I actually didn't think he was dead - when I saw him play with the other kids on the grass. I dunno - I guess I had a hunch when the episode went on.

stop messing with my brain -_-
even being spoiled and still this was really f-d up...damn it man

5/5

I'm glad that I've gone this long without really reading the discussion threads - I was absolutely floored when Yuuki really turned out to be dead. It was a total shock to me, but looking back on it, it does look really obvious that he was gone, I just wasn't thinking that way. It's not that I was really in denial, either. I was just so focused on, "Wow, things are happy and smooth despite all the horror that's gone on, yay optimism!" that I didn't see it coming. But I guess many people could see that as denial too.

Throughout the episode where he kept appearing and reappearing, which made it horribly obvious he really wasn't there, I kept going, "Noooo. There's no way she's just seeing him. And that he's really dead. Shit, I bet he is. NOOOO don't let it happen! Why does he keep appearing and reappearing?! Coincidence, please! PLEASE! I WANT THEM TO GO HOME TOGETHER. AH, FUCK."

My heart sank all over again. It hits home because I have two younger brothers and I'd be devastated over the loss of either one.



Yes, pretty much. T_T

I don't feel like any part of the story has been dragged out at all, either. I'm honestly surprised how nicely they pan out, with depth, and I always find myself surprised to be finished when the credits creep up.

I thought it took just a bit too long for Yuuki to finally say it since it was already pretty clear he was dead at the end of episode 9. Still, it was very moving. I was teary-eyed just about the entire time throughout the school scenes. Very powerful.

first time to saw such a story twist, that was so unpredictable.... now it makes sense why mari had yuukis bagpack.....

Wow, that was surprising. So basically Mirai has been hallucinating for the past 2-3 episodes. Some things felt a little strange but I didn't really expect that to happen. It was extremely obvious after he started disappearing in the school, though.

I knew he died back at the hospital, but it didn't hit me as bad as when he kept disappearing and saying he died. I won't lie, I cried :(

Fucking bullshit! Why they do this for!? Fucking Yuuki was a good kid damn and I usually hate little kid characters! :(

As for the length, I agree it was stretched a bit but I think that was just to emphasize how delusional Marai was. They pretty much confirmed his death at the end of episode 9 when you see Mari walk down with his bag when they clearly showed him having it. Then the whole You know....line. Oh and him never saying a word to Mari. But I seriously didn't think about it after episode 8. I thought he was fine and it was all a dream. Then I saw some people questioning it and then ep 9 and I was like oh fuck.

Denial over, Yuuki is DEAD! Why did it have to be him >.<

WOW I can't believe it at all ...I feel very sorry for Mare .

I think it was meant to be obvious because then you see how she handles the trauma. But I agree they stretched it too long.

:(

Woah... wtf... wtf.. WTF!!! I was in such denial throughout this whole episode. Ahhh I am so sad and so curious how this is going to end. K brb watching the last episode! D=

I was sure that episode 8 was all dreams. I wasn't as quick or smart as the rest of you. So when I watched this episode....aw....it hit hard :'(

So the first dream in ep. 8 wasn't a dream... I thought that second dream was reality not the first. Well done. And the whole Yuuki disappearing should've convinced people who still weren't sure if Yuuki is dead.

"What would you do if I died?"...
mfw i realized what was going on

What a load of shit. This was suppose to be the perfect anime that portrays the emotions/situations of the aftermath of an earthquake. And now they're going so far to add in some psychosis shit. Fuck that. Should've kept it plain and simple. This just went from a 9 -> possibly a 7. And I highly doubt that last episode will up for it.

Sigh, I really enjoyed that grandpa scene (the one who lost his grandchildren) and the numerous scenes of Mari and Yuuki. But ugh. This now just feels like a House episode. And they better explain how Yuuki died cause all I've seen were signs of fatigue and maybe a mild fever, but it shouldn't be anything that can kill a healthy child who - according to Mirai - never been to the hospital for any serious illnesses. So, logically it just doesn't make sense.

I just happen to read discussion from episode 9. Totally spoiled. :/

It's weird... usually I notice this stuff. o.o

I was so happy when he was playing with the other kids afterwards too. ><

I was mainly thrown off by Yuuki's death because of, again, this supposedly being a fictionalized take on a realistic disaster. Y'know, most series based in reality don't have too many ghost kids.

I just want to know how this ends now. That was probably the big reveal, but I gotta see what's next.

Ah I was wondering when it was that Mirai's 'hallucination' began and it was basically right after the light of the hospital blinded her as she was walking in.

Well I didn't exactly get very emotional over this.
Maybe because it was painfully obvious from a few episodes ago since no one ever acknowledged Yuuki.

I was thinking that his death was very random and sudden but then I saw the post that mentioned internal cranial damage most likely caused by the falling of the tower.
Makes sense then.

Though Mari's personality was a little off after they took Yuuki to the hospital.
I felt like she didn't care enough, especially compared to the beginning of the series. I know they aren't even her children but still.
