| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, this was a great episode, what did you people think of it? Wow, I can't wait for the next episode, it kinda was a cliffhanger at the end >_< |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| Ehhh? It's out? |
| I don't see the subbed anywhere! D: |
   |
| well in animesuki it's the 10 i like this episode poor tachibana remembering sad things XD and i insist ono and chikage need to be together Ooo i hope antique ends good or maybe we can expect a second season? |
| Life is bittersweet can you live with that? |
| go to ggkths.org, but its an .mkv so if you don't have a fast computer be prepared to close some programs. With that said, I'm really amazed by the quality and care given to the characters and storyline. This is such a good, solid series that anyone should watch regardless of hesitations regarding the genre. |
| Ok! Now that the sub is out I can talk about it. Whatever happened in Tachibana's past is the reason he went anti-gay? :O Is it his father that kidnapped him? |

PandaPuff said: Whatever happened in Tachibana's past is the reason he went anti-gay? :O Is it his father that kidnapped him? If you look carefully, the kidnapper appears to be raping or touching him in a weird way(he's REALLY REALLY close) and before he remembers being cruel to Ono again. I missed it in the raw because I wasn't thinking, but the two match up painfully well. Ouch. On second thought, it could have been something as simple as the kidnapper hugging or touching him too much (not necessarily in a sexual way) that made Tachibana so homophobic when he was younger. However, from what he remembers in that few seconds, I'm leaning towards my first guess. It's so blurry and quick you can't tell what's going on, but it definitely is something traumatic. And I don't think it was his father, because how could you kidnap your own son in your home? The guy in the episode who was petting Atsushi(the dead kid) is obviously the kidnapper who got Tachibana. Disturbingly, (as a friend pointed out to me an ep or two back), Tachibana looks exactly like the kidnapper with his long hair and beard, and it kinda freaks me out that the image stuck in his head so long. |

the tension really went up a lot this episode... can't wait for the next episode. But I also enjoyed the comedy a lot. especially the "so what's your sister up to now" - "oh, she's getting married soon" - *death* - scene |
SlaughterChichi said: And I don't think it was his father, because how could you kidnap your own son in your home? Josef Fritzl managed something rather similar. Most of me, (99%), thinks it is the guy we see who still refuses to believe his son is dead after 20 years. That would explain why all the victims are little boys, why there was no ransom demand, we saw the wife buying the cakes which were then found in the victims stomachs. There's still a little part of me wondering if that concusion is a little too easy. Even if there are only 2 episodes left to go, anime/manga sometimes has a habit of suddenly going 'oh, btw you guys, it actually happened like this...' It makes most of us go 'buh? 0__0' but still manages to make perfect sense. AB could suddenly jump out and say 'btw you guys, that guy is actually his real father and it happened like this ...' I get that it probably won't, I hope that's understood. But I still wouldn't be surprised if it were that guy, though, and for the reasons that have been put forward. I'm probably being tricked into somewhat wondering if it's too obvious. ^^; Anyone else wondering what he said. At first I thought it may be something like 'I am your father' (whether that was the actual truth or not concerning his severe disillusions). Now I'm thinking it could be anything. Maybe something along more disturbing lines like 'I love you' (maybe as a son, but probably not if we've had hinted sexual assault). I feel sorry for the poor wife, myself. When I saw him raise the knife to her, I wanted her to get the hell out and leave him. But I can also get that she's scared to do that. Not only because of what can happen in an abusive relationship if that is the case, (cut off from her friends and family, made to think she can't manage without him, that he'll come and get her, etc). Also, if she's been around for the kidnappings, that would also explain why she's afraid to go to anyone because she thinks she'll be in big trouble too. Poor dear. :( |

| ROFL I loved Tachibana's expression when he found that Nagako was getting married... it was pure win. xP |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Rhubarb jam! |

I missed it in the raw because I wasn't thinking, but the two match up painfully well. Ouch. I wasn't really paying enough attention to notice this, but you could definitely be onto something :\ I'm probably gonna finish this series in the next hour, so my hypothesis is that the guy with the dead son had his son kidnapped by some random third party - the actual criminal. For him to be the kidnapper just seems too simple. xD |

| nice nice |
| . |
| haha tachibana was so funny in this chapter XD. wow finally everything is getting to know!! i hope that woman can save her please T-T, he has to stop kidnapping children and killing them please send him to a mental institution right now ¬¬ |
 |
| Wow! This episode was just Wow...even though there was some sucky animation in there. Two eps left. Can't wait for the conclusion! |
 |
| The whole thing is just really sad - especially because you know there are children out there right now who have been kidnapped and are afraid and alone. I really wanna have clarification whether or not he was actually sexually molested by the kidnapper. Crazy cake face seemed more obsessive with the 'father' role - but I guess the lines blur. |
| Interesting development actually, I'm still surprised that Wakamoto Norio is in this anime! |
 |
| He never said people have rhubarb and custard though lol. I didn't know it was so rare in Japan lol. So Tachibana stabbed the guy to get away and opened the shop to catch him which obviously worked only his wife is buying the cake. So the guys son died twenty years ago but he pretends he's still alive and gets cake for him and kidnaps kids. Okay. |
