TALK ABOUT CLIFFHANGER.......................

The "Kaede" all this time was not the real Kaede, which gives a bit reasoning to her previous fan-servicey bro-con-like acts. I'm glad. I like reasoning.

The real Kaede's daring attitude as we can see in the last scene could give us hints about her past relationships at school.

---

On a side note, judging from this discussion, it's interesting to see how much moe tropes have a significance in character preference.

While I find it a bit odd that we're supposed to just accept that Kaede's old and new memories can't coexist, that plot point did make for a compelling episode with an impressive cliffhanger of an ending. Some more foreshadowing for Shoko's arc was also welcome and didn't feel overly out of place either.

hah, I have been meaning to do this for a couple of weeks now:


About the anime, I haven't been interested in any other characters since Tomoe's arc ended. Having the ability to reset time, but without you being able to control it is something quite unique.

Tomoe's arc alone is something like 8/10, but I just couldn't make myselft to care about anything of the rest, so it wouldn't be fair for me to score the whole anime.

Imagine waking up one day and not recognising any of your close family members, relatives and friends. Everyone wants the original you to return, and it just feels that no one is welcoming you and that you are not needed. Then your mum goes insane herself and is diagnosed with mental illness. The only person there for you was oni-san. NO WONDER KAEDE WAS SUCH A BROCON.

This show is 10/10 in going deep in every characters personality. It manages to pull off how scary it would be for someone to lose their memories, and showcases the terror in eventually losing one's old or new personality.

Think about this. If you are sakuta, no matter whether the original kaede returns, or the new kaede remains, hes still gonna lose something. Unless the author made it possible for the memories of the new kaede to be retained, which I fear is not possible

It's amazing how much you could tell about "Kaede-san's" personality with that one expression and line of dialogue. She'll be less child-like, but I'm not sure I'll like her as much...

The show asks us to accept the various phenomena caused by AS with little explanation. Futuba provides some from time to time by the way of analogies to various scientific theories/concepts, but to me that's just window dressing. It's nice that the show makes an effort in that department, but IMO it's not essential to the drama.

Great episode. Everything that happened with Sakuta and Kaede in past was revealed. That explains Kaede's clingy personality.
So she went back to the old Kaede at the end of the episode. That sure is a completely different personality.

This anime is great. So unique and well executed. It just makes you want to keep watching. I really hope it ends well for kaede. I want her to have her memories back but at the same time i want her to be the kaede we know and watched this whole season........ i want her to keep both her memories and personalities but idk how that is going to work.

Let's be honest; driving CGI cars is not really the strongest part oif this anime. But anyway, the trip to the zoo made up for it.

One more episode left. I feel like this whole story is just a dream of Sakuta as a plot-twist.
I mean the English title is afterall "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai." :-P

Love the episode - my favorite one from all. Love the way they were playing with here name. I wasn't thinking about how she use her name to refer to herself (I thought it was a cute addition to the character) and that was the reason it hit me so hard after this episode (great plot twist in my opinion).

It struck me even more at the end of the episode. Expression on Sakuta's face was so fucking excruciating.





Just look at this rascal!

Something confuses me a bit here...

So, she made herself lose her memories so as to stop the pain from the online bullying thing.

Now that she's finished her list of things to do to improve herself, she reverts back to the old Kaede but the current Kaede's memories are now gone and it seems like her old memories are back too. But then wouldn't that mean that she remembers the bullying again? And she forgets all the practicing current Kaede did with Sakuta? Why would Puberty Syndrome do this to her?

Her memories of this time would disappear because she gets her memories of the past back? That's ridiculous.

Still enjoyable. But I had hoped we would get to see another girl with a magical problem. This is his little sister, and it's weird how many Japanese apparently drool over such incestuous relationships.

Bring back the magic! But without scientific explanations that have nothing to do with the real science, like that odd explanation about Schrodinger's Cat, which just butchered the concept. That is the weakest point of the series. But it's still good, of course. Great art, good characters.

This was such a heartbreaking episode, a kind of assisted suicide.

Sakuta knew what one of the possible outcomes would be, and Kaede came to know it too.

But still they kept going :-(

And wow, what's with the hate for Kaede's alternate personality?

For such a wonderfully interesting concept, and an amazingly executed first few episodes, it pains me greatly to come to the realisation.

This anime is fucking awful.

I think the writer must have fallen and hit his head somewhere around finishing the script for the 5th episode, because good god, did the quality drop.

Every single character, lost their basic mental faculties, and opted to lose their personality, so they could replace it with stupid one line gimmicks.

The drama in particular, is absolutely god awful. How the fuck do people find this emotional? Someone told kaede to die on the internet, and now she's a fucking amnesia patient, because "puberty syndrome", which btw is never actually explained, just shoved in our faces with the apparent intent that we're supposed accept it for what it is, and not question it any further. These hamfisted pathetic attempts at being emotional killed my drive to actually enjoy the show.

Sakuta in particular is incredibly disappointing. For somebody who had a few actual interesting monologues in the first few episodes, its sad to see his screen time delegated to "oh mai-san", "i'll miss u mai-san!!", "i love u mai-san~". Every character in this entire show is unlikeable, 1 dimensional and boring. Even the characters they spent episodes building up, disappeared, and are now irrelevant.

I suppose this is what the author gets for attempting to finish the romance drama early, and try to replace with something far less interesting. Perhaps the author should stick to writing fan fiction.

Disappointing. No hopes for the final episode.

Idk, but Sakuta was too shocked. He knew she might be regaining her memories, so I don't see why he would react like that if that was the original Kaede.


Maybe because he was used to the "current" Kaede. I mean, he lived with her for a few years and she basically was a new person.

Knowing you're likely to lose someone doesn't make the event less impactful does it ?

Can't say I'm slightly disappointed. I'm glad that Puberty Syndrome isn't really the issue here (although still remaining relevant) but Disassociative Identity Disorder, a genuine mental health disorder, is, but it played out really predictable. I could tell something was going to go wrong in the final minutes of the episode, it was so obvious. Now, the issue will be solved next episode. Rinse and repeat.

You dudes patting yourselves on the back for predicting the return of real Kaede are giving yourselves too much credit. This episode was predictable in the extreme. Even Sakuta taking her to the zoo in lieu of the school, and later taking her to the school at night were totally obvious. Still a good ep though, the best ep in the last half of the season for sure.

I must say that was a rather impactful moment. I'm not sure how many people noticed that, and i'm not entirely sure if this ever happens in real life in this kind of situation,

but the partial memory recall and only half of her face actually responding to it, was a very powerful and almost frightening depiction of her brain not working correctly. And promptly concluded with her passing out, sealing the deal on her need to go to the hospital and get hooked up to EEG.

I'd hate to have to be Sakuta in this situation... It's a true testament to how much balls he's got, seeing all this messed up shit happening to his cute sister yet still keeping his cool.

In a way, that diary was a bucket list that was completed before Kaede's "death"...

Her shift in her tone was very distinctive, as if the previous Kaede personality is gone for good. I'm not sure who I should be rooting for; the cute and lovable overly-attached imouto, or for her getting her memories back and return to just being an ordinary younger sister. Current younger sister is not cute at all. If only they could make her two personalities merge back into one and keep both old and new memories, sort of like what they did with Futaba.
