THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wah, I kinda wished that Marimo would have bumped into everyone else, but I guess that might have made Kana feel a little too distant... I'm glad that they gave her an actual appearance, and her character traits are likable... but there's just something about her...

I loved the nice Saki scene though; she's so evil. <3

*sigh* Only 1 episode left...

This episode was nice and calming.

If the manga is still ongoing like K-On!, this series may be eligible for a second season.

I seriously hope we get a second season of this, this show was so awesome.

I still have mixed feelings about it, although I'm glad that Marimo actually had an appearance, I'm upset that it was so sudden and Kana didn't even notice it. Also, her personality is a little too perfect for me, it's like she has no flaws, she can sell well, she's friendly, she's nice, she's beautiful, she can sing, all animals love her, well of course Kana's feeling a little put out! Even Saki demonstrated some favoritism when mentioning her, so it makes me wonder what was the real purpose of even making her have an appearance, because I don't think it put Kana's self-esteem back up....

Don't you think that Marimo gave off a very motherly vibe though? I mean, in no way is she perfect, she's pretty childish for her age, comically scuffling into bushes and what not. She sold extremely well because everything was like 10 yen though, though I still think she has an outgoing personality.

On the other hand, I think she was there to cheer Kana up. Kana left the market all gloomy, but I feel as though those parting words about blooming give Kana the courage to just look forward to each new day with the people around her now.

Oh yes, I definitely agree with you about that. Marimo does have a motherly figure, but I just wish if they had brought her, they'd keep her because lots of fans enjoy her already, you know? I just don't totally understand the point of that but I am glad she cheered Kana up, although I wish Mika had done it, because they make a totally cute pairing. ^_^
And there's still a point to be made--- Marimo was created with a perfectionist personality that even though she still helped Kana out when she needed it, there's nothing that indicates that they may be something wrong with Marimo that led to her leaving. Or maybe she was so perfect she got a job doing something better? It's just a little frustrating to see a perfectly made character, because they still the light of the plot, or in this case, Kana, who even recognizes that she has some pretty big shoes to fill.

This is probably the episode I enjoyed most so far. I do like Marimo. From what I understood, she's the type of person who drifts around, having fun journeys, enjoying life. Hence why she left the newspaper, and why she's working in a farm (or is she just selling vegetables?...). Her personality traits may be "perfect", but her major "flaw" is that she doesn't seem to settle down in one place...

I'm sad that the next episode is the last. This series has grown on me, despite the pervert Haruka scenes (Haruka just makes me want to hit her and give her a permanent concussion lol). Also I'll miss the cute Yuki and Yume moments :(

I dunno if I'd call that a flaw but I understand why you would say that cuz its the only thing going maybe not so "perfect" for her. xD

I don't think her personality is perfect even now though. Perhaps most of what you are seeing is her mature side (thus having the responsibility to drive and set up her own little shop in the market). We can see that she might not be the best with understanding emotions since she didn't comprehend Kana's ears of happiness.

To build on what Ashrie said, not being attached to something has its pros and cons. I don't think we can correctly judge her from an episode and a flashback. I can see why you think otherwise though since all the other girls have a certain trait to them, and we see it develop, but sometimes it doesn't have to be a weakness or something along those lines.

Oh wow, I really liked Marimo. Felt like a character from Aria, and I love me some Aria. Just...pure happy. Very enjoyable episode, very interesting character, and adorable Saki ftw!

Regardless of how "perfect" Marimo may or may not be, think about how her personality would thoroughly conflict with Saki. Randomly wandering, underselling, etc. I think this episode only made her flashback story even more interesting.

Haha Saki really know how to take advantage out of her innocent looks xD
The devil in disguise ^^

Nice to see Marimo to make an appearance also, seems like she's grown quite a bit from the girl who always got lost though, as others have pointed out she almost itoo perfect.

I wonder what happened to Mika though after she got dumped by Kana, too bad they left that one out.

That was really nice, I wasn't actually expecting her to be actually catching up with her or anyone else in the first place. I was a bit disappointed that she wasn't reunited with the others but well the flea market sure was an interesting concept! I liked this episode and it's sad to know the next one is the last of this great series!

Episode was great. I really like when Marimo gets another full appearance in here interacting with Kana. Though I wished she appear more frequently throughout the season. She is a nice lady with a great singing voice.

Well onward to the final episode.

You and probably everyone here, I wanted it to happen but it was clear it would after some minutes in it.
Saki is reminds me of Rika from Higurashi.

The scene where Kana was following the woman, I was kind of expecting them to end up in Kana's house before she worked in Fuhshin Gazette. I mean, it's the 2nd to the last episode and I think that makes sense.

When the woman said she used to work at a newspaper business as well, I thought to myself: "Wait, is she Marimo?"

Such event in their place is good.. Where a lot of people selling all kinds of stuff.. Even if I wouldn't necessary want to buy anything, visiting it could be interesting, to see various things..
Kana is getting more and more depressed, it feels..
Isn't it Marimo Kana bumped into?..
Well, idea of event can be just to make people happy with the event, really.. Maybe you can earn money, but if you won't - well, maybe that's not your goal in the first place.. So in this place exactly I can understand Marimo..
