@Flower, yeah, the "bird" moment seemed pretty absurd to me (and its hard to be absurd in a thousand year epic of reincarnation and time loops) but the extended history lesson flashback was powerful and the scene as mom and daughter headed to the beach and afterward at the end.. .well, it may have missed its mark but it was an amazing mark imo.
As for the present,
Ikoku Meiro
Usagi Drop
Hanasaku Iroha.
I'm watching all 3 .... and will venture a guess that I'll find Ikoku and Usagi rewatchable, especially if I'm airing it for someone else to watch together. Not so much Hanasaku (though its no knock against it) ... it just seems more soap opera-ish to me and less memorable though I enjoyed it a lot.
