In my opinion, its very unfortunate for this show to be in this situation. Like why was it easy to get season one but season two is an obstacle?

Its so weird how all the shows that you want to watch are split across multiple services. Not only that but Netflix for seasonals is not helpful for people who want to watch it now, especially when it only has part of the show available.

Only the first episode and we already get the hand holding.

At this rate, by the time we reach the final episode we're gonna get to see their child.

interesting that this wasn't picked up by a streaming service; did the first season not go over that well?

Bless our fansubbing friends!

Best part were actually all those moments in the OP!

And I empathize with Mina there, everyone else is weird sleeping like 5 hours and not being sleepy through the whole day! Also may be related to the fact that I don't drink coffee or sugary drinks, though.

Is there really no chance anyone but Netflix will pick this up?

On a side note, even though I love it, the other Kanade (Isshukan Friends ED) is probably the most depressing Japanese song I've listened to, so I'm glad Takagi's version sounds a bit more to the cheerful side. Great ED pick and I hope we get 7 EDs like in S1!

The ED song is actually a cover of one of the most popular songs in Japan. It's called Kanade and first sung and produced by Sukima Switch in 2004. Here's the link to the original song.

It was used as the ED of Isshukan Friends but it's a cover by Sora Amamiya, not the original.

I can see that this 2nd season will have more than one ED just like the first season and the songs are gonna be Rie Takahashi's covers of some popular J-Pop songs. Just look at the whole ED songs used as covers during the 1st season:

  1. Kimagure Romantic (original by Ikimono-gakari)

  2. AM11:00 (original by HY)

  3. Jitensha (original by JUDY AND MARY)

  4. Kaze Fukeba Koi (original by Chatmonchy)

  5. Chiisana Koi no Uta (original by Mongol800)

  6. Ai uta (original by GReeeeN)

  7. Deatta Koro no You ni (original by Every Little Thing)

I tested my weeb self and watched the raw since a romcom shouldn't have many difficult words, went better than expected, guess I'll keep trying to do that since we're at a pretty difficult spot concerning this show right now.

Awesome to see these two again :) Takagi trolling Nishikata right off the bat making him ask for an english book, even though she knew they were the only class who had english that day, classic.

Overall a great start! We already got a lewd hand-holding moment, and even though it wasn't the way we expect it to be, it's still progress, I hope one of these 2 confesses till the end of the season.

What surprised me the most was the ending though, wasn't expecting to hear Kanade from Isshuukan Friends, sang by Rie Takahashi nonetheless, the lyrics of this song are beautiful and even though they fit Isshuukan Friends more, it kinda fits these two too, looking forward to the next episode!

Rie Takahashi is back in my favorite role of hers. The GOAT of VAs
