It's been such a long time since i enjoy a new anime. It has a nice feel in it. i was starting to get bored and sick of anime(especially ecchi) and was even planning to give up on anime,but after watching kimi to boku i got my anime spirit back again. The plot,music,art,comedy and everything else has such a nice anime feel to it. Hope more people will watch this show ^_^

Shun's haircut was nice to watch ^^
Kanamecchi still sensitive about his family...
Story about glasses was nice too.

Will I get laughed at mercilessly if I admit that I have no clue what you're talking about?

Sorry, Fate/Zero thing. One of the characters is based on this legend.

LKK · 2011-11-13, 09:41

^^ That's for the clarification. I'm watching Fate/Zero, but I knew nothing about Lancer's legend. (Thanks also for not laughing at me mercilessly.

I never even finished F/SN, so I'm sympathetic when it comes to not being a Type:Moon expert.

Just watched the newest episode. I can't get enough of the opening, it just shows what good friends they are :P

Spoiler for Episode 7:

Another good episode, I must say.

Sides · 2011-11-14, 15:21

Think it is getting better with each episode. Don't know how to sumerise this episode, but i think it displays different kind of friendships.

Spoiler:

I don't know how other people see it, but the characters in this series are probably the most realistic I have ever seen. However what this show does great is, to make it still interesting to watch.
I don't know how many episodes are left, but at the moment I think this is going to be my the slumber hit for 2011. Hope the remaining episode are not going to disappoint.

Dop · 2011-11-14, 16:19

I love the way the character development in this show is going. Nothing flashy, nothing rushed, just very natural. For me this is one of those shows which has turned out better than expected, and one of those good shows which doesn't really get the attention it deserves.

And did anyone spot the Squid Girl lookalike?

Spoiler for Episode 7:

I might be wrong, but I think what Yuta meant with the CD was a comparison to her friends. He said that the CD grew on him and he started to slowly like it. I think he was saying to Takahashi that she will slowly begin to like and accept her friends. I remember Takahashi mentioning that she was afraid to be alone, so she latched onto her "friends" so she would not become isolated (as her personality is portrayed as a book nerd, which often leads to isolation). Also at the end im pretty sure they broke up... which i dont really understand.

Anyways, good anime overall... it reminds me of kimi ni todoke, slice of life type of anime... which is always refreshing to watch.

Kimi to Boku - Episode 7

Hey look! Kimi to Boku can pull off drama as well as slice of life. Simple setup + decent dialogue + neat resolution = pretty good episode. Lots of current shows can stand to learn from this.

If it weren't for the initial barrier to entry, Kimi to Boku would be a lot more popular.

Kaoru Chujo · 2011-11-15, 02:08

Loved ep7. So delicate and subtle. Little tendrils of feeling in all directions for us to feel, evaluate, enjoy.

I think the CD analogy was meant to be readable in both ways: about the two, and about her and her friends. Did she buy a new CD for him and keep the cracked one? I didn't see the crack on the case she was putting in the shoebox.

The writer of this episode was Hanada Jukki, writer of Rozen Maiden, Kashimashi, Sorakake Girl, sola, Kuragehime, Steins;Gate, etc. And the series writer is Yoshida Reiko (Marimite, D Gray Man, K-On, etc.) one of the few writers even more famous than Hanada.

Takahashi was played by the ubiquitous (look left and below), unrecognizable, wonderful Kayano Ai.

Dop · 2011-11-15, 02:20

I agree that the parable of the CD that grows on you is very ambiguous, as it could refer equally to Yuta's feeling to Takahashi as well as Takahashi's feelings to her friends.
It's clear that Yuta was being very sympathetic to Takahashi, so even if they 'broke up' I'd hope they'd still be friends, and maybe something will blossom naturally between them over time.

The people who decided not to watch this after the first episode don't know what they're missing...

Kakkou · 2011-11-15, 03:03

Episode 6 was something new for me so I enjoyed it even more not knowing what it was about, which is what I expect the second cour to do once it starts. Having a flashback that didn't center on their kindergarten days was a nice change.

I agree with everyone else that episode 7 handled the drama very well. It wasn't overblown, just simple and handled gracefully with the way it was brought on and resolved. As far as slice-of-life goes, KB definitely knows how to manage it's different aspects and not lean too much towards one or the other.

Next week looks like they're bringing in a later chapter forward once again. No idea who that is, but that's where the fun lies.
So... when are they going to finally animate the Akira and Kou-chan chapters? It's already time they did that before it's too late. >_>

Someone at JC Staff had fun with this frame:

Lord of Fire · 2011-11-15, 16:07

Interesting how all the talk about girlfriends led no one to realize that one of them may indeed already have one, and it's not Yuuta, but Shun. After all, he won Misaki's heart pretty quickly and though we haven't seen her in this episode, everything suggests that she sees herself as his GF, even if he sees her as just a nice girl.

And Yuuta indeed is a good guy.I too hope he and Takahashi will eventually grow towards each other after all. They seem to match each other fairly well.

ookamigirl · 2011-11-19, 08:43

Nice episode.
Hanging out with a girl was a nice change.
Those guys spend way too much time together anyway.
Guess they should eventually accept the girlfriend option.
Yuta & her looked nice together, but I felt sorry she had such mean friends.

Sides · 2011-11-21, 15:43

OK episode this week.
This week it is about the manga club/society Yuki joined. The first part is about how the group helps Yuki to compile a manga for the club. The second part deals with a club member, Matsushita Ryunosuke, and how he tries to write a manga using Yuki as the main character. Sounds dull, but it is kind of interesting and funny.

DXMichael Psycho Falling Deep Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: The Anime World Age: 29	Just watched the newest episode. I can't get enough of the opening, it just shows what good friends they are :P Spoiler for Episode 7: So Takahashi was introduced to the anime by confessing her love to Yuta. The only problem with doing that was because her friends had encouraged her to confess, when in reality they harshly thought the opposite and thought that Takahashi would be rejected by Yuta, and yet they still told Takahashi to confess. Yuta somehow knew this and decided to accept her confession to avoid huting her feelings at first. Eventually Takahashi found out what her friends really thought and realised why Yuta accepted her confession. What I find great thought is that using the CD he gave her as an example (Which pretty much represents Takahashi), he said that the CD grew on him and he came to like it, but he wouldn't say he loved it yet. I find these two as a good couple. And as Yuta said, Takahashi has grown on him and he's come to like her, but he wouldn't say he loved her yet. Hopefully something happens between them soon enough. Another good episode, I must say.

~BC~ Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Spoiler for episode 7: Actually, I think both interpretations about the CD could work. Though more so for Yuta's feelings towards Takanashi. Though in relation to Takanashi's friends I think them learning to appreciate her for who she is sounds more appropriate. As it is they come off as picking on her despite encouraging her to be less of a wallflower. Have to see more of them to decide if they really were interested in her opening up or just looking to see her fail. Anyway, this was a good exposition episode for Yuta. There also seems to be hints of possible conflict between him and Yuki should things get more serious with Takanashi. I get the impression that Yuki might not like the idea of spending less time with his bro where as Chizuru and the rest were just being busy-bodies. Looking forward to next week.
