| Whoa! The DEEP episode came and it did not disappoint! I'm glad the animatoprs didnt decide to do a lighter anime based on the manga, and went with the tragedy that is KnJ. Messed up childhood begat's messed up childhood. Poor Reiji's mind must be an absolute mess. |
 |
| Just had to comment on this episode since I began my Kodomo no Jikan marathon. A serious episode which jerked some tears from me. The background information really helps to see why Rin acts the way she does. |
 |
| I almost cried. This episode gave me a whole different perspective on this Anime. I am really starting to love the development, suprisingly. o.o On a different note, Reiji's bed comment harsh threw me off guard. |

n0ob3d said: At first i looked upon this anime as typical loli ecchi material but this episode has gained its respect of something more than that. Im starting to look at this anime in a better light than before. This. |
| Didn't expect them to have this kind of story in an anime about a loli seducing a teacher Lol. Weird I see this cousin incest thing in anime quite a lot. |

| I didn't expect them to talked about Rin's mother. The story was so sad, that I couldn't hold my tears. I think when Renji hugged her mother and said he'll protected her (when they went back from the beach) was the best one. Set aside the cousin-love thing, I think I kinda wished that they could get together. They're totally cute couple. This is really the best episode. |
 Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Sad ep, glad we got to see some background though. At least Rin's mom found happiness in her remaining days. |
| El Psy Congroo まだまだだね!!! |
| Awesome. I enjoyed that girl sensitiveness in writing this very touching episode. The cousins in love are funny to watch. The interrupted sex scene is conceivable only by a woman, lol, but I liked it very much. If I were a woman, after this episode I were fall for Reiji. As a man, I can only admire him for f***ing such an awesome girl like Aki. AND to have the chance to love her. GO REIJI and beat the crap out of that spineless roricon teacher!! |
 |
 Just some of my input: That was a really sad episode :( Poor Rin losing Aki is such a tragic way. The character development was rather well done. :) |
| this episode really explained a whole lot. I was really impressed with the storytelling and wasn't expecting the cousin relationship twist, like, at all. Twice the taboo :)!! |
 |
| That ending was really creepy, Reiji is weirding me out a bit. |
 |
| I saw that coming...same year as Clannad. |
 |
| finally a good story part omg I cried it was sooo sad ( and I dont cry easily from an anime) T^T poor rin ... and poor reiji |
 |
| Started rewatching KnJ at work and remembered exactly how much I loved this show. Can certainly look on it with a fresh perspective now I've read the whole manga as well. You can't help but sympathise with Reiji after losing Aki. Cancer is something that is not often used as a plot device in anime, at least from what I've seen to date so it's always something interesting to see. Rin is still the most adorable loli ever created, regardless of her age though!! =) |
 |
| I never guessed a serious drama episode would be in this kind of anime and to be honest I loved that they actually added it, it gives all the characters and the whole anime more value! They did the whole episode correct and even put some serious sad moments in! Really amazing episode that pumped up the score for me as well! |
 |
| wtf.. I didn't ask for these feelings... I just wanted a show with lolis in it ;_; |
| なんとかなる |
| that was a really sad story |
| Damn ninjas cutting onions again :( |
| Holy shit that was sad....god damn.....I was not expecting that.....but I think that episode may have bumped up my score for this series. |
 |
| I'm so glad I didn't drop it. This episode was beautiful. |
| Man certainly wasn't expecting this type of quality drama going into this anime. Really impressed with this show so far. What an awesome episode. Anime never ceases to amaze me. |
| Wow, this episode left me speechless. I am not a big fan of lolis and thought the whole relationship thing between Rin and Aoki was dumb. This episode actually got me invested in some side characters more than the main characters lol. This was one of the most saddest things I have seen in anime/manga besides Sundome ending. Aki and Reiji really seemed to love each other even if they were cousins. It is probably because it was basically them against the world, all they had was each other. The sex scene was done really tastefully and had a romantic feel to it, so it was nicely placed. Gosh, this episode made me so sad :'(... Aki-chan, I love you too girl, you're such a trooper. |
| Well.... No news this will be the best episode of the series. I know that dramas itselves are usually touching and appreciated, but this one here was really well done. |

