The festival episode, I really like Mahoro's dog he seemed really neat, and there was a sad bit at the end about her impending death, another good episode.

Caught foreshadowing at the beginning and end of the episode, they really want to let you know that something is coming.

i really liked the conversation between maho and slash couldnt stop laughing

"I am the bone of my sword,
Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life,
Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

Is it a rule somewhere that every series with romance has to have at least one festival episode?
I loved the contest for Suguru. Something's definitely gonna go down with that thing on the plane though.

Good episode.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

oh goodness... this episode got me in tears around the 18:50 mark when Suguru reminisced about his sad past and bitter self when he wished the stupid festival would go away. I've never wanted to hug and comfort a child so badly in my life.

LOL @ Shikijou getting caught by totally not pissed Mahoro :D . And @ Mahoro's enthusiasm over festival food. She and Chizuko may have something in common :) . That mecha black panther was cool.

I really enjoyed this episode. I seen that festival as a getaway for Sugaru to keep his mind off of things, but unfortunately while Mahoro was having fun, deep down he was hating the festival. Reminded him of his family so much and how he always feels alone. My favorite scene is when it starts raining and they are just out in the rain walking together, then Mahoro shakes a tree and gets all the people even more wet. I also see rain as a sign of sadness for Suguru, since he isn't happy. The sad moment comes at the end when Suguru tells Mahoro that he wants to come back to the festival and see the fireworks again with her next year. Little does he know that she isn't gonna be around for a year more. Without her in his life, I have no idea what will happen to him. I guess we will see in the second season. 5/5.

It's my dream to enjoy festivals like that, surrounded by cute girls in yukata, someday. hehe

Yakisoba! Oh man, I think I'll order one later.

"Let's do it again next year". He's gonna be really depressed once he finds out the truth.

Mahoro looks great in a yukata, sure. I think she'd look great in anything.

Slash feels like Mahoro's familiar or something, being a black feline with yellow eyes and all. He looks more pantherine than most cats do. Guess anything goes with mechas.

It was a beautiful episode with the classic matsuri romance tropes! I loved this one so much! The teacher and Mahoro's clash was cool and funny. And then at the end, we were reminded of Mahoro's limited time via her faithful companion Slash :(
