| FUTABA'S ARC!!! So her adolescent syndrome is splitting into two slightly different personas. Sakuta being Sakuta So unconsciously perverted XD  Futaba looks really good with ponytail Smart-sexy I agree.  Sometimes falling in love is random  Ponytail Futaba is kinky  Futaba, the one who Sakuta always consults for advices about the adolescent syndorme, is now the one who has the adolescent syndrome and Sakuta trying to help her. I look forward to know more about Futaba and how her character develops after this arc. :) |
 |
| I'm actually mad that i have to wait another week for this, Mai best girl |
 |
| Mai is worst girl. She might be good looking, but I don't like her personality. I like the other girls more specially Koga and Makinohara because they are more submissive. |
| This anime is definetely going in my favorite's list. |
 |
| So like we were introduced to two new symtoms ...nice to see these developments...but still curious why is this happening around him maybe he is a catalyst |
 |
nachtweiss said: So anyone that is not submissive is bad? Okay, I prefer to see a balanced relationship between male and female so I don't think mai is worst girl or people like her just because of her appearance Amen to that. Sakuta and Mai are 100% on the same level and it's SO refreshing to see, esp. in anime. If 7 episodes have taught us anything about Sakuta, it's that he does what he wants, when he wants. He's not subservient to Mai at all, and he gives as good as he gets. The night visit scene is a perfect example. When Mai chided him for talking about Futaba, ANY other protagonist would have immediately apologized profusely and focused on Mai instead. But Sakuta just keeps on talking about his concern for Futaba and even gets Mai to help him out. No groveling, no oops, just a "she's my friend and I'm concerned about her, deal with it" posture. It was great. AddiTeacha2 said: What if the "fake" futaba is actually the real one? I think that's what we're going to learn thru this arc---that both Futabas are equally real. |

| You know there is this test for movies and series to see if something is worth something that says that you need more than one woman in a story (if it is a story about more than two people obviously) and those mutliple women will talk with each other without the main character. If that is the case something is usually way better and more interesting than stories without that happening. This episode you had that exact moment. Not just did the female members of the show talk to each other without the main character present, but also the main character talked with another male character without the female members present. While it wasn't a perfect case for the rule because Kumini is still more of a token character (with potential to be more) it still showed that the rule still holds up and that it goes both ways (especially for harem shows). |

| Maybe something has escaped my attention, but how could it be that Futaba-1 seems to know about the young Makinohara - at 18:20 she reacts to her appearance simply with a "she does really exist" - while Azusagawa has spoken of his meeting with her only to Futaba-2? |

Pretty sure Sakuta had spoke to Futaba about Shoko before all the events of the episode. He confides in her a lot. |

Pretty sure Sakuta had spoke to Futaba about Shoko before all the events of the episode. He confides in her a lot. I am sure he had not, since he speaks about the reappearance of the young Makinohara to Futaba-2 at the beginning of this episode (at 5:00). |

| There's two Futaba in this arc?? o_o" What??? When I saw that annoying peach haired girl I was like "here she goes again...", but then I was surprised by her finding! She sounds like some kind of detective to go that deep with her search. I'm wondering how this Futaba mystery will end. Mai and Shouko are so alike it's almost scary! *-* Is she Mai's lost sister or something? |

Right, but Futaba was familiar with Sakuta's backstory and Shoko's role. That's why when Sakuta tells Futaba-2 about Shoko's appearance, she says "That first crush of yours?" like she knows the story. So when Futaba-1 says "She really does exist" over the breakfast table, I think it's just surprise at her appearance, not that Futaba-1 knows anything extra. In other words, I don't think Futaba's and Shoko's arcs are connected by anything more than their mutual experience of Adolescence Syndrome. |

Yes, Futaba-1 is familiar with Shoko's backstory, but she hasn't heard about that the girl has reappeared again in Azusagawa's life much younger than she was in his story of their meeting at the seashore so it was a bit strange to me that she doesn't react to the fact that Shoko has a look of a seventh grader instead of a high school girl. What this seems to indicate is that Futuba-1 somehow - even if just unconsciously - knows about things of which only Futuba-2 should have knowledge. |

| The ED song keeps changing for all the girls,it's so awesome to see clover works making a really nice anime like this. The MC kinda has an Ayanokoji feel to him,He also resembles the MC of Hyouka but a bit pervy. Love this series! |
  |
| I laughed so much when Sakuta was screaming into the pillow after he failed to kiss Mai, another fantastic episode. Also Futaba is hot af and Kaede is too damn cute |

