| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, of course Kakeru would be curious about who Naho is interested in. Decent episode, the cryptic messages that Naho is getting makes the story more interesting in particular with the present storyline and how Naho can influence the future. The feels ;o |
 |
| Just one "mistake", and I also begin to ask... "Did the future changed already?" |

| Ya I cried. Son of a bitch. |
| Best episode so far, finally it gets to the real deal. |
| I cried like a baby in the part of the letter. The story is getting very interesting, can't wait to see more! |
 |
| Loving this so far. Give me that forced drama. MMMMMM YUMYUMYUM |

| So Naho found out the past is obdurate. She shoulda read 11/22/63. Eh, I dunno. I wanted to cry during that future scene, but I couldn't. All I could think about was how manipulative it felt. Which is true of many things of course but...I dunno. That damn Suwa thing still nags at me. If saving Kakeru in the present time line doesn't undo the future time line then it is indeed sad though. Gotta see more... |
| Amazing episode, Excellent adaptation wise as well. One chapter adapted again, Still not sure when they're planning on picking up the pace if they wanna fit this into 1 cour. I really don't want them to rush through the the manga towards the end. The end was so emotional, I teared up when they read Kakeru's letter. T.T I'm probably gonna tear up multiple times throughout this adaptation. The piano OST is fantastic, It really suits the scenes. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| the feeeels ;w; I almost cried I wonder why Ueda confessed to Kakeru tho |
| Love this episode. She should had told him how she felt and she was too late replying to his note. |
| This show's title is on point. It's sweet and sour, and kind sorrowful ;_; #savekakeru |
| Holy fucking shit something related to oranges finally appears On a side note, I hated Ueda in the manga and now I hate her even more in the anime  |
 |
| Only 3 episodes in and it's already getting emotional. So Kakeru, like I assumed in the episode 2 thread, did kill himself, and I guess that was his suicide note. I really feel bad for all the others, finding out after it's too late that they could have helped him out, but they no longer can. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
Drake1000 said: it already has a live-action adaptationThis show could probably work well as a live action. |
Drake1000 said: it wasn't like that, he just saw it too late :/Oh my, the feels wave is strong. Orange juice, bam title drop. So she left a message telling him not to go on a date with the senpai but he refused, interesting development |
| Yeah, while future Naho's sentiments are nice, it's a shame that her past self is too dumb to correct the mistakes she originally made. Also, can't say I'm at all surprised to learned that Kakeru killed himself, but from everything we've seen so far I don't understand what drove him to it at all. |
Drake1000 said: Oh my, the feels wave is strong. Orange juice, bam title drop. So she left a message telling him not to go on a date with the senpai but he refused, interesting development So Kakeru did kill himself. Did she only receive one letter encompassing all the events Kakeru and her went though or is she constantly receiving letters with bits and pieces? if she only has one letter then why hasn't she read the entirety of it already? This show could probably work well as a live action. Well he didn't see the letter in his shoe locker until he had already told Ueda "yes". So I guess that he didn't want to just turn around and dump her immediately despite Naho's letter telling him "no". He was probably pretty conflicted about it so he decided to just roll with Ueda and see where it went I guess. Also, it does have a live action. I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's pretty good. a_nellisa said: danieltortoisee said: Wait till the saddest chapter of the manga to be adapted, as you might guess— it's Kakeru's POV.Also, can't say I'm at all surprised to learned that Kakeru killed himself, but from everything we've seen so far I don't understand what drove him to it at all. Oh god. That chapter hits the feels like a truck. I actually re-read it two or three times in a row after initially reading it, it was just that good and that powerful. That's the chapter I'm anticipating to see animated (and see everyone's reactions in the episode thread) the most. |

Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Didn't expected the title being named after and orange juice, lol. I guess it has sense. Too bad Kakeru read the letter too late and he started to date with Ueda. And the end confirms that Kakeru commited suicide. Wonder what made him reach to that point. Honestly, I felt sadder for Naho more than for Kakeru. |
 |
| The actual drama has finally begun. The first two episodes had a bit of drama but they served as a foundation more than anything. Plenty of things that I liked in this episode, the show has yet to bore me. Right away, we are presented with a little monologue from Naho. This is a pretty common thing for shows to do, giving the character some time to express their thoughts to the viewers to give us a better understanding of what's going on in their head but usually it just passes by without any real meaning to it. What Naho's monologues excel at doing is setting the tone, actually, I'll say resetting the tone. Like I mentioned in episode 2's thread, Orange has done a fantastic job of changing the mood of the episode in a smooth manner. This was more frequent in the last episode, it's not all serious, there are lots of fun moments too that help us breath between the drama. Going back to Naho's monologues, it is an excellent way of reminding us that she is struggling. She is constantly thinking about the letter from the future and I'm sure anyone would feel uneasy if they were in Naho's position. What happens when you're always thinking? What happens when there is a problem that's on your mind all the time? You lose confidence. You become timid and hesitant. I used to be a competitive ice dancer and my coach would always tell me, "don't think, just do". The reason for this is because when I'm out there performing, I have to be focused in executing my moves, I can't be thinking about any mistakes I've done or thinking about trying to finish a perfect program. If I become hesitant before doing a hard element, there is a higher chance of me messing up. Confidence is huge when it comes to sports. Especially at the elite level for all sports, your opponents will eat you whole if you show them even a sliver of doubt. It's very obvious to see that Naho is becoming more uncertain and nervous. Her blank stares, her delayed responses, she is troubled right now. This comes back to haunt her when she decided to not pull off the eraser jacket one of her bigger regrets happens before her very eyes later on. Personally, I don't understand why she didn't just pull the damn jacket off right away. Maybe she read that part of the letter later but I feel like she already knew what was going to happen. It's an eraser jacket, just pull it off damn it, it doesn't take much effort and you have nothing to gain from keeping it on. She should know by now that the letter isn't completely bogus. Even though that decision made me a little bit disappointed, I can accept why she didn't do it. It all comes back to her being hesitant and making that one mistake. It gets the point across that she's human and humans make mistakes. Nothing I've talked about so far is groundbreaking or revolutionary in anime, but it's these little things that make or break a drama and for me, it did a very good job at creating the atmosphere. Maybe I missed it but I'm a bit confused about the warning at the very beginning that deals with Kakeru not joining the soccer team. Will this be shown in a future episode? Naho didn't have a chance to talk about it with Kakeru. Was she supposed to just force him to join out of the blue? There has to be some context to it, she can't just phone him up one day and say "Hey, join the soccer club". At the end of the episode is where things get juicy. Actually, things were already juicy with Kakeru deciding to date that other chick. Anyways, we are once again shown a little scene with all the friends as a grownups. This time they are reading letters to themselves from a time capsule that I assume they made nearing the end of school. I believe this happens before the ending scenes from the first two episodes because they mentioned celebrating a birthday, presumably Kakeru's, and the scenes from earlier could be interpreted as the celebration. We are given a bit more background on Kakeru's disappearance here and it was very grim. It wasn't what was written on the letter but what wasn't written that made it very ominous. Seeing the friends break down was touching. Although the show has only been showing things from Naho's perspective, it seems that the whole group has regrets, not only Naho. Speaking of regrets, could we have been told the biggest regret of them all? One could argue that Naho not telling Kakeru how she feels is pretty major but would that be a factor in Kakeru's disappearance? I am getting the vibe that the birthday celebration is what ultimately caused Kakeru to break. If I'm correct with this prediction, I can't wait to see how present Naho will deal with this regret when she gets to it. Slight AnoHana feelings at the very end too. Group of friends that drift apart due to a death. Maybe not as severe as AnoHana since the friends in Orange seem to be closer but no matter what happens in their lives, the love for their friend will always bring them together. Now that I said that, it also reminds me a bit of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. Next week can't come any sooner. Episode 2 Impressions Episode 1 Impressions |

| Damn,i cried....... |
| It's quite clear that Kakeru has depression, and the anime is emphasizing it in this episode when the camera blurred on the sides and showed how far away Kakeru is when he's near the vending machine and the others are by the windows. There's a sense of detachment to the reality and a sense of not truly belonging with the group's cheerfulness. While everyone is regretting not saving Kakeru in the future, isn't it obvious from last episode that Kakeru is regretting not being able to save his mom as well? He would seem to be trying to find a purpose to live everyday, for himself, but if it's really suicide, it would mean he'd grown tired and he didn't think there's any meaning in the end. That's an unsettling thought, but it's not unusual in our real society... As more episodes come out, I think it's also quite clear that what Naho regrets is not saving Kakeru when she could have. She doesn't look like she regrets marrying Suwa ever. Besides that, even if she does save Kakeru in the past, that doesn't guarantee she won't end up with Suwa in the end. And deep inside, the future Naho must have known that. There's no guarantee that any changes they'll make to the immediate future would change the future ten years later. Then again, does future Naho even know that her letter traveled to the past? (Please no spoilers from the manga.) Or did she just write it and didn't expect too much that it would really time travel? |

