| Yay! The first episode of Kimi ni Todoke's 2nd season has arrived! I really like how the art is still the same with the really big round faces and the very circle-but-no-fingers hand! That's one thing I like about this anime! This felt like an ordinary Kimi ni Todoke episode, things moving along slowly. Anyways, can't wait for the next episode! LOL when Kazehaya wet Pin's bed! xD |
| I actually really liked this episode. sure it was a little slow and frustrating, but I've also had days like that where I want to tell someone something, think aboout how I'll say it all day, and in the end I just can't bring myself to do it. /x Maybe I understand because I'm shy like Sawako? well not that shy o_o, but ohwell haha. Poor Kazehaya wanted that chocolate too! D: |
| very nice episode.. :) aww.. sawako can't give it, kazehaya became disappointed. i just love mamiko noto's voice when she's doing sawako.. adds to the feel.. :) KYAA~! the new guy's voiced by Mamoru Miyano! i wonder what role he'll play.. (yes, i do not read the manga.. :P) |
 |
| Okay, frustrations about the chocolates aside, did anyone else get a giggle out of Sawako being tickled by that blank faced girl sitting behind her then having the others join in? :P |
| SAWAKO NO BAAAAAAKAAAAAA good episode but if she just give him the damn choco will be much better. |
 |
| Is it me or was there a Episode 0 too ? anyways , LOVE THIS SERIES Sawako is Cute. |
| mmm People that I've ask about this series have all complained about it being slow paced.... so Ima say this... I like it this way, its more attention to detail. This is a perfect anime for me. Oh and thats what this episode was about too. I think Sawakos failure to give chocolates, sorta brings a twist to the relationship. Shouta figured out everyone got them except him, so hes probably a little cut... probably. Sawako realized she was hoping for more than just a thankyou gift. and Ume-chan appears to be thrilled over sabotaging sawakos plans and confidence. I shocked this is only 13 episode too, I would have expected more. After this episode, I can say ima looking forward to the rest of the series, seems another character may be added whos going to fall for Sawako ? guess we will see! ^_^ |
| Coming soon! |

| o.0 |
| So happy Kimi Ni Todoke is back ^_^. Unfortunately, is normal for the season to be 13 episodes long, because at that time in the manga you can draw a conclusion to the series. |
| gaaahhhh.. just give him dat chocolate already !! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ |
Papander said: Ok seriously now when the first season ended they were really close. They both had realized that they like each others. And now just because the SEATING ORDER is different they haven't talked or done anything together in like what ~4 months?? I recall it being autumn when the first season ended and now it was already valentines day in the anime. I just don't understand this kind of development at all. So yeah I was slightly disappointed by this episode. 7/10 The first season ended when Sawako and Kazehaya went to the temple on New Year's Eve for her birthday... so it's only been a month n' a half. xD |
 |
| Great introduction to the second season and great episode as usual. Almost flawless. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Aw I wish she gave him the chocolates. |
 |
| Kimi ni Tokode is back! So far I'm extremely pleased with the way they brought back the raw emotions and feel of the show. Natural and realistic is exactly what they did in the last season, and I can already tell it will be the same! (^.^) Kurumi is still an egotistical bastard with her implemented foresights. Sawako is still sweet as ever. However, Kazehaya has gotten a little too sour for my liking. That's just how life works, though. It's realistic to the point where I see the situation, and understand every aspect of it. I'm already in love with this anime. So let's start the fun, and have us a blast. Even with the 12 episodes we have left. Looking forward to the next! |
| SPARKLES AND BUBBLES ON MY SCREEN IN MY HEART IT'S FINALLY BACK |
| I had at least hoped for SOME progress lol, but it seems Sawako's still too shy. Too bad. It would've been really nice if she had given him her chocolates. Now he's the only one from her friends that didn't get any. XD |
Yumekichi11 said: Of course Pin/Kazehaya's part of where he wets his bed was funny as ever except I don't get as to why he got sick if he was wearing a raincoat? yeah.. that was funny.. haha... |
| This is a perfect example of an episode that just pisses me off. Don't get me wrong, I love this series, but this was a pretty bad way to start off the second season. Throughout the episode my mind was screaming, "DO SOMETHING!! ANYTHING!!" but nothing happened. I loved the first season, even though there we plenty of episodes like this one. The episodes like this were balanced out by very superbly done "plot-heavy" episodes. Looks like next week's is going to be "plot-heavy". I've always liked Kurumi. Seems like she's the only character who's developed the most. More episodes with her please! 2/5 |

