Hmmm that’s pretty concerning. I wonder if they’ll do an arc in OVA form or will they skip one. I mean if we suppose they’re gonna adapt all volumes (1 through 5), you’d think the pace would be even faster than this, but that might just be m. Everything will be done in these 13 episodes, since the movie sequel will adapt volume 6 and 7(the best Arc in the series, time for us all to bawl our eyes out yay) |
| Seems like Mai needs very little explaining. I really love how these two can just discuss everything fair and square, and understand eachother perfectly. It's such a relief compared to so many other anime. felipeliborio said: Revoltage1022 said: lmao i bet it is reminding you of the endless eight in suzumiya haruhi Oh, yes... I'll never forget it... Yup, everyone is just referring to groundhog. Meanwhile, while I was wondering how the first arc was completed so quickly, I like you guys am wondering whether we've just found out how the rest of the season will be filled (>.<) That said, I thought the Endless Eight were @#$%^&* brilliant personally. If you actually pay attention to how they were animated, and how they must have been made overall, you'll realise KyoAni could easily have created another seven normal episodes on an equal or even smaller budget. The fact that they made the Endless Eight instead, probably knowing fully well how it would backfire from a audience-appreciative perspective, tells you just how committed they really were. The fact that the resolution of the Endless Eight was on itself completely underwhelming, only adds to that. Most people didn't even get how they served to strengthen the later movie. |

| damn , this anime is actually better than what I imagined |
 |
| I feel like people are giving this whole misunderstanding way too much weight when the two character involved are far from giving it the light of the day. Mai already knew that there was more up to it that meets the eye and waited for an explanation. Sakuta already knew that Mai will tease the hell out of him once she hears the story to the point where he jokes about it. So in a sense this misunderstanding only supports the notion that their bond is already way stronger as if something like that would even dent it. |
| Of course there had to be a misunderstanding... Why does this always happen? This episode lost points for that. Even when they have a valid excuse for it. I'm just glad Mai showed up at his house at the end to hear his explanation. So, Sakuta is pretending to date Tomoe? Hopefully, it all goes well and will allow Sakuta's relationship with Mai to get stronger. Though I feel like Tomoe is really selfish... She's aware Sakuta's dating Mai but she still wants to go through this fake date? And why didn't Sakuta brought her up during the conversation? Oh well, let's just see how it goes from here... A time loop caused by Laplace's Demon... 4/5 for this episode. |

 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| My heart and Brain can't handle everything thats going on in this anime! Like at one point I was like "Fuck you Tomoe" but then Sakuta thought about his sister and I was like "JESUS! I FEEL BAD NOW!" and thats a plus to the writers. Damn man they picked me up with that confession...and then power-bombed me through a table when mai saw Tomoe laying on Sakuta...i was like "NO DAMMIT NO!!!!" I hope Mai understands...side note, she looked beautiful at the end <3 I think...everything might reset to June 27th.. |

| I am going to hold out until next week, because Mai going to Sakuta's house gives me hope that she believes him. This anime was shaping up to easily be one of my favorites, after only 3 episodes. However, the Romantic Misunderstanding trope is my most hated trope ever, and I REALLY hope that it does not bring any forced tension into the relationship between Mai and Sakuta, as a result. That aside, the rest of the episode was amazing. Once again, every moment between Sakuta and Mai makes some of the most adorable interactions. Their relationship feels real and fun, and always brings a smile to my face. |

This is for all the gravy!!! |
| I like how the girls changed in the ending to reflect the arc. Shame they studio doesn't have the budget to give each girl their own OP. |
| I thought Sakuta would get trolled hard but glad it's not the case and Mai is here to hear the juicy details on what the fuck is actually going on this time. She is not best girl for nothing after all. Not a bad start for the new arc imo. |
| That feels more like "Endless 8 syndrome" all over again... 'Haruhi Suzumiya-san, is that you? Please stop messing around with other anime series!' :P |

If you are to die tomorrow, I'm fine with my life ending then as well. But if you want to live for me for one more day,I'll go on living with you today as well. And thus begins a tale of kindred, bound by their scars. Soaked in red and written in black, a story of blood. One of which I'll never speak. Our very own, precious as it is, story of scars. And I have no intention of reciting it to anyone." ~Araragi Koyomi, Kizumonogatari |

