| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The series is great, and this episode proves that Himawari-chan was not an evil person, as the way it seemed back in episode 11. Watanuki sure has changed a lot! Can´t wait for the last episode! |
 |
| Watanuki realy changed..and so himawari-chan it was a good episode, at least something happened ^^ |
 If you listen to fools, the Mob Rules! |

| |
| i wont do anything lame like watch them on veoh or youtube. i prefer better quality stuff... fan subs have been a bit slow lately... i guess proves the harsh econimic times hahaha well good things come to those who wait....so they say. |
| Eps. 11-12 could have been a good end to the series. The stuff in ep. 13 happened earlier I think, or at least the stuff with the electric thing.. |
 |
| Perfect episode. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Brilliant episode. I loved this arc in the manga and I felt they executed it well. Plus Tanpopo is just adorable *¬* |
|
| This was a beautiful episode! I absolutely loved it! The soundtrack was amazing! This was definitely my favourite episode of the season! I can't believe the series is coming to an end! |
  |
| I am happy about the ending but the beginning was freaky. Very high price to pay for both of them but Himawari was the most that payed...having scars on your body from someone is a harsh maho exchange but worth it since she had to save his life. That egg was brilliant (a bird that nullifies all her bad luck from having effect as long it is with her, hmmmmm, interesting). If I were Yuuko though I would either drain spell the bad luck or find the culprit responsible (trust me bad luck always comes from a source no matter what cause universal law says that bad never exists or comes on its own {yin-yang balance} that which comes around goes around for the balance of cycles. Just some thoughts. I wonder what happens to Kohane? |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| I thought this ep was a little slow since I've read the manga, but I still liked it. (I've been waiting to see Doumeki all covered in blood animated!) Nice way to wrap up the arc and show the growth of the characters. |
   |
| Beautiful episode, it was really well done. It was one of my favorite parts in the manga so im glad that it was indeed a nice wrap up n_n Tanpopo expecting its name was so <3 Im just wondering how its gonna end now... |
 |
| Ah finally watched it, took me forever to find a subbed episode =.= :D Loved the episode, so Doumeki gave his blood and Himawari gave her errr skin??? >_< Tanpopo is such a nice name for the bird! Super cute! |

Just some thoughts. Yuuko can't do anything. That's her biggest tragedy, and the reason we have both holic and tsubasa. If Yuuko could interfere freely she'd off Reed at the beginning and everyone would be happy, all with their powers, eyes, fingers and other things. This episode kinda seemed slow compared to manga, but I really liked it. I just love the bond three of them share. Also, Tanpopo was animated so good!! I didn't like (once again) lack of the tsubasa reference, and Syaoran. Isn't it time already for "Don't disappear"? I thought that was in this arc. Anyways, nice wrap up. Much better than Kohane arc. |

| The best episode of this season, without a doubt :) I was really looking forward to watch it, and finally the subs came out. I love this part of the manga, and even if they did change some things about it, they made it work perfectly. Himawari's story is soooo sad, and the way she tells it makes it even better, it has the right mood and pace. Poor thing, such a high price she had to pay... Watanuki sure has changed. He's not that reckless anymore, he knows the consequences of what he does or decides not to do. Pretty funny, though, to watch him that serious and then running, screaming the usual "Himawari-cha~n" xD |
 |
| Aaw, I loved it. :3 They did this episode really well, especially Himawari's explanation. It just makes it all the more sad since she's smiling all the while. I love how much Watanuki's grown~ They could have made this the final episode, actually, and it would have fit perfectly, but I'm still glad we get one more. :] |
     |
| As always, it was a perfect episode. Would really do great as the last episode, but it ok anyways. |

galluvton said: As always, it was a perfect episode, BUT. In the manga (of this episode) Yuko came and talked to Watanuki about stuff, and thats when the most touching thing happend - he told her "But who grants your wishes, Yuko?" I think the fact they edited it out REALLY SUCKS. It was a perfect moment, and they completly screwed it up. Other than that, it was a perfect episode. That's because that question connects to whole Tsubasa plot, and they left out everything that has anything to do with Tsubasa. |