| Ahhh I absolutely loved this episode. It definitely did a veeery good job at translating it from the manga. Actually, I found this a lot sadder, so in a way it felt like it was the first time for me to see these events occuring. It's funny and interesting to see so many people getting so frustrated or become not pleased by what had happened. I'm a little appalled at the idea that some thought it was useless thought o___o. Trust me guys, this is just the beginning of a loooong road of frustrations. But please don't let these frustrations deter you from watching this series!! I promise you all that it's worth it :D |
| Starting the season off with a Valentine's Day episode, I found it as though it's picking up just right where I left off last season. I'm really hoping for more Sawako and Kazehaya development, and the introduction of this new blond male might actually change things up again. It seems like this is starting up to be a great new season. |
 |
| Sawako's actions are usually understandable given how shy and sheltered she is. But the whole "worried about giving chocolates" was incredibly annoying and made me want to punch a baby. /sigh |
| A good, but also annoying episode. I HATE Kurumi sooo much. And then there's sawako being too shy again. It's kind of getting on my nerves. I hope things will develop in a good way, the pacing should be faster than last season since its only 13 eps. I really hope it lives up to my expectations.. |
| I had extremly mixed feelings about this episode, but over all I think it was a sweet start. First: Loving the new opening more and more, so soothing and colourful - visuals and song match up perfectly and the lyrics underline Kazehaya's emotions well. Second: I had a sweet tinglish feeling in my nose in the first seconds of the ep, seeing Sawako cooking - it had me feeling so nostalgic and happy at the same time, like coming back home from a long hard journey (as in lots of mediocre anime) in the arms of your loved one ( ´ ▽ ` ) Third: The struggles of Sawako giving Kazehaya the chocolate had me feel her desperation. In my teen years I was just about as shy, so I can somehow relate to her. I was rooting for her passionately. Lastly: I was let down in the end, since I thought Sawako progressed more and would be strong enough to do it in the end. I thought, like in the first season, Kurumi's selfishness would backfire on her, making Sawako even more determined. Poor Kazehaya. Also: What's up with Kurumi? I thought she evolved? I respect that she doesn't give up so easilly, but trying to mess with Sawako like this again is quite a step backward. It would have been more impressive if she urged Sawako to do something... Like saying: "Get your act together, or you're not a worthy rival!" So all in all, the episode was a sweet homecoming for me, but kind of like someone accidently hit the mental-REWIND button for some characters o_O; |

| I personally thought the episode was ok. I really thought Sawako and Kazehaya were closer since the last episode of last season though.... but of course Sawako is a social noob XD.

I don't think Kurumi's trying to mess with her now was as bad as in the first season. I thought she was joking with her at first but it was really hard to tell. I really agree with your "Get your act together, or you're not a worthy rival!", that would have made Kurumi look so much mature? |
 |
| All through this episode I just wanted to scream "FOR GOD'S SAKE WOMAN JUST GIVE HIM THE CHOCOLATES". So annoying. This is why I didn't really like the first season that much, I was hoping at least ANYTHING would have changed. Apparently not. Will keep on watching though. Also, new guy is cute. Looks like Suoh Tamaki and ironically enough is voiced by the same seiyuu :P |
desolatoJan 14, 2011 11:19 AM
| The best thing is the new guy because when I looked at the preview for the next episode, I think he'll add nice drama. Let's hope for him to be the reason of progress in Kazehaya and Sawako's relationship. |
 |
| Ah the anime that has taken me into a different perspective of romance has returned. OP is just fantastic as it was in the first season and the ED doesn't disappoint either. Wow, we start off just right off the bat on Valentine's day. Definitely not surprised by the awkwardness which is Sawako's trademark but it's certainly refreshing from what I'm totally used to. The latter half of the episode definitely tried to bring out the patience with me but I suppose I haven't gotten used to the flow of the story yet. Disappointed with the failure to deliver the chocolate but at the same time relieved in my mind that it's going into a different direction and just goes to show how difficult these tiny choices are. The new possible love interest has certainly piqued my interest so I look forward to the scenes and interactions he'll cause. Overall, a nice episode back into a romance anime with the unique calming charm that I love ;D |
| Excellent return to an excellent series. So happy there's a new guy added to the mix. + He's voiced by Kida from Durarara! |
 |
| Loved it !! Nice way of starting anime. Sawako used a whole day and it failed in the end becuz of thinking to much.... sad, just sad. |
     |
| AH, I loved it! I was so rooting for Sawako to just give him the darn chocolates. Stupid Kurumi. I don't think I'll like the rival figure much... Why is this season only 13 episodes?! D: |
 |
| GAH! How frustrating! She didn't manage to give him the choco! |