| First appearance of the word Orange! Oh man, I'm so sad that Kakeru was snatched away. Yup and today's episode confirmed my suspicion that the accident was actually a suicide. |
| orange gets better every week imo |
| Best episode so far, this is already becoming a tearjerker ;_; |
 |
| Again! this happen again i cried like a BABY................... |
 |
| This show is heart wrenching... Watching Naho fail and reading Kakeru's letter. |
| Hi there |
| Another great episode of Orange down and yet again another tear-jerking moment. Seriously, this feels inducing show makes me rage at the feels but it's so good that I cannot stop watching it. That moment at the end was just way too strong. Minus the whole mystical time-traveling letter aspect, this series is so realistic and relatable. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| First anime this year to make me cry |

| I felt kinda pissed off this episode with Kakeru, why would you say yes to this random girl you don't even feel anything for (except her face), when at the same time you're getting bentos and morning calls from another girl who obviously puts a lot of effort into it... I don't know if depression is a good enough reason for him to be making such bad decisions. |
 |
| that letter though made me cry |
| Got pretty sad near the end. I'm wondering what would happen if Naho doesn't get together with Suwa like in the future. Would that mean their child would never be born o.o? |

I don't know if depression is a good enough reason for him to be making such bad decisions. She did said that there isn't someone she's interested in, and she didn't gave him an answer. They are teenagers, they are stupid. Depression isn't why he went out with Ueda. Ueda was impatient, and sort of pressured him into answering as well. Besides that, Kakeru seems to be not sure that his feelings towards Naho are even welcome, or if he really feels what he thinks he feels and she feels the same way. Everything that Naho is doing for him might just be what she would do to a "friend" who needs someone (e.g. Naho repairing Suwa's buttoned jacket last ep). In other words, Kakeru thinks that what Naho feels for him is PITY and not OH-I-AM-DEEPLY-IN-LOVE-WiTH-YOU-THAT'S-WHY-I'LL-FEED-YOU. Practically he may feel friendzoned even, not someone super special. If there's anything he'll learn from this "mistake," it'll be his real feelings. Just like Naho, he's not much good with confrontation (e.g. Suwa telling him to join soccer all the time and he relents). There are parallels that can be easily overlooked but are actually meaningful to show character. |
"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Just caught up today and so far it's been really great but I couldn't help overthinking. If he really wanted Naho's opinion why would he hide the piece of paper inside a freaking eraser wrapper? Nobody is going to take off the wrapper of an eraser I swear |
| Ok this was a sad episode and made me sad and curious |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| can anyone spoiler it for me please? how is she getting the letteres and why did he commit seppuku |
Close the world, ƚxƎn ɘʜƚ nɘqO.  |
| Man, this is so good. The suspense is too good and that ending was a surprise too. I'm too tempted to wait for the rest of the episodes to come out but that'll take forever |
| The feels train has arrived. T_T Poor Naho, starting to believe that changing the future would be easy, but then reality came by and dealt a personal blow to her. I doubt she would've noticed Kakeru's little question stuffed inside the eraser cover had she not read the letter, but thanks to her late reply since she was, I believe, on clean-up duty, She was unable to reply to Kakeru in time. Because of that, Ueda, who was only introduced briefly earlier in the episode, snagged Kakeru. I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressurised into giving her an answer right then and there. I wonder if he'll start having regrets about his choice now... Back to the future, our main group have become pretty distant, wounds unable to heal fully after Kakeru's death, which Suwa mentioning that it wasn't accidental. If it was a suicide, then I do hope the currant Naho and the rest of the group can prevent that from happening. The whole scene made me well up, along with Naho drinking her orange juice while depressed. Surely but slowly, Orange is hitting it's stride and I'm sure the feels train will return with plenty of moments that'll test our emotions once again. Excellent episode overall. =) |
