| I'm surprised this episode was as peaceful as it was, then again I shouldn't have expected an emotional outburst from Kazusa of all people over this kind of thing. Not yet, anyways. |
 |
| Man, which such a peaceful episode like this, it's gonna leave a big scar on my heart when drama starts kickin' in ;_; All the feels .... Have been watching romance ani for years, already saw lots of trilove but none of them like WA2. Heck it's the first time I feel sorry for any of the two cause they're best friend but too bad, they fell in love with the same guy who turns to be their best friend as well. |
hahailham1 said: what's with this episode.. after 7 great episode they just put lot of fanservice here and ruin this episode.. i hope next week will have a better show than this one This had more fanservice than the last episode? I couldn't even give a fuck about the fanservice overall because it wasn't trying to be in-my-face or anything and it didn't even detract from the story which is much much more important than the fanservice that nobody would even notice if they didn't put their mind into it and the character interactions this episode was still more than fulfilling and the plot moved at a very steady pace and yet this whole episode is ruined by fanservice? It's like saying that the whole series of Game of Thrones is ruined because it has incest (not a spoiler). |
| Woah! This was a nice episode to introduce the storm that's about to come in the next few episodes. Brilliant Idea. Loved it! Peaceful Episode!. Definitely the Calm before the storm. I love how Kasuza and Setsuna interacted with each other despite their situations/true feelings for Haruki. The fanservice, interactions and the feels were just perfect to sum it all up. I nearly even cried at some points. Definitely one of the best Romance themed show this year. I don't get why this is so underrated. Oh My. I can't really choose between the two main heroines. After seeing how lovable Setsuna is in this very episode. It's like Setsuna is on par with Kasuza now in my books. They're both likable. Arrrrgggghhhhhh. I was really rooting for Kasuza a few weeks back but after this episode, I feel like they're on par with each other. Nevertheless, A Brilliant episode 5/5 |
| I got Setsuna x Kazusa vibes from this episode lol I don't think Haruki is really in love with Setsuna. He just went with the flow at that time. And Setsuna is aware of it. Kazusa's feelings are unknown, although I'm pretty sure that she likes Haruki but she does not want to hurt her friend, Setsuna. |
| I sense a glimpse of chance for Kazusa. That's enough for me. Setsuna is beautiful , kind but Kazusa was meant to be for Haruki. If this going to be on the Setsuna route , I'm going to jnhuabdanmfal. Nonetheless , great episode , I couldn't careless about the fanservice. |

To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| Enjoyed this calm episode. |
| Well, the inevitable trainwreck begins. When Chikashi pointed out who he thinks Kitahara is really going for -- well, he didn't finish, but it's clear he was pointing to Kazusa -- both Io and Takeya immediately stopped him. Their attitude, on top of the guilt that Setsuna has demonstrated all this time, tells us that just about everyone other than Kazusa and Haruki themselves knows who the two of them really have feelings for. And it's kind of depressing, because Setsuna is really a good person (if she isn't, she'd be attempting to exclude Kazusa after she gets together with Haruki), but I don't see this turning out well for her. Still, this episode features some superb characterization. It's amazing how well they flesh out the characters and show off their different sides and emotions without falling into bad cliches. If only every series can do as well in this department, anime in general would be a lot better. |
| Was a satisfying episode. Go, Kazusa! |
| Dies Irae! :) |
| OMFG!!! can this anime have an episode that is not great???? damn How can we have such a great romance animes in this season like WA2 and GT. n i must not forget about Nagi no Asukara. |
| What a fantastic episode. I love this romance anime, maybe even more than Golden Time or Little Busters this season. They're all pretty close. That hot tub scene was great, I like anime that focus on 2 or 3 characters |
 |
| I hope that Gen Urobuchi takes over this anime from here on... |
| Amazing episode. And the higher we are, the harder we fall. |

| White Album 2 is probably my favorite Anime this Season, only other one that might get close is golden time but can't compare them anyway. Quite happy that there is a really good romance and upcoming drama after long long time. The story build up to a point where the "love" troubles and drama gonna start and I really look forward to the next episode. |

uyalucky said: Explain yourself now... Now there's only one person that Haruki can kiss without being called a cheater. |
| Dat quick glance of Setsuna's reaction to Haruki's reaction to the possibility that Touma might have a boyfriend next year The romantic tension in this triangle keeps pulling and pulling.... Just waiting for the rubber band to snap |
| Some really strong tension between the three. I feel as if Haruki is not sure which of the two he actually loves. He most likely has strong feelings for both. Setsuna and Touma's relationship gained the most. I hope that no matter what happens between Haruki the two heroines still remain friends. |
 |
| It's painfully obvious what's going to happen for the next few episodes, that I can't help but feel bad for This reminds me of Kokoro Connect all over again. |

| That look Setsuna gave Haruki... So much tension in a "happy" trip. |
| Haruki has it tough... no matter who he chooses someone will get hurt. Option 3 would be to get a girlfriend who has nothing to do with the music club... but that would hurt both Setsuna and Kazusa. Ahh what the hell, challenge the society and shoot for threesome ending dude! (yeah no way that'll happen) |
HybridMBL said: Dat quick glance of Setsuna's reaction to Haruki's reaction to the possibility that Touma might have a boyfriend next year The romantic tension in this triangle keeps pulling and pulling.... Just waiting for the rubber band to snap My thoughts exactly. I have a feeling they will make Haruki look like a jerk/asshole from now on. I didn't have any reaction when he started dating Ogiso, this anime so far is one of the rare times that I liked both the possible girls he could have dated. |

