| Man, it couldnt pass more than 10 seconds to get a crapy shot of the anime. Animaion quality was horrorific, such a shame for the original manga |
| Relay race message to kakeru ahhhhh ehhhhh 😭😭 That kiss omg. |
| I really don't see how the manga is so well-respected. This anime started of pretty good, but now it's really hanging on to decent at best. Though, the last three episodes could make or break the series for me. The relay race was somewhat enjoyable and the "kiss" scene was a little laughable. |

SJ7izm said: blase7 said: Is it just me or whenever they pass the baton and send a message, it's corny that I die laughing. Nope...definitely not just you. I cringed more than I laughed, though. I did get a chuckle out of how off the logic behind this race was. That aside, during Hagita's part I started playing this in my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vVViQ87Lgs I'm in track and do a 4x4 relay, so I barely even have the energy to hand the baton. But lmao good to know |
| This episode was really great! I was so proud of everyone during the race, and especially of Hagita as he really gave his best :) As of kiss, animation could've been better... Felt bad for Suwa, but he's such a great friend regardless. |
| Those cheerleader outfits were so cute xD Still waiting for Hagita x Azu :D |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Man the ankle drama was a bit... Like I always thought Orange was more suited to be a manga. I even said it in the manga forums that I would be satisfied if it never got adapted. It can get a bit awkward. I think the studio is doing pretty well, but something feels lacking. Nonetheless, the voice-acting is great esp. in the first half of the series (when it was more SoL than drama and the pacing was more balanced) You know if I was in Kakeru's feet... I'd probably be a bit creeped out with how everyone just knows the right thing at the right time. I mean, I would really appreciate, but honestly it's a bit uncomfortable. I would probably worse about myself for worrying others, AND bothered because they just know the right thing at the right time. Then again, this stuff is hard to deal with. Something really does feel off tho. And honestly I enjoy Suwa x Kakeru more than Naho ships. Idk Kakeru strikes more of bromance type. Anzu x Hagita best ship. The most enjoyable interactions for sure. After that, I like it when the 6 of them in group form (just doing SoL stuff. not this heavy drama thing) After that Suwa x Kakeru or Suwa x Naho. Takako is cool! She managed to stay in the 2nd position! And yea the messages fell really corny here than in the manga... Wth was that kiss. I thought he bit her ear lmao The camera angle was horrible. It's the highlight of this episode, like come on. Not that I care about this pairing to begin with. Anyway, whatever the hell that was, forehead kisses > cheek kisses. Felt the end to be abrupt tho. This is starting to feel rushed. Better than previous episode but rushed. |

| As everyone else said, gosh, the animation was pretty bad, the kiss scene was SO UNDERWHELMING, but overall, great ep with some nice development. |
This and OPs picture were hilarious. I know this isn't a comedy, but stuff like that lightens up the mood a little. After all my anger at Naho/Kakeru over the last episodes, they did a lot better this time. Also, the beta couple is growing strong. Btw, this anime makes me wanna support Suwa/Kakeru. |
 |
| God I love these wonderful characters. Freaking great in every sense of the word. Their personalities, their jokes, their expressions, their faces, everything is great. God that race was tense, I was just hoping nobody would fall the whole time, and that everything would work out okay, especially with all the slow-mo and stuff. I'm so happy right now god dang it. And that quick little peck at the end for a kiss. What a wonderful episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |

It seems like you cry in every romance/drama anime that you watch:(They butchered that kiss scene :.( he didn't even touch her cheek...... WHAT THE HELL.......Anyway Hagita x Azu needs to be a thing. They would be the best couple in the series. I think this was one of the first episodes I didn't tear up. The mom scene towards the end almost got me though. The skirt scene was on point. SHORT!!!!! I don't know lol sappy and sad stuff get to me. I blame my mood swing disorder but I think I just get invested into the characters so then I feel for them. I also get overly hyped when watching great action anime. I'm a pretty happy easy going person but yea sad stuff gets to me. |

