Wow, this episode was amazing. That moment when they spent the night together was so nice. I smiled widely and blushed when I heard Magari say Nakami's heartbeat was beating faster than before :"3 precious!

Sleeping with someone like those boys could be really annoying, ngl. But, both Magari and Nakami are so perfect for each other. They make me smile so much. I love them so much.

If this episode didn’t convince you these two are inseparable soulmates and meant to be together, likely nothing will. They are just living their youth under the stars, enjoying each other’s presence to an indescribable degree.
It was that snuggle moment in the manga that made them my favorite fictional couple so quickly. The author worked miracles on me, portraying such a profound yet gentle and natural intimacy between two teens that left me aching. Love as pure and innocent as this must be cherished and savored.
The youthful emotions from them shouting their hearts out to the way they look at each other when shouting like it’s only just the two of them in the world, it is just wonderful. They love each other so much without even having to say it. It’s “show, not tell” at its finest, something Makoto Ojiro is a master at. To evoke intense emotions without a single line of dialogue is what makes Insomnia extremely immersive and atmospheric. You are in the moment with Ganta and Isaki, feeling their joy and energy. As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words” and this series captures that gracefully.
The moment of Ganta taking that picture of Isaki, to capture that beautiful moment in time, is breathtaking. His world is spinning too fast and she keeps him grounded. They both need each other to feel complete.
It’s that moment of seizing something precious in a snapshot is what makes photography mix so well with this anime. Making memories is a theme of this series and blends so fluidly with the coming of age; to experience hardships, grow up, fall in love, and look back at these moments that they’ve made with each other… together.
Look forward to this couple loving each other even more because goddamn there aren’t enough words to describe how much they mean to each other. This marks the beginning of a bird spreading its wing. Insomnia has officially transitioned into romance territory and people are about to truly see why the manga is highly praised these upcoming episodes.

Exactly everything what I couldn't put into words. This show is so magical when you can truly capture its essence. The OP and ED is just the cherry on top.

Talk about wholesome. Those two are precious and must be protected forever.

Why would I spend my time watching shows I don't like? 💢

This is by far the most relatable episode for me. I once was stuck with a group like that while also desperately trying to get some sleep. I totally felt Nakami's pain

Magical episode with animators showing off their superb skills in sky scenery and night sky, the only thing that bothered me was that dickhead.

A scene that's actually exemplifying teenage romance in a romance anime? Impossible. That's another dub for seinen.

That scene was definitely beautiful

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Seeing that prick Haida bothering Nakami every time was frustrating as hell but all that went away seeing Nakami and Magari snuggled up together at the end.

Oh I thought the cuddling in the observatory was too adorable, but the beach scene really hits close to home. From the curling up together to teasing about heart rate increasing, I hope there's MORE hhahaha

Sensei getting the other teachers drunk was a masterstroke too
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

There was something real magic about this, the way they looked at each other when the screamed and when they slept. And his heartbeat increasing. Beautiful episode all around.

 I’m super curious to learn about their backstories after this ep and seeing the flashes of them in the OP.

This episode was perfect from the beginning to the end, not only the animation was superb but the plot too. I'm not afraid to say that this episode was made much better than in the manga!

Very original so far, I have to say. Although the setup is kinda cliché, their adventures are very original.

Have no idea how they aren't dating yet, with the romantic tension practically overflowing.
