| Damn Suwa - nice sixpack. Still Kakeru and Naho are pathetic. |

| i cant help but laugh at those derp faces, lol i didnt notice until the end of the episode, but when i looked back, omg i find really annoying that Naho denied Kakeru, while getting him in a worst state (at least I looked it that way) |

This is so true.^^ The major drop in animation this episode was so prominent. It can't just be me who thought Azu resembles a monkey in that shot. It was so distracting. However, even with this lowered quality and awkward cliffie the episode really felt like it was dragged out. My two highlights this episode were the holding hands scene and Hagita's fake abs. |
 Lost in Translation |
| Seriously the art this episode was quite ludicrously atrocious. I would've accepted it if it were a few scenes, but when it was literally 85% of the entire episode.... there's some serious issues with the art department as a whole. The story is getting a bit convoluted here. Kakeru acting all nonchalant, whilst feeling so tortured inside because he keeps denying his own right to be happy. If anything I feel like Naho's making more of an attempt to step out of her shell to express her feelings. Despite that moment she got startled by him getting too close, she still stuck out her hand immediately after for him to hold. Hope the art improves though, because this episode was a disappointment. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Usually I am not one to complain about or even notice bad animation, but this episode really looked atrocious. What happened, did they run out of budget? Story-wise it was also pretty disappointing. Nothing happened and it wasn't even funny. This show has been dropping in quality lately. I hope it picks up again. |
| The anime has always had those derpy faces animations but it was much more noticeable in this one, oh well at least they continue to deliver some really well drawn stills in between. I like that Suwa is trying to raise some jealousy in Kakeru.  |
| In the manga, Naho explains in the narration that she's scared of dating Kakeru because that will make their present deviate too much from what the letter says, and that might end up rendering the letter useless. She's scared that if she can't follow the letter anymore, they won't be able to save him. When I read that chapter I completely understood her reasons, but as with pretty much everything else she has done so far, in the anime she just comes off as too dense and too much of a coward. I decided to reread the manga and now that I have it all fresh in my memory I think there's something really wrong with this adaptation. I can't really put my finger on it, they've been adapting stuff almost word by word for most of the episodes but still, it feels like there's something that made the manga enjoyable that's missing. One thing i noticed is that Naho and Kakeru have much more personality in the manga. She's definitely a lot less dislikeable, and each time they manage to make Kakeru happy , I feel really happy for him, whereas in the anime I can't really feel any sort of empathy for him. Also the animation sucked so bad, oh my god |
Raheb-kun said: The animation was amazing. quite outstanding, really |
| really enjoyed the episode, very adorable. but the bitter-sweet stung a bit. but very cute <3 hahaha, that birthday letter c: Suwa 0_0 Kakeru either showing fear in leaving her, or determination in suicide. I truly think their relationship with be an abusive one. at-least without their 4 friends. |

I can't stop laughing looking at this. |
Neromon said: This and the last episode have started to ruin the show for me, why the hell did Naho and Kakeru's relationship return to being static after the mutual confession in episode 7? This episode was boring and inconsequential, this show is stretching its plot too much. The visuals are also deteriorating, characters appear off-model, along with extremely limited animation. This ep was disappointing in terms of art and character. Kakeru and Naho acting too emo for their own good. What a good show it would have been if the story put NahoxKakeru in background after ep7 and focuses more on the group-of-four interesting characters. The comedy and light-moments were nice. They would even mock Hagita's parents.....LOL |
| Suwa stopped Kakeru from thinking about his mother by making him jealous... Hmmmm... I don't know if that was a good idea or not but I'm really mad that Naho didn't tell Kakeru that she wanted to go out with him. It's not going to cure his depression but if both of them like each other and will be happier together then why is that so hard to comprehend? And Kakeru telling Suwa that it wouldn't be a good idea because he might not always be there was just another hint toward his suicidal thoughts. |

I like that Suwa is trying to raise some jealousy in Kakeru. Yeah, despite the bad quality of some scenes, this one was done nicely and my favorite! |
| Naho being annoying as ever and really derp quality. It was all over the place, to the point of taking my focus from this episode. Some one please kill this Hagita with fire!  |
 |
| Yeah this episod was very strange.. |
| so a sports' festival episode and what was up with the animation? like seriously |
 |
| There were times when I couldn't tell that someone speaking was one of the main characters because they were drawn in a background character style...lacking in detail and quality. Close-ups of their faces were usually pretty decent, but otherwise they just seemed really off. |
 |
on 
| My only question is the Cartoonlooking of a animation for this episode xD still kinda funny, Great episode,(finally another season of waiting..) cant wait for what next week is going to happen, all i want tho i my kiss in this anime! i better have my kiss of hell will break lose! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Now i know why Kakeru killed himself xD With Naho's attitudes it's pretty normal xD Suwa is the MVP! I ship Azu x Hagita. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The umbrella scene felt lackluster. I enjoyed that scene in the manga, but not much here. Maybe it was the overall presentation (art and sound direction), I don’t know. The cartoony parts were neat though. I’m glad they didn’t cut that Hagita scene with the markers during the sports’ festival because that scene was funny…. I felt that ending of the episode came out a bit abrupt though. In other news, production values aren’t getting any better. I wish those funding and in charge of this project had put more effort-care into making this particular anime, but it is what it is, I guess. CommanderAna said: Agree. I believe it has something to do with the overall direction of the show (like the handling of some scenes, among other things). It just doesn’t feel right, or as good as I was expecting. |