| i guess that´s why there´s a holic OAD coming out next year... it is indeed different from the manga, but I think it was damn good! anyway, there´s still epi 13! |
| |
| Well, finally Watanuki knows the secret of Himawari. Its so cute the little bird that born from the egg. |
| aww ok so Himawari isnt bad and Watanuki is nice and the thing with the bird is so cute ^^ 6/5 lol damn the scale doesnt go that high |
| I finally finished watching the penultimate episode and I'm so glad to finally see this particular arc finished and animated. It was one of the better episodes (despite the exclusion of Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE references) and I found that the explanation of the nature of Himawari was nicely explained. It was certainly a tear jerking episode and had me slightly teary-eyed at some moments of the episode. I also like the Tanpopo-Watanuki dream sequence and the bird itself was rather adorable and as always I like the typical trio interaction with each other. All in all, I really liked this episode. I'm really looking forward to the last episode of the series. However, even as the penultimate episode, I actually found that the ending of the episode would have made a good ending to the series or am I alone in think that? Regardless, I can't wait to watch the next episode. =) |
 |
| I half expected Watanuki to make Tanpopo's name Pu. >_> But I guess that's the end of the series huh? (I'm guessing that the last episode is just merrymaking.) Well that was an awesome way to end it!! I'm glad they finally told us about Himawari. =3 |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| This episode was pure awesomeness! The bird was really cute!! I wish people would stop spoilering things about the manga as I cant even read these topics without being spoilered. Would everyone please consider there are people that havent read the manga that far >.< |

Hhahahaha Now we wait for the OADs! ^_^ |

| Himarai-chan ;____; Such a sad/happy episode. |
 |
| this was a great episode.. demo i reaLLy thought that himawari is kinda their enemy.. ;p i dont know if im relieve or not.,aha! is himawari~chan in love with watanuki ? gRR.. i want yuuko and watanuki to end up.. though i reaLLy like their relationship as a master and servant..lol |
| I loved the price that Himawari and Doumeki paid for Watanuki, that shows they really care about him!! Was a bit creepy when Himawari first mentions what she did to pay the price and then showed the scars though, which I love! Awh, Doumeki and Watanuki are always deeply bonded in some way, like blood brothers. :p |

 |
| Doumeki is really care about Watanuki huh? it's so rare to find that kind of friend |
     |
| The birdie! It is cute! *adores* I really need to get up to date with the manga, though I still have a lot of chapters to read.. ^^ |
| It took Himawari 98% of the way through the series to finally display some evidence that she's more than a one-dimensional character. Well, whatever. Better late than never, I guess. Although now it feels like they've forced Watanuki x Himawari upon us as the OTP. First because he said Himawari's smile is the most important thing in the world to him. Second because Watanuki is the only person to accept Himawari now for her true self. Third, because Himawari is bearing his scars. It's a lot to try to change my mind about after Himawari was so hateable for the entire series up to this point, and I was hoping Watanuki would realize his attraction for Himawari was shallow and obnoxious and then go with Zashiki-warashi. |

| Tanpopo >3> Great episode (like every episode :P). 5/5 |
     |
| I loved this episode! This is going to end and omg I am exited but at the same time I don't want that to happen! The bird is just so cute and I am glad that Himawari can be happy with that beacuse I always knew from the start that she wasn't good for Watanuki but that she had no bad intentions. (I am glad it was that way) The thing I wanted to know is the price and yay! It was a lot indeed! Poor Himawari she took the scars? Aww I am glad anyways that she can be happy :D |
| anyone know the name of the song that plays at the end? |
 |
| Great episode. |
 |
| These last 2 episodes were definitely my favorites. Watanuki accepts Himawari and her dark side, and Himawari will bear Watanaki's scars for the rest of her life. There's something beautiful about that. And that chick is the cutest thing ever! |
 |
| wuuuu! favorite episode :) im so sad i read a spoiler about himawari.. so i cant be as happy as i would be if i didnt know about the spoiler :( |
tag©.androgynous  |
| This was quite a good episode they really put some good effort in this arc, lets see what the last episode has to offer but this really made a good story already that boosted my point rating +1! |
 |
| This episode was so touching and I finally got to know what was up with Himawari. I did wish Watanuki was a bit nicer to Doumeki. Even if he didn't know the price he paid, he knew he had become a customer of the shop. Unless he forgot since he did sleep for a long time afterwards. |
