| I'm tired of Tada Banri's bullshit. |
| This was great. Lots of drama and a very interesting progression of events. I like how all the previously foreshadowed developments are really coming to the forefront now. Not sure what was going on in that last scene, but I'm inclined to say Koko was faking what she said for the sake of some plan she's cooked up to get Banri back on his feet. Still, real or not, that was a really harsh way to reject him. I do have to complain about Golden Time's unrelenting tendency to spoon feed everything about its characters' thoughts and feelings to the audience. Toradora had a minor version of this problem, but's its really noticeable here. I've lost count of the number of long monologues where the characters tearfully and dramatically outline their emotions. The cast is well-developed, but a little more subtlety would be appreciated. |

| At one point, Koko will watch the Oka-Camera and find out that Banri's memories return every so often... Next Thursday when?! |
Aerensianic said: You guys are forgetting that he also yelled about how he wants to stay with Koko. . Yes we saw that but I doubt that Koko, if she did actually pick up the camera, would watch all the way through Banri screaming for Linda to that part. It would be way too hurtful! However I'm not convinced that she did actually see the video as Ultrasonic would know if someone had her camera as she's particularly attached to it. I think she was really hurt that Banri ran away once again. Still, I'm not sure why she was such a bitch when she dumped him, unless she is just really hurt and lashed out at him. Knowing her it's certainly possible. I doubt that her dumping him is some 'master plan'. As to the preview?? well I'm not sure what that tells us. After all you can't be bitter at someone who you loved for ever. She sure dealt some heavy damage to him though!! As for the end? Well I still think the Koko x Banri end is the target, I think the Linda ship sunk with all her dishonesty. I'm really interested in what this thing is that only Linda knows. Was Linda and Banri actually dating and did Banri ask her to marry him and that was the answer he was waiting for at the bridge???? |

| I just don't wish that they will do a filler ending. Since that episode is the end of volume 7 and volume 8 will be released in Japan on March 10. So, Where the hell did they get that preview? My guess is that they already have the copy of volume 8. I trust JC Staff, on all the series that I've watched that was made by them, nothing ended bad. |
| This is a signature. |
| So Koko is only said what she said so she does not cause Bandi any trouble in the future, but she did in her own way that caused even more trouble. I just hope I am right. Great episode!!! |
 |
| That ending was terrible; like a bad korean drama. i hope it was a dream or just a bad koko thing that doesn't last long :( |

They're doing exactly the same thing they did with Toradora. In that case the last volume came out just as the anime finished. It's a really good marketing strategy particularly as vol 8 comes out just after this episode. If i could read Japanese right now I'd be jumping on Amazon and pre-ordering the last volume! |
|
| Oh wow dat ending. Caught me way off guard. Just what is going on.. is it just a dream or is Koko planning something? Liked this episode though. |
 |
| I was in shock at that ending. I'm going with the scenario that she saw the recording of him freaking out. -_- Freaking getting tired of Banri |

| SO.MUCH.DRAMA. |
 |
| This show is slowly losing it. Score down to 9/10. Get a grip ffs. yukishiromei said: I'm tired of Tada Banri's bullshit. Exactly. I think Linda was too. She was like "Wtf, THIS AGAIN?!?! What gives, damn it?!?" |

| Split personality lol. |
 |
| That ending just made me go "What the fuck." Seriously, what is this anime trying to do. |
 |
| Great episode but the ending better have been a fucking dream! |
| wow the ending hit me really hard...the last scene from the ending could be a dream possible due to the next episode preview, or it could all be true due to the fact while he was confuse after suddenly getting all his past self memories back that was filmed and koko could have seen that...well either way i hope he gets his happy ending. .after the series ends |
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 show is random as fuck. Banri starts getting an epilepsy due to his old memories returning, which causes Kouko to bad mad. Mad enough to ditch all of her love for Banri and walk out on him? Yeah sure, as if that would actually happen. You'd have a better chance at convincing me Obama's white than the fact that this anime's realistic. |
 |
| All things working out according to King Torture's plan! |
| thats just nuts. |

