exLightning said: Rin was really frustrating in this episode , I hated how he paid no attention to any of the other girls even Kaede who lives in the same house got ignored ,I dont blame her for going Psycho crazy on Asa's ass, All the other girls knew they had to share Rin but now Rin seems to have forgotten all about them, I mean if he just ate what she made for him she would have been fine but he had to be a total ass to her, I don't care about the past even tho what Rin did was nice it doesn't mean anything if i see him treating Kaede like some house maid , She hasn't even had a single date with him and now Asa is basically taking her position... Still those eyes freaked the hell out of me , I still think Rin X Asa is best but only if Rin actually thinks about the other girls feelings once in a while ,Plus Asa is the only normal one left except her heart problems ,I always get the feeling she is going to die when she has that heart attack like moment then i have a heart attack because she is one of my favorite characters in Shuffle (If somehow Rin choses Prim then I would be surprised XD she is more of a pet then a girl to Rin at this point) Can't wait for the next eps :D Konekoneko said: I actually always thought he was gonna choose kaede up until the last episode. I feel so bad for her ;( other than primula she's my favorite and wanted them to end up together. And now I see her crazy side and like her even more!!!! Even tho she is cray cray I think Rin is being so mean. Makes me sad :( also to add to what i said years ago also after what she did to rin as a kid there was no chance of them hooking up after this flashbacks it was clear she had zero chance, & also she is mentally ill & needs help being with hes object of obsession can only make things worse, & it was all guilt & obsession not love Raijin-sama619 said: I love where this is going. Of course everything is to be blamed on Rin MC. He acts like Makoto from School Days and he doesnt even care Kaede at all which leads Kaede turning into Yandere, LOL. What an idiot Rin taking Asa to Kaede house. That was an very stupid move you made there Makoto. *facepalm* I guess too much love will kill you is all I can say. This could compressed into 12 or 13 episodes though. 24 is a bit long. 3.5/5 Ankylar said: Honestly, Rin is an insensitive prick. If he did not ignore Kaede like that she would not be so off the rails. He basically lives off her and ignores her. I have said this time and again, he never shows any care towards the girls in this show unless there is something in it for him or someone pushes him to do so. He is pretty selfish. & u blaming him is as dumb as the others blaming him, how did he half to know that She is interested in him in that way? is he a mind reader? HELL NO!!!! also its not love its guilt & obsession what she feels for rin when it comes Kadea he did nothing wrong, but before that with all the girls yes he has acted bit dumb himself, but hes human & humans make mistakes i hope u all have grown up & understand now how foolish u were back then by that i mean all who hate Rin cause of the Kadea thing |

| No wonder this episode was quiet thought provoking (as in, you cant just switch off your brain and casually watch it while keeping up). This ep was directed by Ei Aoki and he also did the storyboards! xD If anyone, it's probably him who made this episode feel so dramatic and suspenseful. |

| okay feeling really bad for kaede…. It seems one cannot make everyone happy that backstory though and the end climax |
 |
| What a glorious episode, all that drama builing up like in a pressure pot. I wish I had played the visual novel first. |

| Well, that explains the Seinen tag. Crazy to think at one point I wanted Rin to end up with Kaede, even more so than with Asa. Also couldn't help but notice how Primula looked like a child of parents with marriage problems in this. Genuinely impressive episode. |
| First scene Everything: I'm somewhat surprised Rin managed to even survive with how Kaede was acting. That being said, it was rather stupid of Rin to make himself the center of the blame. It's somewhat dumb that either of them might think it's their fault in the first place, but people, especially kids, would try and rational the situation anyway they could, so it's not like it's unbelievable that Kaede or Rin would blame themselves. "If only we hadn't asked them to come home." Really though, there's no reason to believe that the parents wouldn't necessarily have still gotten into an accident whether they came home later or early. It's just a terrible accident. What is happening? This is like an entirely different show. Kaede's regression and breakage into a yandere is problematic. I definitely just lost all respect for her in about a 10 minute period. Something about her bullying Rin as a kid, and then flipping and worshipping him rubs me the wrong way. I don't know that I can even believe she loves Rin when she acted the way she did in the past. I think she has an unhealthy obsession with him, and sees him more like an object that only belongs to her. If Kaede killed best girl, I'll never forgive her. |

| "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| this could have been a much better show if MC wasn't a complete bumbling idiot and tunnel vision asshole and if the girls actually got a long together instead of playing pretend at friendship and understanding each other. as it stands i want rin to be completely alone at the end. idk what anyone sees in him. he'll do something nice but then turns around and gives everyone a cold shoulder when they start to want to be in his life. like dude can only manage one train of thought at a time and people around him are disposable. he's completely bland, one dimensional, and has absolutely zero redeeming qualities. side characters have more depth. |
 |
| Didn't the boy lost both his parents in the same accident. No wonder he never made a move on Kaede despite how she was depicted in more than 1st half of the series. Couldn't sympathize with Kaede at all. |

| I like asa more. Hope Rin end with her |
Kaede really shined in this episode. These additional layers to her character work wonders, and this episode provided her some of the most memorable expressions in the anime. Her relationship with Rin progressing over the flashback from hatred to affection once she discovered the "lie" makes a retrospective look at their previous interactions all the more poignant. While Kaede eventually started to fall in love with Rin during their time living in the same house, Rin seemingly began to take her for granted, forgetting she was a girl entirely. To Rin, Kaede is just an associate who shares the same living space, who can be ignored or abandoned if he suddenly wants to make plans with other people.  Forgetting about their shopping trip and prioritising eating at Asa's place, only to then bring her back to their house while expecting Kaede to cater to them was a callous thing to do. I can see why Kaede for wanted to kick Asa out after that. Primula is very perceptive and noticed Kaede was acting off earlier in the episode, but she just doesn't have the presence or forcefulness to do anything about it. Funny thing is, I think Rin getting with Primula would incite the least drama of all the girls he could end up with, as she's the most composed and peaceful of the lot (with maybe Nerine being a close second). |

Divine episode, Asa's developing illness and I seriously loved Kaede's yandere character development |

Reply to Primity
| @Primity Rin and Kaede be like "Okay Kaede, your not gonna hurt Asa, right?" "Hurt her? No way Rin, i'm going to kill her..." |
| Finally a good episode! Although this show has literally gone from being a romantic comedy to a downright horror. Finally some development on Kaede's backstory, her eyes in that one scene were creepy af. At least it's interesting now, at least Asa is still alive. |
| Definitely the best episode in the series (which on its own doesn't mean anything much lol, but it was seriously good!!) and apparently it's not even a thing in a vn and they just made it all up?? ...Thank you for your service in that case, I wish other adaptations made creative bold choices such as this one! Fucking Kaede man, it was like Higurashi's Rena's spirit has taken over her, she basically cursed Asa-senpai out of her life lol. No wonder she was friendzoned since the very beginning, like bitch get out of Rin's way. |

| It is so interesting how Kaede in the past 😅 Now we could be understand that Kaede want to reedem her mistakes in the past 🥲 that ls why she make a promises to understand everting about him.. Again.. Truck-kun already arrive on the past anime 😅 Like in the past, my fav still Asa-senpai.. Now I am about to remember where this leads to.. This is one of the point where I loved this anime.. |
