Kubs-sama said: No, he's right. Though it is rushed, the fault doesn't lie in the anime. The manga is exactly like this too.Swagarot said: Another rushed ep, honestly each ep i watch the lower the score gets its a 5/10 now we'll see how low it can get. i don't think i'll drop this because i want to see just how rushed it gets. Dunno man feels like you’re here to grade a paper not watch an anime |
 |
| I am really puzzled by some responses here. I get that people are bummed that some scenes and maybe whole chapters are cut for the adaption. Doesn't this kind of happen all the time in other series if it is not planned to have 900 episode monster and get the story done in a reasonable time? Also, people being agitated that the story feels rushed maybe just want something different from the series that it just won't provide. This is not a series about "will they, won't they" but about people finding together in certain ways. |
| Pretty quick, out of nowhere confession done by Miyamura in the fourth episode. I thought it would show up in the sixth or seventh episode. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode. From the student council room shenanigans, to seeing Miyamura’s old friend, to his confession to Hori, I was enjoying it all. I do feel like the pace is too fast though. We are on episode 4, the characters are in their senior year and Miyamura has already confessed. I hope that the pace slows down some so we can see more of the two in this stage of their relationship before moving on. |
| What a bold move confessing to Hori while she's sick >w>; Great episode and I can't wait to watch more :D |

| So glad to see Shindo here, one of my faves! I didn’t expect him to have orange hair though so I’ll have to get used to that. Imo the pacing is fine. Horimiya was never really about slowly developing the romance, but more about these teenagers living their school lives, with Hori and Miyamura being the two main characters who happen to help the other a lot in several ways, which then happens to become romantic. So honestly, I’m pretty happy with the anime so far and how it’s being done. |
Ringare said: This is really bad for studying they are wandering around too much, Miyamura wearing piercings is very bad, he wont be able to get a suitable job like this. The confession scene felt weird, also pretty ashame that Hori doesnt try to study more while she's sick, work is more important than catching a cold. I had a fever too back in 2007 but it was because I fell sick out of fear after surviving an assassination attempt in an italian restaurant with my ex wife, I still managed to work at hospital. I dont appreciate how everyone is being lazy in this anime, very bad example. Personal life aside, just because you are hardworking doesn't mean everyone should do the same :/ Of course, working hard is important, but it's twice more important to take care of ourselves first. When someone gets sick they shouldn't push themselves so hard and take it easy. And please don't judge someone by it's appearance cuz it doen't mean anything, unless it has a different meaning in your country? Please think first before saying stuff like that. |

| Ah I just love this show so much. They can't do wrong in my eyes. This still is familiar from the OVA but the art is to pretty and it's so funny to see how differently Miyamura behaves with his friend from middle school (blanking the name right now). They must be really good friends. :) |
MGrid said: Swagarot said: the whole confession was random, there was nothing to lead up to it this early, and that by chance he was informed she felt sick, but i don't mind that part that much, that pacing and the confession are the main things that ruin this. The rushing part is the problem. When you skip a chapter every ep, ofc it would feel like the pacing is off. Especially with a series like Horimiya, where the manga itself is kinda fast paced. The confession was just something that happend on the spur of the moment. Which is perfectly realistic. Their relationship already has proggressed far enough for it to happen. "Their relationship already has proggressed far enough for it to happen" in the manga maybe but the anime is just too fast. |
| The feelings are getting there slow and steady with the comfy vibes. Miyamura's life changing friend Shindo is here now. Can't wait to see more of him. Also Iura when? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

People should work hard thats a fact, being sick for a moment can get you into trouble for the rest of your life it is why people must work hard everyday. It is very common in Japan and Im ashamed that people arent sharing this mentality,I once got angry at a yellow vest protest back in France 2 years ago and people threw rocks at me because I said protesting instead of working was stupid. When I got gastroenteritis around the same period of time I installed a provisory desk in my toilets with a pc to not loose my time, its only about determination, everyone can do it. Im not judging by appearance Im judging by facts, they are fictionnal characters there is no need to think about what I say, they wont get offended. |

