| Damn that breakfast scene made me tear up and the ending made me happy. It took 8 episodes, but I can finally walk away happy. Best episode imo. Nothing went wrong, and dat ending was the best. That breakfast scene had me stupid tearing up. Kayo finally got a taste of a real happy family. But damn all the killer's shit was in the bus where she was at. Thankfully Satoru becoming up with them A-1 plans. Satoru's mom is the best. Died laughing when she asked if she was in the way. This really the best episode in terms of ending on a good note. Next episode shit is going down. Can't wait. |

| How can Sachiko not be that perceptive when she got the same voice actor as Conan? :V Great episode! |
| mother vs mother fight next week? |
| This episode was SO cute and SO sad, specially the part when Kayo was remembering her "Everyday Breakfast" I was close to cry with her... UGH And Satoru with his "Yes, you do" before sleeping like SATORU At the end, another episode with a 10/10 for me♥ |

| Satoru's mom is goals |
 |
| We need more Best Mamas in Anime. |
| I did enjoy this episode. Although, the killer is more than obvious now and it's really doing my head. This scene made me laugh though. |
  |
Too much goot in this episode. |

| Yet another 5/5 episode, still a perfect score for me. Really hope the last episodes don't become rushed... Seeing Kayo crying over a simple home-made breakfast broke my heart... She certainly has been through lots of shit :'( About the ending: YEAH, F#@ you, Kayo's mom!! |
 |
| Excellent episode all round. Really heartwarming as well, Loved how everyone is working together to save Kayo. I absolutely love it when Satoru says stuff out loud XD That breakfast scene T.T . Must have been hard for Kayo, Getting by with half-assed breakfast each day. Seeing a warm breakfast for the first time must have been one of the most beautiful things she's experienced :) Satoru's mom sure is perceptive, Satoru is definitely right when he calls her a Youkai XD The standoff ending, Hope Kayo's abusive mother gets what's coming to her. |

hm2p33 said: Right now is really obvious the teacher is the murderer for me. And that last scene o.o. The breakfast scene was touching. I'm getting the feeling the mother is going to be murdered in this timeline, don't know why, maybe because her conversation with the teacher. I hope you are wrong. But I expect you are right. The teacher has been giving off a real bad feeling for a while now. Plus from the few glimpses we've seen, they look very similar. Chin, nose, hair, build, choice of clothing: all the same.  |

| I wanted to cry twice but I was in class so... Someone mentioned that they thought it was the teacher and now I am really suspicious of him. But over all the episode was wonderful and very heart warming. |
| feels/5 ;___; <3 ps. i love this OP so much i mean i always loved AKFG and Re:Re: but this series gives it even more meaning and all ..and i listen to it like 10 times after every episode :D Fits the show perfectly ! |
 |
| Sigh I knew this was going to turn into one of those weepy crying anime. These sorts of cliche "feels" things just don't do it for me unfortunately. And the killer who has been super obvious since pretty much the start is now even more obvious for me. I don't know this show is still alright but it's just so much more cliche and typical to me now than ever. Why does every Japanese drama seem to have to come down to emotionally manipulating the viewer with touchy feely stuff revolving around cute girls, their suffering and catharsis in the long run and how often are shows going to keep playing this card for easy critical acclaim by fans in this medium? And like I totally get it, nice breakfast by good anime mother, used to being treated like shit by the textbook bad anime mother, cute anime girl gets her break sort of finally, but why is this supposed to especially make me cry and lose my shit when it's again just kind of cliche? Probably a 3.5/5 episode regardless just because it finally manages to demonstrate that the show can function without need of cliffhanger every episode though it has to fall back on other typical anime standby's instead. |

| - Am I in the way here? - Yeah. Lmao! This series is so great. I almost cried when Kayo started crying. 5/5 |
| Right in the feels episode. Really wanted to know more about the mystery, but still like episode very much. |
 |
| I think the Murderer kicked the box that was in the bus because his plans aren't going the way he wanted after Satoru started to protect Kayo |
 |
| A very touching and heartwarming episode. I think we were all due for this one after the emotional roller-coaster we've been on the past few weeks. Are things finally turning in our favor with Sotaru and his mom confronting Kayo's mother? I have a sneaking suspicion we're not at that point yet. This show really makes appreciate what you have, if you were raised by decent parents. It certainly has made me think. |
| For a second i thought satoru's mom and the sensei are the killers I thought satoru is "kidnapping" kayo so whyyyy did his mom tell sensei??? Its supposed to be a secret~~ Grunkalunka said: [quote=hm2p33 message=44901151 If he really is the killer then he's a true yokai. 29 y/o and 47y/o yet looking exactly the same??? Orochimaru will be so jealous xD |

| What!? A heartwarming episode and a harmless cliffhanger in my ERASED? |
 |
| Well once again this show has somehow managed to surpass itself with its best episode yet, and considering how good it has been up to this point, that's definitely a massive achievement. I'm starting to become more suspicious of the teacher now, but if it is him he's certainly putting on one hell of a good act by working with child services and all that. As for Satoru, I'm kinda surprised that he didn't think of taking Kayo to his house sooner, though I suppose he was worried his mother would just send Kayo back to her mother (not as though she would though). Oh, and I'm hoping he didn't leave the killer's stuff in the bus. Sure, doing so wouldn't tip off the killer that Kayo and co were there, but if they took the killer's stuff surely that would have been taken in as evidence, even if not initially linking to the abduction cases. Oh, and seeing Kayo cry over a simple home-made breakfast was so sad. Just goes to show the kind of hell she's been through, the kind that no child deserves to endure. On the bright side, the ending makes it seem like that's coming to an end at last. Here's hoping. |