You're right; it was a bit strange, but...I'm still more weirded out by Shoko's random appearances at Sakuta's apartment... As a parent of an 11-year-old, I can't imagine my daughter coming to me and saying "Yeah dad, so I just met this random high school student and he's keeping this cat for me; can I go over to his apartment every day and see the cat and hang out for hours at a time?" |

| Aah that goddamn midnight banter between Sakuta and Mai was refreshing. Sakuta's pillow hugging was my exact reaction lmao. Also CAN SOMEONE PLS MAKE A GIF/WEBM OF FUTABA PUSHING UP HER GLASSES IN THE ED PLSSSS, LIKE HORY SHET I JUST GOT AWOKEN TO A NEW FETISH!! Tan_H said: Everyone thanks for the advice. Try dsgstng dot com (just replace the dot ofc), I haven't been there lately but that's where I simulcast with my Yuru Camp and Sora Yori streams before. No subtitles ofc. |

| Ok, now it's the Futaba arc, 2 Futaba that exist in one world, either one is the real Futaba and the other one is a fake or some kind of mysterious magic exist in her Puberty syndrome to have 2 of them exist in one space...... |

| Well well this gonna be a good arc I always love these kinda stories. Too bad we didn't have a kiss scene with Mai san. |
Raizel said: Too bad we didn't have a kiss scene with Mai san. Yeah but what she said to Sakuta afterwards was almost better than a kiss. She's in it with him for the long haul. I can't recall another show with so many rejection scenes that has felt so satisfying, haha. |
| Away from the things of man, my love, away from the things of man. |
| Can anyone tell me the Japanese name of Futaba 2's account? I tried the Google translate app and instead of a translation it blurred it out! So I'm guessing it's something rude! |
| I think the little girl shouko is sakuta's first love ( Same name etc but most importantly same hairs than flashback) that somehow travelled in time due to adolescence syndrom (Maybe cuz she never saw him again after ) |
 yikes |
| So I guess the Futaba that falls for Sakuta would be the doppelganger one? |

I just realized that all of my favorite characters, beside being stunningly beautiful, also happen to be exceptionally skilled murder machines. \('-')/ I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges. |
thepath said: Mai is worst girl. She might be good looking, but I don't like her personality. I like the other girls more specially Koga and Makinohara because they are more submissive. Yeah I don't like Mai either. Reminds me of Yukino from Oregairu and I don't like her too. Koga is cute though. |
  |
| Well, this was a very solid start to this new arc, and once again I'm glad that the show is constantly making it clear that it's not a harem by keeping Mai in the picture as part of the plot as much as is feasible (I have a bad feeling about what she wants to talk about after her mother's phone call, but I'm sure they'll work it out). As for Futaba, she's been a solid secondary character up to this point, so I like that the show is now making her a main character for this arc. Her form of Adolescent Syndrome is already very interesting, but that reveal at the end certainly confuses things: which Futaba is running that "secret" account, or was it up before this happened (and presumably acted as one of a couple of triggers for it)? Also, how did Kunimi's girlfriend find it so easily? If she did, shouldn't Kunimi and the entire school be able to as well? |
| Futaba best girl and now there's two of her? Well damn. I wonder how they're gonna settle this. Will the other Futaba become the villain or something. |

Have you...never been a middle/highschool kid before? You don’t exactly detail the specifics of what you’re going to be doing when you go out. You tell your parents you’re going to be hanging out with some friends and leave it at that. Your daughter most certainly won’t ask your permission the way you said it if that was in fact what she was doing lol... |
Oh god, here we go with paradoxes and alternative timelines agai- WELL THIS IS THE BEST TIMELINE That aside, a very promising new arc, and a very solid first episode at it. I like Futaba's personality and she adds interesting dynamics whenever she's in the spotlight, this scenario of apparent split personalities looks pretty great. |
| With great beauty comes a dark shadow. It seems that Futaba Alter is up to some shady business. I wonder, what is her endgame? Surely it cannot be merely a matter of self-expression? Kaede's reaction to s smart device was intriguing as well. Despite appearances, her situation still seems to be far from resolved. |
| I think they are handling the little things like Azusagawa and Sakurajima's interactions well. Arc seems nice. I'd guess the difference between the Futabas is how they deal with the suppressed emotions, but we'll see. |

-Mahesvara said: Janethan23 said: Both Futaba's like Kuniumi, so no. This isn't a harem.So I guess the Futaba that falls for Sakuta would be the doppelganger one? +1 The show has gone out of its way multiple times to point out that Futaba has absolutely no romantic interest in Sakuta. |
| Away from the things of man, my love, away from the things of man. |
| ACK IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER Im so happy I got to see Futaba in a new hairstyle. This double thing is turning out to be the best thing to ever happen My wifeeee~ Mai and Sakuta just keep getting cuter tooo Im really intrigued as to what's happening with the new girl too AND I WANNA SEE THE BLONDE FROM THE OP ALREADYY I love how honest Sakuta and Mai are with each other too. It's just all so goood~~~ |
