| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Idk how I feel about the glasses girl, she seems kinda conservative. The pacing is slow for this series although I kinda like Chika for her fun personality. Meanwhile, we do find out more about Miyo's family like her brother. On another note, I do find Haruta to be wise with his haughty thinking. Still not feeling the mystery aspect of this show yet though. The classic rubix cube stuff isn't something new I've seen before. "You've solved it" ~  |

| The solution was heartwarming, nice moment. But the lead up was boring. |
| That Narushima has a rotten attitude, but very nice tits...evens out I guess. :D Plus her tragedy involving her brother gives her a little slack. Solution to the puzzle was just okay, but I did enjoy seeing Haruta get smacked around. :D Chika cute as usual. :D |
| Solving Puzzle and with Deadline, Haruta sure is one "Evil Genius". So it means that Miyoko is the next Member of Brass Band Club. |

| Can't believe there's so much generic harem bullshit that gets rated far higher then this, the solution and the reason behind it was glorious and I love the eyes, the creative characters and the unique story, I've loved the puzzle-solving parts in both episodes. By far my favourite show of the season. |

| I'm not sure what to think about this show. I love smart characters, but Haruta is a little too smart. It's anticlimactic how easily he figures things out. I should probably stop expecting there to be any deep drama, and just continue enjoying the rapport between the characters, which has been nice so far. |
| So Huruta likes puzzles but he doesn't like his sisters from the sound of it. I wonder if they will be introduced at some point during the anime. Having one older sister i can somewhat understand Haruto tho when i entered highschool she had already left home so things where fine between us then since i saw her rarely. Now i speak her even less. Chika seems to be close to him but she also seems to have trouble dealing with him from time to time. It makes me wonder what will happen between them. |
| Is this going to end up being yet another episodic mystery show? I've had just about enough of that as of late.. |
  |
| I think Haruta might be a little too smart. Chika is pretty cute though |
| :) |
| It's me or art gotten much better and sharp than in last episode? And that funi's cancer translation, ehh :| San, Chan, Senpai = miss. I don't even talk about other liberalization. I think, I will wait for other subs starting from next week. Doki, pls. Btw, nice soundtrack. That track which played when they tried to solve that cube, pure awesomeness. |

aikaflip said: I'm not sure what to think about this show. I love smart characters, but Haruta is a little too smart. It's anticlimactic how easily he figures things out. Agreed. His random borderline know-it-all monologues were a bit much. So far, this show is slightly above average due to art and sound alone to me. I've seen a lot of people suggest that mystery shows are hard to screw up, but in reality I believe they're difficult to get right. |
| Beautiful episode, really enjoying it so far |
 |
| The story about Miyo's brother was really sad, but I'm finding difficulty liking Miyo. Hopefully she'll show more of her personality in the next couple of episodes. |
 |
| Better than the first episode. |
| When people said this would be a little like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson do music and love triangle around puzzles they weren't wrong. Haruta throwing random as heck facts about pineapples because why not, right? xD I'm watching this more for the characters than anything. The puzzle was better than last week, at least, but most def not the strength of the show at all. rsc-pl said: Wait for Daisuki.

| That was pretty good. Haruta is quite the smart guy damn. It's like he knows everything right now XD Chika's pout are cute and Narushima seems to be a good addition to the cast now without the emo. Dat double bitch slap tho. Probably a first for me. Usually it's just one lol |
 |
| Great episode. This show probably has the best OP and ED so far this season, I absolutely love them. Pouting Chika <3. The touching moments were nice, but wish it would've been a little bit longer to leave a little bit more impact. I freaking love Narushima's character design.

  |
| I love this anime already. I found myself caring for the characters since the very first episode and I really love Chika and Haruta's dynamic. This anime has such a nice, relaxing atmosphere to it. Next to ERASED, Haruchika is probably the anime I look forward to the most every week. |

| It's an odd combination, a music club and mystery element. Problem with one episode mysteries is, the full impact of the mystery doesn't get executed well. It was heart-warming I suppose but lacked the emotional punch I expected. You'd have to squeeze in character development, character motivation and mystery solving, all under 20 minutes. The build up to the episode was pretty slow but when the mystery portion kicked in, things sped up considerably. Haruta is pretty OP. |
| lol I feel like this show is gonna become Sakurako-san without bones |

| cool ep, but can we get a yaoi tag? hahaha, because like 20+ of my friends got tricked and dropped after first ep. |
| Like robots? Then watch getter robot :D |
| Nice puzzle solving imo. Overall good episode, better than the first one. 4/5 |
 |

