| Best episode so far in my opinion. The end of the episode was emotional as hell. |
 |
| Best episode so far, I can't deal with just how nice a guy Suwa is, something good has to come his way, my heart couldn't take otherwise! |
 |
| Beautiful & Sweet episode. Lol everyone asking Kakeru what he wants for a present. Takako was awesome defending Naho from Ueda. So close to hitting her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Kakeru. Those are some pretty cool gifts. These guys are all such amazing & close friends. Kakeru letting it all out was so sad. Suwa hugging him was the best. He is more than just a great friend, but a brother. Naho finally confessing. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| So glad that Kakeru got to let go of that burden he was holding onto. Now I see why he felt that regret.. because of the text he sent to his mother. Anyone would feel some type of way if she passes away the same day. Very emotional scene :( I also loved how Naho's friend gives that bitch a piece of what we all were thinking as well :) |
| Absolutely stunning episode. I cried as much as I thought I would. |
| I saw the movie on the way home to the USA from Russia so this is a little awkward. Did they change up the anime style a little? I like it Q_Q Kakeru x Suwa 4 Lyfe ..... I just can't... (cause, i saw the movie... Q_Q) |
  |
| Amazing episode, I'm really liking Suwa, Naho and Kakeru now, the other characters are good too actually. The story is just getting more and more interesting, wonder what will happen after this as the letter will most likely end with his suicide right? I mean, there's not much to tell them after Kakeru actually dies. 5/5 |
| WAIT WHAT?? Why is there salty tasting water on my face? It appears to be dripping out of my eyes like a faucet. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
opheliakc said: Bitch is so dense that it hurts. How can you be this stupid. And Suwa is yet again bring cuck as shit What are you even talking about? |
| Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |
| Suwa is the real MVP of this show. He is even ready to give up his wife and son to save his friend. I don't know how I feel about that, cause he will regret it. It will make him regret and need saving. I hope they all support each other. Maybe he married Naho to save her, not that it had to be her. I wanna know what future Suwa is thinking about that >< This show is great, i like it very much! |
| it happened. took 7 eps but now i can say that orange made me cry. i love suwa!! ;-; |
| Wow. Every episode Suwa has been proving himself as the best character. I hope Kakeru will have a hope to continue living. |
 Why are they celebrating Kakeru's 18th birthday 10 years into the future? I'm lost. Was that a typo or something? |
 |
| Also, to be honest, the only thing that's really bummed me out about this anime is Suwa. The guy's giving up the love of his life to save another. It reminds me of the last few episodes of Rumbling Hearts. |
|
| Yo Suwa needs a fucking award or something! Like the guy is giving up his future life to ship two others. All while trying to prevent his friend's suicide. God damn life is tough for him. I definitely shed a few tears :D |
donnovien said: I dunno... I love shipping male characters in just about everything, but it just seems to cheapen the authenticity and emotional depth to ship Suwa and Kakeru. Or anyone in this series, actually. If the story were more lighthearted then I'd probably be down for it, but for me it just feels out of place.Black_wind said: Suwa is too good for this ugly world!! fck i need more tissues (i am all about Suwa x Kakeru now.... Naho who?) Suwa X Kakeru is love, Suwa X Kakeru is life. I will go down with this ship ಥ_ಥ ╥﹏╥ |

