So Morita is in the awards? O_o

Anyway, good character development for Takemoto but still a failure in love. lol

Kazu-san is actually better than I thought.

Haha! I bet they saw Morita! Those "cute" aliens were obviously patterned from Hagu. I guess it's high time for Morita to have an appearance again. Even better since there hasn't been any development between Takemoto and Hagu yet.

Takemoto figured he would have things set by the time next Christmas came around so it’s hard when he realizes that he’s still there at the party this year. I like how his thesis matches his feelings; how he knocks it down when and then rebuilds it in a more careful way.

The scene at the end where Kazu really wants to help both Takemoto and his mom out was so sweet. I was tearing up a little. The hand holding part was a powerful scene too. From his old dad to his new one.

I was thinking it’d be Morita who they see on the show but the guy had blond hair. Maybe he dyed it? Haha

Kazu-san :3
Every character in HnC is so well fleshed out and realistic. The cast is one of the best in all of anime.
Mayama arc is over :(
Oh well, Morita is back XD

I'm 120% sure its Morita. I hope he will return to Japan. But then I realized, there is no progress between Hagu and Takemoto's relationship. Hehe, and that little about to progress was even blocked by Shuu-chan.. Haha.

The bed scene with Kazu and Takemoto was similar to the one with Mayama and Rika. Maybe we're touching on a thematic point concerning the nature and importance of relationships?

In any case, it was an interesting episode. Looks like Takemoto and Hagu will get to spend more time together. I bet the person on the TV is Morita.

I dont understand why Takemoto decided to repeat a year. I mean, obviously, they would give him more time to finish the thesis since he is hospitalised. Maybe he wanted more time to explore what he wants to do?

Morita is coming back, not that I want him to be back.

Poor Takemoto got friendzoned again, and Kazuo san is a really good father.

takemoto T__________T

loved that moment with his stepfather. best boy is always so relatable, especially when he was talking about how lost he felt. also i know sakurasou is obviously heavily inspired by this, he & sorata have like the similar struggles which makes them really relatable & real. takemoto is a very well-written character :’)

LOL i’d bet the person who won the mocademy award is morita!!!!!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

I forgot that Takemoto struggled to accept Kazu-san as his stepdad. Shame one me, the family (re-)union made me tear up a bit. All the bits about Takemoto right now were actually great. His work on the tower of adolescence, his new and yet untitled work, his resolve, him overworking himself causing an ulcer to grow, the patching up of his family. That was well done. The inner monologue about being lost resonated with me a ton as well. I also liked that it was made clear that Hagu doesn't think of Takemoto romantically, as I struggled understanding her. Takemoto seemingly wanted to confess finally, so he can make Hagu fall for him. Which probably will have to happen soon now, for alien reasons.

Ippei is Yamada's consolation price. He even looks like Mayama. I can ship Rika and Mayama in peace for now. It's not the best solution, but it works for me. Also, I recently learned that Christmake cake in Japan is a (hurtful) term to refer to women in her mid-twenties who aren't married, yet. Was that supposed to reflect onto Yamada, when she was selling them?

Now this anime was produced in 2005, and it doesn't look like it had the biggest budget. And I loved this episode, but I also devoured the manga, all ten volumes, in one long weekend. For those who haven't read the manga, I wonder if this episode really did much for them? From the perspective of someone who has no knowledge of the upcoming plot, perhaps it is actually a little boring, and sort of like an art school soap opera where nothing much happens.
