| One of my favorite episodes so far. Touching Story with no happy ending. Stellar atmosphere & Music. |
| Cheating on someone just because got bored of them and how you can't control the thing in your pants is absolutely disgusting no matter the excuse, ugh. She's one of the least boring people you can be with because she literally enjoys everything like it's the very first time for her to experience things. I'm glad that she only had to go through such a traumatic experience just once before forgetting about him entirely because it really hit her hard. She's better off unknowing it and focusing on what she has now. Too bad that there's no real cure for what she's dealing with but they're handling it pretty well so far. |

| The concept of memory loss is one that is rarely touched in anime, but I'll say this episode did a splendid job in portraying the sadness associated with it. There was one point in particular that was covered in a way that most could understand. Namely, the idea of subconsciously wanting to forget the bad things, such as a husband who runs off with his tail between his legs, abandoning his family, and starting a new one. I thought that the wife instinctively continuing to make extra servings was especially sad. Deep down, that memory is still there, and it exists as a brief reminder of your past. |
| i feel really sorry for that women even though it may be a good thing she forgot about her husband |
 |
| An episode that is fascinating, because it shows how the human mind is something prodigious and complex. The narration is once again painful, but also poignant and shows how strong the female figures are in facing the adversities of life. |
 |
| An important episode, not everything can be solved with advice, ginko ain't no miracle worker. |
| great episode, with a good message, very sad ending, i guess ginko cant help everybody. The dinner scene in the end was truly heartbreaking, this anime just keeps suprising me. |
 |
Her being frightened by the crab was so funny. Great first impression for that character, lol. |
 |
| god damn, why are there so many memory eating/mind eating Mushi in this world?? Lmao these Mushi really like to feed of our impure, unmuture, fucked minds dont they xd wait or is this only me. This also seems like our first Mushi that Ginko hasn't been able to find a way around, like there's physically no way to rid it unless you split that persons skull open and shine a torch into it. Interested to see other cases where it's legit impossible to cure the person of a Mushi because it would result in their death. |
 "yabe." |
| I wish they confronted that asshole of a father |
| A good message to not laze around. I'll have to say this is a bad ending since the problem itself is not really solved. |
| that was a really good episode. I wonder if there is a way to be checked for this mushi cause I think I have it since I forget everything I study LOL |
 |
| and also oh my that was bloody scary when she stood up and the shadow was still there |
|
| Okay... the first thing I want to say is... her husband is an asshole. The sneeze scene... sorry, I laughed at that. Actually it was scary because his mother even forgot what a sneeze is but seeing her reaction made me laugh. It was really sad when she wake up in the morning to forget many things.. I also feel sad for her son, imagine how bitter it is when he is the only one to remembers about his father's affair, and he can't say that to his mother. Plus he has to continue to help his mother to remember and do many things everyday. Good son, good son. Wish the best for his life. As someone has said before, it seems like happy endings are getting rarer and rarer.. but at least no one died. Bittersweet episode. |
 |
| Doing a rewatch of the series. Does anyone else think maybe the Dad got the same Mushi and forgot his wife and son? That's why he ended up in the next village over? |
 |
| Quite chilling as while the woman's ailment has a supernatural cause like always, it resembles a more realistic neorological problem. |
| This is too sad for the kid, especially remembering everything while his mother forgot most of the painful memories. |
 |
| She's traversed The Pale |
| The effects of this mushi are eerily similar to dementia symptoms, and it honestly makes it the scariest one so far. I'm just so glad that memories of her son are among the few she keeps intact no matter what. |
| It's too bad there's no cure for her, but at least she is content. Sometimes Ginko doesn't have all the answers. |
| What a good son she has... |
| Honestly, she doesn't forget the important things, that's good but kinda bittersweet considering she still sets a place for the Grade-A asshole husband. |