| This show is getting better and better, this was the best ep yet. It looks like the past timeline has definitely been changed but I don't see any changes in the future timeline yet. If they can prevent the suicide, which seems very likely now since they are all working together, at some point the future timeline should be replaced. This time stuff gives me a headache. |
| This show is so good. ;~; |
 |
| Suwa is gonna be the brother of the season as things stand like, this guy is like way too good. Ueda-senpai is a total bitch and while Naho was gonna stand up to her, I'm glad her friends put her in place in a much more aggressive way that showed her who is boss. The rest of the episode shifted between lighthearted and comical moments (the flowers were totally funny shit) to romantic and then downright scary. Suwa did a good job in trying to help alleviate Kakeru's pain, but based on what Naho sees, it seems that their job is not done (well we're in episode 7 so that's a given). Maybe Kakeru is starting to see some joy but is still not able to fully forgive himself. Also it seems the girls are starting to realise something. They been hinting that they are more aware than they let know, and now when they were standing outside, made it clear that are sure something else is going on. Dunno if they know or have letters of their own, but it will be a matter of time before they jump in the Save Kakeru train. |
 |
| Ehhh, I can still care less about Kakeru living or dying to be honest. I feel worse for Suwa. Kakeru died already, so why send these letters in the past. Did Naho even consider how the past Suwa would feel having to do these things when she is the one he loves most. Yeah, you can say Suwa wrote these letters too, but lets be real, he wrote his letter because he will do anything for Naho, since he is madly in love with her and he is supporting his wife. I still see her as a manipulative ungrateful bitch that just can't appreciate what she has in the present due to some guy that died 10 years ago and they only knew for several months. I still feel the same way that she loves the guy and this is her ulterior motive along with saving him. Also, crying in front of your husband because you just found out a guy that died 10 yrs ago loved you? Its obvious Suwa and her family are 2nd choice, that shit is mad disrespectful. I can understand her being sad about him dying, but her being said over him loving her is a whole other thing that shows future Naho still has feelings for him. Is it really appropriate to have feelings like that when you are married to someone else and have a kid with them <rolls eyes>. Suwa should have married someone else other than this chick that is stuck on this dead guy. I had a friend get hit by a drunk driver several years ago while he was walking down the road, it pretty much effected our circle of friends deeply. We knew him for almost 10 years, we mourned him, honor him in life with the things we do (one of our friends named his son after him) and live on with our lives. He actually asked my friend to pick him up, but my friend didn't reply, since he was asleep at this time and if he was picked up he wouldn't have died, but my friend doesn't feel regret over it because it was out of his control at that point. My point is, these people need to get over it, and I feel like this entire thing was spearheaded by Naho, since she wanted to be involved with him romantically, so she would at least want to save him in another timeline to do this. Its evident in how in the letters she pushes past Naho to get romantically involved with him. Still not buying it, seems to get dumber with each episode, but I will watch on and maybe the ending will change my mind. |

bro dont worry, even if Naho comes together with Kakeru, it will be in a different timelines, so the baby in the other universe still exists |

And about the story, its true that it is pretty selfish by Naho to ask Suwa in the past to do that, but i do think Naho loves Suwa in this timeline. Given the fact that Naho knows sending back the letter will only create an alternate universe but not change the future, i think she still does it anw in order to relive her regret, and effectively move on from the past. But in the end, the timelines where Naho and Suwa are married will still exist and and the alternate timeline where Naho is together with Kakeru will also co-exist. So it will be a win win situation in a sense. |

So it will be a win win situation in a sense. I mean you can look at it that way, but the Future timeline she is still hung up on Kakeru as evidenced by her crying when she found out he loved her. That shouldn't hold any greater meaning to her if all she cares about is wanting to save his life, right? Especially, since she should appreciate what she has now with Suwa and her kid. I mean we all know if Kakeru never died she would of probably be married to him and had his kid, so it still is almost like Suwa is 2nd place in her eyes which is kind of disingenuous. She seems like the type of girl that would drop Suwa and her son in a heartbeat if she could get Kakeru back. Also how do they know these letters aren't altering their timeline instead of a parallel world? As viewers we know this, but Naho doesn't know this, so is she really going to take a gamble on saving a guy that died 10 years ago over her family? Again, I know this isn't the case (as a viewer), but the characters in this story are time quantum physicists lol. |
| I liked how Suwa played his role perfectly. If there was Naho instead of Suwa, she wouldn't be able to take the first step like Suwa. Good job bro. |
 |
Kryn said: Yes, finally. Even it takes some while and after he missed some "chance" like when everybody's asking for his birthday present. he could just say to Naho... "I only need one present, which is your love". WHICH I guess won't be like that since Kakeru is a shy person. LOLMascera said: And I believe that Kakeru is almost close to confessing to Naho. He already confessed this episode. |

