I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO NOTHING BUT A PILE OF WIBBLY WOBBLY FEELINGS! That’s what this show does to me! Every week, I either am crying or melting all over my floor from cuteness and then crying again because I know there is no happy ending!
Nothing significant even happened this episode and I spent half of it going “Awwwweee” or “OMG SO CUTE”, this episode worked to one of the strength’s in this show. It’s ability to make you feel, not sadness this time but a warm happiness of knowing that these two are perfectly happy together. Even the two slightly comedic scenes where all they could see was each other didn’t feel as jarring as the comedy in some of the other episodes.
In particular, I liked the second one where they’re sitting at their desks in the office and the sparkles start to surround them and it cuts to one of the other workers being like “I wish you wouldn’t forget that I’m still here.”
I was also fond of the scene of them shopping, this time, without the painful comedy of Isla ripping the clothing and having to buy them. Getting matching pajma’s, or just buying for her something that she’d never owned before. I think that’s special.
The moment that really killed me though was the ending when you look at the last thing Isla writes in her diary in the episode. “I want to spend another day like this with Tsukasa.”, with two episodes left and her death pending. I just…I CAN’T, I can’t even! It’s like reading the ending of a book first and knowing someone is going to die, reading the book and that person you know is going to die is your favorite character anyway. You can’t stop yourself from feeling from them and wanting them to be happy despite knowing the ending!
It’s like waiting for the train to crash! Every time she blushes, they hold hands and look at each other. Every moment they talk about how just living life as usual with the one you love makes you the happiest. I don’t want it to end! I don’t want Tsukasa to have to face that! I want them to be able to sit at that table and make all kinds of childish foods together.
I am not ready for the feelings these next two episodes are bound to bring. I’m not ready to see them get torn apart by the inevitable of her breaking down at her retrieval time! I’m not ready to watch Tsukasa have to go on smiling because he’s sad! The world part of all this is no matter how happy things get, you can’t forget what’s coming.
I did enjoy this episode, a lot actually. I melted all over the floor going “OMG, THEY’RE SO CUTE.”, I actually almost started crying again when they held hands by the water. Questioning, how many people were just happy living their usual lives.
While nothing really happened, this has to be maybe one of my favorite episode since they ruined the ending of the Carnival episode. This one had no disappointing after credits scene, it was merely just adorable fluff and that’s all i’ve wanted before we get to the heart wrenching drama. The only way this episode could of been perfect is if they’d kissed.
OH GOD, I JUST HAD, THE MOST HEART WRENCHING IMAGE OF TSUKASA KISSING HER. JUST AS SHE’S PUT DOWN TO HAVE HER MEMORIES WIPED. PLEASE, OH GOD, PLEASE DON’T GO THAT DIRECTION SERIES. I ACTUALLY, DON’T THINK MY HEART COULD HANDLE THAT. I’M TEARING UP AT THE MERE IDEA. Who’s ready to have their heart broken!? Not me said the little reviewer…not me.

WHY DID YOU PUT THAT IMAGE INTO MY HEAD MIDNIGHT ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡ MY HEART CANNOT HANDLE THAT MUCH FEELS
I read on FB a review by someone who posted a 4 min clip from one of the recent episodes and said they weren’t enjoying the series. Characters were bland, plot was predictable, etc. And all I could do was think of your reviews Midnight, and wonder if you two were watching the same series. ;~;
O_o I wonder if we are, I mean, I guess to each their own but I’ve never viewed any of the characters as bland [maybe compared them to Evangelion characters a lot, but not bland.] and I honestly can’t tell you where the plot is going, it’s either going to end with her going past her time and getting shot down by R. Security right as Tsukasa bids her goodbye, OR she’ll go down quietly and Tsukasa will kiss her as she does…or…gah so many possibilities xD lol. but honestly, that’s their opinion i guess ^^
