| The directing in this is amazing, the long cuts with organic background sounds when Koutaro was unsure on how he should text was great, and the general use of visuals without dialogue are so engaging. They really nailed how middle schoolers act and think, its so fresh. |
| Great episode! The mood was really lovely this time and they portrayed the anxiety of young people when communicating over mobile phones today just right. Glad Kotarou made the first step in the end (even though I think she won't give him straight answer this time or she runs away). In love, it usually wins the one who is bold enough to share his feelings, not the one who hesitates. Still, the awkwardness between two of them when they were sitting by shrine was also done well. Such thing as unability to talk casually to each other can be dealbreaker in love, no matter how strong the feeling between two people are. But they can talk over the phone well so I guess they can overcome this hurdle in time. Also, kinda interesting to see that we may be dealing with love polygon here, I'm pretty much curious how Chinatsu and Takumi reacts now (but my guess is they won't tell them right away so it's very possible they'll try to confess too). |
| AAGGGHHH!!! YOU JUST MAKE A WRONG MOVE KIDDO! YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENCE TO MAKE A POPULAR GIRL LIKE AKANE YOURS! DO NOT RUSH THINGS! DO NOT GET CAUGHT OF THE MOMENT! AND THAT CLIFF WHATTHEF***!()@*$&@(&$!!! 青春っていいな~ |
 |
| They are really cute together lol innocence is so good when ur in love hahaha, well wasnt expecting for a confession, but good job now lets see what she says next episode, i feel like there will be alot of couple change´s in this anime i dunno why....but i do lol |
| wtf dude this is too cute for me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SAY SOMETHING CURLY BRO |

| I've already fallen pretty hard for this show. I rewatched episode 2 at least 3 times while waiting for this one, and I have a feeling I'm going to end up rewatching this episode several times this week as well. Gets me right in the feels. I also especially love how they developed their relationship through LINE. Felt so true-to-life to me. Anyway I'm going to die waiting for Akane's response next week. |
| Fantastic episode, really captured the mood of texting someone you like an really being careful with what you say. Great insert song, and what a cliffhanger. Feels like it's too early for that though, like bad news, she already said yes to the other guy. Hope not |
 |
| Wait...what's this...THE MAIN PROTAGONIST ASKED HER OUT. DAMN HE ACTUALLY ASKED INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR MULTIPLE EPISODES. Other than that, like so many people above have said, I enjoyed that moment at the end, especially with the shots we got of both of them and his sincerity of when he asked. I also really liked how the lit club superstition tied in with what Akane's friends were saying. Overall, this was a really good episode. P.S. That montage though. |
 |
| SAY YES AKANE DAMN IT. Loving this anime right now. |
 |
| This feels so real. Seems to be a lot of pressure at school to go out with someone. I expect more awkwardness is the future. |
| Cute episode. Somehow the boy seems more girlish than the girl, I think. He got an oracle from a book and here comes a beautiful moon, the title of the show, already. |
| I fist bump myself because i can't fist bump him lol that was unexpected and i love the sound track especially the piano starting around the 20th minute. Does anyone know what song that is or where to even find it? |
| I thought I would have to wait 10 episodes to see a confession from anyone in this. It really surprised me for some reason. It was a cute episode. :) |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| Dawwwww. That was so cute :D I guess this isn't the typical 'will they won't they' romance story, but the 'how does this relationship play out' kind of one, which I like~ |

