Alright, it was a quite interesting episode until that shocking end. Now I'm mad, yes, definitely mad, I'm no longer sane.

KIRAMEKI! Riki-chan played a so freaking insane character. Fumika is kind of living ghost, so even if she got shot, she should not be hurt, I believe. Shigofumi started to diverge from Shinigami no Ballad in a intriguing way.

Are you sure Fumika can't not be hurt? Everyone can see her.

Indeed, everyone can see her, feel and touch her. So of course she can get shot.. But dying or not by it is a different story.
Ah well, we'll see what happens in the next episode.

Episode end -- fa-ah-jah! What the freak was that? Fumika's dad is a complete and utter fruit loop. The house, the pens, writing on the arm, squealing and dancing in a sun shower like an imbecilic child ...

'She's not the one.' <<--- This is creeping me out.

Couldn't even vote on this episode. I'm conflicted because none of the options are what I truly feel.

Pretty good episode. Fumika's dad is completely crazy =S
I thought Fumika's gun was a Shigofumi from her dad, but since he didn't die, I guessed someone else was killed by the gun (I'm rather confused about this part).

Also, I think the preview ruined the little cliffhanger =/

Who in their right mind would have a child with him? Seriously he acted like a five year old and if that girl's sister was the least bit attracted to him, then she is just as stupid. He seems to be stuck in his own fantasy land, reminds me of Michael Jackson. I assume that he was normal at one point in his life or Fumika's mother must be (or been, don't know anything about her) as sick as him. But, I'm really curious as to where there going with this. Also, the op is really getting on my nerves.

Just thinking about something -- the stamp on Fumika's gun.

Is this her Shigofumi stamp that she might have been given? She may have been technically dead for a couple of minutes before becoming half-dead. If so, that's rather amusing she'd put it on the gun and would make a bit more sense as to why she said she just wanted to remind him.

Or had her fruit loop father recieved a Shigofumi before? He seemed to know she was a mail carrier without much thought. His reaction of stress when initially reading the Shigofumi Fumika brought was short lived. Although seems to me that he keeps his true feelings in check most of the time. The fruitiness could be a facade for the general population.

The Mikawa family is not an ordinary family O_o Other halve... Perhaps the ''living'' Fumi is:
- Her twinsister
- Comapatient herself
- Good part of her soul that didn't get too hard punished (well, it's pretty harsh, but Shigofumi deliverer seems somehow harder). Perhaps she's schizofrenic and did her ''bad'' person shoot her dad and the ''bad'' person was punished, but the ''good'' was only punished with a non-functioning body, because ''bad'' was inside of her.

Never mind, last thingy is too weird. Probably her twin sister.

Her dad is weird. Why the heck did he wrote something at the editor's arm? O_o

The thing that turned out the most confusing is the whole "two daughters" thing. They are both Fumika yet he reffered to them as his daughters. Either he was just being crazy or something is up here. Besides, it's been hinted a lot that Fumika is aging, hence she's not actually dead either. That's why the cliffhanger works. I'm so intrigued right now.

after this episode I'm beginning to think the girl that looks like Fumika is her twin sister.

Why do I think this?
1) Because when Fumika was looking at her, she said something along the lines of "She is just a fragment of my past self". This could any number of things. It could mean its her past body, her past memory's, or even her past sibling.

2) When shes talking to her dad she mentions daughters and since the fathor very rarly leaves his house it can be assumed that he never visits the comatose daughter in the hospital.


Also something that kind of popped into my head. The Gun could have been a shigofumi from her sister or even her mother.

You're right, I came exactly to the same conslusions : twin sister, another part of her soul (strange but most probable), or her coma alter ego. At this point, it's impossible to tell which of these three is the true answer, but I'm going for either one of the first two :)

this season of anime seems to try and out do each other with the cliffiest (new word?) of cliff hangers =p. The episode was good and im glad to see more of the underlying plot take effect as it was previously a less dark jigoku shoujo in a way
