| I don't think this was as strong as last week's episode, but I'm sticking with it anyway. The belief that a friendship between two people who are mutually attracted to each other must always evolve into a romantic relationship is something that I just don't believe, so I'm not particularly rooting for Rikuo x Shinako. Get in there Haru, he's all yours. |
| This is so fkn good! I was scared it would turn into a love triangle after the first episode, but it's ended up being something like a love square with Rou coming into the picture. A little bit confused at the end, but I'm guessing Rikuo was hinting that he'd stop being friends with Shinako and wait until she's ready. I feel bad for Haru, since she's the one dealing with Kataomoi. I can see it already though, Rikuo starts to fall in love with Haru, right when Shinako finds the courage to be with him. This is so realistic, I love every bit of this! At times hopeful, at other times heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, but a super relatable and interesting story nonetheless. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Oh god, "wah wah, the guy I "loved" as I kid died early and I can't move on with my feelings, even though it's been 6 years and I'm now a grown up". STFU, bitch. Trash anime, dropped, rated 1/10. |
| Great episode. Loved the calm music and the backgrounds that got revealed. Also I like Haru more and more. Nice that they shoed the teacher with the coworkers at the after-party. Better than your usual school girl main char stuff. |
| poor sensei i did not see that coming :( |
| This show is amazing, rooting for Haru |
 |
| I am in love with the characters of this show. I feel the most sorry for Shinako. The person she loved died and she's having a difficult time moving on. I've experienced losing both grandparents and my father and it is extremely to difficult to move on from the death of a loved one. I'm liking Rou, how stupidly cheeky he is to confront Uozumi at his workplace. |
| 臭い- |
| It's a safety pin, people! Not a paper clip. Turns out that is/was a trend recently - https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/11/14/safety-pin-solidarity/ Anyways... Go, Go, Haru-chan! |

When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| This is actually getting good |
 |
| Well to be honest I didnt like that shinako, but now I understand her a little bit. And Im grateful that this anime gonna have full adapt anime I also like the animation. (btw I didnt read the manga) |
| "Where ever you are in this world. I will always going to find you.." "Who cares if we can't see any sunshine, I want you more than any Blue Sky.." "I hope you'll remember me, even just a little bit.." "Even if the world is destroyed, I still want to see your smile again.." "I'm the one who lived my life just to meet you, just like cherry blossoms waiting for the spring.."  |
| This is gonna hurt, isn't it? :) |
 |
| Man, I loved the way they transits the Ending (ED) with the song's 2nd chorus. That's such a nice touch! And their ED format is really versatile. Truly a remarkable Anime ED of the year. And of course, we can't forget about the amazing cinematography. |

It's fitting considering the time. |
 |
| Another great episode. I'm happy the quality didn't drop from the first episode. I'm really rooting for Rikuo and Shinako but it seems it will take some time for Shinako to sort out her feelings. I just can't see Rikuo and Haru as a couple and besides, I think what Haru really needs is a family. I'd love to see all three stay together somehow though. |
| Great animation..seems to be one of the better ones this season. |
| I kinda like how there is no OP for this anime, it matches the atmosphere that this anime gives off. I thought that they would include Haru's reaction to the album cover in this episode. But I guess it's not that big of a deal to not include it. Really liking this anime so far, quite eager for next's eek episode. |
 |
| This was really good. Love the feel of the show. Things just got more complicated. First I thought Shinako and Rou had some thing going but it turns out it was with his brother. Hopefully the upcoming drama is good, wouldn't like this show to disappoint me because as of now it's really really promising. |
| and here I thought they will tackle more about what it actually means to enter soyciety. or that you graduated only to become aimless. or that you wasted college for what amounts to nothing. nope, it gradually reduced into mere personal relationship problems. dropped. PS I'm actually glad and proud that I dropped college. |

