A would-be omiai turned into a babysitting venture - had all the vibes of KGNE, episode 2. As it turns out Makoto spends most of his time with Kokoro, and she becomes the reason why Makoto gives Kotonoha another shot.

While complaining about Kotonoha to Sekai wasn't the best idea for a number of reasons let's give Makoto some credit; at least he doesn't go as far as Takayuki. Now THAT would've made Makoto a complete cretin and caused people to throw things at the screen. As it stands, Makoto is hanging on by a thread; he's bad, but he has just enough good in him to make things interesting.

DanielSong is really exact in his comparision of KgNE's episode 2. This is a pretty peaceful episode and Makoto was pretty tame for most of it. The anime in my opinion redeemed itself with this episode.

Spoiler for offtopic/KgNE:

Now I'm didn't want to go off-topic here but some issues must be addressed. I feel that Makoto is worse than Takayuki, and Takayuki isn't a complete cretin. We think that Takayuki is an ass because not of what he did but because of the unfortunate accident. If Haruka was sad by the end of that episode and they made up the next, then we wouldn't be as harsh on Takayuki. He didn't go on a date with Mitsuki but rather out of kindness bought a ring for her because it's her birthday. True that this is inconsiderate to Haruka, but it doesn't make him a complete cretin. Remember that in episode one Mitsuki revealed to us that she and Takayuki had been friends for a very long time, so stopping to buy a friend a birthday present isn't something that's extremely bad in my opinion.

Makoto, on the other hand, doesn't really care about Sekai but he's just a complete ass to the person he's going out with. Rivalries and betrayals aside, I didn't like his character in episode two. He's progressing through the episodes though.

His last line of the episode and its title says it all.
Feelings Passing By.
He says she's 'Tiring.'

His feelings for her are dying down when hers are starting up. Hence their feelings are passing by and missing the connection.

Saji (sp?) is better suited for him. Their personalities are more compatible. In ep1 she smooches Makoto out of the blue. In ep2 she jumps and gropes kotonoha. These are probably things Makoto would do if he were allowed.

It also looks like Saji's (sp?) friend (the one with the red ribbon) is about to make her move on Makoto during the festival too. She was making sure Saji wasnt interested in Makoto before making her move on him. She's not convinced, but she can say "I asked first so dont get angry now." That's pretty much what she was doing.

I don't think Itou is about to quit yet. He may be tired, but his hopes of getting in her pants are still high.

... Not that Saionji isn't going to accelerate her sabotage, of course.

And am I alone in thinking Setsuna is paying an awful lot of attention to Saionji?

Feelings Passing By

[Ultima_Rasengan05]

Oh man, this episode had a good vibe to it.
I mean we finally get to see Kotonoha accept Makoto as a boyfriend and all, but in the end, he starts to get second thoughts and tells Saionji on the phone that being with Katsura-san is...

Spoiler for WTF!!:

TIRING!!
I mean come on, she invites him to her house and get to know her little sister a bit.
And towards the end of the day, Kotonoha starts to get used to this whole relationship thing and starts calling Itou by his first name.

Although he could be joking around because Kotonoha's little sister did tire him out by playing around alot with Makoto, but he did sound serious with his conversation with Saionji at the end.

well Makoto is still learning in this relationship that he has going on right now, but to switch off that fast is somewhat...immature.
Hopefully it will get better...
8/10

NEVER! But I was kinda curious.

[Dr. Casey]

Why do the first three episodes have such a small amount of discussion in comparison to the later ones? Does nobody care about them...?
