| I am of the opinion that a single, well placed and timed slap can works wonders under the right circumstances. But that being said, this woman lost the right to give one a long time ago. Unless they pull some fantastic storytelling and character development to redeem her from her seemingly outright villanous role, highly unlikely now that the brother has already taken that path, I imagine she'll be presented now as the ultimate evil to be defeated. If only she had followed that slap with a single tear, just the smallest show of concern for her daughter... |

| If I could be an expert in just one arcane, and madness inducing field of study, it would be you. |
| It was a good episode overall. But the visual quality (art-style, animations and design details) was extremely poor. From episode 3 onwards, the visual quality in each episode was downgraded and reached its peak in this episode! This anime deserved more than this in visual quality... π₯Ί |
Wow, what a whore, to say the least, the first thing she does is slap her daughter when she is conscious that she was the reason for Sayu to leave in the first place. Things are going to get interesting on the next episode, we are close to the end. |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| Rooftop scene was done right. It was emotional. I didn't expected Sayu's mom to jump into her arms and apologising instantly, so I'll give her ONE chance. I don't want a repeat from Hanebado. |
 |
| This was a nice episode to watch. I enjoyed the nice wholesome moments there were in this episode, I see that Sayu's mom is still the same incell as she was before, she really doesn't care at all, so there's literally no point in her wanting Sayu to be there. |
 |
| For me the pacing really seemed to drag this episode. The plane ride and the cafe visit were okay as "slow down" moments that had some nice bits such as observing the girls outside the cafe, but then came the school scene, which was even slower and felt like they dragged it out longer than they needed to. The roof scene was important, but most of the time spent making their way into and through the school could have been cut. It's as if they wanted to end the episode with meeting Mom and needed to draw out the rest so it didn't end up happening with ten minutes left. |

| bruh the things these characters say sometime "are you sure you really want to come" Girl we are 40000 feet in the air right now a little late to be asking that. i wish i actually cared about Sayu as a character or else this episode would've done something ,but that ending had me dying what a awful way to end a episode domestic abuse cut to cheerful ending theme |
 |
| That mom... I can't blame Sayu for wanting to get the hell outta there. No way she's gonna want to stay after that slap. |
| what a letdown. Sadge |
| I fail to understand people who complained about sayu's mother slapping her. I mean, that's what parents normally do. She's been away from home for 6 months. No matter what the reason is, even if it's caused by herself. Her mother still has the right to get mad at her. From the first time she's introduced it's obvious that she isn't the kind and loving type of parent. I'm not expecting her to hug and kiss her saying that she's worried about her the whole time. Sayu needs to snap back to reality. Also, that slap was perfect. Well... almost. If only it wasn't done from like 2 meters ahead. At least it wasn't as bad as kumo desuga though. Not exactly a good episode. But at least sayu is now resolved to face her mother. This better not develop into 'your mother is actually kind and love you' or smthn. |

UkRs said:  not to sound like an asshole.. but Sayu was being waaay more melodramatic.. and i was cringing like hell in later half.. i love sayu mother for slapping the shit outta her.. she deserved this more before running away.. remember kids.. Sayu's mother did NOT disowned her.. Sayu freaking ran away.. and running away is the worst thing a teenager girl can do.. and Sayu's mother already knows that Sayu destroyed any chance of getting a normal life after sleeping with a ton of randos.. 99% agree with you my vro,but in case of her mother slapping you are slightly bit off. Yea for a teenager girl running away is the worst thing she can do. But the reason... The reason is solely based on her mother behaviour.Make sense that her mother by slapping her makes the right decision,but if you think reason....You somewhat pisses of! |

Don't get into my way, I don't have any heart  |

| My man is rich with those Lexus's. Also damn I did not expect that ending, Im glad that Yoshida went with her to Hokkaido. |

DoraemonPure said: the thing that bugs me about the whole situation Is that the brother knew about it and clearly lives on his own. Granted he did what he did because the show had to happen. But if this were a realistic scenario I would the brother would have taken her to live with him for a while or got youth/CPS services involved.UkRs said: not to sound like an asshole.. but Sayu was being waaay more melodramatic.. and i was cringing like hell in later half.. i love sayu mother for slapping the shit outta her.. she deserved this more before running away.. remember kids..

