that essence of school days at the end...

Well, thankfully this show won't end as bloody as School Days, though I do tend to see Makoto Itou when I look at Haruto in the last few episodes. Not as much of an a-hole yet, but definitely getting there.

I really like the romantic tension between the main leads; best part of the show by far. Asuka may be really loyal, but she just doesn't have the same chemistry with Haruto as Eba does.

Oh dang, awkward. .
I like Asuka more and therefore feel sorry that her boyfriend is not really devoted, but I can understand that if he truly loves Eba more, it would be complicated.

I really don't get people that blame Yuzuki for this. She was trying to avoid messing up Haruto's relationship. She told him how she feels and that she plans on moving forward finally and threw away the gift he gave her, telling him that they wouldn't see each other anymore once they were back in Tokyo. Haruto is the one that didn't let her carry through with it. Her reason for doing it is the same reason Asuka (in the manga) basically gave Haruto an ultimatum when they were visiting Hiroshima. She told him that she loves him too much to be around him, so if they are just going to be friends, it would be best if he went back to Hiroshima after graduation. After that, Haruto asked her to go out with him. Nobody got mad at her for basically telling him that it is either date me or lose my friendship.

Yuzuki never stopped loving Haruto. It was just too painful, for both of them, right after Kazama died. Haruto rushed into a rebound relationship and those never work. Regardless of what he tried to tell himself, he never stopped loving her either.


I didn't think they skipped that much, frankly. Most of what they skipped was Haruto and Yuzuki reminiscing about the first thing he cooked for her and stuff like that, as well as Takashi trying to hit on Kiyome and Rin getting in the way and pissing Kiyome off. Since Kiyome isn't on the trip, that makes it tough for that part to happen. They also changed the reason Yuzuki stayed home with Haruto, which is good, because that was one of the lamest parts of this part of the manga. I like that they stayed because Haruto's grandma was ill much better. They also didn't have Yuzuki yelling at him that he can't swim when he jumped in, which is too bad...

All in all, I thought they did it pretty darn well. It had the same feeling of "correctness" when they were at the pond for the fireworks and when Haruto refused to let Yuzuki run away from him again. Then the sense of dread when Asuka was waiting for him at the house.



Thank you.. i'm glad i'm not the only one who feels that way. I'm guessing people haven't seen or been in this type of situation they can't relate to it, but if you do or have, you would understand it better. I like Asuka, but there's just no reason to string her along if he still has feeling for Eba.

@mrbakchoi888 : i love your posts, couldn't agree more.

-----

definitely the best episode so far, they adapted all 4 chapters from 135-138 into this one and they did it pretty well. It didn't make me teary-eyed like the manga did, but i still love it.

also, i think 2nd ED is a lot better than the 1st one


and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'|

ouch that ending! Damn I just knew things would turn out this way just didn't expect Asuka to be there... I really wonder what's next and what the final episode will offer, if he'll give her a proper answer and what his decision will be!

That scene with the necklace at the pond...wow. So well done. So much emotional power.

I was annoyed with Eba for the Kazama situation (especially for not even telling Haruto what was going on). And I like Asuka a lot. But how could you not feel sympathetic towards Eba in this situation?! She's giving up the love of her life because she BELIEVES it will make him happy! After all they've been through?! Such symbolism, such raw EMOTIONAL POWER!

That kind of scene can leave such an impression as to be series defining for me. Was Eba confessing predictable? Perhaps. But some scenes are so powerful that IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER. Execution matters. And that scene, in my opinion, was tremendously well executed.

Edit: Also, such a great job by the Voice actors in that scene. Especially Eba's Voice Actor. That scene felt...so real... The way she said she liked Haruto, she didn't just yell it at him, but she said it with a tone of voice that seemed to suggest that she was embarrassed or sheepish about it, which was understandable considering the situation.

I paused the video while I am in the middle of the episode to watch some fireworks too ahahaha.

See, never lie again!!!! Haruto, you should have just told Asuka the truth =_=

Haruto and Yuzuki are meant for each other, that's why I support them.

I feel sorry for Asuka :/ Asuka needs a guy like me :3

I hope that the ending will satisfy me :D

What Bad Timing for the confession. He has a Girlfriend you know!?

Oh shit..I was screaming "OH MY GOD" when he opened the door. I can't believe that happened.

I don't know why everyone hates Eba. Asuka is just a rebound for Haruto, and he knows it. He's just afraid of hurting her, but in the end, he did. *Sigh* Eba loves Haruto so much... she's putting aside her own feelings to give him what she believes is his happiness. That's true love.

Haruto went on another date with Eba. The fuck Haruto. Asuka should dump you. She deserves better. We also get some flashbacks too. Haruto also lies to Asuka. Not only that but she cathes him red handed. Holy shit man. Also why can't Eba make the descision to go with out with haruto before he dated Asuka. Good episode nonetheless.

I don't really give a shit about Haruto and Yuziki lol This whole show is devoted for them with all that chopped stupid flashback backing them up. Everything is so predictable which makes this show less entertaining but more like a chore to watch. I'm all for Asuka though. She deserve someone much better than Haruto. Now go yandere and end this show lol

This Yuzuki bitch is actually pissing me off. She loves him so much that she doesn't want to be near him for most of the series? That makes zero fucking sense. Shouldn't that be even more of a reason for her to be together with MC?

Eba and Haruto are both scumbag characters, so they deserve each other.
Eba dumped Haruto to go out with someone else because it was her duty? Why did she not tell biker guy that she had a boyfriend and end it right there? Her reasoning is damn stupid. Not to mention she leaves him after the guy dies which is even more stupid.
Despite all this, Haruto is still chasing after her even though he has a girlfriend. What does he see in that cold bitch, I will never know, but they deserve to be miserable together.

Asuka, you go find someone else that cares about you!

I think another way to interpret Kimi no Iru Machi is by their haves and have nots. The characters want that which they can't have, but once it's within reach, and especially when they have it, they no longer want it.

I'm reminded of a certain character from the Monogatari series, but in this case, the characters aren't actively trying to mess with the feelings of others. Instead, they're just truly, honestly, and frustratingly indecisive as all hell.
