Myself; Yourself

I'm not quite sure what's the purpose of the newly introduced character. The age gap is too huge to be a serious romantic interest (it's creepy), but I can't see any intersection in the plot. Unless you have time and truly enjoy the entirety of the show, give it a go. But if not, it won't matter.

Even though I don't appreciate the sexist joke, but this arc is interesting. Not only that it's a lighthearted story, but I think it teases a deeper plot between Sana, Nanaka, and Hoshino. I'll watch the next episode to find out this one.

This episode started to tease about more complicated nature behind Nanaka's cold behavior and Sana's past memories about their relationship. Since the plot is anchored based on Sana's POV, it's clear that the romantic sparks is there a between these two main characters.

This is a great pilot that entices me to continue watching the rest of the episodes. As it's implied from the title and poster, it combines both melancholy and comedy of slice-of-life drama. However, I don't really appreciate some gender bias bit (but it's very common in anime so I guess I'll have to take it). Overall, it's a good watch. Recommended!

I mean, they did manage to wrap up everything surprisingly well towards the end. So, I will give it points for that. For a 2007 anime, I'd say this was pretty okay towards the last few episodes. The few episodes at the start were just plain filler, quite awkward, and straight-up weird.

Aoi might be horrible at acting, but she's got a good heart for sure. I also love how both of the girls know Sana so well. With this ending, it looks like everything is gonna wrap up nicely in the final episode. I'm a little concerned about why Sana didn't say anything about his side of trauma, but I guess we might get something in the end..? maybe?

Didn't really see that twist coming, but it wasn't all that surprising, and there was a lot of unnecessary time spent mulling it over. This episode, however, might probably be the best episode so far, with the whole anime sort of coming full circle with that ending.

I personally feel like they've branched out the story in different directions; it's difficult to stay invested in one. The pacing has sped up so much, and it's a shame it wasn't evenly distributed throughout the episodes. We're now dealing with the twin story, plus the old woman, plus ptsd couple all at once during these last few episodes.

Omg, Sana and Nanaka can bond over trauma together. I also don't like how the two of them didn't really bother to discuss the outburst in the last episode until they were put on the spot by their friends. The pacing is better this episode, but it feels like they're revealing way too much towards the end.

Communication where? Nanaka doesn't make herself likeable by venting stuff at the wrong person, but Sana isn't much better with his obliviousness. Also, wow, I did not expect that big of a revelation after almost everyone being happy-happy for so long.

The pacing has peaked quite suddenly, and it feels a bit awkward, but it's better than constantly getting the 10yr old involved in the episode. Also love how it's assumed that only Sana, a male, should be a good gaming partner for the old man at the old age home. Also, misunderstandings go!

The initial part of the episode was a little weird. I kinda feel bad for Hinako with the mother that she has... cuz ain't no way a kid should barge into a house with a 16-year-old living by himself. The latter part was adorable, with the whole gang celebrating her.

Man, this was a pretty awkward episode, especially with the old lady and Nanaka. I preferred the second half of the episode: the way they depict festivals is almost always fun. The end of the episode was actually pretty good at making you curious about the village traditions, too.

This episode was just weird, with a character introduced just so they could have a whole "How do I get this guy to like me?" arc. I've also got to mention that this new character is a 10-year-old kid who contributes absolutely nothing to the story or the episode. Easy skip, imo. There wasn't anything I found remotely funny here either.

Wow, this episode really helped show how thick of a skull Sana really has, that is, if the interaction with him and Nanaka didn't make it too clear. It also looks like there's something up with him besides the thick skull. That looks like it's gonna be a fun situation once that can of worms is opened.

That slap was pretty damn crisp, ngl. That's what I liked about this episode, besides the bond Shuu and Shuri have. The stuff I can do without is unnecessary ecchi; like, the thing with the chopsticks was completely unnecessary. The preview for the next episode for the next episode already has me cringing.

The animation is pretty decent for it being a 2007 anime. The time skip honestly made the characters seem older than they actually are, and there are some pretty drastic changes so that felt a bit unrealistic. The plot doesn't seem to have established itself yet, so we wait ig.

We're finally getting a bit of background on Nanaka's past, the part we've all been waiting for! Though it's already the second-to-last episode, so I don't know if the transition for the last episode would be good. But so far, everything is going excitingly.

The parallelism in this episode is unmatched. The drama was still intense, but they made it poignant. Asami Hoshino was so multi-dimensional, it's insane! What a great episode.

This episode focuses on the Wakatsuki twins. The drama in this episode was intense, and so many things were happening all at once. But I do think this was a good episode.
