yeah kaori is being a little too harsh with her sibling. in reality i dont think a sister would ever be that mean.

She's not mean but rather being very selfish imo

I'm probably gonna cry next episode ;_;

Just because she's walking around, acting normal doesn't necessarily take away from the fact that she has a life-threatening disease. We don't know the disease, it may be a disease with no urgent symptom, but at the last stage it becomes lethal. Anyway, I'm really starting to like Shiory, not that I didn't like her before but now I see who she is and I would definitely hang out with a girl like her. It will be very sad if she dies.

They should just bring Mai to do some magic bullshit on Shiori.
Too bad Mai's hospitalized.


Tobad, Mai said that she couldn't do anything because she lost her powers for awhile... ;(

I hope that Yuuichi can make a Shiori very happy, even if its only for a few days!

It feels like this arc is nearing its end already. I'm not particularly enjoying it.

So, Shiori is going to die in a few days.
She is walking around happily without any difficult, very late in the evening, without anyone to look after her. No hospital too...
Meanwhile, it is freezing like hell and also snowing. And she isn't even wearing a coat.
Then she gets home by herself at a time where every normal girl her age is apparently sleeping.

Sorry, but that is just plain weird. I know it's anime and it doesn't have to be realistic, but this is just against anything reasonable.

Lol yeah. I have big issues with this show.

Shiori - bland, boring as hell.
Kaori - my rage cannot be contained. What a damn bitch.
Ayu - the best by far, tbh.

Great episode! It was a quite nice attribution to the story when Shiori joined the school, the rest was mostly the same only more extended than the 2002Version but ow so lovely!

Decent episode with a good build up. Was having some doubts as to how deep this arc was gonna get at first, but now I am a little more assured, looking forward to seeing the rest.

0.o I feel like the death count might actually go to one by the end of this arc... Also I hate Kaori... she is a pretty big drama queen to act like the victim and make her dying sister feel guilty for existing...

I'm starting to like Shiori more and more! Too bad she probably won't last too long..

And did anyone catch Yuichi's under the breath "bitch" after talking to Kaori and her refusing to have a cup of tea with him and Shiori (while Shiori was looking around in the stuffed animal store)? Hah I thought it was hilarious; Yuichi is one of the more realistic characters in this anime.

Errrr, naaah, they can't kill Shiori, that impossible, she's too cute and innocent... :'(

Kaori is cold, gosh... But still, I hope Yuuichi succeed. Her relation with her sister can't stay like that when she's laying on her death bed.

Ayu was really cute in this episode, always trying to confort Yuuichi. It's obvious that it's Yuuichi that gave her the headband.

Kaori is just going to end up beating herself up because she's going to regret not spending time with her sister while she was alive.


Exactly what I was saying to myself as I was watching this episode! Knowing that annoyed me so much!

I am trying hard to sympathize with Kaori. I can understand how she feels, seriously. I know it must be incredibly painful knowing someone close to you is about to pass on, and you want to minimize the pain as much as possible. But... c'mon, SHIORI is the one dying, yet she's the one being selfless and considerate of her self-centered sister who can't seem beyond her narrow viewpoint to understand how much of a bitch she's being. SHIORI is the one who tries to understand her sister and make it as easy on her as possible. THE ONE WHO IS DYING. C'MON NOW.

Instead, Kaori should be doing all she can to ensure Shiori enjoys the few days she has left to the best of her ability, but nope. That is just asinine.

This arc is by far the worst. Sick-girl moe is the worst kind of moe. She's cute but has no personality, it's like she's only in the show to die.

They really gave a huge leeway for Shiori to develop in this remake, and I am really glad that they do so. The time they spent together now seems more significant, and Shiori coming to school caught me by surprise. For those who think that Shiori really has no hope, are you really sure? From what I see things, she seems to get increasingly healthier and better...anymore would be spoilers, this is a 'deduction' for now.

Now I have started to question the person whom Mai was actually referring to. When she mentioned about a person close to him in need of him, is it really Shiori? For those who have watched the 2002 version first, can it possibly be referring to
This is really pure deduction, as I really don't think KyoAni can foreshadow that far and some more, it is currently Shiori's arc.

In the 2002 edition, it happened so that Kaori and Shiori met by coincidence in the fountain-place (wait, was it really a coincidence, or was it just because they did not have screentime to actually say that it was Yuuichi's plan?), but I guess they wanted to notch things up here a bit by portraying it a plan from Yuuichi himself. I am really satisfied by the amount of effort given by KyoAni on Shiori, expanding it up to 3 episodes. Although, I do have to admit there were some unnecessary moments and this could actually be shortened to 2 episodes in my opinion. 4/5

Oh yes this piece caught me by surprise, I really liked it a lot, musicality-wise. Did you happen to find it?

Yuuichi is such a good guy for caring about everyone <3 When Shiori asked Yuuichi to be her brother I was a bit disappointed...I hoped she would've asked him if he could be her boyfriend instead. But I understand the circumstances how it went, due to Shiori being ignored by her selfish sister...

I think that I am starting to like Shiori a little more than earlier.
Because of that scene with curry and later bento ;]
I wonder waht was that product in bento on top left near broccoli and eggs?

anyway the one who he really need to help is Kaori ;/

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I disagree that Shiori has no personality. I personally really like her dynamic with Yuuichi because she is willing to call him out when he says sarcastic, hurtful things. She also doesn't have a cutesy noise and has very believable motivations and desires. Yes, the on the point of death but healthy and cute as a button is a bridge too far, but it doesn't ruin her as a character.
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

so nice when Shiori prepared a lot of lunch. Looks like the food taste good too.

I hope she can still somehow be cured.

Episode was good enough except those parts having the ice-queen wannabe Kaori in it. Not in a mood to harass someone, so will just leave it at that.

Kaori's attitude is just sad. I guess she doesn't give a shit about her dying sister and only cares about herself.

I understand Kaori's actions. It's easier to let go of someone if you distance yourself from that person. It's wrong but logical. Under normal circumstances, it's easier said than done.
