| I was feeling that there might be something wrong about people just ignoring rudely Fuko like that. I still want to believe that she will be alright one day, and hopefully not too far into the future. It would be pretty bad if she never gets to experience the days of her youth after all, even more so after she approached them with the decision to change herself. |

| ikiryou Note from Reddit: "Its because she was in a coma, but she was able to hear her sister tell her she was getting married. Her will to congratulate her sister on her marriage was so strong she manifested that will as her consciousness in a physical form. That's why she had to disappear as soon as she completed that goal. Concepts like that are a favorite of Jun Maeda, the guy who wrote Clannad." "There's this thing in folklore where a person who is unconscious or near death can separate from their spirit, which then goes off to haunt people or visit loved ones. It's called ikiryou" |
| "If a prediction is right, then it's like you only have one future. Like that future has been decided. But if it's wrong, then you have an almost infinite number of possibilities. And that means that even the tiniest twist of fate can change your future. I want to believe that I have choices - that the path I walk has many different turns, and many different roads to follow!" - Fujibayashi Ryou |
| I'm disappointed that Tomoya didn't make any efforts to prove Fuuko's existence to Kouko, though I realize it might have been a bit difficult to balance while also remaining tactful, in light of the circumstances. At least we eventually got some indirect confirmation at the end of the episode that people who can't see her can still see the stars. So the implication seems to be that if the "real" Fuuko dies, then "dream" Fuuko is not only likely to disappear, but will also be forgotten by everyone she interacted with. That's a way more depressing fate than I previously considered, so here's hoping things don't go that dark. It was nice to get a little Fuuko backstory this episode, and I loved the whole starfish vs. dango debate scene. |
| Quite the emotional episode. Nagisa and Fuuko's fight was blasphemous righty. I'm watching this both sub and dub simultaneously because they're fun! |
