| That ending left me speechless... He snapped. XD Also the new version of the ED is more disturbing than the previous one. Nakamura broke down all Kasuga's inhibitions through her clever manipulation. She is definitely the most interesting character in the show. |

| The ending was amazing! Kasuga snapped and trashed the classroom with chalks and inks. Man, I did not see that coming lol |
| Cartoons and anime is my reality. |
| So he finally broke thanks to the freaken bitch. The story, execution and direction is nice, its a damn shame this anime was restroscoped |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Damn.... that ending..... and the lyrics fit with it so well too...... How are they going to get out of this?..... |
 |
| That ending was breathtaking. Wow. |
| Then he moved to Tokyo and no one ever saw him again. The end. |

Would never get the emotion on their faces this good without it. Exactly. The rotoscoping is what gives the motion to the subtle movement of the face. Its why the emotions are picked up on without the exaggerated over acting and actions you usually see. |
 |
| This is the kind of foreplay Nakamura was waiting for, letting Kasuga see for himself what he's really like, wants and feels like. Going to be one hell of a morning tomorrow. |
 |
| Absolutely amazing episode! Instead of having a normal life and a relationship with Saeki he decided to go insane together with Nakamura. |
 |
| Last scene was really beautiful. 5/5 |

Going to be one hell of a morning tomorrow. Woah now, to say that Kasuga was actually who Nakamura accused him of is a flat out lie. This is all due to Nakamura own twisted views projected onto Kasuga. It's behavioral confirmation and if Kasuga does continue to act along, it will just be a case of self fulfilling prophecy. Kasuga was manipulated and coerced, period. Not saying he's exactly what Nakamura is saying he is but Kasuga does get a good view due to her involvement. Kasuga then again is getting manipulated pretty easy though. |
|
| The ending left me utterly speechless. Plain Beautiful |
 |
| this one was perfect till the very end! their emotions touched me deeply ....animation was also cool and dynamic. Music also helped them in conveying crazy honest emotions |
 |
| Was a 1/5 episode until the end and then boom. Finally he snaps and shit is going to get real from now! |
| I knew from the beginning that Kasuga is just as fucked up as Nakamura, only he kept all of it inside. They're basically doing everything to not be considered normies. What an unlikable couple xD Vandalism scene at the end was beautifully shot and amazing to watch, not gonna lie. |
  |
| Wow. The whole classroom scene at the end was so beautifully fucked up, I loved it. |
 |
| The animation at the end was so good. If the characters weren't so ugly and the MC wasn't such a pathetic piece of s*** would've been really great. I can tell why they went with this art style, but CGI would've been even better imo for that RL effect. E.g. Ajin/Levius. The dark, production-heavy ambient music is also excellent so far. |
| Well well well guess this is the peak of Aku no Hana.... |
| Kasuga has officially become a deviant.... |
| So Saeki only heard the part where Nakamura said wanna fuck to Kasuga, I wonder if Nakamura set this up... |
| Really though, I still can't understand why Kasuga did this after he told Saeki that he's not hiding something... |

animeguy17 said: This is the dumbest person ever fictionalized. Why is he trying to please this girl? Like she said she was going to leave him alone for good and he called her back. This lowkey might be worse than school days. Well, I guess Kasuga had become dependent on Nakamura |
| Now that I think about it, Nakamura sure like to spout the word 'SEX', maybe she's going to do it soon with Kasuga... |
| I'm not gonna lie, that last scene really gave me goosebumps, holy shit. Best episode so far, guess I'm not getting any sleep before I've finished this. |
| This is where the story really shines. This moment is what Nakamura was looking for, and even if everything she did to get it was wrong on so many levels, Kasuga was smiling freely, bc earlier with Saeki he was happy, sure, but it wasn't this kind of happiness. A real moment without holding back, with someone who knows everything bad about you so there's nothing to hide, nothing that can make it fake. And the fact that to achieve that feeling so much was sacrificed I guess could be the point of it all. Not just that, but the fact that it could end right here and I would be satisfied and it continues regardless and intends to show the consequences of their happiness, is proving the point even further imo. I knew this had to be special. |

| Just rewatched the Classroom scene at the end randomly and yeah, this still is one of my favorite anime scenes of all time and I still love how the cinematography and visuals are for this series. That last scene at the classroom with Kasuga and Nakamura had me fucking immersed in all the madness and the contrast of madness and breakdown with a pleasurable touch from Nakamura's side was unbelievably great. Music was fantastic and disturbing too to fit the chaos so well. I just wish this show got a 2nd season instead of being cancelled, what a shame. |
| That last scene was so good cuz the whole show you feel like your anger is building up because of how bitch made the mc was up until this point then finally BOOM you feel like you've been liberated with him lmao Now he better not go back to acting like a pussy after this cuz it would literally make this whole thing pointless |

| I never thought that I will see an act of vandalism and call it as art. Last scene in the classroom was pure artistry. I loved it. |
| genuinely one of the most beautiful scenes i've ever seen in an anime. this show is proof that different mediums bring so much value to the same story. this scene would not have been even one iota as powerful and unique as it was if it hadn't been rotoscoped, if it hadn't had the harrowing music, if the cinematography wasn't so impeccable... this is a work of master artistry that proves itself on every level. quickly becoming one of my favorite anime. bravo to the whole production team! (it's kind of making me wish that a show in this style could be made for Blood on the Tracks. it would work so well... but i guess the whole concept of Oshimi Shuzo's manga as a rotoscoped anime wouldn't be as impressive the second time around, haha) |
