Awesome episode, I am now getting into the hiro x miyako x (kei?) conflict. Pretty sad about chihiro's condition.

isn't Kei related to him by blood? That makes things weird if she is and she has a crush on him...

It could be one of those "Onii-chan but not really we just live together" Japanese anime storylines :P

Great great great episode, opening rocks (though I still miss Eternal Feather...).
Hiro x Miyako is perfect couple, kei is just big tomboy.

Just my thought. I'm still loving Chihiro as well, the memory disorder is a big bonus. It some-how makes her.. More romantic?

Could see the 'she's been waiting in the rain' thing a mile off.

But everything was as nice as the last episode, adding more to the story, enough to keep us interested yet not enough to overwhelm and confuse.

awesome episode, we are finally presented with an OP, even though it was last week's episode's ED...oh well
i felt bad for chihiro, but cant wait what renji is going to do for her (duh its a fairy tale, but besides that, i feel like he's going to do something else)
we finally get more story on Hiro and Miyako, but the most intriguing story is chihiro's...
add me to that list of people who say:
"i cant wait for the next episode"

Starting this series late. But not too late!

Poor Chihiro. Reminds me of that movie 50 First Dates.

And I think the lost left eye is a very unique character design. And she still looks moe with the eyepatch. How about that.

End of this episode? Hiro got -busted-. :O

I lied. I'm only watching 3 episodes today. Oh well, I'll catch up to the rest of you tomorrow.

I liked the small development in the Hiro/Miyako/Kei story. Both stories so far look very interesting, oh, and there's also the film guy and the mysterious girl who seems to appear and disappear all the time. I wonder what their roles in the stories will be...

Hahaha! This is typically what a triangle-romance anime should be? There will always be a confrontation between the guy and the girl. I think Kei is EROTOMANIA to Hiro?

This show has slowly been getting better for me. I love how the characters and story are progressing so far. I don't think Hiro's going to have an easy time explaining his way out of this one considering the fact that Kei already doesn't like Miyako.

It sure sucked for Chihiro who stayed out so late waiting for Renji. From what Himura said it doesn't sound like she's mad though. Renji's going to have to learn quick how to work around her memory problem if he wants to keep things going smoothly between them.

And I'm really starting to wonder who's the girl that appears again to talk to Kyosuke. She just appears, speaks a few lines, and disappears just as fast.

Wow, this is really good, I'm kinda glad I'm in the hospital now because I have nothing but free time to watch this for the next few days. I really like how the main male characters are connected by only a couple degrees of seperation but don't come in contact with one another.

I'm so glad someone recommended this to me!!! the art is so good and I like the plot a lot ^^

Sad about Chihiro though T_T.... but I luv those Animes where everyone's connected in a way but they really don't know each other at all... I wonder if they ever all meet... Oh well I guess I just have to watch and see =D

Me too =x .. and that made me remember Elfen Lied [when Lucy waited for Kouta in the rain thinking he wouldn't come, but he did =p].

The ep was quite good, though it is slow it's being quite good. ^^

Ohh .. and forget what I said about it being like '50 First Dates', in this anime it's done was better, more complex and interesting ^^;;

I'm still lovin' the animation. I like the style, it's really beautiful, especially the sky. Overall, for me, this was an ok episode, it seems like a "calm before the storm" situation that's building up kind of thing, with poor Chihiro waiting out until midnight in the rain and Kei putting the pieces together. I think she'll probably try and break up the Hiro/Miyako relationship, but that's just my prediction.

Now this is the type of stuff that I like from this Genre. Are those two siblings or not? That is what my attention is currently focused on. I feel that they are not since they have yet to talk about Chihiro.

Also the girl with the hat, what is her purpose?

Great story in his episode, lots has happened already quite some progress with all the characters, seems to be quite interesting...

That paper plain and that mystical girl seemed quite interesting I wonder what the connection is?

Either way nice development lets see what's next!

I don't think Kei and Hiro actually live in the same house. I think they are just childhood friends and that's why Kei calls her onii-chan. I mean their family names are different as well.

Anyway, I hope this love triangle won't be dragged out too long :S I'm already rooting for Miyako :D

The OP is not bad.

I really like Miyako way of thinking. I don't agree with her, but it's true that it's kinda sad living to do something you don't like or that is boring you.

Now I'm sure that Hiro will fuck up like in every anime and not be able to explain properly what happened...

About the Chichiro story, it's really good. Her situation is so painful... There is just one thing I don't like, it's Renji seiyu, he have such a childish voice, it doesn't suit him at all.

I agree Chihiro's story is quite sad,I hope her memory defect can be resolved somehow.

By the way, I believe Renji's voice actor is the same as Kyoro from GJ-Bu. I don't find the voice particularly discomforting but I like the VA of the other two male leads better.

Lol, it was funny how Hiro forget Miya's given name. What a fail xD

Why everyone says the animation is good? The animation is the WORST I've ever seen. It's standard Shaft powerpoint presentation, low budget no movement and just random colours and effects put for the sake of it instead of for effect.

And the character designs are so shit.

The story is boring as well. Ugh if this hadn't been recommended to me sooooooooo damn much I would drop it but unfortunately I have to keep watching to see if it gets any better. Which it won't. Cause it's Shaft.
