@SentiOnikawa It's not really foreshadowing when it's as in-your-face as that scene was. I may be overthinking it, but it feels more like the audience is getting set up for a twist. Especially since everyone's attention seems to be firmly fixed on Mimimi and/or Kikuchi at this point. In any case, the Kikuchi scene is not what I was referencing...
| @warchilll Oh, that. I more chalk that up to being he appreciates the encounter that changed his life. We've already seen earlier in the season that he can't rationalize Hanami's worse qualities, especially when she isn't answerable to anyone else when called on her bs. |

| Mimimi lost, such is usually the fate of the blue haired obviously superior pairing in anime. Despite being obvious since Fuuka has been presented as the relationship goal since S1, still feels bad for Mimimi given that there haven't been real attempts at portraying chemistry between Tomozaki and Fuuka, to the point that the entire subplot of this last episodes have been Tomozaki taking a role more a caretaker of a shy child than a bf, while in the same episodes being portrayed as someone that can both understand and stand side by side with Mimimi. Best part of the episode I'd say is Tomozaki making Fuuka realize that there's an entire world outside school and that there's no real obligation of you staying where you are not happy. Twitter is not the best alternative, so I hope he introduces her to forums and online communities. Glad he highlights how his most important connection is still the one in smash bros, not entirely leaving it behind in a pursuit of "now I'm one of the cool guys and need no games". |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| meh episode. liked the part where he forgot his line. hinami or mimimi all the way! |
 |
| Oh damn... I love Both Fuuka and Minami, but can't lie that I have a slight preference for the happy side of Mimimi. This episode had me on the edge of my seat, since there were lots of emotions rising. A bittersweet episode. |
 |
| Well... there goes our ship. |
 |
| a little worse episode.. mostly because again too much boring Kikuchi and failure with Minami, not only he didn't ask her out but their manzai didn't get enough screentime in episode and was weak.. it could be way better.. if he didn't ask Minami then he shouldn't ask Kikuchi.. he should go for Hinami and that would be shock for her ;d |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| That comedy bit was... hard to watch! It's all over for Mimimi, best girl never wins! Fuuka is so boring and passive, I really hope Tomozaki does not go for her either... |
| If Mimimi's heart is broken, show gets a 1. |
 |
| I never really reply in this site, but this episode made me go here and post that i want to punch Tomozaki-kun in the face, Fuuka is so gosh darn boring. I love her design and personality but Mimimi is the far superior girl in this. Why did the Author chose her is beyond my comprehension. If they hook up its gonna be a fucking crawl if they make a another season with how timid and slow Fuuka is. Most of her screen time is always quiet and slow. Lord have mercy |

@postblitz Bro, in what way is Ami an "angel"??? I actually liked the dynamic between Ami and Ryuuji, but Ami is definitely no angel like Mimimi lol.
Tbf, I also wished to see what a relationship between Ami and Ryuuji would look like, but we all knew what the end game was from the start.

| @Seansy "Bro, in what way is Ami an "angel"???" Gap Moe. |
| This is reminding me of Clean Freak Aoyama-kun, where the fanbase was divided between Odagiri (the energetic girl) and Gotou (the timid girl), but I was cheering for the energetic girl, Odagiri. This time around, it's Mimimi (the energetic girl) vs Kikuchi (the timid girl), and I'm cheering for the timid girl, Kikuchi. How turn the tables... |

| I really liked this episode, probably because Fuuka's my favorite character, so I always enjoy when she's on the screen. Also imo, I liked what Tomozaki said to Fuuka about how she doesn't have to be like Popple, and that by wanting to become like Popple, she's in a way denying the existence of the firelings. Some people may think that's not great advice when she wants to change, but I think it's just giving her a different perspective on things. While his words can effect her, that doesn't mean she's not her own person and that she can't decide that she does want to change in the future. And since she's not in a completely isolated place (school and work), she can still become acquaintances or friends with others. She just doesn't need to try so hard to become friends with everyone. When Tomozaki said this to her, I started tearing up. If someone had told me that back in middle and high school, I think that would've given me a sense of comfort. I had close friends, but I wanted to become more outgoing and try to make friends with my classmates instead of just sticking to my friend group. But more often than that, it was tiring to think that way. I felt dejected when I wasn't able to step out of my comfort zone and that I wasn't able to change, all the while watching some of my close friends who were similar to me be able to do what I wanted to. I think for Fuuka, it's more of a relief that she doesn't have to actively try so hard anymore. She can take things as it goes. She can still change, but not at the pace she was trying to, she can do it naturally. She rewrote the end of the story to have Kris choose her own path to becoming an artisan instead of "working hard to fit in the world." By choosing a certain path, that's more interesting than a general ending. Fuuka and Kris can both still fit in somewhere in the world by doing what they like! Needless to say, I'm glad Tomozaki is going to choose Fuuka. Mimimi is a fun person and she does have interesting interactions with Tomozaki, but I think he has equally as much chemistry with Fuuka, if not more. In the past few episodes, he's shown that he has a good understanding of Fuuka, and I prefer the calm chats they have together. |
| Atleast someone here doesn't need to change themselves to fit in with others. But well Mimimi ship has sunk. |
 |
| Boring guy chose a boring girl. What's there to be surprised about? I don't know what was going through author's mind when he was writing this, but hey at least he still hasn't made dude lock the Fuka route, so better he ends up alone, as Mimimi thing is under water now. Been a disappointing arc overall, and I really think finale won't redeem it either. |
 |
| Sad that it's not Mimimi, I think they make a great couple and I like Mimimi But my guess is it won't be both, it'll be Aoi |
 |
| Oh god Tomozaki introduced Twitter to Fuka, it's the end of Fuka's purity... |
| I was hoping for Minami, Aoi, and Gumi to be the main heroines. They're a lot of fun (not in a sexual way) to be with. Fuuka is just a loli character for me that gives off a vibe of "must protect" character. I actually enjoyed binging this again. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch this when it was airing. Above all else. (Tsu)Gumi is my no. 1. P.S. I need more Erika. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
