That was kinda cute I guess, at least for some outdoor activities. This show feels a bit more refreshing this week.

Oh and gotta take a picture to treasure for memory.

When I saw they were going to a ravine I instantly thought of Clayton Ravine from Back to the Future III. :D Anywho it was only a matter of time but Yui replaced Kaori in the "romantic situation" with Sou this week...if Sou falls for her saving Kaori will be a hollow victory, but I wouldn't be shocked if that happened. But then Kaori still did get an injury that might play into her being killed regardless...the past is obdurate afterall...

Both Kaori and Sou reminice about the time they spent at the same river when they were little. Yui was able to get back Kaori's shoe. She's also looking a little sad there when she see's Yui smiling at Sou.

Good for foreshadowing and some back story stuff, but otherwise this episode was completely and utterly pointless. And this is from someone who has actually liked this show so far.

Nothing truly happen but lots of foreshadowing. Well nice of seeing Yui smile, I guess. I hope they don't keep us waiting for too long since it seems Yui has all the answers that I seek.

A "meh" episode overall with only a few things worthwhile.

I was watching the episode throughout expecting Kaori to die (as I haven't played the visual novel, I expected her to die more times in the series after episode 1), especially after she fell after she saw the snake look towards her.
Oh well, the preview for the next episode is giving me some hope for a possible Kaori death >:) .

Quite a different ED animation than what they had used before: is that SHAFT? Replacing most of the things (i.e. trees, bridges, high school, apartments, trains) with actual words in black in a white and black setting is pretty clever. It's worth writing home about.

To the people who are saying most of the episode was pointless, I'd share some of the [u]sentiment[/u] if it were an original anime. But since I haven't played the visual novel, there's context I'm missing to make a cohesive judgement on that matter. That scenario (with much better art of course) would probably have played (heh) better in the VN.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm guessing that this is a poor adaptation, especially the art of the characters, and that if I had played the VN, I would feel even worse about this.
I don't consider myself a good judge.

Flowing water, even at ankle depth, can kill you. People always underestimate the power it has. Most Japanese, since they live near mountain streams or the ocean know better than to tempt it.

Or not, most of the complaints I have read have very little to do with the VN and more to do with the viewers inability to understand that is going on (its more than just time travel).

The "Coming of the Quantum Cats" indeed.

Increasingly I'm curious to know who is Yui
And as for the episode only say poor Kaori, the protagonist was more interested in the camera than in anything in this episode
I'm liking the anime, pity to be with such a low note ..

Not a bad episode. Kaori thinks she has competition now lol. Anyone else notice the "I feel like photos cement the passage of time" comment from Yui? Other thing was when Yui held Kaori back when the bus was coming around the corner. She died by falling in the first episode before the rewind but it's not surprising seeing as Yui likely knows that something will happen to Kaori so she's overly cautious.

There was one other thing that caught my eye, can't remember what though but little hints here and there. If the quality was a bit better, it would be even more amazing but it's been good so far. Other point is that Kaori was mentioning her feelings to Sou yet he's still pretty oblivious so death flags though we're on day 9 so not for a while?

This was nice episode, my favorite so far. The animation didn't look bad, we got some backstory, and overall, i thought this ep was really refreshing, Kenny's english wasn't necessary here xD.


But then again, the pacing was just fine, but we need some actual plot progression, next week is ep. 5 already, and so far there was a bit of set-up, some foreshadowing, but low to none progresion, they need to pick it up imo.


Anyways, i wanna give this a 5/5, Yui best girl ;)

They are really bad with explaining things.
They should speed up the passing

Also, was the girl bitten by a snake? No poison (not all of them have, i think, but still)?

It's so rare in anime to see MCs group agreed to ditch the class/school together and went to have fun. That is what you call the friendship!

Oh, yeah this show opening is one of the best OP of this season. Both music and the meaning.

Pretty relaxing episode but what stands out is Yui's increasing concern for Kaori and the fact that something could happen to her.
Suggesting she knows about the accident that hasn't happened yet.
I guess the theory is that she might be from the future but i guess we will have to wait and see.

Jennifer is a ice skater this time ( I wonder about next week )

The ED changed. Awesome!!!

Doesn't the accident occur after the school festival?

Can anyone translate the title for episode 6?

Reminiscing of the past. They cut class just for that? They could have just waited for the weekend or so. Not really much to say. What is much, is that Sou is taking a lot of pictures.

4/5

Episode bad, the story at a faster rate in SOL style, while the drawings and animations are of a decent, better than the last episode.
I was not bored during the narration, but I hope something new will come soon ahead.

Ain't no damn way Kaori was even close to reaching for that bear when they showed Sou grab her.

Sou getting behind girls in the past and present this episode.
