Good episode again.

So she really is color blind as in can only see Black and White, they've been hinting at it for a while but I'm glad we got confirmation on this. Though I wonder if the reason she lost color is more because she lost interest in the world rather than being color bling by nature. Given that she can see the color in the painting and the fact that Hitomi was able to walk on water even without the special sand it might just be that her magic is influenced easily by her own thoughts. So the more mundane look she has on the world the more Black and White it is and the more she begins to enjoy her life the more colorful it'll become. It kinda makes sense to me because the fact that she was able to walk on water without the sand makes me thing it's just because she strongly believed that she could. The moment she realized that she can't actually do it, she fell in. Just a theory though.

Liked the scene where Hitomi herself realized that she has to face the group and I'm glad they didn't turn things too dramatic.

Asagi really grew on me because of that one scene where she tears up because she thought Hitomi was avoiding them, such a sweetie. <3

Looking forward to more next week.

It was nice to see Hitomi's magic. She walked on water despite using the incorrect bottle. And, what was up with the pocky?

I like how everyone acts like magic is so normal here. It wouldn't have been as interesting to watch Hitomi keep her magic a secret.

I am curious about Hitomi's use of colours. I feel like she squeezed out a lot of Crimson Red and Prussian Blue. Do you really need that much? I don't have any experience with gouache, but I know that we don't need that much of reds and blues when using water colours.

I am really loving this story, so far. No one is dying or fighting for life and death. Magic is not a weapon, but a part of a person. The protagonist isn't after a big goal. She is just trying to get used to the new world. The biggest complication so far is that she can't see colours, which is a scary thing for me (an artist).

To me, the character development felt very suttle and fast. She forcefully accepts a role of walking accoss the pool and falls in and the very next day, she hangs out with them just fine? It feels like as if I missed something big. Tbh, if it wasnt for the visuals and animations, I wouldve dropped this anime by now. But it seems like something interesting is going to happen now that grandmother is back.

Solid episode!

Hitomi learning a bit of magic and actually applying that during the ‘modelling’ was nice to see. Guess she really can’t see colours though but her drawing of those bunnies sure was exceptional! Looks like Yuito knows of her secret now too, so I’m curious to see how he’ll take it in the coming episodes. It really is unimaginable to live a black-and-white life, indeed. Hitomi joining the club at long last was nice to see. On another note, seems like the Granny is back! I can’t wait to see what she’s like now.

So, Hitomi was invited to the photography club, and went to a small course that the club offered. She ended up being the model of the photos and fell to the pool. After all that, she could strengthen her bonds with her partners and finally join to the club, getting closer to Aoi.

Pure slice of life development, the whole episode slow paced so they can develop the characters and relationships between each of them. Again, animation, backgrounds and details are in another level of greatness, excellent work P.A. Works.

I like that the drama started and ended in the same episode.

1. I'm begining to see why Hitomi was sent back in time

She isn't a confindent girl. She thinks her color blindness limits her...and it is affecting her confidence in other things...including her magic. As a result...she gets scared easily and as we saw today...she 'failed' at a magic trick.

2.Granny is on her way back! Should be interesting.

3.The kind of color blindness Hitomi has is total color blindness. There are some therapies for it...including a cybernetic device that helps people memorize colors...and there is the potential of gene therapy (working in mice for now).

So Yuito realized that Hitomi can't see color!

Poor Asagi when Hitomi avoided her in class, she make a really cute face, really sweet girl!

Hitomi walking in water without the magic to walk on water, her magic have to be strong! I am glad that Hitomi went talk with group!

Why it is so calm to see Hitomi-chan on this anime every week ? Is it the time to add her to my waifu list ?

Photography club background bring me the tadakoi aura, except the main girl isn't ojou-sama, but a time traveler. I'm glad Aoi finally noticed her problem.

also, what's japan's obsession with Pocky? pocky here, pocky there. they aren't even that good...
also, what is the point of recruiting more people to the club. they said "they do nothing just hang around and capture photos". i get that 4-5 people for minimum club requirement would be fine, but what's the point of more photo club members? more school funds?

I know, and it's not just in Japan, but the Japanese lover society in the west. Everytime I go to an anime or japanese gathering there will always be pocky. A japanese party? Pocky as well. Always pocky here and pocky there. But one thing that I disagree is that pocky I do love pocky and it's the best chocolate snack I've ever had. Pocky for life.

And regarding the number of club members, I thought it was pretty obvious but I guess people who've never participated in any club activities wouldn't know, but your club funding heavily depends on the number of members that you have. And not just that, you're basically allowed to use more of the school facilities and hold bigger events if you have more members. But the most important thing is the money.

I'm somehow growing more and more worried that this is going to be the next Kiznaiver and the second half is gonna be all about love-polygon drama. I really wish I'm wrong about this, but I just can't shake it off my mind with some of the weird facial expressions and all.

Hitomi is slowly opening up to others. By picking the wrong sand, she was still able to walk accros the water, her magical powers are bigger than she is aware of. But then again, she kinda blocked that potential herself.

I really like the Photography Club members a lot, Hitomi would do really good to have them as friends. So Yuito figured it out that Hitomi can't see colours. She now wants to tell everyone else.

Visually it still is going so incredibly strong.

Dude if you don't like Pocky then you're eating it wrong. Or you just like oversweetened snack or prefer chips. They're perfect and balanced between the amount of chocolate and the stick shape makes it fun to eat.

