THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A lot was shown in this episode, though most of them only deepened the questions. First off, whose is the body floating at the dam, and what was it doing there. The relationship between Makoto's parents and the priest were explained somewhat, but also opened the question of Makoto's relationship with his mother. Also Masayuki's father's apparent affair with that doctor, and how exactly it plays off in the whole scheme. There was also a number of other smaler issues, like who was that weird guy at the lab with the mouse, what exactly did Tarou and Makoto do, as it wasn't an ordinary projection,and etc.
IMO a nice ep, no particularly boring moments, since a lot happened in it. Really like that blonde bully's reaction to Masayuki! XD

Really good ep. The scene woman in which Masayuki's father sees the woman at the bridge gave me chills. The lab scenes will probably remain mystery for next few eps.

Yeah, that blond guy seems to be comic relief in the show, definitely made me laugh. There should be more to the relationship between the Makoto's father and bunch because if that is it just then the mystery behind them is pretty stupid, it probably has something to do with the damn or something that happened there. What I am curious about is who is Miyako's mother? Her father did this weird glance at her during his telling of the story and her characteristics fit Sanae, so maybe? I guess that is probably just a baseless speculation.
Anyway, overall it was a good episode.

Questions were answered, but more questions just keep popping up. Probably the best episode in a while that has gotten the plot moving a little faster, and Miyako can be so moe. When she smiles. Smile damn it!

It was cute seeing Tarou get excited about seeing Miyako at the damn. But yeah, this episode was really enjoyable. The background music/sounds really got to me. Very much looking forward to the next episode.

Great episode as usual. Damn makoto's dad is emo to the max. "When a person goes through that door, they are no longer a person." Makoto's dad: "OOH LETS GO THROUGH THERE!! CMON GUYS!!!" Rather interesting that makoto and tarou were able to just go into his memory of the evnt like that and see it firsthand, funny that they left masayuki out. xD Also funny how makoto brought up the fact that he could take on the wolf form. "Hey guys I can turn into a wolf kthx." And that poor guy always following them around is so in the dark but they don't seem to care if he knows what they're talking about. And what I wanna know is, even though it was funny, how did that bully know that masayuki was the ghost? Did he pay THAT much attention to his eyes? o.O

Nice episode. A good balance of humor and plot. That poor blond guy's reaction to Masayuki at the dam and Masayuki and Taro's reaction to Makoto's transformation were priceless. While I like the show a lot part of me's worried that it's already half over and I still have no idea where this is all headed. What is the big thing the old hobo in the woods talks to Miyako's dad about and is there a point to the story?

Hehe, yes! Except this one seems to like to look up Outori's dress.

Overall I liked the episode. No matter how slow any of these episodes are, they never seem to be boring.

Some questions are answered now..but there keep more coming up ~~" actually almost everyone is suspicious lol....masayuki's father has an affair with neurologist, huh? what's up with masayuki's mother? the person which is playing video games is his sister, isn't she? ôo

I think Makoto and Miyako are half-sibilngs. <--good point, i was thinking the same ôo

besides Sanae could be related with makoto's dad? maybe this was the "sin" which where spoken of? hmm

makoto's grandma seems to know a lot but she doesn't appear right now to lighten up some things uhh ~~

I feel like this is so not going to end, lol what's with the explanation and questions... But I do love the pacing, feels like they gave us enough time to actually grab the story wholly.

Lol @ everyone's adulation towards Miyako. She's sweet ok.

I honestly prefer these amtospheric slow paced animes that has more in depth information to provoke you with all these philosophical aspects than the random hyped anime that give you emotional heartattacks from the crazy fast pacing and it's weird cliche-anime ways to only either make you laugh painfully at its stupidity or make you feel like you've just stepped down several levels of intelligence.

Either way, awesome episode with more questions to poke at you.

I'm glad there weren't as many appearances of the nakedbuttpointyearhumongousbrainchibispirits. They really turn off my senses to take the scenes seriously.

i wonder who's the person that floated in water , now i understand when miyako said that the dead person went inside her so when masayuki and makoto and taro went to the hospital and were shaking and sweating , she was too, looks like she experiences the same thing that happened to everyone who enters the damn i think?? well we're gonna find out by watching the other episodes : p other than that this episode is interesting in everything (art,music,characters) 5/5

Always love when we get backstory, although it was a bit random to see Tarou and Makoto there.

Also them spotting Makoto's mother was so creepy, her expression gave me chills until I realized that she's not a ghost.

Masayuki's dad is cheating with the neurologist hoe? Guess he isn't into Tetris...

Looks like Sanae is also with some rando now too. This episode definitely has a focus on character relationships, with all the happenings and reveals around them. Not sure what the purpose of the bully characters is. They seem irrelevant to the plot and brazenly approach them at that dam to bully the second-years again, like there aren't a crowd of adults around them.
