| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, what a way to relive the past again. Not the typical way though. That ending is priceless with the bed scenes. |

| New character's POV this time and it's Samura. Felt a little bad for her as she keeps saying it'll be okay even if she lives by herself, but gradually realizes it's not.. Kaoru and Hajime sleeping positions in the end were pretty funny though! |
 |
She is just too cute  |

| Apparently this episode was directed by Itsuki Imazaki, who has a rather distinct flair in his usual art style. |

I was gonna say I was happy she found love, but I guess the callback at the end coulda suggested it was indeed a different character. |
| -slow applause- This weeks episode was surprisingly good, caught me offguard with kaoru's lowest times of her life saying "ill be okay" when obviously things are not. I like this curveball this series has thrown at us, though im hoping for a brighter episode next time. |

Yeah, it was a little confusing since the transition between the main focus of this episode (Samura) and the last scene was a bit abrupt. Also, Samura's hair color differs from Kaoru's so I figured they must be two different characters. But I can't say for sure though. It was probably all in Kaoru's dream or something. |

| The daily routine of doing a job you don't like, i have been there and done that. And i know how terribly annoying it is at some point you feel completely useless thinking if this is all there is to life. Glad i made changes. |
| Good episode, I thought that the blue haired girl was Kaoru in the past too. She really was living a low time in her life, trying to keep up saying that all was okay when things were horrible. That apartment was really scary. StevenHu said: Apparently this episode was directed by Itsuki Imazaki, who has a rather distinct flair in his usual art style. That explains everything, it looked different but it still was good :). |

Samura is Kaoru's maiden name, right? Also, she dyed her hair blonde. |

You guys are confusing me. That black haired girl was Kaoru. She bleached/dyed her hair later on. |

Well yeah a rather poignant episode, but by the end there was definitely comfort for Kaoru as her life went in a better direction. Definitely easy to be happy for her. |

| Interesting episode, Kaoru was addicted to cigars and alcohol, and the ending surely deepens their relationship. StevenHu said: Apparently this episode was directed by Itsuki Imazaki, who has a rather distinct flair in his usual art style. I hope he won't be directing the next episode then. |
| Strong episode. In the context of the rest of this series it was a bit weird for the art style, but standing for itself I liked it a lot! |
| best episode of the series, can tell already |

It was such a nice episode......and it gave off a nice message too. :3 But still, those two are so cute together~! :3 Makes me happy watching this anime. xD |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I liked it a lot. It started all dark and gloomy but everything went clear and joyful in the end. Best episode yet. I really love the characters. |
| The art was kinda weird this episode, but it was a solid episode nonetheless :) |
| Easily the best episode of the series. |
 |
| This was just so Sweet. When she saw him sleeping next to her and just smiled was so simple yet so beautiful. |
| I really hated the art style for this episode ... please don't let this guy direct any more episodes. It looked like total ass. Only episode of the season that didn't have me rolling ... hated this episode. I hope the last two are more like what we've seen so far, because any more eps like this will really hurt its final rating. 1/5, garbage |
| I haven't seen it before, but was this episode a reference to Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei? As soon as that room flipped upside-down I thought it looked extremely familiar to some gifs I've seen for YST. |
| if every episode was directed by imazaki this would be aots. really good episode. |
| Nice to see Kaoru backstory :D Hajime save him from loneliness. very nice episode |
 |
| The art style was terrible in this episode. |
| This ep was so cute.... |
| I loved this episode, it could have even been a stand-alone short movie. |
 |
| I actually liked the art style it gave a special charm to this heartwarming and cute episode. |

| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| Art aside.. This was an absolutely beautiful episode. Just so many different emotions all packed up in three minutes nice and tightly. Adulthood is no laughing matter, and Kaoru's back story was no doubt very relatable to many people. Will everything really be okay? Even after all I'm doing and trying..? What a realistic take on the harshness of life. This show continues to surprise me so pleasantly. If this was a standard 22 minute series and kept with the same quality of storytelling and better animations, there's no doubt this show could be well rated around 8-8.5. |

| Shedding a tear on a 3 minute episode OMFG T__T AMAZING TWT |
| this episode was cute :> and the art style didn't bother me at all. |

What a realistic take on the harshness of life. Perfect description of the episode :) I definitely thought it was really relatable, although I'm not yet at the stage of life she was suffering in in her flashback, but I'm almost there...like it'll be coming up in half a year and I'll be clueless in life and probably be like her. I wasn't expecting a serious episode, but it was a good one nevertheless. Short but to the point and done effectively. The ending part was cute too. Everything did turn out okay for Kaoru ^^ |
| I relate to this episode too much at this point in my life... I'm glad everything worked out for her in the end! This episode sort of felt like it was the last episode, so I'm glad to see that there are still 2 more episodes! |
| good episode not my fav one by pretty good :D |

| People can't survive on their own. But Kaoru was surviving until she met Hajime. This was really a good episode. |
| Did the art still just change or is it just me? Great episode!!! |
 |
| Pretty sure she was gonna wake him up and they would start going at it ._. , miscalculated. |
