It's kinda embarassing to say this as a boy, but i cried. Really. The first time i cried watching anime... correction... the first time i cried watching something. I was reeeally sad. I'm starting to like Tegami Bachi more and more.

And the opening is absolutely lovely! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

Such a sad story. Felt awful for Darwin having spent much of his life faithfully waiting for his master who would never return. Letter Bee couples don't seem to have much luck...

Recycling plots is bad. I fast-skipped all of it.

Furthermore, the quality of the animation was WAY lower than the OVA. I'm sorry guys, this episode did not do the trick for me.

Again, the tragic story of Elena and Darwin is made really really tragic. Really got the viewers into it.

RIP Elena and Darwin.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Sorry but that is not a re-airing. It is a remake if I could say it.

1. I cried. That was so sad. Even though I knew what was going to happen. It was STILL REALLY DEPRESSING.

2. Largo is too pretty to ever be a main character. Yes. Too pretty.

Ah, no filler for this episode. That was nice about that, but I am afraid that next episode is a filler.

Dawrin is like fry's dog from futurama
They both waited for their masters


Yes the very same! They even had that old look about them. Both the Futurama and this episode made me bawl my eyes out.

I remember the OVA, which I just watched a few days ago, being better. That said,


All in all, it seems to show that the anime could be good if it weren't for all of the filler...

I think this was better than the OVA, even though they were basically the same thing.
Still just as sad though. I like the added ended.

And next episode= filler... again?? T~T

Well right as I say that episode 16 is my favorite delivery, this one goes and just completely out does it. Wow, that was just so beautiful and bittersweet. Darwin being delivered to Elena's grave so that he could finally rest in peace after all of the waiting he endured. This episode did a nice job at displaying just how important the Letter Bee - Dingo relationship is in their line of work. How they're both partners who look out for one another as well as comrades. They were best friends and in that sense, this really was a delivery of the heart in its most pure form. I nearly choked up on tears when Darwin laid down next to Elena's grave, his journey finally coming to a close. This was the one time where Lag's incessant crying was completely called for.

Reminded me of Jurassic Bark too, just a girl and her dog. There's something about waiting for a dead friend that works so well as drama. This is probably my favorite episode of the second cour so far. Not flawless, but it was solid.

Why the hell you're making the old dog walk, carry him dammit! Lag and Niche's stupidity of just letting Darwin use up his last ounce of strength like that when it easily could be prevented made me really angry and they lost a lot of points in my book for such a heartless blunder.

And that stupid Elena, why the fuck are you bitch leaving your injured dog on a fucking street?! Leave him at home! Or better at a friend's where he can get the care he needs! This episode made more angry with this beyond awful animal treatment than anything.

Thank you for the video. I was interested to see this familiarity with Futurama, about which people here were talking. +1

I've cried too. Very sad episode, but it touches the heart.

Watched both versions, the music is sadder in the original version, animation is obviously better here. Poor Elena and Darwin.
