Aww, this arc was a bit short. Oh well, it was still sweet. Being a cat sometimes just isn't easy. It was cute to see Sasasegawa and her interactions with cat tbh. Overall, a cute episode even with all the magical stuff in their world. I'm going to miss her.

Not too impressed with this adaptation... I expected to see the explanation of how Sasami fell for Kengo, but they didn't even show that, and they didn't have Kyousuke contacting Riki either.

Would have liked to see Rin disturbing Riki and Sasami during dinner, and Masato trying to convince Kengo they were roommates too.

just a typical Pet drama finale eh? It was a good story, sad to see that Kuro died without Sasami noticing that it was her cat. At least they've finally got that chance again in the world Kuro created.

Yeah, too many scenes were cut...feels way too short. Just replayed her route again....it's way better. Her voice, her blushing scenes, her angry bouts....they're all gone...;_; And here I was expecting something from Key to adapt well....now I feel let down.

Hopefully Kanata's route, which is also good, won't be as disappointing....

Wow Sasami is good at cooking, didn't expect that. I really loved that OST when Riki was persuading Sasami into talking with Kengo. She is such a waifu~

So everyone who sees her in cat form and realizes its Sasami disappears. So her former cat was the master! Damn feels.

The episode was really beautiful but the arc felt too short. Like TOO short for real. It felt like they just put some important parts together. Wish it could be 4 episode just like the first arc...

But really this was extremely beautiful, I got clannad feels...

Shame they changed the ED, I like the first one a lot more. But I really liked this one as well.

It kind of felt like a marriage ^^

In the end being Kuro the cat being the master of the world. It really is a good time since there are many cats around me for the summer!
Seeing a young Sasami :3 Sad that she couldn't her cat when they had to move.

Glad that Kuro forgave her as Sasami really loved her T.T Their bond
Make an extension of one episode!

It was a long wait but was it worth it.
Personally i don't think so it seemed rushed and like always was missing in feelings which is a shame.
Maybe next arc will be done better but i guess we have to wait and see.

The arc itself was pretty entertaining, but it did feel too rushed. Most of the plot resolutions felt slightly forced.

Why did Kuro choose Riki to show its memories though? Did the VN ever explain that?

*cries* Why am I crying so much? ;__;
It seems that no matter what if it involves a beloved pet dying (especially cats) I always end up crying. I guess that's not only because I currently have 3 cats that I love, but I also have had other cats that have already passes away. No matter how much time passed that pain never goes away ;_;
I miss my kitties now.... though at the end of the episode when I started bawling my eyes out one of my kitties came over to see what the hell was wrong with me. I hugged her and I was like "I'm never going to abandoned you!" *cries more*

The flashback is quite feels and clear the reason why Sasami hate cat.
Kuro (Sasami cat) make wish and create a new world in order to meet him again before disappear. :'(

too bad, much of entire episode is rushed, i can't felt the drama much :(
but still nice 2 episode arc 8/10 :)

One(And probably only one) is Riki had already the experience(Since Sasami's route is after Refrain), which it seems Kuro is aware of, about the secret of the world so it's betting on him.

Damn I wish it got more episodes but on the other hand it wasn't too shoddy for what length they had either.

And finally Kanata's route next, OH yess have I been waiting a long time for this.

The part where Sasami pushed Riki out was so rushed... also, why did Sasami not confess her love for Riki at that moment? Saya did it in her arc, so I see no problem here.

Also, I kind of wished Sasami had joined the LB after the whole ordeal. That scene was really funny in the visual novel :)

Overall, good arc. I don't really care for Kanta, and her arc wasn't that good, if i recall correctly.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Kanata's and Sasami's would be suitable for like five-ish eps each I reckon, Saya probably 10-12 on her own

but since that was never gonna happen, it's better than nothing at least

I really like the OST in this episode, especially the one when Riki was talking to Sasami about talking to Kengo. Any chance someone could tell me the track name?

I enjoyed watching this arc, looks like Kanata is gonna be the one to end it off.

A new dish introduced called Chin Jao Rosu was something which remained along with the couple like jabs Riki was teasing Sa chan

The soundtrack playing when the world was falling apart was very good

It was a sweet and familiar end on the two part story

So the cat died and had this wish just before its death? So does that mean it had a long life after Sasami left?

I liked it though it felt bit of short and predictable towards the end and the impact wasn't so big.
And Kanata's route is destined to be the same. It's bad but at least we get something.

I watched it in English today ;_; That was too close to home... I just lost my 17 year old cat last week T.T Man, I had her as a little girl.

Poor Kuro. It was really rushed between Riki and Sasami. That part where she shoved him out of the world and he came back was weird. I really like Sasami, though.

I'll in the corner sobbing.

Damn, that caught me off guard
After seeing Refrain and Saya's route, I thought this will end happily as well.

"Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru"
"Hey now, don't nibble my finger"
"Okay, one more time"
"Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru, Kuru"
"Kuro, isn't it about time for you to sleep?"
"Bye-bye, Kuro"

Saddest route for me.
This and Komari's route literally made me cry.
Seeing how some of you said this being rushed, man, I don't think I would want to play the VN knowing that it would be a lot more sadder than this.
Then again, I've never been able to hold back my emotions when it comes to pets. Kinda pathetic for me, standing emotionless and wanting it to be over as soon as possible when someone in real life dies, but when it comes to pets, I'm crying like a baby.

Wow, I kinda expected the cat to died since it returned to her many years later since cats don't live as long as humans. and then "Bye-bye, Kuro". Well damn. :( At least Kuro got to see its owner one more time before she sleeps enternally. This was a simple good arc. I wish they kinda expanded upon it. Sasami is really cute with her hair all down. Now for Kanata's arc!
