And that's it for the main story. EP6 will be even more of an epilogue, it seems. Hopefully not a revival of what the Specials were to the first series. Either way, this 5-ep adventure was serviceably amusing, and a good legacy of the original.

Wow what a wild ride. They went even deeper.

P.S We all know who the father is.

"There's nothing worse than hearing one's love story." Oh, come on, you know that's true, lol. Iirc, this is how the OG ended too so it's nice to have a little moment of deja vu.

Tamura turned out to be a lot smarter, and the pride of a time-traveler part made me respect him more.

This was a fun conclusion to the series, nothing more than that. I suppose Episode 6 might be an extra epilogue of sorts.

I really liked this episode; made for a really great conclusion to the story. I liked how it Watashi "omitted" the details between him and Akashi. Saying how "There's nothing worse than hearing someone brag about fulfilled romance." Loved

Loved how Watashi returned via staying in the closet for the whole day.

Also loved this series' version of how Watashi and Akashi met. Was very cute.

I'm guessing that the final episode will be them going to Gozan? Or some epilogue of sorts.

In the end, the remote is the best time traveler we saw, what a journey.
And now that we have the confirmation the kid is Akashi's son, it's obvious that Watashi is the father (xD)

I am so glad this was made, this episode was a 10/10. I loved it so much, seeing Watashi and the rest of the group back, oh and the couple was finally confirmed (im really happy)

Uhh.. I don't get it. It probably means Watashi right? But I don't get the pun here.
And don't laugh but
My mind gave me only one person when Tamura gave a cool line before going finally as if it was straight coming from Master Higuchi's words of wisdom. Even though he mentioned that Higuchi still lived in that apartment, I can't help but think that.

Yes, im pretty sure its Watashi. His final line is something like "I wont give any more details on my relationship with Akashi, theres nothing worse than hearing someone brag about fullfiled romance"
Tamura appearence is also a dead giveaway and there is also his last dialogue with Watashi

Honestly, it was disappointing how passive Watashi was in this serie. He only asked Akashi out because she told him that he had done that.

*tsk tsk* "The future must be grasped with one's own hands."
-Looks like Tamura learned well from Master Higuchi.

I think we all knew who Tamura's parents were the minute he showed up, if the mole and the hairstyle wasn't any indication but it was nice to see it confirmed.
"Isn't that dangerous? If you were to run into parents they might lose the urge to have you."
Haha! So Jougasaki's diss back in ep. 2 wasn't said for nothing!
The framing of the scene sold it. Tamura is planted smack dab in between Watashi and Akashi-san.

I'm relieved and immensely pleased to say it was a short but fun spinoff!
Watashi and Akashi-san are more expressive which makes for some entertaining scenes, the outdoor scenes are beautiful, especially the Old Book Fair and the bridge at dusk, and the comedy is on par with Tatami Galaxy. It's like they never left!

You could say it was a condensed version of the Tatami Galaxy (except our characters talk at a normal speed), with the MC ultimately asking Akashi-san out to the Gozan no Okuribi bonfire and slyly omitting the details once again (You stingy fox! For once when I'm actually invested in a relationship as dynamic and witty as this!).
Our MC continues to get trolled by Ozu and Higuchi, tries not to get caught up in the craziness but fails spectacularly, and thankfully isn't as obsessed with the "rose-colored campus life" this time round.

Rewatching this as a whole is going to be amusing, knowing where our MC was at all points in the story (and dying in the closet). Now to see if we can spot Aijima's missing glasses.
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

Beautiful episode. Loved the colors and bckgrounds throughout, the new direction proved to be quite charismatic and adventurous while sticking to the previous formula. Great stuff. Loved the melancholy of the las minutes.

Now this line from season 1 ending makes more sense now. Congrats watashi x akashi

This is a small thing that has been bugging me for years, and its come back up again here: is "mochiguma" singular and "mochiguman" plural? Or the other way around? And are all of them called mochiguma/mochiguman individually, or only the white one?

So just as I though Akashi is Tamura's mother. Now is Watashi the father or not?

so the time travel in this show is fixed timeline or predeterminism eh

so free will is really an illusion here even akashi implied much when she says they do not know the future but its predetermined or destiny

and nice that akashi and watashi romance is a success and their child is that fat boy

I really enjoyed this series and reconnecting with the characters of The Tatami Galaxy.