| My kokoro broke, poor Reiji and Rin. Life is a bitch, why did she have to die right when she found someone who loved her. |
 |
| Yup, by far the best episode. Didn't expect to see an episode like this in an ecchi/pedobait anime. Also, this is one of the few anime I've watched where the show actually bothers to give the "sickly dying girl" a real disease, rather than lazily leaving it at "she always had a weak body". |
| Wow, this came as really big suprise, to show backstory like this, it totaly changes my view of Reiji (and Rin too... all those cranes, so sad). This was both heavy and well done in terms of character developement. Just one episode and it almost made the rest of the series and its lolicon character so shallow when compared to this. Almost like different anime even, totally different quality level, Clannad I see you there. Now I only wonder if they can even surpass this with their forbidden teacher-student relationship. |
| Y'know from the first episode I thought this series has had above-average production values and some very thoughtful direction. So, an episode like this does not feel out of place at all. I think it fits perfectly fine, and is made more powerful by the preceding eps, cause they are pretty subdued in tone and this feeling has sort of permeated a lot of it. I'd say it's up there with some of the better backstory episodes, which in my opinion, have a tendency to fall flat or feel disconnected from the rest. Good stuff. |
| I'm legit crying... It really unfortunate that people dropped this anime before seeing this ep (or too afraid to ever try this anime) I can't wait to see what will happen to Rin's relationship with his sensei and what Reiji's opinion of it! |
| I'm not even surprising to see an incest sex scene in this anime XD what a dramatic episode... didn't make me feel sad though, the mood of the previous episode is way too different... this episode just felt out of place but whatever it was still fine stuff |
 |
| Well, alcohol is the worst, really.. Destroys your brain, and you become not human pretty much.. That bear in the end is the bear toy Rin has, by the way.. It seems to be showing again and again for some reason in this anime.. Maybe it's important.. Well.. You can't do anything about that illness.. You heard what Aki said.. She said therapy only would prolong her life for half a year.. So her time came.. As all our time will come sooner or later.. I personally am happy more or less with what I do in my life, what kind of experiences I choose.. I'd want to experience even more anime and stuff.. But also there will be endless of this as well.. I wouldn't be too surprised if anime would actually go into Rin and Reiji going into erotic relationships as well after Aki's death.. With how this anime was going so far.. But I guess writer decided that there is already enough stuff.. |
| what's the point in inserting a heavy plotline with series of distraught in a Pa..do simulation.Makes it more of a whiplash if anything else. |
| Holy cow. I didn't expect this at all. Second part of the episode hit me hard. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| what the heck is this... I'm watching this anime expecting one thing and one thing only, just to get... those damn ninjas! |
 |
| i didnt remember that this episode was so sad and emotional but what was with reiji pulling up rins panties at the end :D? |

| I rarely see subplots contained within a single episode as being effective, simply because they're too short, but this one suprised me by being very emotional and captivating. Reiji went through a lot. |

| I never would have expected to cry from this anime ;-; The cousin incest confused me at first but I suppose it's not unexpected in a show already centered around taboo relationships... This ep heightened my opinion of this series a lot, from "trashy dirty pleasure" to "wait, maybe there's actually something good here?!" LOL |
| well let's just say i was NOT prepared for this. i ugly cried at the end even though i almost never cry/ tear up , like literally. this episode alone raised the rating by one or two stars. kind of reminded me of yosuga no sora, when Sora ran away, very similar feels. this arc was AMAZING!! |
slice of life anime, my precious. >3 2D>>>>>> |
| Great backstory exposition. The visual metaphors went a bit overboard. |
