| Ehh, this episode was boring. The previous two-parter was much more interesting. Hopefully, something will actually happen in the next episode, since it seems to be about Sakurako. |
| This episode had a slow pace, but was still interesting about Sakurako's dead cat. I guess the second part of this mini-arc will be more engaging, but at least this episode didn't bore me. Yuriko's outfit was nicely done though. ^_^ Although I do understand Shoutarou's concerns, he does have a tendency to complain and whine a tad too much. It goes to show the major difference between him and Sakurako and how they can never agree on certain situations like with Sakurako's cat. |
| I wonder why she keeps the head of her cat with her. Interesting episode, I like the atmosphere. |

Me thinks Yuri has some 'yuri' feelings for Sakurako. After this episode it's hard to give a damn any more. Everything in the series feels so pointless. You have an autistic bone freak, you have a kid with too much time on his hand, you have a girl with some kind of saviour complex, a botanical freak, some things happen and it all comes down to absolutely nothing. It's like a story written for a school assignment while thinking "ok, 300 words left, how can I pad this more". |

| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| so a cultural festival episode and the dude took someone's bones shit that's disturbing and she stole cat bones? |

| Morality. Looks like sakurako wants to investigate her brothers death probably. mrcmc888 said: Is this supposed to be a healing anime? Murder and death don't seem very healing to me... When someone dies you are hurt and get trapped in the past, but you should move forward and heal which is what's this anime is about. Sakurako san doesn't not appreciate life as much as she should or something because someone died probably. Which is why shoutaro wants to help her by getting her too feel again.

Not everything needs complex plot and developments, only 3rd rate reviewers think a series must have those. So far the characters and the cases are nice, but we'll see how it wraps up at the end. |

| That first half isn't so bad...need more of Yuriko. Cat bones are missing...since Sakurako was holding the cat skull...does that mean she took it? Might be possible since she even try to bring a human skull back home when they found it in early episode haha. When you starting to doubt someone, that is when all trust are lost. |

 |
| Sakurako would have loved my high school's lab, it had a complete human skelaton. About the whole pet cat turned into a specimen, for someone like Sakurako to do such a thing is actually a proof of how much she cared for the animal. She named the cat and then labelled the cat skelaton as such, that's huge coming from Sakurako. Those final moments were really weird and piqued my interest. |
 |
| Free cat skeleton, Its like payment for helping that teacher out. |

| Not sure what to make of this episode. It was neither boring nor interesting, nothing much happened except at the end. |
 |
| shoutaro seems like annoying this ep, if that cat was death so long time ago what's the problem? |

La_Matona301 said: Geez, I wonder what's the fuss about Tatewaki's concern for Sakurako's dead cat. "Even if I feel like I've made a connection with her, we're very different person" It is obvious that Tatewaki admires Sakurako in a special way. I believe he is just mad that Sakurako perceive the dead cat in a different way. He whined and vent his frustrations on Sakurako. A very immature move from him |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| anyone else think she has a secret room with her brothers reconstructed bones in them? for some reason this episode made me think something like that was a possibility. |
| I wonder if Sassaki sensei killed Natsuko? |
| Shoutarou is too emotional for my tastes but it's completely understandable why he got upset with Sakurako-san. Still, crying? I'd understand if he was crying over the loss of his own pet but it's really none of his business how other people metabolize tragedy and the shock of losing someone or something. BTW, he looked ten times better with his fake glasses on. I'm more curious as to who Sakurako was talking to at the end. |
| 臭い- |
| In terms of drawings and set designs, the episode is great, the quality is of great level. Speaking of the narrative there are no faults to report, on the whole episode is a more than satisfactory. Mystery and atmosphere make it interesting spot on the vision of the story, I'm curious, I look forward to the next episode. I must admit that the episode, I loved it. |

