Oof. That ending made me cry.
Major mixed feelings. I suppose you're supposed to be glad that Kaede memories have returned, but having the "new memories" deleted is quite the punch in the gut.

Either way, next episode is the last episode, and I don't want it to end.

Its bad, because the other Kaede is now gone. So for Sakuta, even though he got back his old sister, he lost his other sister who he also loved dearly. Its great that she has her old memories and personality back, but it just doesn't sit right that her other memories and personality are completely gone in exchange.

Damn, gonna miss memory loss Kaede, she was just way too cute. I hope that personality will somehow merge with the pre memory loss one. (This is basically what's going on with Sakura from Zombieland Saga as well, hyped for the ending of that!)

Hyped for the ending of this arc too :D.

That was messed up! I knew her memories would return the moment she kept saying she's got confidence that she can go to school over and over but man... that drastic change in tone and personality tho...I don't want this Kaede!
#NotMyKaede
#BringBackPandaKaede

This is now my #1 arc! they really saved the best for last (well... not actually last since Shoko's arc will be in the movie)
I really felt bad for Panda Kaede throughout the ep, she really wanted to do stuffs cause she knew she didnt have enough time left... and I love how Sakuta handled everything, from taking care of her and bringing her to the zoo and then tricking her into school, this man deserves an award!
That was the fastest 24mints I've ever experienced in this show, gonna be a sad day when this ends, I already miss it, hoping this all ends well with Panda Kaede and JK Kaede fusing like how Futaba was.

MayInu said:
Nice episode, but judging by Sakuta's reaction, I don't think that's the original Kaede. I think maybe this is a new version of her? Idk, but Sakuta was too shocked. He knew she might be regaining her memories, so I don't see why he would react like that if that was the original Kaede.

We'll have to wait and see. I'm not ready for the end of the season and the wait till the movie is out tho =0=

No, that was the original Kaede, she could instantly tell Sakuta's her brother, Sakuta was shocked because the prev Kaede AKA the cute panda loving one just disappeared.


That's not going to happen. The original Kaede and the post-amnesiac Kaede are two different people. Futaba only had two different personalities and that was because of the syndrome, unlike with Kaede which has a real disease and her syndrome isn't related to that.

And prepare for next week feels. :P

The other one is a false personality created by amnesia tho So I'm glad that we'll never see her back again.

Really nice episode!

Kaede is a really sweet girl and it’s such a pity that she got that kind of treatment. She’s really trying her best and Sakuta is being an ideal Onii-Chan here, very pleasing to see such a nice sibling relationship! Adventure through the zoo and the school at night was really heartwarming to see and the OST provided! Cliffhanger sure was tense though, I’m looking forward to seeing this side of Kaeda but what a timing, Kaede really worked hard to get that far and now it’s all gone. Really saddening to see. Let’s see how Sakuta reacts to all this! I hope his parents come back to their kids though.

Really looking forward to seeing the finale now!

Rather than false, it was a new personality developed from a Kaede who had no memories, so its as real of a personality as any.

I mean... There was not much of Mai/Sakuta funny interactions and the episode was really heavy, what with all the sad shit happening, so I can't really say this episode was that great, but at the very least I didn't feel bored.

In most of the other arcs, Sakuta was this outsider doing his best to lend a hand. He was never in much real danger, nor were his friends (except in Mai's arc), so we didn't feel that much pressure, instead we felt more of a mental challenge.

But then comes this arc bearing down its cruel fangs on our hearts. What's at stake right now is his Imouto Kaede. I felt his frustration for not being able to help his sister, and god knows I felt his despair when he realized she was gone. Replaced with Kaede-san. Just like that, without him finding out a way to solve things peacefully, the sister to whom he devoted his last few years and their memories together were simply erased. A sister of his' died. He can't feel joy about his sister having her memories back when the sister he knows no longer exists.

It's just too sad. Too frustrating. But hang in there, dude, I can't say you've been through worse, but one thing is for sure: you never failed.

Damn. People aren't kidding that this might probably be one of the most emotional arcs of the series. My tears are spilling out throughout the episode... Now, I can't choose between this arc or Mai's arc.

So after the bullying incident, Kaede lost her memories and became the panda-loving Kaede we see since Episode 1? That must be heartbreaking for Sakuta. Seeing Sakuta cry just hurts me. And that's how their parents leave them? Poor Sakuta's parents...

Shouko-san is the one who saved Sakuta and gave him a heartfelt advice. Though the mystery around her remains until the movie.

Seeing a little sister with a brother complex, that has a justified reason, is so refreshing to see after so many anime keep pulling the same thing regarding little sisters.

Wow. That's the old Kaede? Her different tone of voice really surprised me. Her tone sounds like she might be a bit of a brat. And she doesn't seem to remember about the fact that she was bullied to the point of trauma. Hmm...

I'm going to miss the cute Kaede...

And it's going to be the final episode next week... Damn, I'm going to miss this show. This was such a great show. Can't wait for the movie!

Of course, it's a real personality and all. But not really the real kaede which had most of the life on that body until amnesia appeared.

This is one of the best episodes of the show. Kaede's portrayal and her interactions with Sakuta add a new level of gravitas and nuance to the show, and it makes me more invested on Sakuta's efforts to help his sister. Apparently, Sakuta is worried that helping his sister overcome her trauma will change her irreversibly; but Kaede herself is forcing that change because deep down, she doesn't want to be alone forever. I like how Sakuta attempts to find a middle ground between the person Kaede is now and the person she used to be. Hopefully, the next episode will deliver a satisfying conclusion.

