I think so too, and the slower, more realistic pacing probably contributes a loss of patience with the show. But doesn't it become so much more credible and sweet this way, unlike shows were the characters end up kissing each other left and right without having developed any real kind of relationship. But shows like these are rare, I can only mention less than a handful. I have the impression that the fan service ones are a dime a dozen. I am so glad that these rare gems exist :) |
GlowingAura said: I just realised something.... these characters never blink unless they turn their head or if it's supposed to indicate emotion. No wonder why I found their eyes creepy. Also, is it just me, or are the subs a bit confusing? The official subs is actually not so good.The meaning of some sentences are changed but they are still on the acceptable level, I guess. |

| Ah, every single difference from the manga (or my expectations of their voices) still feels so weird. Probably wouldn't be as bad if I had only read it once, but after re-reading it as many times as I have, it's amplified so much more. Still, the anime is definitely doing the source material justice so far. And I loved the ice cream tear this time, that was a brilliant detail added here, alluding to the feelings Akari could not show on her face. |
 |
| I think I actually underestimated this series. It's in a good pace, has interesting elements and is well written. I like the fact that Koito didn't fell for Nanami in the beginning and It's (probably) a curve until she likes her. (Most shows like this tend to show the love-relationship in the first episode instead of building it up slowly) Interesting too is Koito's dad: He clearly states that he wouldn't like it, when his own daughter falls in love with a girl. |
this episode pretty much |
Gimmicks said: Not sure if I'm going to drop this or not. It's kind of boring so far, I don't care at all about the student council work. Completely unrealistic confession in the first ep. Not sure what to make of Koito at all. I can kind of relate to her struggle of not feeling that romantic "spark" with someone but she's not exactly a likable character.. I mean she seems kind of fake, pretending that she's ok helping out Nanami but her internal monologue sounds like she despises her?? And is there some kind of triangle going on, it seems like Saeki likes Nanami.. Kind of curious about their past, wonder if they're gonna give any more details on that. |
| Best episode so far, pretty much perfect to me, it was really well done. The composition and directing. I can't ask for more. Touko's showing her weak side, and we're finally getting into her character. |

Not sure how did you interpret it that way but Yuu honestly wants helps Nanami. It was her personal problem that made her 'secret' relationship with Nanami felt complicated for her. |
| It seems like my love for this adaptation is growing more and more. Excellent episode, and so far this series' pacing has been very good and not extremely rushed compared to other anime similar to this. |
| hmmmm...an okayish episode? definitely their relationship will turn for a worse? or is this subtle? but for sure Touko is slowly going for the attack! 3/5. |
 |
| i think i hold yuri anime to a higher standard but i still can't shake off the feeling that this plot feels forced. their relationship feels stuck, i don't really see growth in their bond because from the start they oscillate between moments of deep, unjustified intimacy (carried out by touko's straightforwardness, which to me feels sometimes a little....plastic?) and moments of awkwardness that is always on the edge of rudeness (carried mainly by yuu, which to me also feels fabricated because she's a very kind character). so far they haven't developed anything other than this relation of extremes. i think what i mean is that i wish they could be friends but they never seem to be friendly with each other? idk. i like this, but i'm held back by these details |

And is there some kind of triangle going on, it seems like Saeki likes Nanami.. Kind of curious about their past, wonder if they're gonna give any more details on that. She definitely doesn't despise her. The monologue with her speech is her making up her mind to stay by Touko's side and help her. It may be an issue with the tone after translation but "despise" is most likely not what it's trying to portray. She isn't wrong, either. Touko has problems that she only opens up to Yuu, who does not see anyone as "special", having no expectations on how Touko should act, which is the main reason she even started to approach Yuu in the first place. (As is supposed to be stated in the episode as a short written line, but is completely mistranslated.) For Yuu, Touko has really always been a bit of an annoyance following her around, but Yuu herself is nice enough of a person to genuinely care about Touko's well being. mifti said: i think i hold yuri anime to a higher standard but i still can't shake off the feeling that this plot feels forced. their relationship feels stuck, i don't really see growth in their bond because from the start they oscillate between moments of deep, unjustified intimacy (carried out by touko's straightforwardness, which to me feels sometimes a little....plastic?) and moments of awkwardness that is always on the edge of rudeness (carried mainly by yuu, which to me also feels fabricated because she's a very kind character). so far they haven't developed anything other than this relation of extremes. i think what i mean is that i wish they could be friends but they never seem to be friendly with each other? idk. i like this, but i'm held back by these details Touko's really just a huge awkward mess trying to get a girl, and Yuu is as cold as it gets for a relationship. They're not even really in a relationship yet, it's just Touko trying to make advances and Yuu taking it like Touko said, just being her and not worrying about them much. Yuu's dialogues towards Touko are more of ones towards a friend than towards a lover: sarcastic, cynical, and not exactly passionate. Tl;DR for both responses: It's kind of like owning a cat. You usually wonder why the hell you decided to have one, but when things happen you do generally worry about your cat a lot. That's how I summarize Yuu's situation in early episodes. |
| @Veromaye This is yuri, so I won’t be surprised if even more girls come out of the closet in the future, as was the case with milf pairing. Moreover, the opening is already seems pretty shippy about the MC's friends. However, as far as I know, one of them already had male crush. Gugimu said: The homophobic parent jumped out. Im surprised by how open Yuu´s sister is towards talking about Nanami like she was actually Yuu´s girlfriend, its going to be really interesting to see their real reactions once Yuu reciprocates Nanami´s feelings. Just don't add a politics here, please. Any parent will be surprised if his child is gay, even the most open minded. Moreover, I am not sure that this was really an assumption, and not a teasing due to an ambiguous misunderstanding. |

