko was sad (like in OP 2) for the majority of the first half. I don't get the logic really.

Haha, Koko sticking her lipstick in her nose followed by the snaps like west side story
The festival looked very cool

Didn't expect Nana coming out punching Banri, Koko running up the stairs then talking with her exaggeration was amusing
Another highlight was the Air Yakisoba

Argh that ghost Banri doesn't add any good at all!

Oh that 2 piece swimsuit on the preview :P

That's horrible logic... yes he's haunting him, but with good reason. He has every right to his own body... the new Banri is essentially stealing "Ghost Banri's" body. Only a pushover would just give up and let someone else take over their own body. The present Banri is literally ignoring the fact that his old self is still there, abandoning the old Banri, and simply discarding Linda like trash telling her they will only be fake friends. New Banri's a much worse person.

Imagine this:
Three ally soldiers (A and B and the girl that Soldier A is in love with) are under heavy fire...They make a run for a nearby building... and Soldier A is right behind the other two, but Soldier B decides to shut the door and lock it before Soldier A can get inside. Soldier A dies and becomes a ghost. There's a trap door inside, but Soldier B decides that the girl will slow her down, and pushes her aside, and goes down and locks the trap door.

Now, the girl was secretly in love with Soldier A (who is now dead) and is now left with the thought that if she had realized Soldier B's intent, she could've stopped him. Instead of killing her, the enemy soldiers rape her and leave her with nothing. Soldier B gets away scott free and finds some beautiful French girl and lives happily ever after.


Let's assume ghosts are real... you're saying Soldier A would be a horrible person if he comes back to haunt Soldier B?

Meh, you support ghost banri because you are Linda shipper. Good reason ? Ghost is banri obiviously an evil.
Evil from whose point of view? We could just as easily argue that current Banri is evil for stealing Ghost Banri's life and whatnot


and is Current banri knowing ghost existense? he is know nothing, right? he just trying to life normal... current banri stealing what? you say people who have amnesia stealing body? stealling body? stealing? Open wiki what is the definition of stealing..? he use his normal sense..
is people who have amnesia then his old memory turn into ghost?
he tried forget past. Banri past = nigtmare.

Not really... I just don't see how Ghost Banri is doing anything wrong, he's simply fighting for what is rightfully his. Present Banri is the one who should go in my eyes.

I do prefer Linda over Kouko, but I don't hate Kouko x Banri. Hell, I definitely wouldn't want Linda with the new Banri.

And as I said in previous episodes I don't have anything against Kouko, but I definitely don't think she's someone worth dating... she may feel bad about how she is, but it doesn't change how she is. Unless she changes herself I don't believe their relationship could last even half a year in real life. But mainly I just think that their relationship is completely false if the only way to make it work is pretend like the past isn't there, and set Linda as less than friends.

I would be perfectly satisfied with Banri x Kouko, as long as it's delivered right. Hell, my biggest fear; Linda x Mitsuo I could accept if they play things right, as well. But for now it feels like the end is going to be a bit disappointing and they're just going to finish with Banri x Kouko simply because she's the main love interest.

Actually it was hinted that he does know that the other Banri is there. I'm pretty sure he said something along the lines of "I know my former self is still there" a few episodes ago when Ghost Banri first came back and screamed.

Dismissing his argument as "you just ship Linda" is basically saying "you win with your logic but KOKO IS SO CUTE!".

Both Banri's are actively attempting fight the other. One just openly said that he is going to fight and ofc he gets all the shit because people happen to like the girl the present Banri is currently dating.

The episode was average at best, nothing really interesting stood out besides a couple of funny scenes. Besides that the story plot didnt move what so ever. I was hoping the new opening of goldentime would take the route of toradora's 2nd opening but it seems that there going to ship tadaxkoko, seems like linda doesnt even have a chance.

I don't know about you, but in my eyes Banri x Kouko relationship is very... unnatural. Simply put, I don't think Banri "truly" likes Kouko. And I also have this feel that Kouko's true object is to make Mitsuo jealous.... or something like that.

This is my view on the current situation.


Yes but who knows. Maybe when Kouko starts to feel for Mitsuo again, Banri will feel jealous and regret. Right now, Banri doesn't know the REAL Kouko yet but later he'll probably understand her more and care for her more.......but by that time it's probably too late when Koko is back with Mitsuo

Mitsuo is irrelevant at this point. When did he show up along Kouko last time?
Why would she kiss and declare love towards Banri?
Stop being retarded.

I doubt they will have sex. The most it will be a kiss with the way this series has been so far. Maybe not even that, maybe Present Banri will just have another meltdown and do something stupid like phone her up and say its over I love Linda.

I thought it was pretty good, since that's the exact same thing that's happening. :o

The only difference being that Linda didn't get raped. But basically just meant 1) Banri/Soldier A is in love with Linda/the girl soldier. 2) Banri/Soldier B ignores ignores him, and just lets him die. 3) Banri B pushes Linda aside and leaves her behind. 4) Linda has regrets, Banri B gets a "beautiful French woman" (I don't know if she's French, but you get the idea). Anyway, I was just trying to show why I disagree with the Ghost Banri hate.

