I remember my first time seeing fireflies. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. No, srsly.

I'm a bandwagon whore

Fujimoto was a badass in this episode!

I guess those thugs are part of the yakuza. I'm just wondering how Sayaka got involved with them.

Good episode... was little too much to see Kobato violated but what to do. -_-''
Well it was touchy, but not to make me cry. Most of the time when I see tears I cry.... TT.TT

I find it funny how only NOW some people seem to notice the two candies in the bottle during the ED which have been there since episode one and pass it off as the studio being lazy =P.

BORING!
Not a single element of this episode took me by surprise. More annoying, though was that I just don't think she helped Mori.

I was hoping that the time limit would speed up the pace, but I guess not. I foresee some montages of her helping people while the jar fills up. They should have just made it a pez dispenser instead of such a huge flask.

An enjoyable episode. The old man's story was heartbreaking. D: I actually got sad during this episode. The firefly addition, very beautiful

I like Kobato, because she one of those optimistic characters that actually do something. Such as when she tried to defend Sayaka from that debt collector by acting as a barrier between the two. Sure it wasn't anything physical like a punch, but it was a lot more than what those types of characters would have done. :)

Sweet episode, though a bit overdramatic. Anyone could see from a mile away that that guy was the author of the firefly book. Anyway, pretty ending.

At first, this was just pretty lol, seeing as Kobato failed at reading a picture book xD

Then after a little while, things suddenly got interesting when the thugs came by.. And Kobato showed up another side to her usually clumsy persona xD

And that author's story was quite interesting as well, not to mention it was a sad one.

Actually I think this episode was way better than the previous, since it had some substance, while the previous one was kinda.. empty o.O

This episode felt very "by the numbers" to me, but I guess that's the kind of stuff you can expect when your goal is to go around collecting things.

It's starting to get repetitive. Side Story A about a person with a scarred heart, and side story B is about the nursery.

Our fireflies up around Cleveland, Ohio are super chill and just crawl on whatever touches them (easy to catch, lol).
And they don't hold their light, they just blink, which looks cooler, imo.
Lots show up around July.

Although we call them lightning bugs. :D

Very nice eipsode, IMO. I thought it was pretty heartwarming and the ending at least had a gentle atmosphere (the setting helped, probably).

I'm interested to see how things turn out with the whole debt-collection/debt sharks ordeal... Will Kobato be able to "heal" Sayaka? (Does Sayaka need it...?)

This episode is definitely one of the best episodes for me. That story of fireflies really touched my heart. Regret always comes last. If Mori went with Naoko in the past, she could have avoided that accident. Man, if that was me I would have went with her.

That part when the bully guys came into the nursery and caused disruption was also cool. I didn't expect Fujimoto to know martial arts, lol. Kobato was also darn epic when she stood there and tried to protect Sayaka. I thought Kobato was going to summon a gun from her chest or something, lol. I wonder what Sayaka owes them.

Hurray for Kobato since she got 3 Konpeitos now. Too bad she only got an 80 from Ioryougi since she put tons of books on top of him, lmfao.

I'm enjoying this while having lunch.
Hotaru sure is sugoi. Hope I can see the real things.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list

I really liked this episode, it was pretty emotional. It's kind of rare for me to be touched by a character that I don't even know yet, but this show manages to pull it off.
I'm looking forward to more.