| Im not really liking where the shows going... it feels like they are all giving up there future just to save kakeru... i mean i know suwa and naho dont know about there future together and what "hinted" to be suwa and nahos baby but shouldnt naho know this completely changes her life? and she hasnt even thought about it, and unlike the first few episodes it feels like they are all revolving around kakeru making sure his feelings dont get hurt so he doesnt neck himself, idk i liked the first few eps but its starting to feel like they are all more worried about him just being alive other than actually building a relationship with him unlike there future selves did... i mean they are building a relationship but its almost like its a fake one? idk thats just how i feel, this ep was a 3/5 for me, i didnt really notice the lack in animation tbh but it did feel like a filler. |
 |
| The only thing I pretty much liked was Hagita about this episode. He's such a funny character. Other than that Kakeru seemed really emotionally unstable which I can understand because the poor guy lost his mom to suicide. She wanted to die. It's not something you can get over so easily. Even with friends around there are feelings that can consume you. I just never know what he's going to do. Wasn't really feeling this episode. Meh. When it ended it I was like "whaaaat that's it?" Hope next week is better. |

:') Totally agree that the art is going downhill! Makes me sad because half the reason I loved Orange was because of the beautiful animation. |
| Best episode by far. Had a lot of fun with it. |
 |
| No wonder Kakeru commited suicide. He couldn't stand such amount of quality. |
 |
dat Takako face in the bottom right corner is like "u mad bro??" lol a lot of quality dropping in this episode... even worst from the previous episode... Naho is really dense... denser than Paladin Dense... *facepalm* need to finish this anime quick so I can watch the live action... |
 |
Only Azu's sister didn't changed appearance lol  |
 |
| This shall be know as the QUALITY episode. I must admit I was laughing 30% of the time XD |
| This episode made me want to cry. And not because of the feels - the art was atrocious (except at that one scene with the rain and the hand-holding) If a picture is worth a thousand words, here's my thousand-word rant: And Suwa gets his own special rant cause I really like his character and this episode just butchered him. Story-wise, it was okay. It's not exactly picking up but at least we learn that Naho has decided to read the letters again. |
 |
| Holy shit that was hard to watch |
Dat animation xDD |
 |
| Decent ep although weaker than the last few. Animation quality seems to have dropped, the eyes of some bg characters made me lol xD Also Kakeru kinda reminded me of L here  |
 |
| I've noticed quality drop since the second episode. Not a big surprise to me. It's just that it's so obvious this episode. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
My personal favourite from this episode |
 |
| The last two episodes with the way Kakeru and especially Naho act is driving me insane. After she smashed the umbrella away from coming in close contact it pretty much goes- Kakeru:do you want to go out? Naho: No things are fine like this 30 seconds later in her head Naho: I would like to go out with Kakeru FFS, your making me want to rip my hair out. Between this "romance" , the tiniest bit of contact making her freak out, and just being so clueless I mean she practically has an effing cheat sheet! Why are they purposely ruining a storyline that has the potential to be extremely good? |

Mascera said: Great, now I can't decide who's better: Hagita or Suwa xDI laugh too after seeing Hagita's parent. Well he also funny in this episode, with that six-pack drawing. LOL |
| No seriously. |
| You know, I really try to like this anime, because it gives off this nice vibe and I can see that a lot of love went into making this and the characters are such nice people that it should give me a fuzzy feeling inside, yet I feel nothing. How on earth do you have two characters, who already told each other that they love one another and then have them do everything they can to make sure they never ever get together? This makes no sense! I have stopped criticizing Naho, cause I don't pick on retards, but now Kakeru is heading into the same direction. There is no reason whatsoever for me to root for them anymore. They have succeeded already, they love each other and they know it. And now they don't want to be together for...what reason exactly? What is the point of this anime anymore? Fuck this shit, they don't deserve to be happy. |
 |
| The quality of art and animation was dropping last few episodes but in this episode it was extreme. It was so bad, it totally distracted me and i couldn't get into the mood because i just kept laughing at derps:/ |
| SHES LEARNING, and it's so awkward. Shes still having a crap ton of trouble, but she is getting better, but now Kakaeru is starting to run into some problems. And, like many others, I couldn't help but notice the massive drop in quality during certain scenes. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Honestly seeing Kakeru the way he is makes me so sad. I can relate to him very well. The constant mood swings, the feeling of being a burden, the unsettling wonder of how your life is/is not going to turn out are very true things in depression. It's also probably one of the reasons why his and Naho's relationship isn't progressing so well. But Naho's denseness is also a factor in that. |
| a series of messages sent to my friend: nooooooooooooooooo its so awkward when she says good morning to him the 2nd time XD lool just went thru series of emotions she was gonna give umbrella to him then leave i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO then he was like i want to share with u and i was like YEEEEEEEEEEEEES wait did she hit the umbrella out of his hand or did it fall ?? loooool hagita's parents XDDDDDD Wing what its over didnt see the endign coming |
