[@fahdlykun4988]

Have a nice weekend too ✨

[@theperceptor9287]

Yes the first 12 episodes are part 1 of the first season. The second 12 are the second half of season 1. Very glad you are reacting to this incredible series Alana.

[@geekley]

I hope you watch "The Dangers in my Heart" one day, it's peak romance

[@yymmtxz1677]

Komi's younger brother is named Shosuke Komi.

[@salomonzometa4537]

hey are you ever going to react to frieren? I'd would love to see you do at least check the first 3 episodes as it has a good opening and a great ending of this season

[@danreis2434]

Tadano manages to be the best boy and the best girl in this story... how is that possible?

[@Overlord0011]

With a wig and a maid outfit apparently.

[@ARIEZKAGE]

Sometimes it takes a real man to become best girl.

[@windygrass9807]

There will be more of Tadano kun-chan in the 3rd season.

[@user-17j]

Damn, you got it right The "Just a person" is the Best person in this series

[@thaumaturgeslit7759]

Otori is just the cutest. She might be slow, but she is so kind.

[@HaydrogenBomb]

Forreal. She's best girl, or one of them anyway

[@handlerone5172]

She's a whole vibe. She has the cutest voice

[@thaumaturgeslit7759]

Otori and Onemine are probably my favorite friends this season.

[@wrexgrafix84]

7:26 “She’s so easygoing.” Yes, that’s what Otori’s name is a pun of (ottori = easygoing).

[@HaydrogenBomb]

Otori is yet ANOTHER great addition and friend to Komi, and when you pair her with someone like Onemine, you get one of the most likable and wholesome duos in the show. 🥰🥰🥰

[@SohhamJeet]

Onemine Nene's character name is a collaborative pun, consisting of Onemine (which means Mountain Top in Japanese. Also, the first three syllables makes an abbreviation for the word One-san or, One-chan, depending on the person by whom she is refered to as, which means Elder Sister or Sister in Japanese) and Nene (a collaborative word consist of Ne!, which means Hey! in Japanese). Furthermore, Otori Kaede's character name is a pun for Ottori, which means Gentle or Calm in Japanese.

[@theperceptor9287]

Wow that's so interesting. Thanks for the background information.

[@danzansandeev6033]

Why this translation called her space cadet? Is it some kind of idiom?

[@SohhamJeet]

@@danzansandeev6033 Yes, I think so. Space Cadet is an American Slang which means like this: A person who appeares to be in his or her own world or out of touch with reality. As Kaede Otori is shown to be quite calm and airhead, so I think the animators used this slang to define her personality precisely.

[@danzansandeev6033]

@@SohhamJeet huh didn’t know that good to know

[@biskupftm]

@SohhamJeet It's actually almost every name in this manga that's a pun/double meaning. Tadano Hitohito would literally translate to "just a person", which reflects him being average in everything measurable. Osananajimi (single word) translates to childhood friend. Yamai Ren is a purposefully different reading of the kanji for koi, and Yamai koi means sick love. And so on, every main, and most side characters names are like that.

[@evilmandrake]

One of my favorite things about this show is that most of the names are puns on the characters. Komi can Komi-unicate. Hitohito Tadano is the most average guy, that's why his name is just the word "man" twice. Yamai is Yabai (to do bad things, often used in a cheeky way), Mono Shinobino (if you couldn't guess, he's the shinobi guy), Onemine is onee-san. The chuunibyo girl, Nakanaka, sounds like an onomatopoeia in manga, etc.

[@laurainathunderstorm]

Te thing about Tadano is not only that his given name is the word "man" twice (Hito-hito), you also get his family name Tada-no which would translate to "just a/one" so his name is just literally "just a guy dude" or something like that 😂

[@rising_sunwave]

There's 2 seasons of Komi Can't Communicate, each having 12 episodes. Netflix just has them together so it's 24 episodes... idk why lol

[@HaydrogenBomb]

I have some suggestions for you to react to in the new year, if you're interested: - The Dangers in My Heart (season two airs in a couple weeks) - Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable (also airing in a couple weeks) - More Than A Married Couple, But Not Lovers - Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead - From Me to You

[@Timmycoo]

+1 for More Than A Married Couple, But Not Lovers because I adore that show lol. And it has gone under the radar for everyone I feel like.

[@Timmycoo]

Such a great episode. How can you not freaking love Chadano. I love his sister coming in and immediately leaving because I thought it would be hard to notice it was him when he dressed up lol. Otori is so funny lol but soo sweet. I love that we are getting these characters who are more "normal" I guess but root for Komi and Tadano lol. Even though the chainsaw scene along with the staff only door made me laugh.

[@Abreinan]

Komi, Onemine, and Kaede make such a wholesome trio. This was also the episode that made me want to do a maid cafe (Tadano slayed)

[@galonski64]

My fav is how quiet Mother Komi is, at seeing Tadano

[@beussta]

Finally KAEDE !! funniest lovable girl ❤❤

[@roycrawford784]

Happy New Year Alana! Enjoying Komi so much. Best wishes for 2024!