Please don't push your corporate slave mentality on the rest of us. I for one wonder if one of those rocks hit you in the head and did a little brain damage. Haven't you noticed that France has a better GDP per capita than Japan while maintaining a much more laid-back work culture? |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
JadentheAnimeguy said: Xenocrisi said: The drama about the fever was quite random and dumb lol Otherwise, okay episode. And what the fuck that confession lmao The fever drama isn't dumb and builds on our pre-established notion of Hori's responsibilities. Basically her parental role in the absence of her actual parents. So simple moments where normal kids get protected and pampered by their parents like in sickness are foreign to Hori. Because of this, she ends up desperate for that type of moment, a moment where someone helps her in that simple time of need. So seeing Miyamura do it made her desperate to make it stay that way. It won’t change the fact that I’m not a fan of how that scene was handled |
| Sengoku harem! That tounge color changeling scene was oddly relatable. The student council room misunderstanding was very fun to watch, and all the Hori being sick scenes were good. I like that we were given more backstory to both the characters. I used to be the class outcast and I think that's one of the reasons I'm in love with this show. |
"Anime is trash... and so am I" |
on 
| Brilliant logic why you can't have a cold there, Hori-san... :D And Miyamura just casually slipping a confession between all the usual cold advice. :D Ah, it's been too long since I read this... |
 |
| Random confession coming out of no where. Would definitely liked to see more build up. The journey is really where it lies. Apparently the series will shift away to side characters when the main couple is set up anyway. Cool I guess, but if I just wanted to watch cute couples be cute Tsurezure children has me covered. |
| god damn why is this anime so freaking good |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
| me watching the whole episode be like: JUST GET MARRY ALREADY YOU TWO  |
 "俺は海賊王になる男だ！！！" |
| Miyamura should tell Shindou that he's grateful for him haha and wowee we get a kind of second confession between Hori and Miya already ;O |
 |
| With Miyamura confessing just like that, I think it might be Hori hallucinating? Or chad Miyamura really just did a pro gamer move? We'll find out whenever we do though! |

Marcus5768 said: At the pace it's going looks like new Episode Kyousuke will make an appearance and looks Chapter 37 will be sooner rather than later I'm guessing 3 more episodes, if they still skipping stuff. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Episode was rushed again, but not as badly as the previous ones for me since the structure didn't feel as jumpy as previous episodes. I feel like the dialogue and emotions in the fever scene could have been handled even better if the episodes and content were structured better prior but I still liked that segment a lot nonetheless. The anime might be a really flawed and sort of disappointing adaptation of the early manga material, but Hori and Miyamura when written and adapted comptenetly are still so damn nice together for me. |
| He really do be slipping in a confession like that lmao. Also her inner monologue reply... |
 |
| Oh man I really like Toru and Sakura together, hoping to see more of that in the future ^_^ I really liked this episode, seeing all these characters together in the student council room was fun. Miyamura lightly confessing again was fine, I realize its quite fast, but maybe we should champion people who are honest and speak their minds instead of just attacking all the time. Another option for those who don't like the pacing here (trust me I understand that), just go read the manga and catch those chapters they've decided to skip over, could be fun for you. Episode 4 = 4/5 |
| How lamer can their relationship get? I don't know if I needed to find this interaction cute. H: (I guess he's okay with taking his shirt off) H: "Hey Miyamura show me your tattoos" M: "okay" *proceeds to show his tattoos* H: "WHY ARE YOU TAKING YOUR SHIRT OFF?!!" H: (Why doesn't he ever get flustered T_T) ... M: "But I get flustered when my friend mistook you as my girlfriend ehehe" H: "I don't really mind" I'm more surprised at the fact that he had a friend (a very nosey one at that) AND he kept in touch with him after middle school. And the last episode was about him being a total loner. Aaaaand now she's sick. Time to bond during this special time because it's the only time a FiErCe girl like Hori can show her vulnerable side and say words without getting them through her tsundere filter. Plus a random confession. I'm too old for this much originality... I kinda like Ishikawa and the others but since the main focus is this very generic couple with S&M tendencies and an obvious lack of chemistry, I guess I'll just drop this one. People who enjoy it, have fun. |

