Another incredible episode. This series really knows how to deliver. The soundtrack was also particularly nice.

I've come extremely close to crying on previous episodes...this one took me over the limit. Amazingly sweet but terribly sad.

What a masterpiece of an episode. The music, the story.

Impossible to say who had it worse, he for thinking she abandoned him, or her for being right there and not being able to do anything.

So touching, so beautiful.

Man, this anime will break my kokoro.
Hotaru prefered to turn into a firefly and say goodbye to that guy even though she knew she would die as a bug, sad.

What a bittersweet and depressing episode..

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Takashi has no problem with a drunk chick passing out on his bed just because she's a youkai, lol.

Sad yet beautiful ep. Hotaru finally decided to say good-bye to her lover, and her lover when saw the firefly understood it was Hotaru. They could meet at least once more time before parting ways.

Hotaru you were a beautiful firefly. I’m glad they both got to see each other one last time. Really touching episode.

ye nice chilled episode. My guy natsume really generous with sharing his room for others to sleep in, especially with the women xd
but dude, he loves to jump to conclusions i swear lol, sees a youkai near a human, comes to the conclusion it's probably possessing them and fucking BOOKS it when it comes relatively close to him. Dudes on edge 24/7 i swear
God, theres this one specific part in the OST track in this anime i keep hearing and it sounds like i've heard it before in another anime but i can't put my finger on what anime, gonna bug me for the rest of the show lmao.

Beautiful episode, IDK why but fireflies seem to always have a sad story about them in anime

Was there any meaning behind Natsume's first dream and the name he's given to Hotaru based on it - Kiyo?
Just wondering where that came from.

Pace of the episode was very good.
Very dramatic episode, but without exaggeration. This episode has so much positive stuff...

This episode gave me the fear that one day Natsume won't be able to see yokai anymore:'(

One of the best eps so far. The next episode looks interesting.

Good episode and all but why didn't Natsume just act as an interpreter between Hotaru and Akifumi? Seems like they really wanted to force that melancholy conclusion.

Grave of the Fireflies? Yawn...


Tell me about it, that film is stupid more than it is sad.

Barusamikosu said:

This episode? Cried like a baby halfway through and then a good 15 minutes after it was over.
I really wasn't expecting this. Second-most moving moment in anime I've ever seen (if you're wondering, TTGL's final episode is the first).


Aww, didn't cry but there was solid feels felt. TTGL is hardcore, definitely A grade experience.

Barusamikosu said:

The saddest part is Natsume could very well have acted as a translator, but that could shake the marriage decision. I would probably wait for the ceremony to be over and then tell him the story. Not sure if that'd do good or harm, but oh well, I'm not a very people person.


What I didn't get is how even though he couldn't see her he could've still told her how he felt and being a yokai likely could've found a way to sort it out.. seems like the gift of seeing them
isn't so rare.. also they can interact ith real world things, so why not write letters?

Very cool show, I'm enjoying the dub.

Very beautiful ep, and a good allegory of growing up and disappearing dreams and illusions.

This was such a beautiful episode. I think a shed a tear as well.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.
