| Oof now that must hurt. Watashi should just carry it further and go out with Ozu-kun as revenge lmao |

| Very interesting how all the timelines are coming together. It's as if everyone's life plays out more or less the same regardless of the timeline - except for Watashi of course. What is particularly interesting about this episode is we see where he found that 5th mascot character that Akashi is missing. But it seems that he would only come across it if he was partaking in that hero club. Of course he could easily have ended up in that same place at that same time in each other timeline for whatever reason, or he could have come about it in a completely different way, but it is interesting to think about. |
| I was expecting the pen pal to be Ozu but it turns out that it's both Ozu and Akashi. Watashi really needs to stop fantasizing about a getting a "raven-haired girl" and take the opportunity that is right in front of him. |

| It being Ozu wasn't a surprise, and when he gave Watashi the book with the address it was very obvious that it was Ozu but I like how the series played with the idea of it being Akashi, and the eventual reveal that it was actually both was great. The end of the episode with a more Ozu-centric time reversal has got me really excited for the next episode, Ozu's my favourite character so I'm looking forward to this direction. One thing I appreciated about this episode was the changes to the repetition. The fortune teller popping up twice to add an extra 2,000 yen was an amusing way to give that gag some new legs, and I loved the suave Watashi at the beginning explaining his situation rather than just the bathroom scenes. What's especially great is that it wasn't just for the sake of being different, it matched the persona he created for himself in the letters, and both the suave Watashi and the game-board girls became a visual through-line throughout the episode, it was great. The connections to all the previous episodes were cool too, the film exposé and the Proxy-Proxy War especially took me off guard a bit. But other stuff like learning Akashi's affection for mochiguman was at least heightened by Watashi saving her, if not fully formed by it (not sure why she'd be there in the first place if she didn't like them to some extent prior though). *Edit* Almost forgot, one of the coolest moments is the book Ozu gives to Watashi, "Night is Short, Walk on Girl" or "Night is Brief, Go Forth Maidens" as the subs translated it too, by Morimi Tomihiko. It's a work by the same author as The Tatami Galaxy, and it is adapted by Yuasa into a feature film years after this anime ended. I can't help but wonder if there was always this plan/hope to adapt it while working on this, but regardless it was quite a cool thing to spot. |

| Amazing episode. I had already guessed that Keiko was Ozu and I guess I was half right. Hopefully the last three episodes will only be about Akashi and not some random things. I was surprised when that old lady charged him 6000 yen but then she asked 2000 more XD 5/5 episode. |

| They promoted the "Night is young, you go girl" movie lol Bro was bragging so hard in those letters. Damn Keiko-san turned out to be Akashi-san. Senpai still was very shocked to find out how he got catfished by Ozu. I feel bad for him. |

| MC sure knows how to cockblock himself huh..... |
| Of course it was Ozu... |
| Ozu really is such a menace |
| Inhales oxygen |
| Great episode.I never expected that Keiko was actually Ozu. |
