| 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!

K den :| Yeah that's pretty much how I feel about Banri up to this point. I know it's not his fault, but I really hope the writers allow him to get it together. The only reason why I'm still rooting for Koko x Banri is because that's what Koko wants, and I think she's awesome. Otherwise, I figure Banri should just be with Linda since she's got the patience to baby his crazy ass, but not at the cost of Koko getting her heart broken; so I'd rather see a miracle where Banri keeps all of his memories (past, present, -and- "ghost"...) and chooses Koko after all she put into their relationship. |
| Well that was a sad and an unavoidable turn of events. He finally regained his old memories and lost all of his new memories. I cannot wait until the last episode. I want to see what ultimately happens to Tada Bandi and Kaga Koko. Great episode!!! |
 |
| well that escalated quickly (o_O) this episode was great, too bad next week's the last episode :( I hope it ends in a happy ending. |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| This episode really worked for me. Solid throughout, with a few minor hiccups and comedy and drama that actually work. Koko was the most sympathetic character this episode; her pain at what is about to happen to Banri was portrayed very well, and the scene where she's crying after Bnari runs away from her on the street was genuinely heartbreaking. 2D-kun had his moments to shine too. So overall, great episode. I'm not completely sure there will be a happy ending, but I do expect the video camera that Chinami carries around to play a role in the finale. It's been present throughout the whole series and essentially recorded Banri's happiest moments as a new person. I wouldn't be surprised if it's used to bring his memories back. After all, remember the message he left himself on the camera? |

| Sad and calm ending for the most part. Can't wait to see what happens in the last episode |
 |
| Thank god this is finally over. This show is SAO-tier bad. |
 |
| I feel like this show gets worse and worse every episode. I had high hopes for it too... |
| KokoXbanri till the end \m/ Their formal breakup really hits me, and they end it with a promise wtf no idea bout the ending but really hoping for a happy ending :) |
| woohoo! forget bitch ex-gf acquire osananajimi |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Dam feeling that lump in my throat again, especially that part when Mitsuo tells Banri about how he knows... Hope this ends well |
| *insert cringey anime reference here* |
| You know what? Screw Linda and Kouko. This show would have been infinitely better if through all the times Nana-senpai helped Banri, he started to fall for her, and this show was actually about the blossoming love between her and Banri. Le sigh. Let me revise that statement. The story would have been better. I don't know about the show, however, because it had a vast number of problems that weren't story related. |

| Wow.. Each time i see Banri crying and shouting for Linda my heart aches so bad.. I'm fine with how the series is ending with a KokoxBanri route though im a LindaxBanri fan but its just painful to think of how the old Banri feels. Suddenly waking up and your best friend isnt there but instead replaced by some new girl. Scary.. Then again if Banri ended up with Linda, i'd feel sorry for her cause it wouldnt really be for love anymore but just like a mother being there for a lost child. So i guess im satisfied and happy with how this anime might end ^_^ Just a side feeling of sadness for Linda :( |
If anime characters were real, i'd probably be the happiest person alive! Or just dead.... ^_^ |
| If Koko and Banri don't end up together.... I will be severely disappointed. The ending is what drastically lowered my opinion of Toradora (which I absolutely adored until the ending), and if Golden Time pulls ANY sort of ending where he doesn't end up with Koko, I will be extremely disappointed. It would feel like one giant troll by the writer because of how much development Banri and Koko had gone through not only relationship-wise, but each in their own personal growth. So seeing Banri end up reverting back to Linda (who really didn't develop all series), or ending up with no one would be a real shame. |

shadedclan said: I didn't understand the last part. So which memory does Banri have right now? The one before or after the accident? He came back to his old self and forgot everything that happened after the accident. |

| Again with amnesia. Gosh, just how many times did the director needs to reuse this trope? This episode should have been called amnesia time. And somehow the awa dance scene being reuse again from last episodes. They all are bunch of immature school kids instead of university students except for 2D-kun. But I don't wanna bash this anime too much. I guess those who usually watch chinese drama could stand this. |
Counteraction rising Yeah we are ready for the punch line There's no use with all your gimmick So check this out! |
| I think the episode was a bit forced, the drama in the other episodes already was better rather, the drama at the beginning of the anime was better stayed everything to solve in the last episode and the best part of this episode was to see Nana sleeping with Banri, totally clueless, but it was funny I hope the anime has a great ending .. _________ acho que o episodio foi meio forçado, o drama nos outros episodios ja foi melhor melhor dizendo, o drama no começo do anime era melhor ficou tudo para resolver no ultimo episodio e a melhor parte deste episodio foi ver Nana dormindo com Banri, totalmente sem noção, mas foi engraçado espero que o anime tenha um grande final .. |
  |
| Lol no wonder Kouko broke it off.. Banri was a complete wreck and in the end nothing and no one was able to do anything about it.. And yea Nana=best girl with Loco Kouko coming second I won't lie that Banri/Yana scene was bromance to the peak of bromance.. If someone watched that scene only they would probably take it the wrong way Does Banri even get help? I keep seeing the words "Banri and hospital together" yet he never actually does |
