| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Rinko in this tears this episode D: I don't think it was a good idea for Souta to blame Rinko for the bad cooking. Everyone messes up sometimes. Good thing Rinko has people to care for her. Imo, this was the most emotional and realistic episode yet. Family problems can be tough to deal with. |
 |
| Memories of lost parents and forgotten desires. My goodness, will I ever be able to make it through an episode of this show without crying? |
| Did Poco cause the vision of Souta's and Rinko's parents? He seemed to; his ears and tail grew, and then the entire scene became dreamlike. A second alternative is that the coming of the vision is what caused Poco to change, not the other way around. The final possibility is that it was not a fantastical event at all, just Rinko's imagination going wild. What do you all think? My guess is it was fantastical, and caused by Poco. |

| I thought the last episode was my favorite but this one clearly topped it, Wonderful episode. Very emotional yet very heartwarming. Congratulations to Rinko for becoming a Mom. :D The flashbacks with Rinko and Souta dealing with the death of their mom was really sad. The cooking scene in particular was really poignant. That being said, It's really nice to see how all these events and memories have shaped Souta and Rinko as adults. I'm sure that Souta and Rinko's parents are proud of how well their children grew up. I'm guessing Poco created the whole memory experience, was nice of him to do that. |

| This was such a beautifull episode, Rinko will be a great mom! |

| wow what a beautiful episode. really emotional |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| I just began to ship Shinobu and Rinko T-T dreams were shattered...but I guess it's better that way (would be too much of an ex machina thing, like Shinobu is searching for a wife and Rinko has plans to get divorced) Very emotional episode :( A little bit more of Poco would not have hurt though :3 He's sooo adorable. I will miss this anime once it's finished.... |
| Lovely & Sweet episode. Poor Rinko tried her best to cook back then & now. So emotional losing their Mom. Congrats on being pregnant. You're gonna be a great MOM. Nakajima & Marriage Interviews. Would love to see how that turns out. Festival Next Week. |

I think so, traditionally what can Tanaki do other then shapeshift? I checked a bit of japanese Tanuki mythology, it seems that Tanuki indeed were also known for illusory magic (more to play tricks on people etc.) |
| This can't be just me, but I'm bad with people crying in anime. This episode was certainly not helping. I hope at least by the finale, we see Rinko's husband. GaoGao-chan Episode: If they want a tokusatsu reference, it is clearly Kamen Rider not Ultraman, the vice governor is Agito, after all. |
| I hope we see Rinko's husband and learn what really happened to Souta in that accident. My tears were flowing in this episode T_T |

 Oh boy, please. Poco, don't dead now. LOL So that's the "emotional" part everyone's talking about. And Nakajima realize something about Rinko's acting weird. |

| So Rinko was acting funny because she's going to be a mom. She tried her best to make food, but no one liked it. Souta felt bad about it. Him and Nakajima finding out she's going to be a mom was funny xD There was so many feels in this episode. Especially at the cemetery when Souta and Rinko saw their memories. That must be because of Poco's powers. Losing your parents can be tough. Rinko tried her best to help around. This is my favorite episode so far. It was very heartwarming and emotional. |
 |
| This show. Too good. I love these characters and their interactions. Pretty emotionally charged episode. Rinko is gonna be a mommy and is worried if she's good enough. She tries cooking for this reason but fails big time. Souta says some mean things but then apologizes. And Poco really is that tanuki god or whatever with how he gave the two siblings that flashback. And Souta also saw that he had said that he wants to make udon like papa so maybe he'll pick up the restaurant after all, even though he took that job at Shodoshima. |
| bawled my eyes omfg ahhhh |
| Just when I think this show has thoroughly melted my heart to the greatest extent possible, I see the next episode. brb, going into a feels coma |
| Absolutely beautiful episode! It saddens me that there are only two episodes left, i hope it has a happy ending! |
| Probably, this will be my favorite episode |
| I love Math equations and 2D, so deal with it. |
| aahh... such a touching episodes... it seems poco has some mystic powers |
 |
| loved this episode, it had some touching moments. and this week's gaogao-chan segment was really random lmao |
 |
Is this Clannad? I swear at least 30% of the dialogue this episode was dedicated to Mai Nakahara crying. |
 |
| As heartwarming as that scene at the end was, all it does is raise more questions about Poco, namely because he apparently has the power to show people their memories. Just kinda comes out of left field really, but it makes the final couple of episodes pretty interesting I suppose. |
Atavistic said: ... Just kinda comes out of left field really, but it makes the final couple of episodes pretty interesting I suppose. Well, we knew from the start he was a fantastical creature. We have also seen his language skills grow in almost every episode. So I don't find it surprising that his magic skills might be growing too. |