This happens in chapter 20. Each episode is adapting 3-4 chapters, with some skipped, which is pretty normal for this type of thing. Sometimes 12-20 pages can fill about 5 minutes of an anime, sometimes more, depending on the content. Horimiya is not exactly on the verbose side of manga. |

| Looks like Toru and Sakura will be a couple, seems like Sakura is interested in Toru. Good to know that there's someone that made Izumi's middle school experience kinda manageable, and they're still good friends up to now. You don't need a lot of people around just to make you happy, one is more than enough. And now, it's Kyouko... and actually a lot. Izumi is really good at reading Kyouko, and he realized his feelings and finally confessed. OMG! This is getting more fascinating! I don't find this being rushed. I liked it because it's not beating around the bush, which is realistic. But, if Kyouko will pretend not to hear that, that's ironic. lol  |

| The first half was pretty hilarious with the whole missunderstanding of "Hori screwed me" and the soda can. Sakura, the new girl introduced this episode, made it clear to Ishikawa that it was about the soda. I can see a ship forming here. Shindou looks like a great guy, he was there for Miyamura in middle school and had a big impact on him. Their friendship is really relatable. Oh my, we already have a confession. Definitely not lightning speed, but for sure didn't expect it to happen this soon. I loved Hori's reaction to the confession. I do feel bad that Miyamura picked the moment that Hori was sick in bed, She can now pretend she never heard him say that and let her stall the inevitable. I do expect to see a change in her behaviour for the coming episodes though, gonna be difficult to look at Miyamura with that confession lurking in the back of her head. |

| Wow, how I love this anime! I really missed this kind of cuteness recently. |

| I think this is my favourite episode yet, they may have skipped some stuff but the humour translated really well!! The tongue scene was SO cute. It’s the start of their beautiful friendship, cues Ishikawa’s weird dreams!!!!! Lolol Ishikawa was hilarious. I love him. Yay to more Sengoku too! Glad they also included that short bit of Shuu lending Ishikawa the CD hehe And Shindo appears! Really love their back stories, they were adapted perfectly. Tone-wise this adaptation nails it. Can’t wait for the next episode already! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| lol my exact reaction |
 |
| Love this show! ^.^ |
 |
Ah, i see ur a man of culture as well |
 |
| The way I just shorted several circuits for that confession. I never thought he had it in him. But also, honestly her reaction is my reaction. Maybe that fever is causing hallucinations |
Swagarot said: the whole confession was random, there was nothing to lead up to it this early, and that by chance he was informed she felt sick, but i don't mind that part that much, that pacing and the confession are the main things that ruin this. No, it wasn't random, and we already have one in the last episode (albeit they botched the order of things switching cause and reaction the last time). Now, he said it exactly because he noticed she needs it the most in the moment... in fact, he's actually very empathetic and caring type inside. She thought he would leave her after the school is over (exactly hinted several times in the previous episodes). Also, the way he does things, just saying whatever he feels right away, without any blushing is pretty much normal for him. In fact, if you say something so sincere in such way, like it was a normal thing, not agonizing about it, any girl would be head over heels for you. He said it exactly because he wanted to assure her he's not going anywhere. Also, his middle-school friend was another catalyst for him to do that. Just because there is overdone anime trope and unwritten rule that says the kiss and confession has to happen in the last episode doesn't mean that every series has to be this way. This is different kind of series. So it's probably your expectations that are off. The only thing that was bit forced was her father gone/have to be strong complex with what she said after (yes, it was clearly writing shortcut) but than again people with temperature over 38C stops thinking straight so I can turn blind eye on that pretending she just had some bad fever thoughts, linking her lost father figure to him, together with her fear she'll lose him one day. |
