and whats with the lady in the wheelchair...is that like..his future or what he was at in the past or wtf? i dunno!!

i think the person in the wheelchair is the real Shima.

[Klashikari]

Well, to summary a bit:

Spoiler for about shima being a cat, not really spoilerish:

The real Shima died (presumbly the reason why he was hospitalized from the beginning). For the reason what Shima told to Misae before, the real Shima wanted to grants a wish to Misae and asked his cat to do so.
It is heavily implied that the light itself permits the cat to impersonate Shima Katsuki himself, which is the reason how he could appear.

However, this is after all, some borrowed time, hence once Misae's wish is granted, it wouldn't be able to keep this appearance.

Nothing against Misae as a character, but the whole idea that the boy is a cat kills any emotional impact this arc could have possibly had for me.

Not really as seen with the background on the story it isn't as simple as that. Plus with the background of the story and the situation it makes it more emotional because he is not human.

As for too much suprnatural it is KEY what the hell do you except. I have someone who tells me therei s not enough of it in Clannad as say Kanon. Then there is too much >.> yeah there are 3 arcs with it out of like 13. If it was all supernatural it would be an over kill but it isn't it is done right.

Well, it's simply an awesome story, and it also show the moe-ness of Misae.

Usual girl would cry if she know something happened like that, she didn't, it also show that Misae isn't like an usual crybaby.

[typhonsentra]

How sad for Misae. I hope things end up well for her in this series.

[Phoenix_Cypher_K1]

I enjoyed this episode. It was very touching. I nearly teared up at the festival scenes too.

I definitely enjoyed how the anime portrayed Misae's route.

[CCLemon]

Where was Shima staying during all those days that he visited Misae? Even if he was a cat, it's still pretty hard to not have a home and not notice it. Reminds me of Ayu...

[brocko]

I guess that's where the suspension of disbelief comes into play. And plus he is supernatural afterall, so you could probably come up with all kinds of kooky explanations and what nots.

[zzeroparticle]

Well, I'm fairly satisfied as to how this arc wrapped up. At first, I wasn't sure if they would be able to throw out the heavy emotional impact since half of the episode was just building up the relationship. However, they managed to execute it competently by the very end and it did touch my heartstrings just enough to make me feel pretty good.

[Maksst]

I really like it. It made me a littke cry, whem Misae kissed "Shima"... aww ;3

[Lost-Wisdom]

Loved all of it, it was obvious how the cat was going to be a main point in this episode, you could see the hints from the last episode that it had to do something about the cat.

Misae got a good ending for her arc, although short. Just great in my opinion.

[Tiran86]

Makoto's arc from Kanon 06 was much better imho. This arc just made me laugh at the end. Still a good episode. I'll give it an 8/10 cause its as enjoyable as the series usually is.

[grey_moon]

This arc was one of the saddest things I've seen in a while *sniffle*

[konstargirl]

I almost cry when that boy Shima-kun or whatever was crying because he really liked her. :3

10/10 lol

[Nochgo]

Ugh, such an awesome arc, finished in mere two episodes, but I guess brevity made it that much more better. It finally felt like kyoani was in full gear, though I'm not saying I was dissatisfied with previous episodes. Let's see if this episode can break 60% for perfect rating ^^

The supernatural part didn't really bother me at all, after all, we had that for a longer time with Fuuko. But what did surprise me was the fact that yoshino was a student when ibuki was a teacher... Do we know how old the two of them are? (sorry if it was posted before; I'm writing my comment before looking at the thread)

The moment of win for this episode was Shima's crossdressing scene (and this coming from something who don't like genderblending). "What... kind of relationship do you guys have?"

Spoiler:

cat

He is a cat to begin with, taking the form of his current master in able to fulfill his master's wish. Apparently, he said that it's their promise.

and whats with the lady in the wheelchair...is that like..his future or what he was at in the past or wtf? i dunno!!

that's actually a guy
Katsuki Shima (in the wheelchair) and his cat.




Misae's arc is beautiful, definitely the saddest episode yet. Somehow i'm worried if Fuuko will suffer the same if ever KyoAni alotted a spot for her this season. He reminded me of Fuuko when she- i mean "he" was wearing a girls uniform then suddenly Ibuki-sensei appeared next to him. Yoshino is there too.. wow the teacher-student couple eh?

it was kind of sad that Yuki and Saki didn't tell Misae about their visit at Shima's house, or did they really not believe what his mother said to them. They did chase after Shima so they probably didn't get the chance to know more, then just thought that it was some kind of a bad argument between mother and son.

[KholdStare]

I don't talk here much, but I just have to say that I loved this episode. 9.4/10 rounded up to a 10

[C.A.]

Traps = win.

Plus the way it beautifully played out, this episode gets a 10 for me.

But, my face would really be swollen nowadays reading the internet, if I actually facepalmed myself. People really have to stop their talking on the phone, eating or playing handhelds while watching anime. I'm really not sure how people can miss out details or the just the story itself.

[Hiria]

I love this episode. It made me cry.
and misae and shima's story is sooo touching.
