| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yet another great episode... Orihara finally opened her heart to Henmi and I'm hoping for the best... One more episode to go :-( I dont want this anime to end ! |
| I don't know, this just isn't working for me. I'm getting emotional, and that's pretty easy for me, but I'm not really connecting to this. |

Maybe it's because Henmi is so dull, or because Kaoru barely seems like the same character, or because it's just a bunch of pretty typical soap opera. The scene where Fukiko spoke to Kaoru was kind of weird given how self-absorbed and unhealthy Fukiko's fixation on Henmi is. How is she giving advice to anybody about love? Or did what happened before when she ended up wrecking her "sealed chamber" mean she managed to get past that? |

Maybe it's because Henmi is so dull, or because Kaoru barely seems like the same character, or because it's just a bunch of pretty typical soap opera. This might be true. Kaoru's like an entirely different person now but maybe the change has something to do with Rei's death. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I guess Rei's death changed Miya and she wants Kaoru to live whatever time she has left to the fullest with the man she loves most. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Death can change a person, especially if it's the closest person you had. It's just the depression after Rei's death and the whole deal with Henmi. It adds to the show and the character, since not that many shows deal properly with death of a person. They either cry for an episode and forget it or cry for the whole show for emotional manipulation. Dear Brother is the first anime I've seen that took death seriously and I can relate to. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I was worried at first, when I saw the episode of Rei jumping and perishing. But this show managed her death in a truly good way and all the characters grew significantly from there. Really good |
 |
| Me too, it's pretty strange, over her disease. I supposed she had had surgery before they met. May be she just didn't tell him what kind of surgery it was. And... She's already have metastasis? I believe in that case it's very hard to stay alive for 5 years. Well, we've finally lost you, Kaoru. Soap opera xD |
| Why is Kaoru so out of character... like everyone was weird and out of character for the last seven episodes but this is the last straw. We really did lose her. Ugh, this is not working for me, either. |
| Seems like Miya out of all characters was able to convince Kaoru to live happily the possible remaining 5 years with Henmi rather than in misery alone. |
 |
| Don't mind me, just getting ready for the news about Kaoru's death. The prospect of her spending her remaining years with the one she loves in happiness is a small comort. I would like to see her live on, tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Tbh, it is sort of odd for Miya of out all people to be giving advice to Kaoru, she definitely isn't the type to be a positive influence at least until after school revolution. |
| BRO IM SO EMO RIGHT NOW. HENMI AND KAORU ARE SO CUTE PLEASE. |
| The least expected person is the one that is able to convice her so this drama could end and Kaoru could get some happiness. |
| Again men are overtaking my girls love anime Those two guys really should've been gay the fact that they spend so much time together made me think so so I'm kinda disappointed Also yeah sure implied bisexuality representation of Kaoru i guess but the show could've explored her relationship with juste a little more Cuz yeah they were sleeping together naked, but just as friends yeah totally kind of a nothing burger there Na for real tho i been enjoy the show more but ever since there are more and more men in the show my interest been waning a lil |

| @Ston3_FreeN7 Because once Henmi and Miya's brother started becoming the movers of this anime, they took away the flavor. They should've just kept them in the background, with Henmi only coming out for the reveal of being Nanako's brother. The men are so fucking dull that they just bring this anime down, especially with the BS heteronormative relationships that came out of nowhere. |

Nobody seems to be talking about it, so I will: the bromance between Takashi and Takehiko is fucking awesome! True friendship. Rarely do people find a friend like that, with whom you can bond & spend time with even after graduating, even after going your separate path.
| @blank We're not talking about it because we don't give AF about the men. They should've stayed in the background. |

| @elgatosaika I mean, it's the fact that the men are low-key the plot drivers while being dull AF. Plus the love interest for Kaoru is dull and she's dull as of now. It's like this anime is trying to say that forcing people into het relationships makes them boring AF. And this isn't even hate for Het ships. This is hate for these dull ass men and these flavorless and bland ships. Like, I can't believe this is the same woman who wrote Rose of Versailles! And the last thing you said, was the truth. Once the men became more prominent, the show lost its flavor... |
| Miya has certainly matured since Rei's passing. She's fully okay with never having another chance with Henmi, and helped encourage Kaoru to go enjoy her life with him. She said yes! I hope that she lives more than four years, but at least they'll be together for whatever time she has left, and that's better than nothing. |
 |
| This show really went downhill after Rei's death :/ Fukiko who willingly gives a push to Kaoru so she leaves with Henmi for Germany? No, I don't buy it. The same Fukiko, who was so obsessed wtih Henmi she came up with convoluted plans to keep Nanako away from him just because they were pen-pals? It's of course possible that she's changed after losing Rei, but even that isn't really believable since she tormented Rei so much all her life, but now suddenly backtracked claiming it was love... And Kaoru... this isn't a character who has to be told about living to the fullest. I can see how romance would influence someone in the strangest ways, but honestly, this whole plot feels completely unnecessary. Also, Nanako's mother telling her she'd fall in love with a boy and it'll be a true love.... I expected Nanako to remember Rei and mentally at least argue that this was already true love and it didn't have to be with a boy, or something, anything? |
