| My god, is this show dull. Everything is so tedious and slow and dragged out. It feels like it's trying to go for a laid back vibe but it's not a laid back story; you can't be laid back about changing your entire existence and saving a guy's life. They could definitely afford to up the pace a little... This probably would have been better as a movie/shorter series at this rate. On another note, Naho only becomes increasingly annoying over time. Her personality isn't terrible, she just doesn't fucking have one. Everything about her is just a wet blanket mess and all her character traits thus far have made her nothing short of unbearable. She's apparently so easily swayed by simple affection (despite having a large friend group she's very close with) that she falls in love with a guy after speaking to him twice... and then later screams at him that she's basically going to mother him, which comes across as pretty damn creepy. She barely knows him! Then there's the fact that she was too stupid to actually read the letter she got. She let it fester for two whole weeks, even after seeing that it was TRUE! At that point, you'd either tear it up in fear and try to forget it happened or you'd read the entire thing immediately. But Naho's such a boring waste of space that she literally doesn't do anything. In fact, I'm not sure exactly what it is that she does in general! This girl apparently doesn't have a single damn hobby, a single interest, a single actual aspect to her character that isn't just "I like Kakeru" or "I regret every single thing that ever happens to me to the extent that I remember dull shit about high school lunches when I'm 27 years old and a new mother". I'm starting to genuinely wonder why anyone she knows hangs out with her. |

It was so distracting, I couldn't concentrate on what the characters were saying for the first half of the episode... Edit: Just read the thread comments. Kitsu-nee said: Btw, am I really the only one, who thinks that music in background is too loud? I see no comments about that, and it's a serious problem imo, if not for subtitles I don't think I'd be able to understand what they are talking about. And it's not just one scene, it's happening constantly. coasteringkid said: The music is so damn loud and it's really bothering me. Great to know it's not just me. :| I hope they fix this by next ep. I noticed that, too. I don't quite remember if the same thing happened in the first episode or not, though. But it was more remarkable in this episode :// |

| Gee girl, you've known him for two weeks and you're already heads over heels in love with him and making his lunch boxes and everything, calm down I like how they handled the "My momma is dead" moment though |

why is she so nervous because of a bento? shit man his mom is dead  |
 |
| I always have issues with romance like this. First, she clearly marries Suwa and has a kid later. So does she just fall in love with everyone super fast? She fell in love with Kakeru after just a few combined hours of contact. Hard to believe. But then in the future she falls in love with Suwa, marries and has a baby just a few years after Kakeru dies? She seems "easy" in a non-sexual way lol. Bigger problem for me though really is that, not having read the source at all, I feel like this isn't about stopping an "accident". Why would they need to start changing stuff from this early on? If it was an accident you should only need to change that one day. "Keep an eye on Kakeru" and other such lines make me think If I'm right, then they hinted at this far too early for me. Having it be a surprise would've been far more entertaining and would've built up more "Feels". I probably won't be able build up any "feels" when they reveal what happens,if I'm right, because of how obvious it is so early on. Can they make me care enough about Kakeru to actually feel anything when they reveal? I doubt it. My 2nd biggest issue is that right now Kakeru feels like a typical "shoujo" love interest. Quiet guy with bland personality yet for some reason MC loves him after just a few hours of knowing him. Never understood that in shoujo. |
 |
| This episode hooked me a lot better than the first one did. Cool direction and character animation aside, I kinda like Naho's character now though I'm still on the fence regarding the others. Also, I'm very skeptical about the story because I dont like the premise (I'd much prefer it without the whole letter from the future - erasing regrets thing), but still could turn out good depending on which direction it takes. Overall, this show is pretty interesting. |
| Beautiful show, I can sense the feels train coming though :( |

I assumed he lasted a few, since the seemed to care a lot about him. People barely knowing him before he dies making such a big deal about it 10 years later seems awkward, so I assumed he lasted longer than 1 year. I still disagree with her falling in "love" that fast. That's not "love" most of the time. Just infatuation or lust. Barely anyone ends up with their high school sweethearts and she seems like she's still in love 10 years later despite being married and such (lol so mean to Suwa). It's just hard to believe. Romance stories are more enjoyable when they're more believable. Nice to her often enough? They've literally had less than a dozen conversations lol. Normally I'd say "I guess they didnt show their other interactions" but They make it very clear we've seen 100% of their interactions. |
|
| I don't like the art style 100% but I still enjoyed the episode. The animation was OK. It needs some improvement. But good episode nonetheless. |

I didn't say it happened this year or another, but certainly it's been enough years for her to fall in love again, I guess. When it's revealed, you can tell me whether it's enough in your opinion :D Kougeru said: I still disagree with her falling in "love" that fast. That's not "love" most of the time.

