kimi ga nozomu eien ep 8-9 thoughts(spoilers)

spoilers for episode 8 and 9.......









Looks like Haruka finally noticed that something is different with her hair.
I kind of feel sorry for Mitsuki now after episode 8 and 9.  Takayuki is
giving her the cold shoulder(what's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD!!!).
He totally ignores her in the bus, goes and plays arcade games to avoid her,
and sleeps on the floor now.  I also thought that it was mostly Takayuki
longing for the old days but it's also Mitsuki.  Meanwhile, Takayuki ran all
over town to find that book Haruka wanted.  I think Akane about to do
something big(maybe spill the beans to Haruka); end of episode 8 in the rain
and way she said it's for the best at the end of episode 9 hints it.  Thing
I didn't like about episodes 8 and 9 was that there were a lot of filler
animation and spaces with flashbacks.  Pace really sucks too; it's slow.
Also, I didn't get all the thing with his new employment and all.  Why is it
such a big deal?  Does he have to move?  Spend more time at work which
impedes his personal life?  Way this anime is paced, I wonder if they're
going to wait till the end of episode 10 to make Haruka realize current time
and flip out even though we see Haruka holding her hair at end of episode 9.
