Sometimes it is difficult to say if our past choice were foolish or right, but either way, we have to move on from them at some point in our lives.

It is currently uncertain if this episode is the final one of the season or if there will indeed be 17 episodes. Some rumors says that the show will end at 12 episodes and the next 5 episodes will be ONA. I really hope that this won’t happen and that this show will have 17 full legit episodes as previously announced. It is so rich and good in emotions that I don’t want to see it end just yet. If I had to make a guess I would say that we should see a 13th episode next week, but I cannot guarantee anything.
One thing that makes me think they will still air is that they used a different Opening this week to match last week new ending. I sure hope this is not the first and last time we hear that opening, I have to memorize it by heart.
How cute was it to see that Iori reverted back to being a baby right when the episode starts? I just love hearing the constant screams of a newborn repeatedly assaulting my ears. At least I was not present to smell the putrid odor of the by-products of this little Iori. It’s not that I hate babies, they are just so much trouble and responsibilities that I’d rather avoid them when unnecessary, even those in Anime.
This time around, it seems like the baby was not the major issue. Instead the story focused on the oldest couple of the show, Yui and Aoki. Those two had been living quite the troublesome life since the whole reverse aging process started. Yui had to deal with an old friend of hers and her past self while Aoki remembered his past love and wondered if the one he had now was real. I must admit that now that I see how Aoki his, how he acts. I just don’t care about that guy, I can’t seem to relate to him in any way. He looks intelligent, he is cute and forward when he needs to, but overall his care free attitude is just too far from who I am and who I hang out with. I can’t find myself liking this guy, not that I hate him either, but he just seems unreal to me.
On the other hand, Yui is an incredible character. She was a really strong-willed women, afraid of nothing and determined to win every challenge thrown at her, but she lost her self-confidence after she was nearly raped. She was so traumatized by the event that she forgot herself. She lost, for the first time she did lost and she was too afraid to stand up on her own anymore. But now she is back to her fighting spirit and I must admit that I love this Yui much more than the previous one. Sometimes I feel that girl don’t always realize that self-confidence make them so pretty. I always felt that the sexiest girl were not those with the best shape, but those with the best self-esteem.

This episode reminds me so much much of episode 5 – that one episode that successfully tear me up. I will admit, this episode did tear me up – I love how the both of them, Aoki and Yui are able to successfully handle their respective issues. The whole process of getting there is what appeals to me and the resolution was well done. Also, Iori manages to bring out that parental instinct within me and it surprises me that I actually had one – not really but a surprise still. I give this episode high praises.
