Guess the stress of all those matches made him ill then eh
being ill alone can really be tough

don't think sleep will cure fevers though
thats a pretty long escalator
the escalator to heaven eh

Lol its momo that comes calling him when he's ill
lol it's an ambush by Akari, Hinata and Momo to secure the well being of Rei
But its nice that Akari realized what was going on and took immediate action

Its great to have friends that both live near you and care for you
Rei is lucky that Akari and her family only love across the bridge though
And its nice that Akari knows Rei so well as well lol

Lol watching Rei being so awkward when Akari and Hinata are taking care of him
hmm so his dad's been pretty worried about him as well eh
well his adapted one anyway
No one's ever on their own though
That scene though where Akari showed Rei all those missed calls of his was actually quite warming to see

Its nice that Rei realizes that there are people that worry and care about him as well.
Lol everyone falling asleep under the kotatsu lol
Waiting for the new year though can be exhausting though yet exciting

Hmm i wonder what happened to Akari's parents though
sad that Momo never got the chance to meet their parents though
Hmm so Akari still misses her parents dearly eh
Guess Rei's illness was timely then in a way as he being here takes her mind off it.

Lol but thats one way of spending new years eve then though
I hope the new year would be good for Rei and Akari and her family as well
its great that we get to see what they do on new years though

Mochi eh
looks tasty
Lol Momo is still as active as ever
Hinata's reaction on hearing the postman for the new year postcards lol
Lol Hinata's quite hyper with regards to the new year postcards lol

hmm sending postcards for new year eh
quite a curious thing to do in Japanese culture
quite the large fish the shogi chairmen has caught lol
hmm new years money eh

Hmm Aunt is pretty nice in giving new years money to Rei as well
Lol saying that Akari kidnapped Rei on New years eve
Lol so she wants something in return eh
hmm so Akari's gramps and Misaki's father didn't agree to Akari working in Misaki's hostress club then eh

Akari looks so different when she's a hostess though
lol Misaki is quite the shrewd business woman eh
Lol her dad thinking that she's a demon
hmm traditional new years food in a modern format eh
That really looks delicious

Lol the explanation behind each of the food was pretty cute
being able to taste the fruits of your labor is always a great feeling
lol so their bath is in the living room eh
I guess that Rei can feel at ease around Akari and her family because he too longs to be part of a normal family as well

A great episode as always
Seeing Rei get ill after all the hardships that he has faced this year was sad but seeing Akari and her family take notice of this and come kidnap him to take care of him was sweet though. Rei is lucky in that Akari and her family only live nearby and that he has good friends like these to take care of him. It was interesting to see what they actually do on new years though and i was quite surprised. Misaki's view on Akari though was certainly interesting.

And the new years food that Akari and Hinata created and the explanation that was created for it was well done and was really cute.
The lesson learned in this episode is that no one is ever alone.

Well I doubt I will get a response anytime soon but the song at the end of episode 11 with the piano sounds very similar to some other song and I am having trouble placing it. It bothers me a lot when it comes to music so if anyone has any clue what I am talking about it would be much appreciated

We're at the halfway point and I think I'd give the show a 8 or 8.5 right now. Hopefully, the second half maintains quality.

Aww, so cute when Momo put that band on Rei's forehead.

Agree with the sisters' aunt: It doesn't matter that Akari works for her, the main point is that she must have her own life outside of both Momo and Hina. It's amazing that Akari is taking care of her little sisters but she shouldn't forget about her own life.

If you weren't here, right now I'd probably be cleaning up by myself and crying.
This hit me really hard, and I'm still not too sure why. Maybe it was just seeing someone as respectful and gentle as Akari expressing such sorrow hit me more personally than I thought? I really enjoyed seeing Rei getting taken care of this episode by the Kawamoto's. It was so wholesome, especially after the Kyouko-ridden anger filled episodes we have gotten recently. Their operation of abducting him was really funny.

I teared up when both Rei and Akari crying. Previous ep is pretty heavy good thing this ep happened. I also felt very nervous when Hina went to Rei's house I thought she will meet Kyouko arg.

I don't really understand, how people can fall into such condition for 3 days, if it's just cold.. Well, I mean, maybe when I was a child.. But after teen years, I never got such huge colds.. Yeah, I could get cold and stay like for a week at home sometimes or something.. But I never really was even for a day in condition to only sleep.. I just wonder here, if people indeed fall ill like that.. Or if it's just in this anime.. I have no idea..
Hm.. Kawamoto sisters actually have quite a lot of people they know.. Well, with how many New Year congratz they got.. Why they even like Rei anyway then?.. And give so much care to him?.. They literally could be hanging out in their home with anyone else.. Why him?.. Or maybe they do hang out at their home with other people?.. I don't know..
Eh?.. Why be embarrassed about bath?.. It's not like they'll bath with you or anything.. ;p

I'm currently rewatching this wonderful anime, I didn't thought about reviewing the episodes here up until now.

I've been sobbing quiet a lot on this rewatch so far, and this episode was not the exception. It was just beautiful to see Rei enjoying peace, with people that actually care about him despite everything. After all the heavy stuff on past episodes... like I can feel the peace he's talking about, every scene inside the Kawamoto house bring me peace and joy.

If you didn't like the previous episode, which is arguably the peak of the first season, then my friend I have bad news for you since the season 2 is gonna suffocate the fuck out of you.

unfortunately, the japanese audio was damage, so i had to switch to the english dub :(
the cats sound horrible. though rei's voice had been nice, i still like japanese voice cast more. gotta say it ruined the emotion for this episode a little.

anyway, i love seeing rei finding his "family".

the scene of rei and his sister made me feels like there was some kind of bond with his true parents. hope to see it.

really heartwarming to see rei feel like home at their place. it's like he was one more family.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Wholesome episode, good to see Rei being comfortable in the kawamoto household.

"This old house had everything . . . all gently embraced together, and then it dozed off."
That ending was peak schlawginson 😭 The visuals were so good too
man.
