LOL, that bird is like everywhere, even at the beach.

Funny how he encountered a cat. Inb4 he gets eaten. Oh boy. So ye, this is beach episode. Fun in the sun. The girls looks cute in their swimsuits I guess. I kinda lol'd @ Tamako in the waters.

Good ending though imo. I kinda expected the fireworks to wrap it up. Not bad :3

And so it begins. Mochizou and Midori finally start fighting over Tamako ;D. I hope we see more of that in future eps, and I hope Midori wins!

Of course, can't forget about Dera!



Lol'd pretty hard.



Tamako approves.

And that girl uniform. So flashy! It was blue and turned pink in summer. The boys' one doesn't looks really different from their usual one.

I didn't quite like Midori's attitude. It's understandable that she's not OK with the prospective of Mochizou and Tamako dating, but who made her Tamako's spokeswoman? She didn't even know how she felt about him...

Only after she confirms with Tamako that she sees him as a friend that she gives him the OK to confess. >_> I've always hated underhanded girls...

Well, whatever, this is not a romance and it's done by Kyoani to boot. They won't get anywhere anyway.

I already knew this but this episode really pushed home the message that Mochizou really is such beta bitch and a brat as well. He reminds me a bit of Recon from sword art online though of course Recon is a lot worse. Also what is with telling his mum to shut up all the time when she nicely and somewhat playfully asks if he has done his homework maybe if she was bitchy or persistent about i would get it, but she is not and he is just staring at a shop across the street all day waiting to get a glimpse at a girl he will never have unless he turns into a giant mochi.

I don't even see what is so great about Tamako anyway she is some lesser looking version of Chitanda and her personality consists of well mochi and being about as dense as a harem protagonist. I would of gone for Kanna she is at least weirdly quirky and seems fun to be around. Maybe Anko as well since she is actually more mature than Tamako but well yeah no she is like in elementary school, lol says alot about a person when he elementary school sister is more mature than her.

(shrug)A lot of teens are irritable around and with their parents, particularly when they have certain subjects on their mind, enough so that it's a fairly common joke among parents. It's not an excuse, to be sure, just pointing out it's not unusual.

I'm not yet convinced Midori feels *that* sort of affection for Tamako. Right now it looks to be more of the very close friendship sort bordering on possessiveness. At any rate it seems to me she is much harder to read than Mochizou.

As unlikely as it sounds, Mochizou x Midori seems like a valid crackship, though not at the same level as Mochizou x Tamako and Midori x Tamako.

Well...with such a indecisive and shy male character and dull female, you don't really need a third one further delaying their relationship. Just went from slightly irritating to annoying.
Midori really was a bitch in the beginning, these underhanded methods (lying to Mochi, then asking Tamako about her feelings and then trying to fake being friendly, after she already knows that Tamako hasn't realized anything) can't be approved. If she would be fair, she would just confess as well and then let Tamako decide. She's practically sabotaging her possible relationship...if you have friends like this you don't need enemies. I realize she's just doing it because she likes Tamako, but it's not right. At the end she upgraded from bitch-mode to dislikeable-mode for me, because she startet being friendly to Mochi too.
The rest of the episode was funny, especially Dera imitating a girl :D
Also lol @ japanese:
- seeing a girl in a swimsuit indecent...
- disliking being tanned at all, but I guess it's also really dumb of some EU/USA to tan themselves until they look like roasted chicken xD

Honestly, I don't blame Midori at all. Yeah she did come off as bitchy, yeah she might have become unlikeable for some of you, but at the same time, is it likely she'll end up with Tamako? No, Tamako will most likely be with Mochizou by the end. I also love how no one really mentions Mochizou completely playing the "childhood friend" angle. His answers annoyed me more so than Midori did; He also happens to think Tamako is reckless and always spacing out, granted the last one is true. They were both being horrible to each other, but at least they resolved it for the time being. I can't wait to see how KyoAni handles this though.

Mochizou and Dera's conversation was the best part about this episode :) Seriously, I'm finally liking Dera lol. Probably because he's more interesting than the girls. And yeah, I agree that it's a little cliche to have Midori and Mochizou fighting over love interest. Meh.

Mochizou played the childhood friend angle because Midori tried to suggest that Mochizou and Tamako weren't really friends and also prove that he wasn't someone Tamako had to be "protected" from. Mochizou also didn't understand why Midori is preventing him from confessing to Tamako because what he does really isn't her business. But I'm also glad they resolved things in the end too

He also only said that Tamako was reckless and always spacing out to cover up the fact he was going to confess

I loved this episode. I thought it was cute and Dera was entertaining. I would like it if they spent more time on Dera's quest.

At first I was confused and thought maybe Midori had a crush on Mochizou and was acting jealous. Then it looked like she was jealous because she was afraid of losing Tamako. I can understand how Midori felt threatened by Mochizou but the way she treated him was pretty mean and underhanded.

I'm giving about a 5% chance that this anime will have a kiss scene.
About 10% chance that it will be anywhere near as romantic as Chuunibyou.
And about a 25% chance that there will be any romantic progression at all.

I completely agree with SilverRR. Midori was completely out of line and I don't see why she should be prevent Mochizou from saying anything. The guy obviously really likes her and he's been friends with her forever, he ain't gonna hurt her.

Please oh please, do not go for a Mochizou x Midori ending KyoAni.

Anyways, I thought this was the best episode so far... Although that may just be because Mochizou is my fave.

Ahh good episode. I've got my moe doses of the week :3
We got to know more about Midori and Mochizou.
Mochizou was pretty cute being all tsundere and trying to come up with ways to confess to Tamako.
I found hilarious how Midori shut the window on Dera's face and got all jealous xD
Dera is hilarious as usual xD
I want to know where all of this is going!!! >////<
Really looking forward to the next episode!!!
