Marvelous episode! Fumi shot Mika. Did she really died? After shooting Mika, Fumi looked contained. Maybe the dual personality was integrated and she got Mika's memory. Who is the lady at the last scene? Fumika's mother? Oh they didn't give us the preview for the next episode. I can't wait for the next.

oh sorry, sobzob. I'll wait for you make an entry of the next final episode.

My thread. :(
Anyways, superb episode. I don't think, or rather I really hope that Mika didn't die, or disappear, whatever!
I'd say it's rather likely that we'll get to see Mika again in the next episode.
And I suspect that it was Fumika's mother in the end as well.
Looking forward to the final episode!

My thoughts, more or less. I don't want Mika to be gone, really looking forward to the final episode. This anime feels so short. ;_;

Hm so I wonder if Fumi shot Mika. I doubt it though because her "body" wasn't around but it might have disappeared though I still think she is alive somewhere.

I found it very very very wierd that Kirameki had a sex change. I don't think I needed to see that part.

Ehhh? Were we watching the same show?

I agree. If she simply shot Mika, then they would have shown it :P They want to keep us in suspense and questioning!! Fumi could not have had that dramatic of a personality shift, so incredibly fast. Something's up.

And another scene that makes Kaname realize that it was actually Mika he was in love with, not Fumi... Which is going to turn out to be an interesting relationship, because I think Chiaki found a way for her to stay in existence -- but probably as a dead mail carrier xD

"Would you like to meet my girlfriend and her talking staff?" Haha.

I really didn't like this arc at all (liked the episodic episodes alot more) but the entire was worth it because we got to see Fumika playing the wii which was one of the cutest scenes I have seen in a while. I was generally bored throughout the episode (something felt off about the pacing, but I assume that is just me). I do look forward to the last episode, heres to hoping that Fumika's mother gets whats coming to her (for leaving her daughter in the hands of that psycho and living what seems like the good life on her own).

Yeah, a bit of a letdown after the last couple. Of course, I generally hate the whole guilt/must take my punishment thing when it shows up in my anime.

I liked this episode, pacing and all! I think Fumi and Mika merged somehow because of Fumi's resolve at the end. Maybe they will be re-seperated next epidsode becuase of Chiaki's research. I think that was Fumika's mother...not simply her father having had a sex change. Can't wait for next ep!!!

They did one thing wrong, there's no way someone who has been sleeping for 3 years, will just walk normaly =/
Other than that, I found the episode was very good. I hope that Mika is alive. Also, that woman at the end, looks like it might be Fumi's mother.
Really looking forward to the last episode =)

Woah, now that you mention it, she really does. But it can't be, right? Since Chiaki would be an old woman by now. I'm guessing it's Fumika's mother.

Fumi-chan playing the Wii was so cute! :3
& I'm really liking Kaname more and more as the series goes on. It was totally Mika he had a crush on though.

Fumika's mother most likely, which would her make a previously mentioned character.

And I think you are all forgetting this is anime, and in anime convetions, people can do things one normally can't. Just let the whole "walking after three years in a coma" thing slide by.

Anyway, I think either she got Mika's personality together with her own (maybe Fumi actually got shot, that'd be a twist) or the shock of re-learning all her bitter memories drove her into the cold attitude she now has. I think it's about time she put Kirameki in his place, although I don't know how willing the police will be in believing her story.

hmm that lady does look like Chiaki. I don't think that would be her mother even if she was mentioned before (and not only because she has a totally different hair color).

Climbing those stairs must've been killer. Thankfully she got Wii training beforehand. Wii would like to play

Fumi probably isn't dead (since Chiakis effort would have been useless then) and this is heading for grad final (happy end as far as I think).

What a great episode. Though I can't believe that Mika would shoot Fumi without any hesitation. The finale is finally approaching, and I wonder how they are going to resolve this. The show seems to always have a lesson for something which always comes with death, so lets see if we see that again or a happy ending.

maybe she'll get to live with her mother and lock that psycho dad up or atleast her mother will own up and do something for her kid. it will be a good ending only if kirameki ends up in prison where he belongs.

Shigofumi n°1 anime of this season ! And this 11th episode proves it once again, brilliantly directed, very deep characters and character development, awesome soundtrack and animation, and even if the script is not the best out there, it's sufficiently well done and paced to make us want to see more and enjoy all the episodes. I must say I'm quite sad there's only one episode left, but this series will remain one of the best of this year I bet.

Since you didn't actually see it, just heard the gunshot, that means Mika isn't dead. Confirm the kill, people, confirm the kill.

She would not die anyway... just disappear...

But as long as Chiaki manages to get her approved as a separate being, because she disappeared/can be considered dead, that means she can legitimately get her "job" back!

Which is what i think will happen, somewhere on those lines!

It seems to me like Fumi and Mika merged again after the shot. Fumi got tougher all of a sudden so it wouldn't surprise me if all the knowledge Mika got from being Shigo-Fumi (pun intended) got absorbed into Sleeping-Fumi (another pun intended.)

As others said this episode didn't really catch my attention too much. Oh well. One more episode to go.

If we got 80% or higher let me know! :)

Wow, first time I've seen shisha in an anime o.0

I'm also unsure if that was Kirei at the end or Kirameki w/ a sex change. The latter would be funnier.

I'm hoping that's the case.

No offence to Fumi but Mika is alot more interesting. If Mika's stuck inside Fumi then that'll be terribly boring.

I still don't know whether she actually shot her or not. Oh well, onto the next episode~

Forget being able to walk after three years, how did she get up from the bed that had no tubes hooked up to her. What were they doing to feed and monitor her all these years!

Episode was alright. I haven't liked the last two episodes very much but I guess it had to be resolved somehow. I think Mika and Fumi became one person again. That sounded like Mika talking at the end of the episode. It's weird. If she's atoning for her sins going after her father isn't the best way to make Fumi happy, or maybe she wants to protect Fumi by putting Kirameki in jail.

Maybe the reason Fumika was able to walk and all that stuff after lying 3 years in bed is because Fumika the postal worker (aka Mika) is still a part of Fumi, as in all the walking and exercise Mika does goes into Fumi's body.

I dunno that's all i can come up with, otherwise they completely overlooked it since its a fictional story.
