| So much violence in one episode! Where's the love? LOL!! Seriously though, I was waiting for the awaited kiss that never came!! :( Neither of the 2 girls should end up with either guys! Yuki is a short-tempered, jealous guy while David is an aloof, tent-sleeping robot. HIRO SHOULD END UP WITH ALL 3 GIRLS!! |

| that was defs best episode yet. david being a bit of a douche and probs deserved both that slap and the punch |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| David makes this whole anime. All he is doing is making people realize what they really want, while searching himself. |
| I would marry Touko, she's too cute. I love brunette women! And talk about that slap. I would've been like ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) just kidding. |
 |
| Sacchan and hiro are the best just make the anime for them <3 |
MrNTR said: The punch was unnecessary but I can let it pass as Yuki being frustrated cuz he clearly realizes that he was losing to Kakeru. I can also understand him being sensitive to the issue of Yana's confession since it complicates his situation. It was an irrational action but human emotions can be like that. Kakeru's challenge to Yuki is of the same nature. What he wants to do is force Touko is reveal her feelings. He knew he couldn't beat Yuki in a race so if Touko didn't feel that strongly about him, then that would be end of them. If she did feel strongly about him, then she would choose him even if he lost. I think he understands that it was a douche thing to put Touko up as some kind of trophy but, like he said, he wanted to know that Touko is on his side. Forceful, yes, but being decisive and a bit aggressive is definitely not a bad thing. Once Touko makes a choice, it would put an end the conflict he has with Yuki and force Yuki to respond to Yana's feelings. I take it Touko's attraction towards Kakeru is more of a "love at first sight" kinda of thing since she was already falling in love with him before they even had that much interactions. From what he said, I guessing Kakeru already knew about Touko through his visions of the future, which was why he was so proactive in approaching her but the details are still unclear.

This, this is a good comment, and it actually makes sense. |
| Im so greatful for Sachi and Hiro. They are so cute! Their moments gives us a break from all this drama. Nevertheless, as much as a douche move Kakeru did in this episode, his intentions were not malicious. He obviously was just not aware of the potential outcomes and misunderstandings that it can make. |
 |
| I don't know if Kakeru confessed at the end or what. He got punched and slapped. He had a bad day. In the end, he felt good about it. |
| Ok, this has to be the first ep where something actually happen. It would be nice if Kakeru actually did it that challenge talk on purpose for Yuki to see that Yanagi is on his side (but I guess that's long stretch after explanation he made after that). And as for "If I win Touko is mine" phrase, talk about bloated ego. Not to mention he wasn't even mindful of Touko's or Yanagi's feelings. He rightfully deserved that slap (and writer would also deserved one also for that scene). Anyway, now Kakeru has to be the most hated man in the city. But at least he confessed to Touko. But those talks of future are still crap... all along nothing really happened. But Sacchan acts as she is actually able to see everything on the road ahead. x3mslayer said: David crying left me wondering what happened... what exactly happened. I want to see it in the next ep Basically he finally found what he been long looking for - missing part of him that he was searching for long time - Touko. That's just about it. |

x3mslayer said: David crying left me wondering what happened... what exactly happened. I want to see it in the next ep You know......normally , a person at that age cant be all the time calm without releasing the rage/stress or w/e is eating him. Some people are acting really violent be it verbal or physical , some choose to cry and some choose a more creative way. He probably choose to cry away that stress , thats the way , probably , he expresses his relief. Atleast thats what I like to belive.......dont spoil me . I'd feel much better if I find out myself that I was completely wrong about it. |