Normally I'd say "I guess they didnt show their other interactions" but They make it very clear we've seen 100% of their interactions. Sure, I agree that it's not "love" per se, more like a crush or something. But having crush on someone can be a really strong feeling, especially when it's probably her first time - that's why she could confuse it with actual love. I'm also not a big fan of that trait in shoujos either, so I just imagine that they say "love" but mean "attraction", or something like that. I know how you feel about it not being believeable, but that's how shoujo manga/anime work - after all, main demographic for it are girls in middle school and high school, which are crazy about their crushes, dates, things like that. And I totally get how you feel about adult Naho - I also dislike how she was all about Kakeru, when she has her husband and their baby next to her... That's just sad :< They could have at least show more of their interaction when they were alone. |
| |
| Another okay episode I guess. Kakeru's mother committing suicide wasn't surprising at all. It's pretty obvious Kakeru will also kill himself. I really hope they don't keep showing us the future versions of the characters. I find it rather off-putting but maybe that's just me. It also seems like Suwa has feelings for Naho. Can't say I'm looking forward to it. I hate love triangles most of the time, especially when the heroine is indecisive. |
 |
| Quality sure dropped fast lmao |
| I’m pretty fond of how Naho is putting some kinda effort to try to break free from her current state of shyness with the help f her future self thru those letters. I hate that Kakeru isn’t alive in the future though. There is so much wrong with that. Naho from the future should use spoiler tags in her letters, really… [j/k] I guess from now on Naho must try to find a way to avoid that from happening by finding more about Kakeru while trying to overcome whatever other personal inner problems she might have, thus, if successful, altering her current future. For some reason, I don’t expect the story to explain us how is she suddenly getting those letters from the future though. Maybe she has a dormant ability to leap thru time that we don’t know. Compare to the first episode, there was a clear drop in quality in different several spots (something that usually doesn’t bother me, but for some reason it did here), but it is what it is…. Having 17 different animation directors working on a single episode is never a good thing (if that was indeed the case here, as some mentioned), even less this early into the series. I really hope the quality doesn’t drop that much throughout the rest of the series, that’s all. I’m still enjoying the series and looking forward the next episode. |

