| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Was I supposed to take this episode seriously? It was so... exaggerated that I knew it was a dream. Anyway, maybe this means Kyosuke is gonna end up with Hikaru? I hope not. |

| Two worst KOR episode contenders, in the space of three episodes. I'm almost impressed. So, let me guess this straight: Kyosuke needed to be punished for thinking/saying what he should have around 40 episodes earlier, and everything was made right by him claiming he wanted to see Hikaru smile more than anyone... right next to Madoka? What a load of rubbish. Clearly, either the author or animation studio tried to convince themselves Hikaru has a purpose other than being annoying as fuck, and the attempt ended in failure. The only way an episode like this would be good is if Hikaru actually died. An over the top, obvious dream episode, centered around the plot device, is not want I want to be seeing, so close to the end. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that this was one of the last manga chapters before it was canceled, and if that's so then it's no wonder. Everything now rests with the final three episodes, which I'm assuming/hoping are serious, based on episode 45 being the cut-off point for all but the final, post-TV series OVA episode. |
| what's with the last 3 episodes one was so serious, it was out of place one was yet another retelling of a joke once done one was just a dream jesus christ at this point, the lack of cohesion is killing me it feels like they ran out of material to work on and tried experimenting by mashing every random shit they could think of and hope it works out well rumiko's works are like that as well, but NOT as extreme as this 2 consecutive episodes are the definition of polarity though i guess this is acceptable, since it's old and today's standards would never accept "it's just a dream" but really mane, this show has just become way too predictable already it would be overstaying its welcome by doing the same things again and again |
| They really wanted us to feel bad for Hikaru in this episode, didn't they? It looks like Kyosuke's sisters, with the help of their Gandfather, played a little trick on Kyosuke after hearing what he said about Hikaru, and it certainly scared him. Hikaru is a great, cheerful person, but Kyosuke is eventually going to have to let her know that it's Madoka who he loves. |

| Staff: Director san we had enough of Hikaru, can we focus at least 3 episodes for Madoka x Kasuga official ship? Diroctor: says furiously "NO, STRETCH IT MORE TILL THE END" and NO IS NO. I believe this conversation had happened when it was in production, I understood the point of this episode that Kyouske cares for Hikaru, but I don't see any breaking point at this late. |
| This had the best Ushiko und Umao scene so far xD Quite liked the episode @Raizel I dunno about you, but I had a big smile at the end. Poor Yuusaku, tho, he's still getting cucked and this time it was beyond brutal. Hikaru dismissively told him to get in the river for her, while she was hugging her darling. Lord have mercy on his poor Soul. |

| Haha, so much hate for this episode. The true thing is, yeah, it was kind of predictable, and yeah, I get people hate Hikaru since she doesn't let the obviously winning ship be, but come on guys, it wasn't that bad. If anything, I feel like we've only had Ayukawa and Kasuga moments throughout the series, so seeing an episode like this felt nice, even if we all know she's not the one that will get chosen. |
| What the absolute fuck. Is this the studio's feeble attempt at making Hikaru somewhat relevant before the series ends? It was done in such a lackluster way. You could tell it was a dream straightaway (though part of me wished it was more of a complicated hypnosis where Kyosuke acts like a dumbass to everyone and nobody has a clue what the fuck he's doing). Yes we experience strange things in dreams that we'll find serious while in the dream but ridiculous while awake. This episode points that to the nose way too much. They actually could've created a real nightmare instead of this overexaggerated fuck. Don't tell me the writers thought nobody would give a fuck about a serious death episode of Hikaru so they tried making it comedic instead? That'd be fucking hilarious. Yuusaku seems to be a simp to Hikaru till the end. No, simp is too kind to describe him. He's more like a slave. I can already tell what's going to happen in the next episode. Madoka and Kyosuke will try to get intimate and either Kyosuke will wimp out or their session will be cut short by an awkwardly timed interruption. These kinds of episodes were fine in the middle of the series but now it feels pointless. I remember Urusei Yatsura pissed me off with weak final episodes but then the movie made it up. I sure hope that is the case here. But to be fair I did start this series expecting something like this to happen after seeing it has 2 sequel movies. |

| @0451 It's funny to see someone with a Lum profile picture say that when Hikaru is essentially the series Lum (except she's not as abusive.) lol |

She's basically all of the annoying aspects of Lum without all the charm but I digress. Also, you posted the same reply 3 times. |

| @0451 Can't say I agree. I'm not a huge fan of Lum (except for her design) but I found Hikaru really endearing. |
| Even though I think Hikaru is best girl I still really liked this episode even though she "died". It was so over the top it was a nice break from all the serious episodes lately. I think this was probably the best episode so far. I like it when it's sillier like this. |
| The only reason I dislike this episode is because it's a Hikaru-centric episode, but it's a good one. So bratty of Hikaru to exchange notes in a diary, then ask him to read the contents aloud in front of Madoka. tsk Anyway, I knew it was a dream when there was talk of a national day of mourning for Hikaru. She won this episode. I can't wait for the inevitable split. |
