I think she's supposed to take the place of Illya and marry the emperor to secure ties between the two nations. Not entirely sure why she decided to accept that fate now though; maybe she wants to carry out Illya will.

I am completely baffled. There have been implications about Rio's father but this princess business came out of nowhere. Rio, the coolest character on this show by far, now leaves to become a hostage wife for the "greater good", or at the very least, this is the implication. And then Kanata is all "muh memories", cue upbeat ending song. How I am supposed to take this seriously? Where is all the buildup to this utterly depressing development? In episode 8, the worst thing we had to worry about was Kanata literally wetting herself.

The only saving grace the episode had was Kobayashi Yuu's performance, but I couldn't really appreciate even that because of everything else.

Dem obaachan used to be hot, her story was sad but more on bittersweet end as she continued to hope. And she died with a smile.
Rio got inspired.

I need KobaYuu's drawings to cheer myself up xD

I didn't understand why Rio had to leave. I'm either too dumb or too sleepy to take this anime seriously. I hope the last episodes get better

Great OST this episode, especially during Jacott's flashback.

I felt like this episode was a bit lower budget than the other ones. So many stills and panning shots.

Rip old lady. Death by her own delusions.

Farewell Rio. You were always best girl in my heart. ; _ ;

Quite the depressing episode. I was a bit confused about the significance of the old lady and Rio leaving felt a bit pointless, but it was a good episode nevertheless.

8/10

The old lady storyline should have its own episode, it feels a bit out of place with another storyline. Also, this could've been the last episode. How are they going to end now?

BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

Well, that was an episode.

Has that old woman been on that mountain for that long!!? Her backstory was some heavy stuff, but she seemed happy just to hear that he'd come back for her. Then she envisioned him in her window and went after him. And she's gone!

Rio's secret was more or less what I had expected, but it's still sad to see unfold, y'know? She's leaving now, but before she did she gave Kanata her trumpet after they played a rendition of Amazing Grace. Obviously, they both met the princess!~

I enjoyed the conversation they had. Rio asking Kanata if she was a good senpai to her. Kanata doesn't hesitate to respond in the affirmative

The dialogues between kanata and rio on their walk is so predictable, obvious and dumb, probably because they have used this style of story-telling over and ovwr again, with every character being either braindead or generic tropes.
The story of the old woman was also random - the story with its sole meaning just to add some seemingly deep stuffs into the show when it has nearly not much to do with anything about the show.
I really don't see the purpose of them bringing up this topic over and over again, hinting relations of the senpais with her and stuffs. I could not care less about this arch, or even take anythimg in this show seriously whem every thimg are just generic stories forced into the plot. If they cannot take themselves seriously plotwise i dont see any reason kf us to take these seriously.
And wow again the trumpet solo of amazing grace, very heartwarming wow, just like hearing the 100th time canon in D played in a wedding gig type of heartwarming, which is kind of sad provided this show had such beautiful and wellwrittsn background musics.
