Why the hell did she wait so long to untie him?! I mean, really, she had to go and give him a speech while he's unconscious before untying him? Given, yes, it was a very touching speech, but I just couldn't fully appreciate it since during the whole thing I was thinking, "Untie him already!"


My god I was thinking the exact same thing. Just sitting over him crying and talking while he's bound to a chair, seriously what the hell?


i was also thinking the same thing. it ruined the scene for me. but i never liked haruka anyways so i probably wouldn't have been touched by the scene anyways. i did enjoy the part where yakumo said he wasn't dead though. lol.



yea seriously? she should have untied him first then talk all this shit on the way out.

Ghost: "Don't leave the house!" *she walks out immediately to find Yakumo* Damn it. She is lucky the plot shield is on her side!
The minute he told her to stay there I thought, 'She's going to be stupid and run off somewhere isn't she?' And...sure enough.
(I also found it amusing that Ozawa just waltzes right into a kidnapper's secluded cabin. Who does that!? At least peek in the windows first or something!

^Thought pretty much the same thing--minus the speech being touching. It reminded me of the two of them casually talking on the roof while the house was on fire in the first ep. They just seem to love to chatter away at inappropriate times.

I'm going to be a contrarian here - but gawd, I hate idiot plots. The only good thing about this episode is that they didn't drag it out any further.

What do we have here:

- a ghost who helps the idiots find clues
- a ghost who saves the idiots
- idiot protagonists who run off without telling anyone
- idiot psychos who waste time explaining things
- idiot cops who not only don't carry guns but fall for the same trick twice in a row

Essentially, everyone has to be a total idiot to make the arc come together. That is piss-poor writing.

This could have been a decent series, now it has turned into brainless mush.
^Sadly, this.

So Yakumo's mother and Yakeda are really dead. It's kinda sad.
And I didn't expect a little child can do a brutal murder like that T^T

I listened the OST and I couldn't find the track, which was playing while the true story was told by Goto-san. If it's a classical piece, of course I won't find it on the OST. Can someone tell me the title of the track?

Damn that was good! It seemed like the ending although there are still 4 episodes left so I wonder what's next actually, for me the story rounded of pretty good here and everything ended well quite touching and nicely!

Maybe we'll see a bit more development between those two? The last ending was quite nice with the concert! Lets see what's next though!

Hum.
I was expecting something better since the last episode was decent.
This series really is just a huge disappointment.

I like it and wasnt too bothered by silly things. I mean I dont take anime too seriously anyways..

To ne it was sad and touching but yeah indeed didnt get why he was still tied up (and in the meanwhile if they were unlucky and he was still tied and the evil guys would show up he couldve done nothing :') )

Not sure I get why people are complaining about the untying ropes part. She legit thought he was dead the moment she saw him. So, she was basically overcome with emotions at that point and broke down trying to plead to him not to give up on living.

Now, the part where the cops legit did nothing and even Gotou getting stunned again was pretty stupid. I guess they needed a way for the exposition to happen.

Overall, a very touching episode that brought some tears to my eyes. Even if some parts were silly. It's a good story, and you know what, that's all I ask for. If the story is enjoyable, that's fine by me.

Those cops are so incompetent.
Gotou falling for the same trick twice and the other doing nothing is pretty bad, especially since they had the element of surprise.
Also Haruka is lucky she is a main character or she would have died so many times already.

Thank God that arc is finally over and done with. I don't think I could stand any more coincidences happening.

Still confused about how people in the world feel and react towards spirits and ghosts. Everyone seemed to be able to see Takeda in physical form. I don't think the show did a great job explaining the rules. Although, I may just be naive to such details.

The soundtrack can go kindly fuck itself. Forced sad music to emit some emotion from me only makes me angry instead.

Happy ending after all, and a touching finale to this story. I wonder what Yakumo's father is going to do, now that Yakumo knows the secret.

Also Haruka crying and giving that generic speech instead of actually untying Yakumo was funny in a bad way. Good thing the villain didn't appear.

What an idiot Goto is. He knows this bitch has a taser, yet the most effective attempt at neutralising her he could come up with is the worst attempt at a chokehold ever, not even restraining her arms in the process. Even just tackling her from behind and pinning her arms behind her back would be more efficient than that.

Also, Japanese police officers are authorised to carry firearms (which is usually a revolver), so you'd think a detective would have one, but Goto seems to have absolutely no weapons at all. If he wasn't trained in useful martial arts for subduing criminals like judo or ju-jitsu—which every law enforcement officer should be—then what is he doing out in the field with no weapon?
