| I liked this episode but I think that Banri should have done something, he knew that he was going to die so just try to live all you can without thinking about it. He wanted to go hospital, that was a good idea but too late. And last line makes me think... If he isn't here anymore, how he can say that? Fiction I suppose. I'm surely going to miss this show... |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| I don't think this is Ghost Banri because Ghost Banri "saw" the events that happened after Banri lost his memories. He was probably just a representation of Banri's old memories. I teared up a bit twice in the first half with Koko and Banri talking and Banri temporarily losing his memories right in front of Koko. Also for the first few seconds of the Banri and Mitsuo soon, but then I started laughing when they started showing each others faces because I thought they were gonna make a joke about it sounding like a confession and Banri being creeped out. I also laughed when Nana said she just decided to sleep in his bed and Linda commented on how not to let her guard down around him because he's a guy. The mom cares but I think she misses the old Banri despite his previous flaws, which is understandable. I also think that Linda has moved on from her feelings she had for Banri and she's probably opening up to Mitsuo which sucks for Oka, but I'm a Okax2D fan anyways. I know it's most likely gonna end with BanrixKoko and somehow the situation will be solved, but the drama is heart wrenching. :( |

| I wish Banri was able to give Kouko his mom's ring and after he loses his memory, he'll be able to fall in love with kouko again because he remembers the ring! The ring could've played a major role! |
| I'm expecting a happy ending, but in only one episode? Wow... Lots of stuff are going to happen next week. Looking forward. |

| I don't get it is old Banri different from the ghost Banri that's been watching new Banri? |

| 12:36 how the hell did linda know where banri would go crazy? 14:51 nana x banri in bed 19:23 banri x yano = YAOI :d ---------------------- 1. Seems impossible for banri x koko to become just friends again 2. More nana & linda show time would have been nice 3. Well, next week is last episode. I'd prefer it end bad. Cuz then I'd remember it for a long time 6/10 |

I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Back to 10/10 after this episode. And god damn it, I did NOT expect ghost Banri to win it all :D |
| Mitsuo's such a bro. I feel like that it's for future Banri, period. :/ He was actually a pretty good MC, too. |
    |
| Even thou' I just read the comments I still dont feel prepared to start watching again Golden Time. I'm too connected to the anime and I cant focus at anything if I start to get into it again. So , I'll suck at work and I want to keep my workplace so.......... Basically my heart gone "doki doki" only from reading the comments from episode 20 onwards I cant imagine how I'd be if I'd watch the episodes..... |

| Achtung achtung! Bull$hit episode detected. |
| Heartbreaking episode :( and possible finale. He needs to check into a mental hospital. |
 |
| That scene with the slow mo dance made me cringe a bit, I thought they were going to make him go crazy mid dance again and that would have been stupid. I feel an open ending coming, gonna have to get the newest LN. I'm still on board the Linda ship. |
| Banri's screaming was entertaining. |
 |
Hitashi said: I don't get it is old Banri different from the ghost Banri that's been watching new Banri? Ghost Banri = Old Banri + all the knowlege of watching new Banri as a watcher. Ghost Banri knows currentl Banri's life, old Banri doesn't. Old Banri = before incident Banri |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
| Thank you Linda (!), Nana-senpai, 2D and Mitsuo for actually making me enjoy this show way more than main characters with their cringeworthy moments (not that i dont feel bad for Banri tho, thats whole different case). Mitsuo tearing up made me tear up a bit as well.I can see that inside hes not a bad guy, its just that he's a little player who needs to know his place more. Jocko said: IMHO all she deserves now is to be alone and happy, or get to know 2D more.She wouldnt be 100% happy with Banri right now.At least thats what i think.I'm still on board the Linda ship. |

SweetKotomi said: fezzy_2004 said: anyone want to start any ending predictions? I expect Banri to just be friends with everyone. No romance, no Kouko kissing Banri, or Linda confessing. Just a plain friendship episode. As for what was Ghost Banri. I believe it was just Banri's other self that was trying to take over but settled down afterward. Now we get these normal panic attacks which is quite sad to see Banri in such a depressing state because it's not his fault he has those attacks. As for Kouko, I hope they don't end up together. I mean breaking up with Banri because she doesn't want to see him forget her and leave her. I get her reasons, but if she really did love him she'd stay with him in the good and bad times. What if they got married and after 4 years his panic attacks come back again. Will she leave him to avoid being hurt. Linda is much better with Banri but I doubt either will win. This. Dem feels. Depressing stuff.. A little mad at Koko for breaking up with him.. But I'm glad everyone else is there for him. The moment between Mitsuo and Banri.. Gonna love seeing Koko and 2D-kun butting heads XD next episode lol Going to expect a depressing ending to this series. |

| I'm going to do a seppuku and take all the GT fans with me after I finish this anime next week , it will make me forget about it and remind me of my life. *Loading Gasai Yuno - Yandere mode.......* *ETA: 6 days , 18 hours....* |

