----------------------------------------
Kuga Mikoto can be quite cold still..

There's some small bits of fan service this episode. Otherwise, I think it's more of transition. Koharu seems pleased with her pairing though. And also, this episode shows more of their world, something that I actually found unique. The little amount of details poured in has some decent animation. Somehow, I think Koharu is already starting to fall in love this episode.

Ah, I forgot that this airs pretty early at night and just missed it.

OnoD's character hired another person to attack the airship, but failed because of the barrier. He was still able to break a part of it and went in, then forced the long hair girl, who casted barrier, to come with him and she refused. Wait, that main girl just released her power? The area destroyed. Suspecting insider... so suggesting a way to find out. Pairing up. It seems like there are some sort of private stories between some of them (not totally strangers gathering).

Also rebuilding the area. Then the relaxing life of the two. The girl was really alone the whole time that didn't know the meaning of getting together when bathing, too. Little boy showed up, and is from the future?!

ED was pretty.

OnoD's character is pretty cool already. Koharu deflected that blast like a boss... too bad she destroyed the peach trees. They totally don't want to reveal their powers to each other lol. The silver haired girl is funny. Unemotional af xD.

I've only watched the RAW but surpringly enough, this episode was far better than the first one, probably because most of the events/lines in this episode were supposed to happen in the first one, and Sorata finally is there.
Kakeru and Koharu are still inferior to their game counterparts but the parts where Koharu uses her powers was really neat.

Yaaay finally Sorata is here XD His introduction is different from the game (duh) but I feel this way works better for the anime. So I was right, it was Aion (Yanagi) narrating just before the OP song in ep 1.

Haha Kakeru is being kinda creepy here XD so touchy feely towards Koharu. We got glimpses of his teaser side and Koharu who lived alone for years (and very minimal human interaction) didn't realize he's teasing.

Pairing/team is decided. Kakeru's little speech about 'protecting the girls' still amuses me greatly, because well... the girls can kick more ass than the guys, as shown in this ep a little bit with Koharu. So the teams are (beside the obvious) Mikoto+Sakuya (the angst pairing, my OTP) and Nanami+Akito (the munekyun?pairing). Since it's Koharu+Kakeru we wouldn't get to see much of Kakeru's um... mean side. Tch.

Lol, they're already showing the Akito+Hiyoko gag so early...

Ed song and sequence is pretty XD Ofc they're showing mostly Aion and
as her counterpart

Another nice episode. I'm really intrigued by their world and I'm interested in finding out more about everyone else as well. At this point though, Koharu and Kakeru are very safe as characters. They're maybe too likable? Not that it's a bad thing, I guess. But the other characters seem more mysterious. Wonder what's up with Sorata coming from the future...? Or it seems like a completely different world, tbh, the world where Norn is.

I like how Koharu's loneliness (or being alone for so long) was shown, through her being sort of socially inept as well as crying when she was eating food.

Really liked the ED song as well.

Good episode! It introduces the story and character nicely for a 2nd episode....And dang, I didn't expect Mikoto's barrier to be that large...covering the whole ship! O.O
I still wonder when they'll move on from Kakeru X Koharu pairing...they're kinda my least favourite (but I still like them!).
Also, Kakeru is making his moves too fast on Koharu, it's kind of funny since Koharu just believes everything he says lol
The ending song was cool--The girl in it is so pretty, and the way the used the green colours was neat.

ED looks pretty. Most of the pairs have some inner conflict going on; hope they'll feature much of the other two girls and their partners. There's also a glimpse of Koharu's powers, and Sorata finally arrived from the future. Alright episode.

I'm really pleased with the direction the anime is going, worried that K&K are still too bland, but glad hints of their original personality are peeking through. Keep things dynamic, please and thank you.

Especially happy we're starting to see the ship dynamic further explored. Everyone is important! Not just the couples.

As weird as it was Sorata was left out of the first episode, finding himself on a weird ship in 2 really works. Almost better than the original, in fact. Little hints sprinkled throughout the episode, too.

I love the design of Norn. The characters are getting some basic development, but its still early so i hope it can develop some more. I dont like how both of the first two episode ended in cliffhangers. It would be a shame if each episode ended that way.

