That's 2 arcs so far that didn't feel either rushed or dragged out, also it was somehow possible to have a couple of episodes focused on Tomoe without losing the sense that Mai is the other MC

Also I'm really appreciating that Mai is so rational about things, clearly a bit naive in some ways and has no intention of making things too easy for Sakuta, but it's quite refreshing to have a female lead that not aggressive, unreasonable and constantly overreacting to everything, but also not to keen and a pushover. I do like drama, but not the unnecessary kind that exists for the sake of stretching out a story, and misunderstandings are the most common device for that. So I'm very pleased with the way things have been moved along to this point

When Sakuta screamed "I'm a virgin!" I'm just like lolwut lol. Guy's a cool protagonist without trying too hard to be apathetic, so I respect that. I also like how Mai's so chill in letting Sakuta go on a date with Koga.

I think this was the first episode that didn't deal with any supernatural hijinks, which was why it felt somewhat different from the rest. Not a bad thing at all though; in fact, this was one of my favorite episodes so far.

Sakuta is such a refreshing MC

So cheeky

I want to see him and 8man to have a convo


Also been in my mind for a while but these girls are making it way too easy for Sakuta sometimes. They get flustered way too easily, even for Mai sometimes

I use to hate anime and thought this was rip off melancholy Haruhi and Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! due to too many similarities in a way it is not bad at all. The main character reminds of Kon from Haruhi and mai remind me of Haruhi a bit.

The way this whole school is becoming a giant wave and no one's going against it is ridiculous and utterly unrealistic. But whatever I'm not here for realism, I'm here to have fun and I am. I relate so much to Koga and Sakuta.

Mai-chan knows. Actually, any girl who has a good bf should be able to tell that another girl could just as easily fall for him too lol

Tomoe can't compete tho. She should give up and stay in the "best friend zone" lol.

Kunimi should get rid of his crazy ass redhead gf and date the lab girl instead. She's so much sweeter and smarter and NOT a psycho :P

I'm annoyed at how every single student in their school is a douche in some shape or form. I guess it's the usual stuff though, believing every rumor they hear, and all friendships are superficial at best.
Seems like the arc and potentially even the loop thing still have more to go.

LOL, Mai should've just accepted that almost bare naked hug! Either way, her reaction was still cute!

And so for the whole term, Sakuta is dating with Koga. I just like him even more when despite being calm and almost rarely having a distinct expression, he's constantly reminding Koga of the butt kick incident and kept making jokes about it, these are genuinely hilarious! Of course, it's even better when Koga herself responded in a cute manner!

Kamisato is just annoying with her bitch ass tsundere personality, but my boi Sakuta always got a roast to deliver to anyone including her.

What is it about rumours in this school? Something happened and rumours of it spread like wildfire! And this time a rumour about Koga...
I'm glad that Sakuta directly confronted that basketball guy. The whole 'bully-beatdown' scene was goddamn satisfying and especially that shit-smelling-kick to the guy's face. Topped off with him shouting at the guy debunking his rumour about Koga. Satisfying indeed... They ain't really dating, but they do care about each other.

Ooof, is Koga jealous of Mai in the end there???

EDIT: Damn Mai was in the station!

So in the end, she's realy the demon, albeit unknowingly. I bet one wish that she would change her places with Mai next to him brings them into lot of mess the next time. Whole situation is hardly over and her bitchy and possesive side is yet to be revealed. Funny thing because she only got interested in him after that confession (aka it's always the same - a man is more desirable by other women when he was seen with antoher woman before).

She will probably try to steal him now, but knowing him, that's not gonna happened. In the end, Tomoe would probably be the one who rewinds everything back, erasing this big case of lie. It's true that good friends are hard to find but the flag was already there and I really hope she ditches her fake Line friends and goes with Yoneyama who fits her a lot more. One true friend is more that ten false ones.

Meanwhile Futaba is getting flustered and those were some great scenes! But if I was Kunimi I would thought they are very close instead. Although there are too many women around him right now so the situation gets more and more complicated.

This show is the show that keeps on giving. I definitely liked this better than the last episode (not in terms of quality, this show's pretty consistent).

How Mai handled the situation is... admirable. I mean, most people would NOT have handled it that way. She's really mature or she's abnormal. Either way, I like it. Though I still don't much like this concept of fake dating. But her banter with Sakuta is still top-notch as ever, I find myself waiting for them to interact. Also, she's so lovely with Kaede. Really love seeing them interact and get closer!

Sakuta is pretty dang awesome. I'm not sure how he manages to not develop feelings beyond mere friendship for Koga after spending time like that. I mean, I believe most guys would have at least some romantic feelings. Also, awesome fight. He owned it. Really used his brains while his opponent used only his brawn. That was bloody awesome. And Sakuta is a really good guy.

