| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- My tears are really sensible, these last weeks. ;_; Good to see this adult Taisuke. EDIT: First! And I must add this comment from someone at Crunchyroll: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/g6orub |
| AWESOME episode. I almost cried at some points. And I'm sure that I am not the only one who noticed who the person Bossun saved was ;) So does the Bossun arc. still continue next week? 5/5 |
| I shed some tears. BGM really makes the scene more beautiful. Great episode ♥ Already 'Happy Rebirthday'?! Surely, next episode will be great too. |

| Im betting that Bossun will get with Hime and have his own son. :p And who was that old man at the end? |
| Awesome. Best episode so far. Not even Switch arc come close in comparison It's been a while since I'm almost crying watching an anime Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| I'm not one who easily cries but this bossun arc was so sad and SO GOOD. I loved Switches/Onihime's arcs but Bossun's on a level a bit higher. Episode 48: Rebirthday - does it continue somehow next week? |
 |
| Couldn't help but laugh at the hit and run number plate. My second favourite episode so far… quite liked switch's brother episode slightly better |
| so many tears ;~; |
| That was a great episode, been waiting for it all week. Himeko looked fantastic :o I wonder what next episode holds. "Happy rebirthday"? 5/5 |
| Really nice Himeko after credits |
 |
| All the flashback arcs are sooooo good in this anime. Can't wait to see Himeko in a maid outfit next episode! |
 |

  |
| Switch's arc was sadder and more well-done imo, but this arc was good too. |
| the manga of this was good, but man, the anime was epic! The BGM was great, and bossun was great this arc. By far my best back story BUT!! can't wait for the next episode, think that'll be just as good as the previous two!! xD |
Katsuri said: Switch's arc was sadder and more well-done imo, but this arc was good too. Well in this arc you actually got to feel bad for the main character, instead of being mad about his stupidity. Like in Switch's arc. |

| Next episode will be good can't wait |
| Next episode! <3 The old man... is Guess his last name. This was pretty good. I liked the manga version better though. |
| Last 2 episodes were really depressing. Maid cafe at the end lightened up the mood a bit, especially Himeko in that outfit. |
| even without reading the manga i knew who that kid was but i did shed *A* tear at the end..next week is Happy Rebirthday lolwut arc part C?. |
 |
| i love bossun! one of the most likeable characters in anime/manga tbh. not gonna try to compare any arcs, but let's just come to a conclusion that these "serious" eps are the best. but it sort of made me realize how much i appreciate the energy that is sket dance. apparently the anime doesn't really do the manga any justice but it's still entertaining! |
| I was getting all teary ;_; but then in the end when Bossun got smacked in the face with the bottle cork, i laughed so hard XD nice one! haha |
| 💕 |
| I cried. I love this anime so much. It makes me laugh and cry. Perfect. |
| Ufu! the megane dweeb was Tsubaki! I always knew they had a special bond. and lol at the Beelzebub ref in the end. As far as this arc goes, it was pretty good, but it could have been better and less cliche. It was better than Switch's arc though, which, while it was powerful and tragic, it wasn't executed in a way that was suitable for this anime, in my opinion. |
A pinky-promise ain't something you take lightly -- Sakata Gintoki GINTAMA... I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR LEVELED-UP RETURN!!!! I'M WAITING FOR YOU... KINTAMA!!!!!?!! For the rest of you waiting with me... GO READ GINTAMA NOW!! (start at 372 where the anime left off) And everyone else, GO WATCH GINTAMA!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!! |
| I haven't cried this much since Switch's arc. |

ichigo03 said: OK, seriously, how old is the Sket Dance mangaka.....because he writes like a 10 year old! So, I thought last week's episode was great, one of their best ever, I expected an even better follow up in this episode. I honestly can't believe how HORRIBLE the mangaka is at storytelling!!! What the fuck, the guy that was saved by Bossun's dad just happened to be at the EXACT same spot and at the exact same time with Bossun? OK....sure But it gets better.....he happens to have the gift which Bossun's dad left behind, 15 years ago? Why didn't he give it to Akane....why didn't he try to look them up through all these years, why does this seem like a story written by a fucking child!!! Then the guys that were beating on Bossun happen to find the same kid that walked by during the beating....and Bossun changes his "I'm NEVER going to help anyone" decision....WHY EXACTLY??? Who writes this shit, everything is so damn convenient, this is utter garbage storytelling!!! Just because we had a nice moment with Bossun's adoptive mother and sister, doesn't mean it's a good episode, it was TERRIBLE writing and storytelling. My God, this is why this anime can't be taken seriously.....every time it attempts to do a serious subject it ruins it with horrible writing. Guess you're not the type that enjoys cliched scenes. |

My God, this is why this anime can't be taken seriously.....every time it attempts to do a serious subject it ruins it with horrible writing. How about you actually watch the damn episode and pay attention to what they say instead of thinking of how to criticize the show. Firstly, Taisuke happens to be there because he goes there every November 11th to place flowers near where the accident happened. Secondly, he didn't look them up because he didn't know Ryousuke's name. Lastly, he changed his stance on helping people because of the letter his dad had written for him. It's not that the mangaka was a bad writer; It's that YOU have the comprehension of a 10 year old. |

| ^ I think someone just got pwned. Cried for well.. pretty much most of the episode LOL, excluding the funny bits. To think, after watching everything made by Key + AnoHana, I should be able to withstand any drama.... =_= |
 |
| Gintama has already spoiled the next episode two times... hohohoho |
| As to why the kid who was saved is carrying the present--I can think of two reasons: 1. He already goes to leave flowers every year on the anniversary of the accident. Since the gift and note are the only things he has to remember the person who saved him, it isn't beyond belief that he would carry them with him. 2. If he is interested in making contact with some relative of the person who saved him without having a name or address, the one fact he does have is the place where he died. It is remotely possible that a relative might show up some day on the anniversary of the death, so why not carry the gift and card with you since you are going there anyway. It is the only lead you have. Now I won't say that this is the best strategy for trying to contact the surviving family (doing a search in the archives of the local newspaper to get the name of the fatality would probably be a better way to do things), but it isn't absolutely unthinkable. As for the relative weight of conincidence or fate in connecting the characters in the show--I think that partly depends on how you see the universe unfolding. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| *claps* SO BEAUTIFUL!! ;~; |
| This episode was so sad T_T Poor Bossun. Flashbacks in this show are really good. |
| Thanks for making me cry for another week, Sket Dance Q_Q |
 |
| It was cheap, but bloody effective. Manly tears were shed all right - flashbacks are mighty good in Sket Dance, gotta admit it. ...but Rumi's voice was as annoying as ever. |
     |
| Such a touching arc.... I def cried. <3 Loved how it showed WHY Bossun is the way he is! |
