Wow to think it would be. Nice find. De-JaY said: slayer545-sama said: Heidelberg???? Really? I did not think it was. So it is? Wow to think it would be. Nice find.

| Another posible confirmation of Yuuko´s death is the end of episode 9 where Mizuki tells Yu that she should have brought the flower for Yuuko on 25th |
 |
| That car must have been FLYING if it hit her without her seeing it coming. In which case she should have been more mangled. Look right and left before retrieving random balls on the street! But based on previous posts, it sucks the anime wasn't like the game with respect to how she died. That would have made this episode horribly sad, thus so much better. And does Yuu design/build the matching town in Australia as the perfect town? |
| its so cool to find out how they are all connected. and Mizuki still has the same style in her hair that Kuze did for her when she was small I really want to see the next episode For me this was like the best episode so far, but really sad!! |

Raith said: why do the people when they hear a car behind them nevver jump to the side? Uhm... because of the shock? |
| Wow, amazing episode sad though, will be missed |
 |
| Great episode, it was really well directed and written, and a consistent following up to the later episode which finished in the church with Mizuki and Yuu (that's why the apparition of little Miki was pretty obvious and quite well placed too). On the other hand, I expected something more original for Yuuko's accident, since it's basically a KimiNozo rip off. Still an excellent episode overall, I love flashbacks (especially in black and white), so I guess I'm pleased now ;) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
The whole coloring of the episode right away made me think decay and the word die featured twice also told me about decay in my mind which in turn meant someone would die/suffer. I did not know and refused to believe such until that bad scene. Die Bart, Die! |

| why is it in every romance drama a girl gets hit by a car and the driver keeps driving? Cant they come up with something else or spice it up a bit? After seeing the part with Mizuki seeing Kuze it brought back my hatred for how they're in love with each other. She's way to young to hook up with him. Also looks like the Yuuko we've been seeing pop up in present day has been an angle or a ghost. |

Ya basically the randomness of how she died kinda ruined how sad I would've been and instead I was like ...LOL WTF. It looked like the writers just needed a way for her to die so they said, "Hey! Car crashes occur often so let's just have her get hit by a car!" It was really kind of dumb... Anyway this was a pretty good episode. |
| All the mods fucking blow on this website except Kaiserpingvin, Cloudy-Sky, Baman and aero. PM me if you're actually good and I left you out. Oh, rule 8... (￣ー￣) |
| OH MY GOD WTF NO NO NO NO NO WHAT IS THIS, WHAAT THE HELL IS THIS. Oh hell no. I didn't see this coming! I didn't even process in my mind about Yuuko's "current" state in the present world, why she could magically appear and what not, I assumed her to be some sort of angel/god/spirit but I didn't even think about...how it would ever lead to this, well in a way I did but, dying? Oh NOEZ. After all this stuff she's had to overcome, damn it -__-' I think the death was a little too...maybe plain, but I mean, it still hit me. The car just drove off, asses. Who do they think they are. Her singing was beautifully a dramtical horrible moment T___T! (Reads the above post) Wait SHAFT changed it? Oh great, I would read the spoiler but I don't want to spoil myself to future episodes. I liked how Mituski met them though, cute patooty. Yuuko I love you'z <3 |
 |
| It was sad but.......it was predictable. A ball on the road, oh lets go and pick it up. Funny how I remembered a similar scene in Kanon 06 and it was far more well executed me thinks :/ Still, Yuuko my only character ;___; |
 |
| Guess they didn't have cellphones back then. Sorry, just trying to lighten up the gloomy atmosphere. =/ |

EusthEnoptEron said: I agree, this was pretty... random? It didn't touch me at all. Only as the music faded in I got some chills. And also you see it happen, then in the next scene there's Nagi, Yuu and Miki smiling and talking and all? Seemed to be an atmosphere killer to me. Sadly enough I have to agree. The scene was just too pathethic for me. Yandere said: ... However! I did think it was odd that Yu was just carrying her, instead of running to a hospital with her, but who knows. Therefore I also think she already died. Otherwise he would not walk so slowly. PimpToad said: Mayrika said: Thats it! That would have been way more intense imo. They really screwed up that part! ;( |
 |
| Yuuki... Wow, that was a powerful episode. I'm like, tearing now, and I'm not the kind of person to cry at animes :P. I think that the info posted in Mayrika's spoiler would be too hard on the viewer, I know that it would be for me. |

