| I wish there wasn't one episode to go. Ever since Natsume, Asako was first introduced, I've always been cheering for her. I hope something positive comes out for her but we'll see. Same for Chizuru as well. |
 |
| i cant believe that next episode would be the last :( i wish that they do a nice ending for this |
 Special thanks to Gabu for this amazing avatar & sig set!! |
| Natsume, you so hawt and cute. Wow, Haru and Shizuku were sleeping really close to each other in scene after ED. Yamaken ftw! |
 |
| ok episode Natsume is so damn annoying. |
| I guess i should probably start on the manga where the last episode will leave off next week XD |
 |
| This episode kind of sucked and Natsume is annoying. |
| I loved this episode like any other episodes. It's nice to have a Natsume centred episode for a change. She's too cute <3. Although I do hope that the final episode will at least wrap up Shizuku and Haru's relationship in a satisfying manner. They need to start dating already! |
 |
| Natsume is so cute but she's a brat D: |
| Things are finally getting interesting again. tbh it was starting to get dull after a fantastic start. |
Frediloc said: Then after the ED, we see Sasayan at the festival at night, and everyone counting down to the New Years (meaning it's still the 31st, before that supposed 1:12am call), and we see Natsume waking up at Mitty's place, saying that they fell asleep right after dinner. The only conclusion that I can reach is that the whole sequence from the phone call up to the ED was a dream - probably Natsume's considering how it focused on her. I'm just gonna hope that they showed us that scene to show Natsume taking a photo of Haru and Shizuku and not because it was all a dream For this episode though, I really liked it and it's saddening to see that there will only be one episode left allowing for what I predict to be an inconclusive ending. |
 |
| RE: the last scenes after the ED, I don't think they were a dream. I think they were just showing us what happened at the festival while the three of them were sleeping their way through the New Year. Natsume woke up without realizing she missed a call from Sasayan, saw Haru and Mitty looking exactly how she wanted them to look forever, and snapped a picture of it before passing out again. About an hour later, Sasayan tries calling again (like he said he would) they all wake up and go meet them at the shrine. |
 |
| I have a bad feeling the last episode is going to wrap this up really REALLY badly... |
| Why can't Natsume and Sasayan just get together >w< |
| lol what is mitty kingdom? |
 |
| Way better than the last one! |
| i thought this episode was one of the best so far i wasnt only about shizuku and haru's relationship. it was good for a change natsume was hilarious as always |
| lol at Yamaken so cute and sad hahahaha like everyone else mentioned, nice Shizuku x Haru interactions, not too pushy or too cold, hopefully they kiss at this picnic thing or at least start going out or something! As for Natsume.... ooooooh im so annoyed because I know hes gonna reject her but I want him to accept her feelings so so badly, but I bet he will say something along the lines of I care for you a lot as a friend or maybe even a little sister or something... (i mean imoutos x oniichan kinda relations aint bad, even better but i guess this isnt that sorta anime huh) anyway, I doubt Sasayan will confess to Natsume, we've got one ep left and he hasnt shown any interest in her so far, no blushing, no sad face when she confessed to Mi-chan, so neh oh as for the whole 'it was all a dream!' idea (lol) it doesnt make any sense, Sasayan called Natsume minutes or even seconds before the New Year, and then he called her later around 1ish, I mean the first time we see them all sleeping and Natsume picking up the phone he clearly says that its 1-something and thats when they all wake up and go to the shrine. Unless it was like that in the manga, which would be the worst storyline ever I mean who even uses the whole dream idea anymore |

AlexGK said: This show lost all momentum. I find myself more intrested in the support characters than in the dragging nonsense mains in the last 4-5 episodes. Score down to 8/10 for being another Kimi ni Todoke wanna be. I'm glad someone else shares my opinion. The first 8 or so episodes were really good but the last couple at least have been pretty meh in my opinion. Like the pace just slowed to a crawl. I'm concerned as to whether the last episode will be rushed now and have too much squashed in...or even worse, not enough. |