Mmmm after this ep I'm kinda confused:
If Kaede lost all of her memories about her past she doesn't even remember about being bullied, right? So why is she so scared? I understand they may have explained her the situation, but being told smth isn't the same as going through it yourself, so wasn't her fear of the outside a little bit of an exageration?
If someone could tell me if I'm missing smth I'd appreciate ;)

I miss the old Kaede, straight from the Go Kaede
Chop up the soul Kaede, set on her goals Kaede
I hate the new Kaede, the bad mood Kaede
The always rude Kaede, spaz in the news Kaede
I miss the sweet Kaede, chop up the beats Kaede
I gotta say, at that time I'd like to meet Kaede
See, I invented Kaede, it wasn't any Kaedes
And now I look and look around and there's so many Kaedes
I used to love Kaede, I used to love Kaede
I even had the pink polo, I thought I was Kaede
What if Kaede made a song about Kaede
Called "I Miss The Old Kaede"? Man, that'd be so Kaede
That's all it was Kaede, we still love Kaede
And I love you like Kaede loves Kaede

oof that ending i expected if they end on a note like that it'd be a bummer , personally i'm indifferent to this outcome it's a lose lose for Sakuta and everyone else which is depressing.

but up till this arc i did not care for Kaede since she was a walking bro-con trope that made me hate it every time she showed up now shes just a normal girl


so lets see how this ends hopefully it's a interesting outcome

Well, can't say I'm surprised it ended that way. I'm really looking forward to how original Kaede reacts to learning of everything.

I gotta say I really like how they handled Kaede's mental illness -if you will- of basically being a neet. I kinda didn't care too much about it before, but the last two episodes really made me care. There's a very simple ost they used when Kaede was walking down the street with Sakuta (and I think they used it last ep when Kaede went outside for the first time) and I gotta say I love it. It sets the somber mood so perfectly.

Also I can honestly feel for the parents a lot more now. The mom suffered a mental illness herself and so Dad had to get her out. I'm sure they were still paying for the house and such. It's not like they just abandoned their kids.

Another awesome episode!

Now we know the backstory about Kaeda's dissociative disorder, causing memory loss about everything, we saw aswell how Shouko is related to Kaeda and Sakuta, she helped Sakuta to acept her "new Kaeda", and made him the person he is today!

Poor Sakuta, have to be far away from Mai for 2 weeks! But he will wait everynight at phone for her calls!

After seeing Kaeda forcing herself so hard, he decided to confort her, visiting zoo with her, was a cool moment between both, and after that he take her to school at night, motivated her to go at day to school! And in morning she wakes up with old Kaeda personality, didn´t expect that, was cute aswell and i like her, definitely another person, but honestly i would prefer her with both memories!

Sakuta was really shocked, was completely how i feel aswell, clifhanger for next episode, lets wait to see how Sakuta will lead with this, and how it will finish!

Definitely the best arc till date, great episode again.

We finally got the full backstory for Kaede, I was kinda confused at the beginning cause for some reason I thought the Kaede story was happening right then and not as a flashback that Sakuta was telling Mai so it took me a good bit into this episode until I sorted that out and everything made sense.

It was real bittersweet to see Panda Kaede trying to do all the things she wanted to with the little time she had left. T.T
Love the way Sakuta handled everything from the Zoo visit to the stealth school visit.

That last scene was soul crushing. T.T
I mean this might be the 'real' Kaede but my Panda Kaede is just as real and I can't bear to see her gone. The best end to this arc would be if both 'Kaede's' merged into one cause the true Kaede is the one shaped by all her experiences.

She's never going back. She was just a fake personality made by amnesia.

If you want a spoiler, that's it. Kaede never returns to her amnesiac state again.

So we're calling Dissociative Identity Disorder Pubety Syndrome now?

Hmm...For some reason, Sakuta's comical responses aren't as funny as they were before. Maybe it's because of the pacing and tone of this episode...

600 Yen admission to enter the Zoo? That's a good deal...

Sakuta and Kaede taking a tour around the city...

And Kaede loses her memories again, or rather is a different Kaede with the "Was my room always like this?" statement. We're going around in circles now. One more episode to go. Let's see how Sakuta solves this.

First 3 episodes of this show were really great.
Then there were some good episodes.

But last 2 episodes were kind of boring and repetitious. By now we have watched the same formula applied in several episodes and its not interesting anymore.

It would have been far better if the show focused on Mai & Sakuta relationship. But it was just put it in the background in favor of

the "Waifu of the Week" formula

Love this episode!. I think the point of this episode was the return of Kaede's memory. The way they build the plot to bring the memory back was so great. They put step by step on it, regardless the days jumping/skipping.
Eps by eps this show is being more and more interesting, can't wait to see how is 'real' Kaede's personality.

Last but not less, I WILL MISS CUTE KAEDE (T_T)

Just saying. Yurika Kubo's performances is awesome. When the voice changed from Panda Kaede and Old Kaede, i am suprised. So there is the reason why Kaede acted like Brocon Imouto. Kaede lost her memory and everyone couldn't accept it, even Sakuta at the beginning. But in the end only Sakuta who still care about her. It made her feeling to Sakuta changed. and now from what i saw from last scene. the real/old kaede is more mature and a bit have Sakuta behaviour.

So does that means that she'll be transferring to another school???


She might've changed schools, or she was wearing the summer uniform. I hope she really transferred to another school. Staying in the same school where she was bullied makes no logic.

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I'm glad Kaede returned back to normal. From the tone of her voice and demeanor; she seems confident and no longer needy and helpless. She's cured and that's something to be happy about.
