| damn banri pretty much turned into the guy from Memento this episode i almost got the feels this week just for the fact this might not be a happy end |
 |
| Am I the only one who noticed that JC STAFF completely recycled the sound clip at 21:08 of this episode straight out of the Little Busters! Refrain episode previews? |
| Alright you guys, there's your Linda end. Now it's time for Koko to tear it up in the next episode and bring Banri home! Also, eheheh, I think that's as close as we'll get to a Nana romance, and dat Mitsuo bromance! :3 game8910 said: Am I the only one who noticed that JC STAFF completely recycled the sound clip at 21:08 of this episode straight out of the Little Busters!

Kinaro said: So Golden Tiem was a show about a dude with mental problems and how he caused problems for his friends and failed to maintain a relationship with his wacky girlfriend because he goes nuts then he reverts back to his past self losing the memories of everything that happened in the show. K den :| Yeah that's pretty much how I feel about Banri up to this point. I know it's not his fault, but I really hope the writers allow him to get it together. The only reason why I'm still rooting for Koko x Banri is because that's what Koko wants, and I think she's awesome. Otherwise, I figure Banri should just be with Linda since she's got the patience to baby his crazy ass, but not at the cost of Koko getting her heart broken; so I'd rather see a miracle where Banri keeps all of his memories (past, present, -and- "ghost"...) and chooses Koko after all she put into their relationship. |
| Well that was a sad and an unavoidable turn of events. He finally regained his old memories and lost all of his new memories. I cannot wait until the last episode. I want to see what ultimately happens to Tada Bandi and Kaga Koko. Great episode!!! |
 |
| well that escalated quickly (o_O) this episode was great, too bad next week's the last episode :( I hope it ends in a happy ending. |

| This episode really worked for me. Solid throughout, with a few minor hiccups and comedy and drama that actually work. Koko was the most sympathetic character this episode; her pain at what is about to happen to Banri was portrayed very well, and the scene where she's crying after Bnari runs away from her on the street was genuinely heartbreaking. 2D-kun had his moments to shine too. So overall, great episode. I'm not completely sure there will be a happy ending, but I do expect the video camera that Chinami carries around to play a role in the finale. It's been present throughout the whole series and essentially recorded Banri's happiest moments as a new person. I wouldn't be surprised if it's used to bring his memories back. After all, remember the message he left himself on the camera? |

| Sad and calm ending for the most part. Can't wait to see what happens in the last episode |
 |
| Thank god this is finally over. This show is SAO-tier bad. |
 |
| I feel like this show gets worse and worse every episode. I had high hopes for it too... |
| KokoXbanri till the end \m/ Their formal breakup really hits me, and they end it with a promise wtf no idea bout the ending but really hoping for a happy ending :) |
| woohoo! forget bitch ex-gf acquire osananajimi |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Dam feeling that lump in my throat again, especially that part when Mitsuo tells Banri about how he knows... Hope this ends well |
| *insert cringey anime reference here* |
| You know what? Screw Linda and Kouko. This show would have been infinitely better if through all the times Nana-senpai helped Banri, he started to fall for her, and this show was actually about the blossoming love between her and Banri. Le sigh. Let me revise that statement. The story would have been better. I don't know about the show, however, because it had a vast number of problems that weren't story related. |

| Wow.. Each time i see Banri crying and shouting for Linda my heart aches so bad.. I'm fine with how the series is ending with a KokoxBanri route though im a LindaxBanri fan but its just painful to think of how the old Banri feels. Suddenly waking up and your best friend isnt there but instead replaced by some new girl. Scary.. Then again if Banri ended up with Linda, i'd feel sorry for her cause it wouldnt really be for love anymore but just like a mother being there for a lost child. So i guess im satisfied and happy with how this anime might end ^_^ Just a side feeling of sadness for Linda :( |
If anime characters were real, i'd probably be the happiest person alive! Or just dead.... ^_^ |
| If Koko and Banri don't end up together.... I will be severely disappointed. The ending is what drastically lowered my opinion of Toradora (which I absolutely adored until the ending), and if Golden Time pulls ANY sort of ending where he doesn't end up with Koko, I will be extremely disappointed. It would feel like one giant troll by the writer because of how much development Banri and Koko had gone through not only relationship-wise, but each in their own personal growth. So seeing Banri end up reverting back to Linda (who really didn't develop all series), or ending up with no one would be a real shame. |

shadedclan said: I didn't understand the last part. So which memory does Banri have right now? The one before or after the accident? He came back to his old self and forgot everything that happened after the accident. |

