At first, I wasn't sure what to think of Saki other than a stalker, but I can easily say that she's a great addition to the cast.

Becoming friends with Kaori and having their date was really nice. It was also a nice touch that she could relate to Kaori's problem with hers as well.

The best moment was when she re-introduced herself to Kaori in the classroom and effectively ended the 'rule' that Kaori and Hase made. Not only that, but Saki's other friends wanted to introduce themselves to Kaori, so hopefully, other classmates will become much friendlier with Kaori from now on.

I couldn't stop smiling the entire episode! =3

THIS EPISODE! THIS FREAKING EPISODE!!! My heart!!!!! SO many feels!!!!!! Man I was so happy at the end that I actually teared up!
Saki is so weird and floaty that I love her!

This might be the most heartwarming thing I've ever seen. What a beautiful show~

This series keeps proving to me every week that its one of the most sincere slice of life's iv seen in a while and has a level of heart not found in others, its so calming, sweet, and puts me in such a good mood. Characters are lovable and the show is so laid back and relaxed it begins to stand out from the rest. really looking foreword to the next 7 weeks

also that ending was so sweet

Ahhhh! So much fuwa feeeels.. This was really a happy episode! I'm glad that Fujimiya finally has friends!

And I'm quite impressed. Welp, we often see new character appearing out of nowhere in some animes and I think this is the very first time that I actually liked a new character.

Usually, I feel out of it and lose all interest when a new character turns up (Frequently seen when an anime gets a next season, there's always a new character).

I guess for me it just depends on what and how the character's personality was created.

...And Saki was that character who broke the record! I never thought that a day would come that I would appreciate a new character! XD

I'm 26 and there isn't too many slice of lifes that can make me smile the whole episode. Light and fluffy doesn't normally appeal to me because I like to see more adult realistic dramas, but this show is wonderfully created. Here's to the hope that the rest of the series carries all these feelz with it!

I don't necessarily believe that she recognized Hase-kun, but it wouldn't be too odd to speculate that she only forgets friends, but would remember those she "loves".

A really funny episode, it's been a long time since I ever laugh a lot, specially when Hase started to feel jealous for Saki and Kaori, I can't wait the next episode, believe me, it's going to be a real good one.

This series is just amazing.

There's literally nothing to ever hate about, which is nice compared to a lot of the bickering that goes on with other animes. This is just a cute slice of life anime with every episode full of heartwarming feels.

I planned to watch this when they first announced it, and went into it thinking it was going to be a super sad feels trip for the entire thing. It's definitely a feels trip, but I'm glad it turned out to be a super happy one.

I really enjoyed this episode. Saki is a very likeable character, yeah, many said that she's annoying but in my opinion, she pulled off a character development from Kaori which I liked.

But I still want more of Kaori and Yuki moments. Now to mention that the next episode will be about Kaori's mother and visiting their house.
The world shall know the truth soon.

Yeah... nope.
Everyone seems to have enjoyed this a lot. I didn't.
Sure, Saki did make everything progress a lot, but that feels like it's coming from nowhere.
That day, for no reason, a girl that seems like she has some sort of mental inferiority just comes for no reason and asks to be her friend (or her sister, or her mother ._.). And just like that she's like super pushy with everything and in one second they're best friends.
If this really is just justified as a random encounter, and that at the end we don't discover that, like, she was sent by a mystical goddess of marvel to make her remember stuff, then it just makes no sense.
Until now, except Kaori's problem which is the center of the anime, all characters were pretty normal. Now you have that girl with a totally abnormal character that comes in and of course makes everything progress a lot because she makes NO SENSE AT ALL but is exactly what Kaori needed to have her progress.
Yeah, no. I didn't like this. But at least the anime progressed, so yeah.

This anime is great. I somehow really like anime with alot of characters that are loners and was bullied. It's just very relatable. After watching this episode i cried alot when i suddenly remembered my past that i threw away and was really thankful for the friends i manage to make slowly after that.

aw shit nigga , dat gurls kawaii
dat sloppy walkin style
dat airhead attitude and lazy voice
dat cute expression

Hase as entered stalker mode. Creepiness overload. No I'm just kiddin', though, he's so jelly. At least, she remembered her right here at the end.

Damn, Kiryuu is one good friend. He followed him all day even if he didn't gave a crap about what they were doing xD

Fujimiya was rocking that bunny outfit. So fucking cute.

That girl will surely had a new dynamic. This could get really interresting.

7/10 for this episode.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

Pretty much summed what I was about to post. At first I thought I'd hate her because I could feel Chinatsu's voice vibes from her, but then she suddenly became my favorite character.

With Saki's carefree character, I was actually thinking that she'd be an annoying character. Well, the first minutes of this episode showed, that my thought was a bit true. But with the time I was impressed. Saki's a really good character who gives the serie a good development.

My thoughts exactly. I'm trying to like this show (and I really did in the first three episodes) but the direction is going nowhere. It also threw in some subtle shoujo-ai which was a no-no for me.

But still an okay episode. At least something happened at the end.

A girl wanting to be friends with another girl is bad and considered blatant yuri on top of that now? Didn't Hase-kun also come from nowhere as far as the anime showed? Blaze-chan made more progress in a single episode than that he did in four.

Saki's so floaty and adorable O__O

She's the perfect confidant to Kaori and would really drive this story forward. Why? Because she does what she pleases and doesn't overthink things. You know...kind of like how Shougo is to Hase. That kind of attitude is perfect for Kaori.

Yeah, I uh, hated Saki's introduction. Outright hated it. "Contrived" is the perfect word for it. I would've been fine with it, had the character been foreshadowed at all, instead of just randomly appearing in order to advance the plot. Really left a sour taste in my mouth throughout the entire episode. I don't really like the character all that much either but my opinion on her did improve by the ending (hated her in the beginning to not liking her by the end - hopefully it at least stays on that side of the spectrum). The only thing I really liked about this episode was the ending.

Somehow I couldn't come to like Saki, but that's just me, like I suspected.

Anyways, if Fujimiya is starting to remember Hase now, what's there for 7 episodes more? I hope not fillers.