| Amazing, not bored a singel second. Kakeru's sometimes sad face was for this, eh? This one gonna be so sad~ the feels are building up (⊙﹏⊙✿) |
 |
| OMG HER BABY is so flippen cute i can't!! the little bear thing omfg!!! Idk if i want her with Kakaru or the other other guy becuz the baby is so cute :3 |
| The first part of the episode was really slow, I was almost ready to drop it. But the second part made up for it, it was pretty shocking to find out that Kakeru's mom died because she didn't do what the letter told her... though, I guess even if Kakeru returned home earlier he might not have been able to save his mom. But at least this gave Naho the push to finally give him the stupid bento. |
| So much love for this series, I'm completely blown away. Personally, I disliked this episode even more than the first. For one, the MC is hopelessly boring. She is so timid that she barely talks to anyone, and when she does talk it never serves to build up what her personality is, if she even has one. She is so indecisive, is that supposed to be something that people relate to? She struggles to make any decision, I understand being nervous when dealing with a crush but I've never seen anyone spend so much time being paralyzed by how embarrassing it is. It doesn't help that this anime regularly freezes on a character's face for way too long with nothing happening. If it had just revealed something that really made me feel something or need to think about something, sure, show the character's reaction and give me time to process it. But up until Kakeru said his mom died, this series has been nothing but small talk, there's nothing to think about! In the first episode they were joking about that one girl's nickname and stuff, and then they all stopped and laughed for what felt like forever, and then Kakeru said something about it being funny, and they all laughed some more. In this episode, they made a joke about one character getting money from his mom to pay for lunch, and they laughed for a solid 10 seconds without anything significant happening. Why? That wasn't something that's funny for me, the viewer. Why do I have to watch them laugh at a joke for so long? Also in the first episode, there was that weird montage with the jarringly loud and out-of-place music. In this episode there was no montage, thankfully, but they still had that one scene when she was anticipating giving Kakeru the lunch she had made, and every few seconds it randomly flashed an image of her bag or her brain-dead face or something like some kind of subliminal message, why? Nothing about the mood of that conveyed that there was a rise in tension, it was just throwing images at me and panning the camera around while teachers were talking. And in general, the music seems to convey maybe what the characters are feeling, but as they've been presented, I haven't been able to notice much of any personality in any of them and the music doesn't seem to reflect the mood that they're portraying to me because like I said, they don't seem to have any personalities with which to convey any mood. That soccer guy was certainly loud and talked more than most of the characters, but it also spent a lot of time randomly focusing on his face as he looked at some character or another and I end up having no idea what kind of person he is. Overall, everything feels like it happens a beat too early or too late, it doesn't feel organic at all. That all said, I tried reading the first 2 chapters of the manga, and I have to say I prefer it. Being able to take it at my own pace is great, scenes in the anime that are dragged out for 20 seconds or more are a single panel in the manga, I can read the first 2 chapters in under 10 minutes while the first 2 episodes take roughly 46 minutes, covering the same amount of material. I think this adaptation suffers from improper pacing, not even in terms of the story progression, but in terms of conversations and showing their faces and stuff. Seriously, they spend so much time just showing someone's face with no indication that they're thinking about anything in particular, and I certainly am not thinking about anything in particular because nothing in particular just happened or is currently happening while they show a face. If anyone reads and responds to this comment though, am I just not the target demographic? If I was a timid high school girl with low self-esteem, would I relate and feel really tense during the moments when nothing seems to be happening? I want to know if there's anything I can do to change my perspective to enjoy this anime, otherwise I'll have to drop it despite all of the praise I see for it in these forums. |
| naho is ruining this anime for me, why is she like this |
| The music placement is seriously driving me insane. Why do they keep playing the background music louder than the actual conversations? They're aware that when you do that, you as a storyteller are telling the audience that the conversation isn't really that important, right? They did it during consecutive scenes too! I don't know what to take away from these scenes when they place the soundtrack in confusing ways! |
| This episode quite amazing. |
danieltortoisee said: As good as everything else is in this show, I find Naho to be extremely annoying, particularly her future self and how damn vague she is with her letter to the current Naho. Like, how will making him lunch prevent his "accident". And if it's a suicide that she's referring to, which is what I'm expecting, why say it's just an "accident" rather than say exactly what happened? After all, how is current Naho supposed to save Kakeru if she doesn't know the truth about what he needs saving from? Oh well, at least they're developing things well so far, so I can't complain too much. Future Naho (do correct me if I'm wrong) never really referred to it as an "accident". She just said that he wasn't with them ten years from now. As a manga reader, I'll just say that the future is still unpredictable no matter how you try to change it a certain way. Future Naho, I'm guessing, wants Naho to still form a bond herself, learn things on her own way too. Because who knows, if she knew at this point, maybe she'd try to deter Kakeru in a reckless way, causing even more damage. |
you don't win alone. that's just how it is.  |
IncendianFire said: I'm really loving this adaption! Gotta get those tissues ready for the later episodes! This series always made me happy and sad at the same time. It was sad to hear about Kakeru's mom. Atleast Naho gave the lunch this time around. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
ReLife was very good. The only problem is that the Webtoon/Manga is still ongoing so the anime couldn't give closure. |