Opening was interesting but I felt it was too much noise getting in the way of the vocals. Liked the 1st one better.
New ending was great.

The festival scene was nice. The whole "hey, hey, hey" thing was kinda weird though.
Nice to see that Koko wasn't dancing like a robot this time.

Ghost Banri is a dick. Can't believe he actually seems to have the ability to "curse" him.

hm i dont know the reason why i said that is because despite how happy go lucky the show was at first it suddenly got really serious with the whole amnesia thing and koko pretty much having a breakdown not to mention that scene with banri and linda at the party... i just sorta have a feeling shits gonna get really serious and even more messed up

new banri and ghost banri is a bad person in my opinion ...

new banri: he refused to accept his feelings on linda and throw it away without considering her feelings. He knew something happened between them in the past, but he told linda to pretend something did not happen!? very easy for him because he doesn't remember perfectly but how about linda? at least he should talk to her properly, make sure what actually happened at that time, and although in the end he prefers kouko least he also gives a chance to linda

banri ghost: what the heck is he trying to do? I don't need to explain about him, most of the people here already know.

so I conclude that banri (new+ ghost) is a selfish person ...

I partially agree, but at the same time it's hard to blame New Banri for that... it's not his fault that Linda is saying she didn't love him. Though, if he remembers when he met her outside the hospital, that's a different story. But as much as I love Linda, because he did ask her if she really didn't have feelings for him, before he said that. But it still is kind of a dick move to tell her they will pretend to be nothing more than acquaintances.

I think, because Linda blames herself, she doesn't think she deserves Banri, so she's lying about her feelings (in the past, I think she just wasn't sure how she felt about taking their childhood friendship to the next level). I also think she realizes that if she said "Yes I love(d) you." then that would be the end of it, and Banri would go to her, but she knows that would be unfair to Kouko. And because of that, she's simply following the only option she can see.
banri ghost: what the heck is he trying to do? I don't need to explain about him, most of the people here already know.
I know this has already been said (by others and myself), but I'll still say again that all he wants is his own body. I think he has the right to it. If this was an alien *cough*Yeerk slug in his brain controlling him, and Banri was trapped within his own body and the exact same situation occurred... no one would have a single problem with "Ghost Banri" fighting back.

3/5

Episode a bit limp while being based on a setting slice of life the story today, I did not like.
Through no fault of Koko, not because I want to break a lance in his favor, but the one from "trashing" is Banri! What the hell is useless.
You, I can understand it, it's his way of making, playing his game to keep the nullity of man.
Between frivolity and curses, the episode you save more for the way we do girls mean Linda, Nana and Koko for the protagonist protagonist less than usual! XD

What happened to the male protagonists that you can define men? D:

New opening song is not good to my ears. That strange dance with the creepy face was really disturbing as if they were calling on a demon. It felt like a filler, so out of place and unnecessary. The rest of the episode was somewhat decent and interesting event with Banri not wanting to give Kouko a kiss. Could it be some regret over his talk with Linda-senpai?

The ghost Banri reeking drama, not sure what to make of that cursing him but I understand why he's doing it, since present Banri is rejecting his old self. People seem to have forgotten about this. You don't reject your old self, you accept it. Present Banri is deserving of what's coming to him for being like that not the Ghost who's being rejected.

They key point is we need Linda-senpai's stance, we have hints to her feelings and her constant sacrificing isn't a good thing she's hurting herself while being considerate to present Banri. It's sad, she see's Banri but yet it's not Banri. Anyways, I hope the next episode is better then this one.

If ghost Banri is so desperate to be with Linda, he should kill her so she becomes a ghost too -_-
But that would be sad because I believe Linda did (is doing) the right thing. If she is/was really in love with Banri, she wanted/wants Banri to be happy. And he is happy with Koko.

Opening was interesting but I felt it was too much noise getting in the way of the vocals. Liked the 1st one better.
New ending was great.

The festival scene was nice. The whole "hey, hey, hey" thing was kinda weird though.
Nice to see that Koko wasn't dancing like a robot this time.

Ghost Banri is a dick. Can't believe he actually seems to have the ability to "curse" him.


I am so glad you said this! I thought I was the only one who found the music a bit too... loud. The new OST's as well seem louder than the character vocals.

Wow ghost Banri is really vengeful.

I like the implications of this take on amnesia. If your personality is lost after a traumatic event, is it basically like starting over as a new self? It's a weird thought that your old personality could linger around you as a "ghost"

Interesting OP. Koko is by herself for most of it except for the end. Some potential foreshadowing?

I did always have a feeling that old/ghost Banri had some issues, guess I was right. Looks like the second half of this series is going to be a heck of a rollercoaster :

With Koko going to Spain I know exactly where this is going >.> Didn't they agree to go to the beach together? What happened with that?

Ugh. Ghost Banri is awful. I dislike him as a plot device in the first place because I think having an amensia ghost is just stupid, and now he is trying to ruin Banri's happiness (which doesn't even really make sense). Why can't he just get over Linda. They were never together anyway.

Am I the only one who noticed the minor and sad undertones of the OP? I think we are in for rough times for Koko.... But there may be hope.