Fappa said: And I'm repeating myself again like a robot. No, this is not a harem. No, there is no needless love dramas to push some developments forward ( See Mai appearing at his door ) No, Mai & Sakuta banter won't disappear. No, Mai won't get shafted into the background Yes, their relationship progressed and does not get halted by the arcs of other girls having problems I get that people are scarred from previous bad experiences but this is not one to worry about. This, this is PERFECTION!!!! But yeah in all seriousness I can see why people are worried that this anime will end up becoming one of these since it's actually pretty good, but I'm pretty sure we'll be fine |
 |
| Good episode. I love Sakuta and Mai's banter as always, it's very refreshing to watch and sweet in it's own way. :) I kinda like Tomoe as well, I just hope that the show doesn't devolve into some high school harem. I know people have been posting for quite a while that this show doesn't fall into that rabbit hole so I'll take their word for it. I guess Sakuta is too nice of a person to leave someone in trouble alone, I guess that's a pretty classic MC trait. xD I liked how Mai walked over to his house and asked Sakuta why he didn't bother giving her an explanation, I wanted to see more of that. Too bad the episode ended. :( Looking forward to next week. |
 |
| So Monogatari meets Haruhi Suzumiya at this point. My PTSD is intensifying right now. Though I have to admit, I wasn't expecting Mai to show up at the door at the end. I was thinking she'd take the generic route and act like a cunt for this arc. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I don't like Tomoe at all. Mai-senpai is much better for him. |

| I really didn't like the way things were going with Tomoe pressuring Sakuta into pretending to have a relationship with her but.. Fappa said: And I'm repeating myself again like a robot. No, this is not a harem. No, there is no needless love dramas to push some developments forward ( See Mai appearing at his door ) No, Mai & Sakuta banter won't disappear. No, Mai won't get shafted into the background Yes, their relationship progressed and does not get halted by the arcs of other girls having problems I get that people are scarred from previous bad experiences but this is not one to worry about. This was a big relief to read and I won't need to worry, thank you for that. I'm especially glad that it won't be one of those misunderstandings that make things complicated and instead it seems Sakuta will simply be explaining things to Mai next episode. I still don't like the idea of him pretending to have a relationship with Tomoe though, just because I like Mai and Sakuta's chemistry so much and lying to the whole school about having something going on with Tomoe just feels wrong. I guess we'll just have to see how that plays out. |
| That loop shit gave me some horrific haruhi endless 8 vibes,that being said Sakuta and Mai are so fcking fun together, so a loop problem eh, this'll be fun. |
  |
| lol they kept up the Groundhog Day gimmick until it fucks MC up i really dont like Tomoe and how she operates...Mai is better and cuter. i really love this show's dialogue especially with MC |
| While Tomoe's feelings of insecurity at school might be relatable, she's still quite the selfish girl. Tomoe has no consideration whatsoever of Sakuta's own love life. When you ask for such favors, usually it should be mutually beneficial and not harmful. While Mai isn't your typical female MC and definitely won't leave the misunderstanding alone, as we saw at the end of the episode, that doesn't make Tomoe's lack of consideration any better. Also, if you're afraid that you rejecting some guy who your friend was gunning for and end up getting shunned, then are they seriously your friends? Back in middle school and high school, my group of friends usually had one or two people liking the same guy, and it's never hindered any our relationships. Perhaps it's because none of us would ever really go for it. Still, Tomoe's insecurities should make her realize that if their friendship falls apart due to some guy asking her out, then it was a fragile relationship and she could get better friends. Anyways, I'm more interested in Futaba. It does suck that she likes someone who has a girlfriend, but I'm looking forward to her arc. |
| I'm relieved that Tomoe isn't a trap her chest is just flat still I am not taking liking towards her character she wants to keep her lie going without thinking about or asking MC situation it felt too selfish Or it might be that I like Mai It's going bakemonogatari route |

| - Thanks god it wasnt Endless eight that eat lot of episode. - Sakuta, lucky for you damn rascal.. you doesnt need to feel the torment of the time looped 15,532 times. BlackFIFA19 said: Volume 1 = Bunny Senpai(Mai) Volume 2 = Chibi Devil Kouhai(Koga) Volume 3 = Logical Witch(Futabu) Volume 4 = Siscon Idol(Nodoka) Volume 5 = Stay At Home Imouto(Kaede) - volume 1 = 3 episodes - volume 2 = 3 episodes - volume 3 = 2 episodes - volume 4 = 2 episodes - volume 5 = 3 episodes - yes, 13 episodes.... it would be like that. the opening intro spoil all the arcs anyway. |

| Now Loading..... |
| Got some Haruhi vibes from this episode Although it was just an episode to introduce and start building this new arc, it was pretty good |
| Mai is increasing her cuteness each episode! Unfortunately she wasn't much focused this episode, and i really miss her in this episode! Mai is the best girl! Her blushing time are priceless! I am really impressed how Futaba expressed this new problem from Tomoe with Laplace Demon, i got shocked after seeing the time repeating, "time leap" put me scary because Steins Gate! Poor Sakuta, got dragged into Tomoe, and couldn't celebrate the day where Mai acepted his request to become his girlfriend officlially! I was worried about Mai, but i am glad that she went to Sakuta's house to hear the explanation! |
 |
| Seems like Mai got NTR'd lmao Still waiting for the blonde girl. She looks sexy asf in the opening. |

I really like Tomoe (Especially how raw the way she speaks) so I'd hate to start to dislike her thinking that she was getting in the way of the best ship of the year Other than that, this was a fun episode (Mainly the parts with Mai and Futaba - Speaking of her, I had a feeling that she liked the other dude lol) but I didn't like how Tomoe kinda forced this situation onto Sakuta, that wasn't cool imo |