| So Golden Tiem was a show about a dude with mental problems and how he caused problems for his friends and failed to maintain a relationship with his wacky girlfriend because he goes nuts then he reverts back to his past self losing the memories of everything that happened in the show. K den :| |
| Banri's breakdowns are hard to watch and sometimes pretty funny xD Had mix feelings about his break down halfway through this episode... First I couldn't watch it all the way through and paused the episode... Then I started writing this... Then I clicked play and started laughing O.o |
 |
| Okay, I have been enjoying this series since I first watched the first episodes but I have come to the realization that the plot had been a disaster, and it pains me to say it since I've enjoyed this disaster. First off, Banri's loss of memory since after the accident is fucked up and unrealistic. The authors just can't make us believe that the supernatural happened and both personalities made their own memories, and rules in that whoever owns the body, his memories shall only retain. Now, this is only based on observation but that's most likely the scenario, and it was assumed that we were to understand it just like that. Second, ghost Banri should have known these people since throughout the episodes of his haunting his future self, he was shown to have been present, observing what was happening, supposedly knowing these people. So why the fxck is he playing I don't know who you are with these people? Big plot hole, if you ask me. Third, I've been rooting for Koko ever since she chased after Banri just to tell him she loves him. And if I was Koko, and I saw Banri in the oka camera, I wouldn't have run away. I would've supported Banri until the very end cause that's how love works. The creators of this anime tried too hard to create a problem just to embellish the show. Anyhow, knowing these things, it sickens me that I still liked the show enough for me to wait for Thursday with much anticipation. I still hope they don't bombard us with events and rush it too much in the next episode. P.s. I'm in mobile so it's hard but the post about Koko doing the same thing as Linda was mind blowing. Linda stayed as friends after Banri had lost his memories and Koko went on the same path. Koko and Linda should be closer friends. |
Marow said: Golden Time advice: Just go to a dang doctor. The end. He has been going to a doctor. Seems he regularly visits one and he is being prescribed anti-anxiety medication to help for the panic attacks. The anime briefly showed one of the sessions he was having with his doctor as he discussed the dream he had of his past self falling from the bridge. Generally it would be a bad idea for him to be in hospital, unless he is a danger to himself. |
 |
| I think that I would actually enjoy this more if there was a supernatural tag. |
|
| Despite everyone in this anime acting in completely illogical ways, I gotta admit it's an excellent story. Too bad there's only one episode left. I don't want to jump to conclusions but... shouldn't they have sent Banri to the hospital a long while ago¿ I still think he'll end up with Koko, somehow his friendship with Mitsuo, Chinami, Koko, Nana and 2D-kun will make him "merge" both Banris, the love for Koko will be bigger than the love for Linda, we'll be at peace with her and go to Koko. That, unless they decide to go for a bad end. lol |
| Interesting. So Kouko broke up with Banri not because she got mad at him for going crazy, but because he would eventually lose all of his memory and stop liking her anyway. Tbh, the way this anime has been going and especially how this episode went, there's not enough time for a happy ending. Old Banri falling in love with Kouko in 1 episode is just too unrealistic, and a sudden Banri x Linda ending is too sudden. Seems like this is going to be a romance anime that ends unromantically, which is pretty stupid. At least it's (probably) not going to be a sad ending. |

| The way this is going, Im thinking it will be Banri X Koko but im still rooting for Linda, she has been there though everything, while Koko left because she was afraid of being hurt. In the anime I think it will be Koko But in the novel i think it will be linda after the 2nd op I knew it would be some problems, it seem like it was pulling them further apart |
This life is a marathon, I'm on a steady pace |
| looks like koko will go join banri and start a new relationship. hue. |
    |
| Well all signs point to KokoxBanri end. I enjoyed the feels but when you think about it, the drama was forced and unrealistic. It still entertained me though so I guess that's what matters. |

doug23 said: You guys are all sighing and saying it's gonna be a KokoxBanri ending, but that might not be the case. The title of the show might literally be Koko and, possibly, Banri looking back on their relationship, remembering it as a "Golden Time", and they'll just leave it at that. good point, didn't realize that. Makes so much more sense |

Makes so much more sense But the thing about anime is that it doesn't characterize itself as sensical so since this is a Romance genre, the demand for a romantic ending is probably their way to go. |
| Well I'm really hoping that Banri gets to spend a night in Paris, lol. No seriously, I would be really mad if he doesn't end up with Koko and it wouldn't make sense to me. |

| damn banri pretty much turned into the guy from Memento this episode i almost got the feels this week just for the fact this might not be a happy end |

| Am I the only one who noticed that JC STAFF completely recycled the sound clip at 21:08 of this episode straight out of the Little Busters! Refrain episode previews? |
| Alright you guys, there's your Linda end. Now it's time for Koko to tear it up in the next episode and bring Banri home! Also, eheheh, I think that's as close as we'll get to a Nana romance, and dat Mitsuo bromance! :3 game8910 said: Am I the only one who noticed that JC STAFF completely recycled the sound clip at 21:08 of this episode straight out of the Little Busters!
