Yuuki...
Wow, that was a powerful episode. I'm like, tearing now, and I'm not the kind of person to cry at animes :P. I think that the info posted in Mayrika's spoiler would be too hard on the viewer, I know that it would be for me.

No! Yuuko! Don't die! D:
Okay, I kind of figured she'd die. Whenever she would appear in the first season or whenever she appeared in 'present day' this season, I always thought she didn't seem alive. She seemed like a ghost or something of the sort. Plus, there must've been a reason she wasn't with Himura. But...a car accident?! THAT was how she dies? -___- That's just pathetic! I expected her death to be a bit more...meaningful somehow. Instead, it just a petty car accident :/
It was still sad though, I just wish it was different.

OMG, I just recently watched the whole series, I was amazed how it was connected to the first season and at the same time got a bit depressed, because the story was so sad and on the other hand it was a great anime masterpiece. I would give this a 10/10. Is there an english version of this game and on what platform? Is there a PC version? kindly send me a PM if it's ok =D

I nearly cried on ep 10 LOL

I got a hunch that this would happen. First of all, I didn't see her actual appearance as a "live" person on the first season.

Anyway, the overall execution is great. I'm really moved.

By the way, I did notice that all of the characters here are linked together even in the past.

Sad episode T_T But it wasn't as intense as some scenes of the first season though =/ Could have been done better...

btw: I was very surprised to see Pictures of my Hometown Heidelberg popping out of nowhere o.O They even included a picture of the S-Bahn Station Heidelberg-Pfaffengrund-Wieblingen, wtf.... xD
maybe Kuze went to Heidelberg? xD His music would fit this city perfectly ^_^

this just bumped up my score for this series. so touching. just incredible, to me this season was lacking in comparison to the previous one but these two episodes, especially this one, redeemed it full force.

why is it in every romance drama a girl gets hit by a car and the driver keeps driving? Cant they come up with something else or spice it up a bit?

After seeing the part with Mizuki seeing Kuze it brought back my hatred for how they're in love with each other. She's way to young to hook up with him.

Also looks like the Yuuko we've been seeing pop up in present day has been an angle or a ghost.


Ya basically the randomness of how she died kinda ruined how sad I would've been and instead I was like ...LOL WTF.

It looked like the writers just needed a way for her to die so they said, "Hey! Car crashes occur often so let's just have her get hit by a car!" It was really kind of dumb...
Yeah, that really took away a lot from the moment. But I still almost cried like a little bitch

Cars are indispensable eh?

Grab 1 or 2 and knock it into Chihiro and Yuuko.

How did Yuuko end up beside the tree?

Did the impact made Yuuko flew there?

Baka, baka, baka, baka!

Sheesh, I knew Yuuko will die. It was almost obvious that in "present" she's kind of an angel or something. But come on - car accident? On Christmas?
It's the stupidiest death ever. Living through everything she experienced and being killed by a car... I'm speechless...

And coming back to the tune Kuze played - sorry I didn't read the whole thread - wasn't it the same song he played for Yuu and Yuuko? The one that Yuuko wrote lyrics to?

Lmfao its funny cuz i didn't even notice it was black and white (or muted color) untill you guys mentioned it xD Yeah it was really sad how she died. But i think that its saying that these things just happen without warning and one minute you have dreams and things to look forward to and the next, all those things disappear.

i cried so much here, not just cause the car hit her but the whole thing.
Yuuko got in an orphanege, where she found 1 friend who plainly said no.
then for years she got raped and abused by some psycho.
When she finaly had a good live a car passes by and she got killed, driver never stopped or anything.

tl;dr
I knew she was going to die eventually since she doesn't appear in the "present", but making her die by a car incident was EXTREMELY stupid, banal and cliche. I'm seriously disappointed, this drama was way too predictable and forced.
Dropped my score from 9 to 7, let's see how it ends.
2/5 for the episode.

I just re watched this episode in the color version, and I was quite surprised how... colorful it was. There is some part of me that loves the way it was aired, probably because it had such a huge impact that I can't let that experience go.

I still loved watching it in color though. <3

May all cars and their drivers go to hell. Amen.
For some reason, i'm so shocked that I can't even cry.
But seriously..after all she went through, THIS is what killed her?

And how much can a person take? Surprising Himura hasn't been sent to the lunatic asylum yet.


I'm hating this. I want happy ending. NOT THIS.

NONONO. I didnt NOT know this would happen. My beloved thoughts of Yuu and Yuuko reuniting are shattered. This is the saddest thing in an anime I have EVER witnessed, no lie. This is breaking my heart man.

On to other things... Ohhh, so that's what Yuu mouthed in the last episode, "You're Miki." So, everyone is connected, right?

And you know how Mizuki is so cheerful all the time? That's from Yuuko, because Yuuko told her to never cry, and always smile. I mean, seriously, that breaks my heart more because you're wondering... does Mizuki have some tragic pass? Hell yes she does...

I mean, her life is very messed up and I feel horrible for her :(

Gorramn it.

They made it fairly obvious ahead of time that this was going to happen. They made it clear that in the present she's some type of ghost. Kuze even said directly that Yuu could never see Yuuko again.

Yet it still manages to be the most tragic thing I've seen in anime, apart from a certain "After Story"... and even that is up for debate.

Just like this? no ambulance, no police, no newspaper, Yuko has been HIT BLUNTLY by a car and NO ONE of this very STUBBORN community gave a small little thinking on that poor beautiful lady needing to go to the HOSPITAL?

She totally didn't deserve this, at least I know where this anime is leading to. =o

lol thats what we call it now a days. Yeah it was already told in season 1 but did they have to kill her this soon... I mean they just got together and seemed like a family with miki. If they pull a clannad, I will lose all respect to Shaft. Honestly, wat is the point of dying if they do a restart. fcking clannad and i gotta catch them all.

You know they have a crime called hit and run.....
and it happens about every few weeks....


I more so want to know who the heck throws a ball in the middle of the street & then NEVER goes looking for it again. Balls just don't come flying out of the middle of nowhere with no one to come get it. At least not as long as I've lived. =/

Wasn't it made obvious that the ball was blown out on the road by the wind?
Orphans played with it, including Yu and Yuko, from early childhood, and left it lay around the church grounds.