| I can pretty much see it now. My theory that Kakeru being only able to "hear" the future, and Touko being able to see it were spot on I guess. As for the first kiss, I think Touko's words after all that pretty much explained it: Her first kiss was with Kakeru. Why else would she be blushing so much when she thought Kakeru called her up, and all that blushing. Yannagi is truly the best girl of this series, she totally understood that Kakeru's intent for challenging Yuki was not to allow Yuki to win the match, but to force Touko to pick a side. He was being selfish, as usual. It had nothing to do with helping Yannagi with her confession to Yuki. For one thing, having Kakeru telling Yuki that Yannagi told him about the confession would just infuriate Yuki more (the "I even got the girl whom I don't care about to confide in me" syndrome). After all the mean things that Yuki said to him, he was retaliating in kind (personally I think he was justified. heck if someone annoyed me, I'd strike back as well). However, Kakeru was being quite childish about this, and I think his feelings for Touko had something to do with that. His attitude and social skills towards anyone not named Touko definitely needs some work though (the punch was fully justified). For another, Kakeru starting a fight in front of Touko pretty much forced her to pick a side. The fact that she ended up staying with him instead of her friends just proved his theory that he now has a more important role in her heart than the rest of her friends. It's good for the romantic side of these two, but I'm guessing that come next episode, their merry bunch of friends will end up falling apart: Touko will insist on bringing Kakeru along with them, and Yannagi and Yuki will both oppose to it. Sachi and Hiro not knowing anything will be indifferent (though Hiro seems to like him, but Sachi probably doesn't). In the end, the one thing that Touko was trying to prevent from happening (the group falling apart) WILL happen. But alas, such is the wonder experience we call call growing up, now ain't it. Touko has to realize that she cannot hope to maintain the status quo now. She can't have the best of both worlds unless she settles things with Yuki and Yannagi (after this episode I think it'll be an uphill battle), because it will definitely be because of her that the group breaks up, but as such hopefully she'll mature and realize that given her choice of love over friendship, this separation is inevitable. My only concern about the coming episodes is whether Yuki will give Yannagi another chance. He has to have realized by now that it's not everyday that a girl will get angry for his sake. He was about to give Kakeru another beating when Yannagi stepped in and slapped him. Her words to Kakeru were pretty much to (a) stop the fight, and (b) calm Yuki down to prevent the fist fight (she got angry in his stead). As best girl, Yannagi gets my vote for her choice of partners. Given she's still pining for Yuki at the moment, I would love for them to get together in the end. Of course, as someone else mentioned, Kakeru's mom would be a great revenge route as well, if Yuki were to go all School Days on this. That is one hot mom! "David's mom has got it going on. David's mom has got it going on~" Next episode please! I want to see what happens with Hiro and Sachi. As happy as these two are now, you can't help but think that something tragic is around the corner for them. On a side note: I don't get why people are hating on Inaho's character in Aldnoah.Zero. Kakeru has a pretty similar character in this show (he's even more confrontational as well), but no one complains much about that... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
Crez said: Am I the only one who feels NO chemistry between them at all???? I don't feel chemistry between any of the characters of the show, so yeah, there you have it. Also aside of using girls as prizes (go go Yanagi), WHOEVER would like to battle for abomination that is Touko? |
GenT-san said: Huh, is it only me or indeed Kakeru intentionally tried to give up there and was letting Yukinari win Touko over? I think he "played" with their psychological state. That means he calculated something what happens if he does like in anime. Or perhaps not. |
Kurini said: I don't even know how many "what?" I said while watching this episode.... Same here, the show and its characters are a complete mess. To the point that it's actually quite fascinating to watch. But the P.A. Works fan inside me is crying. |
y123y said: iNorichann1 said: If Kakeru is able to fall in love with Touko in one episode( I mean he didn't show any interest in other episodes ) ... Then touko x Yukinari and Yanagi x Kakeru is still possible. Ok, Touko and Yuki seem impossible now, but I can't say the same to Yanagi x Kakeru. Yanagi became the favorite character due to the progress she goes through. She plays a major role in almost every scene : she is the reason Touko understands she might be in love with Kakeru, she puts Yuki in a conflict by confessing to him, she puts an end to the 'battle' between Yuki and Kakeru by being the first who knowd about his intentions( -> Touko is closer to him, so that really suprised me). And When Yuki and Kakeru met, all Yukii talked about was Touko. Kakeru was the first one to speak about Yanagi. -> who knows what'll happen? Ok after this episode , kakeru and Touko MIGHT end up together, but I still see a chance for Yanagi and Kakeru As for the vision when Touko was brushing her teeth, when she saw what looked like two people that were going to kiss, who do you think those two people were? From my perspective, it looked like it was either Yuki and Kakeru, or Sachi and Hiro.  First the left one: Because of the skin color, it can only be Hiro or Yukinari, The right one is therefore a girl ( as we know Hiro and Yukinari are interested in girls :D): Not Yanagi, her hair color doesn't fit: Sachi or Touko. Meaning: -> it'll be Sachi x Hiro , or Touko X Yukinari. |
| David get's hit twice in the same cheek face smh... |
| David all the way, don't care even if he is semi-Gary Su |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

