| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Did that Barbie doll seriously blink..? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| ^ exactly what I'm thinking. Pretty creepy |
and i guess that i just don't know |
| Hmm, well nothing is ever as dire as it seems in this anime. I really liked the OST this episode |
 |
| This episode was calmer. Madoka looks like she's never going to be honest with Kyousuke. She obviously gave up going to America because of him. |
| This episode was intense in terms of what was at stake. Wish we'd get more episodes like this once in a while between the silly ones. The music and insert songs in this anime are so good. I don't get why insert songs are plentiful in 80's anime but are close to uncommon in modern anime. It's like the average anime today wants to be carried by its animation alone and don't focus more on the OST so we get forgettable pieces. Why can't we have both? I wonder if Madoka actually left for good would Kyosuke actually fall for Hikaru? I think that's unlikely but the next episode might change my mind. I hate her laughs. Sounds like a she-horse. Edit- Rewatching this episode after a few months. It still holds up. |

| I re-watched this episode today too, and man, it's better than I remember. I always thought it was a nice episode, but the mood, music, and framing certainly elevated things. The characterization of our three leads is particularly strong in this episode, too, with Madoka's mysterious facade being chipped away - Also, Kyosuke was written to be caring and earnest, which is how I like to remember him. (Rather than jealous or perverted as he is in other moments) The mood up to the swingset scene was good as it was, but that scene really solidified things for me... Sure, it was technically a misunderstanding, but it's relatable coming of age moments like this that really shine in this show. "Jenina" is still one of the best songs in the series, by the way. Maybe I'm just easily moved by good music! |
| As expected, Madoka wasn't going anywhere. She was pulling a prank, and she was successful. While it's not as funny as the previous episode, which relied in Kasuga making a total fool of himself, this episode pulls off an almost confession but not quite. And perhaps to the original tv viewers who were waiting each week for a new episode, this was a welcome development. Some of the animation depicting faceless crowds of people are stunning as well as the level of detail with blowing leaves. |
