I am learning Russian for just a half a year but in Slovak (related language) Mesiac does mean both moon and month. Russian dictionary also confirms this. Completely agree on the best episode part. As a fan of Russian/Japanese literature and as someone who dabbles in writing (while a friend was already published) this was really a treat. What I meant was that "moon" and "month" are the same word in Japanese. In Russian, moon is луна and month is месяц |

xpforever said: That was a lovely episode. The two different kind of friendships and the parallel between them was presented really well. It's a pity that we have only 3 eps. left, I would love to watch 24 eps. total from this series. I haven't read the manga, but I somehow feel that Akira and Kondo won't come together. Definitely one of the best animes this season. By now it doesn't feel as if that is even important anymore. It is more about how those two are finally able to move forward in their life. They both suffer from great insecurities (he thinks he is worthless and has everything done by halves and Akira only truly loved running and doesn't know how to really move forward without running). I also do not think that they will come together but the show may end with them having become friends or have learned to truly appreciate each other. If there will be a kiss then it will be one on the cheek. |

But the most common word is Луна, I thought that using "месяц" would be a bit too figurative. Also, if you look it up on Russian wikitionary, it says that месяц it's more commonly used to refer to a moon that's not full (that was not the case in the scene)... I'll keep an eye on this matter and pay attention when I see this word being used in Russian. Thanks for pointing this question out. |

| Wow, what a great episode. I didn't expect Akira and Haruka to get into a fight, but I can get why they would - it's tough to try to reconnect after a while. I really liked the second half with Kondou and his friend Chihiro as well - I was fooled into thinking that the writer was his ex, but instead he's just his old university friend (I blame the feminine name XD). So Kondou was a writer as well huh ... that would explain his love for literature. Maybe his experience with his ex soured his writing? Though it seems as though he can't stop writing in secret :O Then Kondou and Akira talking about their experiences with friendship at the end was really nice - I actually thought that was the halfway point but then it cut to the ED instead! ;P |
| A bit toned down episode, wherein most of the episode is centred between Kondou & Chihiro a classmate of him since young school days! Looks like things are not going well between Akira & Haruka... Super Mangetsu always happen these days huh... 4/5. |
 |
| Enjoyed the parallels and contrast with Akira's friendship and Kondou's. One wants to become an adult and the other wants to so desperately go back to the past. The moon scene at the end was wonderful. Space Brothers director doing quality work as always. |
| I'm so glad that Akira invited Haruka to the festival. It's nice seeing Haruka's family. Her brother is pale but she and her sisters are tanned. So cute. As usual, Akira was a bitch and that made Haruka and the cute twins cry. I like Akira's visuals, she's gorgeous and total hottie. She has a cute personality SOMETIMES but she needs to work on herself and stop being so goddamn selfish. Turns out Kondo-san was gay and Chihiro was an ex-husband. I'm kidding, of course. Chihiro looks pretty cool. His wife's name is Midori. How cute. Also what language were Kondo and Chihiro speaking on the bridge? |
| 臭い- |
| I'm glad they addressed the tension between Akira and Haruka directly since I was worried it was just going to be this lingering thing that they never verbalized. |

| Her friend's reaction was hilarious when she figured out Tachibana had feelings Kondo. |
 |
| Anyone knows what's the insert bgm in this episode? |
| 「友達なんていない。人はすぐに裏切るし、学校っていうのは誰かを標的にしないとやってられない馬鹿共の集 まり。ままごとみたいな役決めて、仲のいいふりして都合が悪くなったら知らんぷり。そんな奴らと仲良くした いとか全然思わない。」 |
| An episode in which both a teenager and an adult can be reflected, here we begin to see the true value of a true friendship. I did not expect an evolution of the extreme context between Akira and Haruka. This time the episode seems to have ended too soon. |
 |
| Wow wow. The break up in the romance monotony was a good change in pace. And seeing Akira and Kondo kinda of separate and how they go solo almost with their own issues, especially Kondo is a good break away. And though people complain about Haruka it's obvious how much Akira means to her, she's a teenager, and they've spent each others lives together. The drama has built and led to this break. It was very well prompted. Chihiro is such a vibrant character and really brings Kondo out and he's so well fleshed out in a short amount of time. Their relationship is so authentic but believable that they haven't been around one another in so long. The supermoon was gorgeous and the advice Kondo gives Akira about his own life stance is important in the grand scheme. |
 |
| Akira x Haruka would literally be five hundred times better than Akira x old fart. |
| Really wonderful episode, quite love the bit of backstory and focus on the manager! Loved that summer festival and while a bit of a shame they had a fight, I do think they'll patch up! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| A very nice bit of story. Made me think back to being with friends that I hadn't seen in almost 10 years and the fun I had when we met again. I probably will never see them again but they are still my friends. The episode definitely made me smile at the end..... and what a great moon!! |
 |
| This episode was a bit weak but wasn't bad. Akira's answer to Haruka appears to me quite appropriate. She needs to needs to grow up. I hope that the final episode doesn't disappoint me. |

Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper.

Hi, I am russian and I can tell that usually we use: месяц — month луна — moon But that's right, sometimes we use word «месяц» while talking about the moon. It's not a mistake, just a little outdated name of the moon. Especially often used to the sickle of the moon as opposed to the full moon. By the way, I did not understand why Kondo and Chihiro spoke in Russian, how they know it at all, lol. |
| Yukata episode was nice! But wow all these rifts |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| That was sad. I hope Akira and Haruka can patch things up. Also, that is one beautifully depicted moon. |
 |
| Good developpement in this episode, with a bit of drama. |
 |
| I think this was my favourite episode so far. I'm still a long way off Kondo and Chihiro's age, but their relationship and dialogue resonated. That drunken wandering about the town, admiring the moon. That... "We're not adults. We're classmates." I hope and think that's how I'll always feel for the friends I made in university. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| He’s so old!!!! I really don’t mind it at all, but I’m glad that someone just straight up and said it, about time lol |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Only in anime do you get a super moon the size of an earth-destroying meteor lmao. I liked the idea of "we're not adults we're classmates." It's cool to think of all the people you spent time within a specific time in your life will always have a special bond with them. That's cool, I really enjoyed Tachibana's realization about friendship transitions with Kondou |
| desu desu binches |
| Kondou and Haruka can understand Akira's deepest secrets/feelings just by looking at her, no words needed. Hopefully they can fix their friendship, the little push that Kondou just provided gives me a lot of hope. I wonder what Haruka will think about Kondou if she ever gets to know him as much as Akira...? |

| Qué bonito este episodio *^* |
 |
| Hard words from Akira to Haruka there. Got me too |
 |
| I liked that we got to know a little more about the ML |
| being hopeful in front of hopelessness and how the memories stays together and shapes us even when we can't run away from loss.This anime balances the duality remarkably well.A major part in me wishes for an open end to this show ~ |
| Wow, I really like this episode, because it showcased how appart and flawed both main characters are |
