| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was an interesting episode. Now that Futaba is self aware she has a rival for Kou... I thought a few scenes from the episode were funny like when she pulled that thing off of Kou. I think she's falling for him even harder now though. Welp sorry Yuuri but you also got competition. |
 |
| She's kind awkward with her, but she tries to not mind about the confession. She's really in love, so the main girl is trying to appear that she's not in love, too. The past main guy talk lol~ Thought so, it's that point where he helped her out made her fall in love with him. He really doesn't consider her as a girl, or did he did that on purpose because what she said about him? They got some alone time doing work, which made her awkward now. That testing to see who he likes, and lol his reaction. That inserted song during that part is pretty, though. Are they getting near, or another girl is coming that is known from junior high school? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Good ep .. but the prev.. i was wondering how they were going to fit the other girl in.. but it looks like they're going to force their way in I wish this would get a season 2 because things havent happened yet and we're already on ep 7 next week and its a 12 ep anime >.< |
| Good episode but they started cutting stuff. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| Ugh,I don't hate Yuuri,but her reasons to fall in love Kou are pretty stupid IMO. "He is so nice,he helped me!!!! Not like other boys would do that to a girl,wow!!!!! Such a gentleman!! He also looks nice and cool!!" Hell,she can have a harem based on that. |
| this episode reveal why katakana from the title just "Aoharaido". it's the name of the station :o but what about that station? at last futaba realize what she feel, about her "dere" side this episode hahaha this episode makes me love this series all over again |

| Good episode. What a way to decide whether Futaba will love Kou or not. I hope she tell Yuuri how she feels about Kou. |
 |
| Why I have impression that there is "another Kou" in this anime? One background character have the same hair style like Kou... Scenes where Futaba goes to school with Yuuri and when they eat lunch. Moment when Futaba trying act like Kou xD That voice~ So funny! They cut some parts in episode 4, but they add fillers in episode 5? I don't like it! :/ I don't know how explain, but this part with train was so strange... Is like too long... so slow... in manga it was more like "faster" more natural... here I really feels like "they drag this to finish it in good place" xD But otherwise technical staff this was really good moment! <3 Oh... All these Koutaba moments in this episode! I just love them so much! They are just perfect! <3 Kou you are so damn cool! You are so damn hot! I can't... >.< |
| Futaba really does like Kou a lot. There is going to be a bit of a rivalry between her and Yuuri now. That scene when she was wondering if Kou would stay on the train or get off was really nice. |
| The lack of Yuuri in the second half of the episode made it so much more enjoyable than the first. I really liked the train scene. It was obvious that Kou was going to get off the train, but that's what made it such a nice moment. Glad Futaba decided that she isn't going to give up on him. |
| I started loving Kou's voice. LittleStar said: I don't know how explain, but this part with train was so strange... Is like too long... so slow... in manga it was more like "faster" more natural... here I really feels like "they drag this to finish it in good place" xD Yeah, I thought the same thing, but overall the episode was cute, as always. |
| detective kou.. futaba confirmed pervert LOL dat neck fetish.. hnghh? |
    |
| Does anyone know the song in 19:50 ( the station) ? |
| Oh God,I just saw the pv for next episode. Please tell me that girl it's not But it's probably so. Which will probably be followed by Ffffffffffffff- |
| friends shoujo version btw is that girl in the preview... her? |
 |
| Come on Futaba,just say her that you like him.i dont want drama situations about that in the future,at least make it an open rivalry...And please change your hair back... billybob300c said: it's gettin kinda cheesy... |

| so cheesy yet so gewd. classroom comedy was great the train scene was the highlight of the episode |

| it's gettin kinda cheesy... i guess i'd buy into this show if kou x futaba share more fun times together or show more connections between them. right now it's just futaba always being shy... 7/10 |
| Such a cute episode. It's kind of annoying that Futaba was almost feeling guilty for liking Kou just because of Yuuri. Glad he got off the train though! |
 |
| I found it very stupid that Futaba would decide whether she loves Kou based on whether or not he gets off the train, as if it's a crucial factor in life. He already waited for her at school, why wasn't that enough, why should he have to prove his "niceness" again. Felt bad for Kou having to get off the train for no reason due to Futaba's stupid games. |

| Aghhhh. I kinda wanted Futaba to hide her feelings and ignore Kou to see how he would react. I want to see flustered Kou. I can't tell if he's just doing nice things because he's ice or likes her. Can't he show some emotion? PV, so there's another girl coming. Ugh. Can there be another guy for Futaba so Kou can be jealous because it feels like Futaba is getting all the problems. |

