| like the rest of the show it obviously felt quick paced. but alot of scenes were put together, and... something happened this episode.. you'll see |

| Animation quality sort of returned to the level of the early later half of season 1. Some storyboards are done clumsily, though the scene where managed to make my eyes wet a bit. |

It looked like something from the 15th episode, just a bit better. |

| how'd you feel about the episode? I kinda don't know how i feel right now |
| TL & founder of Refrain Subs. Website: Check us out for weekly releases! |
| I don't really feel anything either except being a bit sad over the ... you know what I mean scene; but overall, I do not think the anime has done the episode well. |
| @inuvivo on twitter! |
| i feel ever so slightly underwhelmed due to how light hearted it was :\ was kinda hoping they'd slow the pacing down a bit for this part. i mean i still enjoyed the episode but... i've been waiting like 2 years for this episode. |

| I don't think they will be slowing down any of this now since it is 13 episodes. The next episode will be covering much of Rin's route. ... Wait. That means this episode will probably be the last episode being light-hearted, which explains the QUALITIES in this episode. This episode is the only one which allows them to slack on. Look at the number of people in the secondary animator. They produced this episode in a hurry and quickly moved on to the later, I guess. |

| I don't know.. this reminds me of s1. I think I'll rewatch this when the subs are out. |
| So no nice rin confession? Wtf :/ |
| don't get me wrong, the episode was still very enjoyable. just don't overhype it to death like i did. |

DeathDoUsPart said: So no nice rin confession? Wtf :/ Well, I see no storyboard in her confession as memorable as that one in the VN. At least they did not animate that CG. |
| @inuvivo on twitter! |
| Sigh... this got my hype all down |
| So Rin and Riki's route began! Lol some of the voices were funny to listen to this episode but I was entertained. I haven't played the VN yet but I heard it was different. Loved the little Rin and Riki moments although I miss Kurugaya already ;.; |
 |
| You guys had me worried for a second. I thought the animation still looked better than most if not all of season one although it did drop a bit compared to eps 1 -3. I swear Masato was closer to kissing Rin than Riki with that hug xD. Yeah the pacing was fast but I didn't mind it since I enjoyed this episode.I think it will be the last light hearted episode as someone else mentioned before. They did remove the CG of Rin confessing but she couldn't keep up that pose for long I guess but I wanted at least something that resembles the CG. I thought I heard a new ost there for a moment. Anyone else? It was sad when |
| next episode is going to be somewhat lighthearted as well |

 Well... who are you? |
| @inuvivo on twitter! |
| Well the most I was looking forward to from this episode was rin confessing to riki, so is there no confession whatsoever? |
xMaebaraK1x said: Well... who are you? If it helps, the quality still looks better than the quality in season 1 xD. I really hope Refrain looks like the PV. |

| The confession was rather underwhelming only because there wasn't a confession CG.. I wish that the confession CG was at least animated. I'd say it's an average episode although Riki got really cute XD |
 |
| Riki and Rin are a couple. Looked like everyone was planning for this to happen. |
 |
| I don't know how I feel about this episode, I guess I'm just neutral about it, the quality was lower than the previous episodes, and a lot of stuff was different from the VN. The confession was alright though, but I wanted to see the CG animated, but it's whatever. |
 |
| Great blushing techniques JC Staff XD (no) overall it was a fun episode to watch even if we got some S1 animation styling for most scenes. Am I the only one who thought the rolling on the hill cliched moment was funny? Possibly because of the animation |

I wonder how many cans Dorj gets through a day :L |
| Well... some pretty obvious changes done in this one, but the confession was just as casual as in the VN at least lol |
  |
| Wow they sure did change quite a bit. But no complaints at all from me. They made the transition to them being a couple pretty smooth and acceptable. Lol at Rin's straightforwardness in confessing XD No Yuiko T_T Dem foreshadowings by Kyousuke and Komari TT__TT And Dat Kud, Haruka and Mio leaving scene hit me. I'm actually liking this execution. It'll make anime only viewers understand what's happening when it finally hits and happens. And make VN readers have the feels hit them in the face :*)...Nice going JC. Nxt ep, I didn't care about much in the VN but it might be enjoyable animated. |

| That confession got me pulled in a bit lol That moment when Riki fell on top of Rin ;) Pretty good episode overall I guess. |
| Rin confession to riki was very goos as good as the visual novel just different the pace was more slice of lifey for this episode so that is great... But..... haruka.... kud... mio.... was so sad and masato having his back towards them whilw kyousuke faced them heads on and got teary eyed good god.. 5/5 Also just so a hint for some of you anime fans the weather is getting very very cloudy [Spoilers] can't wait for riki to realize that there is no secret to this world abd for him to realize it was all a prank[/spoilers] |
| Nooooooooo!!! Harukaaaaa!!! Kuuuud!!! Miooooo!!! Goodbye girls ;_; |
 |
| Lol what happened to suginami? Riki just left her hanging there... |
| http://imgur.com/qRwHVsc damn u riki.. |
| lol The awkward moment when you tell to your friend that you're dating with her sister xDD I liked this episode a lot. I think the casual confession from Rin really suit her. And when you guys talk about that the animation quality sort of returned to S1 level I always think in episode 7 from the first season and that freak me out but nah, still looks fine. Anyways, my body is ready for the next episode. |

| Wow, J.C. changed many things once again. Cute episode, I guess. And... that disappearance scene. It was quite sad and all, but... was it really neccessary? It also kinda contradicts the happenings of season 1. Mio being absent during haruka event, Mio and Haruka being absent during Kud event Riki not being able to contact Haruka via phone during Kud route |
 |
| Was a good episode for me. I noticed kurugaya was missing, I still don't know what the secret to this world is. I'm sure there are a lot of clues from season one the I haven't put together. My one guess is that something bad is going to happen to everyone except for Rin and Riki. |
 |
| Riki and Rin! :D Overall I think they did a good job on this episode, there were a few things that were slightly different that I didn't like as much, but there were also some I liked better |