| Again with amnesia. Gosh, just how many times did the director needs to reuse this trope? This episode should have been called amnesia time. And somehow the awa dance scene being reuse again from last episodes. They all are bunch of immature school kids instead of university students except for 2D-kun. But I don't wanna bash this anime too much. I guess those who usually watch chinese drama could stand this. |
Counteraction rising Yeah we are ready for the punch line There's no use with all your gimmick So check this out! |
| I think the episode was a bit forced, the drama in the other episodes already was better rather, the drama at the beginning of the anime was better stayed everything to solve in the last episode and the best part of this episode was to see Nana sleeping with Banri, totally clueless, but it was funny I hope the anime has a great ending .. _________ acho que o episodio foi meio forçado, o drama nos outros episodios ja foi melhor melhor dizendo, o drama no começo do anime era melhor ficou tudo para resolver no ultimo episodio e a melhor parte deste episodio foi ver Nana dormindo com Banri, totalmente sem noção, mas foi engraçado espero que o anime tenha um grande final .. |
  |
| Lol no wonder Kouko broke it off.. Banri was a complete wreck and in the end nothing and no one was able to do anything about it.. And yea Nana=best girl with Loco Kouko coming second I won't lie that Banri/Yana scene was bromance to the peak of bromance.. If someone watched that scene only they would probably take it the wrong way Does Banri even get help? I keep seeing the words "Banri and hospital together" yet he never actually does |
| I don't like it. |
| oh god... next week is the last episode.... O.o |
  |
fezzy_2004 said: nice ep. i feel like i truly understand how koko feels now and i can no longer be upset with her .......i m not one for sappy tears but this was really close to getting me there.......... its tordora all over again not even close imo |
| ...In rolls the backlash. Oh well. I actually enjoyed this episode quite a bit. Yes, it felt a little rushed but otherwise it still felt sincere and I enjoy the take on amnesia, it's actually a scary thought to just one day stop being the current you. Koko redeemed herself a little, and Yana became his friend again. Plus, 2D Kun and Nana keep being best voices of reason and great friends to Banri. Going to be interesting to see how this ends: will probably be heavy on the feels. |
| Banri x noone ftw. |
 |
| 2D-Kun accurately described my relationship with just about everyone, ever. This episode felt almost like a last episode, what with all of the flashbacks and the like. It made me quite sad, made me realize how much I'm going to miss this show. All in all a great episode and it explained why Koko is avoiding him better. I imagine there will be a happy ending for everyone! Ideally Koko and Banri, Yana and Linda, 2D-Kun and Oka-chan. It would be awesome! Will it all happen? No, but I can dream! |
| I didn't even realize next week will be the last episode already. I hope the ending isn't rushed or that we get a half-assed/cliffhanger ending. I don't understand how some people still expect a Linda ending though. I don't think this story was ever a love triangle drama. It's always about Koko's and Banri's relationship and next episode will be the closure for that. I've always viewed Linda as a mere anchor between current and past Banri. She was never a threat to Koko. |

| The past Banri is such a pansy. He keeps crying out for Linda like she's his fuckin mommy. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| Well I guess that wraps up the forgiveness, though pretty predictable that she knows about the video and his memories are getting back. Regardless, although it was pretty quick, they will be close friends no matter what 2D-kun is getting left out. How lucky of that he slept slept with Nana-senpai. What the Hell, is he forgetting Koko now? Guess his memories are coming back to haunt him... But I think it's over after he called out Linda's name and had some recovery. Aw Yana is worried about Banri :D. Let the festival begin, and it prove to be successful. Next episode... Golden Time. Let's see how they wrap things up for the finale. |
| Both past and present Banri are wimps!! Past Banri has always been a wimp, but present Banri, he's a wimp for letting Koko go and hoping for her to go back instead of chasing after her; and for keep whining about disappearing!! I enjoyed Nana in this episode for crawling in his bed, 2d-kun for worrying about the group's friendship and Yana for worrying about Banri. |

| geez Banri and Mitsou moment had me in tears! 1 episode left , loved this show since the start hope the past banri doesnt come back! |
 |
| Can't wait to see Banri's outer space trip in a canoe. R.I.P. in peace TeamLinda. |
| Well this show has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Looking forward to seeing how it's going to come to a close. These past few episodes have been depressing as fuck. Like seriously, everything that could go wrong did. Banri broke up with Koko just when he finally got the balls to give her the ring. Then this episode he was slipping away like an old person with dementia, until he finally said he reverted back to his old self as the episode closed. Koko made that promise with him in the beginning and you're thinking, "ok, maybe this might get turned around somehow in this episode". Nope, everything went to hell. As for the ending, I'd hope to see Banri get back together with Koko. Even if they start from square one. Now that his old self returned, he shouldn't be having any more anxiety or memory issues. This is the same person who created Toradora so despite how mediocre Toradora's happy ending was, it was a happy ending nonetheless so hopefully Golden Time can pull something even better off. |
| Most likely ending: The "power of love" restores Banri's memories for Koko Other possible ending: Banri ends up with no-one and it is a more bitter than bittersweet ending. Too many feels in this one. |

Ophis said: Ohhh look more bullshit drama. This series has just been one big train wreck. I think all the characters need to see a Doctor, the only normal ones seem to be 2D-kun and Nana. I really hate drama in general because very rarely is it ever done right without being forced or because of some asspull by the author. The moments that are meant be sad end up becoming funny because of the stupidity of it. Banri should get an award for most annoying character of the year! Oh, wow. Good job on riding your so called "train wreck" for 23 episodes! I admire your balls, or stupidity for coming this far. Congratulations! You probably shouldn't watch the last episode if you're sick with more bullshit drama. |
| Nope. |