| I feel so sorry for Suwa, he loves Naho too but everyone's ignoring him. Then again, they're trying to prevent Kakeru from killing himself so yeah. I still believe Kakeru has been suffering from depression even long before his mother committed suicide, I think her suicide just worsened it. It was an okay episode, they were able to convey their feelings but I hate sports day themed episodes in Anime. It's like one of those obligatory beach episodes. |
| 臭い- |
| Hagita was the best in this episode xD I can't get enough of this guy jeez. Make some spin-off series for him, please! Cheesy episode, but nevertheless - I really liked it. It had all that silly shoujo-stuff I love, not counting maybe that anti-climatic kiss at the end. That was barely a kiss anyway lol. Heartbroken Suwa at the end ;_; Face of the episode:  |
  |
| This episode improve a little from before. The relay seems funny. The kiss? It's like a sniff as a viewer perspective. But Suwa, you almost burst into tears at the end, man. He should deserves better. He has sacrificed a lot for them to be together. |
 |
| The future is significantly changing? really?? I think not. 4/5. |
 |
| What kind of kiss lmao |
| Friends like that are hard to find, they do all they can to make Kakeru happy... |
 |
| This episode was filled with the weirdest scenes: Passing on a message like that could never work in a race, that kiss??? if you can call it that, but at least we'll always have that screenshot of Naho looking like a One Piece character. |
 |
| I thought Kakeru would fall lol, but he didn't and the future changed a bit. And that last scene, thought he kissed Naho's hairs. Anyway, Suwa is the best character! |
| Didn't expect the entire episode to be the festival ... not as good as the other ones, IMO it dragged on a bit too long with the relay and everything but I'm glad the future is changing and that Kakeru finally opened up to everyone. Man, Suwa is a real bro ... Kakeru, you don't even deserve him ;P I'm sure what his grandma said about his mom waiting for him to smile when he was in elementary school helped him feel better about having fun as well. Too bad the art ruined that kiss scene at the end >_< Ah well, hope the next couple episodes leave us with a strong ending! |
| A real heartwarming episode, especially that ending! Really loving the atmosphere and character development! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Great episode and Naho''s face was priceless :D |

| Lol the woman in me screamed a lot of "YES!" during this episode. I have a weakness for this kind of episode (friendship and romance). Anyway I'm really glad about how this all turns out. However.. I love Suwa so much. I feel freakin bad for him, lol. Best guy. Lots of respect for him~! |

| Haha I love the humor in this anime "I asked my dad to take lots of pics and I'll give you one of Azu" :P Also, what kind of kiss was that? I thought he gave her like a hug or something.. Plus wasn't the deal that she'd give him a kiss? What about Azu and Hagita? They should be dating by now!! I need answers |
 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| Did I just watch an episode of Stride? |
 |
| Kakeru's game weak AF. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| This was a decent episode, nice to see them win! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It was an average episode but I like competitioms and the team spirit so it was fun to watch. Suwa is so protective of his friends, and it is really a big deal how he protects Kakeru despite his own feelings towards Naho. Definitely my favorite character of the series. |
   |
| Uh. Excuse me. I need Hagita to get his reward too ty. Lol. Suwa <3333 I just want to hug him >////< |
| Looks like most of the animation budget went to the cgi flag xD They're finally getting on some real progress towards saving Kakeru~ That race was a rollercoaster but they ended up getting first place and passing on the message to live! I have ta agree with the others here that their kiss was very underwhelming tho... |

Dewy said: I loved this show at first, i was going to probably end up giving it a 9, but every since like the episode where they all told eachother about having the notes its gone downhill, it seems like now they arent even trying to be his friend, they are just trying to get him not to neck himself, i guess its understandable but its just weird idk and its really stupid how overly depressed this guy is about the smallest things, its whatever tho i can already see how the shows gonna end but ill probably still give it a 7-8 edit: this ep also had way more cringe than usual, almost couldnt handle it. Literally same. Watching this show seems more like a chore to me now than anything else. I just want to get it over with. |
| I absolutely loved the symbolism here with the mattress and the relay race. He doesn't have to bear all his burdens all by himself and he always can rely on his friends during hard times. Also, that kiss :) |

| The last episode was my least favorite so far. So I'm glad this one was better. The moment between all of them we beuatiful. Made me tear up. What wonderful friends. That kiss was baddd though. That was kind of disappointing haha. |

| Kakeru hurt his ankle? The power of friendship is making Hagita run faster than the speed o sonic. They won. Suwa listening. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Only on shoujo anime where a relay can be so dramatic xD This was a really nice and heartwarming episode |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Awesome and beautiful episode, for all characters. Now I'm worried. There are three episodes and a movie left, but almost anything seems finished, so I hope they won't beat around the bush. |
| The mattress scene was so heartwrenching. They are carrying some of his burdens for him. I’m glad they are able to get through to Kakeru. If only it were that easy to get someone who is depressed to open up to you that easily & not take everything you do out of pity for them or take it the wrong way. I’m happy for them!! The relay scene was really nice too, brought me to tears when Naho passed on the message to him. I seriously wonder how is everything going to line up with that original version of the present. Also.... PROTECC SUWA AT ALL COSTS????? |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
