| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This went so much better than I expected. His mom was there, Jerome wasn't, everyone is happy and he even got information about his real parents. And I guess that also means Jerome has stopped being a huge asshole since he's looking for them? There doesn't seem to be any profit in it for him with Remi supposedly gone already so that's how I interpret it. Now if only the narrator hadn't spoiled the part about his real family early on :/. But I'm still looking forward to hopefully meeting Mrs. Milligan and Arthur again in the future. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I must be getting old, and an old me that's remembering the child me. I'm weak against the mother-child relationships, maybe because I was always really close to my mother as an only child, and one who's been living now for 7 years in a different country from her (of course, I would never compare my situation with Remi's, but still). Nothing in this episode came much as a surprise (thanks to our "beloved" narrator... seriously, why does old anime always have to have a spoiling narrator?), but it was so well executed, I could really get the feelings from Remi and his mother, I could get the anxiety from Remi seconds before finally meeting his mother again. I honestly felt happy for him. I've come to really wish all the best for this great kid that is Remi. I'm thankful that I'm watching this now though. Had I watched this series a few years ago, I might've not really cared that much for it. I don't think I would've appreciated it as much as I'm doing it now. |

| Beautiful episode. I wonder where Remi and Mattia are going to go next though. I can't imagine Remi and Mattia would split, but I don't think Remi has it in him to coerce Mattia into staying with him since Mattia is shown to get tearyeyed when he's reminded of his mother. I hope along with Mrs Milligan and Arthur we'll get to see the other Acquin children too |
| I actually think it's not bad to know who they truly were from the beginning. Impossible to tell from a viewer standpoint and for certain, but now it definitely won't be coming out of nowhere. It's something that kept building up in the background and that I've been looking for a while now. So yeah, there's that. Also this episode was beyond great. This just can seem this satisfying because of all the pain during the journey. |

| Yeah I agree that the narrator didn't do anything wrong. It actually makes me care for Milligans more and look forward to Remi's next encounter with them. Knowing they're family made me like the Swan episodes even more and made Arthur's illness even harder to watch knowing he's Remi's biological brother. It's not even a spoiler if the creator wants you to know something. It's been going way too smoothly on Remi and Mattia's journey so far. Feels really rewarding seeing the characters in a more positive environment (even though their journey is still a gamble and everything can go south at every moment). Remi's reunion with his "foster" mom went so smoothly without any complications. It makes you wish they just stayed there forever and maybe went on short journeys just to earn money. |

| A perfectly wholesome episode! Even though it had some traces of sadness and goodbye at the end. I was on the edge of my seat yet again! I was so nervous, I kept thinking something would go wrong, that the cow would be stolen or that they wouldn't be able to meet Remi's foster mother, or that Jerome would get in the way, I mean, after all we've been through we never know. But I'm so glad everything was so beautiful, even the poor Chavanon village was shining, I loved it. Mattia trying his best to cause a good first impression was adorable and Joli Coeur II's reaction was priceless! Everything was smooth and all, but then she tells Remi that they have some news about his true parents and that Jerome is searching for them, I hope that it isn't to take advantage of them as he always wanted, the nerve of appearing before them after selling their kid and having no idea where he is! I hope he's changed, but I guess this may be wishful thinking. We're getting closer to the end and I fear for the future, things have been too good till now. |

| The show become a lot more bearable to watch after Mattia join the journey with Remi. He is a really neat addition compared to before Remi was still with Vitalis. This last few episodes are also more enjoyable too. |
