With every episode, I learn to turn my deficiencies into blessing. This anime is so wholesome

Right! Magari and Ganta interaction with each is soo good lol

The best part about this anime is the gosh dang music! The jazz is too good especially the one which started at 16:14.

Edit: I used Google Sound Search and it said it was "Growing Anxiety" by Yuki Hayashi.

Me: two high school students ( a cute girl and a guy wearing glasses) . mmmmm.... where have I seen this before?

(Vietnam Flashbacks of Kōsei and Kaori from Your Lie in April)

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please don't do that to me!! I can't cry again for 2 weeks 😭

Girls asking other girls to practice holding hands for real date. No problem.
Guys asking other guys to practice holding hands for real date. 🤨

The duality of men. Also 18:17 respecting the bro code. Always 1 in between.

Left one in between, but still struck up a conversation while draining the fire hose. A violation is a violation.

holy shit he shouted at a teacher like that :O

teacher deserved it

Whatever is that teacher doing in the students' toilet even!? Like, why would he not use the teacher's toilet? xD

Schools I went to did not have separate toilets for the teachers. o_O

probably it's the nearest one & he has diarrhea or something... I hope.

Or the teachers' toilet is being renovated/in repair

because he had clogged it.

All the way from elementary school till collage, I don´t think I have ever went to any school where there would be separate toilets for students and teachers. (And I changed schools quite a bit.)

Eh? Even the rural school I attended in Romania from 1st to 8th grade had separate toilets for boys, girls, and teachers. So I thought that would be default and unquestionable.. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

The Czech Republic. Though I did also spend some time going to school in the UK and Germany.

Chris Hansen how to catch a predator bully?

Lol I was really enjoying the interactions between Nakami and Ukegawa, it feels like a more realistic iteration of a friendship between guys compared to other anime of the same genre. The girls too, I like that there was a silence and they were just enjoying each other's company before someone randomly comes up with something.

I like how Ukegawa successfully rattled Nakami by mentioning Magari and got himself the noodles lol. Then the way Ukegawa left the moment he saw Magari appear so they could spend time alone just shows how aware he is.

It was funny later seeing Shiromaru not being able to go into her house because of the mood between the two lol.

For some reason, I feel like Kanikawa will end up gaining more interest in Nakami since she is so fixated on him and especially hearing that "she always wants what others have" line, maybe I am overthinking it but I could see them possibly putting in that kind of drama.

I can't believe Nakami actually yelled at the teacher, I wonder how that changed Haida's opinion of him. I was also wondering why Nakami didn't just use astronomy club as an excuse when speaking to both Haida and Hakui.

I hope they don't skip over Nakami waking up and realizing Magari is closed up to him, I wanna see how he reacts.

Teacher deserved it. Theyre in a position to give suggestions not to lecture someone and force their opinions on students. Just write him up or a stern rebuke but the you should do exercise or x or y because it supposed to work is complete bullsh*t. It doesnt take in to account the student's personal experience. Maybe he tried but it doesnt work. It just comes of as a You dont know me, but you think you know all the answers type of guy. Especially from a seat of power being a teacher.

nah, in general what the teacher did is alright. But doing that knowing he guy has Insomnia is super unprofessional...

literally every night owls in existance. (inl. me)

I'm more surprised teacher didn't beat the crap out of mc right there lol. back in my day you dnt get away with sh!t talking to ur teacher. specially if it was in teachers office. but then again if teacher beat the kid at the same time kid can also beat the teacher at the later xD.

Everyone's different but Isaki does swim club which may be why she's more energetic during the day.
+ East Asia is still quite traditional so of course the average teacher'll sound like him; Shogo, Gaijin Goomba, etc have info about that kind of stuff.

The thing about Motoko always wanting others' stuff, it's good to try various things so if the others usually indulge her just ask for some of hers.

A bit too foreign for most people but Motoko & Isaki can happily share Ganta too while enjoying each other's time (not necessarily yuri).
Ironically, many times irl, people do romantically/lustfully share the same person usually via competition or cheating but anime hardly shows these scenarios outside of h-anime.

You'd think that the school would take at least one camera on the trip, so why not let the astronomy club use it?

They might give permission.

"I don't believe for a second that Ganta has actual friends!"

Damn, so brutal...lol

Quite the contrary though, Ganta has a great friend who knows to exit stage left when the crush shows up. :P

Goated wingman lol

One good friend is definitely better than having multiple glorified acquaintances.

The beginning with the girls just chatting felt so good to me - it was quite relaxing.
A question – why can't they take their own personal camera to a school's trip? What stupid rule is that. Who cares about what happens to it, since it's their own possession. And it’s not like it’s drugs or alcohol.

Shiromaru: “I don’t believe for a second that Ganta has actual friends.” – yeah, that happens when an introvert introduces someone as their friend.
10:03 – Best girl alert! The smile is seriously dangerous to my heart.

That teacher has no idea about insomnia. I don’t believe that simply working out would help insomniacs fall asleep. Though I can’t say, since I’m not one. Calling people who don’t get a good night’s rest messed up is pretty messed up by itself, and it’s also rude as hell.

In any case, Magari snuggling up to Nakami in the end was diabetes incarnate.

Listening to someone’s heartbeat is so relaxing lol

yea I also find this thing with the camera stupid as f

theoretically working out >>> tiredness >>> easier to fall asleep

but that highly individual thing and also if you tire yourself too much you can have trouble falling asleep

Speaking as a (mostly former) insomniac - sure there are things you can do to improve it, and exercise is one of them. Doesn't mean you can go and accuse someone of being messed up for having insomnia, that's just wrong 😠

(I think what helped most for me is being super consistent about when I go to bed/get up, and to see sunlight for a while soon after getting up. Also not missing that moment of tiredness at night. "oh I'm sleepy but I'll still finish this episode" is how you miss the window of sleepiness and end up awake all night.
... Now everyone laughs at me for refusing to stay up late for a party or the like, since it will make me a sleepy mess for almost a week. Ah well. )

Typically in Japan you can't bring any personal belongings on school trips outside of the bare necessities, some schools won't even let you bring cell phones (I don't know if this is the norm anymore but if you watch an older series you'll see it). You're supposed spend the time fostering bonds with your classmates, and school-sanctioned trip means you can't go running off to do your own thing, even if it's for a club.

what about drinks and weeds? 😏

That type of authoritarian thinking usually foregoes foresight & usually focuses on certain worst case scenarios. People usually break such doltish prohibitions.
Clearly cell phones & other gadgets can also foster bonds depending on how they're used.

Haha

I mean...they're going to the beach...they're not going to allow people to take photos of others in swimwear

T_T

Haha

well that teacher kinda deserved that

Such an a**hole lol

Lacks empathy and assumes his way of things will just work with everyone.

Why do I feel attacked here...? :P

still it's weird that they didn't call his parents. well it's an anime so wutever

very much so

this anime is so comforting

Rain rain go away come again another day…

Since we can’t see the stars lol

Wish we could have seen the aftermath of the teacher getting mad lol