| Approaching such a sensitive topic like a mother's death can go very, very wrong. But I really liked the way how Suwa handled it without being too forceful. It was very empathetic and shows Kakeru how much his friends care for him. I also admire how far Suwa is going for Kakeru and Naho while putting aside his own feelings. I mean, I don't know if I could ever do that but he makes it look so easy... which makes him one of the best bros ever. Right now, he's my favorite character in this series. Anyways, great episode in terms of pacing, acting, directing, and music. Looking forward to the next episode. |
SJ7izm said: Why are they celebrating Kakeru's 18th birthday 10 years into the future? I'm lost. Was that a typo or something? In the manga it was explained better so I get why people are confused. In the first timeline, they missed Kakeru's birthday (the 17th) therefore they promised that they will all celebrate together his brithday the year after. That's why they asked him what he wanted as presents. Unfortunately, Kakeru died before that so they never got to celebrate. So 10 years later they decided to finally fullfill the promise they made by celebrating Kakeru's 18th birthday together. |
| Every week I watch the episode thinking "Nah it can't be better than last week" and proves me wrong EVERYTIME. Loved it. Suwa easily my favorite character of the show. I'm sorry but if there's anyone who doesn't like Suwa after this episode there's something seriously wrong with you. Loved seeing Ueda getting rekt there. Hahaha. Serves you right xDD It's like I don't even need to watch the episode to know the episode is gonna be 10/10. Easily my favorite anime of this season. Can't wait for next week. |

Hmm I don't think it's a typo but remember they said they couldn't celebrate his bday cuz they didnt know about it? Maybe that's why they're celebrating the 18th birthday.. idk I could be wrong lol |

| The feels are strong in this one. Honestly, it hurts to see Suwa try so hard to push those two closer, knowing that in an alternate reality, he and Naho married and had a child together. The dude deserves an award. And that last scene...man, what a tearjerker. |
 |
| Give me one episode of Orange that doesn't make me cry my heart out is all I ask for. |
 |
| Suwa has to be the most reliable persone in the universe! I usually don"t really like " the good guy" type of characters as I find them boring, but he is an exeption! |
| Finally,I cried xD.The best episode so far. Suwa not only received his letter but he is the saint that sacrifices himself for his friends to be happy,even if he may know about his baby with Naho. Ueda is again one if not the biggest,most boring and stupid character in an anime,she is like Joffrey from GOT :ugly.stupid and not needed.I really hoped she would get slapped. The birthday moment was nice,with cheers and gifts. The episode's best scene was the confrontation scene with Suwa being the BRO....AGAIN....This character is just perfect,if he existed I would just have long talks and try to comfort him.I hope Naho's confession and Suwa backing Kakeru in that majestic yaoi/bromance scene(hoped it would be longer xD) will help him. |
| I also said that,I got paniked looking at the show as it passed ep 5 and I was alright |

Again, I know this isn't the case (as a viewer), but the characters in this story are time quantum physicists lol. It was already said in ep5, the original timeline can't be changed because of time paradox (if it changed which means kakeru would be alive, then the letter woundn't exist -> Kakeru would still died). The future can be only changed in parallel world. Future Naho knows she will never see Kakeru again she's not choosing a guy that died 10 years ago over her family. For all they know though the letters could have not worked like they have planned (Naho and Suwa failed at saving him in the past) so the letters still exist in the present. The point was though, these people are doing this on a basis of some loose theory that they truly don't know what could happen was my point. Like I said us as viewers know whats happening, but just because they can deduce the fact that there would be no letters in the first place if he was saved in their timeline and he would be alive therefore its an alternate timeline is shoddy logic at best to make a gamble on. Why not just leave it alone and try to move on with their lives, and then why does Naho have to force romantic undertones in the letter "to save him" when you can save someone and get closer to them without having to be romantically involved (i.e. Suwa helping Kakeru). It just doesn't make sense to me and it seems she was just trying to push a romantic sub-plot to be with Kakeru in an alternate timeline. Why can't she tell Naho to save him without having to be intimate and tell her that she is married to Suwa in the future and has a kid. I mean Suwa probably wrote that in his letter, so why didn't Naho write this unless she has an alterior motive to ship herself with Kakeru when it isn't even necessary to save him -_-. |

Dude this is the first time they send the letters,they have no memerory of them in the future because it did not happen,in the past Suwa did not act,now he does...the timeline they are going for is parallel already,notice the changes and the matches with the letters,they get less accurate by episode |