Takuan_Soho said: CriticalEye said: Frediloc said: Ok, am I the only one who caught this? I'm pretty sure that the whole second half was some sort of dream. It must have been, because on the 31st Natsume, Haru, and Mitty were at her house, then at 1:12am (on Jan 1st) they woke up with the call from Sasayan and went to the festival, and stayed out till the sun came up. I agree with this interpretation, especially given that she didn't get a response for her confession. Both wrong. Sasayan called twice, once at 12 (during the countdown, he hung up) and then at 1:12. Natsume woke up at 12 independently and took the picture (more for her remembrance, because she is always afraid of losing her two friends), then went back to sleep. The second call woke everyone up. A lot of people spend the night at the shrine to watch the first sunrise, it is sort of a tradition, so Sasayan didn't think that he would be waking her up, even calling that late. Phew, i'm glad i checked on this cos i was also worried it was a dream, and was pretty confused. Would have been pretty disappointed if it was a dream. Love Natsume, she's adorable! |

| Well he isn't a teacher, or in a position of authority over her so it would basically be a problem only if someone kicks up a fuss. You'll note the byplay with the cigarette ash when Natsume makes the confession indicating his shock and not being able to answer right away. I think to this point he has only been seeing her as one of Haru's friends, and since he's serving as a surrogate parent towards Haru, Misawa tends to adopt a certain adult attitude to the rest of the gang. I can remember when I was in grade nine a classmate of mine started going out with one of the stars of the football team from grade 12--that was a pretty big gap but didn't raise more than a couple of eyebrows in our rural community. (She later married his best friend just before she graduated, so my take was she was just interested in older boys and since the marriage has lasted several decades who are we to judge...). On the other hand I had a teacher in grade 10 who was a serial predator and created a very difficult time for many of the girls in my class--fortunately he was driven out of teaching but not before he did a lot of damage. On the third hand I went to university with a woman whose boyfriend was her former English teacher--ten years older and newly divorced. My assumption was always that their relationship in highschool probably had something to do with that divorce and their relocation to another city. I think they've been married for a decade or two now and have a couple of children themselves. Laws tend to be written because human behaviour upsets someone's sense of morality, but human behaviour tends to go on regardless. In this case it isn't even a real relationship--Natsume has a crush on Misawa and we haven't seen any signs he returns it. Now if you really want to get your knickers in a knot over something like this--watch Marmalade Boy! (on second thought you should watch it anyways just to get an historical perspective on a real shoujo melodrama...) |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| What happen when your own advice came back to bite you. |
| again, FUCK YOU MIZUTANI, NATSUME IS THE BEST GIRL IN THIS SHOW!!!! |
| wait what did sasayan mean about his plan failing |
    |
| Hehe, it would be nice if Misawa and Natsume get together =) |
 |
| Wonderful episode centering on Natsume : ) More Haru and Shizuku moments. Sad that Yamaken didn't get to see Shizuku. OMG Sasayan just confess your love Natsume XD. Next week is the last episode T__T I hope for a season 2. |
| Great episode. Natsume should end up with Sasayan. |
 |
| I think Sasayan will confess to Natsume in the next episode. |
 |
| Finally the moment is here! :D Shizuku: ii za mairimasu Haru: de wa itadakimasu Shizuku: Heh?! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| This series started really well, like a contemporary version of Kare Kano but its just stalled and gone flat now. Having Natsume as the center of this episode was alright, but we're just waiting for Haru and Mitzutani to grow up as a couple. |

| It' kind of sad that they're ending the anime next episode when there's so much story left :( |
| I'm not much of a fan of this anime as everyone else, but I do enjoy it. I love Yamaken so much though alkdsjflsjdlaxkdlz |
| Yay a Natsume episode. just what I wanted. I care more about her more than Shizuku and Haru at this point. |
Cratex said: pilipino101 said: I took it to be the evening of New Years Day, so it was the evening after they watched the sun come up. They had had dinner at Mitty's place again.Can someone explain to me what that scene was after the ED? Was it an alternate reality or was what was it? Was it a dream or what? O_O It it didn't seem like that to me though. Everything was in the same place on the table as the first call and stuff. Everyone where same clothes etc. It seemed more like half the episode was just Natsune's dream. |
| I laughed that natsume wanted to meet sizuku. There is more only one ep. How will relation of sizuku and haru become? "Watashi kininarimasu" |
Monad said: I now think what I said was completely wrong, and sort of agree with an earlier poster (forget who above) that said that last scene was essentially a flashback that occurred an hour or two before they were woke up and decided to go to the festival. However, I'm not entirely sure myself and I agree there is room to suggest it was a "dream".Cratex said: pilipino101 said: I took it to be the evening of New Years Day, so it was the evening after they watched the sun come up.