Orochimaru will be so jealous xD Actually it was shown that the killer is around his 40's as he has wrinkles on his cheeks which are shown in the opening and on the first episode. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Teacher kind of confessed... He said he knew where Kayo was so it's obviously him entering the bus leaving his tools. It matches his appearence (see opening), I bet the guy in tuxedo in present is him too. |
| This episode was really really good. This is how an anime is supposed to be if they stay faithful to the original source. If they do that, they can never go wrong, well at least in all the animes I've seen where they stay true to the original source. |
| Seeing Satoru's mom making curry yet again and having Satoru's female fried over for dinner is kind of foreboding for me...because she died soon after that in the beginning of the anime... |
  |
| I joked in episode 2 that and every episode makes it more and more obvious. That phone call was a huge mistake. Big mistake. I think the production of this anime is 9/10 but the cliche on who the killer is lowers it to an 8/10 for me. If I'm actually wrong (which seems increasingly unlikely), I'll put it back up to 9 though. |
 |
| 10/10 this episode is so enjoyable and beautiful. What's better? the cliffhanger isn't that terrible this time!! 11/10 AOTS |
| I'm a manga reader but the scene with Satoru crying because of the gloves and the one with Kayo were still really moving. I cried hahah The bathing scene wasn't in the manga but I found it great! I still wonder if they'll be able to adapt the 20+ chapters left in four episodes... (MANGA SPOILER, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET!) |
KirmiShinigami said: I have a theory that Sachiko can time-travel... I mean, how come she knows almost everything? There is no way she would know Kayo was coming, unless she can time-travel or smth... I don't think so. She is generally a solicitous mother and seems to be genuinely good person. |
 |
| RIP @ this anime series... rushed madness incoming... |
| What a nice and warm episode after those earlier tense ones. Still though, these cliffhangers. ... *sigh* |
 |
| Such a great episode, the breakfast scene was so touching. When she asked Am I in the way? and Satoru just burst out with 'Yeah' was hilarious. Can't wait to see how this confrontation goes. |

Every movie is cliche, every tv drama is cliche, get over it buddy it is going to be very rare to find something 100% new. Since all kinds of story has been made, everything will be cliche. Can you name something 2015 that isn't cliche? Probably not but that's why I'm not fawning over it and it's IMO extra typical and cliche of "acclaimed anime" of late. Just bust out the stuff to get peoples tear ducts working....except it doesn't work on me. Kougeru said: I joked in episode 2 that and every episode makes it more and more obvious.

If I'm actually wrong (which seems increasingly unlikely), I'll put it back up to 9 though. It's not cliche so much as for some reason they chose to make it glaringly obvious really early on as if it didn't really matter if there was any sense of mystery there or not. Frankly it was the first sign that told me this really wasn't going to end up being much of a mystery thriller anime and was going to focus more on the whole cute girl suffering/manipulate the audience into crying material that it has in the long run. It's like they figured lets get that mystery shit out of the way so that the viewer isn't distracted when we go full bore into this sad mistreated girl in the snow storyline #10564251. I swear it feels like the show has spent more time on Kayo's doom and gloom scenario with her mother and being murdered and trying to make the viewer sad for her than it has on anything else including the whole bigger picture that started it off which was to stop a murderer from ruining the MC's life period. Of course you've gotta get the do-overs in these to make it feel more like a visual novel scenario or something I guess so he gets to go back in time to try multiple times. Hopefully it's just done with her sob story now so it can get back to the aspects of it that interested me more in the first place and got me to give it a chance in spite of my correct suspicion that it would fall back on the Nakige style tropes and cliches I'm just so damn tired of in modern "mature" anime. |

| I swear I was as scared as Kayo in the beginning, I was just chanting "no,no,no,no,no" in my head and when he actually went away, I could feel a stone falling off my heart. Such a relief >.< The rest of the episode was quite heartwarming, Kayo was adorable and Satoru's funny ideas...*shakes head amused* Satoru's mom is definitely the best anime mom. Though calling the teacher.. Kayo's mom should just rot in prison, totally despicable. |
| "Am I in the way?" "Yeah." top kek |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

I personally feel that you might be reading too much into it.

It is possible that it might be just slightly cliched, but I think it is more towards the sincere spectrum and not really forced drama. Just my 2 cents. |
| Anime gave me more life lessons than school |
defne said: amazing episode as always, heartwarming and wonderful (and no cliffhanger this time! yay) <3 5/5 Even though it was really sweet and heart-warming episode, it really made me depressed from all that underlying "you can't fight fate" message. Despite the fact Satoru improved Kayo's situation leaps and bounds by now, killer is still around and if the is indeed the teacher as spoilers told me to, there doesn't seem to be any real way to stop him. Even if spoilers about killer were wrong, he is still at large, Kayo still isn't safe and other kids may still be in danger too. :-( So, do you wish for a happy end or are you prepared this would be bitter*sweet at best in the end? |

It's just really really REALLY typical and trite J-Drama stuff as opposed to force. It fits the scenario, just the scenario is the kind of thing I've seen played out many times in J-Drama lately so the impact is pretty minimal for me. |

| God! that scene at the end ToT those mother fuckers know how to make a man cry like a little girl! |
| best episode by far. the entire episode i was waiting for something bad to happen but it looks like everything is being fixed slowly. i'm still kind of suspicious about the teacher though. still wondering about who the killer is. kayo crying shot me right in the heart. it was really sweet. |
 |
| Emotional rollercoaster. I loved the scene where they went to sleep together. The teacher is getting more and more suspicious =_= |
