Quite a happy ending. Police took care of that financial pyramid, and what's more Torotoro-san stopped being a hikikomori and enjoyed his new life. I guess he will be now a huge support for his sister.

Satou is really ungrateful. He got nutritional food made by Misaki, yet he complained about what he received. :S

Anyway, what the heck was wrong with this episode's graphic quality? Sloppy animation, badly drawn art in many scenes. I hope this letdown was only for just this one particular episode, lol.

Welcome to the rock bottom. Let's get the bad out of the way. This episode looks like a$$. I've always thought the animation was wonky but thought it could be excused as quirky, but there are no two ways about the fact that this looks really low effort.

With that out of the way, a very touching episode in terms of Sato-san meeting the literal embodiment of rock bottom in Megumi's brother. While I thought that character's arc was resolved a bit too conveniently it seemed to give Sato the impetus he needed to finally (finally?) get back on track with the gal-game.

Yamazaki is senpai but Sato-san gets the girl? Life and anime are not fair...

An anime tries something in any way non-standard or actually interesting with it's animation and this whole thread goes WtF Is ThIS AnIMatIoN dId a 5 YeAR oLD DrAW iT????!!!!!111
Reading these comments made me cringe so much. I loved this episode, the different art style really suited the different atmosphere this episode had. Best episode so far, I hope the last few episodes keep this kind of style.
That's kinda cringe but I laughed

This anime has so many beautiful soundtracks. Found the ost album of this anime on Spotify, if anyone wants to listen there:

Exactly my thoughts, couldn't believe what I was reading. The animation and episode directing was just incredible, I'm dying to know who was behind it.

For the conclusion to a filler arc, this episode had really some strong moments of characterisation. I'd previously thought that the episode where Sato met with Hitomi in his apartment was the all-time high point of the series, but this one clearly knocked it out of the park, even if the ending with Megumi's brother was a little jarring.

An episode like this was what I expected when I started watching this series. It's a little disappointing to finally get it since there are only 5 episodes left, but I'm glad I got what I wanted.

episode had a heartwarming ending. Loved that scene where he broke from both his shut-in status and his NEET status.

However, Episodes 15-19 HAVE BEEN A DRAG, even though episodes 16 and 19 WERE GREAT and contained some eye-awakening scenes, these last 5 episodes just meh.

good luck with game progress sato and yamazaki.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

Now that I look at it, her brother doesn't even show up on the poster of the anime. Well, good thing he returned to his normal life.

Surprised everyone is saying the animation was bad. Thought it looked way better than the rest of the show, like way way way better, really stylised with just in general really nice animation.

I really didn't like this arc at all, until I got jumpscared with dem tiddies lmao. That aside, he really got more development than Sato in like 3 episodes.

People really watched the the best looking episode of this whole goddamn series and complained. Ya'll probably think something like Baki looks generational for being too fucking detailed for no reason at all but it barely even moves.

Well, the gang is out of the pyramid scheme. Kobayashi had a pretty sad backstory.

Sato is such a jerk. How can you bite the hand that cares enough to feed you? She's putting so much thought into the food and he's being so ungrateful. Just say thank you!

Was not expecting to see some tiddies.

It only took 3 days of starvation for the brother to come to his senses?

Ahh, so all it takes is for Sato to starve for him to change his ways.

Couldn't stop smiling like I was the one who fixed my life, so happy for him!

Meanwhile Satou is still same. Ungrateful to Misaki, haven't completed the story. I doubt we'll see any certain character development.

fairly satisfying conclusion to this weird ass arc, i just don't like how the characters had to take a nosedive into complete retardation to make it here, but the ending for me was satisfying enough i guess. sato's character is so odd now though.

also megumi HONKERS GODDAMNNNNNNNN

I liked the direction for the animation in this episode. Loose yet crisp at the same time. Really made it look like a whole different anime.
I was also glad to see Torotoro change himself when he realized he can't rely on his sister anymore. Now im just waiting for Satou to finally progess and write the damn scenario!!!
