| Well, i kinda expected that he died in the future but i expected he died because of illness. so it kinda suprised me when she said he died because of accident. and obvious the biggest plot twist in this episode is that Kakeru revealed the reason why he absent for two weeks, it was because his mother commit suicide on his opening ceremony. man....i wonder what is the reason. i think it's getting interesting either on the plot and the character relationship :D Suwa and Naho have a children in the end a suprised ? nope to me. i saw that coming :D looking foward for the next episode |
 |
| Well a good episode and a good show so far but for me even though i like it, i feel like setting this whole sad feels from the start of the show usually ruins the impact later in the show when the actual sad part happens but we will see. It's a typical high school romance with some supernatural elements with our main female character being a timid cute want to be a housewife girl when you think about it is very similar with clannad just that the actual tragedy is told more through the female perspective then the male perspective makes sense since Orange is a shoujo also both shows have future changing elements (i don't want to spoil clannad to people who haven't watch it so i won't say what they are in that show) , both show have a mix of comedy and drama, both have comic relief characters and the list goes on but we will see maybe Orange will surprise me (NO SPOILERS FROM MANGA READERS) but so far feels very similar to other feels romantic cute shows but still good and endearing to watch :) |
| So coincidentally enough, I was just watching a video today about how HanaKana always voices people with odd bangs. Well, I look at the seiyuu list and IT'S TRUE! I knew I recognized her voice :P Anyway, so some good revelations: Kakeru's mother's suicide, and he dies in that year! Bam! So that made me like it quite a bit more than the first. The art though ... it got quite a bit worse :( Lazy? Or just sloppy? Well anyway, so he sort of joins the soccer club and Naho DOES make him lunch and gives it to him. Interesting to see what Naho does with the information she's given, especially when she has that "regret" moment about not following the letter's instructions. It will be interesting to see what happens to the future Naho as well. I'm guessing that if her future DOES change, it'll be an alternate timeline sort of thing. Then again, this is why those nasty time paradoxes exist ... :P |
| Kakeru's reactions when he got the bento was nice, beautiful episode. I like how it seems realistic. It should be an interesting anime of the season. |
| I like Kakeru, when he get happy for the bento.. and the ending of episode was very good.. This anime will be good :3 |
| Wow...Kakeru must have been in so much pain from his mother's suicide. Oh man |
| I don't get it...is she thinking and reliving her past so that there would be no regrets? I think she's deluding her self to the past... 3/5. |
 |
| Really enjoyed this episode after some soul searching and conflicts with mainly just the art style in the last episode. I really took into account how unique the animation is when I watched this episode and how the dark sort of realistic color tones really show a uniqueness compared to most other shoujo and slice of life that are very light and sparkly. Which I think shows the amount of consideration the studio and director took considering the darker subject matter Orange centers around. The best part of episode 2 was the development we got with the general personalities, romance, and storyline and it's refreshing to see the emotional and realistic tone it picked up with the development. One of my favorite but most irking parts was the lunch part for which I just wanted to push Naho into handing it over because honestly it was starting to piss me off. Can't wait till episode 3! |
| Why do I feel like Kakeru will not be saved and I'm going to cry so much, haaah...I'm already preparing myself for feels... Naho and Kakeru are really cute together, but I think I like Suwa best ! He's just too cute and cheerful ! Waiting 10 minutes for Kakeru to reply...So much patience. Me: When she hesitated to make the bento : "No, just do it already ! You will regret it ! When she didn't give him the bento : "Gosh, Naho, just give itttt to him !" When she finally gave it to Kakeru and he smiles : "..." // teary eyes. Yup, this anime will ruin my life. |
 |
| The shot of the trees in the intro are freaking great. That beginning portion seemed so happy, cute, and strange at the same time, like, it seemed like things were going way too well, and it calmed down with the lunch issue, but I found myself waiting for something to come up, and then he goes and says his mom commit suicide, and I got sad. Feels hit hard. AND THEN IT HIT HARDER WITH HAPPY FEELS AND I WAS HAPPY. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
twigglyfiggly said: Naho being timid would just be annoying, but I can really feel myself root for her. When she handed him the lunch I was like, "YES!!! SHE DID IT!!!". Same. I was getting kinda annoyed by how timid she was, but the fact that she faced her fears and gave it to him in the end was really redeeming. |
| Great episode! I like it how the characters are like real people (not like in any other shoujo animes) It's good to see that she changed something... but her future self should write why not to invite him :< |
Elfster said: This is hard to watch. So much awkwardness. Yet it's good. Just have to stop myself from thinking about it as time-travelling sci-fi. Nothing good can come out from that side, that's for sure. Interesting coloring. What it is called? Color design? It's not exactly bleached, but that clear sky that looks at times like a storm cloud... Strange feeling. Like background is blended with black and white film? A memory? How you are seeing the world when you are about to faint? Can't pinpoint it, but it's produces strange and interesting picture. It's to give that serene almost trance-like feeling you get when remembering a hot summer long ago. |
 |
| The episode was scripted really well, dunno if it was like it in the manga The emotions were delicate, as you would expect in a shoujo, and it was very enjoyable, not overly original but still ...inevitable thought of fucking Glasslip |
 Congratulations girl, only two episodes in and you already killed somebody with your idiocy. Here's a free hint: If you have a walkthrough to make your life a little bit better, prevent the man of your dreams from dying and maybe win him over, you should probably, I don't know, USE IT, YOU FUCKING IMBECILE??? |
 |
| The OP is nice as I thought And I really am loving the voice-acting, it's so natural-- they really are putting a lot of effort into this adaptation Naho has a habit of being influenced from others, doesn't she? She was going to give up on hearing her mom talking about stuff, but then she read the letter, and changed her mind. I like that, it's realistic "I'll hand it over to him quickly, and then run away" lmao cute Naho really is cute, I'm liking her a lot more in this adaptation. Hanakana delivers This is gonna be a great ride (hoping for a alternative ending) |
 |
| The animation is so fucking sexy so far, it's ridiculious! A very heart-warming show and I nearly got to tears although it wasn't that dramatical yet. Kakeru seems a very nice guy and I hate to know that he will die because of a car crash. A very good drama anime after a while! 4,5/5 |
| Wow, do these kids ever study?!? Did Hagita become a handsome bishounen? Did Naho marry Suwa? I ship Azusa and Hagita because as kids, honestly, they go together really well. And they're cute, too. As for Naho x Kakeru, I'm really glad Kakeru isn't like that transfer student Plato from Glasslip. He opens up really quickly, and I like that about him. As for Naho, she's OK so far. Not annoying, not appealing either. I like the animation. Sometimes it looks kind of uncanny, but it's amazing otherwise. The music isn't my type though. The story so far is great too. Maybe it's a little too early to say, but this might become one of my favourite shoujo anime |

