Linda X Banri
That's what I'm feeling from this...
but Banri is just gonna get sucked into the whole "Koko" thing,
I don't blame him for that...but let's just see where this goes...
Oh and Oka-chan... She my personal fav right now, next to Linda.

Lol, her name is Oka-chan as in 'mother' xD I love her the most That tea club was so hilarious and their dance and that sniffing xD

That Keima clone- I mean Keima's brother is my 2nd most fav now XD Now I am starting to think that Yana is a bit too rude to Kaga, sure she is more of at fault but he could be a bit more... hm... talk to her to make things work out a better way (if he hasn't done that already, in which case, it's alright)

I really like Linda as well. That tea club rocked again, I think this show is great now xD Kaga is so lonely, now I am starting to feel for her. She was a student of a different university in the end, hahaha xD xD That ending song is really good as well. A great episode!

I gotta take back what I said in the first episode. MC is not that beta and is actually pretty enjoyable to watch. Things are shaping up to be a good romance story. While it's pretty obvious what the final pair will be, the ride will still be fun. I usually don't like the popular girl and it's still that way but I might change my mind. It seemed like that girl from the festival club is interested in Tada too and I liked her from the first ep. Music is also pretty good just like Toradora (same woman). This season is looking really good with this, White Album 2, and KLK as my favorites right now.

That ED is sweet enough to cause diabetes, really catchy just like some of Toradora's EDs.

As for why Tada is taking Koko's side over his new friend Mitsuo, I think if you just take a step back and think about it, it makes sense since Koko is a girl most guys would kill to have and Mitsuo is practically throwing her aside like trash. If I had a friend in Mitsuo's situation and knowing that maybe Koko's a bit obsessive, I'd think he's wasting his good fortune here by not at least TRYING to see if by dating Koko she wouldn't calm down a bit. Naturally Tada has to be curious what makes Koko so bad that Mitsuo can't learn to live with it.

Normally I'd think what Tada is doing by trying to get closer to Koko is kind of shady but since Mitsuo has made it pretty clear he doesn't care for Koko then I'm all for it. I have a feeling he is just going to get used hard here though since she's probably only seeing him to get to Mitsuo, but we'll see maybe its gonna be one of those series where she actually ends up falling for Tada.

Honestly Mitsuo didn't have to do all this to escape Koko, he could have just gotten a girlfriend and that would have been that.

Well saying that Mitsuo is throwing Koko aside like trash is a bit too much. Mitsuo is just displaying the symptom of a clinging person. Deep down inside, he cares for her but obsession would have caused any individual or guy to become like Mitsuo. Proof of that, is the scene when Koko was browsing through her pictures, it all has Mitsuo in it and some seems like that pictures that a stalker or obsessed person would have. though, I agree Mitsuo doesn't need to do this hiding if he finds a girlfriend. Koko may get hurt in the process, but at least he solves his problem with ease. Oh, well interesting insight overall.

well he has known her since childhood, and we don't know if he tried in the past or not, but from what he's said she's obsessive and controlling, at least in his perspective...

ANNDDD, just because someone is attractive and rich, does not mean it's a good idea to date them, if he has no romantic feelings for her, and if he knew her since childhood there's a chance he wouldn't (if speaking realistically), then why should he date her? you said to see if she calms down, that's a pretty bad reason too, dating someone to stop them from troubling you is probably one of the worst reason I've ever heard to date someone >->

but if that's what you think then all is well i suppose~ just adding my opinion on what you said~

Japan still has a residual Caste society influence within their culture. It's not as rigid as the feudal days. But it's still very strong influence even in the modern era. If you've watched enough anime you easily notice this.

So a rich beautiful heiress with a powerful family background is mentioned numerous times as the reason people notice her but then avoid her. It makes sense.



Good show, I'm liking the buildup of the story. All the characters seem interesting. Even the obnoxious Tea Club girls.

I'm not sure what I think of Kouko....
She says she's invincible, yet she's unreachable for others....
She's not interested in anything else, but Mitsuo, yet along not even knowing the name of the guy she only knows in her college, our MC, Tada
The intro also suggests the outcome of them being together...I'm not sure I like that...

Wow, my image of Kaga was vastly improved this episode. Dunno why but I didn't like her at all in the first episode... but this made her seem pretty interesting.