And this is not the case when yuri was so small that even a show like Izetta could have been hyped. |

And there's no sexual moments here. Barely kissing. Plus there's no more girls getting out of "closet", the only other gay girl is All others are straight so far in the manga. "Maybe" in the future, but I doubt it. |

"Maybe" in the future, but I doubt it. This is a matter of terminology. Yuu and Touko are both girls anyway, so there is nothing strange about the term yuri. And yes, I know about "her." But I also know that the authors of LGBT manga have a rather negative attitude towards an extra image of heterosexual relationships. So, this is of course pure speculation, but for me personally it will not be a surprise. At most, one of them will dating with Maki. |

| Good episode! I read the manga once again after the episode and there's some subtly differences. Like the order is different. The star scenes with Yuu and her sister was shown before the election and not after the election like in the anime. When Touko went back to the bookstore from her trip, they were talking inside of the bookstore and not outside. The break before elections. Touko mentions your the only one I can do this is you compared to you the only one like this when she patted her head to Yuu. Also, her speech was actually translated in the Anime, while Manga it only showed her thoughts and not the speech itself(just random scribbles). Other than that. Great adaptation!! This concludes Vol. 1 of the manga! Keep up the good work!! |
papsoshea said: What's so confusing? Yuu thinks love should feel like it's often depicted in Shoujo manga. All she wants is to feel like that.I honestly cannot relate to Yuu, reading the comments here just confuses me even more about her character. |
 |
| Lovely episode. The speech at the end was a nice climax. I actually appreciate how the relationship between Koito and Nanami is progressing slowly since it feels more natural. Forced drama is the last thing a story such as this needs. |

| I'm not sure whether I like the - waiting tactic for your crush to like you back - the series endorses... But Yuu has agreed to be close to her senpai herself. I like how mentally strong she is too. |

Dude, is the word choice so crucial here Just including an attitude isn't a sign of endorsement or approval: what that attitude results in does. If a character has an idea and that idea is proved true, then that would be an endorsement. If a character has an idea that is later proved wrong then it's likely the author doesn't approve of it. This is the lynchpin of things like subversion: where an idea looks like it's going to be proved true but is later disproved. If Akari does get her senpai because she waited, then it's an endorsement. |

| Hmmm........ I find all the deep character discussion..... sort of...... unrelatable to me since I have never been (nor do I see it happening in the future) a Japanese high school girl. However, the anime is still on a pleasant boat ride and not the usual roller coaster of emotional turmoil. The art is very nicely done as are the subtitles by Jordan Hemman. All of the technical problems were handled by Michael Olesch without a hitch. |

| Showing each other their vulnerable sides, hm?.. Well, just wondering how important this is in their relationship.. Koito initially wanted to talk with Nanami, because she thought she'd be a good person to talk about this, right?.. And Nanami might partially fell in love with Koito, because she was relatable in this.. Well, that Koito couldn't talk about things that bothered her with her friends, as Nanami herself does as well.. Also, not feeling love relatable thing.. Now Koito also added new motive for herself to be with Nanami.. It looks like support Nanami showed her, that she's able to make things with her, gives her more courage.. And life's getting some other things as well, right, like that present, or occasional talks.. Well, they're getting closer to each other.. |
| this kind of reminds me of every slice of life plot so far, just gay |

| Pacing and development on this series really is quite lovely! Really liking it how this is developing! |

 |
| I honestly love this episode! I live the pacing and it seems that there's a development with Yuu's perspective and actions. I felt a little giddy before their speech it may still really vague, but we get to know a little about Touko and the reason why she fell in love with Yuu. |

| Three episodes in and I already love this show. Wish I'd watched it sooner. I like the development of their relationship, it's sweet and personally for me it feels natural. Can't wait to see more. |
 |
| I have a hard time finding this anime good , its not funny at all , i dont like characters personality, design, dress, hair , i dont like the story , ost , op ed In 700+ anime theres was almost always something good , a single cute loli , a funny thing each ep , but here i cant , it almost bothering me to watch it so i put it 5/10 , usualy my anime are around 7 |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| This is so cute!!! This is definitely one of my favorite gls so far. |
| I like the development of their relationship. Yuu's speech was very nice. |

| I enjoyed this episode sooo much. Nanami's feelings are so precious and you can see she is slowly trying to get into Yuu's heart. What I found intriguing is Yuu's father's commentary. |
 |
| Yuu still doesn't feel the "fireworks," although when Touko first held Yuu's hand, something certainly went through her. Maybe Yuu simply hasn't come to terms with it, yet. And Touko wins the spot for student council president! Nobody is surprised, lol. |
 |
| THE LAYERS. Man am I these two's love child or what. I feel Touko urge to better myself but also hate showing weakness or vulnerability to literally anyone. Yuu becoming some she can lean on really made my heart flutter as well. Plus it was cool to see more of their private life outside of school with Yuu's family. All around great episode! |