| MC girl is pissing me off. Her timidness is neither cute or a turn on, it's pissing me off. I know it's part of her character and she said that a letter won't change her personality but fuck it, she can be annoying. At least she finally gave Takeru the bento. I hope this will spiral into better things but I know there will still be some complications because it would be boring if everyone was hunky dory. After reading the letter and KNOWING it predicted the future, why does she still do stupid things? I know people are going to defend her but she is quite annoying for not acting when she could've done something. |
| 臭い- |
| This episode didn't blow me away, and I can already feel myself growing a little weary of the letters from the future conceit. It wasn't bad either though, for starters I thought this episode was a whole lot less choppy. I can also see the characters besides the main two are starting to become less flat and lifeless so that's good. I liked the two leads scene together at the end, it was a little overly familiar but it worked. My biggest question now is, since she's all changing the past now will they actually save dead boy? |
 |
| Really loving this show right now, definitely AOTS atm. The chemistry between the characters is fantastic, and especially between Naho and Kakeru! Death of his mom really hit me, as I recently lost my Mom as well. But his reaction to the bentou was pure win! Naho can be his kaasan. Btw, Naho is best girl this season by far! Hanakana is mesmerizing! I just want to squeeze her! |

| zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |
| Naho is so shy, Suwa knows she is into Kakeru already, and I believe he hides his feelings for her. Their baby is adorable. |
 |
| Another great episode! And we were finally told what whole plot is about.. I wonder if she didn't ask him the first day, would his mom still be alive? I guess we already know why he didn't want to go anywhere, she was probably labile and overdependend on him he just watched her. But I still have to wonder - does she regret her child? Cause if future is changed, if she dates Kakeru there will be no such kid. Still, he probably dies anyway in the end, I guess it's inevitable. I bet this whole this series serves only as means for her to finally settle with her loss and move on. She was just going through everything in her head while writing the letter imagining what would become if her younger self would acted differently. And that imagination is this series. |
| Now I'm thinking the reason the letter in episode 1 stated to not invite him is that maybe if he went home right away, he would've walked in on his mom starting to commit suicide and saved her right away. That is so heartbreaking and at the same time pisses me off because the letter should've stated that. Oh, the more I think about this show, I'm not sure if I'm gonna wind up loving it or loathing it. |
| just what difference would it've made whether or not she had invited him on the opening ceremony?.. |

kitten320 said: So... can someone explain why there are so many guys crushing on Naho in this series? She is not drop dead gorgeous, she is not fun, she is extremely quiet and... just why? So not believable. Maybe it's a Stephenie Meyer kind of self-insert fic. |
|
| Ok but can she save Kakeru and still end up with Suwa. I'm conflicted. Wait no I am not. She needs to stay with Suwa, otherwise this whole story is about her erasing her future so that she can be with this kid. WHAT ABOUT HER FAMILY??? But still, save Kakeru. |
| I'm getting into the series quite well, one of those ones where you can just sit back and relax while enjoying everything it offers. |
 |
| Good adaption, the art in this episode looked very good. |
 |
| So if they save Kakeru will that mean that Nako ends up with him and not Suwa? That's a bit complicated. Great that Kakeru is saved, but weird if she knows she has Suwa as a second choice and will be letting him down. Or if love grows for Suwa later, will that still be possible with Kakeru in the picture? So many feelings! |
| That lunch suspense! ... his mom offed herself?... what-the... |
  |
| wow this will fucking suck if he still ends up dieing |
awwwww hwauraye WHY! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Well plot seems really obvious at this point. Still an Awesome episode and will most likely be an awesome series. We all know his "Accident" called it in episode 1 before knowing about his mom. That's the biggest reason why they would have such regret. Playing catch up lol should have started this series sooner. |
