There were so many feels in this episode! ;_; (Utaha's feelings even overshadowed her godly fanservice this time, imo.)
I like how everyone talks in such a way that applies to both the game and the show itself. Utaha just admitted that her characters are based on herself. She's very self conscious, actually.
Her chemistry with Tomoya was great, but looks like her work ended and she acknowledged that Tomoya and Megumi is the pairing. (Wow, Megumi with the long ponytail down looks impressive!) Eriri took her drawing seriously, but both her and Utaha looked like they had mixed feelings in the last scene. :( It'd be sad if any of the girls lost, so I like Tomoya's idea about a happy ending for everyone (either harem or friendzone all, like other people already suggested), but Megumi looks like the most likely winner right now.

While the development is decent, the pacing is still really horrible! But well let's see what's next.

Look at those boobs.


Still Katou with her hair. Instant boner.

This is really a damn good, amazing episode. I love the parallel stories. Utaha for the win. Or harem ending!

BEST EPISODE OF THE SERIES!

Bah, I fucking hate that he made Utaha-senpai cries! ftw was wrong with him....
I just want to protect Utaha :(

Kinda hate megumi long haircut though. I like her short hair...

Food for thought...

I'm speechless

Megumi may have won the fight, but Utaha won my heart.

If there's one thing this anime does well, it's its fanservice. Especially with Utaha, sexy as fuck waifu, lol

Another Utaha focused episode, she's surely gotten a lot of screentime so far. But we might not see her as much again if her work on the game is really done.

What a nice episode, Kato with hair down is so moe, can't wait for her longer haired version. Though, Utaha looked really good this episode, with all that fanservice and stuff, I like her smile near the end.

BUT KATOU MEGUMI ALWAYS STEAL THE SHOW

Katou is such a beautiful and majestic being...

True, Katou did stole it at the end, but I absolutly adored Utaha this episode, she has to be my favorite among the 3, but they are all very likeable in their own ways.

It seems with this, they finished adapting LN vol5.

This is one of the best episodes of this series I have ever seen. This is Kasumigaoka Utaha at her A-game. I like her a lot better this way. She's cute, she's adorable, she's sensitive, she's a lot less mature than she always is, revealing that side of her that's just a girl in love.

I honestly can't take it when girls cry. It feels like such a stab in the heart that I don't know what to do and end up getting emotional myself or, depending on the situation, get angry at whoever or whatever caused that sadness. It felt like like, a stab in the heart, when Utaha-senpai started crying at the maid cafe and when she started crying in the bath.

To be honest, I don't fully understand this episode. Did Tomoya really not get her message, or did he subconsciously blind himself to it? He didn't reject her, true. But still, it looks very much like that he doesn't even consider her an option. He only sees her as a friend and someone he admires. Their relationship is so sweet and heartwarming, but it's bitter too for Utaha-senpai. I kinda wish he had returned her feelings here, even though I'm originally a fan of Megumi.

Was not expecting this show to make me feel so sad and emotional. I initially thought this show was just harem comedy, but it seems this second season is kicking it up not just by a notch. I really really really enjoyed that.

Megumi at the end was wonderful. She looked so angelic in that lighting and how she managed to act in character was also nice.

Again, I still don't understand fully what happened here with Utaha-senpai. Is there like some explanation thread somewhere? It doesn't feel like her "ship" has really, truly sunk. But this episode has finally convinced me that Utaha is a definite contender for best girl. I have never loved her as much as this episode, she's nearly or already on par with Megumi!

Love her. Love this episode.

Megumi realised what Utaha wanted to convey with that scenario but was too late to notify Aki as he was already getting beat up by Utaha at that point XDXD!!

Also, Aki made Utaha cry!! WTF Aki when will you understand her feelings??

And as always, Megumi steals the show!! <3

And forgive me for this but I can't help but compare Eriri with a specific character. They both look so similar!!

The ship sunk. She suffers. Probably will try to get along till the happy alltogether ending. Aki is still in his own mind and aware of nothing, but his feelings are still an answer for everyone.

There's only one Aki, there are just a few months left before graduation.

The saddest thing about these animes is that highschool ends. IT ENDS each time I dive back in it, god damn.

Great episode and by leaps and bounds the best episode of the show so far. The parallels between the game scenarios and Utaha's feelings about herself and for Tomoya were clear and obvious, but still smartly done and the whole thing felt just so bittersweet in the end. Megumi choosing to dance with Aki with her hair down, imitating Ruri and Sayuka after figuring out Utaha's feelings through reading the scenarios and her books, was also just another bittersweet and quite touching scene there. Solid directing too for it with some nice lighting to complement the atmosphere, and generally great voice acting throughout.

Going to be interesting to see how Tomoya can write that 3rd route with such an optimistic look compared to the previous 2 routes, especially given the time crunch they are already on. Poor Utaha too for not getting the answer she was hoping for in her heart given her feelings for him for such a long time, but at least nothing's written off for her just yet (there's still time for feelings to easily change), even though now it's all on Tomoya writing his own scenario and the others for finishing the game off when they can.

Even though this episode was focused on the best senpai Utaha, Kato really stole the spotlight there at the end by dancing with Tomoya.

Utaha senpai is really going at Tomoya that was frightening, Oh god I don't ever want to see Utaha crying and her past flashbacks connects the present that almost made me tear up Tomoya's reaction is what I would have reacted too

But I'm glad Utaha senpai is talking it out with Tomoya in his room this is quite a new experience, Damn it she's so hot in that unfinished dress of hers

Megumi makes an appearance or Ruri as she portrays her character a bit impactful like in the game, Eriri seems pissed this episode that sketch of hers is pretty neat.

This episode is really not for the squeamish Utaha fans. I feel sorry but well it's very obvious from the start that Megumi will win lol.

He is definitely Mr. Ethical. Utaha half naked in my bed room, I don't think I'll be able to resist my urges. hehe I guess that's the reason why these girls like him so much, he's such a decent guy just chasing for his dream.

Tomoya really insists on a harem route. I can sympathize. It's definitely difficult to choose from the 3 of them.

Megumi was so damn pretty in that last scene.

Utaha and Tomoyas ship sinks. Sad times. Please go for the harem route. I usually don't agree with this route but in this anime, it feels right.

Just the fourth episode and Utaha ship has practically sunk deep down in the ocean. Though it isn't like we've got an outright rejection or anything, just that Tomoya evading to choose either one of Meguri or Ruri route or more like Ruri route had the aforementioned confirmed.

Megumi was at the pinnacle since the start, but those last few minutes with her dancing with Tomoya and meanwhile nailing the character of Ruri just reconfirmed her status as the main girl. Felt for Utaha but that's just how it was going to happen from the beginning.

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 ;)
