| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think Kyoko's father has some very real worries. We also get another incredibly touching scene between Godai and Kyoko which pretty much summed up why she wasn't true to herself for so long: she didn't want to be left alone again. |

| Awesome episode, one of my favorites in the series. It's a lot of fun with Godai thinking up how to propose to Kyoko. |
| wow kyoko and godai's scene was so touching. you could really feel her emotions |

| I think it's impossible not to have watched 93 episodes to this point and not feel almost moved to tears by Godai's proposal to Kyoko. Just when you think that there's no drama left at this point, Maison Ikkoku still manages to crank it up a notch. Turns out Kyoko's dad wasn't just an unreasonable old man with a "daughter" complex. He actually just wants that she never goes through the kind of pain she went through when her first husband died. |

| Yes, finally, this is the episode I've been waiting for all this time, it took 94 episodes but the series finally delivered, this was simply beautiful... |
| This episode fell flat for me. The father's concerns were unconvincing, and his presence during Godai's proposal seemed awkward. Everything felt sappy, even for this series. |
| Boring! Boring! Boring! Kyoko's dad should seriously grow up! This is ridiculous. He wants his daughter to be a nun or something!?! I'd have put him in his place, he doesn't have to accept but he could at least be courteous! Furthermore I'd have asked him kindly to keep his opinions to himself up until I have at least proposed! |
 |
| true romance! the best, most realistic portrayal of love ever! don't we all wish for this - the ending had me in tears - at least i can feel this vicariously... |
 |
| I'm waiting for this moment for a long time ! )) YES ! YES ! YES ! ...well done Godai :D |

That scene was very touching. I'm happy to see how strong this series is ending. Kyoko finally let the truth out, her fear of being alone ever again; I figured that was the reason for all her resistance. |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| The moment we've all been waiting for... that scene was really touching. it had me teared up.. |
 |
| That last scene was so well done especially the "please live longer than me" line I almost teared up at that point. |
| ok was very satisfying. kyoko father depicts the character of all fathers. I liked how he was still worries for his little kyoko |
 |
| lol the marriage proposal from Godai while piggy backing his father in law was amazing. The ending scene was so good. |
| That proposal did look pretty awkward, but goddamn, that line about living longer than her, even by just one day, made me tear up. |
| Amazing and powerful ending. Loved it, teared up. |
 |
| After watching this beautiful episode, I forgive this show for giving me a hard time with all the misunderstandings and conflicts! T-T Kyoko's dad just didn't want his daughter to go through the same pain she went with Souichirou's passing T-T (Also the scene with Kyoko's back and the incense's smoke around her was really beautiful in a sorrowful way) Godai's proposal was so sweet and Kyoko just wanting that Godai to outlive her was so bittersweet T-T Gosh, everything was so emotional! |
| one of the best eps of the series the first time i watch this and saw the part when he asked her to marry her and then she said to promise to live longer than her i nearly cried cause it really hit so hard i may hate kyoko through out most of the series but the final few eps she is pretty amazing to say the least |
| "one step at a time" |
| So Godai proposed with his future father in law on his back. Could be worse. .:D Ending was so touching. Loved that moment so much. <3 |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Oh, this episode was one of the best! I haven’t seen many proposal scenes as sweet as this one. The flashback with Kyoko’s father and Godai’s carrying him exactly like that was just so beautiful. Great episode! |
   |
| "Can you make me... one promise? Please. Even if it's just by one day. Please live longer than me." This hit hard. Good proposal scene. |
 |
| This was such a good episode. Im left with the void now that I finished it. Definitely one of the greatest romance Anime ever made. Most of the romance Anime today don't even compare, especially these seasonal ones. |
 |
| And Godai carried Kyokos dad in the end xD What a powerful episode. My eyes did water during the whole proposal part, but Kyokos "Please live longer than me" turned them into a into a waterfall. Amazing stuff. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Incredible episode, best proposal I've seen in anime so far Carrying your future wife's sick dad on your back while proposing is what real madlads do |
 |
| Holy crap, those lines from Kyouko genuinely had me shed tears, I'm currently asking my own manliness |

| Basically, Kyoko's father is against her marrying Godai because he doesn't want to see her ever get hurt again. Since she was hurt prior when her ex-husband passed away. He is just looking out for his little girl and is worried. Then Godai thought of ways to propose to her and by the end of the episode, while Godai was carrying Mr. Otanashi on his back to take him home, Godai asked Kyoko to marry him. She then said, "Promise me one thing. Don't die on me." Felt pretty emotional after all she has been through. Excellent episode. 5/5 coming to a solid conclusion. |
 |
| Such a great episode. What an amazing payoff. |
| Awww. I felt this episode. |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| I thought Kyoko's dad was a bit cliche like he was against Godai as if Kyoko is still a highschool student whereas in reality she's widowed... boy was I wrong. This anime really uses deception like this very effectively. Things aren't always what they seem in the surface level just like in real life. I stopped watching this as a typical anime a long time ago. But boy, the way he showed up in the pre-school made him look like a ped0phile lmfao. Also, Godai carrying a grown ass man like that, he's stronger than I thought! He'll be a good replacement for the principal who broke his back XD (Glad to see it had meaning and wasn’t just played for laughs). You trolls who keep saying Godai is spineless... his spine seems pretty fine to me. That proposal scene was excellent. One of the best I've seen in anime probably! Never mind about the phone proposal... Also it seems it’s hopeless to think about Ibuki at this point. Even if she comes back in the last episode I doubt she'll get a closure as good as Mitaka and Asuna's or even Kozue's. I don't mind since I never liked her anyways despite the fact I think the Job hunting arc with Mr. Yagami was the most entertaining arc. |

| Every second of this show was worth this episode alone. |
| dirty thoughts are bad |
| "At least for a day, promise you'll outlive me..." Kyoko's dad arrives at the right time. Godai ends up carrying him on his back, asking for Kyoko's hand in front of him and making himself be trusted by a man that only wants to see his daughter happy. This is something Mitaka could never do. Even if everyone wanted him to be with Kyoko, he never earned her dad's blessing, and rightfully so, not only is he difficult to be pleased with, but also, quite protective of his daughter, although with good reason. Godai's proposal is perfect and the reply is simply beautiful. If Kyoko's dad hadn't been present he would never have accepted Godai as his future son-in-law. It's not just that Godai proved to be a good man that loves Kyoko, is that they love each other in such a way that she wishes never to be alone if she is with Godai, which reveals she has the same concern as her dad, but even so, she knows this is a step she has to take in her life, in order to be with the man she loves. Is there anything left to say? 2 episodes remaining... |
| THIS... this is the best episode in Maison Ikkoku and the latter half is the best scene in all of anime I've watched, I was in tears the whole time. Godai san finally proposing properly (disregard the miso scene) then few seconds of silence, which felt like minutes, and then Kyoko san asking for one promise. Even if it's just by one day. Please live longer than me. This is the most beautiful line ever. First time around watching MI this line was in my mind for days, it's so beautiful and touching. Kyoko san was afraid of being left alone... again, as was his father, which is why he tried to oppose the marriage at first, but luckily all this happened. Aaaghh I'm still in tears! |
