Meme filled episode makes me happy especially with last episode being a disappointment. We got her backstory and everything else about Meme and this episode is the best in the anime. Melodramatic, beautiful, and cute. Meme has that sparkle ability as well as her grandma and Erio so it runs in the family. Glad she has some love interests too.

5/5

It is undeniable that Meme being a small kid as follows,

is amazingly cute. MOE over 9000. Not to mention her smile that is as cute Erio had last episode and Meme's face with sparkles in the spoiler
is the core of Meme's charms this episode.

Erio the way is in the following,

just screams Oh marry me my sweet Erio among many guys.

I shall say the rocket in the spoiler
was a big WTF? How they combined the fire with the water going and how did they make the explosion that big less it was exaggerated in the anime. Hey the blow out was as big as C4.

Regardless 3 points of the father:
  • Unless he changes his hair colour it's easy to find out who he is.
  • The father definitely could go for the person that came from space and is an alien.
  • It keeps bugging me that suddenly he is not around but I noticed his eyes are censored. Now why is that? Meme can't remember those eyes?

Amazing episode, I feel sad for meme as she pretty much spend her birthday alone ^^
It really funny how everything sort of connects, from Rocket guy trying to get close to Erio (and failed) to the mayor show from grandma and what i think is also Meme giving Eliot a formal "goodbye bastard" to Eliot

@Yumekichi11
I don't think she doesn't remember him, after all he is the father of his daughter (If Erio is 16sh that mean they where together at least until she was 24 or 23 if he dipped when she hit him with the news). Probably someone will appear with the same hair color, and they keep the eyes censor as a the final piece that differs them or maybe Meme wants to forget him. I'm just guessing here though ^^

I will agree with you for the sole purpose they are keeping it as a last piece puzzle. TBH I do wonder what will the eyes have as special. If they punk us with some alien stuff who knows my reaction, let's leave it at @ following anime:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/9834/Level_E
that did such a amazing punking job, it's unbelievable that I try to get ready of not being punked and this series has raised my standards with all this cattle mutilation.

On the other hand I have observed the alien stuff being just a metaphor for other things like in this episode the grand-ma was expressing as though she knows she will pass away soon.

Wow, they actually wrapped up all that stuff I wanted them to. o.O
This and the episode where Erio and Niwa "fly" are now my two favorites. How I am getting so excited about bottle rockets and bicycles flying into the ocean is beyond my comprehension, but I freaking love it.

Too bad Meme refused his proposal. I kind of feel sorry for him, somehow. Oh, and we have the ear-whisper again! So first Ryuushi, then Maekawa, now Meme. Erio and Niwa next?

Elliot's so sparkly! Just like Erio! And Meme. And apparently Oba-san. I want to see a grown-up Elliot, and I want him to be an alien.

this was an especially great episode
meme is such a cute, caring, and utterly awesome character
kinda feel bad for that yamamoto guy but at least there still friends :D

maybe the whole "alien" thing is supposed to symbolize granny's negativity and pessimism? So by knocking out the" aliens" she returned granny's zest for life which is apparent at the end of the episode cuz she's all sparkly.

Well everyone was asking for more Meme after the previous episode. They certainly didn't hold back.

All kinds of good things have happened at Space Cadet Central because she invited that kid who has inappropriate thoughts about her to live with them, and was unable to convince him to leave Erio alone.

A strange but fun show. I should bump the score back up again.

like everyone has said this episode def was packed full of meme and threw in a background story of her as a kid.

Meme is def a cute character and it seems like she has a lot going on in her life.

I thought it was funny how 28 years ago the Granny was still saying she would be dying soon. It's good to see her up and about.

Also more Meme! It was interesting to see the episode from her point of view. More shows need to do this.

I liked this episode it was a good change of atmosphere we get to see some adults reminisce about their past and love what nots other then always seeing the troubles of 16,17, or 18 year old high schoolers.

Exactly, this is a town in which aliens have been use as the excuse for a lot of events.

@Sartaj:
I agree with you there, she was probably rationalizing the fact that she wanted to be dead so badly, that is why Meme took her to see her husband at the end.

If i remember correctly Meme had a scratch on her hand, maybe she is the one behind the lost animal (probably pets). But I wouldn't be surprise if at the core of all of this there is an actual alien incident ^^

This is definitely what I was thinking too except or the scratch on the hand. I still don't know what it could possibly be caused by.

Regarding this episode, I really enjoyed it. It showed a small recap from Meme's perspective on the last one or two episodes as well as a backstory of her life when she was a kid. It was funny to see the granny shocked when Ashiro launches the firework rocket. Erio was so cute as well.

Not sure if anyone pays attention to the bg music but doesn't the piano track during the scene where Elliot tells Meme to "knock them [aliens] out" sound familiar to you guys? I swear I've heard something similar in Clannad or something.

Could be a cat that caused the scratch.

IMO it's just a song to convey hope and was composed in that sense. Meme hopes Elliot will come back by seeing the big explosion.

Also, everyone in that family has fabulous sparkling hair. It wouldn't surprise me if Makoto grew some fabulous sparkling hair as well later on.

Meme > Erio

It's gotten to the point that if there is no meme it will turn out to be a bad episode hence the last episode. But if there is no Erio then not much has changed.

Why does Elliot look like a douche to me?

Poor Yamamoto. He is a very nice guy but I'm glad Meme didn't accept the proposal. She's better off single anyway.

Anyway, pretty refreshing episode. The conversation of Meme and the grandma remind me of the good old days when I was with my deceased grandma. Oh the nostalgia :(

This. With Meme around, I thought it's just like fooling around but no, it isn't.

The presentation was in a strange and funny way but there's like something behind it.

I was curious as to what are they trying to "knock off" but I think the end part explains it.

It's all about pessimism from their past lives but strangely they symbolized it as alien stuff or something??

And after I saw Elliot, I'm now really looking Erio seriously as Meme's daughter. lol

Also, the hair-sparkles is really bugging me.

No you would take as your wife Rin or Makise. Me? Well looks no further than Erio as she is in the following,

I could certainly live all my life with her just staring at the beauty. TBH this is the best pose, light tone and appearance of Erio I have seen to date. As such having a ideal wife you can appreciate her beauty each day would make you want to stay with her forever, unfortunately we are all mortals. So in a way I demand something immortal that is Erio.

The episode was okay. As much as I adore Meme, it was really lacking Erio as well. In my opinion I like them both on an even level playing field. But the other two girls, just get them the fuck out. Please?

As for Elliot, for some reason he reminds me of like a rock star. I bet he's already had his short lived career and overdosed and killed himself like all other great names do.

No more character centered episodes please? I'm begging here.