| That was literally Clannad, i was brought back. Couldn't help by shed tears twice in this episode. 10/10 episode for me. |
| I'm beginning to wonder if Souta's finally going to reopen his father's restaurant. We've been getting hints of that a lot, and this episode we got confirmation that Souta is a good cook. There was also the illusion of their parents and Souta telling his father he wants to become a udon cook like him. Since Rinko told her mother she wants to become a mum too and is finally getting there it would make sense for Souta to fulfill his dream as well. I'm really sad because there's only 2 episodes left and it doesn't seem enough to resolve both the udon situation + Poco's powers and him being a tanuki. :( I wish this anime was longer. Or there should be a second season at least haha. |
| Tender episode ; _ ; |
| Such a beautiful episodes. That was a great emotional ride for me :) shed lots of tears along the way >_< Poco sure is magical. |
| i knew she was gonna say she's pregnant and this episode was really amazing |
 |
| I FREAKING KNEW IT SHE WAS GOING TO SAY THAT It was most emotional episode yet :') BGs in the episode were really beautiful. So I think the show's finally dropping hints on Souta inheriting his father's Udon restaurant now. |
 |
| Oh dear god, and here I thought the previous episode was touching. This episode took it to a whole new level ;__;.... That was just too much and beautiful ;__;.... |
  |
| really good episode... i cried... |
 |
| Man, this show has really picked up in these past two episodes. Not that it was bad until now, but it did feel a bit stagnant after the first few episodes, because the story wasn't progressing much. So I guess Nakajima didn't get married until now because he hasn't gotten over his unrequited love for Rinko. |
| So Rinko is pregnant! Nice surprise, I really hope we see her kid in the future! |
 |
| Rin-ane is already pregnant! Nakajima will do marriage interviews...for me that useless, if you naturally DON'T love a girl, its basically worthless. Aneki's cooking is bad but Souta apologized at the end. is that the hidden power of Poco? reliving the memories of the past?!? 4/5. |
 |
| Rinko X nakaji!! Nakaji got family-zoned XD This episode was probably the best so far. It hit me right there. |
 |
| Really good episode. Rinko announced that she was pregnant to Nakaji, now he can think about other girl. Such a lovely ending, it's was very hard to not cry when Poco used his power |
| Wow this episode was emotional. Rin is so precious. Her husband is a lucky guy. She's going to be such a great mom. |
| Definitely my fav episode so far. I love Rinko so anything with her is a plus in my book. Also that was some Nakaji x Rinko one-sided love there, this show is pretty much in that expect. |
 |
| How could anyone rate this 4 out of 5 ?? TF. I will never skip the intro even the ending, there's only 2 episodes left and I don't want this series to end T_T I wish it has 24 episodes. |
 |
| Rin is pregnant! I bet that sunk any Nakaji x Rin fantasy ships people had. Poco-chan gives me baby fever too so I don't doubt Rin wanting to become a mom after spending time with him. |
| 臭い- |
| Lmao at the driving cat |
| What a totally lovely episode, the moment she hesitated that he smoked a cigarette it was pretty clear to me she was pregnant. But boy that ending was just bittersweet but oh so great! Looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| Emotional episode, It worked pretty well. |
