Building relationship to strangers is not that easy. Asamura is so gentle but at the same time is always straight to the point.

Ahh yes, some good ole' lo-fi. Man, this anime is so slow and makes me sleepy. I'm watching it sped up but it doesn't help. Saki likes Yuta but can't come to terms with how she feels.

Another extremely well directed episode. 24 minutes of Saki and Yuta talking and Yuta trying to help Saki improve her grades, but it breezes by because of the natural feeling conversations and direction.

Saki is slowly but surely opening up to Yuta more and their interactions feel a lot smoother now. Can you imagine saki from a couple episodes ago getting in Yuta’s face and asking for help with modern lit? Their heart to heart last week really helped.

It’s a bit ironic that Soseki’s soshiro is the work they’re going over and Saki talks about not understanding people who aren’t direct with their feelings while she herself isn’t honest with Yuta about how she feels for him lol.

Narasaka was only in the episode a couple of minutes but man she brought a fun energy that contrasted to the usual muted and subdued vibes. She might be a lil slow and have a brocon fetish, but she’s actually pretty smart academically and should be able to help Yuta improve Saki’s scores. Would never have guessed that from her sniffing fetish 😭

Yuta’s senpai’s music recs should also help. Sometimes good music can help you retain information as well. Another really solid episode and we are gradually seeing progress with Saki and Yuta’s relationship. Can’t wait for the next ep
@Marinate1016 may i ask how yuuta and saki's conversation breezed and felt natural? I was under the complete opposite assumption, could it be related to the translation for you maybe?

I can’t explain social conventions to you, anyone who’s talked to a woman should get it. Extremely common sense

@Marinate1016 I've had about 6 relations so far and am 25 years old, I'm not asking about "social conventions", I'm asking what felt so natural about it? I watched this anime raw since I know Japanese and from a Japanese context it felt nothing but unnatural forced speech between two uninteresting hollow characters. I'm asking you if it was the translations fault that you felt the conversations they had were flowing naturally? Yes the reasons for the conversations were there but nothing said was natural and was it flowing in a natural way either..

how are you so sure that she isn't playing jokes on the Japanese tropes where people have fetishes on those stuff but she ACTUALLY has the fetishes?

Where are you getting these little cues that for example, "this character is a fetishist"? It is definitely not made clear in the anime has it been made clear even in the light novel itself. Deducing this and that just from little jokes and taking them as an actual real-life cue just from what is given until this point feels very weird and insufficient to me to say the least, it just felt like a delusional amount of bias so i asked if it was the fault of the translation/translator to your language.

I have mixed feeling, I'm liking the anime but at the same time everything feels a bit over dramatic, even the direction, which i'ts pretty much intentionall (Personally I like it, but it really makes everything even more dramatic), I'll keep watching it but at this point I don't know if I'll be satisfied with the ending.

So is 90% of the anime is gonna be them talking on the dinner table or what? Other scenes are mostly at the same setting as well. Like with the senpai in the counter and such.

Its still a good series, though at times it feels slow, but I'm guessing the sedate pace is the point.

Another excruciatingly painful 24 minutes. I hate these two so fucking much. I hate the pacing. I hate the direction. I hate the weird semi-incest. I hate everything about this show. I couldn't even get a peaceful break away from those two that suck my life and soul from my body whenever they're on the screen during that montage that had to play the most god awful dogshit ear-grating music I've ever listened to. There is not a single redeeming quality about this show. Utterly abysmal

It has been very difficult for me to follow the anime, the pace is too slow and the plot, even though 4 chapters have passed, is as if literally nothing has happened and there are no indications that anything will happen, or at least that is the impression.

CINEMA THE EPISODE. LO-FI beats started making me feel sleepy. LOL But it was amazing to say the least. Another amazing episode. Both, Maaya and Shiori are lovable characters. Also, Yuta helping Saki out in her studies is really nice. They're getting along nicely through studies, this time around. Is Saki a little bit jealous? Who knows? But, it's cute.

I know it might be just me but the pacing feels too slow to me and just in general the episodes feels very gloomy. I do have to admit the style of it is incredible and Saki is so pretty, she gives me Marin vibes lol! But I guess this type of romance just isn’t it for me, even though I can see the potential of it

I'm really loving this anime so far, it's vibe has been excellent. The complexity in their relationship is palpable, I'm really invested to how it evolves from here. Will it turn romantic? I really can't tell.

The art direction has been so fun so far, it's not quite as breath taking as last episode but every time a scene is framed through a doorway I pop off a little. Cute to see the return on the weird horse(?) sculpture, they always seem to frame it in a different way. I'm not sure what it means yet, but I have a feeling it's not the last we'll see of it.

The music is also obviously incredible, tho the lofi song got a lil repetitive at the end there imo. Mostly a nitpick though, I really enjoyed the whole sequence.

Everything is wonderful from the direction, music, still captures, backgrounds, etc....except for the character movement and animation. The last scene where Saki leave and walk away from the kitchen table has a horrible transitions. Just saying.

It's been a month they've lived together, but Yuta feels that Saki is just a stranger he shares a home with. He himself isn't sure, what is his relationship/status with Saki. Siblings? Could be.

This time, Saki asks Yuta to teach her modern literature. Why? Saki's grades are quite high in other subjects, but in modern literature, her grades are terrible. It seems that this is because Saki doesn't really understand people's feelings.

Of course, Yuta, who is now his older brother, is happy to help Saki. Starting from several points of Saki's mistakes, to the solutions. Oh yes, don't forget that Yuta fully supports Saki in undergoing her re-test.

Based on this episode, for some reason I feel that Saki is starting to develop feelings for Yuta. Seeing the various things Yuta had done for her with absolute intention, it isn't impossible. One other piece of evidence is that it seems like Saki is starting to feel a little jealous of Yuta's coworker...

This gives me Oregairu or Bunny Girl Senpai vibes - slow, dialog heavy but good.

I wonder if the relatively low score (7.37 as of writing) is because people expected typical incest-ridden story and did not get it, or because in last episode we get typical degenerate stuff breaking characters. Guess I'll see in 8 eps.
