| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, what a depressing episode. Gotta feel for Minagi... |
 |
| The start of Minagi's arc =3 Hearing her mother call her Michiru was really sad DX |
   |
| You know I was starting to wonder what the big deal was about this show and then I saw this episode and I was like "...oh" The scene where Misuzu broke down crying was so unexpected, and then you have the scenes with Minagi. Suddenly I feel like i'm watching a key show. Good stuff.. |

| i'm amazed by Tohno scene, she must be very strog to try to live with that. i loved her last words about wings ... i was also in a little shock after hearing that Haruko isn't her real mother, i feel sorry about Misuzu because of her tears even Yukito left her . |
Sunlone said: "Are you crying?" Dumb thing to say... No, I don't think it is... |
| This episode was pretty depressing. |
  |
| i really liked it X3 i feel so bad for tonis mother though =( |
 |
| Poor Minagi & Misazu. :/ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| ok,this episode was very depressing,but good :) |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Yukito has to move out and distance himself for Misuzu's sake. Imagine how lonely she must have felt her whole life, without any friends to play with... And the thing with Minagi was sad too. Her mother doesn't even acknowledge her existence anymore. |
 |
| breaking out whenever you make a friend? that's weird but sucks for her Now her only friend Yukito has to leave her too :/ |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| WOW. HUGE downer! But very good... everyone in this town goes through so much... |
  |
| Kinda felt sad for Misuzu and Minagi. |
| Poor Tohno's mum... TT |
 |
| One of the best episodes :( |
| That whole town is pretty messed up. Every second person has mental sickness, in each family a couple of people died. |
| confusing .... wth is happening? who's the twintail loli? |
 |
| Nice episode...its getting interesting |
| Sadness in there, I reallly feel bad for Tohno, this at least got me back kicking those episodes. |
| now she has nowhere to go also that was shocking that haruko (the mom) is an aunt, she's always saying that she isnt fit to be a mom, and yet this child was forced upon her. very sad. |
     |
| sad..but not enough to make me cry.. |
 |
| i do admit that besides from the 1st episode, this one really got my attention. It kinda confused me about the mother and I wasnt that clear about the mental condition so ill have to watch it again. |
| :( i wish she could make friends w/o going ballistic. |
| The OP and ED sure is louder in terms of volume... To start off, Yukita has a dream about 7 years ago (lol) "come inside ... Michiru" - WTF? Misuzu starts crying - WTF? Isn't it like Key to create unexpected moments like these. I sense epicness coming up. |
 |
| Finally, an episode that made me want to keep watching without having to force myself somewhat. Nicely done, KyoAni. Best episode so far, without question. |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| Clannad, and now this? The smart girl always has some insanely sad story behind her. |
| there were some beautiful moments here, but something is missing, I can`t understand what... Clannad is much better... |
  |
| I don't quite understand Tohno's explanation. Her sister died or smt? And then the mother's disorder? Why the hell does the mother feels depressed when her daughter was closer to her husband?? Am I messing my head up?? |
| <3 I think I'm gonna fall in love with this arc. It had a great start and I'm loving the story with Minagi and her mother. |
straycat95 said: I don't quite understand Tohno's explanation. Her sister died or smt? And then the mother's disorder? Why the hell does the mother feels depressed when her daughter was closer to her husband?? Am I messing my head up?? Yes, her sister died according to the information we have. The mother's disorder is that she is rejecting her daughter's death (some kind of post-traumatic thing). She doesn't feel depressed, but maybe slightly unloved. If you're daughter liked your spouse better you would feel somewhat sad. But she also might have some kind of attention disorder. |
| This is one of my favorite arcs in the whole anime and Tohno is my favorite character next to Misuzu. This arc is extremely touching and always hits me, despite having seen the whole thing through several times. It's amazing how strong Minagi is! |
| Is the whole town full of the mentally insane? |
| Damn quite a sad story to start the new arch but defiantly a nice start though! |
 |
| I liked Minagi's talk in the end of the episode :3 |

| This is an episode that catched my interest, I'm starting to really like Air after this one. |
 |
| Minagi's story is pretty sad, but damn, when Misuzu broke down there...that was really heartbreaking. It was so unexpected. I had such a big surge of sadness there :( Now THAT is the Key I've been waiting for. |
 |
| What a depressing episode, really, I didn't see it coming. Blutspender said: That whole town is pretty messed up. Every second person has mental sickness, in each family a couple of people died. :D :D :D Haha, that's kinda true. |

| I didn't like the previous part that much, I didn't see what was so special about it. This on the other hand did catch me by surprise. Both of the two main events that happened in this episode really got me. Amazing stuff, I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Sad but good |
 |
| Another good episode. |
 |
| Finally... this is the only episode I've liked so far... it wasn't perfect, but was interesting. Now I feel I'm watching a Key show. The previous arc was really bad. |
 |
| This was a very depressing episode, but not the teary-eyed "crying all episode" type of depressing. It's more... unsettling and uncomfortable. I love stuff like this. First episode I really liked, for sure. |