Even so Linda is by far the most interesting and best choice imo. I would definitely go after her every time... but it seems in the end we know which pairing is gonna happen, but I'll still keep my hopes up.

Also, I guess they're gonna end up joining the film club, since we saw why it's called Golden Time.

5/5

The sensation felt in the previous episode, the re-again now. A breath of fresh air has risen, leading a plot that breaks with the usual stories seen in the past, although we always talk about a genre already seen. While we have a plot that delights us with a new context, of particular characters and new environments, on the other hand, unfortunately, the JC Staff does not shine for the technical part. Animations and only sufficient, we could put even more scenarios not just fabulous, as compared to other current productions.
Narration pleasant and out of the ordinary for now, the change of environment has benefited especially! I love it! * _ *
Although the technique lackluster the rest still pass the exam! the 5/5 can be good! : D

Ah! I forgot, who was surprised to find the girl and amused by the boy nicknamed 2D-kun! LOL

P.S. Even the chatterbox was hilarious

Funny episode, no drama this time but at least we get to know other characters and university clubs. Kan'yuuin sure is talkative (those large teacups they were drinking!) while those tea-club girls are really awkward (first I thought that Sao-chan's voice was very similiar to Tomoko from Watamote but she is voiced by Saori Gotou). And Oka-chan in film club sure is cute!

And those references! Society for Cultural Studies of Japanese Festivals club? Nishiken? :D This one seems the best I want main hero to join it :) (but I have the feeling Linda know more about main hero than it seems)

Edit: It doesn't look like it so far but I really wonder if Kouko is yandere. Cause something feels really off.

I guess Mitsuo's right about Kouko being very "narrow"... her current world consists of him and only him. She definitely needs to expand her horizons like Banri said - there will be no happiness for her at this rate. This is probably the first step into the Kaga route, if Banri's going that way, care of that chatty club recruiter. On the other hand, there's Linda and the fated meeting moment she had with him last episode. The way she approaches Banri, I get a feeling she's somehow connected to his past. LOL at the hardcore party girls in the Tea Club...

I don't think he hates her. It's just that it seems she has no other people to spend time with and so she got a little obsessed with him and she was always with him everywhere so he got really tired of her. He just wants some space.

I see 2 love triangles forming there and potential for a lot of heartbreak and misunderstandings.


A club with chicks that like getting half naked and drunk(and probably willing to do a lot more). Yeah that's how clubs should be, lol.

By the way, those chicks are crazy.

P.S. The animation and art were pretty bad imo.

Poor Banri, Kaga can't say his name right. But she got it twice in the end! :P

Everyone is intimidated to by her so she's always lonely. I guess that's why she'll get close to Tada (at least, that what the OP seem to say).

I didn't reconize the senpai from the festival club without her make-up :P
She's a bit tomboy but I also like them like this :3

That tea club was fucking crazy. It looked more like an S/M party gone too wild x)

I wonder what's up with these flash-back. Could he have met one of the two girls before? Also, Linda seemed to know him.

I wonder if club recrutor are really crazy like that in real life... xD

Dream flashbacks, huh. I can already see it, baby!!
Damn, college looks so much fun!! Or is it because it's Japan?? Or is it because it's Anime??
I am guessing Kouko's parents stopped giving her money, too. I feel sorry for her. She is lonely.
I wish my school is that enthusiastic about clubs :/ I will join many clubs if that happened. They all looks fun and it's a good experience.

Exactly, that's why Kouko's feelings towards Mitsuo is not love. I understand Mitsuo, but he should talk to her.
I know right!! I would definitely join the Tea Club :3

Girls like kaga can be really annoying much If I were in his shoes but .. I will never and never talk bad to a girl's back as irritated as it seems . but I don't blame the guy though .
Title on the welcoming party !!
Intruders alert !! .. Teas is deadly !!
This girl must be really bad on brewing tea for them to be feared like that .
Banri ... salute !!
Otaku in the battlefield !!
Back to school !!
Linda is really a nice person .. she's is a person who can always have fun of .. sorta envy ..
It must be hard for kaga .. she's a strong person who's devotion is commendable !! but that too much devotion can lead that to this predicaments .. but a help can save always !!
Energetic persons is most of all .. the talkative ones !!
Pretty great episode !!!
