(was kept MBS accidentally after Persona 4 the Animation finished airing, so I was able to watch it while airing)

Wow, so many of him serving the lady... SS guy being locked since little, and being alone. He's being playing around/serving ladies with power to kill time. (no OP)

Always smiling to hide himself... and SM guy then was so normal with glasses (though attitude is always). Seems like he doesn't particularly love his fiance, and those letters where written by SS guy.

After SM guy showed her and told her, he felt sorry about the girl.

lol @ SM guy changing his appearance after going out of his house. He still keeps writing letters to her (she recognizes the difference), and decided to be a SS.

The girl knows that it was not SM guy who wrote the letter. SM guy wrote a note, who has a bad writing (thus why he told SS guy to write instead) and apologized her because he also felt guilty and jealous. He told her it was SS guy who wrote it. After leaving, SS guy hugs the girl.

OP as ED.

Next ep., two new characters, and two of the talking through phone.

I actually like Kagerou more than Soushi. Glad we finally got a flashback the way i thought he knew her was way different than i thought.

This episode had some pretty good background music.

I cried it was so good. Best episode ever and I mean it most of the other episodes were great but this is where you really get to see the connection between the two. They could have ended the season right there and I would have been happily waiting for the next season to come out!!

Wow this episode really made change my mind about Soushi. I prefer now much more Kagerou than Soushi. That he used sex as means to an end of his slavery is understandable but to think the girls would be PEDO enough to do it with a 10 year old is sick shit! I never though the charms of Soushi would allow them to be swayed so easily. Even if he is a demon and all the though with his appearance is sick shit to think about. Normal person would see him as a innocent boy being enslaved and sexually abused.

That totally makes Soushi not innocent at all and indeed dirty. Totally mindfucked but at least they did not show explicitly. Remains to see in the BDs of any differences. Might edit later.

Interesting, but I was kinda disappointed toward the end since I thought he was telling Ririchiyo the story while he was just remembering. The past may be the past, but shouldn't Ririchiyo have at least the right no know about something that big before getting involved?

Also, last time I said Miketsukami was a borderline psycho but now he seems more like a former psycho... if that's possible... Or maybe he still is, simply living with borrowed feelings. If he's indeed changed he should be able to show real kindness to people other than Ririchiyo, not the fake stuff he so often uses. Until that I'm not convinced... meanwhile he still creeps me out.

alright, i'm pretty mad that they decided with the second to last episode to finally get somewhere. D< !!! ANGER! but nonetheless, this was a very, very good if not the best episode yet. Soushi had a really .. interesting .. background. i don't know whether to feel sorry for him or laugh because he kinda slept his way out. xD ~

anywho.~ the end was really cute with Ririchiyo and Soushi hugging like that. that part might have redeemed this series from it's plummeting score. but i can't lie though, despite all these funny, filler-like episodes, i have grown attached to these characters.

the preview does look sad though. :c in a perfect world, the next episode would have Soushi and Ririchiyo having passionate love making in bed. BUT, it is not a perfect world and kokorochan never gets what she wants. :"CCCC but, hopefully it'll end this series/season with a good note.

if the next episode is good, there better be season 2.

This episode had more progression than ep 1 to 10 did all together.... Lol.

Anyways, great episode, the scene where he hugged her had a lot of emotion to it.

Next episode won't have much to do with what happened this episode.

Best episode easily IMO; Soushi past was not what i expected but I don't view it as harshly as others do since while he did was manipulate women to get a freedom he didn't even really understand since he had no passion he just wanted something different; but at the same time with his circumstances one can only feel for that hug at the end; People aren't simple, others can make it seem like stupid decisions are indeed stupid but under the circumstances for the person in question it may seem like the only choice; in any case great episode; while i highly doubt the last episode will be anything near this hopefully it comes a decent finale, and possibly opens way for a Season 2.

I know that this episode was mostly Soushi X Chiyo...but I'm more interested in KAGE-SAMA! ♥
He is so adorable with glasses~! But he only got 3 1/2 episodes, hm? .__.
Although he's so awesome. I would always choose him over every other guy, especially Soushi.
Oh...I want to be his number one sex toy *Q* *AHEM* I mean, I adore this fella so much~! :3 Lol, that makes me an M, dayo ne?

The episode all in all surely was quite cheesy but it already was in the manga ;)
So they are really gonna end it with that event...?

Kage-sama should get his own anime *nod nod*.

Best episode so far,the story of Soushi pass was interesting and tragic at the same time.

I was nice that by starting to write to Ririchiyo begin to open his hearth to feelings....so thats why he decide to be a SS.

Kage-sama its amazing he may look cold but he has a great hearth deep inside....thats why he is the best of this anime!!

The SoushixChiyo hug was beautiful.......so full of feelings....i am glad that the plot advance!!! To bad it was the episode before the last.

Looks like next episode will be new characters and a closure to this season...lets see how sell goes for a second season.

Indeed a very touching and heart-warming episode. After last week's ending I wondered what would be revealed in the latest episode and I'm glad that it's something sad yet beautiful. The bond between Miketsukami and Ririchiyo is stronger than ever as it seems and now I only hope for a nice ending. 10/10

I'm still trying to figure out how they came up with the idea to use Andre Gagnon's "Comme au Premier Jour" for the background music to the flashback, and even credited it in the flashback as well as in the ending credits. That was out on Gagnon's 3rd album back in 1983.

The first part of the episode where he was seducing and taking advantage of women was the best part. He should have stayed that way and kept doing what he did best.

The rest of the episode was -talktalktalktalktalk-...

Soushi's backstory was even sadder than I expected, but it explains a lot. What he sees as assuming a fake Kagerou personality is more likely to be leaving his dissociative survival state, and actually developing a real personality (or healing from his abusive and traumatic childhood if you prefer). It seems that the letters were just as important to him as they were to Ririchiyo. I get the feeling that there may be a plot twist however for the next (and season final) episode.

It's good to see the manga done it's justice. The psychology of Soushi in the past was much better expressed in the anime, and led to a better characterization overall.

It's too bad that Soushi and Ririchiyo's relationship wont be expounded upon, but on the flip-side the darkness approaching Ririchiyo isn't introduced so I'll take it as it is.

If the last episode can keep the tone of the show then this series is going in my top 5. It doesn't really matter if it's filler or not. I'd almost be willing to say they shouldn't even consider making a S2 simply because the story is perfect as is. Trying to do a second season could backfire, but we shall see.