Anyway I see where this is going, isn't it obvious that Hitomi made the decision to join the club because there's a guy who mainly took monochrome photo. And that guy happened to be the guy who saw Hitomi doing sparkling magic. I smell NTR

It's so sad that Hitomi is unable to see colors :( I think that must be the reason she looks so aloof? Because she only sees black and white, she must feel so bored because of that. Hope Aoi can show those bright colors again, so she can feel more happy and entusiasm. She deserves happiness for god's sake!

Asagi's cry just broke my hear ;-; Can't blame Hitomi for wanting to be distant from them but she should have avoid making eye contact.

So Hitomi finally decided to join the Photography & Art Club... But am I the only one who thinks that she volunteered to join as a form of appology from avoiding them? Cuz it seems it worked! Or maybe it's because of Aoi? X3

So Hitomi's young grandmother will appear next episode. I can't wait to see how it goes ^^

The magic is so cool I wish it's real. The granny is coming home. I can't wait to know what will happen in the next episode.

Hitomi's life without colors made me think. Maybe this symbolizes how people with depression see their surroundings. The girl with glasses should've just let Hitomi cross the swimming pool since she was floating anyway. It was very stupid to make her realizes that she used the wrong potion lmao

The views are so good but the characters are not. There was a moment when the club president's eyes were so far apart, I ended up laughing for 2 min.

Hitomi: the Colorblind Fauvist!
FFS, I can see the love pentagon...no hexagon...uh septagon forming

Art is a notch lower from the first episode(naturally), but still looks good, of course. Some say this was too slow; it was, but I thought it was a solid traditional buildup episode. You can see the dynamics between the cast developing.

But not extraordinary. Just about what you'll expect from PA.

Didn't like the 'Hitomi ignores the club members' scenes, it's like they tried to make a whole episode/arc out of it, with lots of Hitomi solo pondering, heartache and an elaborate MC speech scene towards Hitomi to make her come back to the club, but then just decided not to and made do with those two minutes of uncertainty. It came off as half-arsed to me

I understand Hitomi being hesitant and its character development but fuck man it's annoying. She could have just said "Hey...I cant see colors." What did she think they would be angry at her? I just don't understand why shes shy and hesitant...I mean I would assume eventually we will find out why she hates magic but yeah. I enjoyed the ending when she happily accepted the invitation to the club.

Here comes the drama and misunderstandings now. Asagi loves Shou but thinks Shou is interested in Hitomi. Meanwhile the Kurumi and Chigusa ship seems solid for now.

Hitomi cannot fall for Yuito or can they be together...BUTTERFLY AFFECT PEOPLE!!!

This is certainly a slow burn. I expected to see Kohaku this ep, but I'm not complaining anyway. It was nice how she was able to subconsciously walk on water using her own power. Of course dumb Kawai shouts at her to distract her while she's walking just fine and subsequently falls in. Anyway accidentally falling into the water is nothing serious so I'm glad no ones making a big deal out of it. Hitomi really should just tell them that she can't see colors tho. Tons of ppl are color blind irl (though not to that degree), but it's still nbd.

Nah, we're still in the setup stages of the show. If it doesn't move anywhere in the next two episodes you can put it on pause until the series is over and it has solid reviews, or if something happens that breaks the internet (like Ichigo-hate in Darling). Right now it could go either way.

I'm a little disappointed with the lack of magic in the last two episodes after that ghibli-esque bus-ride-through-time from the first episode. The "walking on water" scene gives me hope we'll see more of this, and the grandmother is coming back (and we've seen the photos of what she's done).

I'm hoping the next few episodes are exciting and/or include strong character development moments.

You know, I'd be more accepting of these mandatory cliched love triangles and love polygons if at least once in a while the winner was not the main/ most obvious/ first introduced guy or girl. The way it is now, the endgame is set in stone before anything even begins, which renders the whole ordeal meaningless waste of time, with total lack of any intrigue making it plain boring at best and utterly annoying at worst. This looks like yet another show like that. Come on, Japan, can't you make at least a modicum of effort to be just a tiny bit more original?

Okay, I'm really confused about what this anime is trying to achieve. So far, every character's personality is pretty much one dimensional and plain. Moreover, the pacing is slow as snail. It's like this show has no redeeming quality whatsoever to keep me interested.
Oh wait, there's actually one. She uses freaking pocky as a magic wand, I'd admit that that's pretty great.

Solid episode and still pretty high on my personal AOTS chart though not enough to top Seishun Buta Yarō. Major pluses in its favor are the calm atmosphere, beautiful imagery, and a Nagi Yanagi ending song.

However, a not-so-small part of me is wondering just how much we development we should expect from Hitomi. She's still exhibiting a lot of the shy girl protagonist tropes and where we go with that determines where Iroduku sits at the season's end. PA Works has always done a good job writing female leads and Asagi & Kawai are characters with depth so I will keep a positive outlook.

I am very happy that Hitomi joined the photography club, despite the accident in the pool, for a moment I thought she would feel guilty for what happened and would refuse to join the club, but in the end it was the opposite, in addition Hitomi unconsciously used her magic to walk in the pool without using the spell that her classmates had given to her.
Kurumi and Chigusa have good chemistry, Kurumi is carried away by the things he says and that nun cosplay is not bad
