| I always thought Koko was crazy, guess this episode confirmed my suspicions. Ok episode but everything was way too overdramatic, and not in a good way either. Author must be high as fk to come up with such messed up characters |

| A big meh.If not Nana, 2D, Chinami and Koko's father i would have to pause this episode and take a break.Seriously, this show was so amazing at start imo...16 episodes and i had to lower my rating 3 times.Everything because of main characters ._. Where's Linda and Ghost Banri im asking. |
 |
| This episode was brilliant! ^^ LOL Koko's dad XD 5/5. |
 |
| I loved this episode! It was so funny to see Koko's dad asking Banri to make him ramen. |
| Kuroookoooooo-chin! |

| Episode felt a bit too dramatic. |
 |
| Koko is such an extremely extremely extremely weak girl. She isn't best girl by a mile, but since she is so weak she needs Banri more than anyone else. Like honestly they should redo Koko as a red head, because that bitch is crazy. A red headed ex of mine actually pulled some shit like that on me once... ONCE. I emphasize "once" because I got the hell out of Dodge after that happened. |
| That episode was so hard to watch. The scene where everyone has taking responsibility for the accident was ridiculous, and the 10 minute argument between Kouko and Banri was just so over the top. And when Kouko actually brings up a legitimate point about Banri running away from his past, he is just like "oh well I promise not to do it again". |
| Koko's Dad has got one mean backhand. |

| lol koko's dad is really funny.. XD but that slap is must be really hurt >< anyway.. idk what to say.. but another episode without linda >< oh btw this scene <3 "He lied to you Koko!" "I was the honest one!" Best part of the episode |
| Ugh, Kouko is the worst. She is like the definition of Drama Queen. At least the father made this enjoyable, how did such fun dad make such a bitchy, whiny daughter... |

| Afterall, it was pretty lucky crash, if I can say it this way. And no personality swith for Banri I guess. But its consequences can be great. Apart from unnecessary funny end with her father, this was relatively good episode. Her father cares for her in his specific way that's clear. I just wonder if Koko changes any further, she really needs to tone done her hysteria for her character to be bearable. Otherwise, she is quite likable. Next time there is some event and sweet times for them again it seems. But I wonder where are we going from here. Is second ghost-self of Banri gone with the accident? And what about Linda? We are still left in dark about why she was meeting with Mitsuo before. I hope we are going to find out soon. |
| That back-handed slap >:O What a tackle XD That scene once Koko's Dad walked into her room was down right hilarious. Banri in the preview was acting very strange :o This was another great episode, why the hell did I wait so long to watch it!?!? |
| Tbh this episode really felt over-dramatic, the ending was really nice though. |
 |
| I don't like the way she said them, or her reasons for doing it, but damn some of those things Kouko said to Banri needed saying badly. So thank you, Kouko. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This was a really sad episode, Im glad they add that little bit with the dad at the end or I would've been depressed the whole day. I like how they yelled at eachother about what they feared most cause the relationship grows stronger from there. I think the new Banri is better than the old one and more happy although it isnt fair to the old one since it was his body to begin with. Well anyways the creator of this anime portrays the story beautifully. |

That's exactly my thought. Such a bitch ! I wanted to hit her in the face real hard when she said all this to Banri... It wasn't him who decided to forget, and it's totally because of her that he tried not to remember !! Don't mess with him just because you feel insecure for no good reason ! And why does he forgive her every time ? Because he loves her of course, but still why ?! |

| My wish: next epsisode no Koko, no Banri, no Linda. I want more scenes of Koko´s dad :D! |
| Days need to be longer. 24 hours isn't enough ... |
| So much drama!? O.o. I do think Koko is high maintenance but I think her trauma she's received from the car crash is justified. Glad to be ghost banri free for an episode -_- Did someone mention that Banri's turned to drugs next episode to deal with his problems. You silly boy -_-. |
 |
| this show just keeps getting better and better. |
| God damn, Banri's laugh at the very end was creepy as hell. Also loved the way Banri said "a dream!?", 'cause that was my reaction exactly. And when her father was standing there was hilarious... I think I really like her father at least: "I was honest! He lied to you! You should remember that." I fell asleep at the wheel once driving across state at night when I hadn't been driving wrong... it wasn't as big a deal though since they're nice enough to include bumps on the sides of the road to wake you up, so it didn't bother me as much... but I think I can sympathize with her since they actually crashed. I guess it's just lucky for them those guard rails were strong, because they normally don't do much good in a head on collision. Anyway good episode over all. |
| This series needs to focus on comedy. It's so good when it's funny and is often cringe-worthy when dramatic. Especially when ghost Banri is involved. This episode really improved my outlook of this series. Koko's dad needs more screen time! |
MrDressup said: This series needs to focus on comedy. It's so good when it's funny and is often cringe-worthy when dramatic. Especially when ghost Banri is involved. While I won't go so far as to say "cringe-worthy"', I agree that ghost!Banri doesn't really do it for me. At first, it was okay because they were trying to emphasise the loss of his personality/memories etc. But now I can't really take those sequences seriously any more, especially when he 'curses' his other self. I mean, I think can be universally agreed upon that when a person suffers memory loss, their lost memories don't become some spectre and float around, interfering in their own love lives! The dramatic effect is all good and well, but considering that so far this anime has succeeded in showing realism to some extent, it should not ruin that with unnecessary 'typical anime' drama. And personally, I don't like the exclusively Banri/Koko episodes as much as the ones that involve all the other characters. I think the drama, comedy, emotion in those episodes are executed better and are more enjoyable. |