| People are acting surprised. From what we've heard from the mother so far, this is entirely in character with her. And things are only going to get worse from here I bet. |

| BRO WTF IS UP with those character models!!! If you somehow missed it, take a look at the shot when they just walk into the house, 21:35 I think should be the timestamp. Just LOOK at those CREATURES WTF Also I noticed at the end of the ED with the two looking out into the distance standing under the tree, yoshida's body has definitely been shrunk. It just looks so funny. And yeah I just love the happy upbeat ED music that cues right after the mom freaking BITCH SLAPS her own daughter.... yeah I just abused my child now time for some happy music!!! LOL No I don't hate this show I still am very much enjoying it. But dang there's just so many unintentionally funny moments lol. Lots of emotional shit went down in this episode but then there's the character models at 21:35. Very nice. |

AnimeSSonic said: luinthoron said: She went there to make peace with what happened, before finally being able to face going home. How does that possibly not go with the flow of the story? Why? That wasn't the reason she ran away. She ran away because of her mom's insensitivity - which was presented rather hastily. It doesn't fit into the narrative. She was sad by her friends death, not traumatized. She ran away from home on impulse, not because of anything to do with her dead friend. Visit her grave to make peace. That's what everyone else does. Give her a flower while you're at is. She was traumatized enough by her death to not go to school again and just withdraw into her room. Yes, she ran away because of her mother, but what her mother accused her of was exactly her friend's death. To be able to make up with the mother she first had to come to terms with the underlying trauma from her friend's suicide. There's no getting over her mother's accusations while even she still can't forgive herself. |

| Usually you'll get scenes where people slap someone out of worry but that is not the case for our shitty mother here. There is not a single amount of worry in that mother's face. Pretty good episode! Really glad Yoshida was there with Sayu, I can't imagine her being able to face her past all alone. The grip strength on that girl though, Jesus lmao. That episode was also pretty good pacing wise, it didn't feel rushed or anything. The ED playing after Sayu's mother slapped her is comically hilarious lmao. Kinda was expecting Yoshida to catch that slap, sadly he didn't. Gotta give props to Sayu's va though, she did great. The OST was great also. Looking forward to how Yoshida is gonna roast Sayu's mom. |

| how to be dislike for your 1st apparition ? Do what Sayu's mother do... :') |

Mistaavee said: Criticiza said: if I were missing from my house for more than six months, my parents would beat the shit out of me first and then worry about if I was okay by myself all this time. Jokes aside the first thing her mother does when she see's her daughter after she's been missing is slaps her? I guess this might be played off as she was finally showing emotion but still violence is never the answer - ususally xD It's not bad, that's just how Asian parents are. Dw mine are pretty much the same but it's mostly the fact that she slapped her then looked dignified straight after. Like I'd get shouted at whilst being slapped, not slapped and then have a staring contest xD |

| Sayu's brother is way too lax... I said this before, mf let his sister run away with little pocket exchange wtf. I get he trusts Yoshida now but why did he let them go into the school at NIGHT? Sayu's mom is the worst mom ever. When you lose your daughter for some time like that, all logic and reasoning start to fall behind and you just want to see your daughter again. Slapping her just when she came back especially when there was a chance that you'd never see her again was too immature. I understand that she had a reason to get angry, but she could've shown that anger later. Hell I'd say Sayu's brother deserved that slap more than anyone. She could've even slapped Yoshida lol. |
| Although I felt good for this series from the starting but coming to this one left me feeling things unfulfilled or not done properly. No am not talking about the slap in the last but how sayu talked herself (with yoshida) to be able to stand up to what happened with her friend |
“ If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom... ” |
| Honestly there's a ton of worse things to bitch about with this show, but Yoshida's comments to Sayu on the rooftop hit a special nerve. "If you can't forgive yourself, you'll be stuck here forever." "It's all in the past now." "You cared too much." What a clown, and what terrible writing that this is supposed to be the scene where Sayu finally confronts her terrible past and begins to get over it. Saying shit like this to a traumatized person in reality isn't gonna help them at all, it's just gonna make things even worse. It's outright dismissive of her feelings, downplaying them as if it was something that could be forgotten just like that and even puts some of the blame on her in a situation that's clearly not her goddamn fault and clearly something she's been beating herself up over this entire time. Of course, much like how Yoshida's misguided saviour complex actions are portrayed as straight heroism (because he's such a nice guy that literally everyone in this show has to humble brag/pat him on the back about it), this gets played completely straight as good emotional support... even though it reads like the exact same shit her mother would say about this. Only good line there was the part where Yoshida asked if she was okay and she went 'not at all', because of course she fucking isn't. Honestly at this point I'm just waiting for Sayu and Yoshida to get married (or at least have some dumb proposal scene) already so I can cast this in the mental fires of hell with zero regrets. |
| I can't lie, deep down I was hoping they would do some butt sex in dat school.. Woe is me kek.. XD Dat slap should have opened her eyes further lets be honest here. But damn Like I always have said, a little suicide never hurt anyone ;3 |
