| and the power of love finally prevails |
 |
| The first 3 episodes were great, I really enjoy it. This is gonna be my AOTS with slime if it keep the quality. |
| Thought it would be mainly about the two MCs but seems like it is similar to monogatari series. |
| The moment he remembered Mai, damn I totally feel it as well... |
 |
| Atmosphere huh. So that's what the Japanese call the NPC script. |
| Mega cringe confession and suddenly she's back in action. Huh? I still like the characters but I wish they could go a little bit lighter with the supernatural stuff. Oh, are we getting a new girl next week or what..? I'm confused now, I don't want them to do something where mc goes to save a bunch of cute girls from being invisible, I wish they would keep it focused on their relationship. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Wait, the problem got solved already!? I don't know how to feel about this. I was expecting this to continue till the end of the anime. It seems it's not gonna be only about the two main characters. Now I have to really change my outlook on this anime. |

| Wow, that confession was so intense, it's almost the best "confession scene in an anime" I've seen yet. |
| That was a good episode. I'm now interested how the story gonna develop with more characters to be added |
| This anime continues to go beyond what I expected. This is legit proof to never judge an anime by its title. |
| I love its ED and for some reason its really refreshing to watch this anime |
| Send me Friend requests!!!! |
| I'm telling in my mind that that's the ending of a short novel. you could say its a fitting end it felt that it was. beside the cringe that is. |

Stark700 said: I'd say that the amount of direct and emotional contact made him able to keep his memories for this long, also what brought them back.THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So it seems people don't remember Mai... The weird thing here is that Sakuta seems to be the only person who remembers her. Sounds really strange honestly. In the meantime, Sakuta hopes to make Mai more visible as a member of society. I think in general, this show/episode retains a mystique in regards to its social content while the character relationship between Sakuta/Mai is constantly developing. That was also a hell of a confession out there. |

| This might have already been covered, but I have a question: At any point does Mai know that sleeping will cause others to forget about her? She seems to understand with the way she talks to Sakuta right before he falls asleep. ("I've been alone before; I'll be alright" "Goodbye" tears, etc) Then she's upset with him the following day for forgetting her. Is she just messing with him during the confession scene on the field? Or something else? |

| I am glad that there is already episode 4 aired by now, because when I was watching the middle of this 3 episode I became sad that I would have to wait few days for when he remembers her. Happily he remembered her in same episode and this is first time in a while that I liked when anime story went very fast! ;] |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| This "romance" progressed way too fast IMO. I'm not invested in these bland characters so why would I care if they get together? Beneath all the pretentious "witty" banter and surreal nonsense story, it's basically just a checklist of anime highschool romcom cliches. |
 |
| Eh. It was one of the best episodes of the series so far, but I'm still a bit cynical about how Mai said "You promised not to forget!" even though she's the one who made him forget by making him sleep in the first place. And she knew she would be forgotten by making him sleep, so the only person she should blame is herself. But I guess this adds realism to her character. Real people tend to be hypocritical. Still irked me a bit though. Otherwise, a great episode. I didn't expect him to shout out in front of the school, what a smart move. Hopefully it doesn't go downhill from here with the other girls. |

Did she just figure it out on her own? |

That was hinted I think when she looked in the classroom during Sakuta's exam and saw him. |

I mean, I like that she knew; her talking to Sakuta as he finally fell asleep was one of the show's genuinely sweet moments (and a moment during which we got to see the "real" Mai since she wasn't teasing him or beating around the bush verbally). I guess the facade went back up the next day when she got upset with him for forgetting. It seemed awfully like a power play so she could get him to apologize for something she's really responsible for. Kind of a b**** move if so. |

| i still wonder what people that have no memory of mai see, when sakuta and her are interacting? What is physical impact doing on that perception from mai. There are some odd questions. |
| ough.. this "syndrome" shit is made overly complicated.. i still don't really understand it that much other than the whole atmosphere thing and that in order to remember mai, he had to override the memories people had on her or something like that. |
| well, I guess the anime is over now. Everything is resolved, there's no longer any reason to keep watching. and this was the lamest title drop in the history of mankind. I mean first of all, the title is fucking stupid, and second, what the fuck is a rascal even? why is it so weird for the word "rascal" to be thrown around like this? Anyway, this was as delightful as the last episode and also a rollercoaster of emotions, but... I guess we're doing a "girl of the week" format type of thing? I dunno if I'm excited for that. Not when an arc only lasts 3 episodes... we'll see. I would end this here and rate it a 7/10 cuz there is no reason to keep watching but I'm just not that kinda guy. |