I'm charmed by Koga. I still think this whole fake dating thing is bad, but she's quite charming too. I'm getting vibes that she's really developing romantic feelings for Sakuta. Especially that ending scene, I think that probably gives the whole thing away. Really interested to see how it all develops. At this point, I'm already taken by her. I hope everyone gets peace by the end of this arc. I want her to be happy, but I don't want her to interfere with Sakuta and Mai.

Gave a 4 not because of quality, but because I just felt somewhat sad and apprehensive about the current situation.

Best episode yet (not a very high bar, though). Sakuta standing up to that punk was great. Tomoe is a far better girl than Mai, I'm sorry but I gotta be honest. I would totally go for her. Though... if I had already gotten close to Mai, I'd probably settle with her anyway. Since she's not bad either, I guess.

Really digging this anime, the MC is admirable, he's even funny always being bold, and saying what he thinks making the situation more hilarious to watch. Koga is also how many people think in highschool, about fitting, loneliness and all that but Sakuta is the contrary he would be happy with just one person that would be by his side if all the world turns against him, even when Koga asked him how to repay her debt, he just said that a friend will be enough, he's not a pervert for mel, but more of he like to saying her mind out but without actually doing something that would disturb the other side, he just express himself, while being hilarious. And this way of life is helping Koga to grow as character too, while being jealous of Mai tho. The MC is someone that I would like to be friends with. The story and the show, really digging it, the first 3 episodes were superb too, I was scared for the next ones, but it didn't turn me off.

By the way, I like this point of thinking by Koga.. That it's not loneliness what she fears, if she'd lose everyone, but rather feeling of embarrassment or something like this.. I also as well don't really care that much about people around anyway.. But you also don't want negative remarks and everything, if you're just being by yourself and minding your own business, right?.. At least I don't like them, society just pressures into relating.. Also by pushing way of thinking that you must feel lonely, if you're alone, lol.. ;p
So I really like Koga just for this point.. If she indeed thinks about things like this.. Though, she also likes messaging and stuff, but it still doesn't mean that she really wants to relate with others that much.. But I won't really expect for her to go this route anyway, she's a bit too bubbly and stuff for being this type of person, it seems.. Who knows, though, will see, but won't really expect anything.. Because really she more said, what she'd feel if she wouldn't have someone.. Not what she feels when she's with someone.. ;p
Em.. I'm not too sure about Sakuta's point about sad feelings of change being not necessary.. It's an interesting point, though.. But still again a bit rude and very one sided opinion, I'd say.. Well, I guess, it's second time he just speaks like this, it's both his charm and negative side, I'd say.. Charm in that he's just expressing his opinion, really, he can say whatever he wants.. And in him doing so, maybe sometimes person will hear some new opinion from him, or hear a confident one, which she'll maybe follow.. But in the end, does it really work like that?.. In the end, if it's not anime, many people would just get offended with him teaching how to live, pretty much.. Partially being like those people, who would make negative remarks about you being alone, calling you lonely, when there are dozens of other interpretations, but you just have to go and antagonize it in this way, huh?.. In the end, though, I guess it's alright.. As long as other people around don't get too pissed at him at that.. Though, Mai initially got like so, and even didn't meet Sakuta for couple of weeks after that, only showing later thanks to getting hungry.. So his nosy way of telling people how to live and most importantly how to feel - it won't really work every time.. Not like there is any universal way how to deal with things, though, so in the end it's alright as long as it makes out alright.. No need to change something what is not broken.. ;p
Sakuta is having quite many talks with Futaba.. They are good friends, and could be nice couple as well perhaps..
Well.. I guess, Kago's wanting to be part of society is pretty understandable.. She was living long time not in the city.. Her past photo made Sakuta say that she looked like from rural place or something.. So it's understandable why she could be even more concerned about creating social image.. I guess, I like her internal problem more than Mai's.. Mai's is something like dealing with mother's betrayal, mother using her.. Which is also a pretty important problem, just that I relate less to it, I wasn't really exploited that much by anyone, maybe here and there by some minor things.. Also I don't really feel how Mai's problem was resolved.. Creating social image is much closer topic to me personally.. Again Sakuta, though, doesn't really take any stimulating stance or something, just being ironic on that, or saying that you're happy with your image in the end, right?.. It's both not really how it works.. In the end, Kago's problem isn't magically resolved like Mai's was, which felt a bit dishonest and unbelievable.. In case of Kago she still remains creating social image.. I like this outcome so far more, with how it's not just magically resolved, yeah..
Sakuta's and Kago's relationship works as well, I think.. Only have some worries, if Kago probably would want something more with Sakuta.. Well, no wonders, when he dealt so manly with that rumor spreading basketball player.. Even I'd want such protector probably, if I'd be a girl in Kago's place, lol.. Well, let's see, what's next.. What will Kago want in the end, I wonder..

