| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, this show focuses more on Kuga more than I had expected. Seems like she has a history with Sakuya. That promise though...  Meh pretty slow episode. I think Koharu grew a bit closer to Kakeru. |
 |
| Showing how that boy (Abe-san) from the future got there. He learns how the airship works. I'm not sure how she can imagine that kind of answer with that question. That girl trying to draw a picture of the criminal, and her partner doesn't say her drawing is bad. Shuriken shaped onigiri? Interesting of seeing little parts of those pairs' past. Talk about being lonely or not. That sparkling lady that the future boy saw... KajiKaji's character likes to tease people (and smile to hide his sad past), and Shimono-san's character is annoyed. KajiKaji's character was traveling with his father, but left the stuff left on his ear and died (though the man with him in the scenery seems like the man she met). Oh, so the guy with the kuudere girl has no power and she was trying to help him hide that. Eh~, KajiKaji's character in fever next? |

| Wut? Kakeru is actually a girl? lol. Jokes aside, pretty slow ep but I did enjoy the interactions between character and specially Kakeru and Koharu's hilarious interactions. |
| Okay episode, got pretty boring at times. Lol at Kakeru being a girl. 3/5 |
 |
| yawn all this focus on Kakeru and Koharu tbh. Just me more Nanami and Mikoto, good thing next episode will deliver more. |
| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |
| Nanami and Akito's story is very interesting, like it. By now the most underrated anime of the season in my eyes. |
| This is the best episode yet when it comes to character work. Remember all those complaints about Koharu and Kakeru? Yeah, none here. They're finally themselves again. Only took three episodes but what have ya. Mikoto and Sakuya were freaking adorable as kids. Sakuya especially. I wonder if Otomate gave them sketches to base their designs on. A lot more group feel than any other episode. Not much mystery added so easier to digest. The director was smart to make this the third episode - although it would have been smarter to mix some of its elements into earlier episodes to show the personalities of the Norn kids better. Sorata's introduction was pretty good. More to the point than the VN. Looking forward to next episode. If I'm right, it'll bring my favorite boys to the forefront, who have so far just been everywhere but in a shallow capacity. Plz. I love them. Show everyone else why. |

| Kakeru-chan... the way he rotfl was funny XD Many scenes in this ep make me laugh, but the angst is there too... I don't want Mikoto to leave Sakuya T^T Smudy said: Well because this is an IF otome game adaption so it automatically got low score no matter how good it actually is...Nanami and Akito's story is very interesting, like it. By now the most underrated anime of the season in my eyes. |
| Ok episode. I find Koharu boring, I'm honestly more interested in Akito and Nanami. |
| Lol at Mikoto's drawings. Episode starts at the beginning of the game with Sorata's arrival (and later Aion's appearance); hopefully they reveal more of Koharu and Kakeru soon. Things between Nanami and Akito are somewhat progressing. |
 |
| Bored and dropped. Only thing I like is the OP. |

| Not bad for an episode devoted to romance progression....The blue haired guy and the stoic girl are shaping up to be the best couple |
| Another great episode! My pick for most underrated of the season so far :) |
| Wow i'm actually pretty impressed with this so far. Very entertaining and I got quite a few laughs. Senri's reactions to Kakeru are the best ("it hasn't even been 10 seconds yet" and that whispering behind the bush) Koharu's airheadedness is also very funny. Yes Kakeru you got friendzoned. A plant beat you, too bad. Oh and her thinking he was actually a girl. Man this girl is silly lol, love it. Mikoto though...feel bad for Sakuya, he's such a sweetheart. He was a total cutie as a child. Her drawing was terrible, Sorata got it right, looks like a bug. Also I'm a little confused. Doesn't everyone pretty much get what Koharu's ability is? Is it still a secret? I mean the entire area was scorched and she was there. I guess they could believe the intruder did it, but still...she makes it so obvious that she feels bad. |
| Kakeru's past OMG Sakuya and Miikoto past Akito and Nanami past |
| LMAO kakeru lost to the tree and that ending confused me a little. is akito the traitor now or not? |
 |
| We get some background in this one |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |
| Mikoto's drawing is a work of art lol |
 |
| No matter how much I struggle, I can't understand any character's reasons nor what's happening in the story as a whole at all. The only thing that keeps me from dropping it is the art... ...Ok, the cute boys too, even if I can't tell one from another. |
 |
| This has to be the most bullshit series I've watched all season. Don't get me wrong, the concepts are very, very good; the boy from the future, the concept of powers, the characters' pasts and connections, the romance between a plant man and fire girl, the attackers' goals. These are some very interesting and well thought up premises but the execution is just plain terrible. There's almost zero focus on the newly introduced character whose background I cannot stop thinking about, Koharu is another dummy otome heroine, the drama is so badly placed (I mean, who the hell are these people!? What am I supposed to feel about Suicidal-White-Chick!?) and the potential to make the writing stellar is wasted on-wait for it-FUCKING FARMING. I have no intention of dropping this as, like I said, the concepts are just way too good that I want to see how it all ties and ends but, for now, it's rising up to sky-high levels of nonsense and bullshit. |

| Pretty good for me but I can imagine that to someone who's never played the VN game the series of events they showed in this episode were literally "all over the place"......cuz that's exactly what it is doing: Showing bits and pieces of every route leaving it an awkward out-of-context lost mess in most cases. Well that aside my random comments: -- LOL, Sakuya had THAT much hair as a kid?! -- Dang...they just had Mikoto leave her drawing on the table? There goes the second-half of that lol-fest -- Yay for random Senri cameo. (*wants more Senri over Kakeru*) -- Poor Sorata seems like he was put in as a "oh snap, we need to insert him somehow" afterthought no matter how you look at it and YAY, more Natsuhiko in the preview! |

