There's seem to be a couple of papers

Spoiler for Great ep:

+The send off scene is done very well, Mashiro looks like a wife sending her husband-Sorata- off, really touching.
+Lol at no pantsu Nanami
+The preview is hilarious, it is like Rita know what we will react when hearing her voice, "hey look at me"

Spoiler for Episode 8:

As Sorata prepares his essay to work for a video game company, something horrible causes him to worry about it. In order to calm himself down, he decides to have fun with his fellows while swimming at school's pool and watching over summer fireworks. Another great episode that mixes comedy and drama, and I especially enjoy the pool moments. We learn a bit more about the love triangle between Sorata, Mashiro and Nanami, and it was especially enticing throughout, particularly the firework scene which was absolutely beautiful, accompanying the ending theme that it was colorful to watch. Looks like the next episode will introduce a foreigner to the cast.

[tsunade666]

absolute wonderful episode.

A train wreck at the middle of the episode but its been forgotten at the end. Such beautiful fireworks and directing. This kind of stuff really suit JC staff.

Spoiler:

The letter arrives and Sorata was nervous on meeting the game company but the members of sakurasou helped him and even Mashiro give him a good luck charm. its really a wonderful part when Sorata was departing for the interview but he ended up getting a stage fright with his idol asking him question.
He ended up failing the interview but after he gets home there is Mashiro to help him up and Nanami should really do something with her feelings. The gang decide to do a swim on the pool to lighten up the mood and it ended up terrific experience for Sorata and he decided to move on and try again

Tsunderes are troublesome with their feelings. Nanami really need to settle this or else Mashiro would left her behind.

[Kaoru Chujo]

I agree with others' comments: wonderful episode. Sorata's loving relationships with both Mashiro and Nanami were nice. But the great thing was the gang of misfits rescuing Sorata from depression and helping him stand up and try again. The pool and (especially) fireworks scenes were glorious: Mashiro in the sky against a background of fiery stars.

The episode seemed to flow beautifully to me, and was another ep that was over before I expected it to be. I checked the staff and discovered (a) that the ep was written by Hanada Jukki (Rozen Maiden, Steins;Gate, Chuunibyou); (b) that main director Ishizuka Atsuko was involved in the storyboarding; and (3) that the episode director was Ikehata Takashi (director of Genshiken and Potemayo, of many eps of Crayon Shin-chan, and of dozens of anime episodes going back to the mid-1980s).

Mashiro's jump along with fireworks made that episode perfect for me.

[Chaos2Frozen]

As expected, they combined both the pool arc and Kanda's interview together into one episode and it worked out fantastically Some minor changes and rearrangement but it came out so much better at the end than when the two stories were separated This episode had something for everyone- Romcom for shippers, drama/angst for the masochists, and fanservices for the perverts

Romcom - I really couldn't pick a favorite girl this episode, both of them really cared about Sorata in their own way
Drama - I wonder how many people got flashbacks to their first interviews
Fanservice - NO PANTSU NO LIFE!



Next week is Rita's debut! And along with Rita, that means a certain someone would appear at last!

*Licks lips*

That will be perfect.

Now this was back to the good stuff.

I really enjoyed the ups and downs of the episode for Sorata. There was plenty of fun with the romance side of it with the girls reacting in their own way to Sorata's interview dilemma.

Just loved Mashiro replacing the charm that apparently didn't get the job done. I'm not sure how effective one that says "easy childbirth" will be, but you never know . Really was a case where the feelings were what really mattered. Twice Mashiro went out by herself to try and support Sorata (I assume the second charm came from a second trip). She had things coming up as well with her meeting regarding serialization, but it wasn't the only thing she was focusing on. Quite the effective scene with her jumping with the fireworks lighting up the sky.

Glad in the end Sorata was able to just keep on moving forward. Reacting like that just shows how much he cares and he just has to keep on trying.

[ars89]

Had a feeling Sorata would fail from the beginning, but didn't think he'd explode like that. Lol nopan Nanami. Mashiro's jump when the fireworks started was my favorite part. Leave it the gang to cheer him up. Oh man Rita seems like even more trouble.

[sikvod00]

Oh, man what another strong and poignant episode. That security guard's voice was so dope too!

[Chaos2Frozen]

Fat cats are one of my favorite source of lolz, but what's with that growl right before the OP ?!

[jedinat]

Am I the only one completely bored/annoyed by mundane dilemmas like worrying about your future/working towards a successful future/getting ready and practicing for presentations, etc.. I mean, this is the stuff I avoid like the plague in real life. *paused halfway through the episode to complain*

The first episode of the series was really misleading, lol. Thought I would really like this series. I mean it's okay, but not really my thing a lot of the time.

That's the point of the series. It has sure realism on it. Coming of age, success and failure. Making your dream come true and romance in life.

Maybe he wouldn't have blown up like htat if he hadn't made it through the first phase. But at that point his hopes had been raised and he'd been working with everyone to perfect his speech. Then he gets hit by a surprise question, freezes up, and blows it. All that effort and all that support for a time felt completely wasted. Then he just felt like he'd resent Mashiro's success in getting serialized even though she was supporting him as much as anyone. Didn't want to go down the road of resenting her success.

Was prepared for failure in the first phase, but once you start having hope...it's a perfect place for huge disappointment.

Good times though to cheer him up. Nopan Nanami was hilarious. As was the fact that Mashiro's leap pretty well exposed herself to the whole group .
