I really like the OST. Good OP and ED animation.
Girls in shoujo anime are always so mean.
Nice romance too

This anime certainly isn't wasting any time by needlessly dragging things out. Ditched those fake-friends already.

Was not expecting the feels with that crying and hug.

That hug scene was the highlight but an all around great episode. Emerging as my favorite show of the summer.

Wow, I'm so glad my friend recommended this anime to me. It's nice to have this show balance out SAO, Tokyo Ghoul, and Akame. Plus, Glasslip has been disappointing so far....

Can't wait to see Futaba and Makita's friendship grow!

I love this episode. Finally the girl get away from those girls.
Despide I dislike this kind of charachter, the cute one, I like how Futuba get friend with an true person.
Cute minutes when Kou hugs Futabas. <3
And that misterious girl... she is in love with the teacher?

Good that those friends of her broke off the friendship. I hate when people act selfish like that. Nice episode.

Awww, so cute that hug :3

She found a good compromise for his name. She also look less clumsy around him than before.

It took me time to understand that Tanaka was his last name x)
That mean that the sensei maybe is from his family.

In the end, she dumped her friend (or more like they dumped her). Well, I guess it's the way to get rid of her fake personnality. Now, she can only look forward.

Ah crap friends are crap. It was kind of predictable, but I'm glad the protag ended up befriending that pink girl (jeez I need to learn names). I wonder if she'll stay who she is or if she'll change back to what she was in middle school. This new personality isn't the real her, but at the same time, reverting would seem really awkward right after that break up with her friends.

Sweet hug was sweet. <3

The black cat is the best part of the OP.

There we go. The classic mellow-tone. A Kaji Yuki gotta Kaji Yuki.

Futaba's out of nowhere monologue near the end made me laugh. Oh, shoujo. Stand in hallway, express your feelings in metaphor and get a positive response from a high schooler? Please. We only wish the world worked that way.

i'm sorry, Nozaki-kun has me analyzing all these tropes in Miyano voiceover

The art style reminds me so much of Usagi Drop which was surprisingly calm and pretty looking. Then again, both of the anime's animation as done by Production I.G.

A nice step higher than the first episode. Still don't like Kou, but it's just me. We still don't know his backstory, hope it will be decent and not shit.

This episode had some good moments, but at times I also found myself wondering what the hell I was doing. :v
Wonder how the plot will be later on, could be good.

I hope that they will keep that level till the end!

I like how you all like Yuuri and her "serves you right", but can we bring our attention towards Chie and Ayumi(?), the series could have went with making them like the jealous bad bitches, but instead they actually still like Futaba and just doesn't feel like they are cut out for each other, that is beautiful to see, to see it animated is great too!

THAT OP WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!! its so nice
the ending i don't like quite much

just like i said before the art is pretty good, it's really similar to the manga, just nothing that special, also the colors are beautiful and very shoujo romcom

Dam that was some cringe worthy stuff with the friend break up.

Aah. And here I was...expecting Futaba to find Kou with another girl in the end.
Still a good episode.

Haha, same. It was setting up as if that was about to happen so I wouldn't have been surprised at all.

I can't handle Fubata's stupidity around Kou. Anyway, I'm glad she's friends with Makita, and I hope she tells Makita that she was in her shoes and that she tried to change herself to make it stop. I'm not sure if Kou knows that or not, but I hope he finds out.
Either way, I'm not sure why Kou is such a jackakss right now. All that tsuntsun.

So far it moves along quickly for an HS romance. This is a nice soft anime so far along the lines of Sukitte Ii na yo. It is just pleasant to let things unfold at the writer's pace versus "hurry up and get to the final confrontation" action anime.

This episode was good as well as the first one. That's why I have great expectations for the remaining episodes. The animations were good, so I'm not going to go into that topic anymore because if they're good in the first two episodes then they must be good in the others.

I really like the flashbacks that the show features in the beginning of the episodes. I really goes back to the start of the relationship and shows how much each character has changed since then. I also liked how this episode taught watchers to stand up for themselves and others. "Don't let it slide and reveal your true feelings about the topic ," is what I always say. The final thing that I liked was that they featured the root cause of the kindling friendship between Futaba and Mataka (aka imposter Mirai).
