| I really like Hori's mom, she's really sweet and adorable. Her interactions with Hori were very amusing to watch. It was very funny to see Hori going as far as peeping into the boys' changing room just to find out Miyamura's given name lol. The scene where the student council was scolding Hori, kinda pisses me off. They could've talked to her privately instead of causing a scene in front of everyone. But it was really satisfying to see Miyamura headbutting Sengoku, the way he took off his glasses and approached him was really cool. He even made Sengoku traumatized lol. Even though Remi's clumsiness was the cause of that little drama, her crying face was just too adorable. xD |
| its only ep 2 and this kinda exceeded my expectations and enjoying it quite a bit SO FAR especially after watching the original 4 ova eps. speaking of, HOWEVER, i think the ova that covered the second half of this epsiode did a much better job of building things up that lead to Miyamura saving the day with that satisfying headbutt. and here it felt like it was just come and go. tho this version did do good job at the little things like the character reactions (like the ping pong table part) |

| A good episode, as expected, though not quite on par with the first. I knew something felt off and then I realized a decent amount of content from the manga was skipped - but I don't hold that kind of stuff against an adaptation so long as it flows well. Really, this was a set-up/expositional episode. We got some characters introduced, insight to some characters, and set-up for future plot points. That said, the flashbacks with Hori and the president made me remember why I will grow less fond of Hori going forward. But that aside, this episode played it safe. Still a 9/10 series so far. |

| Kyoko and Izumi are so cute together! I really love their tandem. Even Kyoko's mom likes Izumi, now Izumi only needs Kyoko's father's approval and everything is fine. The student council forcing Kyoko to do things is not okay, they even ganged Kyoko. Good thing Izumi is there. Sengoku deserves that headbutt, what a careless gf he have, now he's trwumatized. lmao. But, it's so funny to knoe that Kyoko was also taking advantage of Sengoku. lol The CD compilation of Izumi's favorite musics is just so sweet and cute. It's like sharing and enjoying something they like together. Kyoko will surely get to know more about Izumi. It's a bit fast. I hope everything will still be the same and Kyoko and Izumi's bond will be stronger when they're 3rd years already. Coz I will also be sad if they will separate.  |

| The editing in this show does feel off as some have said. No real sense of transition or time aside from the dialogue cues and that last shot of Miyamura looking at the petals falling lasted too long. I guess it could be a choice of going for skit-style editing, since it is a romcom, but I don't know... It doesn't feel very well-implemented. Still, I think it's cute and innocent fun, I'm enjoying it. |

SHINOBI-03 said: Xenocrisi said: It was just an ok episode. Can’t believe stuff got that dramatic for some pieces of paper Laugh it up now, but wait until it's real job. No but like I’ve actually been the student council president for 2 years in my school, and if something like that were to happen, we talked to teachers or just between us in the council. We for sure don’t go around and make dramatic situations in front of everyone. That’s not professional and the way it was presented here was over dramatic. I know it was for entertainment value and stuff but ugh cringe |
| We're back into some more cute facial reactions, very great art and Hori and Miyamura chemistry. This episode is separated into two parts, Hori figuring our Miyamura's first name (spoilers it's Izumi). Seeing her mess up a bit is really cute, also peeking into men's room (I think i've seen that before eh). And two, with Miyamura denying the allegations that the student council is throwing at Hori, where she is accused of forgetting their budget paper. All along tho it was Remi who was hurrying and pretty much ran away without the paper. Atleast Hori didn't cry on a problem she did not deserve. Seriously, the student council should stop giving her their work. Bonus, it is Hori's birthday! Kinda fast pacing but it is decent on itself. That pause though when Miyamura said they're going to be third years, I guess the setup for drama is on its fruition. I think this is the point where I forgot to continue the manga. Maybe I'll pick it up now but I'm out of time so I guess I'll skip it and go to the anime blind. |

| I'm gonna be that guy, but to me it doesn't work. The thing that makes Horimiya so good is that on the contrary to many other romcom, the main couple feels guenine and relatable. There is a good alchemy between the two protagonists from the start. The anime doesn't convey that. It's seems that they go from one "major" comedy moment to the next one, forgetting all the small more intimate moment that made them believable in the first place. The relation building is really poor here. I'm not for adapting everything, but something feels off. Atavistic said: I felt I had to quote that. I feel exactly the same. If you don't fill the thing up with what you know of the manga, it doesn't work. Well, they are well into volume 2 in 2 episode, no wonder it feels like that. And the pacing and general direction of this show continues to be utterly bizarre to me. We jump through time and between scenes without any real sense of transition (e.g. Hori saying Miyamura has been going to her house for ages already, when it's only episode two and it barely feels like anything more than a week has passed), and half the time the importance of things isn't even explained until after it actually happened, such as with Sengoku and the rest of the student council being introduced without even a modicum of context. Genuinely, am I missing something groundbreaking about this show? It's decent and fairly inoffensive on the whole, but the near-universal praise baffles me based on what we've seen in the show so far. |

