A festival and sporting event! This show came back in a big way if you ask me.

This episode was also Asahi's chance to prove herself and she's got supporters. Despite how childish she seems at times, Asahi had good intention about her wish. She and Uryuu has a cute little chemistry this episode imo.

Yae’s arc ended and they just jumped into Asahi’s arc, which really is a knock-off lol, with its execution. Anyway, the blonde girl who’s just there to act as Asahi’s rival must have spent more time on her practice. I mean with how things turned out to be in the end with shrine’s tanabata festival clashing with the race day, she really had a good chance to go one up against Asahi, but hey, guess the power of love makes up for anything, and the power of tech as well lol.

Now yeah, the supernatural stuff happened, and these guys are now stuck in a loop. This is just Endless Eight all over, except, we’ll not have to watch them doing the exact same stuff over and over and over again lol, over a number of episodes. Still doing the same thing again and again must be tiring lol. Though still, pretty obvious what Asahi’s wish was right? New OP and ED, but yeah, sounds same to me,

I'm trying to figure out that whoever is causing these ... phenomena to happen, what is their objective, like why are our mains going through them. But still a nice change of pace whenever these spirited away moments happen, never a dull moment.

Her running speed is probably powered by raw smugness alone.


While it's tragic how Asahi was forced to have a fresh core memory undone by reality warping shenadigans, the fact she went ahead and casually won gold again anyway is such a flex. Nothing will take away from how wholesome Uryu's initial idea was to invite Yomiko and video call the shrine though.

My girls are back.

Time loop theories confirmed.

Liked the music or the old OP and ED better. New visuals are more plots revealing, but old ones were cuter.

FINALLY we’re back with new Amagami eps and an OP. Hopefully the staff had plenty of rest and are ready to go! I sure am. I’ve always had Asahi as my least fave of the trio because of the cringe age gap with Uryu and loli bait, but going into this arc with an open mind and it’s off to a great start so far. Arguably the most interesting set up in the series actually. A modern day endless 8 is pretty dope and it allows us to get to see much more of Asahi’s personality as well as allowing she and Uryu to grow closer since they’re the only ones looping.

I had a feeling the gimmick was going to be about Asahi’s heart not really being in the race. Spending time with her sisters is the most important thing to her, and we’ve known that since earlier in the first cour when she passed up on going to the school out of town on a track scholarship in order to be closer to them. Poor Karen though won’t be able to race her rival at the marathon! She’s such a tsundere but really loves and idolises Asahi a lot you can tell. She just wants to beat her idol at and push her to be her best.

I’m kinda feeling like all the girls are going to end up getting their own routes where they win at this point since they’re now introducing loops and alternate timelines.

So we got a new OP and ED and while I'm used to the first ones I'm sure I'll get used to these too. Regarding this episode (and the next one) it was focused on Asahi and her wishes. While 4 of them were shown I wonder if there's another one where she wishes to get Uryu's affection, maybe that will unlock moving forward past July 7th, or perhaps it will be her simply participating in the festival with her sisters, we'll see.

On a side note, Uryu inviting the girls' former teacher and having the girls and the shrine leader see Asahi via video chat for her marathon was a great move.

Today's events were really strange with this time travel, especially involving Asahi. Since she wished to be at both the festival and the marathon, fate made her go back in time to decide which was the better choice for her to make. It reminded me of one of the episodes from season 3 of "Supernatural," haha.

I always have nightmares when a show decides to do time loops. Mostly from "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya." Especially that was 5 episodes of the same thing with slight changes in it. I hope they don't do the same here.

I would not worry about it going endless eight. This show usually has 2 or 3 episodes per arc and ties them up well.

Why all the endless 8 talk? It’s much more like the Petite Devil Kouhai arc of Bunny Girl Senpai. Asahi has a lot of Tomoe Koga vibes too.
It’s a fun tool to let Asahi get some time with Uryu, I hope she takes full advantage!
I can’t see them looping 15,498 times like Haruhi…

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just needed the Japanese national team winning a big game. And the fact that two people remember right away unlike Kyon taking 1000's of loops just to get deja vu and Nagato being the only one to recall all of it. Definitely Leplace's Demon stuff instead of the Endless Eight.

Asahi is really rizzing Uryu up. She’s got him all to herself in her Groundhog Day scenario. Eat him up while you can, Asahi! 🥰🥰 Edit: the best way to break the loop and get to be at both the marathon and the festival is to wish for the storm to disappear. That would solve the problem and break the loop. 😉😉

I just don't understand. As an atheist, if I could confirm that I was in a supernatural loop and it wasn't negative cognitive bias or schizophrenia, I would at least become agnostic, if not religious.

