The characters looking so real, i sometimes forget it is animated. Story was good, akane knows what aqua is doing, she is very smart.

I think it's hilarious how the show's entertainment value is exactly the same as it was at the start (possibly better now?) but some people feel the need to come on here and criticise nonexistent things about it. The only difference between now and the first episode is the hype surrounding the show, and now that it has naturally lessened (a little), you guys actually realise now that you never actually liked it in the first place. 

That aside, great episode, lovely visuals as always. I think character expressions - especially in important moments, are always spot on. The main plot is trudging along a little too slow for me, but we only get a few minutes each week and I honestly wouldn't take anything away from the show, so far.

Why would I spend my time watching shows I don't like? 💢

Then came the CRINGIEST moment of this series. Felt it strongly while reading it too back then and then felt the same while watching it now… when Aqua kissed Akane, just because he thought she an indispensable tool, and he needs her going forward. FUCKKKKKKK…. get your hands off the best girl, though I guess we a bit too late. She's already tool-zoned.

Wannabe edgelord now even has Akane on his side, and heck he even invited Memcho to come and join B-Komachi. Why these girls… man. 


I still don't get it , why the hell do you people ignore what happened after that , he literally said he isn't interested in her romantically but as an actor and he WAS interested in her as an actor.

Man, Aqua must’ve really missed Ai so much.
Being in his shoes at that moment is enough to make even grown men cry.

Fake as it was, Akane’s acting was so spot on that Aqua caught a glimpse of someone who meant the world to him.

That was very good episode, Akane and Kana are cute and their VA also are doing kawaii job ;p

Aqua on the other side is worse each episode and there I had hopes for him after he saved Akane..

I like it that they shown Statue of Liberty in Tokyo ;] it was nice and I like that because I was there myself ;]

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Dr Aqua will always love Ai (yes it is odd for a 30 year old man since she is 16), I really want to see more secrets about Ai man, the wait is killing me (not reading the manga btw).

Btw Kana looked sooooo pretty when herself and Dr Aqua were playing baseball ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I expected Aqua to invite Akane based on her skill, non Mem… but I guess getting all her youtube followers is a plus. Also I love when they nail that outro

It has been a minute since we have seen Aqua's soulless eyes. The kiss made me happy and sad since we could hear his true thoughts and we knew he just found another puppet. When bro started blushing I couldn't stop laughing😂😂. I like how they clarified why his personality is changing. Bro Arima Kana looked so upset after watching that final episode. What annoys me is he is aware of her feelings yet he is playing these stupid games. Mem-cho joining B Komachi👀 and the way she smiled.

Things get interesting. Aqua spoke truthfully with akane, despite everything they can develop mutual trust.

Their relationship, even if not loving, will be important for the future.

Well well well. I quite like where this is going. Aqua is not quite in the place where he's getting bricked up for 16 year old girls. Which is good considering. But I was gonna say that's toxic af where he'd pretend to be her bf just because he wants to try and learn more about Ai from her. To my surprise they actually had an open conversation about how he doesn't actually feel anything that way and is using the excuse that ya this is a work related thing. Which is rly is at this point. And I guess we can't just throw these fancy character designs away so we gotta keep Mem to, I suppose, complete our new idol group.

You should see this Adnash guy. Guy thinks the reincarnation element of this show is "forced", but also thinks that Golden Time had a good use of "light supernatural elements" when theres actually an unexplained "ghost of protagonist's past" influencing the real world in a Japanese College romcom setting. 🤣🤣🤣

I really like this series a lot, but I feel like this series is in a constant state of lighting fireworks for the viewers and as they wait with anticipation for it to go off, only for it to then just be a sparkler and not a real firework. They ramp things up so drastically, but then concludes it with something not quite as satisfying as everything you thought could happen.

Maybe it's just me. Besides that I still adore this series, I love it. But I can't really ignore that. Maybe it's because the first episode really set the bar high.

This echoes my thoughts entirely. We keep getting teased with tension and conflict; I was excited where things were gonna go with Aqua "using" Akane while stirring drama with Arima because she obviously likes him, then it just kinda... fizzled out. I love the dynamics & how the story is multifaceted, a slow burn, but I'd like tension to actually go somewhere at some point soon.

idk, the plot turned out good, and the only-for-work relationship thing is fine I guess (I do hate that Kana is suffering because of it), but I would have prefer that Aqua began to secretly fkng hate Akane for trying to impersonate Ai for her own good, I see that more like an insult to Ai than anything else, and we all know that Aqua is actually a big sociopath so I feel that him "using" Akane out of hatred would fit his character way more, but whatever...

That Mem-Cho moment at the end was great, and the very last shot of her was beautiful, wtf, is she actually the best girl??? I still don't know, but she is a really good person and friend (and the most honest girl so far), so she could end up being the best lol

What I was expecting too with Aqua. Felt a bit out of character, at least for me.

I have no idea what Golden Time is, but I think it's a tad hasty to call a critical plot point 'forced' within the first few episodes.

Akane vs Kana is strong

Don't think anyone can replace AI in Aqua's heart.

I am looking forward to the secrets about Ai that will be unveiled in the next episode. I am relieved that Aqua hasn't deceived Akane with false love promises and went straight to the point, making soon clear their relationship is only a facade.

Cool episode, nothing to really hate about, summary is just they end the show, after seeing Akana in this new way, Aqua really questions his feelings about Ai and keeps it non romantic, biggest thing to know is

SPOILERS!!!