| Tbh, dialogues and interactions felt rather realistic to me up to that point. But that conclusion with the shout out over the whole school ground blew everything out of proportion. Seems like the author wrote himself against a wall if that was the best thing he/she could come up with. |
| Intense and cool love declaration for close this arc!!! ;) |
| nice episode but that confession was super embarrassing to watch |
| And... that's it? I thought they'll go around this problem for much longer. Not sure if I'm interested in other Syndrome cases. |

If you expect this to be episodic or even an omnibus format, then I can tell you that this ain't it. There is an overarching story going on that certainly hasn't ended with Mai's problem being resolved. |

Yeah, I thought it'll have a separate stories format, but after watching 5th episode I am more reassured now. |

| That happy reunion ruined it. It just was way too early. But all in all a very good episode. |
| I’m glad he solved the problem (in an embarrassing way), I can say for sure that my boi is smooth! I’m really invested in these two. |
| Their chemistry continues to be fantastic tho. |
 |
| What a phenomenal episode, so heartbreaking, it(s only been three episodes, I just can't imagine how intense and hard this would get. I totally I'm all for the main ship, although it wouldn't hurt if we get to see more of the girl he met at the part that day. This whole atmosphere thing is still a bit confusing to me, like how did they still managed to remember her before even when they could get all the sleep they needed, and what assures them they aren't going to forget about her the day after? |
| Man, this little arc was really good. I felt so invested with this couple in just 3 episodes, I'm really surprise with this show, being honest. Personally, that confession felt really awkward but I guess that's the point I mean, if the point was to break this "atmosphere", what a better way to do it by doing something that everyone will remember even after graduation. I also like the fact that Sakuta remembered Mai in an unconsciously way. Since "consciousness" was the main reason of Mai's problem, Sakuta remembering her again didn't look like something "out of nowhere". I kinda wish this series ends here but that's not the case. I just hope the next arcs to be as good as this one. |

I haven't watched anime since darling in the franx in early summer, and then years before that point, this show is reminding me that every so often I'm missing out on something great. I really, really, really like this show so far. |
Eoussama said: This whole atmosphere thing is still a bit confusing to me, like how did they still managed to remember her before even when they could get all the sleep they needed, and what assures them they aren't going to forget about her the day after? Basically the atmosphere is synonymous to the social norm of a particular environment. It became the social norm within school and eventually the general public to slowly forget or outright ignore Mai's existence. It was a gradual thing as what became normal changed over time. Sakuta was someone to go along with what the social norm is but Mai is what sparked this desire to go against the flow. This coupled with his very personal connection to Mai made him hold out for so long. Kunimi & Futaba were able to hold out longer than the majority of people because they had a closer tie to Mai through Sakuta. As to why he managed to remember her? Well, you see the atmosphere tends to differ depending on the social environment. The atmosphere of the general public can differ compared to the atmosphere between two people very close to each other. This atmosphere between Sakuta & Mai pretty much fully manifested itself in that study session. Why? Because for the very first time both of them did self sacrificial deeds for each other. Both of them were willing to sacrifice their own well being for the other's safety. The box was opened, the cat was alive and it was determined what their bond actually was. This very personal tie that was built in that moment engraved itself into who Sakuta is because it's something surpassing his general consciousness. He's not merely aware of Mai through his consciousness but also through his emotions. |
| That confession gave me one of the biggest cases of second-hand embarrassment ever, but I'm glad it worked out in the end. The moment where Sakuta starts remembering Mai again was really heartwarming. So I'm guessing this show is split up into mini-arcs that deal with different girls and phenomenons each time? I'm down with that. |
 |
| Okay, Mai's "arc" is over, I hope it does not happen as in Monogatari, Senjougahara was as a supporting after his "arc". |
