Hmm, the first half of the episode felt kinda meh.

Actually, I think this episode in general had a slow pacing. Meanwhile, Kuga is still hunting the guy she drew with her crappy drawing skills. That embrace in the rain though...



Poor Kakeru.

KajiKaji's character saved them and handcuffed them together. He used up too much power from getting control of the two's emotion, though. The girl wants to tend him. lol @ the pair who got handcuffed. People who went out for shopping saw the poster from the enemy. Foreseeing future that he gets killed? Shimono-san's character, even a shy guy, can joke. After temporary 30 mins. of leaving on handcuff = electrified, huh.

Nice moment for main pair and painful moment for handcuffed pair. lol @ that's why he is afraid of birds, though different kind of birds, though. KajiKaji's character's earring went missing...

In the forest next?

As usual, too much focus on Koharu x Kakeru. At least he had his earring stolen, that's good

the Nanami x Akito parts were done nicely, I laughed at Akito's tsun :D

As expected, the Natsuhiko part in the preview was his only scene lol. At least Sakuya got some screentime to show off his ability (random predictions). That hug! but such friendzone :'(

Next episode looks like it'll focus on Itsuki, Ron (I don't think he'll stay missing for long lol) and of course Kakeru =_=

Too much Akito x Nanami, I'm satisfied(?)

It was a slow episode, it was OK. I was waiting for the scene of the handcuffs, it made me laugh so much.

The next episode is going to be cute I think... (I played the game, don't ask me what's going to happen in the next episode. I'm not going to do spoilers)

There are so many scenes of Koharu x Kakeru and Nanami x Akito..

But none of Mikoto x Natsuhiko. =(
They have the best story in the game, so I'm disappointed that they have no scenes. This anime is frustrating me! >_<

Yeah, but Nanami & Akito are obviously going to end up together in the anime, so I'm not worried about them. =/ But Mikoto x Natsuhiko? It doesn't seem like they are going to end up together. Especially after watching the preview for the next episode and knowing what's going to happen next. =(

I think, Natsuhiko and Mikoto are going to end up together. Well, guiding me through Akito's route, Mikoto would disappear in the next episode, in that time, she will find Natsuhiko. But in the anime are changing so much things, that I don't know what to think... I hope they meet each other in the next episode :c

Smooth lines by Kakeru. They'll probably be together even if he's not sick... obviously. First half was alright. The kid saying that something wasn't supposed to be invented in that time period caught my attention. Second half was cool with all the couples getting their moments.

Anyone else got jealous when Masamune said "Don't worry too much. The chicks are looking after him right now"?

I am just curious though, the girls are pretty, the guys are handsome and even though the interactions aren't that original the premise is pretty good. The art and animation are pretty nice as well. Is this anime really a 6.61 material based on MAL standards?

A bit slow but I liked the Koharu x Kakeru scenes. I want to know more about Nanami and Akito's past though. It was funny when he freaked out about the birds xD and I wonder who took Kakeru's ear cuff?

What if it was used as a device to hold his inner psycho in check?

or what if he's the traitor? Remember in Ep 2 Natsuhiko used his earphone to contact someone.... what if he's nervous because if the wrong person finds the cuff, he'll be exposed?

.. or maybe it'll be for some boring time-hogging sob story like its his only memento from his dad or something and the power of Koharu's LOVE convinces him that he doesnt need it anymore lol

yeah out of all the possible ways to end the episode, this one was kinda weak lol

Episode of "Pair" and "Cuff-related". Akito x Nanami and the "handcuff-related", Koharu x Kakeru and the "Earcuff-related". And the last one "Mikoto x Sakuya" with "no cuff-related" I think at all.

It's supposed to be funny moment, right?

I'm really intrigued by the world of Norn9, who is/are the World and what do they want? How come there are anachronistic elements in the world? Clearly there shouldn't be technology for the flying ship or those people that Sorata noticed in that era, so what's up?

Aside from the setting, I'm enjoying the couple set ups so far and the sort of slice of life tone it has right now. That cliffhanger though, I didn't realize it was the end of the episode already :(

I'm sorry for anyone who love Sakuya, but oppositely I dislike him.
I don't spoiler but I ship Mikoto and Natsuhiko tough (you can see them in opening song).
The reason why I dislike Sakuya is he's to coward to reveal his feeling for Mikoto (obviously) and it's like he is waiting for Mikoto to move first--to break their promise

Kinda slow episode. Akito x Nanami is my favorite couple, I hope they get more development. All those scenes with Kakeru x Koharu are kind of boring so far.

Zzz, why must Kakeru & Koharu be the main pair, they're the least interesting of the bunch, with the most cheesy lines.

At least Akito & Nanami are getting plenty of attention too. Loving the handcuffs, nice one Kakeru.

Need more of Mikoto & Sakuya & Natsuhiko. More of Natsuhiko prob means finding out more about "The World" & those rumors we heard in that town & in that poster about using ability users as weapons of war. Also, them black robots...

Man the development is kinda slow. The characters are a bit meh sometimes, but I do like Akito though. Btw not many people seem to care about the timetraveling kid. I was expecting some more plot but it looks like he just "appeared" on the ship, basically has nothing to do there and everyone seems alright with that. lol.

What i dislike about this series so far is that it's really heavily based on relationships. It's not that I don't like interactions and relationships in a story, it's that nearly all 4 episodes have been about that. It feels like there is so much potential but they are stuck only on one aspect.

By the way, synopsis talks as if that kid who time traveled as the main protagonist, but it seems like he is just a side character so far?

The anime severely shafted him. He was supposed to show up at the beginning with Koharu and help her (his role was mostly taken over by Kakeru iirc). In the game, no one in particular is the main character, but Sorata is the one who keeps the plot on track, provides the viewer with questions/answers about Norn and the seemingly anachronistic world around them. ( this norn9 timeline is 1919, as seen in the early-industralized shanghai, yet there are robots around ?). Why is he the only one to have seen that glowing girl? Why was he so easily allowed to stay on the ship? etc.

But for the sake of the romance, he showed up randomly at the end of ep 2 and hasn't done much so far lol. Oh how less farming there would be if Koharu/Kakeru weren't the main characters in this adaptation...

OK, this episode was a step down, felt like episode 1 all over again. Why isn't Mikoto the main girl again?

Koharu X Kakeru is boring. At this point I even ship Koharu X Akito lol.

Ah, I'm such a masochist when it comes to otome anime. I keep watching because I'm starving for reverse harem anime....

Slow episode ... for a show so heavily invested into character relationships they really aren't interesting! Kakeru/Koharu is obviously gonna be canon but it's pretty boring really, we have no clue what's going on with Akito/Nanami and Mikoto/Sakuya isn't really having much happen either. It seems like Sorata's role was cut out so what's the point in him being there at all ... ugh. I guess we figured out that Sakuya can see the future but that's about it. I want more plot to happen ... literally this entire episode was Kakeru being sick OTL

I still don't get wha's the point of the guy from moder times. I know that he is technically the MC of the game, but here he is just completely useless. But I didn't play the game, so maybe is completely useless there as well and it would've been better without him.