If there really is a traitor in the group I kinda think that its gonna be Kakeru

Either way I'm liking this series more and more now and I really dug the character interactions in this one as well as the reveals of mysterious sides of everyone plus the whole attack fiasco....The characterization in general was pretty good imo

Going by the OP it looks like the barrier girl will fall for the gun guy however it seems like she has something going on with the other dude she's paires with, so I can't wait to see how this plays out romance/drama wise

The hints of romance here and there in general are great too and I'm loving every but of it....I'm curious to see more of Hotaru's power as well as to see everyone else's and especially the stoic girl and the blue haired guy with the attitude

But that cliffhanger though...Man this series looks like they will have these type of wtf every week lol. I am so curious to find out how and why that kid is there and from so far in the future too

Trivia: In the VN, Mikoto doesnt recognize that it's a gun (It doesn't exist in their timeline)- but she has the insight to still put up a barrier when it was pointed at her. She called it a "strange weapon" and Sorata was the one that told her what it was really called.

Slight VN changes, but IMO it really helps the flow of the story along.

Some tidbits: To get the Natsuhiko route, Mikoto chooses not to pair up with anyone and goes solo in her investigation. The anime pairs her up with Sakuya (for the sake of his route) and adds in the anime-original part where she severely friendzones him lmao (Still fits her tsun, so it works out)

They also incorporated some background info from the recent Norn9 Last Era Fandisk like Akito's dislike of the Hiyokos, which is fun to see

I really like this adaptation so far :3

The romance seems really hollow right now, the kind that I think is just going to blow up in the characters' faces. If it doesn't do that without being fleshed out more, then it's just going to be bad.
Once again, we get the impression of the characters having different motivations but don't actually tell us what those motivations are. We haven't seen enough to be able to tell if the character development is going to come later or the characters are just poorly made. I still feel like there's potential here.

They seem to be really exaggerating Koharu's "pureness", even for a reverse harem. I feel like this entire episode was basically just about her trying to save the peach tree. At least she's not the only girl in this one, and the other two don't seem to be the typical overly pure, sweet, dainty type. I'm interested to know more about them.

I'm not particularly interested in any of the male characters as of yet apart from Senri. I don't have much else to say about this episode, not overly exciting but it was nice.

Kakeru is definitely the traitor LOL

Koharu looks like a mary sue without any flaw, I hope they'll change it a bit. I don't want to see a 100% pure character.

Also I'm a sucker for shoujos but this is wayyyyyy too cliché...

But I'm still gonna watch this because this anime has Final Fantasy vibes... kinda... story/world-wise

This show has such good atmosphere that I can forgive some of the cringeworthy lines. The backgrounds are beautiful and the OP/ED remind me of Aria (maybe the director was inspired by Aria? Or maybe some of the staff is the same?) Nevertheless, I feel like this will be a refreshing reverse harem. Already loving Koharu (finally innocent heroine done right) and Nanmi (she slays) Among the guys, Ron (Jolly v2), Akito (his dynamic with Nanmi is great), Kakeru (he's definitely two-faced, or has a hidden side), and Tooya (he's so serious and diligent, like with his "I don't like sweets" No one else bothering saying anything yet was like "so m8 you know I hate sweets, feel my pain..") seem interesting.

This episode was 8/10, mostly due to the atmosphere and the soundtrack (also, the fact that girls are already showing some personality, good ones, too) This should have been a slice of life, its so good. I feel like sci fi might be a hit or miss? I mean a boy from 2016 in 1919... come on, the technology is better than ours (Well, I'm willing to neglect this as it is set in a fantasy world) Let's just hope its good, the VN has good ratings so yeah, I'm looking forward to what they deliver nexy episode. I wish it was 2-cour tho, would definitely been great. It's still not too late, maybe it will get a split cour *fingers crossed*

It was a decent episode. I'm glad we got to see Koharu's ability and I loved it! Now I want to see the others abilities........

It was kinda annoying how Koharu only cared about a god damn peach tree...........
The guys that attacked the ship, sure ran away fast after Koharu used her ability which was strange....

But other than that I liked this episode, forever ship Koharu x Kakeru <3

Hmm that was a pretty good episode! Seems like it's getting better. So pretty clear who the canon pairs are going to be, and there's definitely something happening in the "past" with Mikoto and Sakuya and Akito and the white-haired girl. We get to see two other powers too - mind reading (it seems) and magical barriers! Interesting, I wonder who was behind the attacks? Then the part at the end where the boy from 2016 shows up is interesting too ... I mean they're back in 1919?! O_O Wow ... this show is getting better! I still don't like Koharu that much but her ability's clearly very strong. Just her personality ... sigh >_<

But yeah :D I hope this becomes interesting.

The OP strongly suggests that Mikoto will end up with the weapon guy, yes. It's going to be interesting how it plays out, because their route is one that takes place mostly off-screen the ship and away from the other characters. However, the PVs show that Mikoto seems to stay on the ship longer with the others, so It'll be interesting how it gets adapted