Lightningkid said: If this anime ends up with 12 episodes I'm so done with this industry Honestly I'd prefer 12 excellent episodes rather than 24 with prolonged overused cheap drama. But hey if they can bring out 24 episodes with the same quality I'm not going to stop them. |
| this show is so cute i can't take it i really hope she says yes ahh ;_; |
 |
| Man that's some beautiful artwork in this show. Almost as impressed with it as I was when Hibike first came out. The insert song along with the flowing visuals of the track meet and shrine cuts gave me goosebumps. What's with this season's insert songs and images? SukaSuka's Scarborough Fair and now this? Am I in heaven? Still, I'm getting strong 5 cm/s vibes out of this. In a way, I hope it goes somewhat down that route as it could transcend this from a simple cutesy teenage romance to a real amazing anime. Bring the feels. My heart is ready. |
| THE MUSIC IN THE MIDDLE OF EPISODE REALLY SURPRISE ME. IT'S SOUNDTRACK FROM Sora no Otoshimono ANIME. Hatsukoi by Saori Hayami. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uawDqFXIFLg This music give me nostalgic. I wonder are this two animes from the same Studio? |
 |
| Dat cliffhanger!!!! They're so cute together. I'm glass this progressing in a timely fashion instead of holding out till the finale. What will she say?????? |
| I'm really a sucker for this kind of love stories. Such pure love ~ The ending caught me off guard, because it thought it will build up at a slower pace. Now I'm really excited for next week and her answer ^^ |
| guess they will break up at the end cuz the main female will move to tokyo again. this ep metions that her family had lived in tokyo before. |
| Damn this episode was so stressful.The last scene was great but now i can't wait to see what Akane will answer to Kotarou confession. I thought that Akane would go out with that Hira guy and then near the end she will end with Kotarou and may be her friend Chinatsu would make a move on Kotarou. |
| Pretty good episode. Better than the last 2 as well. Did not expect that cliffhanger at all. Way to go my boy. Had the courage to ask her out :D THESE TWO ARE REALLY CUTE TOGETHER. PLEASE SAY YES AKANE. |
  |
| Say yes or kys please |
| Dude has balls.. strike while the iron is hot. Wait too long and he'll risk finding himself in the dreaded friend zone. This is especially true with popular girls. Zemroid said: kaaamos said: Just because you've had experiences (or just assume) like that doesn't mean all girls are like that. Not all girls like guys like the runner guy. They have different tastes like everyone and can easily prefer guys like the mc. Time to broaden your view on people.Realism? LOL. The girl would be done with him after that message because he doesn't have "attitude", she would never have taken the first step of going to meet him out of the blue and also she would have started dating that stud guy waaay before. To top it off, she would give some slight hints to Curly-kun to keep him in orbit, just in case. Lets not kid ourselves and forget that this is anime and these kinds of girls don't exist. Nevertheless, I'm liking this anime a lot, they are so pure, it's heartwarming. I think that guy must have been put in the friend zone too many times after playing the "nice guy" card. |

| The 3rd was really good. I could feel the nervousness and awkwardness lol. And the insert song was a nice touch to it. Loved it. But didn't expected the progress that earlier in the show. I'm just having a bad feeling that the ending will turnout bittersweet. At least that's what the title seems to imply much. |
 |
| So far this show is great. It pictures pure, innocent love of shy youngsters in a way that I can't stop smiling while watching this. It's so heartwarming. Im already way past the age of that kind of romantic love so I appreciate the opportunity to dive in into such cute story that also, at least for me, has slightly nostalgic vibe. |
| The insert song was great. I hope Akane doesn't refuse him! |
 |
| Oh? That was actually faster than I thought, with how slow and meek they both are. I see three things happening. She accepts, of course. She friendzones him out of the bat. Or, it gets complicated and asks for time to consider it, as these kind of tropes usually go. I'm thinking the latter, and it will probably get more complicated, as the series is likely just on a fourth of the way finished. |
| I think this episode reveal a lot of secret that could be happening in the future. Will Akane transfer school because of her father work? Because her sister said that there's a chance for her father have to move again because of work etc.. Will Chinatsu have a fight with Akane because of tracks? Because it seems that Chinatsu is really motivated to beat Akane's record at track. There's also a posibilities of Chinatsu falling in love with Kotarou too etc.. Can't wait for the next episode though that cliffhanger really got me. |
 |
| This was just simply great. At the end there I was getting all warm and fuzzy accompanied by going full on fanboying. Suffice to say when he asked her out I had to pinch myself a little. I not prepared for that, literally from the left field. Had me going " Yooo!!!! Koutarou mah boiiii!!!!" PLEASE SAY YES. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |
| great episode... really like the insert song... Nao Touyama?? can't wait for her reply... |
 |
| Wow,a confession already within 3 eps?The MC sure has balls.He kinda reminds me of Banri from Golden Time. The realism here-you chat alot in phones but in real life,you don't even speak to each other lol. The insert song was also nice,i want to know its name when the ost goes out. I just hope that he doesn't pull a "chill bro that was a joke" thing because if he did,oh boi *triggered* |
 |
| Episode 3 and I can already tell this is gonna be the underdog anime of the season - beautifully paced, well-rounded characters, realistic characterization, soothing music, simple premise. If one were to identify this anime then it's romance at its purest and nothing else. The only complaint I would probably have is the lack of attention it gets. If the rest of the season is on par with what we have until now, then in composition and execution this series can rival popular names like Your Lie in April, Clannad, or even Your Name in terms of romance. Time and time again this industry has demonstrated that the best of the best shows do not necessary generate the most groundbreaking premises, but rather polish the oldest tropes and archetypes to perfection. |

| THIS IS THE BEST ANIME EVER 10/10 AOTS for me already!!! Gogogogogo Let's go Akane. ANd i think what i like the most apart from the best 2 leading charcters and their OVERLY CUTE Relationship, not to mention beautiful songs that are really touching. What i like the most i think is just how realistic it is. Just look at the dialogues, there are no overly long dialogues where you question how a person can actually say so much in real life, especially if its a middle school student. This anime really has realistic dialogues, dialogues are not long,they talk just like a regular person will and that's what i love. |