Recently rewatched Bunny Girl Senpai and Suzumiya and this episode immediately gave off those Koga and Endless Eight vibes xD

Regardless, one of the better episodes overall as well, even with the blatant knockoff aside. Very nice OP visuals wise as well. Decent return.

Nice to finally be back for the 2nd cour, those two weeks with no episode felt noticeably empty for me, and the new OP and ED are very nice, I think I prefer the first ones for now but I like these new ones, the VAs are doing the OP instead of the ED now, and ≠ME is doing the ED which I think was the better of the two, but as always they will grow on me since I never skip regardless of the show lol.

And I guess everyone else has seen Haruhi Suzumiya besides me, that happens sometimes, personally I’m waiting for Uryu to whip out a cellphone that tells the future and for Asahi to be his crazy girlfriend, but that show isn’t really about time loops, I just watched it recently lol. But besides the weird time fuckery, I’m really glad we got an Asahi arc to open the cour, loving her moments with Uryu here, it’s just a shame the marathon stuff was undid by the time loop bullshit, at least the two of them remember and are growing closer because of it.

Kinda fucked up of the gods to be doing this tho, why can’t the stuff at the marathon happen? It seemed so perfect, Uryu called up Yomiko and had the sisters on FaceTime, it was a beautifully setup situation for Asahi’s win, but the gods said no, okay lol. It does make things more interesting tho, I’ll give them that much if this is the work of the gods anyway, and it also opens more doors for future plots if something as big as a time loop can happen, this goes above and beyond Uryu’s prophetic dreams. It’ll be interesting to see how Uryu and Asahi go about breaking the loop, I have a feeling her staying for Tanabata isn’t gonna be enough.

The time loops so far each have a different structure. Thus I expect the further ones, should be at least 2 more (Uryu's and Yuna's big ones) will each have a unique structure.

@FutoiOtaku It’s because Tanabata was mentioned in Haruhi episodes and I think it was also part of Endless Eight.

The endless 8 includes the Obon festival on August 18th.
The loop is from 17th to 31st August.
Tanabata is in early July.

Although there may be connections in the writer’s mind with endless 8, the mechanics are only slightly similar compared with BGS having EXACTLY the same mechanics.
I still would be interested in anything said or written by Marcy Naito explaining why this loop was added, and don’t honestly think it’s a tribute to or copy of anything so this is by no means an argument. Just a sharing of opinions and pondering.

I see they're diving all the way in on the supernatural elements instead of just dipping their toes in like before. I always love a good "Groundhog Day" plotline if it's done well, and I'm enjoying this one so far. It's also nice to see someone other than Uryuu involved this time, and of course he feels the same. This has bee a surprisingly charming little show from the start, but if they continue leaning more heavily into the supernatural aspect, I think that could elevate it to a really solid series if done right. I look forward to seeing how this loop is resolved!

Re:Zero came back sooner than expected

Now Asahi is getting dragged into supernatural stuff too. The race was so tropy it better got retconned. Kinda bad that she won all those marathon still for nothing. Focusing on your actual wish where Asahi wants to be in Hanabata is why they are getting looped probably..

It felt a long time when this was gone but it had a very solid return. With supernatural elements now being focus to make Asahi and Uryu come closer. Personally Asahi arc will be much interesting than Yae arc.

Have to say compared to bangers of cour 1 both OP & ED is a downgrade atleast form initial reaction.

Okay?? a Time Loop!? and Asahi remembers too.
I've had this thought ever since the first early episodes with Yuna and now this episode really solidifies it for me.
Those glimpses of the future might be a memory from a previous timeline(loop).

Now I think that maybe the whole Uryuu-Yae situation wasn't just a "memory" but is an actual thing that happened, that it was Uryuu(present) that Yae(past) met.

And maybe this time loop will end if Asahi chooses to spend Tanabata with her sisters because it's the best route. Her winning the marathon will be a memory she shares with Uryuu.
Or a better outcome is that the gods stops the storm so the marathon won't be postponed.

The new OP & ED are also great!

Probably it's because when it comes to time looping scenario, the endless 8 is more popular and it was way older since it was 2 decades ago. To be honest, endless 8 was the also first thing that I thought of.

I understand that you're a bunny girl senpai fan, but chill man no need to get mad.