| I definitely loved this episode. The pacing couldn't have gone any better for this weeks episode. By the pace this anime is going at this rate, there is probability there may be a second season. However, no episode comes without its flaws. What I didn't like about this episode is that some of the background music in some scenes were a bit overbearing making it hard to hear what the characters had to say. And, some use of the background music were a bit unnecessary IMO. There's subtitles, who cares right? Right. For the animation however, it is still sort of rough as for the beginning of the episode. But as the the episode went on, the animation suddenly became fluid all of a sudden in the second half of the episode. But however, animation was beautiful. And, for the transition, some scenes could use some work as well. But overall, I rate this second episode of Orange an eight out of ten. |

| Oh god something I can't stand is when people go on and on about something they dislike in a show when it isn't even true. So for everyone talking about how Naho is selfish for basically erasing her current baby and husband in favor of saving Kakeru, I'm just gonna put this spoiler here just in case you want to really know what the deal is ; |

toncue12 said: Overrated show so far, like Erased was too. Great OST, great art and animation, but with a thin ( and recycled?) plot and characters clichés. A foreshadowed depthless story. We cannot expect anything more from a Shojo. Shigatsu was more efficient in everything, back then in 2014. Comparing their respective female lead (Kaori and Naho) is like putting a buttefly beside an ant. On the other hand it lacks the poor humor of Shigatsu and the sometimes awkward inconsistent tone/vibe. The characters may be thin so far but they are realistic and believable, plus it's not like Shigatsu didn't have its fair share of chichés either... |
 |
| Much better episode than the first one. Still not 100% sold on the way that naho has been adapted though. |
| I already know the whole story, but as expected when it comes to animated, ahhh even tho feels anime can make me cry so much but I still watching it anyway. feels train in every episode. lets enjoy it all, crybaby. |
| The feels started to develop! Well, I really love it so far, they did a great work with art and the plot is certainly interesting and the relationship between the two main leading character is really lovely. Definitely looking forward for the next episode! |
| I swear, this has to be the first time I've seen an anime dad be relieved that his daughter is interested in a boy, usually they're livid. :D |

Iso808 said: In end of episode 2 naho had a baby with suwa? But wants her teen self to save kakeru the one she loves? What about her life now, and suwa and the baby? Yea, that's what I'm wondering about. But we don't know how 'time' works in this show. There's a possibility if u change the past u wouldn't change the 'future' coz the changed past would lead to a different 'time line' and won't connect to that specific 'future' or something, so an alternate world with different future is created. Hmm, not sure lol. Have to wait more episodes. |
| Omg literally crying. Bento scene and his reveal of his mother and his death😭😭 |
| I love this anime already! |
 |
| Mixed feelings for this episode, both joy and sadness. Just like the first episode beautiful animation for gloomy atmosphere and the sound suit also. I like the bonding of them, and that 10minutes or so Suwa holding Kakeru's hand. Well so much revelations on this episode. Felt sad for both Naho and Kakeru, Naho being still repeat her regrets and Kakeru's mom died. Wondering if Naho could save him, I'm feeling an Anohana vibe. |

| That moment when he said why he missed classes...damn i wasn't expecting that. So they can save him!!! I really hope they do, i don't want more feels xD But if Naho will save him she probably won't marry Hiroto and won't have a kid with him....can't wait to know how this will end. I just hope that i won't be spoiled. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Realistic as to the feelings part, and the character development is actually really going along. I wasn't expecting the reason to not invite him on the ceremony was about his mother too. I really hope that Kakeru dying 10 years into the future changes because I'm going to bawl if that happens. Although it said he died in a accident, I'm wondering why she didn't state in the letter how he died. |
| I think the animation is a little odd and rushed. I prefer the manga way more. |
| Me: "Well, I guess nothing too terrible happened to Kakeru on the open ceremony, I mean if it were a matter of life and death, surly her future self would have put it in her letter-" Me: "Oh..... wow, wasn't expecting that...." So yeah, after seeing ep I am really wondering WHY her future self was SO vague when telling her past self to "Not invite Kakeru. Seriously." I mean, a LIFE was on the line, would it have hurt to write a few more sentences explaining why not to invite him? I mean, she is pretty specific on the other letters of what to do and what she wished she had done and why, but when a person life is on the line? "Meh, I'll just tell her 'seriously' and surly she will take me seriously! No details needed!" Just.... what? |