Kunimi's girlfriend really is one jealous bitch, I hope Futaba ends up with Kunimi at the end. Although Sakuta's attacks were dirty (literally) and him proclaiming to still be a virgin with confidence would normally be seen as awkward, he really was one hell of a savage madlad in that situation.

Okay Sakuta, listen closley. Don't fuck this up. I like you so far as a protagonist, especially after that scene at the train station. But you did not call Mai when you should've and you'll get an earful for that, and rightfully so. Please just do not fall for that other girl, just don't!

Starting with Satuka explaining everything to Mai=san and we have some ecchi scenes in the start and when Sakuta was talking to Tomoe sometimes

That fight was savage though his intentions were clearly there a man that we can all look up to or rather an inspirational character and we can heavily agree upon that I really didn't notice Mai-san was actually there when the drama happened

Hope the story goes on confronting the problems that will occur and hopingly the time loop won't happen again and their relation is getting better each episode I watch.

Sakuta may not be in my top-top tier of male protagonists like I sounded in the earlier reply in the forum years ago, but doesn't deny that he's still great, especially in this episode. Laughing quite a bit seeing him go for the shin and then yell out that he's a virgin with pure confidence and volume, and still look like the bigger man by the end of this while Maesawa's popularity shot down hard.

Loved this ep even more than the last. I like how Sakuta was able to explain everything to Mai right off the bat instead of perpetuating this big misunderstanding like a lot of romance shows do.
I'm also really starting to warm up to Sakuta as an MC-- he's really nice down at the core even if he plays up this indifferent, sarcastic exterior. In fact, it seems like more of a defense mechanism for dealing with people like Maezawa.
Also.. starting to sense a bit of jealousy brewing within Koga

So it turns out that Maesawa is really a total dickhead. I now sympathise with Koga, must've been hard on her when she was the butt of those rumors.

That fight scene was fucking savage! Sakuta is very selfless, he risks himself to save Koga even though they're not that close. I love how he straight up friendzoned her.

This show is really putting me through a rollercoaster lol, I was annoyed by Koga but now I feel bad for her. Well I'm glad that this series didn't disappoint me by going with a love triangle.

This episode has some nice parts and again, the call between Mai and Sakuta was still nice, but I HATE the feeling of love triangle that's just plain obvious at this point, given the ending of this episode. Sakuta not calling Mai back after she came back was also weird. Please don't make it worse.

That was a good episode. The new girl Koga is more likable than I originally thought. Sakuta is one cool bro though, always helping out people. When he beat up the "cool kid" I was so happy. Beat a dirty guy by playing dirty. Bravo. His last comment on the end about his reward would be friendship was sweet.

Well, Imouto is tall as heck, she looked shorter till now. It durprised me to see that she is as tall as Mai. Anyway, Koga being extremely affraid of not being part of a group and doing everything in her power to keep up with her friends may sound a little bit annoying, but to be honest I understand her. I've know people like her, it is a complex situation, because if you are going to try and talk them out of it without properly preparing them to be alone or to not being part of a group, things could backfire immensely. If you do not have a plan, you will have to take responsability and replace the whole group by yourself or else she would be devastated. Most of the times not even being her boyfriend is enough. So, yeah, a very complex case we got here. Anyway, Sakuta could really calm the heck down with the MC sweet talks, he can't be oblivious to the fact that she Koga may fall for him. Lastly, we finally get one of the best tropes in romantic comedies, the supporting cast romance. PS: Koga being unware of her powers just make her the second coming of Suzumiya Haruhi I suppose.

Sakuta and Tomoe became friends and that's beyond their pretend relationship. But I'm afraid that she'll fall for Sakura.

Yeah that kinda bothered me as well. In real life (as so many viewers of this show seem to be relating it to) the guy would have snapped in anger and beaten the shit out of Sakuta, until someone signaled the altercation to the train station staff. We're talking about teenage boys full of raging hormones here. Yet that Maezawa dude became awfully submissive after that single kick to the knee; wasn't he supposed to be the basketball ace hence physically fit? Moreover he certainly had enough time to cover his face to defend himself from that follow-up kick and retaliate immediately after. And his two henchmen displayed quite some animosity initially, yet in the end just stood there the entire time as bystanders watching their buddy getting his ass handed back to him. That really required some suspension of disbelief.

That being said I do enjoy the quick-witted dialogues and general atmosphere, quite refreshing in comparison to the average seasonal show.