I was legitimately making this face during the ending |

| I can not explain the feels I got from this episode. (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ Now i'm falling love with Kou! (✿ ♥‿♥) |
| 💕 |
| Their relationship is cute. And Kou's that kind of guy who would do something even if it was a pain for him (I understand you), way to go. And poor Yuuri, i don't think that you will end up with Kou. |
| Really nice episode, this show just doesn't disappoint. Halfway there, hope the rest will be as good. Don't want a rushed anime only-ending :/ |
| PLEASE GET DA FUCK OFF THE TRAIN 'CAUSE I WANT TO LOVE YOU |

When friends like the same guy, it always starts out with one girl going, no I can't like the same guy as my bff. Maybe it's because they're actually serious about going after the guy (in manga), but my friends and I in junior high or high school would just go, "omg you like him too?" And then proceed to talk about why we like the guy. Anyways, aaaahhh Kou. He has so much patience with Futaba, or maybe just in general he's really nice and considerate. He waits for her and then gets off the train. And lol his reaction when Futaba said that she didn't actually forget anything. He wasn't even really pissed. |
| First half was meh with that "I can't love him because my friend does BS <_<" but second half was good. Futaba knows she loves him now and No matter what Kou says he definitely loves her too XD Yuuri, u have absolutely no chance whatsoever ^^; And Futaba obviously wants to love him with how she said "get off" lol so much for choosing. The way he treats her differently from other girls and the way he waited for her after she went to give the teacher the reports was really cute ^^ Loved the report writing part and Futaba saying "I was found out" when he also added her sniffing his nape during the cops and robbers time :3 Futaba really had quite a lot of cute faces this ep. Esp loved when she had her hair behind her ears :3 And Damn!! The tension during the "Leave the train" = Love him/"Stays on" = Don't was amazing hehe. The way they kept hiding if he stayed or not covering his space with things for that long was just lol XD It was obvious he'll stay because just imagine there being no one. That would've been hilarious XD Love that insert song so much <3 |
 |
| I like how Kou hitting some weak points on Futabe and she gets those funny expressions on her face XD. My god the 2nd half was so freaking heartwarming as ever, I basically have this feeling he might now get off the train but then he actually did. Damn those camera angles just gave me an intensity feel to it. Yuuri is a good character but IDK if I should like her character when she now has feelings for Kou. But I'll see how the show goes. |
| the "porn" part was pretty funny but tbh futaba is a drama queen, i don't really like that |
 |
| Would be better if he didn't got off straight but like chased her back later. Haven't read the manga yet but hope she will confess soon. |
| Keep moving forward |
| Futabas's inner monologues = much pain for me. I guess I should stop wishing and waiting for a high school shoujo romance anime to sweep me off my feet. |

| Oh, boy. Someone's going to get hurt here. |
| I have to say, my excitement for this series dwindled a bit with episode 5, but I'm back on board with episode 6. I really like how they executed the last half of the episode. I especially loved that crosswalk scene for some reason. All the quiet subtleties and the little build-ups of tension in the last portion there were pretty spot-on for me. I LOVE how they're doing Futaba's internal monologues and how the visuals are being paired with them. I have to say though, I find the anime version of Yuuri kind of grating. Her crush is like an exaggerated version of every other generic shoujo crush cliche accelerated at the speed of light. Other than that, I only have a minor qualm about the music, which seems heavy-handed and a bit overdramatic for a series like this. I've been noticing this since episode 1, but I especially noticed it even more during this episode. letfelicityfly said: kawaii-despair said: Oh God,I just saw the pv for next episode.

The girl in the preview is so don't worry :) THANK GOD. I freaked out for a moment there. Haha, I thought the same thing when I saw the preview. I wonder if they deliberately threw in a red-herring for manga readers. |
| So cute :P Just gonna tell you guys out there... Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| He got off the train <333 |
| Another really good episode. Wow, I'm enjoying this A LOT more than I thought I would. First Isshukan Friends, and now Ao Haru Ride. Why is a guy in his mid-twenties recently starting to enjoy shoujo romance anime? |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Yuuri with the bag on her back is so kawaii, KYAAAAA~ Without the bag she's just someone who bothers the romance in this anime. Awesome episode as always. |

I would've left if I was him, since I'm not that considerate and trust her words, not her wishful thinking. |

| I love Yuuri and all, but it kinda pisses me off to see that she loves Kou too >.< The feels are just way too strong in this anime and I don't know if I can handle it xD Kou x Futaba is the OTP though....Nothing compares, they are just way too cute and Kou is just PERFECT anf Futaba is just such a sweet girl too >//< I hope that Futaba tells Yuuri the truth in the next episode, but I just have a feeling that it'll be bad T.T Other than that, the first half was hurting my soul but still HILARIOUS at the same time xDD |
