Just watched the episode with Coalguys subs. Definitely a 10 from me.
It's been mentioned by everyone, but Minori's focus on keeping busy comes about because she's running away from the truth. Rather than believing in ghosts (love) that she cannot see, she would rather keep the things she can see (friendship with Taiga), and devote her efforts on tangible things (work). Ami's incisiveness is, once again, impressive. While Minori was spouting all kinds of metaphors, Ami stole the thunder with just one line - "You want to say that if I just watch and don't interfere, everything will turn out fine, right?" On a side note, I sometimes speak with obscure metaphors like Minori did. The point of it, imo, isn't in letting the other person know what you're talking about, but more of deriving satisfaction from how you've left clues for the other person, even if they never understood it. It's sort of shifting the blame from you having not told the other person, to him/her not figuring out what you've said. The last 5 minutes of the episode where Taiga appeared at the doorstep of the Takasu residence was beautifully crafted. It was as though the atmosphere and dynamics of the show had returned to the way the previous episodes were. It had the same feel as the scene in the villa with the dimmed lights, with Taiga commenting that with just her and Ryuuji in the room, it felt as though they were back in the apartment even though they were in a huge room. Ryuuji turned back to normal with Taiga around, rather than his broody self earlier in the episode. It was as if I was watching ToraDora! again (not that the earlier half wasn't ToraDora, but it felt different). Best quote of the episode (for how I LOLed): Whatever, talking to you feels like having a period - Ami |

(what the hell? ?) Back to the discussion and Ami's witty quips: I'm really going to have to listen to the dialog closely when I get a chance to watch the sub and see if Ami really said anything remotely like that. Though it is a great line....

In other news, Ami is the most delicious bitch I've ever come across in anime. "Talking to you is like being on my period?" Ooooh, hurt me baby, please~! <3

lol, Amy had some awesome stuff to say in this episode... XD
"Now that the kid is at home, daddy can do whatever he wants..." "Don't go near me. Stupidity is contagious." "Talking to you is like having a period..." XDXD I really liked the fight between them. Also, Minori kept going back to the ghost and "seeing" things over and over again... I was able to follow it, but I think the conversation between the two was a little "high" for normal viewers. So, in simple words, Minori is scared of love because it's the first time she's feeling it. Well, as we know this "freaky-crazy" girl, she can just enter the class and kiss Ryuuji infront of everyone! ...But as we know anime and novels, it wont happen. >,> |

I find it ironic that I've written more about this episode than the previous one, which is arguably the climax of the series. Nevertheless, this episode is quite revelatory, especially regarding Minori's perceptions in life and Ami's as well.

AM I the only one who got a "Honey and Clover" vibe from the ramen shop owner? The way those guys were glowing over the guy's "Attack" was pretty reminiscent of the ones from those teachers fawning over Takemoto's "Spirit of youth".

Dammit I was expecting Ryuuji to man it up and admit it was him who carried her up that snowy hill and who heard her confessed delirium.
Anyway a not so action-packed episode, most likely as it seems a bridging episode to the last 3.

But... she isn't scared of love because it's the fist time... is scared of ruin her dreams and her friendship. As we saw, she is ok with her decision about follow her future and see Ryuuji and Taiga happy. Congatulations Minori... you are one terrific woman.

At the end of this ep, I thought maybe Ami should be finally clearer to Ryuji and present him with a pair of big plastic balls (sorta "after x-mas present-o). So he can attach them and finally show some development/get rid of his dullness. Btw, if Ryuji is the father and Minorin the mother, then Ami is the "oh so witty" & cynical granny. I agree and somehow get the feeling, that Ryuji's overcoming of his own dullness, will represent the final conclusion (otherwise we would have seen this sorta development way earlier in the series). |