Tengoku_no_hakai said: Ahh what the hell, challenge the society and shoot for threesome ending dude! (yeah no way that'll happen) I know it won't happen, but with the amount that all three of them love each other, it's not really a far-fetched scenario... Polyamory is a thing! |
| Beautiful episode. I realized that I love Touma so much. She's so fragile despite everything. That Haruki it's a lucky bastard. Anyway, I don't want to see a tragedy in this show, I wish they could stay as they are, that would be awesome. |
| Setsuna is pretty earnest and all about her friendship with Kazusa but, don't you guys think she went a little overboard in this episode taking Kazusa in that bath when Kitahara was there? A couple of big hints were dropped in this episode. Even Kitahara's friends noticed that he actually liked Kazusa and then Setsuna noticing Kitahara's reaction to Kazusa talking about having a boyfriend. I like Setsuna. So, don't get me wrong. But I think Kazusa would be a better girlfriend IRL, as a woman, as a friend, and as a personality. |

| Why did Haruki started dating Setsuna when he doesn't even seem in love with her? although i'm rooting for Setsuna i don't want them to end up like this. This episode is a slap on the face saying Kazusa is the main heroine and Setsuna is the fifth wheel. This is True Tears all over again Haruki = Shinichiro, Hiromi = Kazusa, Noe = Setsuna It seems like Haruki is starting to become an indecisive bastard... Mixed baths anyone? |

ScoutK said: shanimebib said: I like Setsuna. So, don't get me wrong. But I think Kazusa would be a better girlfriend IRL, as a woman, as a friend, and as a personality. For me tsunderes are not a good choice IRL. Kazusa seens to be more dominant, unhappy. I think Haruki is more attract for her figure and talent. He is masochist and he is taking the girl role. So, I really like Setsuna but Haruki doesn´t deserve it. Kazusa is his perfect couple in this situation. Sorry for my bad english :) Nah. Tsunderes are pretty amazing when they are in love. ;) |

| I really liked this chapter. ohh what can i say, oh my Kazusa, she is such a good friend is almost painfull. Cuz, even if she doesnt know how to name it, we all know that she has something for Haruki. She said that she'd never fallen in love,and - most probably is scared about the idea - more now knowing that the guy she loves is her dearest friend lover. I can't figure Setsuna tho. i know she has all this trouble about having true friends and all. But she is not making to much sense now, i have always seen her as someone very perseptive. But, like. Until now, she knew Kazusa as her most potential rival in love. She was aware that Haruki, has strong feelings for her (not necessarily love) and got really uneasy. She even knew that Kazusa liked Haruki. And now that she has him, is like idk. I think she is being selfish and idealistic. Why i say selfish? because she wants all, her Love and her pure, true unbreakable friendship and don't think about Kazusa's or Haruki's feeligs. Like she really is pushing things too hard here. (not to mention the bath scene, wtf no need to show your bf your sexy friend/his potential crush naked) A wise idea would have been, spending a night with all her friends, and then stay with haruki alone in a more romantic plan. Setsuna and Haruki, don't really look like lovers to me to be honest... Along this chapter i never saw 2 + 1 . Only 3 friends. (i like Setsuna tho, and i found very cute her interactions with Kazusa) idk idk idk. We will see what happens~~ |
AsianKungFu said: Why did Haruki started dating Setsuna when he doesn't even seem in love with her? Because he actually likes her to an extent, and after Kazusa's "rejection" and Setsuna's sudden confession, I doubt any guy would say no. and please, why so quick on calling him an indecisive bastard? And I bet you'll still call him a bastard even when he actually makes a decision. That's how bad his dilemma is. |

This is True Tears all over again Haruki = Shinichiro, Hiromi = Kazusa, Noe = Setsuna It seems like Haruki is starting to become an indecisive bastard... Mixed baths anyone? He doesn't even love her? ...Are we even watching the same show here? It's already shown that Haruki is attracted to Setsuna in some way. We've also already been shown that Haruki is convinced that Kazusa doesn't seem to be attracted to him through a few implications it seems. He even told Kazusa directly that he started dating Setsuna. Setsuna made the first move, and she got her prize, simple as that; And he accepted it because he is also attracted to Setsuna, so at this point he still hasn't realized his true feelings on who he is actually attracted to. There is no rule where you can only be attracted to a single girl or guy. So you could say he loves them both. Love is all about indecisiveness if your rash with your decisions. That doesn't mean any of the people involved are to blame though, because you can't help but be rash when your experiencing something the first few times. |

| Ah...what a great episode. I appreciate how subtle they make certain things or at least try to. In my opinion...kazusa is clearly the better match for haruhi. She is more dominant and demanding but haruhi compliments her by providing her with emotional support which helps keep her grounded. Haruhi in return needs touma because she can guide him and make decisions. It's like a scorpio and pisces type relationship. So I see them beneficial towards one another...with setsuna however, I can only see her as the only one who gets something from the relationship. It reminds me of kokou and banris relationship in golden time which is just give and take. |
| quite good episode.. but i kinda sad because well, my assumption is not 100% though maybe around 60 - 70% |
 |
| Touma and Haruki do seem more like parents to Setsuna in a way.. it's like they're both afraid of her getting hurt and ignoring/not realizing their actual feelings as a result. It's an annoying situation just prolonging the inevitable. Beaver897 said: Why's the car a left-wheel drive? Aren't Japanese cars a right-wheel drive like Australian ones?

comochi said: That thing in the spoiler doesn't mean anything, because: -IC was linear -Both Main females have their own ending in the VN. It only works if WA2 was a generic harem romance, but this is adapted from a VN which has many routes and endings. They can easily go with either routes. Heck, I really wish they can omnibus it like how it went with Amagami and Yosuga no Sora, because I really want to see "all the endings" in the anime. |
