[Anime] Isshuukan Friends.

It's already obvious in the previous episode but this episode made me wanna say this again.

[2:25:07 AM] Oda: ALRIGHT
[2:25:10 AM] Oda: IT'S OFFICIAL
[2:25:26 AM] Oda: SAKI AND SHOUGO OTP

Those two made this episode brighter since Hase's down with the whole "reset" thing. I would've said that Kujou should grow up and get rid of that hate. Though that might make this whole story a lot more complicated in the romance area should he be developing that sort of feeling for Fujimiya. Anyway, more flashbacks of Fujimiya's past has been revealed. From this, it might be possible to bring the pieces together. Oh I hope my memory doesn't fail me on this.

Alright, it's story guessing time. So she might had run away from those girls after they insulted her for liking Kujou, and Kujou may had waited somewhere to meet up with Fujimiya, probably for the last time before he moved away. But Fujimiya didn't make it because she got involved in an accident. Which then brings us to this episode where Kujou only now knows that she got into an accident around that time.

May not be true but it doesn't matter. I need to get that off my mind. With that said, I should also add that Hase proved himself worthy in the end when he stood up to Kujou. Two episodes left. Show us the magic you have in store for us during the last few weeks of Isshuukan Friends Brainbase.

I'm getting more and more annoyed with this show. It got way too slow these last few eps. I don't understand Hase-kun's reactions to things.
Why didn't he jump up AND run and hug Kaori! She needed that hug or at least show her that he cared! ugh. If it wasn't about to end, I'd drop the show. I really hope the last ep is good. It has to make up for the bs I had to go through.
I'm done with the main characters. I want my fav side characters to get together xD
Probably the only things truly keeping me stuck to the anime

Well, if you think about it really, Hase just wanted to be something meaningful to Kaori not in a romantic sense. I was quite confused on Hase's reaction at the end of that episode for one moment, then I realised that he didn't want to get Fujimiya involved in anything further if it ended in her being hurt or lose her memories again. While he could've done something else other than ignoring, he's still kinda young to actually understand "how girls feel" because friendship is something that brings people together despite things such as gender differences for example (this would also apply to love but that's not the point here). Though even on a friendship level, that was a pretty harsh thing for Hase to do. And based on the nature of the show, a hug would simply mean that he loves her (sometimes a hug can be more intimate than a kiss). Maybe Hase didn't want to cross that line...yet. Though I do agree on Saki and Shougo being more interesting than Kaori and Hase.

Of course Kujou isn't a bad person. I don't see why people wouldn't like him still. Those people need to learn to wear other people's shoes properly if they want to walk on them. Sure he was butthurt when Fujimiya forgot him because of their special friendship. Sure he felt envy for Hase getting along with Fujimiya well which made him treated Hase in a way some people don't like, though he did say that he's over her. Can't really tell if he's lying but I hope what he said was true. He's just pretty unfortunate because he got Fujimiya involved in something that changed her life without realising it until this episode.

Meh. Ending was ok. Overall, I give this show a 7. Not entirely worth it, but it had its moments. Scale from Terrible to Awesome amazingtastic, it was Cute?

The entire cast was pure but less so than Kaori. Saki almost stole the show at the end. I enjoyed the anime. It never tried being an overly-emotional high school story which I was expecting at the start and when Hajime showed up. It wasn't amazing but it left a nice feeling.

Kaori is so pure she might end up in a mindbreak doujin someday

Kiryuu and Saki are my favourite couple

I guess it was alright, not too bad though not too good either. That explosion at the end though. I mean I get that Hase was trying to admit that he was doing something bad to Fujimiya, but I felt that it could've been done in a better way. Anyway, Saki and Shougo did steal the spotlight in the first minutes of the episode. Overall, the anime's good. While it does seem a little naive at times, there were times where you just want to cry your heart out.

In my opinion, before Kujou arrived this anime could've been actually one of the best animes I've watched this season. Not hating on Kujou or anything but I feel that those last episodes could've been better if they were longer.
