| So glad I started watching it since ep. 1 and didn't get to judge from MAL score. Kinda feel like giving Pet 9 or 10 points. |
| we still don't have all the details but its going good.... |

| Fantastic episode! |
| This was better than the 1st episode. At least, I don't want to drop it for now. |
  |
| I really liked this episode as well, especially the dream/memory sequences were done nicely. The average score is still abysmal but hopefully this episode helps the people who were confused after the first episode understand what is going on. I also sensed the BL vibes in this episode, and I think that it has something to do with Tsukasa sharing his peak with Hiroki (as explained in this episode, kind of like the situation with Hayashi/Satoru in the first ep). Looking forward to where this goes from now on since the concept is interesting. |

| Great episode, really helped answer some of the questions I had coming from the first episode. Sad they had to replace Kenji's best friend with that douche though... |

this_shit_again said: ttcchen said: don't know about housekishou but Runaway de Waratte doesn't have gay vibes tbqh Ikuto, the male lead.. And they haven't even introduced most of the male characters yet. Just give it a little more time..  Just to clarify, these don't pander to fujoshi. Fujoshi like to see two man interacting in gay ways, not to see someone show signs of being gay (plus there's nothing wrong with a straight boy having a bob cut-plus its anime and we have stranger hair out there-and Ikuto is just shy and Chiyuki is more assertive and in Asia people thinks men should be assertive and women should be reserved and quiet and shy, they see being aggressive and energetic as being "manly" so Ikuto isn't saying he's not manly he's saying-in western language-she is more assertive than he is Hope i made that clear |
| A lot of things got explained this episode, I liked it better than the first. |
| May change I'm not getting these trips to the memories and mind, i will probably rewatch the two episodes. The visuals are really nice, the songs too. [49/100] |
 |
| Huge step up from the first episode. Still a bit confusing, but the pieces actually came together by the end. I like the concept of peaks and valleys and the consequences they have with regard to changing memories. |
| Loving the gay vibes. And the weird shit too. |
| Hiroki's vibes are totally gay... and I'm totally gay for him. |
| Well.. The show looks to be, in part, an exploration of male intimacy. So the subject matter is going to be especially hard to.. swallow for its straight male viewerbase. #thoughtsandprayers  |

| Great episode, as we get to see who them sync and do their work! I'm really curious as to how Hiroki and Tsukasa became so close, as Satoru said, Hiroki's peak must've been given by Tsukasa. That alone though doesn't signal anything "gay", as we've seen with Kenji's peak given by Yokota, and they were definitely just very close friends, or have a brotherly relationship. Also Satoru with Hayashi. There's a thing called romantic friendship, and from what we've seen so far, that's the most that Hiroki and Tsukasa's relationship could be. Hiroki blushing seems to be just like a child or little brother highly respecting Tsukasa. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the rest of the show even more now. It's interesting how Satoru was almost introduced as the main character because of how the first episode began with him as a child, but we seem to be getting slightly more focus on Hiroki and Tsukasa. Although, I'm sure that could change. Maybe next episode it'll focus on him. Also, we know that Satoru is really powerful, but Hiroki is catching up to him. |
| This was a good episode, i still can't understand why's the score on MAL so low. |

| This episode reminded me of the whole premise of to the moon and finding paradise, glad to see that concept being used in a anime |
AntonioWux said: Well this is probably a lot of Shonen-tards first Seinen. On a serious note however this episode was fantastic in the way it elaborated on the whole mind wipe thing from the previous episode. I also enjoyed the 1st episode but I think this episode clarifies things a bit for the ones who did not.This was a good episode, i still can't understand why's the score on MAL so low. |

| 2020 and people still think that possibly having gay characters = yaoi. Why |

That means they planned to get rid of Kenji even before they found out he discovered about them killing Yokota. I wonder why though. Thier main target was yokota. But kenji being a close friend of his, will know that yokota not the kind of guy to kill himself. So they kill yokota, place the blame on kenji, kill him, then Case closed. Or so what i concluded. |
| This was one hell of a trip and I loved every part of it! Also loving the gay undertones, YES PLEASE. |
 |
| Decided this show wasn't really for me after watching this ep, but I did come to second the couple people who mentioned To The Moon/Finding Paradise in here If you like the concept of delving into peoples' memories and altering them I'd recommend checking those games out if you haven't already. cool idea, just not really a fan of anything else in this show beyond that |

| Man, Episode 2 here is better than the clusterfuck that is Episode 1. Here, with the "peaks and valleys", the plot seems more clearer, now that Hiroki and Tsukasa are "crushers" tasked by Katsuragi, evidently placed through mindfesting manipulation. Even at the slightest of piss, it can send waves of soul-crushing memories. Now we finally see through the promo cover and its world, with the "peaks and valleys" being human motivation to the touch (happiness IMO) and how far each individual is based on their memories of their own life, the yin and yang in simple terms. As for "crushers" Hiroki and Tsukasa, it's altering memories to different points of time through human synchronisation via contact of the human body. It's an arduous journey back and forth, but now that the term's understood, it's just splendid. |
 |
| Yeah. A hell of a lot better than episode 1. And nowhere near as incomprehensible. The characters were given plenty of room to breathe here. Especially enjoyed the conversation about "peaks", and how they're shared with another person. Really should've been aired alongside the 1st episode, but Amazon Japan does not seem to be in sync, or something? Episodes 3-6 are already out in Japan? Wtf. After finishing this one I even went back and watched the first one, but that whole episode still feels so disjointed. |
 If there was even a sliver of likeability to Katsuragi in the two episodes we've been shown, I honestly could not find it..  I can understand why Kenji's peak lost all its luster. |
| Hayashi is Matasaburo, Hiroki is a goldfish and Tsukasa is Undine. Satoru's 'spirit form' remains a mystery.. |
| Episode 1 was confusing af but as more details are being revealed I can see SO much potential in this title. Not to mention the visuals which are a piece of art |
