| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- very nice episode Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| Such a sweet episode. |
| Oh boy this was a wonderful episode! One of the better ones from this series! Really loved that ending, such a bittersweet ending for that :| |
 |
| OMG so bittersweet T-T This is just like the episode with Ten-chan and the floating ghost girl T-T At least Ataru fulfilled Nozomi's wishes :) |
You knew it was coming but even still this scene was so heart wrenching. Afterwords them visiting her grave and leaving her flowers was a nice touch. |
| Pretty sweet episode. Sad to see that grave at the end. |
 |
| Out of the 200-ish episodes, I'd say 90-95% of the series portrays Ataru as a douchebag. The remaining 5% show his kinder side which he usually hides because he's a goddamn tsundere. This episode is one of them. Episodes like this give depth to characters and keep them from getting stale. This was definitely executed brilliantly. One of the best episodes this series has to offer and definitely one of my favorites from Urusei Yatsura. Otaku1985 said: You can also see Akemi and Ichinose behind Cherry during the movie scene. Easily one of the best episodes, showing Atari in his best light. Also, did nobody else spot Ichinose from Maison Ikkoku on the swingboat ride? Man, this is one of the best episodes of Urusei Yatsura. If I'm not wrong, Rumiko Takahashi wrote this chapter of the manga after one of her editors told her to write a chapter that portrays Ataru in a nicer light. It turned out to be the favorite chapter of some of her editors and if I believe Takahashi also stated this to be her most favorite chapter too. No wonder it's a fan favorite. |
Funny thing is Akemi looks like she's wearing seifuku.0451Mar 14, 8:06 AM
| One of the rare episodes Ataru is a decent human being. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| This episode is GOLD! Nozomi best girl |
| The title of the episode being what it was had me thinking this episode might be a special one, and special it was. Most of the episode was the usual hilarity and fun with Ataru going on a date with Nozomi during sweltering heat while dressed up for winter lol, and I really liked the use of OST from both movie 2 and 3, it really fit. But even though I was expecting the ending, the moment Nozomi disappeared really hit, I felt pretty emotional there, but the good thing is that she got what she wanted and has moved on. And the way the episode ended with Lum and Ataru on the beach was a great scene, the whole episode was another showcase of the good side of Ataru, always love episodes like that, but let’s just hope Lum doesn’t become a ghost too lol. And lastly, appreciated the “The Exorcist” reference, as well as those guys trying to keep Cherry quiet, when the 2nd guy pulled out a gun I lost it lol, it’s nice that some hilarious bits can be in a feelsy episode like this |
| People complaining about Ataru's character since the beginning of the series aren't getting it at all. They don't get that an episode like this couldn't ever hold such beauty and couldn't ever be as magnificient as it is, from start till the line at the very end, if Ataru wasn't the goofy douchebag that he is. They probably wouldn't even bother to come here to comment how perfect this episode was. This is kinda the same dynamic as the best Cowboy Bebop episode Speak Like a Child, which couldn't be so masterful if crew members weren't such complete jerks towards each other since the beginning. |
