Maybe. Usually when I am too nervous to sleep properly, I still feel nervous throughout the day until the source of the nervousness is over.

No I also noticed it this episode. The legs seem too long at times. Like in the scene with Touka apologizing to Yanagi.

I'm still not sure what to make of this show. The love shapes are boring, the use of an otherwise awesome magical realism power is dull, the plot is kind of nonexistent, and the forced drama Touko accidently seeing Kakeru and Yanagi in a compromising position *right after* she "realizes" that she likes him ("I must like him because Yuki told me I like him!") is incredibly dumb.
The most interesting part of this episode to me was Kakeru's conversation with his father. It hints at some family intrigue and gives us just a glimpse of what might be going on in loner mystery boy's head
I still like Touko's parents, but her father's anecdote this ep was a bit creepy. Also, were they working in the glass blowing workshop without safety gloves or goggles?! When Touko was told to pay more attention, I thought, "yeah, because you can burn your fingers off!"
Funniest moment: Hiro, I like you and I wanna root for you (even though it might be futile), but when you finally take the girl you like on a date, you can't fall asleep during the movie! I mean, you had a date plan and everything (which was so cute!)
One more thing; I can't believe they've gone this long without clarifying the relationship between Yanagi and Yuki. If I hadn't seen someone post that they were step-siblings based on Wikipedia, I'd be really confused. Get yourself together and tell the audience what's important, show!

Typical of PA works...This anime is like triangle within triangle-wait no... its a love polygon. So it's basically like Nagi no Asukara, a love polygon. God dammit PA Works

Your anger is misaimed in the case of Nagi, since that was based on a manga so PA Works had nothing to do with the story.

And what's so bad about love polygons anyway? At least the kids get something to occupy their time with.

I find it's often the case that the girl I like the most best girl always loses in such situations and is left with nothing but suffering. That can be pretty rage inducing.

Not "nothing but." They also end up more mature, just like IRL.
Not being fulfilled by your deep crush is a usual experience. Sure as hell was for me multiple times. If experiencing it by proxy in an anime manages to soften the blow for some other kid that has yet to go through that I count that as a good thing.
As someone further along in life I am hoping to see some unique and more interesting way of dealing with it. I'm not too hopeful but does happen now and then.

Very few titles actually show the girls who didn't win move on.
Anyways, I was just explaining why love polygons could be bad for some people.

The love drama is an oddball for me in this show. I wonder what David will do next.
I hope Touka's character develops a bit more.

Eppy 5
Stylistically, the show is feeling very White Album to me.
I do appreciate David doing what everyone always complains about ("Just explain what happened") and being told to shut up already.

Yanagi: "You guys should get some release too or it will hurt your performance."
Now that was just naughty.

Actually, to be absolutely specific, it's a love hexagon. Or sexagon. Except without the sex.
I'm so glad I got a plasma TV. Now that I can stream CR shows at a 1080p through it, it's like somebody is making sweet, sweet love to my eyeballs. Watching this show like that is heaven.

Sitting and reading books together...that's actually the kind of date I'd enjoy.
Hmm, I have a feeling that Sachi's trip to the hospital will turn into something more than "just tests".
I continue to be pleased with how the characters actually talk to each other about things, and in this episode I particularly liked Yanagi's love confession to Yukinari. It is definitely going to make things more awkward for them, though.

I don't get it, what does being correct about the date of an uprising have to do with difficulties of being a student?