| ^ I dunno, the ghost thing could be taken as a metaphor... it seems more like a conflicting personality / memories trying to get back into his head. I'm not saying that's how it is, but there was only one episode where it even really implied that he was cursing them. Everything that was a "curse" so far has been naturally occurring events that happen all the time.. it seems more like strokes of bad luck than anything to me. And the only time cursing was even mentioned was that one time when he said "you're abandoning me? I'll curse you!", and perhaps at the end of last episode where he said "I didn't want it to go this far!"... but I mean, I can't see how he could accidentally make them fall asleep and die, if he were really cusing them. |
| For those who think Koko's dad's slap was excessive, I think it has something to do with Asian culture and keeping up a public image. I mean, your daughter gets into an accident and nearly kills all her friends, publicly, you discipline her to show everyone else that you disapprove of her actions. The consoling and all that should be done in private anyway, the only issue is that the only one who could actually console her wasn't dad but Banri. That said, the hillarious scene with Banri and the dad at the end was also a cultural metaphor for the dad's acceptance of Banri as an important part of Koko's life. You wouldn't tell your daughters random friend to go and make ramen in your kitchen off the bat now would you? All in all, a great episode. |

HalibelTheEspada said: That's how it should have been and I symphathised at first, but then ghost!Banri got too much presence (irony) and became exasperating.^ I dunno, the ghost thing could be taken as a metaphor... it seems more like a conflicting personality / memories trying to get back into his head. HalibelTheEspada said: Yeah, I know right? But the fact is it happened right after the episode where ghost!Banri said he'd curse his other self, implying reasons for these 'small accidents' to be otherwise.Everything that was a "curse" so far has been naturally occurring events that happen all the time. |

| Awesome ep, good thing they cleared up most of the stuff in 1 episode. Lol when her dad came in. |
 "For the sake of humankind, I forsake my humanity." - Cherry |
| One of the most original confession I've seen for a romance series. It exceeded my expectations---and it was creative, with all of them stemming from a simple nightmare. Father is a winner. I LIKE HIM. This show, introspectively speaking, is extremely surreal. It's not your usual bubbly win-win RomCom one would expect, yet not your hardcore romance tragedy with a lot of people dying. This is surprisingly, psychological. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| LOL Banri "....I'm being yelled at...hit too...because of a DREAM?!" LOLOLOL |
| Kouko's father is big lols. |
 |
| Wow, after a month break from this show I realized how derpy this show is when it tries to look all dramatic. It's hard to take an argument consisting of yelling seriously if it's just some stupid lovers' quarrel. |

| :( terrible episode, really hate it when you can sum up an episode in 3 words: |
 |
| 4/5 In terms of originality Palme d'Or to the series, one of the narrative, the bet does not win the Golden Lion for the dialogues of Banri unconvincing and lacking punch. At times, they give the feeling of being false, the same thing during the meeting to four, made by the boys, seemed forced. Plot without significant changes, however, the pleasant came to the pope's Kouko! LOL Drawings and animations dull, much better than the designs used for the scenarios. Concomitantly Kouko's father and Nana, wins the challenge for the MC. |

| wow, this was a hell of a bad drama. super forced |
| Yes, Kouko realized she is acting like a child so she thought to make up for it by acting even more like a child. I swear this chick makes want to slap her a 100 times over. She's so spoiled. Marow said: Are we supposed to actually like Kouko or not? What do you think? I think some mind find her mannerisms cute. Me i would just feel like struggling her about now. zensunni said: A couple of comments: 1) To all of the people who thought the "car drama" was overblown and that Kouko's reaction to it was too extreme: I hope with my whole heart you never have to find out how psychologically damaging a near-miss situation like that can be. I have had FAR too many friends and family members injured or killed due to car accidents, including one friend who is a quadriplegic because his seat belt failed when the car he was in went off an overpass. Everyone else in the car walked away, he will never walk again. Imagine how the driver felt about that? Kouko is having to deal with the fact that her actions could have resulted in the death of the people she cares about most, including the man she so desperately loves. "Could have" is not the same as actually happening and yes it was overblown. Also yes i have been in accidents, i know how scary it can be, i still got out of it and acted very logically and calm. From the moment you see there is no serious injury there is no reason to act like that. She's childish, spoiled and slightly deranged as a person really and that's why she acts like that. |

| The dad is now the best character in this series. Banri such a loser. Lecturing her over shit he can't get right himself. Koko is just the worst. Nearly kills everyone. Whines. I can't stand either of them. Linda is gone, and nobody worth a damn is doing anything. The dad and the cat are the only likable characters left. |
 |
| Finally I can see Banri x Koko couple... before this episode i really did think they would make good couple at all Like father like daughter hha |
Iolo said: "He lied to you Koko!" "I was the honest one!" Best part of the episode That made me laugh after the dram part :D |
 |
| Holy shit, in the first half, I was like ''that father is a ruthless bastard'' and in the second I thought ''that father is fucking hilarious!''. Koko : ''Would by any chance my father be behind us?'' Banri : ''No, you're wrong, there's only the cat'' Mr. Kaga : ''He's lying!'' That scene was so funny :P The first half had such a depressing mood, but it's normal since she feeled really guilty for the accident. I think that they were pretty much all responsible for the accident. They should have called a taxi. That show is such a feeling rollercoaster... |