| Oka likes Yana now. She is really late about it though. Banri's really starting to go insane now, it scares me. He better tell the others, or else they'll assume the wrong thing. That ending... that can't be real, right? Koko couldn't have gave up on Banri that easily, right? Now I have to wait a week again to find out, ((T T)). |
| wtf koko? -_____- |
| So from that ending she must of saw the tape and was cutting her ties with banri? still Godamit this night has been a ton of drama we really are the climax of the season lol. |
 |
| i believe this was the creator's attempt to abolish the Koko fan base. |
 |
| I haven't read the manga (and I don't on to) and I was kinda expecting Koko ditching Banri already since Koko seems to have moved way too fast from Yana to Banri. Right now, I have really mixed feelings about this show like I did from the beginning and I really cannot wait to see how this ends. EDIT: I'm gonna call Banri's suicide. (Haven't read the manga like I said before) EDIT EDIT: Opinions: Chinami's cool but she's dug her grave at that celebration so no Yana X Chinami unless if they wanna go a "dis not gon make sense but the fans gon liek it so les make dem a cupple" route; Koko ermergerd I knew it was too good to be true; and I like Linda so FOCK OFF, OLD BANRI YOU SACK OF NICKELS Anyways, I feel bad for the guy. Tis all. |

| To those saying "I am tired of Banri's bullshit" how exactly is severe head trauma/confusion/being afraid because you don't know what the fuck is going on with your head "bullshit". The guy has serious mental problems. In the real world anyone who suddenly gets confused and snaps back to his old mental state 2 years ago would be in the hospital under evaluation and seeing a psychologist. |
| Finally full drama breakout. Wonder how it will conclude. |

That ending... that can't be real, right? Koko couldn't have gave up on Banri that easily, right? Now I have to wait a week again to find out, ((T T)). He did tell the others .. in a rather indirect way. He basically said to his mates that the story he told at the cult was true. He hasn't told his history with Linda but Ultrasonic probably got that there was some major linkage to them. I am concerned about him though. He just lost one of his major supports when Koko dumped him. He will treat any association with Linda with suspicion as Linda is past Banri. It's lucky that he has his mates which are all unknown to past him as it gives him something to hold on to as something unique to the last 6 months. I know that Koko was a real bitch the way she dumped him, but perhaps it's the sanest decision for HER ... probably not for Banri though :( |
|
| LMAO... this shit is now going full retard huh. not sure what to think about this show anymore. the whole disappearing thing is getting redundant and stupid. kaga koko suddenly dumping him is... i dont even know. can't blame her, really. this is an anime that often portrays relationships as generally warm and fuzzy but can you guys even understand how much BAGGAGE dating tada banri (let alone marrying him) would be right now? my god. dont think i can handle 'crazy' in my 20s. |

| I just realized that the most likely way that Kouko saw the video of Banri freaking out is from his recorded 'video message'. What looks like happened is when he asked Untrosonic to record that message he made it for Kouko. Ultrasonic then gives it to Kouko unaware that there is the extra 'freakout' at the front. There's some pretty good reasons for Kouko to dump Banri here. Firstly there's him screaming out Linda's name but the big one for me is that he asks everyone present to lie to Kouko that he doesn't have his memories. Also it must really hurt to know that person you love is in love with someone else as well as you, and that at any moment he might want to chose someone else. Still .. bitch move though :( |
|
| Lol.. after making all the fuss about ''i will be there and stuff'' she actually striked the end blow. anyone in banri place would have acted like that.. it would seriously freak anyone out |
| Can't believe people are actually buying Koko's break up. As others have said, I simply couldn't see such a(bitterly realistic) outcome happening with how much the "Koko's overwhelming love and loyalty to Banri" dead horse has been beaten. I think she trusts this Tada Banri completely, so when she heard that he'd run away even though she had helped him resolve to tell everyone as a step toward moving forward together with her, she knew that the old Banri was most likely about to take over(memories coming back). So in a sense, yes she was saving herself from getting hurt, but I also think dumping him while he's still her Tada Banri was the key to her bluff. I'm sure she trusted that putting him through that before his memories came back would serve as some sort of trigger to bring his consciousness back in a lame anime way. Kind of in the same way old Ghost Banri wanted to come back for Linda, this Banri would be brought back to the surface because he wants to fight for Koko or whatever. So maybe the foreshadowing will be fulfilled and his memories will return, knocking completely back to where he was. That would explain him and Koko acting normally to each other, as if they were meeting for the first time. I really actually hope that's not the case though, as what respect I have left for the writing will have been lost if it is. |