ShiningNinja said: So so far, the things that seem like plot holes actually have an explanation, IF the anime decides to add the right scenes from the various routes and stop with the farming yup, this. i wonder if it's just people don't like feeling confused? are they assuming their questions will never get answered? idk. hard to look at this show objectively since i see how good the writers are at grabbing the more important threads of the VN and showing us one coherent narrative. lots of visual cues and foreshadowing. we get an otome adaption with a lot of care and love put into it (for once!) but so many people dropping it, calling it nonsense... makes me sad. :( |
|
| Slow episode but it was nice |
 |
| Decent, I loved the part where Koharu thought Kakeru was a girl xD Just so you know it's official Koharu x Peach tree is OTP! That cliffhanger though, wait they are hanging from a cliff........ |
ShiningNinja said: Yeah it seems like some kind of unspoken thing to announce that they'll drop this thing ASAP because of lack of plot/character progression at the 3 episode mark. (Come on guys, world building takes time....) Other shows do the ' info dump by talking heads' and people complain This shows tries to foreshadow events, and people complain that there's no answers. there's no middle ground haha. Because they're so used to having the whole plot spoon-fed to them, instead of having themselves piece together small (important) tidbits that are easily dismissed as mere 'nonsense'. This is a case where we have to pay extra attention to characters interaction to understand their motivation and because that's where the story will develop. This is coming from the person who thought Koharu the dumbest girl alive for going straight to the line of fire before actually piecing things together tidbits and only after then I can sympathize with her. It's a matter of patience... and how well you can read into the lines lol. Though, I admit the game itself did give me quite the headache... currycurry said: idk. hard to look at this show objectively since i see how good the writers are at grabbing the more important threads of the VN and showing us one coherent narrative. lots of visual cues and foreshadowing. we get an otome adaption with a lot of care and love put into it (for once!) :( True. I was actually quite impressed by how well the writers are in that area, being able to show important parts without info-dumping them. Sure, everything's shown is not yet clear, but they will be, in time (I hope). All that's left is viewers' patience. It's only three episodes in. We can't expect everything to be clear on the third episodes, eh? |
| Holy shit why is the OST so damn good? Underrated anime. |
| bless the anime to cover all 3 routes at the same time hahaha this is goldddd  Slow episode and it still feels really dopey to me. I want to drop it real bad but I want to see this adapted..... ahh. |

| Koharu is so dumb it hurts. "You're right I'm not alone, I have this peach tree!" doh Nanami and Akito have some interesting interactions at least. |
 |
| If Kakeru was a girl, he just broke all laws of being a trap. That masterpiece drawing by Mikoto was used well with the comedy. Akito having no powers is a surprise and it looks like he has a shady acquaintance as well. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Honestly, I'm not even sure if Koharu x Kakeru is going to happen because Koharu is SO naive. Its kind of annoying. Kakeru is a trap now tho. I'm honestly not sure if he's a girl or not~~ And he got shot down by a tree xD best part this episode~ And how did a gust of wind knock down Nanami?! And what was that ending even... I hope it clears that up in the next episode... Cause I was pretty confused =/ |
 "Because nothing makes one happier than being with the one you love." ~ Isla, Plastic Memories Click my signature for my list ^^ |
| Kind of a slow episode ... but I guess more of Kakeru's past and then the same thing with Shiranui and her partner not having a special ability! Not to mention Sakuya's "promise" to Mikoto ... in any case I'm having trouble keeping track of all their names >_< Looks like next episode Kakeru's going to get sick and misses his dad ...? Eh, I hope this show picks up, and for some reason the animation this episode kind of annoyed me ... oh, and that kid from the future, he was barely in this at all! I thought the time traveling would surely play a bigger role o_O All we've got from that part is the "ghost" of the girl ... |
| I don't trust Kakeru. I don't think he's the traitor (note: I haven't played the VN) but I don't think he's exactly a good guy either :/. Koharu's pretty annoying because she's basically nothing, but then again Mikoto's the only female with any personality. And I'm biased because Ayahi. |
 |
| I'm enjoying the mysterious side of this. It will be interesting to see where all of this leads. |
  |
| Lot's of scenes from past but absolutely nothing happened this episode. I think I found the guilty pleasure show of this season. Kakeru is still full of bullshit. |
| Just wanted to say that I have played the game (that incorrect inference/assumption that I haven't played the game has been bugging me more than it should have) On that note, it seems most people who haven't played it are getting frustrated with these series...but maybe I'm seeing it from a biased viewpoint.... Because personally, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to watch this show without going "oh this part is connected to this other part I saw in the game", etc. |

| Well, so that's it for me. I thought Koharu was a bad heroine. But the two other girls aren't any better. And wow, that wind was strong. I would watch more. So, you know, the plot can actually get interesting. But all the characters annoy me and I scream at the screen for most of the episode. The graphics aren't that great, but the music was okay. I've never played the game, but I hope those who did actually find the anime enjoyable. Dropped. |
| I like pancakes. |
| I haven't played the game but I find the anime quite enjoyable. on to the next ep we go! |
