A low Ayu scene and "uguu" count, but nevertheless it progressed her arc some. Really sad scene there.
It was nice to have progression of Mai and Makoto's arc here too.
Shiori is being mysterious as ever in this episode. Animation really excels in her scenes imo. I guess it's because of the snow.
So, there's professionally made fakes of the real episode in circulation? Wow. That's a hardcore way to count down on distribution. So what do they look like? How can you tell that they are fakes?
