Very relatable. I know which character is me. I know which characters are people from my past. I know all of these people.

I really like how this show keeps introducing small conflicts while remaining not overly dramatic, it's just a nice, comfy show to watch but you still get some character and relationship development.

I'm starting to get unsettled that every time an anime shows a good friendly dynamic, I'm instantly guessing that twitter ship them as a fully romantic relationship. And I turn out to be right.

And so begins the relationship between Yuzu and Makoto. Many more moments to come.
I like how they show character's reactions to each other, even subtle ones.
Also, I'm happy they kept the lilies (yuri flowers) from the manga when Yuzu appeared.

I like how the characters have nuance and depth, and it seems progressive too if I’m guessing correctly about the aunt’s storyline. Overall, it’s cute and heartwarming!

Every scene was touching in some way.... When they showed a baby duck in water to represent Mitsumi with her boba drink, I felt that one the most.

Mitsumi trying tapioca for the first time was so adorable. Must protect.

Seriously, I'm loving this so much. Every character and interaction feel so natural.
Such a joy to watch.

Yuzuki is a real star, even reading the atmosphere to the point of knowing that someone else might not like her too much, she doesn't just keep it to herself but goes out of her way to make sure the other person is comfortable. Kurume is very timid but pretty amusing when next to others and is nice that she wants to overcome those feelings she has and I kinda relate to it too 'cause there are some people that like I find hard to talk to because of how they're like but want to get to know them more at the same time.
As annoying as Egashira seems in her very tryhard personality, I can understand what she thinks and a lot of it as well is for appearance's sake too considering they're all still teenagers trying to find themselves at the end of the day. Hoping she breaks out of that tryhard shell tho in the future and just live honestly with her own true self because it can be suffocating trying that hard to impress others.

This episode really fun to watch, from Kurune Introduction to Bonding another character with one another at Cinema is really good.

Hope we can have a episode about Mika Insecurity in the future.

And also Shima and Mitsumi really helping a lot to ease situation that happens multiple times.

This episode was soo good. The first scene that sell me this anime was the brunch scene when multiple plots where in development simultaneosly with each character having its own problems and perks. The way things get handled story-wise ohh yeah this is gonna be good. One single thing that was strange and capture my attention was that old lady in the car with voice of a 20yo haha but this is a minor issue.

This show is so relaxing. I like how Mitsumi's relationship with Sousuke is going to be a slow burn. Those drinks look really yummy. Although, I did finally get to try a bubble tea the other day..and those tapioca balls were way too chewy lol

Lovely episode happy to see Mitsumi have so many friends after coming from the countryside :) I’m happy that Yuzuki and Kurume get along well even though both are from different worlds considering Kurume is a shy type while Yuzuki can get along with anybody she wants to, I just feel bad for Yuzuki bc ppl don’t wanna be her friend bc of her looks and think that she’s one of those mean girls☹️

I'm going to lose my FAL for not putting this anime in the list. This is the best contender for AOTS so far....
Mitsumi driking bubble drink here is really2 cute and soothing. If that scene alone doesn't instantly win the title an AOTS, I don't know what else will....

So far, Murashige is my favorite character in this anime. She's so friendly and so sincere with her desire to get along with others. I've liked her ever since she showed how observant and honest she was in Episode 2 when she called out Egashira's personality, but now I like her even more. I'm also super interested in her budding friendship with Kurume. I hope to see more of them in future episodes.

Loving how the show is representing the many personalities and moods of the people, how they interact differently with each other.

Also, Sosuke's line on making friends even if they don't share common things is so true. It's nice to have some common interests with people but I have also seen people make friends with completely different strangers, personality-wise, irl.

Anyway, Mitsumi straight up trying her luck to join the student council in one go? But that's when she meet with another interesting side character there. Kurume-san glasses stood well. Her misunderstanding about Mitsumi being the big boss of their class simply hilarious. Then when she know Mitsumi more, theres nothing to worry about, shy girl. She's fine and not really dare to bite you xd.

Cinema part expand more about her character and also trying to explain more about other girls character, such as the snake one and the hot girl. Mitsumi act as a bridge this time, solving the two girls awkwardness to getting along without even doing the hard work yet not even realizing it; simply grow me some good smile. Hopefully the red haired girl can stop being negative around and have her nice timing to shine on their wholesome friendship. Or maybe spark a little heated drama ahead? Well, let's see next!

It's funny how from Makoto only inviting Mitsumi, the friend group somehow crowded over the movie ad and got to decide that they all wanted to come lol. They are technically still new friends but they are all getting along so well, so cute /sniffs (haha). And the first part where Yuzu and Shima are standing side by side made me search if there is fancontent about them - what an interesting pair. I would love to see them interact more/I love to see my very attractive socially intelligent pair, imagine seeing them walk side by side on the street, everyone would see them with bright sparkles. And how Yuzu/Shima dote and are so fond of Mitsumi (I mean, same). Like how Shima put it, "everyone chills around" her. And Shima's comment that "Was Murashige this kind of character?" when she replies with a sad sticker ww This episode made me want to buy a drink at Starbucks too haha. Mitsumi is me whenever I try to drink boba

An episode dedicated this time to side characters, specifically Yuzuki and Makoto. Yuzuki seems to be very friendly and not having a problem with anyone, on the other hand Makoto is someone who struggles a lot with understanding other people and makind friends. Seems like we'll have an interesting cast of characters here, I'm all for it. Meanwhile Mitsumi is being more adorable then ever!

The Bubbly awkwardness in this reminding me so much of Kimi no Todoke in the best way possible.

You love to see Kurume giving friendship with Yuzu a shot. Nice popcorn metaphor.

It's a great character study and overall perhaps the most wholesome anime of the season. These quirky characters play off each other quite well. I also love how the anime handles the thematic matter of authenticity.

that group date scene is on the cusp of cringe. this mundane, idle group conversation about inane things. it's almost too real, like the sorts of conversations I walk in on at work and think to myself, "wow, people are boring."

also Yuzu is definitely my favorite character.

I have this huge ass smile when I'm watching this show. Mitsumi doesn't know that she's helping others make friends. Kurume was cute as well. She just needs friends and I'm glad my girl was there for her and Yuzuki as well.

Show, don't tell. Seinen anime like this one, have a bad tendency of doing just the opposite. Things that could be just shown through character behaviour are explicitly spoken/thought by the character. This puts the focus squarely on the subtext while it should be the scene, the story, that should be the primary focus. This distracts from the story and also makes the attempts at humor to miss. Simply bad writing here. Ironically, Shounen anime are better in this regard than the anime for Seinen demographic.

The story likes to change character focus like every two seconds. The scenes quickly lose focus and it's all just becomes a mish-mash of half-baked conflicts and resolutions. That cafe scene alone had inner conflicts of the the glasses girl and the redhead girl. Feels as if the characters are just there so they can "develop" and be little more. Bad writing.

Personally, I find the side characters to be too selfish and not likeable at all. It's also hard to believe that it is just a personality trait. Feels more like the writer doesn't know how to write "complex" characters that are also likeable.

Makoto must be a hidden beauty without her glasses... 🤔

I'm glad to see Yuzuki's finally have a way to communicate with Makoto better. They're so adorable...

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
