Even though Minato is out there practicing his archery, I really wonder how much his heart is in it. Too bad he's still missing his shots.

Another character I took more notice of this episode is Kaito. He's always in a pissed off mood but I don't think he's really bad guy. He does need to improve his skills though if you ask me. Nanao is like the light in the dark tunnel of the show. He's always bringing the cherry mood to the show.

Everyone's welcoming him, except that guy who is always in bad mood. He expected someone would be against him joining.

Merhama, huh...

So those beginners one by one got away. They are indeed not serious.

The teacher can sense that there's something that made main guy join. Megane guy is being patient.

The condition "Hayake" is written as "early air" huh. The friend met senpai with glasses and found a shop owner who gave him solution to it. Main guy also gave him diary from that long hair guy, and it seems like the friend got the copy.

The reason the guy always in bad mood is he wants challenge.

lol @ friend guy and the guy who is popular with girls somehow became friends and wanting the guy who always in bad mood and main guy to be well in term.

Megane guy asked main guy the reason, and others who were curious about the clean up, heard it. That includes that guy w. bad mood, so that their plan don't need to be proceeded. The friend guy wanting to help main guy out at least got the guy w. bad mood to keep main guy.

Oh, so the megane guy in the bookstore is a member from the high school w. winning record.

That long hair guy, who cut his hair, is the new teacher?! and the guy w. bad mood also knows him!

Such a great episode.

Love all the chemistry built between members.
It feels very real and touching at the same time.

Also this Love Heptagon is getting really interesting :P
From my observation the relationship is like this:
Nanao likes Kaito. Kaito likes Ryōhei. Ryōhei & Seiya like Minato. Minato likes Masaki.
This is getting really interesting :3

Great episode again.

I really like how the show feels very down to earth. I can see that all the members love Archery with a passion and really want to do their best but it's kinda different from other sports anime especially something like Haikyuu where the passion is overflowing so blatantly.

I liked the cheesy conversation between Seiya and Minato so uh yeah. XD
Glad to see Onogi acknowledging Minato even it's 'just for now'.

I love all the tsundere comments in the show, always makes me laugh.

Masa-san for coach. :D

Interesting episode that did well in showing the first day of Minato as he went back to the club. Though its good that his friends welcomed him its too bad that not everyone was the same. At least they lost the fans. Its nice that we got some expansion on Seiya and Ryouhei's characters. Letting go of his pride must have been difficult but shows how serious Minato is. In the end its good that the club members heard Minato's story and realized just how determined he is. While it won't have instant results it's a good first step. The choice of coach sure was surprising.

Oh wow, this was a really good episode! The boys helping each other out was so calming, I love their dynamic! Ryohei and Kaito interacting at the end was done really well, especially the line "I may not believe in Minato, but I believe in you Ryohei", that was wonderful, even though it was cheesy heh.

Ryohei is such a great guy, trying to help Minato out, even though it turned out to be useless at the end. Nanao was cute as always, I thought he would secretly be a shallow dude, but he seems like an actually nice guy.

Kaito getting character development this episode was a surprise, he's still an arse but he's not as much as an arse as before.

The girls, absolutely wonderful, I'm in love. The black-haired one, in particular, has me, but they're all wonderful! there's gonna be lot's of ship art between them now that two of the girls called the third girl hotter than all the guys

Masa-kun at the end, I'm fucking gay was a surprise, but Kaito also knows him? I need answers!

I can go on and on about this show, and how beautiful it is and how much I love the characters but imma stop it here...

Boring episode about a thing that in the novel took a couple of lines. Hopefully the next episode manages to recapture some of the spark the previous episode had now that Masaki and Minato gets to interact again.

I can't say why, maybe it's his personality, or voice, but Nanao reminds me of Nagisa from Free!
Great job Minato, you love archery and you're trying hard to be back on track!
So, even Kaito knows that Masa guy (let's call him sensei, it'd be appropriate from now on): maybe he'll end accepting Minato thanks to Masaki himself, next episode is already really promising.

I liked this episode quite a lot. Loved that the drama still had a relaxing vibe to it.

Masa-san is here to coach Kazemai and I quite find him intriguing. It's slowly getting better for me.

Masaki's long hair is gone?? ºAº; No way! He's still handsome anyways, but I'm gonna miss his old hair cut =w=


Masaki's gorgeous long hair will forever be in my sweet memory <3


So Onogi also knows Masaki? That caught me by surprise, especialy the moment when both Onogi and Minato shout Masaki's name XD Oh boy... anyways, cool episode :)

Thank goodness the bloated hoard of irrelevant and generic characters left the club. I was afraid they would stay and make it difficult to pick out who is supposed to be the core cast.

That Onogi bastard pissed me off with that male tsundere ish! The dude should've quit instead spouting nonsense like "I won't acknowledge Narumiya", who cares!

Anyways, this was a good episode and I see they are officially in the group tournament. But most of all they acquired a coach in Masa.

I wonder how does Onogi know him though? I guess we will find out in the next episode.

True.

They both have that annoying trait behind them, except Nanao is popular with the girls and Nagisa acts like a girl.

Another good episode, and it consolidated my love for Ryouhei!

First I'm really glad with this development; Masa-san's support, and existence were enough to drive Minato to try again to get better, to rekindle his love for archery, and I love it!

