| Hanako trying to resolve this mystery takes an interesting turn. I'm kinda seeing a character rivalry between him and Kou here. Watching this episode shows that he does have more to learn but still has plenty of time for growth. This clock mystery really added a lot of personality to the arc as a whole imo. |
 |
| I’ve always thought about this, but why do their names have to be this similar lol. We know the guy is head over heels for the girl, but yeah, that doesn’t mean they had to go that far to remind us, right? Also yeah, dude is one of the seven wonders who can stop time, because once he wished for it sooo wholeheartedly that… those powers became his own, yeah. As simple as that lol. Though yeah, when this thing around time started I actually thought we’d go a bit deeper with some time paradox or sort, but nah, this series always does its stuff at surface level. That bit about Mirai touching Nene and she not growing older actually made up for a good revelation. Though yeah, we know she won’t die in just a coming year, because reasons, and I mean they’re already onto that as well. Good to see though, at least Akane isn't just a simp. |

| hanako and kou might be rivals now wtf the clock mystery sure made this arc unique nice still lotsa time for him to grow though not much depth |
 |
| Well that was a way better and easier resolution to things than I expected! Turns out Akane not evil after all. Also, Aoi definitely likes him and is just teasing him with all the rejections, lol. That flashback was a nice way of fleshing out their relationship and showing how Akane became an apparition. Whereas I thought we’d have a fight between Hanako and Akane today, it was a chill talk if it out situation. But wtf do you mean Nene only has a year left to live?? Don’t mess with my heart!! Hanako talking about he’s already dead so he don’t care who lives and dies, yea yea mf you better protect Nene though or we’ll have problems lol 👍 They need to keep better wraps on Mirai too so she don’t get in more trouble lmao. Her bad ass needs constant supervision before she puts everyone in the future. Fun episode! Ready to get into new content, though. This arc chronologically took place before season 1 ended. |

| I'm already dead. Who lives and who dies doesn't matter to me anymore. Ouch. Right in the kokoro. Hanako's disenchantment with life is always hiding there in corners of his mouth in every smile, in the veil of his every dirty thought (lmao erogaki indeed) - this might be where it shines through it all the strongest. And holy fck if it isn't relatable. As always in this series: exceptional voice acting jobs across the board, but especially on Hanako. That range is nothing short of incredible. |
| Oh man what a huge bombshell hanako kun just dropped. It will be fantastic to see how the humans, exorcists and all ghosts and Apparitions all work together to save yashiro from her fate. |
| The turning point of the whole series has finally arrived: from now on, the real TBHK starts, IMHO. I gave a second chance to the anime adaption just for this, since the way they handled things in 1st season got me kinda disappointed. But here, the pace and the atmosphere of this whole episode were handled quite well, and I don't know if the OST is still the same as 1st season, but it was actually good and worked great this episode. Even if the color palette has never been my piece of cake (I think they stuck way too much with the manga, they could have been way more creative), if they go on like this, this season has big chances to surpass the 1st one. Stay tuned, folks ^^ Also, Mirai is just so cute, made my heart melt! |

| Wow, wasn’t expecting such a big bombshell dropping like Nene having less than a year to live in a goofy arc like this lol, but man this is sad, I can’t imagine the funny daikon girl having such a sad fate awaiting her, but I did like the connection to how she was able to contact Hanako in the first place, the fact she’s close to death already allowed her to. And it’s also wild to find out this arc was skipped in Season 1, this seems like quite the important one so I can see why some folks may have been upset before lol, but imo it really works as the first arc to Season 2, this adds a whole new layer to the story. I also really liked how Kou refused to give up and let Nene die, and I’m with him, they live in a world where ghosts exist and have their own pocket dimensions, surely there’s a way to turn her destiny around lol, and this ended up giving Kou and Akane a reason to be friends which I liked. And speaking of Akane, looks like he’s not a complete wonder but instead in a contract kind of like Nene is with Hanako, I liked getting the backstory for how that happened too, it’s really sweet that he’s using that power to protect Aoi, if only she’d return his feelings lol, although it’s possible she does like him and is just fucking with him. And I enjoyed the chase to capture Mirai too, I just watched “Beyond the Boundary” which also has a girl named Mirai so funny timing there, and she’s absolutely adorable, but she had to be caged back up because turning the whole school into senior citizens isn’t gonna fly lol. So I guess in the end this means Aoi wasn’t one of the clock keepers after all, I still think it’s likely she’s connected to a wonder somehow but that’s something for later I guess, I do wonder what she wanted to tell Nene tho. Strong opening arc to Season 2! I hope they go back for more skipped arcs but if they end up moving on from here that’s fine too, really I’m just happy to be back in this series again. |
| Here I was thinking how much fun the episode has been and then they just drop on us that truth bomb, I liked how it wasn't overly dramatic but showed how much Kou and Hanako feel about it. |

| @Softhenic03 i think their names being so similar is meant to be a joke bc if they got married (like the guy wants them to) they would either be named Aoi Aoi or Akane Akane and thats supposed to be funny or sumthing |
 |
| Holy shit that was some crazy bomb. |
| Another great episode! I laughed so much and even teared up with the revelation about Yashiro's life. AAAAH the way Hanako conceals his plans to save her are so heart wrenching |
 |
| One of my early season 1 theories confirmed /pours one out. I mean it makes sense but poor Nene |
| I'm speechless omg, poor Nene!! I'm sure we're going to see her end when this story finishes, then? 🥲🥲. Kou remembering Mitsuba made my heart ache 😭😭, I love these 2 waaay too much, no matter the amount of episode(s) they were together... And now he wants to try and save Nene with Akane. That makes me think about time traveling, and I can't stop thinking about Madoka and Steins Gate 🥲🥲 |
 |
| Now I’m sad, that whole thing with Yashiro was so unfair, poor girl. |
| Our Tsundere Queen is in her mid-40s and still popping out voices like Mirai's. Well damn that got dark. I actually said a deadpan "Oh no she died" out loud when Yashiro fell over but I didn't think I was that over the target. |
| It got too tragic out of a sudden. I fear it'll get worse (better) in the coming episodes 😭 |
| That was a shocker.... |

| Expected a goofy little arc filled with fun time-manipulation shenanigans, got the hardest plot reveal instead. |
| Grown up Kou is cool, but now I wonder what is supposed to happen to Nene soon in the future if she only has like 1 year of living time left :S But hopefully they can still change that |
 |
| this episode reveal sadness in future for yashiro chan !! this arc gonna be so deep and painful |
| Nene has less than a year to live! kekeke |
| dammit, i really didn’t expect it |
| ZA WARUDO !!! Also Mirai is too cute. |
| Still can't believe it, and so high quality too. So many warm memories from S1. Our precious girl is in trouble, let's see where this goes I guess. It's such a big deal after all this time, truly surprising. Dub is grrreat! |
