Seems like it’s getting more interesting, this arc is a lot better than the last, not that the last wasn’t good, but a lot more stuff is happening. Mai and Sakutas screen time always shines bright man. Great episode though

They have removed the buzz-personality that Sakuta had in season 01; I guess they did this to make him appear like he has matured and grown since high school ended.

Actually, since the first season, it's been three movies, so it's not surprising that his character has changed.

@ShiroAlex When I said season 01, I also meant the three movies after season 01, since they are basically part of season 01 (Sakuta's second year in high school / Mai's third final year of high school / Kaede's final year of middle school). But my points above still stand.

Bottom line, Sakuta is no longer a...... Rascal

@oooo3333 I see, well I guess after dealing with all the problems, especially his family, it's not surprising that the character changed a bit, though I'm not sure what was in the original ranobe, only the reader can tell.

I've actually found Akagi quite pretty. If she had gone into show business, Mai might have had a worthy rival. And if Mai hadn't lassoed Sakuta, my boy would probably still be eating well, but with Akagi.

In this weeks episode, there were some elements that convinced again.

First, the quite deeper talk between Sakuta and Akagi showed that there is much more in their past, which which can be attributed to the puperty syndrome. Meanwhile, the further course of the episode remains exciting as Sakuta deals with his past and Akagi tries to forget him.

Second, I really loved the moment when Mai-san appeared after "santa claus" showed up again and tired to confuse Sakuta. When both visited Sakuta's parents, it was heartwarming to see both of them happy again. Furthermore, Sakuta was able to work through part of his memory thanks to his father. As he read the text by Akagi and himself, he noticed the words of Shouko-san, which he should not have known. Considering this version of the story, it was a great flashback to earlier storylines. Also, the episode ends here with a cliffhanger, so let's see what comes in the final part of this "Nigthingale Arc"...

Another rather boring episode, lots of talking but no comedy or something interesting happening.

have a question ik the laws of physics in this show don't apply exactly like they should because it's just a show but still I have a doubt so, basically at the end of the first movie we were explained that the timeline had split when shoko had changed the past and where in one timeline shoko and everyone was alive (which is the current timeline) and one where shoko dies. so now in the recent arc it is showed to us that akagi comes from the universe where shoko dies (as there the events where shoko meets sakuta when her sister gets puberty syndrome take place so it is understood that she had later died there in accident after first movie events) now as we saw in last ep sakuta is warned by sakuta from the universe that he needs to find touko kerishima because mai san is in danger but touko should not exist in that universe as we saw in first ep of s2 where shoko asks sakuta about toko kerishima and that she has not seen her in any other futures that means she should not be exist in the other universe (where sakuta got warning from). I am just asking for a logical explanation?

Sakuta, how lucky! And by the way, he told Fuutaba what happened, haha. Mai visiting her boyfriend's parents.

Considering how smart and analytical Futaba is, the fact of her not realizing that basketball kid is applying to her college because he likes her is lowkey funny.

Another narratively engaging episode. Ikumi's character is getting more and more complex with each new piece of information about her and gotta say I really like that. Her having an older/adult boyfriend during high-school did surprise me tho, ngl.

And oh boy, here comes more shenanigans related to intertwined timelines. Guess now that explains Smol Mai-san briefly appearing during the Halloween episode.

This episode feels better.
It was revealed that what happened to Akagi is connected to his guilt toward Sakuta for not being able to help him back in middle school.
Akagi also got dumped by his girlfriend, even though he supported her well, even during difficult times.

There was also a sweet scene when Sakuta and Mai visited Sakuta’s parents’ house. Then Mai helped Sakuta’s mother with the cooking.
Sakuta’s parents told Mai that they were happy to meet her again.
But I don’t remember in Season 1, or in Movie 1, 2, or 3, that Mai ever met Sakuta’s parents. Did I miss something? When did that meeting happen?

I was right on the money with Ikumi being affected deeply by not being able to help Sakuta when he was in need. Still, I wonder why she remembers Sakuta's middle school letter so differently from what it actually is. If that is the case, then it might be similar to Sakuta's experience with the Knapsack Kid.

I was thinking at first too that maybe the reason is she regretted not being able to do anything for Sakuta but then the episode tried to shove that narrative and I'm now thinking that's not the case. That ending bit is very interesting. Alternate timeline stuff again? Shoko chan did warn him at the begining. Also I hope Mai san finds out about Sakuta unzipping Akagi, would be amusing to see her reaction like how Futaba reacted.