Back to Ryouhei, he was insensitive when he asked Minato if he was cured of the Target Panic as if it were a simple cold or something, but he realized it, and he took the initiative to do something to help Minato after talking about it with Seiya. Minato will never know I guess, about Ryouhei's earnest admiration. And I almost feel bad for him because the diary he got was a copy of the one written by Masa-san, and he already gave the original to Minato, but his good intentions, and efforts were sincere; he really is a ray of sunshine.

He was also the one who intervened, and made Kacchan "accept" Minato, but I really hate his attitude, acting as if he were the owner, and king of the Kyuudoubu; he is insufferable, the reason he is like this is shallow too, like because "he truly cares" or something, but the way he decided to believe in the Ryouhei who believes in Minato was really cool! But I guess that he won't "accept" Minato for a while now, if he goes down the road of jealousy because of Masa-san or something, because surprisingly he also knows him, and he even calls him "Masa-san" too! Things are bound to get even better with Masa-san being present, and Minato doing his best to overcome his problem with his guidance.

omg don't do this to me. His beautiful long hair didn't last long but that behind-the-ear hair tuck is even more beautiful. I can't help wondering if he had short hair and grew it long for a reason or not.

Lol Kachan is so tsundere. So we've got a clear first arc set up with a rival school for the tournament. And of course the guy from Minato's team in junior high will be the ace of the rival school. I was wondering if they are gonna keep Masaki in the show, but bringing him on to be a coach makes a lot of sense. Kachan also knew him from before, so that could bring some more conflict between him and Minato. But also maybe another reason to connect.

Well, that guy Onogi was really annoying during this episode but at least, I'm glad he'll calm down and suppress, if it's possible, that childish attitude towards Minato I mean, "acknowledge" Minato?... like, who the fuck you think you are?... so yeah, I hope that attitude ends here.

On the other hand, Ryouhei acted like a really good friend. His personality might be a little too enthusiastic for my taste but there's no doubt about how much he appreciates his friends. He searched for info and talked to people for references to help his friend so I appreciate his efforts.

So Masaki will train them for the competition, which I think it's nice since I like his character although the whole situation was very convenient if you ask me but well. Sooooo... he'll train throwing arrows while having half his chest expose too, like in the first episode or... Oh! and where did his long hair go!?

Uh, am I the only one concerned that a guy just walked into a public library with a weapon? Maybe it's because I work at one, but bow and arrows, even disassembled, seem like they should be no-no in a library.

While I don't like characters that are angry all the time, we knew Kacchan'd show his dere side to the protagonist one day. I am glad they put it as early as the third episode. (See BnHA! That's what you should've done with your Kacchan as well. Get the obvious parts out as soon as possible!)

The cousins and the protagonist's loud friend need to either be watered down a bit, or slowly removed from the story. They are too annoying.

I knew the teacher would be the guy Minato had got himself acquainted with. The writers probably knew that the audience would predict it, and I love that they surprised us using Kacchan's reaction. (Still don't like him, though!)

It's nice that they decided to admit that the fangirls are annoying.

I thought this was the seventh episode. When I was updating my list, I was quite surprised to learn that it was only the third. This anime feels much longer than it actually is.

Is the conflict between Manato and Seiya already solved ? It was a bit fast. I guess we'll still see more of their background later.

Very good episode ! The bonds between the characters are slowy growing. Kai is your typical angry-but-kind-hearted character who will become more friendly at the second half of the anime. I don't dislike him.

This episode definitely didn't sit well with me. I quite enjoyed the two first one but urgh this was so irritating. So cheesy too.

Who cares about scary!dude not acknowledging the target panic!dude? Like who does he think he is? Since when does one have to be accepted by him before practicing at the club? Does he think the other likes missing the target? Since when can only the best ones do kyudo? OMG I can't stand him. Hopefully his attitude will change.

I also still don't quite get how mc developed his target panic but oh well. Guess I'll go see through the comments if I have time.

Ah, this is so stupid. Who gives the f if you don't acknowledge him? Sure you're entering a group competition with him, then just half ass it and do your individual? I can't see anything here but weak writing tbh. The acknowledgement shit is just something to add to the plot, doesn't serve anything else.

Huge sigh.
Gotta pump up that pretty unnecessary drama somehow, right? (No, you don't.) Also, it's probably more like they didn't want to draw that crowd anymore is why nearly everyone quit, lol.
Also, why'd the shopkeeper just kinda HAVE those notes/diary there? Like, for real? Their half-arsed explanation for it too. lol

I do like the female characters. They're actually like 'Yo, we're not here to pander. In fact, f*** you". A+
I guess I was wondering how they'd actually use Masaki. Now we know.

the amount of douchebagery in this episode was overwhelming. the red haired guy is totaly unbearable. illogical all the time, so annoying to watch him acting like a boss who thinks his opinion matters. the glasses guy is annoying too, why is he so nosy thinking everything is his bussiness? lucky that I enjoy watching kyudo, otherwise I would be thinking about dropping it.

Ryohei is such a sweetie. Him doing all that research for Minato & holding back when he saw that Minato was already practicing what he had researched. Ah the subtleties, I wonder who is going to be my favourite, as of now it’s definitely Ryohei, he definitely won me over this episode