| I don't like how Haruta being all Sakurako. Worse is he practically knew everything, not just bones. The solution was nice though. |
 |
| I loved this episode! The puzzle solving and the way they helped Miyo overcome her grief was so touching! This was a beautiful episode! Not sure why all the hate for it, when both episodes so far were fun and had some touching moments. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Damn. That was a good episode imo. |
| Maybe now people can stop trying to deny Haruta's gay after a confirmation that he's not interested in Chika at all. The puzzle was pretty neat too, even if I did go a lil "lol wtf" when he started painting the colours back on. Reminded me of taking the stickers off and sticking them back on as a kid. dany565 said: cool ep, but can we get a yaoi tag? hahaha, because like 20+ of my friends got tricked and dropped after first ep. Having a gay character =/= yaoi. I'd recommend telling your 20+ friends they're homophobes instead. |

| Fantastic second episode. So far my favorite anime of the new season. Loved the mystery this episode, thought it was clever. |
 |
| Hm yeah, not a huge fan of characters that know a lot of random facts, and I wouldn't mind if they explained why Haruta is so knowledgeable. But it's not a big problem for me here because there's so much that I like about this series so far. The answer to the puzzle was quite touching and meaningful, and it helped Narushima move on from her brother's death. What a smart and kind little brother. I almost shed a tear when Narushima took out her oboe and started playing it. The thing about oboists being a certain way was sort of weird though, although I do know how difficult it is to play and control that thing. And again, I love Haruta and Chika's interactions, they remind me of two of my friends who are quite savage to each other, but in a manner where it can only be seen in a relationship between two very good friends. As for people wondering if it's episodic, I'm pretty sure it will continue to be this way. The novels seems to have few mysteries in each volume. Also, this is quite the PA Works style, slice of life and more or less episodic. It's also directed by the same person as Tari Tari, no wonder the tone feels quite reminiscent of that anime. |

| that part about the pineapple...now Haru was just trying to be a smartass here. |
| I enjoyed this episode, a lot more than the previous one. The ending was quite heartwarming. The only problem for me is that I hope the puzzle-related problems won't become a repetitive thing that needs to be solved every episode. Or at least, the way they go about it. (Haruta solves every single mystery problem without a hitch.) Although, I am mostly watching it for the characters so I guess that won't be too much of a problem if that is the case. |

| I do not think the mystery was too hard to solve in the span of time they had. It seemed to progress really fast, but he didn't just solve it in a day. The greatest clue was the fact that the Rubik's cube was painted over (which was what Chika noticed first, the smell of it). Usually, things are painted over for a reason. And if you can't see the solution on the outside, it must be on the inside. At least that's my track of thought. But this is what I like about Haruchika so far; the mysteries seem complex, but once you know the truth, everything is clear and logical. There are no asspulls or things the characters could have never solved without the main character's plot armour. So far, Haruchika is succeeding at being a slice of life mystery show. I just love how sassy Haruta is. : P It's not the first time that there have been smartass characters in any media, be it novels, anime or other TV series (Sherlock, House MD, even the famous anime such as Death Note and Code Geass). It's just that the setting is lighter and different to these shows. What I also love is how Haruta is portrayed as an innocent and naive young boy in the posters and promotional art which is very misleading. Chika was cute as ever with her pouting, and the tragic story was suitable for a slice of life anime. I enjoyed this episode more than the previous one. I think what will be interesting to see is Haruta getting it wrong as some point which should lead to some drama afterwards. |

stand said: Leagues better than the first episode, it even looks nicer too. Glad I gave it another week's chance. Not sure if i'm sold on Haruta yet but he's quite the smartass. I'm a little bit invested now because I want to see how that works out for him, -and Chika is actually doing proper calisthenics unlike those try-hards in that KyoAni disaster. dany565 said: can we get a yaoi tag? hahaha, because like 20+ of my friends once the balls touch we can tag it yaoi and i'm guessing that 0+ behind the 2 is a typo thanks for the unwanted opinion... if you like it, than good for you... i didnt knock it down, or said it was bad... Just asked for a tag... |
| Like robots? Then watch getter robot :D |
| Haruta seems to know a lot, which takes away from the mystery a bit, but it was pretty unique. Not sure what to feel about Narushima yet. Alright episode. |
 |
NEKONEKOOO said: I CRIED. THAT WAS VERY HEART-WARMING exactly my thoughts oh my god i love narushima so much more than i thought i would. i also like how the mysteries in the story contribute to the progression of the plot unlike sakurako which just had an obligatory mystery of the week for the sake of being a mystery series. the cases here are very sentimental too which i can apprectiate. |
| Kinda boring so far. Hopefully they pace will quicken in the next couple of episodes. I'm not very interesting in the mystery part but I'm hoping for a Haruta x Chika development. It will be interesting to see how Haruta copes with his conflicting feelings. |
