| This show's kinda depressing lol |

| I enjoy this series more and more with each episode. |
| This guy has the worst luck |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| And the people roaming these forums are dropping like flies... Me? I'm loving it and the concept isn't tiring at all, though it could possibly become repetitive if the entire series goes like this. |

| Cute episode, loved his "basket bike" Manami. The flight scene was classy as well. |
| If you're a man, then grab victory! Grab victory, and grab women's tits! |
| This guy has to be the unluckiest person ever. I felt for him ;) |
| Another misguided way waste two years, but he actually tried to improve this time and not go around sabotaging others bitterly, at least compared to previous times. He even starts, in a way, to forget he was joining the club just to realize his naive, misguided dream and was convinced that obtaining happiness through anything other than hard work would be shameful. In the end it's still the same misguided passion like every time, but less malicious. First he'd let Akashi pedal for him out of pity. Then he wants to pedal for Akashi. And in the end she's aiming for his raven haired dream girl again :D He really can't settle for anything for a man in such pathetic state. |
 |
| I get the impression that the author is trying to tell us that it is our own selves that influence our life events. Watashi keeps asking "who is the one responsible" and at first I thought it was Ozu's bad influence but in this run through, Ozu didn't have much of an influential role. However, he does keep repeating "No matter what you do, you'll end up like this" or something along those lines. It seems to me that the author is trying to convey to us that the circumstances can change the means but not the end result. |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| Well, despite Watashi continuing to end up in the same situation things do seem to be getting increasingly positive for him. At first, he joined the tennis circle and when that didn't work out he went straight to sabotaging the happiness of others with Ozu. Next, was the film circle but when things went bad there he first tried to make his own films before turning to tactics like slandering the club president. And this time around, he did not willing indulge in such negative behavior but rather tried to better himself and be more helpful to the Birdman club... of course it did not work out but at least he tried. Anyway, another good episode - and I forgot to mention this back on my episode 1 post but I really like the ED. |
| This anime is simply amazing. Another exhilariating episode made my day. I soo pity the main character who doesn't even have a name and has multiple lives, with each of them ending badly for him. The twisted plot is simply brilliant. Of course deserves 5/5. Without a question. I wonder what will happen next. |
 |
| No pedals.. haha.. And Ozu is always messing up this whole thing.. anyway, like it so far. |
| Another quite weird episode, although a quite nice concept this time, so lets see what's next! |
 |
| Another great episode, though I preferred last episode more. Funny how the villain of last ep. becomes a friend in this ep. |
 |
| excellent episode :) that's really fucked up on how Watashi spent 2 years building a cycle only to be stolen out of fucking nowhere. and wow that old fortune teller keeps raising the price every time XD so the roles can change, like how Jougasaki is now a helper of watashi :P and wow Watashi can't even stay idle like he always do whenever it is in the right time. Akashi in biker gear is awesome!! shame if only Watashi didn't become an idiot and just stayed the way he is. and why the hell didn't he removed the clothes Ozu put on to him? he's such a pansy. i feel like Akashi is giving him all the chance he can get, but doesn't have the guts to finally take it. just do her promise and man up for once! can't wait for more scenarios and episodes! more Akashi!!! |
| I don't think I'm ever going to get used to the ridiculous dialogue pace of his internal monologues. |

| Haha I love this show. It's like a mix of Welcome to the NHK! and Bakemonogatari, except it's better than them |

As long as you dont change the way you act the outcome will stay the same despite the circumstances. |
| Ozu is such a dick,lol That last scene with him flying was magnificent. |
| Nice flying scene. 4/5 |
| lol the hell |
| Just a few episodes in, and I already love this anime. Akashi with her hair back looked so good :) |
| Wow that really was s lot of wasted energy lol No promise this time... |
 |
| Stay the way you are....he didn't do that. He trained aka made the wrong decision. |
| The boob wall returns and Ozu is a dick xD. |

| I'm interested to see how the characters influence Watashi. I did notice the absence of a few moments, and phrases. And I think I like Akashi more and more each episode. |

| So it seems he has failed again. This is becoming kind of depressing, that moment when the key chain thing floated away was sad It was still a great episode, very entertaining, I'm loving this series so far I like that it deviated more from the formula of the last two episodes. |
 |
| This is such a great show! |
| Ozu and the match-making god might be the cause of all the depressing events that Watashi has to go through. |
pacuuuuu3 said: This show's kinda depressing lol At the end of each episode the main character is full of regret due to feeling like he's wasted these last two years of his life because he picked the wrong club. In each episode he picks a different club and screws up yet again each time. Then there's the fact that he fails to confess to Akashi and keep his promise every single time : / |
 |
| This has gotten boring. Done. |
  |
| Endless Eight Eleven anyone? nope. Im out. Ive seen enough. |
~my list
| "I put a lot of effort into enjoying wasting my college years." Damn, is that not me.. I'm still not very sure what kind of character Ozu is. |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
| This anime is finally pretty good, I love it Can't wait to see why he is rewinding his high school years |
 |
| Good job having this repeating time and space stuff and not being boring. |
| sup |
| Damn that Ozu, he didn't have to be a dick like that, still like him though, I see the relationship between the MC and Akashi is getting closer. It's nice to see the same set of characters playing different roles on each episode. I wonder if it continues the plane story or a different one on the next episode, and how they do it in the same timeline. |
| I couldnt stop laughing when he got ripped xD, the jokes come out of nowhere. Solid episode and Akashi is my fav so far. |
| Oh wow, this anime really keeps getting better and better, I'm sure loving this! |
 |
| i love ozu so much ouo |
| Hmm, despite how much praise this show receives I find myself not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Perhaps I'll enjoy it more further in the show. |
| I'm starting to see some patterns here...and I have to say Ozu must die. |
 |
| By episode 3 you think it would've grown repetitive but this series know what it's doing. I feel like these episodes are subtly progressing the plot. |
 |
| Noticed that the moth scene didn't appear this time. Ozu has also become a straight up villain but boob-obsessed man by contrast seems a lot nicer to the mc |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| I think I finally can see where this series wants to go to. There are similiarities between every episode, you could almost say each episode is a full reset of the MC choices he made on college. Along that Ozu seems to be a metaphor for the MC lazyness and slack, his negative emotions of not waiting to do anything... then you have Akashi that seems to be the polar oposite in a way, the light that shines on the MC that motivates him to keep going. After what I said above, I think anyone can join 2 + 2 and see where this is going towards, and I quite like this direction myself. I dont want to call it like each episode the world is reseting since some stuff seem to carry over from previous episodes, but it is clear each episode is trying to show out the choices available to the MC and the results from his decisions. |