| It might be a bit early to say this two episodes in, but this show could be the dark horse of the entire Spring season. It's been really impressive so far. The character building with our main four has been very good. Some users here might stick their noses up to any kind of "melodrama", but this show is using that to its full advantage and doing it really well. All four characters here, Haru, Rituo, Rou and Shinako, have their reasons of sadness and their struggles of moving on in life, which does make me want to see all four of them find the happiness that they deserve. Getting to that goal will have its challenges, though, so I do look forward to seeing how things progress next time. =) |
| ^ if you ask me, the biggest relationship fork road is at age 13-14 when girls get their first period. the fork road is either education or pregnancy. if you pursue education (in which case everyone here chose), then obviously you're choosing careers. you don't get education only to get pregnant that's ridiculous. my personal takeaway with this two episodes is that if you take education this is what you end up: aimless, don't know what to do, anxiety etc. this is the choice they all made, and they should live with their choices. anyway, dropped. I get the feeling this anime will just glorify the education choice. and they wonder why their birth rates are so low. |
| >I had no brain when I was 12 >Then everyone must had no brain when they were 12 >I experimented 100 samples and proved that they had no brain when they were 12 >Therefore children cannot consent This is what science has done to humanity. |
| Shinako is a pain in the ass of a woman. Having your first love die is sure to be traumatic but it's been 6 fucking years. If i was in Rikuo's shoes i'd nope the fuck out, that girl will drive you nuts. |
| Holy shit I don't know where this anime is gonna take its direction in but all I can say is that this episode was fucking amazing; not because of how well scripted and visually imposing it was but because of the fact that I could relate so hard to this... because goddamn I did not knew spring 2020 was gonna bring home the adaption that hits home so hard to what I experienced irl When Uozomi asked Kinoshita if a man and a woman can be "just friends" it was a holy shit moment because it was not within my expectation for an anime to cover this kind of topic of unrequited love in such a realistic manner. And holy shit the fucking ending, I didn't realized it could get better but it DID. In these kind of scenarios you can't just give up, not when you keep thinking that the person that you're attracted to is the best option around, the one, in a sense; it's why they chose to not be friends anymore, but Uozomi knows that it's impossible for him to abandon his feelings, because he felt that he have a chance there, and so did Haru because that's exactly what it is despite Shinako adamantly denying such a possibility. Uozomi deciding to say he have ulterior motives implies that he will wait it out because he hopes that one day Shinako will still accept his feelings, but deciding to stop being friends is meant to reject the idea that a man and a woman can still be friends even if one party is in a different relationship; this is also a result of the tension from his rejection because at the moment it is still far too awkward to be friends and stay friends, at least not until Uozomi forgets about his feeling... which he won't because he's a fucking CHAD... or rather because he can't get over it... but anyways yeah. Will be looking forward to where this anime goes, dunno when the manga did llol simp rant hours |

| Very good episode. Art and music excellent like usual. Really realistic and relatable story, and I like the development of Shinako as a character and found her to be very relatable. Honestly, I dislike the idea of Rikuo and Shinako being together. The idea of them forcing themselves into even a simple friendship is unfair for both of them. Shinako is still healing from the past and she'll feel guilty for leading Rikuo on. |
| Ah this anime keeps me on edge for some reason. Maybe a sense of foreboding... Love triangle eh. I'm not fan of them since my party always lose in the end |
 |
| ED is awesome <3 I doubt that I'm the only one who got 5 centimeters per second vibes from it? I'm also feeling relived that Shinako felt like that towards him otherwise would have been for nothing. Can someone time leap me to next week already... |
| Shinako is a perfect example of a wahman with emotional baggage and just overall a pain and unfun to be with. I can see this already in some college students so again, relationship fork road is at 13-14. you can only choose between education or pregnancy. you can't have both. or end up with issues, baggage or simply aimless like the guy in ep1. |
| >I had no brain when I was 12 >Then everyone must had no brain when they were 12 >I experimented 100 samples and proved that they had no brain when they were 12 >Therefore children cannot consent This is what science has done to humanity. |
| My heeeart~ emotional baggage is strong in this, I can't wait to find out how it's planning to rip my soul apart. Team Haru~~ |
| Finally an anime about mature people dealing with romance in a mature way... kinda tired of waitng three seasons and 4 ovas + a movie adaptation for a hand holding scene.. Also that (i'm kinda tired of love) hit different when you're single and depressed |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |
| ok sensei cut her hair, now she looks like a potato XD still cute tho |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| Can someone please give that Rou guy some money so he can buy a proper earring?... Anyways, not sure what to think about this bad boy wannabe but considering he has a thing for his teacher, I can only assume he will be around just to complicate things. Hope I'm wrong and they use his character in a more creative way tho. Overall, I get this series' intentions but I couldn't help but find this episode extremely boring. I mean, it was nice to get more info about Shinako's past and the reason as for why she acts so melancholically but honestly, it will take some time for me to empathize with her. That said and as with her, I hope next episode can be focused on Haru and more importantly, I really hope Rikuo's character receives more attention anytime soon because so far, I can't understand what's so special about him in order to have two women interested in him. |

| This anime series still manages to give me good vibes with this episode very focused on the figure of Morinome: although not very original in the plot, the fact of having characters that are not exactly perfect under the plane of social life, makes them closer to the spectator who certainly does not expect perfect characters and then also art intended as the style of drawing and the backgrounds, and the soundtrack to make this animated work tasty. As far as I am concerned, this anime series has passed the litmus test, even if there was no need since the first episode had convinced me. P.S The new character is amusing in his way of speaking and in his way of doing. |
