Ano Natsu de Matteru Episode 2

This week’s episode starts off with a step back. We get to see the details of Ichika’s arrival to Earth (yes, she’s an alien). Basically, her ship was damaged and she made an emergency landing, accidentally hitting Kaito. Back in the present, Ichika is trying to explain everything to Kaito’s sister Nanami and Kanna after they saw her kissing Kaito. Lots of confusion because of the alien terms Ichika slips in, but it ends with her moving in with Nanami and Kaito.

After that, things cool down quite a bit, with Nanami leaving Kaito and Ichika alone the next day. But they return home to find everyone else waiting for them to talk about the movie they have all agreed to make. A lot of random talk about movie concepts before everyone…gets drunk (you are so epic, Remon). After hilarious drunken conversation, everyone is introduced to Rinon, Ichika’s pet thing.

So besides Remon epically getting everyone drunk with her same monotone voice, not much really happens this week. Basically, it cools down for a bit and takes more of the slice-of-life feel it had in previews. But we still don’t know much about the story, so I wonder where the sci-fi will go. I guess this week was fan service week for this show. Not really that much else to say about this week. I’d make guesses about what Ichika’s situation is and what she’s looking for, but I could probably make a book of possibilities. I’ll just wait and find out.