| I feel like this ep had a lot of weird pauses and the pacing felt all over the place. It keeps jumping from scene to scene without any transition and I can't even understand how much time passed since the MCs met. Does anyone? When did Miyamura get into their group? So yeah, this would be a bit confusing for me if I didn't read the manga beforehand. And wish they didn't skip the manga content so much so we could get some character development :/ I like the art and music tho. |
| Knowing your anime lyrics, but no other stuff. That was a relatable Hori moment. The present from Miyamura was thoughtful and fitting. Her mom is the typical amusing mom I like. Enjoying this so far, but lol, first name and some papers, these problems are so outlandish. Also agree with other posters that I would prefer it if there wasn't so much jumping around from scene to scene. The flow isn't good. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Why the hell do parents always look like (older) siblings? |
| Great sweet episode as usual. |
  |
| That part when Hori was singing and Miyamura was just looking and listening to her was just too cute ^^ |
| I don't know why, but I've liked this episode way better than the first one :) I'm glad we got to know the rest of the cast a little bit & greatly appreciate the art style this show is using. Guess it lives up to the hype after all. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Hori's mother is one fine women. Quite funny how Hori was the last of her mother and brother to find out Miyamura's first name even though she spends the most time with him. Miyamura's got the president scared of him xD. Wonder how Yoshikawa didn't realize that Miyamura was the person who jumped over the fence when Miyamura took his glasses off to headbutt Sengoku. Already in third year huh? |
 |
| Hori's mom is based haha Poor student council president. He definitely will be haunted for life lol |
 |
| Hori's mom is beautiful like Hori herself. Yes, Miya to the rescue saving Hori from that situation. It wasn't even her fault lmao. That headbutt tho from Miya did not expect that. I would be traumatized after that happened to me as well. |
 |
| I loved this episode as much as I did reading the manga! The head butt still got me LOL! And finally we get to see Remi, Sengoku and Sakura getting animated today! Love the student council trio! Can't wait for next weeks episode!! Overall definitely a 5/5 |
 |
| Pretty good episode overall. I think this series is gonna be pretty good by the end of it. |
| It kind of bugs me that they were forcing all the blame on Hori when it wasn't even her work in the first place. It was Ayasaki's work, thus her responsibility. Idk, the anime tried to play it off as not a big deal after the fact, like "oopsies Ayasaki is such a klutz tehe", when they were lowkey bullying/harassing Hori about earlier. It left a very sour first impression for both Ayasaki and Sengoku. Later on we see due to their past it really wasn't a big deal, but still in the moment it made me hate Sengoku. |
| That fast pacing is something that I have to get used to, apparently. It bothers me quite a bit, since their development feels rushed and forced this way. It's a shame this isn't a double-cour show, because it seems like we're just jumping from one disjointed plot point to the next :/ The Sengoku part seemed a bit contrived, but it was nice to see Miyamura stand up for Hori. Fine episode, looking forward to next week ^^ |
Sawano_Suki said: Chapter 4, 7 and 9 i think (but they skipped like half of chapter 9)Can someone please tell me how many chapters this episode covered because i feel the pacing is moving at light speed. |
Opticflash said: i get your point (commonplace/akward depiction) but Hori's mom actually is a very young motherWhy the hell do parents always look like (older) siblings? i really like how the OST works and transitions with this watercolor background seem lovely to me. agree with some posts that say the flow doesn't feel right, but the humor and pacing of the original material is there and i really enjoyed it. |
| Hori's mum is quite endearing and I love how she managed to get to know Miyamura's first name before Hori herself, a great mum, right there! Originally, after working so hard for the student council and then blaming Hori for something that she hadn't lost was just wrong and I really appreciated the headbutt Miyamura gave to the president. Little did we know that Hori was a naughty girl when she was younger.... Definitely not into that, but I freaking love her. |
 |
| I'm totally in love with this anime. They're adapting the manga so well. <3 Hori's shyness is so cute. |
 |
| Oh my God, this second episode was so damn boring... |
 |
| As soon as I heard Hori's mom's voice, I thought, "That sounds like Ai Kayano!" And I was right! :' ) |

Wow they changed a lot of scenes this episode, most noticably is this scene where Yuki saw Miyamura without his glasses. In the manga (both original and new) Yuki wasn't there to see him headbutt Sengoku cause she was behind the crowd. And by the time she got to the front to regroup with them, Miyamura has already put his glasses back on. It seems like they're going for the romance route despite both original mangas focused more on comedy with romance taking a backseat. They also cut out the ring plot. Hopefully they're adding it in the next episode. It's pretty important cause it's proof of their friendship after all. |
| Ahhh, another episode of Horimiya. It was brilliant to see when Miyamura headbuts the Prez, I would've been annoyed too if you knew the whole situation regarding the report and the council gives Hori-san a hard time... Also cute to see Hori-san being honest with herself when otouto told her that she would be sad if he stopped coming over. Go otouto! Also time flies, third years already? Whoooosh~ |

| I hate Remi with every fiber of my being, deserves to get the shit beaten out of her. She's lazy and annoying as hell |
| At this point it doesn't even feel like Horimiya anymore, pace all over the place, events being changed. Half was cut. It's still fun to watch and looks pretty, but this isn't the manga I enjoyed back in the day. |
| Wasn't as good as the first episode but it definitely wasn't bad. I hate Ayasaki though. I hated her from the moment she first came on screen. |
