| Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the show, but damn is it unbearably corny and cliché at times! The moment Rintarou said he was going to toilet for a moment (meaning Kaoruko was gonna stay alone) I immediately thought to myself. What will happen to Kaoruko? 1) Exactly 2 douches suddenly appear and try to hit on her? 2) Lost kid? It's just a law of nature at this point; and option #1 kind of already happened in episode 1 already. Ok, whatever right? "Lost kid" happens to show how caring this or that MC is, like he/she would make a great parent one day and bla bla bla. But that's not how it ends this time! The kid was unreal! Even though she's lost and with a scary looking stranger, alone, she suddenly starts acting like all those people who've been hyping this show from ep1! She starts fangirling over the couple like crazy! Her words felt so forced I was rolling my eyes. What's crazier is this: "Boy named X's smile makes me happy" - She talks about her classmate and suddenly Rintaorou realizes he loves Kaoruko!!! WOW... This random ass kid just saved us from 100 episodes of 0 progress!!! Apparently Rintarou would've stayed oblivious retard not figuring out he has feeling for kaoruko! "You're not a couple? You look like a couple." I mean, how many kids her age are obsessed with romance to the degree they "recognize" couples and stay persistent about it! And then at the end she keeps talking about them! "You 2 make a great couple!" - SHUT UP ALREADY!!! And she tells this secretly only to Rintarou because saying it to both of them would "ruin the progress" and make Kaoruko embarrassed. As if she knew!!! Who wrote this??? This would make a lot more sense if this was a supernatural show and the kid was a cupid in disguise or something. |
| After successfully making up with his three friends, Rintarou invites his friends to meet with Subaru and Kaoruko to—as we can guess—properly introduce themselves and basically apologize to each other. |
 |
| God I don't want to think about the animation cost for that dolphin show, Cloverworks must be loaded :} |
 |
| Why Shouhei is referring to his teacher as chan? Tsuka-chan???? he also the only one at this age who said "ore" when introducing ;o So much fitted in in this and previous episode and all great things! :O The date was great too, I think lost child is often used in this scenarios, so at first I thought I it would be great to prank the kid saying "well you never gonna find your parents again, maybe you can live with us or someone adopt you" :D Cruel right? :D The kid would cry for sure in an instant :D But I am happy they saw the night show and that the kid made Rintaro realise so all great it was boring or clithe. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Kaoruko's smile is the purest thing I've ever seen |
| They said "thank you" and "I'm sorry" each over four times in a single episode. This might be a masterpiece. |
| Rintarou and Kaoruko date at the aquarium was cute, especially with the lost little girl they helped sure even she thought they look good together xD beautiful way to end it with the dolphin show |
 |
| I feel like going to the Aquarium now too |
| First hang out with the whole gang! It's funny seeing Subaru being shy around the boys. She's cute now that she's trying to love herself. I want to see more of them all hanging out together. |
 |
| This episode almost made me cry with joy! I loved how well Rintarou's friends got along with the girls. Kaoruko and Rintarou were just too cute together on their date at the aquarium! The moment when they helped the lost little girl was really heartwarming and wholesome. Love how she indirectly helped Rintarou realize his feelings for Kaoruko. The dolphin show was an amazing scene too! The animation was superb! And that ending with Rintarou’s line? Simply magnificent! I'm loving this romance! |
| Waguri and Rintarou's relationship brought people from two opposing schools together to become friends. Who knows, maybe the endgame for this story are for both schools in their entirety to end the ongoing strife and to put aside their differences. They may have missed the first dolphin show. But Rintarou in particular received something priceless because of it: "I think you two make a good couple." Other romance: "Do I love her? I don't know, maybe? No way." Peak: "Do I love her.....? YES." |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| The cross-school friend group has been formed lets go! I still really wanna see the friend with glasses though she is my favorite The aquarium was beautiful and Rintarou being called Rinny was just so adorable and cute Can we talk about the quality in that dolphin show shot, Cloverworks you have left me speechless once again as always Kaoruko Supremacy  |
Uhhhhh...I like anime so deal with it. Anyways whatever you just read...I really meant it (✿◠‿◠)  |
| bro this is s good its just peak after peak and the dolphin show was cool and well animated |

why do chu think that is~?
Few LN readers on MAL is the only reason I can think of~
Most of the LN/WN readers I know use NU as their main source~

Eh, there is nothing interesting on my heritage~
My paternal side is a Peranakan while my maternal side is well… peasants… Nothing interesting~
Why do keep asking for my personal information? Instead of other millions of users on MAL? XD

Don't know, I question why you approach a sci-fi fan like me instead of other MAL users~

Not sure why you said goodbye~
I mentioned I will visit MAL rarely, not abandon MAL.
I barely use MAL because its database is lacking, news is slower than my own sources, and a lot of toxic people that do not engage in civil discussions. But I still use it sometimes~
I have mentioned multiple times, if you need a romance fan to discuss with, join the LN/WN Discord server I invited you months ago, approach the romance fan I mentioned, tell him that you are into romance genre and he will treat you as a nice reading buddy. :)
You should not be approaching a sci-fi fan like me~
Majority of the sci-fi fans nowadays are a bunch of elitists who looks down on other people~
I think I have seen the Zarutaku guy a few times in SNK and MT forums, must be hard to interact there considering how toxic those fanbases are~
Never interacted with him before~

Is there something happening next Thursday other than an anniversary for some New York City disaster?
To think of it, I have not written my thoughts on My Fragrant Flower anime episode 9~
Maybe I should write my thoughts on that episode in the next few days. Will be hard to write, considering I have to explain why I decided to drop the anime, and I have no intention to read the manga~

| Asking for a date when asked if he can do anything for her. The first date at the aquarium. They run into a lost kid, who thinks they make a good couple. Girl smiles, "I had so much fun today!" It feels like I've seen this exact scenario so many times. Yeah, it doesn't have to be original, but there's just like nothing interesting going on here. I want to just sit here and enjoy the sweetness, but it's hard sometimes... |
| I cannot wait to finish this anime. It seems like Subaru has accepted Rintaro and the others! Nice Not Rintato finding out about love through a kindergarten. That's hilarious. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
