| I didn't really notice a huge dip in animation quality, this might be because I wasn't focusing, or maybe I happened to watch a refurbished version from the DVD's. I couldn't fully connect emotionally to all the melodrama, maybe because I didn't really have enough to go on as to what Atsuko's feelings really were. I did feel bad for her but nothing more. Hatchin is really desperate to protect Michiko, while Michiko is in full denial still. At least Atsuko probably understands now that she will never be able to fix Michiko. I'm actually now starting to notice a pattern I should have noticed before: Michiko and Atsuko are both chasing after their own "white whales", respectively, and when presented with reality neither of them can accept it. I guess there is such a thing as too much determination. |
| aww the ending was so sad :( but oop i guess i wasn't the only one to notice the weird animation nonetheless i still enjoyed the episode! |
| Damn Atsuko is really angry Guess this is the last time we'll see her, I like her Even though I can't understand what she's feeling She hated Michiko, but at same time care for her I guess she just want to her live normally away from this Hiroshi, it's probably bad idea anyway |

| Despite a few moments where the drawing of some character was uneven this was an amazing episode, the first half with Satoshi was so perfectly tense and the second one was full melodrama and a very good one, the idea of learning to let go despite having going so far for it, Atsuko fully embraced it at the end knowing she could never "catch" Michiko meanwhile Michiko seems getting close to that idea since now she keeps mentioning and emphasising Hatchin along with Hiroshi unlike before when she was all about Hiroshi so maybe she might let go of him? Or probably not. |
| While I'm also puzzled regarding the Atsuko/Michiko relationship, it was established that at one point they were close and cared about one another, so the ending was kinda moving, in a slightly ambiguous way. Maybe it's kind of like the whole Raylan/Boyd relationship from Justified, "we dug coal together" |
| Good episode, but I'm gonna be real, Atsuko's character is an enigma to me too. At this point I think nothing but some closure straight from Hiroshi's mouth is going to help Michiko. But I guess from Atsuko's perspective it's reasonable to think he's a scumbag gangster she should stay away from. I also don't really get Hatchin's behavior. Why didn't she immediately grab Michiko when she saw the blood trail? They would've ganked that asshat. |
