Well, the feels are strong in this one.

Loved how Hatoko is being honest now about her stress over Andou's chuuni talks. Now we have two battles to look forward: the superpowers battle, and the battle to win Andou's heart.

Andou has really done it now. The words he used sure are painful to hear. She snapped and told him everything she doesn't understand about him. Hatoko's voice actor, Saori, sure is perfect for voicing characters like this. Kiryuu, along with some other people, just took her. There's a next stage to Route of Origin? Now that sounds very interesting.

Blazing through 7 episodes in one day (of an anime I don't even like) was definitely worth it for the amazing voice acting by Saori Hayami in this episode. Definitely a highlight that's gonna make this show memorable.

Hatoko really took her time ranting ay? But man!!! Kudos to her and her voice actress! All the emotions just burst out and us viewers can really feel her pain. TBH, everything she said regarding Andou's chuuni behavior/personality/habit was spot on! I didn't expect her to snap, but man, that unexpectedness is what made it awesome. I guess her stress, pressure, anxiety, and jealousy really got to her.

Seriously, an epic episode!

Man I really really felt for Hatoko there... "You won't understand anyways." line really hurts when it's not that you are unable to understand what the other person is talking about, it's just that it doesn't click to you. Like you simply don't see the thing same as the other person. It's not that you can't state your opinion, it's just that you prefer peace. That was some amazing voice-acting there, props to Hayami Saori. Best rant ever!

I nearly teared up during that speech, that's all I can say. Drama rarely moves me to that extent.

I was waiting for this episode for a while, and it didn't disappoint. Not a single bit.

Best episode. Rating raised to 8.

She could easily google it. Also, she forces herself into literature club when she doesn't like reading much.


I would give you a one simple response to that. Google isn't a human, the explanation given by it wouldn't even compare to those given by your childhood best friend. The point here isn't that she couldn't get his words, it's that HE wouldn't explain it to her. That's what hurt her.

And telling her to change friends would be a very bad solution, there's only 'one' copy of every person in this world, after-all. No one can compare to your dear ones, dude. No one.

I can understand Jurai and Hatoko in this episode based on their perspective. And good advice from Rikka-look-a-like (can't remember his name but I guess he is Tomoyo's brother?) though he kidnapped him :/

Job well done, Saori Hayami.

Anyway, amazing episode! DAT RANT :O Dat Hayami Saori!!! The barrage of sentences with those emotions actually put a tear in my eyes from the intensity XD
Bravo! It's quite funny though how Hatoko was ranting that much while saying all those Chuuni terms. She says she doesn't understand but goddamn she has lots of info ^^;

Kiryuu has a group of ability users? And they seem up to something! Are we finally gonna start the supernatural battle? I've loved the character development and interactions so far but hopefully there will be epic action with Trigger's animation too >.<!

No that was only for episodes 5 and 6. It'll be back airing at the usual time for the rest of the season.

Seriously though, that rant. Watched it quite a few times already. So intense. Hits pretty damn hard.

Hatoko... damn, she really exploded. Great rant, though. I expected nothing less from the same seiyuu who voiced Ayase from OreImo (I definitely heard some Ayase in Hatoko's rants; think back to the Oreimo episode where Ayase discovered Kirino was an otaku).

I can understand her pain, though. Sometimes, I feel like I'm too much like Juu-kun, which ends up pissing off some people around me.

Hatoko just went up to second best girl (Chifuyu will always be first for me)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Hatoko, my favorite girl from the start of the series(Probably because of her seiyuu), and this justifies it.
You can see how hard Hatoko tries to understand Andou there. Even though she doesn't understand what Andou meant, she tries her best to. She even remembered all that names Andou mentioned.

kickmesign said:
I like how Andou kept the same face through the entire thing just frozen, and it took him a moment to realize what happened haha


Who wouldn't? I was there frozen, surprised that Hatoko would snap like that. I really salute Hatoko though, she was able to keep calm all these years. I tried holding back to the person I hate (although this is a different kind of problem) a few times, it only lasted 1-2 years till I start raging.
Not that I hate Andou or anything, his chuuni just made him basically clueless.

Tomoyo snapped, must be Andou. Andou awaken the true Tomoyo. Well I'm impressed with the seryu, she have to read the whole thing in one go. Two minutes and 30 seconds of lines, and she did it perfectly. Hayami Saori IMBA.
But she has a point, "You won't understand" really does pissed someone off.

My favorite episode so far,
so Hatoko and Andou were childhood friends,
wow she completely lost it, but i saw it coming from the way Andou
treat her and after watching him go and talk with Tomoyo will ignore her
like this and leave her behind, when Andou invite her to is home
she thought she finally have a chance with him and she look so happy but then...
I almost cry for her :(

i thought this anime going to be a pure comedy,
wasnt expected something like this :P

the ending were also a surprise,
More people with powers - Kiryuu vs Andou next episode (lets hope so).

Kudos to Hayama Saori, a great performance there.

The scene went on just a little longer than it should have, breaking the atmosphere, but the show has suffered from quite a few bumps so it's not that surprising. Also, could someone punch the MC in the face for me please? Thank you.

Ow a plot twist, Andou was bad with Hatoko in this episode, leaving her side and always saying she would not understand, he deserved that slap of Tomoyo, poor Hatoko, lost and captured by strangers

It seems that more people with powers appeared, the plot gave a big leap in this episode ..

I had one problem on the scene with Hatoko rant. They did not show Andou without that one expression on his face, like as if all he could think of was "What is happening right now?" It's like he didn't feel guilt or any truth to those words. Maybe it wasn't in the budget, but that scene felt and looked important. So yeah, other than that, really liked this episode *(Imo)*

Hatoko with her rant was so long and so annoying...
I couldn't wait when she will stop -.-

I hope Hatoko will be friend-zoned...
I usually prefer chilhood friends ship,
and usually when childhood friend is the best from all girl from me - she lose
when she is annoying for me, she win... -.-

Hope this series will don't go with that trope...

This was much heavier than the show has been so far, pretty jarring but I guess it shoulda been expected. The supernatural battles are gonna start...honestly I woulda preferred a more relaxing slice of life tone throughout the series so I'm hoping this conflict doesn't take all of the remaining episodes.


Yeah, it's interesting that they've brought in (a) "classic" superpower show villain(s) and an escalation in the number of superpower fights which the show has avoided up till now. I hope the villains aren't just your " 'classic' superpower show villain(s)" and they can put an interesting twist on the situation; otherwise it probably won't make much sense or impact. Can't help but wonder how this will turn out.

Hatoko went on a major rant right there. This was a good episode.


Despite my shock at what happened this episode, I have to agree. I didn't see it coming (well, I did, but not this soon)... anyways the dramatic rant was pretty good and you could totally feel that one coming. I mean he was just blowing her off! I was hoping she'd give him a piece of her mind. This also seems to give a much better and different perspective on her relationship with Andou. It also means we won't be getting some cliche, dramatic love triangle conflict any time soon (which I thought they'd put some kind of interesting spin on this episode... but obviously that didn't happen.) Anyways, she went at it for quite a while. Damn, you can tell she's been thinking this over a lot. She didn't just scream "baka" and run out the door so that's always a plus.

8 pages of comments... damn I'm not going through all of those...

Hatoko's rant! O_O Don't get me wrong, I was expecting her to snap, but geez. I had to pause the video about half-way through it all to catch a breather. Haha That was pretty intense.

It looks like Hajime is finally about to unleash his plan. I was waiting for this moment to happen. I have no idea what his plan is, but it certainly seems pretty interesting.