Coldbid said: anyone else think she has a secret room with her brothers reconstructed bones in them? for some reason this episode made me think something like that was a possibility. I think so too. The show itself is about moving on and letting go of the past, so Sakurako's obsession with clinging onto remains is perceived as being "trapped" and unhealthy. About the cat thing, I've always been interested in dissecting animal remains (pigeons, squirrels after seeing them on the road) but I don't think I would like to do it to a pet. |

| i actually really liked this episode, the character interactions were enjoyable. and sakurako has a fiancee, didn't expect that. |
 |
| Can't wait for next week's episode because I have positively no clue what the point in all this is so far. |

| I loved how much they depth into the bones topic now. To be honest, I find Shoutarou's personality to be quite assertive and appropriate for a boy of his age. Plus he seems to be very emotional and sensitive at most times. I like him. I've done so since the episode of Ii-chan. |
| It was nice to see Sakurako at school! I am really curious to see her fiancé! I hope they show him until the last episode. |
 |
| oh... something mysterious now. Shoutarou just acted like a spoilt child there lol. |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| So the one in bed was....her brother? |
 |
| got a bit sleepy watching this episode... 3/5. |
 |
| Shoutarou is starting to get on my nerves; he is trying to force his ideals into Sakurako and baiscally acts like her parent restricting her to do anything rash? I'm sorry mate but the world doesn't fit into your ideals and then he starts to get emotional when he sees a cat bone? She can do what she wants with her own cat and if she doesn't get affected by what she does why question her? Grow up stupid kid. At the moment, nothing really felt important and the backstory doesn't really give it much interest either. I want to see if it gets better before I drop, just sharing :/ Edit: Just read the thoughts of previous posts; fair enough seeing a different point of view on this |

| Its so annoying that Shoutarou is such a whiner and a nag. My goodness. -_- |

| Good setup episode with a deceased professor, Sakurako's uncle (?) in the hospital, and another glimpse at her past ... so she had a cat huh? Personally I find Shoutarou's reaction a bit exaggerated, I mean sure I can see why he'd be upset but not everybody has to do things exactly the way you do ... IMO Sakurako did the best thing she could with her cat's bones, given her love for them. I wonder if she stole the cat bones from the boxes? :O Either way, this episode was a bit weak and the characters aren't nearly as compelling as I thought they'd be at the beginning :( Hope this arc gets better! |
gedata said: `Shotaro looked like he was gonna cry when he heard how cold Sakurako was when talking about a cat that died years ago. What an overreacting baby. He's really annoying. |

jucheck said: aratinga said: lol shoutarou is such a pussy most annoying character in the series |
| That sensei is awesome. We need more of him. WHERE IS THE FIANCE!!!!!!! I really like this anime. But this is an anime that you marathon, and not an anime that you watch one episode per week. |
| Boring episode to me, too many of the conversations feel like they are just there to move the plot forward. |
 |
| Pretty interesting start of this arc, let's see how the story continues! |
 |
| i find shoutaro annoying this episode tbh (and sort of always). i also hate how the camera focuses on the legs/chest sometimes. |
 |
| i am a little confused about the cat skull. was that of her own cat or were they really cat bones in the boxes? DarklordVor said: We get it. That Sakurako is kind of heartless since we meet her in the beginning. Now we're going to go to her past about the cat. There is no way she is heartless because she understands people. She just has different way of thinking, that is all. Nothing that she did was cold and cruel, she just doesn't always fit to society norms. |

| Shoutarou is weak. He should stop going for Sakurako go with Yoruko instead. He is not fit of a man for her. The closest thing he could be for her is a replacement for her dead little brother. |
MagitoJan 29, 2016 8:27 PM
| What's wrong with that shounen? It is really no big deal what she did with her dead cat... And yeah, I'm not sure what's going on yet so I can't wait to watch the next episode! :D |
 |
| School festival... I didn't expect this kind of cheer in this anime. Nice to see Yuriko again, though. I guess this episode is to show how utterly different Sakurako is to Shoutaro, he kinda got upset about that. Though it's seem Sakurako isn't totally unbothered either. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| In the light of this episode, two things are clear again: Shoutarou is a crybaby and Itsuki is fucking annoying. |