Meaning: -> it'll be Sachi x Hiro , or Touko X Yukinari. I dont think that the person on the right is Touko because in the vision Touko is looking at two people. Now, if touko saw a person that was going to kiss her from the first person point of view, then yes, I would say that the person on the right is Touko. But she is seeing it from the third person point of view. And the hair of the person on the right does not look like touko to me. But, I guess we just gotta wait. Right now the visions that Touko has had are (random order): 1- The one where she is on the train track and it looks like a train will run her over (first person point of view). 2- The glasses chick in the hospital (first person point of view). 3- Kakeru smiling (first person point of view) 4- The two people that looked like were going to kiss (third person point of view). 5- Yanagi crying (first person point of view) As you sumed up, touko only had first person point of views so far ( we don't know if the Kissing scene was also a first person point of view) -> Maybe the producers want us to think that this vision of Touko has also to be a first person point of view , but it is not -> that would mean we see Hiro and Sachi ( it makes sense, I don't think that sachi is lesbian , but there is something important going on between her and Touko) or the other way round: it is really a first person point of view . Meaning Toukox Imi. ( that would also explain the reason Yanagi is crying .(( But The clothes Yanagi is wearing in the vision is the same one like in episode 6-> Yanagi cries because of how Touko stayed by Kakeru's side ) |
| I really can't tell if Okikura likes Touka or not. |
 |
| I'm done. |

| David obviously trolls on purpose. |
And that scene? It could means that... Touko rejected David feelings? |
 |
| As much that I like Kakeru, I don't understand him and he don't understand himself. Oh. And also, I prefer him for Touko but make it more realistic and not forced. Looks like Yuki was butthurt, well. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| What is up with that tear at the end? I hope that was a tear of joy and not a tear of sorrow. Great episode!!! |
 |
| All this drama!! We needed this! Kakeru is still my fave. #davidswag |
 |
| Nice ep, I mean, eps as I've watched all six episodes in one go..=) I don't know but i like the simplicity of the story. Not much twists, hard-core thinking, etc2x but a great show nonetheless.. Waiting for the ep7 next week!! |
| God damn. How many times is that guy gonna get hit in the face? |

silverwalls said: +1parfaited said: that scene was cringeworthy.If you win Touko is yours? You disgusting fucker. |
 |
| i don't understand why you people hate Kakeru so much. Like seriously? The only person who was being a jerk this episode was Imi. If he didn't want Kakeru to come why did he bother agreeing for him to come if Fukami refused? and what about Yanagi's confession? Imi is easily the most irritating character in this anime (at least as of this episode). I just wish Yanagi was just slap him with his jealousy and indecisiveness too. parfaited said: If you win Touko is yours? You disgusting fucker. People who fail to realize that Kakeru said that on purpose knowing what would happen. (can't he tell the future too? or did I misunderstand something while watching this?) Him saying that and meaning it would seem out of character to me. His personality traits consist of him being very blunt, not acting like a douche. Though I would agree....

| Good grief I hate this series so much... the characters are just too ridiculous. |
  |
| I was expecting a bit more from this series. All these events aren't properly connecting to each other in a nice flow. Well, that aside, it's still a nice, relaxing atmosphere that manages to keep me interested. |
