| one of the best episodes, a mix of feelings |
| The way this show can handle visual storytelling is one that I could call genuinely brilliant. The way the two dates were framed in comparison to another and how it was represented in the two movie posters, the way Kondo's date when he was younger quickly flashed by after he saw that the cafe was full of young people. Though a little on the nose, the mirror between the two dates was done well. Also Tachibana is an absolute gem in every way; it was especially adorable how she wanted to save things from their first date. |

| nooo stahp it! Stop having sexy eyes for the unaccompanied minor and you stop leading him on and blonde guy stop being a weirdo sexual predator! God, where are the normal people at?! |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| lol that long haired dude has got no braincells. i can undrstand wanting to get close to her but he's never gonna get her by acting that way. great way to make someone hate you. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Aww man, I was hoping that the blonde dude would be a cool guy, like, a cool guy, but I guess that's not the case. |
 |
| something tells me the blondie typecast would have a recurring appearance and will bring forth the hammer of reality the scummy way possible. Iam loving the storytelling of the show through visual cues , gestures and atmosphere of the world with limited bgm . |
| I was strange how she just gave in to the blackmail. Anyway, I feel kinda weird watching this series, as I'm closer to Kondo's age than Tachibana |

The ending of the episode shows that Akira isn't willing to cross the line, and I guess the major tension in this anime will be if she ever crosses the line.
It was really interesting to see the juxtaposition of the two dates. They both do the same thing and have similar results. While its clear Akira is happier in the second date, both dates fail because both people weren't fully committed to it. I feel this episode would have been much more interesting if Akira was the one who planned it, and ended up just doing the same things she did on the first date. However, the story didn't take that route.

| @Phaetons_Folly I really didn't fully diggest it that way until you mentioned it, thanks for the feedback. |

| I'm missing the beautiful shots of the first few episodes, but DANG this pacing is great. The parallels and inversions between Akira's two dates are AMAZING to see, and the stuff involving the manager's memories is just.... so relatable. The use of music, silence, and the silly aspect ratio change is also super fun. |
| Damn lots to unpack in this episode, blonde dude should focus on chicks that actually are interested lol, who wants to drag around a sack of potatoes |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