| No! Yuuko! Don't die! D: Okay, I kind of figured she'd die. Whenever she would appear in the first season or whenever she appeared in 'present day' this season, I always thought she didn't seem alive. She seemed like a ghost or something of the sort. Plus, there must've been a reason she wasn't with Himura. But...a car accident?! THAT was how she dies? -___- That's just pathetic! I expected her death to be a bit more...meaningful somehow. Instead, it just a petty car accident :/ It was still sad though, I just wish it was different. |
| OMG, I just recently watched the whole series, I was amazed how it was connected to the first season and at the same time got a bit depressed, because the story was so sad and on the other hand it was a great anime masterpiece. I would give this a 10/10. Is there an english version of this game and on what platform? Is there a PC version? kindly send me a PM if it's ok =D I nearly cried on ep 10 LOL |
| Oh god. T_T I didn't really expect this. I'm a bit disappointed though because I didn't cry. That's not the ef I know. Ah damn it all! |

| I got a hunch that this would happen. First of all, I didn't see her actual appearance as a "live" person on the first season. Anyway, the overall execution is great. I'm really moved. By the way, I did notice that all of the characters here are linked together even in the past. |
     |
| Sad episode T_T But it wasn't as intense as some scenes of the first season though =/ Could have been done better... btw: I was very surprised to see Pictures of my Hometown Heidelberg popping out of nowhere o.O They even included a picture of the S-Bahn Station Heidelberg-Pfaffengrund-Wieblingen, wtf.... xD maybe Kuze went to Heidelberg? xD His music would fit this city perfectly ^_^ |

| this just bumped up my score for this series. so touching. just incredible, to me this season was lacking in comparison to the previous one but these two episodes, especially this one, redeemed it full force. |
| omg ... Yuuko ... noooooo ><, can't believe it was as simple as that for Yuuko to ... *sigh* now what will happen with the story D: |

| Cars are indispensable eh? Grab 1 or 2 and knock it into Chihiro and Yuuko. How did Yuuko end up beside the tree? Did the impact made Yuuko flew there? |
 |
| Baka, baka, baka, baka! Sheesh, I knew Yuuko will die. It was almost obvious that in "present" she's kind of an angel or something. But come on - car accident? On Christmas? It's the stupidiest death ever. Living through everything she experienced and being killed by a car... I'm speechless... And coming back to the tune Kuze played - sorry I didn't read the whole thread - wasn't it the same song he played for Yuu and Yuuko? The one that Yuuko wrote lyrics to? |

Bladecatcher said: I didn't care for the sepia tone. I was kind of hoping they wouldn't go for the generic car crash death. Yep, when i heard the car, was just thinking "ugh" Actually, has anyone ever seen a car in that town before in the entire series so far? i don't think i have... but in any case, shes dead *sadface* |
 |
| Saddest episode of any Anime I have seen; words cannot express the despair I am left in right now, not even Nozomu sensei can do it. |

| =D A Heart Warming Episode Indeed. |
 |
| Man this is to much i need to walk away and watch the rest later i think |
| I accidently took this one as the second episode but I only realized it after the episode was over ; ( |

| This was one of the saddest episodes ever. I cried few times... |
| very sad i watch this a day after x-mas. damm it driver ???? |
dagomir said: Living through everything she experienced and being killed by a car... I'm speechless... omg, i cried. when everything started to lay, Yuuko was happy and she managed another person happyeverything has been destroyed by such an unfortunate incident because of the ball reminiscent her of childhood memories. and this epic, beautifull music, the moments, graphics. miki = mizuki, huh? kuze didn't remember her in future or what?. AWESOME EPISODE |
| Lmfao its funny cuz i didn't even notice it was black and white (or muted color) untill you guys mentioned it xD Yeah it was really sad how she died. But i think that its saying that these things just happen without warning and one minute you have dreams and things to look forward to and the next, all those things disappear. |
| I just re watched this episode in the color version, and I was quite surprised how... colorful it was. There is some part of me that loves the way it was aired, probably because it had such a huge impact that I can't let that experience go. I still loved watching it in color though. <3 |

May all cars and their drivers go to hell. Amen. For some reason, i'm so shocked that I can't even cry. But seriously..after all she went through, THIS is what killed her? And how much can a person take? Surprising Himura hasn't been sent to the lunatic asylum yet. I'm hating this. I want happy ending. NOT THIS. |
 |
| NONONO. I didnt NOT know this would happen. My beloved thoughts of Yuu and Yuuko reuniting are shattered. This is the saddest thing in an anime I have EVER witnessed, no lie. This is breaking my heart man. On to other things... Ohhh, so that's what Yuu mouthed in the last episode, "You're Miki." So, everyone is connected, right? And you know how Mizuki is so cheerful all the time? That's from Yuuko, because Yuuko told her to never cry, and always smile. I mean, seriously, that breaks my heart more because you're wondering... does Mizuki have some tragic pass? Hell yes she does... I mean, her life is very messed up and I feel horrible for her :( |
