That confession at the office!! The ending for this episode was truly awesome! I shed tears.... T_T

Congratulations to both of them and now they can happily spend time together and share memories together! :D Although I hope this lasts before the real feels strike where it'll really hurt... Dx

Hm, an okay episode. I don't think that ending crying scene with everyone around was necessary though, some quiet, not so crowded place would suffice.

And that partners switch wasn't really necessary, this way it looked only as plot device.

Haha, Kazuki also became a comical character, good job taking your characters seriously.

Show Isla "Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora", this cliché is getting more frustrating to watch, it's 2015 and you are still writing like a third-rate tv drama from early 2000, where is your creativity?

I don't get it, now Kazuki suddenly wants to help Tsukasa? But just five seconds before you said there would be irreparable damage if you don't stop them. And "irreparable damage" is a extremely vague term. What is she referring, to the company or to Isla and Tsukasa? And how would there be "irreparable damage", is just two people fall in love, don't you at least first respect their decision and ask questions later?

Seems like Kazuki is the one constantly running away from her problems, no wonder Isla became so pessimistic.

Sure, these thing have human rights but you can decide whether or not teach them emotions, and somehow they can't learn that themselves even though they are claimed to be extremely human-like. See the damage done by episode 5?

If you want to show Kazuki is feeling guilty of making the wrong decision three years ago and now she is trying to persuade Isla using her own personal experience, then using closeup shot of Kazuki's face when she said it's no good for Tsukasa might be more appropriate than a wide shot because that is where the emotion overlap each other. This show is also weird that whenever there is a serious moment the camera position would become so formulated and prefer a wide shot more often as if there's no thought put into it.

Finally! And I predict their first kiss would also be their last because this is how this kind of anime works.

I have mixed feelings about how this show should end. Though it will be very sad I prefer a finale full of feels with Isla being retrived than a gigant deus ex machina happy ending.
If the guys doing this have the balls to end it the "feels way" I'm rating this a solid 8

Though what happened was expected, it was still pretty sweet in the end for how it was done. Definitely liked this episode a ton. It was also neat to find out Isla was the one who started the different retrieval method of Giftias for this specific branch.

Another great and heartwarming episode. I'm glad that Isla confess her love to Tsukasa but now I'm more interesting to see how it ends? I sense a bad ending but I hope this anime has a good ending.

LOVED this episode. The only thing that pains me is that this episode marks the end of the happy emotions that I will be feeling as I watch this show. At this point I have accepted the fact that I will be bawling my eyes out at the end so hopefully I can cry while watching Isla depart after spending her final hours making memories with Tsukasa and everyone else. But at this point, I am having serious doubts.......

It seems like the music direction of this show has gotten better with more episodes.

Is it just me, or is the style of facial expressions in this episode much different than the other ones? I personally find this style more attractive.

I noticed that there was a lack of laugh-out-loud comic relief this episode. It all panned together nicely, actually.

Also, the couple of episodes showing the black market retrieval guys seem very out of place now that there is a much more defined path that the show is heading.

I am genuinely glad they choose this path...If it focused on the way that world works with the story of giftias&stuff it would be shit as a 1 cour there is no way that would work...

it's been a pretty one dimensional plot... not very deep. some parts are kind of lame too. their execution is a little poor.
but the characters are pretty colourful which helps with having committed till now. but I did expect more of it at the beginning.

So... what exactly are they going to do for 3 entire episodes now? Slice of life until she pops her clogs? Hopefully this goes down a more interesting route because I can see this getting really boring really quickly.

I want happy ending. Tragic ending are good when it happens all sudden. In this case, bad end will be shitty like this in Shigatsu, it was to obvious. When I watched Shigatsu I just waited till she die. I wasn't feel anything. PM for now is way more superior in any aspect than Shigatsu (story, music, characters design and type of drama... Ok backgrounds were better in shigatsu). Feels are real, I can empathize with characters as well.

Btw Clannad ending in this case will not work too. Totally different story.

Dat hourglass flipping was too obvious man, too obvious...

Solid, but there's an issue I have(among other issues) about the whole anime- their emotional ups and downs and connections seem a bit manufactured and one-dimensioned. They conform to the plot and are mostly stated in their lines...but they don't really seem real, especially Michiru and Kazuki, whose storylines were both grossly undeveloped due to time constraints. In a sense, not their memories but their emotions feel 'plastic'

The fact that Michiru specifically said "there can't be a good ending to this" in the previous episode makes me there will be a good ending to this.

Moreover, we've seen Tsukasa asking his coworkers if it's possible that Giftias can retain memories of their previous lives after expiration. His respondents were unanimously certain of the impossibility, which makes me think it will be possible, at least in Isla's case.

Given the above, a happy ending wouldn't exactly be a deus ex machina. There's at least been some foreshadowing.

Really, kindergarten. No one thinks how pleasure will be there apart.

Moreover suddenly Isla become hard worker. And the moment Isla got angry, then speak too much - i was really feeling like her character is crumbling.

This series is about nothing. They started on one things, then moved to another. And say particularly nothing soundly anywhere.

In a much better anime, you could argue that Plastic Memories is a condemnation of the "plastic" feeling you get from watching these sorts of melodramas. Unfortunately, we're not in a better anime.

I'm just going to repeat what I said on AS.

I actually agree with Isla's reasoning and think it's completely understandable why she would want to distance herself from a relationship. Therefore I find Kazuki (and the others to a lesser extent) unreasonable. Islas not being stupid, petulant or short sighted at all and her position is completely reasonable.
