Nice part, but how will it end? New girl who looks like a stalker. Again not many dialogues.
All 3 of them are loners and it looks like their lives are empty, sad and boring :/ Sad slow music and all this makes me sad even more than first part...

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Good episode. I liked this first half,and first episode,and part of second.
But the final of second episode I was angry because Akari not declared his love to Takaki.
I wait good final.

I liked episode 2. I admire Kanae's effort to wait for Tataki and go home with him. Tataki was really kind, but he always looked beyond... The dreams Tataki had that included Akari...Tataki missed Akari and wanted to be with her, but she wasn't by his side. Tataki really wanted his relationship with Akari to work out, but their distance made it so difficult. And Tataki never really looked at Kanae... I like Kanae's mature decision to not confess her feelings to Tataki. Overall, this episode was bittersweet.

Oh, so this is about Takaki's life, seen through different perspectives and "love stories"? Promising.

This part was nice, but mostly because it looked at that period where you are expected to take decisions affecting your subsequent life and thanks to Akane's realization and reaction.

4/5 (after a 3/5 for the first chapter)
Probably a future 6to7


Also, the pictures are quite lovely, mainly thanks to the blend of simplicity (chara-designs), details (environments) and (at times overexaggerated) digital lighting effects. But where are those beautiful animations everyone cries about? It's not horribly static (it's a movie after all) but nothing struck me.

i suppose part 2 is the most depressing part because the girl had realized that the boy never really looked at her in a way that she looked at him. and at the same time the boy is trying to reach out for something that doesn't seem to be possible.

I was looking forward to that confession >_>
But no she just cried and said he was looking "beyond her".
That was a little upsetting.

I'm glad she didn't confess to him. His heart already belongs to Akari and he'd go the distance for her just as she would wait for him.

The only time I think it would be okay for Sumida to go after Takaki is if he and Akari fell apart and couldn't last forever. THEN she can tell him she loves him. I just don't think it's right if she barged in his love life like that just because she's able to be next to him. If he could love Sumida, then he would've fallen for her and noticed the little things, letting go of his first love. But as she knew, he was always looking off beyond her-- searching for Akari. Sumida doesn't stand a chance.

You can tell from the first scene where they pick drinks. Takaki didn't even wait for her indecisive self. He said "I'll be outside." That shows he sees her as only a friend. And when her bike broke down, he didn't let her get on the back of his bike, holding onto his waist. They walked.

Still very good. Still very melodramatic. More great use of imagery, this time all summer, feeling the sun and water and smelling the ocean.

Unrequited love always hurts so bad to watch. I wonder if that is for the same reason that we often root for the underdog when watching a fight.

I like this episode more than the first because a lot more things happened. But, I feel bad for Kanae because she isn't going to be with Takai. I am wondering what happened with Akari because apparently, they aren't sending letters to each other anymore.

and [bold] Lu [/ tag] is here again with the second part. Brother, this sad part honestly hit me a little, but not as they said on that insta, well now I hope the third part doesn't destroy me, because then I won't be on ak for 3 days. XD Still this brother Kanae... why is it so hard for him, well brother I understand I went through this in a way, I wanted to make a friend not a girlfriend. ( ´・・)ノ(._.`)>﹏<

The pain of one-sided love, aaah it's really cruel. I really love how realistic this show is.

Story 2: Cosmonaut

Sumida had a crush on Tohno for so long but he was never looking for her.

Tohno still had Akari on his mind all this time.

Sometimes, you just aren't able to confess. Sometimes you just have to accept the way things are. Maybe they just aren't meant for you.

This felt incomplete as this was a pretty much-unrequitted love but I kinda relate to this. I mean most of us would be able to relate. Pretty sure not everyone is able to confess to their crush nor does everyone's crush reciprocate the same feelings as them.

Love is tough.

Compared to the first one, this one felt a little bit slower but the build up felt more rewarding, overall I don't know if it was that outstanding as it seems to be asides from the rocket part and whole home nostalgia vibe

On this Chapter 2, what was the point of making it such a big timeskip, when I think they were now seniors in High School.   

And it would have been nice if the anime had shown us what the female MC was doing.   

And the girl in this Chapter 2 was cuter than the female MC.  

 I did like the country/beach setting.

This episode is so sad because it reminds me of being a teenager and not being able to tell people I was romantically interested in them. Poor Kanae. She should've said something. Not that I think he would be receptive. He is clinging on to the past way too much for someone who also can't take action.
