 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
| Akari's sadness was as disheartening as Hina's. Thankfully, Kiriyama managed to lighten her mood. Despite Akari's own conviction, she wasn't mistaken. Watching Nikaido go gung-ho over Kiriyama's deceptive passion was amusing. |
| I guess I'll just have to cry during every episode now. Does anyone else think Hina might develop feelings for Rei and end up hurting even more in the long run? Just a thought :/ |
| I can't say that I've been in love with this bullying arc. I mean, it's obviously a genuine issue and I appreciate the fact that the show has addressed it in a serious way, but it just has that irritating reek of A Very Special Episode kind of thing like American tv would do in the1980s where some random crap sitcom would amp up some shit about a comedy character dealing with a random "tragedy." Blah. I still love this show to death but I'm just not feeling particularly interested in this storyline and I hope it ends asafp. |

I didn't claim that this arc was random and I am well aware of the bigger issues that this arc introduces because I've already read the manga. I love this show, as I said, and nonetheless I don't love this very specific arc. Obviously it's just my opinion and it'd be ridiculous for me to say that, if you really feel strongly about these episodes, that you were wrong. It's just my personal view of a couple of episodes of one of the best manga and anime series of the last several years. |
| Wow, Rei is giving his all for Hina, from asking for advice (which seemed pretty practical) and even getting some practice matches in with Nikaidou! Although he's focusing on the prize money and not becoming best friends LOL XD Great scene in the second half with Akari, it must have been very tough for her having to become a "mom" at 19 >_< So I'm glad that she was able to get some encouragement from Rei. Sorry Hayashida, I guess I'm shipping Rei with Akari now and not Hina ... even though I don't think any romance will be involved in this anime haha :P |
| I really liked this episode. We saw some significant progress here in Rei's rehabilitation. That's one thing I always have to give this show. It's willing to let the characters change. And it's tried quite a few different things in its run. I am kind of wondering (not necessarily impatiently) how much more time its going to spend on this one story though. It's moralizing and presentation of a story about bullying. Got a bit more in depth in this episode I found. I especially liked the way it got into Akari's reaction. It was a little cheesy maybe. But guilt over being unable to help with another's problems is a very real thing. And a lot of times you can look back at how you reacted to something. And think poorly of yourself as a friend. I thought Rei's pep talk to Akari about her misdirected emotions. Coming from her strong desire for Hina to be happy. Was a very sweet and touching scene. If a little on the nose. |
 |
| Kiriyamaaaaaah Aaaaah <- The most hilarious scene so far in both seasons of Sangatsu Rest was okay. |
| If you see a bully, punch them in the face then kick them in the groin. Stopped quite a few bullies in my day. |
 |
| Can this even get any better? But honestly, Shaft, why couldn't you deliver greatness as this in the first season too? We literally have to suffer through it to get here but at least now it seems it was worth it. After great previous episode the feels were really strong this time too, and the art also! Loved the dialogue between Rei and Hayashida in the beginning and for the first time maybe, I liked the following comedy too. The moment when Akari realized that Rei actually weights less than her, that was just priceless :D And again, I say it: this series is the strongest in its daily-life interactions with sisters (including Kyouko). When compared to it those shogi matches feels like boring chore, so I really hope there would be fewer episodes devoted to it. |
| Well ill be damned the comedy was actually funny this time around, and the drama at the end with akari seriously hit hard. This show just has a way of being the most relatable thing. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Appreciated the complex look at bullying. Par for the course when it comes to Umino Chika's writing. |
| Really loving this arc. My favorite of the series so far. |
 |
| well this just gets more and more feels worth... I am also perplexed what could be the answer to bullying |
 |
| Very lovely episode and man that ending was just great! Really loved the general flow of it and that ex-homeroom teacher moment was just hilarious! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I really love how this series plays itself out. Everything just works and keeps on working! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Rei is way too considered with the concept of paying a debt of money to Hina when all she really needs right now is support. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| So Rei has started to save money to help his future wife. I approve. Aww, and Hina bought him a Rei-cat. |
 |
| Wow, at least he found a reason to win now. He's doing everything he can to help, go go Rei! |
 |
| Every episode since the good but lackluster first has been out of the park, and I'm loving it. After getting super emotional from the last two episodes, we get a nice and comedic, yet important and heartful episode. Hayashida is best boy, truly doing his alternate persona Reigen proud. Every single syllable out of his mouth was spot on. It's not what the parents or the teacher or the school want. It's what the victim wants. If the issue is resolved but the victim still has no friends, what was the point? They're still lonely. Rei getting fired up for losing a match because he wants to earn money for Hina is so fucking wholesome. Akari getting worried about his weight was hilarious. Her fears about Hina were relatable, genuine, and understandable, and Rei's response was perfect. Another masterpeece episode, 5/5. |
| I agree with the way they described the solution for bullying, it's different for everyone Ara ara, Akari getting angry after hearing Rei's weight, we all what that means.. Akari is pretty impressive, acting as a surrogate mother since the age of 19 years, taking care of her two younger siblings, one of who was still a baby Was a bit surprised to see the title of this episode and suddenly seeing the Teacher thinking Rei is in love with Hina, glad that the confession was something else.. |
 |
| Mwahahah Rei seems describing her girlfriend lol and Sensei Hayashida sense there's something fishy lol Kyahhhhh! Rei didn't even notice that he's declaring his love hahahhahahah Rei is so cute!!!! What he's planning to buy? Why he's into tournament prize? He doesn't care about that before.. HAHAHAAHHAHAHH!!! So he's thinking about Hina's welfare lol he's willing to give everything to Hina.. his plan is too advance though.. very advance!! Hahahahha The 3 sisters are savior of Rei. Best episode so far. I really ship Rei x Hina. Two cutiesss ~ I love them ❤ |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Thank you, Hina didn't have to suffer so much this episode! I thought Akari would cry this episode, and she really did, but I can tell she was still holding it back, she's trying her best to stay strong Oh and Hina's smile at the end made me so happy ♥ I like her so much, love how cheerful and energetic she is all the time, so it was so sad to see her down like that in the last episode |

