| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ryuu comes through again and uses the famous cocktail Margarita to show that a life full of regrets can still have plenty of meaning and accomplishments. An episode that probably speaks more to the older fans in the audience. |

| hmmm, good and sad episode, my favorite so far. i had never heard that story of the meaning of margarita too, it was pretty interesting. |
 |
| The series are really great, and I agree that this ep was the best... |
    My Dragons ^_^  : dead_dreaming |
| Very heartwarming. |
 |
| I liked this episode a lot, it was nice, a bit sad and touching :) Nice to see how he learned to live with his decision in the end :) |
| Great episode. |

| The atmosphere in this episode was superb. This series is something else |
 |
| That was a wonderful episode. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| "My regrets have made me what I am..." Such a great line. You're never to old to learn, change, make peace with the past and move forward... |

| This episode was very touching. Too bad that the man was too afraid to face reality back then, but at the end it all became very meaningful. |
| Overall I really liked the story! Though the way they bring in the girl from the first episode to explain and expand the story is very odd. She is a character and narrator. I thought it was rather out of place that they animated the billboards coming to life like that. They could have just used street lights to illuminate his path. |
| I didn't enjoy this one as much. |
| Hmm, alright episode this time. A bit confusing. Wonder if it will keep the same style all the way till episode 11. |
 |
| Beautiful, just beautiful. |
 |
| Not quite as good as the previous episodes imo, but it's still amazing :3 I get the feeling I would enjoy this episode more if I was older. Still, it was nice :) 4.75/5 |
| What a nice episode! Really impressive how this anime develops and while focused around alcoholic beverages still manages to fit and make it totally awesome! |
 |
| "My regrets have made me what I am..."- What an amazing line :´) This show has been poetically beautiful so far. 9/10 Love these stories filled with emotions. I find it very interesting how the creators executed this in a way that anyone could profoundly care for a new character every single episode (at least so far)... Great anime :) |

Darselo said: "My regrets have made me what I am..." Such a great line. You're never to old to learn, change, make peace with the past and move forward... And the line before it as well, "a past of regrets isn't meaningless at all." These two lines resonate with all of us, and I like how regret isn't portrayed as something negative. I'm really surprised at how quickly this episode seemed to have gone by, by the time Shimaoka was about the leave the bar, it was at least 2/3 of the way through, yet it didn't feel that long. Again, I praise the show for creating such a nice tone to the episodes, that despite the content and flow being slow, it still ends up being engaging. The story behind Margarita was really interesting. Haneken2086 said: The Disney film UP did the "old guy mourning for lost love" angle better, because that film had them be married and have them enjoy their life together; they had a dream that they didn't fulfil, but that was because they were doing other stuff together and had no regrets. Here, it doesn't really work out because the old guy, Shimaoka, had no real reason to be separated from his love Mieko; he could have married her and still run the company and go on the theatre. I think the two are quite different to be compared. There's also a lot of praise (whether by critics or layman) for the beginning segment of Up, so it's kind of unfair in a way to compare the two. As for Shimaoka separating from Mieko, what I took from it was that he was envious of Mieko's success that he couldn't deal with the fact that he wasn't as skilled or made for the theater as she was. I can see that being painful, both of them having the same dream and wanting to do it together, yet only one of them succeeding. It was likely that their dream would never come true, so he went for the path of reality, one that would lead him to success in life. They could have married, but it wouldn't be the same. |
| What a lame man, he didn't go to see her acting. |
 |
| Awwhhh, the Margarita story was so romantic :') and it's one of my fave drinks, too! ^-^ |
| UUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH |
 |
on 
| Still a bit of a drag but very much the best out of the three so far. I think this is a good resonating episode for older individuals. Reconciling before it's too late is something so many of us don't do and being miserable for it cause heart ache. Not gonna lie, kinda made me want a Margarita after this, despite me despising vodka. |
 |
| I liked this episode much more than the previous two. The story was very sad, but relatable. We, humans, are very foolish and proud creatures. We always think that we still have time until it's too late, and then we live in misery & regret. I'm glad that he made peace with his choices eventually, though. |
 |
| Beautiful episode! Very heart warming! I'm hooked in the OP and ending |
| I like this episode a bit more than the last, still not outstanding to me, but at least it had a nice story and I didn't feel like I was watching a commercial for a brand like last episode. |
   |
| Wow, this episode had actual animation for once, color me impressed XD The dramatization of the girlfriend getting shot was corny as hell, but overall this episode - oddly enough - reminded me of a play, especially with the man getting out of the cab, leaving the book behind only for it to be picked up by the girl, who continues the monologue/story. It's an interesting storytelling device, but I do wish the show made more use of silence, music and movement, instead of constantly dumping exposition. But really, ignoring the tickets for 50 years and realizing that maybe he should've gone see her/the play only after she's dead? That's some soap opera level drama right there. |
| Another episode with a story of regret. Do all the previous characters from the last episodes guest star in the next ones? |
 |
| So touching. And the soundtrack is so amazing! Idk if it's just me but I like the episodes so far. |

| I was momentarily impressed that the advertiser called out the bartender's Origin of the Margarita tale as the bullshit it is. But then the episode doubled down on it... |
 |
| So heartwarming, I love this series more and more. |
| Another great episode on making peace with the past and moving forward. Not going to the play for 20 years and suddenly hearing that she died must be sad but at least they lived their own lives. |
 |
| 3rd episode, also watched at anime society. p good episode I must say. I like how the man's regrets got the most of him, so he didn't really go and do stuff that would have otherwise made his life happier, thus the current state. The whole using Margarita as a means to show love lives on is quite a clever fit honestly, dude knows how to serve his customer with exactly the right stuff. |
| This episode is quite sentimental and the story is quite tolerable on this one but it's hard for me to get attach to it. |
| Another great episode. regarding the origin story of Margarita; that story by John Durlesser is just one of them. It just so happens to fit the situation of the chap for today's episode. Anyway, if this anime did not have a remake and no one talked about it, it would be regrettable if I did not watch it. This anime is good, even though it's boring for some. Except yesterday, I'll go an episode per night. This should not be binged. |
| What a sad backstory for the Margarita... stage play, love and regrets... that's a genuine combination |
 |
| not a bad episode overall, but it was too dramatic |
| enough drama for me , sayonara bartender! |