I really agree with your "Get your act together, or you're not a worthy rival!", that would have made Kurumi look so much mature? I dunno. While I understand the sentiment, I would have been disappointed in her if she'd approached it that way. Sincere and stolid aren't part of her personality. That would make her seem like an old woman lecturing Sawako. She would abhor that. And for what it's worth, Sawako had the whole day in which to give the chocolates to Kazehaya. Kurumi could only be blamed for one moment. And I find it hard to do that either. I mean, she wanted to give Kazehaya chocolates herself. She knows that Sawako is going to make them by hand and she knows how Kazehaya feels about Sawako. So, if she's gonna give him some chocolates, why would she want Sawako to give her own two minutes later. I'll have to watch it again but I also think Kazehaya could have given her more opportunity. Instead, he was corralled by his friends and dragged off by Pin. I kept expecting Yano to say something to Sawako but…. Anyway, Sawako is mostly to blame. Hopefully she'll get better at it. So one episode of frustration. :) At least she has something to munch on when she gets home. |
| She couldnt give him the chocolates, Thinking too much made her so nervous. poor Kazehaya, he was really hoping to get some. |
 |
| What a depressing first episode. Hopefully in the second episode she finds a way to make it up to him, or explain what happened. Also, excited to watch this again. Feels like forever since the first season ended. |
 |
| I was almost afraid she was going to give him the chocolate, and I'm happy she didn't. Their relationship shouldn't dare move any faster than it should or it would otherwise be unrealistic. Also, was it just me or did I hear Miyano Mamoru? I hope he's a frequent character. |

GarLogan78 said: This anime will probably end at the festival (ch 40), right? so it seems like i'm not the only one thinking it'll end there but if does then it'll make everyone happy :P but man only 13 episodes.... Dx overall this episode was good to start off the first episode |
     |
| I hate Kurumi. Kazehaya and Sawako are always thinking the same thing but neither of them have the guts to say what they are thinking! Now Kazehaya is depressed because he thinks Sawako didnt make him chocolates when she did!!!! This is frustrating. |
    |
| Only 13 episodes? :< |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I dont know if this is been said yet but IF you listen closely the "obligation chocolate" was said as "giri choco" while the "sweet heart chocolate" was said as "Honmei choco" In Japan giri choco is chocolate given to men from women, it is a relatively cheap type of chocolate women give to male co-workers, casual acquaintances, and others to whom they have no strong attachment. That was the chocolate Kazehaya was accepting. He rejected all the Honmei choco which is chocolate girls give to guys who they have romantic feelings for. it's usually higher quality or home made and when a girl gives it to a guy shes practically saying "I like you!". aka its equivalent to a confession. Sawako was convincing herself that her chocolate was giri choco (obligatory) and that it didn't mean anything special. it was for thanks. But when Kurumi said what she said it hit Sawako. It was practically honmei choco though i doubt Kazehaya would have realized. So I think her debating with herself is fine because Confessing though she didn't realize she was is hard!!! In the end her not giving it because of what Kurumi said (though that did piss me off) I understand because I think Sawakos a really nice/pure character and she hates lying and always tries to fix misunderstandings. So when she realized that she was lying to herself she was upset at herself and couldn't give them to Kazehaya anymore. I actually really liked this ep though even though i was a little frustrated. I understand her reasons and now cant wait for the next ep!!! I love this show~ Sorry for the long rant people... |

| I was pretty okay with her inability to make a decision through S1, but this episode portrayed her in HEAVENLY BREAKTHROUGH HERP DERP mode. Shouldn't she know by now that Kurumi is a liar? Shit son. Also, wtf Takuto. gtfo my fuzzy story. We don't need any more confusion for our borderline retarded protagonists. You'd think I hate this show, but really I wuvs it. |
| I nearly pulled my hair out when she didn't give him the chocolates. But oh well, still a very good episode. |
