THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Although a tad predictable at times, a great conclusion to the main story for this season. Maru and Moro were even cuter than usual. ^_^ |

I loved this episode. possibly the best so far. I didn't like the little argument between Doumeki and Watanuki near the end. It kinda spoiled the mood. It would have been better IMO if Doumeki had just accepted the invitation, then on to the next scene. |

Its kind of obvious that she was like some spirit of his dead mum or something of the sort. >.< Anyways, great episode, and pretty emotional. |

Did anyone else notice the lady looked alot younger this episode, I think she was one of those creatures that sucks out your lifeforce so they become younger. Good solid conclusion to the story and next episode should fill in a hole or two. My anime list My claimed anime My claimed character |

I don't really understand why Doumeki insists on that he doesn't see spirits yet he still sees them :P If he doesn't see spirits them how did he see the woman? |

A great "finish" to a great season. I'd love to know what the woman was, too. Both suggestions make sense to me. I think Doumeki can't see spirits in general, but some spirits can be seen by anyone. Case in point is that all of the characters can see the sprites. I think there are specific spirits that no one (but Watanuki of course!) can see, and those are the kinds that can't blend in as a normal human. Does this make sense? |

Nice conclusion... and I liked how Watanuki finally accepts Doumeki and immediately go back to their quarreling selves. |

WinterNightsFall said: Its kind of obvious that she was like some spirit of his dead mum or something of the sort. >.< Ah, no, it definitely was a spirit and not his mom. Cause... Can't say! Ah, it was a great ending tho! I wish Watanuki would stop playing so dense, tho! Doumeki didn't want to lose him even at the cost of Watanuki hating him, and all he can do is invite him to lunch?!

ah really liked the first person point of view towards the end. this is actually the second experience, first being with the 30th chapter of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, though i think they made it better.

Doumeki didn't want to lose him even at the cost of Watanuki hating him, and all he can do is invite him to lunch?! DX you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking of such dirty thoughts..

I thought it was like..a manifestation of his moms regrets of leaving her child behind or something but I suppose i'm wrong. Really good ep, can't wait to start the movie and season 2. I actually liked this show so much, i watched it all in 2 days = x. There are things that cannot be seen until one is hurt. "7S" |

I thought that maybe her son died of that incurable cough of death Watanuki was developing, and she was some kind of cursed ghost or something because of that. It feels a little strange that there's another episode to conclude this season though, what with the nice ending in this episode. Really liked the anime, definitely going to watch the next season :] |

One of the best anime episodes I've seen in a while. Very balanced. |
