| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Really adorable character chemistry between Haru and Subaru as usual. Interestingly enough, we also see some flashback of Subaru's parents. For the humor, I found it funny how Subaru managed to get Haru into that bag. Haru's desire to eat her catfood never ceases to amuse me lol |

| The cat is home alone, everyone panic! |
 |
| Good episode, look forward for the last one. |

This was a waterworks episode....I was hoping for more Subaru x Nana interaction and some Subaru x Nagisa interaction, but from next week's preview, that looks unlikely. I was surprised Nana didn't offer to keep Haru for Subaru, but I guess they aren't that well acquainted yet. |
| ok I am really worried for haru...come back soon masaru |
 |
| Damn, when Subaru saw all the 'Blue' scenery and started crying because the memory of his parents came back really got me. I teared up too. T.T. Haru's home alone, she's gonna get worried soon. They really set us up for a tearjerker finale. :( |
 |
| I was hoping Yugo-kun would appear again soon, and then he showed up! I'm glad for him, he could talk to the author he admires, say that he was sorry and even tell Subaru how his stories give him courage, it was great. And I feel bad for Kawase-san, but I love how Yugo-kun is pretty much the only guy out of Subaru's friends that Haru liked from the start. But I think that she is slowing accepting Hiroto too, she even let him pet her. Now, this is no news, but Subaru was really loved. it's really poignant to get to know more and more just how much his mother loved him. Even her garden was a gift to him, to show a bit of the places she wanted to take him to. And though it hurts a lot that he was never able to travel with his parents, at least he is finishing what they started by going to Tokushima, the place with that beautiful indigo dyeing tradition. I just feel sorry for him, it's the first time he travels and he already has to deal with a cancelled flight, it's too much stress. And I was hoping he would (re-)dye his sweater too, but well. Oh, and they finally gave the carrier a proper scene, there was no way Haru was going to get inside of it easily again. lol I was hoping Subaru would leave her with Nana, I would trust her way more than a pet hotel, but then again I wouldn't want to impose on her. Hiroto is there to feed her, but even so it looks like she is going to escape in the rain getting lost. The next episode is already the last of this season and it looks like even more feels are coming. I don't want to say goodbye yet. :( |
 |
| This day is the first day of haru and next week this day we have to say bye to haru |
 |
| If anything happens to my baby Haru or my Young Boy Subaru I will be EXTREMELY UNHAPPY! D< Overall another great episode though. |

I was pretty surprised too because that would have been the first person I'd ask instead of spending money for a pet hotel(I actually didn't know those existed, lol!). They kind of missed a golden opportunity there. |

| I’m surprised he didn’t talk to nana about watching haru |
| Agh... Why did I watch the preview for the next episode? Poor Haru, the nerves are already killing me! Also, it's sad this anime has to end, and since there's nothing like it for next season, probably I'll re-watch this a tons of times. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Sad but beautiful episode. Haru is so worried about Subaru all the time. Hopefully he will get home soon. |
| This show is so beautiful. Such an underrated anime., definitely much better than the MAL rating right now. |
  Once we realize it, everything will fall into place Our hearts calling to the future with all their might We'll move forward, holding each other's shaking hands |
| Wow, an episode with almost no Haru at all, but with this episode's ending we may get a little more next week in the finale to see how she reacts to him being gone so long. More good development for Subaru this episode as well. |
| Subaru today realized that everything that his parents did was for him, earlier he wasn't able to realize that because they tragically left him, but from here onwards he will make sure he will do everything for his loved ones. Subaru's parents went on a trip and never returned, Subaru went on a trip and can't return back to Haru.....yet. Haru is going to worry so much and try to find Subaru herself. Please god somehow get our boi Subaru back to Haru before it's too late. |
 |
| I seriously tought Subaru was going to ask Nana to look after Haru. Maybe next time ^^ It sucks when our flight gets canceled like that :( *sees the preview for next episode* Hiroto, why did you forget to look after Haru?? She's freezing from being outside in that cold weather X( |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| In hindsight, maybe not the best episode to watch at work on my lunch break... the feels :'( Of course we have a bit of a cliffhanger leading into the final episode. Hopefully, it all works out in the end. |
| We didn't get a retelling of this episode from Haru's POV. : ( There is a storm. I wonder how Subaru feels now. Next episode is the last. Just the thought alone is painful. |
| Bittersweet, but at least he traveled somewhere. But of course there's a monkey wrench thrown in to the mix in the form a storm... |
       |
| I still feel Subaru and Haru haven't gotten super close and hopefully this next episode will be a good trial for them. |

| Oof, that was an emotional episode, it hit me hard |
| Hey you! Yes you! Have a nice day! And best wishes for your life's journey! |
| I wish I had neighbors as nice as that lady. I always forget to water the garden and things shrivel up more often than not. Should have just asked Nana if she can cat-sit. She's already got 2, so what's one more cat for a couple of days? Another tear-jerker flashback with his parents...always hits me in the feels, like a punch in the gut. |
papsoshea said: This episode just hit me with the emotional sucker punch. Subaru’s mother was bringing home flowers from all their trips as a way to share them with him. She never told him about what she was doing and obviously he never really noticed. Turns out his neighbor had been furtively watering them all these years. She was the one who told him the story behind those flowers. Subaru feels shattered because he was never able to give his mother what she so dearly wanted - a son with whom she could share her love of adventure, and not have to worry about so much. He knows she didn’t love him any less because he was never that son, but somehow that surely makes him feel even worse. Since they could never bring their son to the world, Subaru’s parents did their best to bring the world to their son. That’s the depth of a parent’s love. When he learned of the fact that his mother always made a reservation for three, just in case he could ever be persuaded to come along – that was tough. But he needs to know these things, which his mother never had the chance to share with him. It can be a source of courage to change, just as his own writing is for his readers. I like how his first thoughts of being at the hotel are of Haru and wishing he did bring her along. Haru hasn't been away from Subaru this long before, and her segment just showed how much their relationship has grown. Episode ends on a cliffhanger, but I'm sure we will get that special ending. I fully agree with you! The emotional part of this episode really got me, and the story behind the flowers sure is beautiful! |

| Damn, another sad episode. |

However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Man Subaru's memories of him and his family always make me sad |

You perfectly described why this episode was so incredibly heartbreaking. It's a very good thing Subaru is now realizing all this, as it will definitely contribute to his development. It doesn't make it less sad though... :( |

| Man, each flashback including Subaru's mother is so moving to watch, such a lovely lady indeed. It was a rather melancholic episode since Subaru decided to visit the last place his parents went before dying. It sure was a painful stay for him but I think it can work as a way to finally overcome the guilt he must be feeling for not having spent enough time with them, especially his mother. Nice episode overall. One more to go. |
| I'm always crying when i see all those flashbacks about his parents. One thing i never appreciated enough about this anime - phenomenal voice acting, especially Haru and Subaru. I always thought that talking animals is ridiculous and cringeworthy idea, but all those voice actors who played animals in this show, especially Yamazaki Haruka (Haru), changed my mind. |

| Expected Yugo to apologise the moment I saw Nana at the signing session. But has it been a year already? Maybe just a few months. Subaru can’t come up with a new series. He’s struggling. Finally, Subaru goes on a trip. A trip his parents were about to go to. |