[@AnonZeMouse]

New to the channel, but thought I'd give a heads up that the season 1 opening has a very cute official music video if you have a few minutes to burn. It's called Cinderella by Cinder Girls. Thanks for the reactions so far and hope you enjoy season 2 too!

[@windygrass9807]

I agree S1 opening song is so good and fits perfectly to portray the story.

[@himawarii_gg]

yesssss my favorite girl Otori makes the first appearance

[@rali00]

Yamai do be like that, she change but not much so we just kinda tolerate her, also Tadano-chan best girl

[@ivanbarria1021]

Happy new year Alana!❤🎉

[@anxieturt]

THE ARRIVAL OF TADANO KUN CHAN!!

[@faieziabubakar207]

Trapdano

[@shun0825]

it has 2 seasons with 24 episodes

[@OnDaSpot0015]

You should watch The Dangers in my heart! Season 2 is coming out in January and S1 was really fun!

[@HaydrogenBomb]

That's what I've been saying!

[@trekgonzo]

@@HaydrogenBomb I second the motion! Alana cannot even imagine the cuteness overload :)

[@NamanaCh]

She started to watch it but couldn't get into it.

[@OnDaSpot0015]

@@NamanaCh ah okay thanks for letting me know!

[@HaydrogenBomb]

@@NamanaCh No reason to not give it another try

[@RBguitar_]

Brother Komi is that guy!👀

[@just_Lil_bit]

Fyi komi brother,komi shousuke voice actor is enoki junya same voice actor as itadoori yuuji✌️😄

[@maattthhhh]

Onemine still best girl 💯

[@windygrass9807]

Tadano-kun chan is best girl, lmao!

[@windyyy1121]

Will you watch Frieren?

[@sm-oo8ly]

"ottori(おっとり)" mean "Easygoing". "Otori" is similar sounds

[@tristanweiss722]

Does she know that Komi's brother is the same VA as Itadori?

[@bobmarlie4163]

Thank you and Ilove you ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@mrozik89]

Otori is just like me FR

[@tequilabanana5177]

She should react to more 'cultured' animes like, food wars, prison school, overlord, isekai genre. I wish she would react to dr. Stone and gate the isekai anime.

[@laurainathunderstorm]

The thing is we should recommend things she would enjoy, and from her reactions to Yamai I don't think she would enjoy some of that, Overlord is a good suggestion tho.

[@weomeow26]

Please do a reaction to any Ghibli film! 🙏 I recommend Spirited Away or Whisper of the Heart ❤

[@PopsJoe]

Season 1 has 24 episodes. But at the time, they had release problems and had to release the 2nd half at a later date. So S1 has the first half and second half. Season 2 is airing in January. PS. Majority hates Yamai, specially when she's crazy about Komi. Don't worry, she gets less and less screentime. If she does get some, she's mostly away from Komi. P.P.S. Season One covers First year, I look forward to your reaction on her Second Year friends in Season 2 They're the most wholesome so far.

[@windygrass9807]

But season 2 isnt out yet, right?

[@PopsJoe]

@@windygrass9807 Yup. its releasing January 2024.

[@KatmeloChannel]

Could you watch miss kobayashi's dragon maid please!!!

[@waitingforguitar6991]

I second this recommendation. =)

[@saurabhsawant9091]

Please start reactions on "Classroom of the Elite" it's a psychological school drama you will definately love it

[@Vishal0p7]

Can you can you react fairy tale new ova?

[@orihime_6]

Watch Upcoming Anime SOLO LEVELING!!! 🔥

[@anandsrinivas7487]

Another day of asking tokyo revengers update 😢

[@GreedsNook]

day73 requesting to watch anohana😊😊

[@spadeas49]

Otoriiiiiiii. She is one of my favorite secondary characters of the show. Her and Onemine form a cute couple... I mean duo (I ship them so hard). Also, since she had a scene with a Chainsaw, I couldn't resist to draw her as a chainsaw woman, but with pochita being a cat and not a dog because, Kaede Otori is more a cat person.

[@LinkcarioX]

Otori is weird, I don't know what it is about her that makes me afraid of her. Also, Yamai is a parasyte, no need to try to like her.

[@galonski64]

Must love her like any of the others. For as you noticed each person have thier oddity

[@laurainathunderstorm]

​@@galonski64I hope you're talking about Otori, Yamai doesn't have oddities she has issues and she's just lucky this is a comedy anime.

[@galonski64]

@@laurainathunderstorm her oddity is she deeply in love with one person. So much in fact, that she only want them fr them self. Just like other have thier single quirk realy

[@laurainathunderstorm]

@@galonski64 she's not just in love tho, she's obsessive and it's borderline threatening, not to mention just generally displeasing to the very person she's "in love" with, if she can't control her impulses around the one she supposedly cares the most about for her sake then she doesn't really love her like that. If I knew someone like her I wouldn't want her in the same classroom as me.
