Wow ...no sex on the pool table. :)

Anyways it was inevitable for her to become a 'model' cant wait to see what happens next.
TBH the story isn't whats drawing me to the show but the art is just so ridiculously detailed i just don't want to miss a single minute of this!.

"What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us.

indeed, tht bit surprised me, and reminded me tht theres more to this anime (i.e. complex character relationships etc.)
yeah, it was pretty predictable she was guna become the model - or else theres no more storyline huh!

It looked like she was expecting George to kiss her right before he made the comment about the lipstick.. foreshadowing maybe?

To be honest, this anime bores me.. but every so often I'll have nothing better to do and give it another shot. It's only ~20mins an ep anyway, so who knows, maybe I'll suddenly end up liking it and marathon through to the end.. I just can't sit through more than one episode at a time or I fall asleep, thus far.

AGREEEEEED!

I still need to get used to the art but the character chemistry is just awesome and I don't really feel like I'm watching an anime at all.

ZOMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since the 1st min of the show I though it reminded me stomething...on the 10 min I remembered what it was eminding me of....

I totally feel the atmosphere of "Snakes and Piercing" by Kanehara Hitomi...The air, realtionships, people, feeling and atmosphere even the char's personalities...It's all the same...

I love it!!!! :3

Did not see that one coming. Never would've guessed they were dating..I wonder about the boy that Myazawa(?) -still catching names- pink haired girl was sitting with at the coffee shop in the OP.

Would've been too soon for them to kiss anyways^^ I've gotta say I am enjoying this, the art hooked me. Very detailed and different.

-Also, purple haired "girl" is definately a guy. Anyone else think so..?

... Did not even occur to me that Arashi and Miwako might be dating. Guess Miwako seemed too childish for that sort of thing upon first glance, but obviously not!

Yukari's becoming a model was predictable, but hey, whatever keeps the series rollin'... :P Not sure whether I should hope for a Yukari and George pairing or a Yukari and Hiroyuki pairing...

Nahh you've got to be patient.
I waited 37 episodes in Kimi Ni Todoke and there wasn't a kiss.
50 episodes of Eureka Seven before the kiss scene.
500+ episode of Naruto and I don't think he will ever kiss anyone but Sasuke.

So a couple episodes of this is nothing.

I'm liking this anime a lot.

I thought that pool table scene was weird but then I remembered Miwako isn't a kid XD

I liked this episode a lot better than the first. The point is much more clearly in view. I think I'll be sticking with it after all.

Arashi is really lucky having a cute girlfriend like Miwako. I know that he is also a cool (and cute) guy though lol ...

I see George is a man of culture, enjoying foreign books through the images

Damn this new generation is pretty daring compared to the generation from the prequel, didn't expect that

Does anyone know that song playing in the background when miwako and arashi were making out on the pool table?? I think it's the same song in episode 6 as well when yukari was with george in the ending.

Love the attention to detail going on here (Yukari twitching when her little brother asks for a bribe, background characters turning their attention to Miwako standing up and slamming her hands on the table, Yukari knocking multiple times before entering the studio). Adds a lot more life into this world

I feel like the pacing is a bit stilted and jokey bits are awkward. Too many slide scene transitions too lol. But I still enjoyed it, it's charming even with it's wonkiness. I like things with sort of punk/alt vibes, and the characters seem promising. Miwako is likeable with how she's cutesy and sweet but not overly innocent or naïve. And George seems interesting too.

Finally she accepted to be a model for them, seems like love is starting strong (not to mention the other ones doing it on the pool table)

3 short lines ---> transition ----> 2 lines of dialogue ----> transition
Who is this pacing for? ADHD teens?