| After Akari's reaction to Rei being so skinny, I couldn't help but imagine how she'd react if she saw Shimada-san lmaooo now I MUST see it ahhah |
| Another good episode. Hayashida Sensei‘s comments in solving bullying made me realize that there was no perfect solution to it, that it differs depending on the person. And also Hayashida’s assumption on Rei’s feelings towards Hina is so cute. But I don’t think Rei thinks Hina in that way or maybe he still hasn’t realize it yet lol. Also, Akari’s point of view on Hina’s problem is realistic and understandable. |
| Rei has been saved :O and wow he weighs less than Akari xD |
 |
| I wonder, what Rei needs money for.. Well, I mean, he looks really dedicated to winning it all.. And in monetary plan too, it seems, it's important for him.. So what for he needs the money?.. And maybe some big exact sum?.. Ah.. So Rei thinks about such monetary expenses which go with changing schools, or to advocate.. Hm.. Fair enough.. But also for advocate there will always be other advocate.. 52 kilograms is a bit underweight, no?.. Like I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't even be able to donate blood with such weight.. Well.. Now Rei supports Akari.. Rei really gets closer to Kawamoto sisters in this season.. It's very nice to see.. One of the nicest things in anime.. I only don't understand, in what moment Hinata saved Rei?.. Did I miss something?.. Or Rei is talking about Kawamoto sisters' support in general, and so Hinata's in particular as well?.. Or something.. Not sure.. And also this episode Rei is finally found his motivation, it seems.. For some reason we approached it at first with many jokes around him, with how teacher called him crazy in his mind, as well as how Rei seems as if obsessed comparing to Harunobu.. But it honestly is a big thing.. Well.. It was like so, when Rei befriended his first friend at school too.. In the club.. All being played for laughs.. Even if it's actually very important moment in Rei's life.. Him getting motivation for playing shougi.. Is also really important happening.. |
Gendolfas said: Oh, yes, I remember being confused about this during my first time. As for the answer, the last 5 minutes of S02E21 would perfectly answer this! But even where you stand, you can make an educated guess xDI only don't understand, in what moment Hinata saved Rei?.. Did I miss something?.. Or Rei is talking about Kawamoto sisters' support in general, and so Hinata's in particular as well?.. Or something.. Not sure.. |

| I'm not crying you're crying!! Man that convo between Akari and Rei was so bittersweet. Akari has been this strong mother figure throughout the entire show and seeing her in tears had me in tears too. Shows how much love they have for each other |
| desu desu binches |
| These sisters were always there for Rei when he needed them to be. Now, even in the simple form of a few words of comfort and assurance, Rei is there for them. Idk about the rest of you, but I felt it when Akari opened up with how she almost felt guilty when she realized she would rather have had Hina protect herself rather than put herself out on a limb for someone else and risk getting hurt. She couldn't give Hina the praise that the grandpa so strongly gave her. These characters have been pretty real from the start, but man. They are getting even more real. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Akari's way of thinking is something I really relate to. She desires harmony, especially for the ones closest to her. So it's very understandable she would want Hina to walk away before shit hits the fan. I can definitely see lots of people saying that it's the cowardly way out and they're quite right. But it's difficult for some people to confront bullies knowing the potential consequences afterwards. As for both parents and children making less of a fuss about it is the most comfortable way out. All that being said though, Hina for sticking to her guns really emphasises her tenacity. |
| rei's finally fired up about not wanting to lose, but nikaido and the others were wrong about what his frustration was for lol but still, rei's slowly coming out of his shell and actually caring for others in a more positive way, i think, not like how he was trying to protect his adoptive sister who clearly doesn't want his help at all. |
