Like some other people have already stated this episode was so intense, probably because I can relate so much to Satou's situation. But I'm sorry I have to say it... I HATE MISAKI

For the love of God and all that is holy, Satou is the most useless character ever!! LMAO

Heh, he's the freaking star of the show, and he was not the one to dissuade them from suicide. And even when the rest of the group have decided against it, he again would do it just cause Hitomi was pulling him along? And even when Misaki and Yamazaki manage to convince him not to do it, he accidentally slips? And then what, he cries like a bitch! Ha! Totally fucking useless IDIOT!!!!!

5/5 for epic uselessness!

Misaki seems to be pretty much of an asshole. She needs Satou to feel better because he is a bigger fail in life than her? D:<

Also they changed the OP a bit (old was better) and, fuck no, the ED is complete new. I will listen to the old ED on YouTube now... (But I guess they changed it too fit the mood, but still, the new one is bad.)

Awesome episode to say the least.
During the first part I thought that Satou was going to grow a pair of ball and save his senpai while everyone else jumped off the cliff. But everyone came to their senses and that Satou wasn't involved in that disappointed me.

Also, the sudden (and pretty funny) turn of events of Hitomi getting proposed, while stopping her from suicide, leaves Satou, the only guy that didn't want to end his life, ready to jump in an instant.

Nice Ending song.

Haha, I was like, "Oh, they got talked down..." and my heart actually skipped a beat, I think when he went "ALRI-" and fell. I was just in shock... And then I saw his hand gripping the cliff... Then it was just dissapointment.

Surviving that would have been freaking epic.

anyone else thought that these suicide episodes were kinda lame? up to this point, i was more or less able to relate to the story but these last episodes depicted an event which is really improbable in someone's life and i couldn't relate to it.

I disliked this episode quite a bit. Then there were that scen where Satou realise that he wanted to die.

I wanted Satou to hug Kashiwa when she was standing on that cliff, but he didnt... 
Instead he realise that he's trash. Which both Misaki and Kashiwa confirmed with their actions. I felt kinda sad for those pathetic girls and I even cried for my failed superhero.

The amount of irony and dramatic tension in the last few episodes were incredible. Starting from the rising actions where Satou discovered Misaki's secret, to the failure in relationship between Hitomi and her bf (forgot his name), and finally to each person's realization about life, the entire arc is kept in suspense. The ending was also powerful.

Misaki's speech was surprising to say the least. Here's to hope for more episodes like these

lol at the guy's proposal to Misaki. If I were Satou, I'd probably want to jump, too, considering how attached he is to her.

I'm surprised no one commented on the "new" OP song. Same song, just with guitar backing instead of brass. If you think about it, this version really reflects the direction, this anime might be headed: A little less on the goofy tones, and a little more serious.

I just finished this episode and I see a lot of people had a "feel" for this episode and I just cant say the same. Everything that lead up to the ending signaled something dramatic was gonna happen, but it just want there for me.

The way the episode was executed kinda annoyed me/pissed me off. I guess its more of Satou than anything. Like dude knows he wants to die, but carries on like its nothing. Then after the bf proposes to Hitomi, he decided to kill himself. Like cmon. And the crying at the end? God damn, are you even more of an idiot?

I couldnt tell if that whole scene was suppose to be a funny moment or some soft/sad moment.

I was waiting for Satou to speak up and start going off on everyone before the jump, but the guy in glasses did it instead. That was suppose to be Satou! At least I think he shouldve been. I guess the series had to be extended in some way.

Not sure what the writers were thinking doing this episode.

The series so far is great though. Definitely relates to life.

Edit

Whoever mentioned Narm is spot on. This episode has Narm written all over it.

"Let's get married!"
"WOAHAAAT!? Alright, that's it! I'M DYING!"

It's kinda funny at how the suicide party did a complete reversal. I was also expecting an accidental fall, but the slip made my heart skip a beat at how quickly it happened.

And crap, that yell at the end was incredibly gut wrenching. I really feel for the man.

This episode reminded me of Chobits. In chobits the teacher the main character likes stayed at his place for the night being all friendly and drinking just to run off with another man the next day.

In this chase it was Hitomi and Satou And Hitomi ends up with another guy.

This episode could have ended the series and I think it would have been a GREAT ending. Satou should have jumped and died. When he jumps he should have said I love you to Hitomi and she would feel like crap like she should.

I knew I wasn't going to like Hitomi from quite early on and I'm pretty sure Satou will end up with Misaki. I don't like Misaki, I think Hitomi would have been a better person for Satou to end up with tho I hate them both. But most all anime/manga are the same so I'm still waiting for a merical.

Episode 3/10

Wow. That was certainly ... interesting. I really thought they were going to do it :O
LAME HITOMI, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE THAT GUY! Getting married WTF?! You were supposed to be with Satou!! T_T
Misaki's speech to Satou ... WTF?! She's crazy, man. They better not end up together D<
Glad the other guys decided not to do it either. Looks like they will join the show?
OP sounds really similar (almost the same actually) just no trumpets? Shame. New ED is pretty nice :D
Oh yea, it was weird how they were crying and then it was like, "Welcome to heaven!" O_O

I completely agree with you!! But you can tell who he will end up with from the start of the show. It's pretty much a rule of thumb the first female character to be introduced in romance/harems is the one to be chosen. no matter how lame there personality is or how long the male character has loved another woman. His feelings will changed in an instant. >_<

I'm only going to finish this show in hopes of seeing Satou NOT end up with Misaki. Or have Satou. Misaki or Hitmoe die. not that they will since this isn't a tragedy.

Wow... Just wow...

What person would commit suicide just because he's too timid to speak up O.o.

I didn't like the fact that he was suddenly all melodramatic and serious about jumping himself. Cmon man, pull yourself together.
Misaki's speech was kind of double-edged. Not the best way to persuade someone I suppose.

It also felt quite f*cked up that Hitomi would drag him into this situation and totally use him as an excuse to commit suicide herself, and then totally turn his back on him, because her boyfriend proposed to her. That is just dark.

Finally done ranting, still love this anime though. You almost forget that you are watching an anime at times.

but most importantly!! SHOW MUST GO ON!

sorry I couldn't help it.

This episode is just too epic and it's even more epic with some of your replies about suicide attempts. Aside from that, I don't think Satou was about being "too stupid to say he didnt want to die", but the whole scene, from his point of view, was just too worthy of an infinite facepalm. The more this show advances, the more hilarious it gets. the epic kind of hilarious that makes me very very happy. :D

Satou basically wanted to ragequit on his life right after his senpai got proposed. Now, THAT was funny as hell!!!

Seriously, I never thought this show would be so entertaining to watch. The whole suicide arc was weird and a little bit creepy... but in a good way. It makes you think about your own life. When you are being single minded like the characters of the island, suicide might seem to be the only way out, but it is not. I'm really happy about the resolution of the episode. Everyone's safe and sound. Thank god... xD

Sure it was meant to be sad but Satou just sitting there going with it was funny and then he only decided to kill himself after that girl got proposed which was hilarious. I couldn't take it seriously.

The OP and ED must have been changed up to reflect the new direction the series is about to take. I find nothing wrong with them.

Although this episode might have been a bit on the melodramatic side, Satou's willingness to jump and try to end his life all of a sudden makes sense. The girl who Satou was hoping to start a romantic relationship with basically more or less used him. Plus what Misaki and Yamazaki said doesn't help matters and Satou wasn't exactly in the best mental state to begin with.
