| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm....this episode actually had my interest as it featured an figure skater but unfortunately, the stress got to Mirei as she desired a more normal life. The episode was more lighthearted thanI had expected though. Again, since each episode focuses on a different case, it had a different mood. This episode had a bit of romance in it as well but I think it's important that Haruto made her realize what really meant in her life. |

| oops... She shouldn't have woken up. |
| An episode about a figure skater. Mirei worked her entire life to be where she was, but things went downhill since her incident. She was so traumatized by it, that she was about to chop off her leg, but went into a coma. She wanted to live a normal life and Haruto showed her one. It wasn't all that great. She shines the brightest on the ice. I didn't think she was going to be old when she woke up. |
 |
| I guess the inevitable result of this episodic semi-anthology format is that sometimes you get something brilliant, and other times something like this. |
| Saegusa with the ice skating loss trauma and wanting to life a normal life. She experiences it along with a boyfriends but it leads back to ice skating regardless. She wakes up from the coma as a really old granny :'( |
 |
| Another interesting episode. I didn't expect to be enjoying the show as much as I have especially after the way episode one was. |
| That ending got me. That was surprising, yet very very bittersweet. Actually more on the sad side since she's old now and her life is basically over still. Very good story. |
| The ep was ok up in till the end..... wtf? She's an old lady now? What was the point in her waking up, she's not going to be able to ice skate at that age and her life is pretty much over at this point. What a downer. An out of no where downer. Well, I guess cat-dude wondering if they should bother was a hint, but maybe he should have told the guy WHY he said that instead of being so vague. *sigh* I'm starting to lose hope for this show. |
| what the fuck!!!!!!! the ending surprised me so much DAMN, a great episode nonetheless, best show this season by far. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Did she never have a dream all this time? i mean she just start the dream and somehow its gone on its own and she have no more time left either way to do anything Where is Haruto on real world? is he only exist on dream world? |
| Into the Internet! |
| Looks like getting back to ice skating is going to be a bit more of a trouble now, since age has hit! |
| She got to taste a bit of the life she hasn't had due to figur skating and when everything seemed perfect she just had to wake up as an old woman.. wow, that's really sad. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| One thing I'm not liking about this show is that we know very little about this main character and in these first episodes we learned nothing new about him? Like why is he stuck in the dream world... is he under the sleeping beauty syndrome.... like I like these episodic type episode but I feel like he's just a boring mc you just does stuff? While all the other other characters are interesting or being developed. Either than that I like this episode... idk but I always loved figure skating. |

| I guess this show will keep playing with bittersweet endings, but I don't know if it's a good thing. Also, I hated this 'It's your fate' thing. Like, no. How can she change her idea after a banal sentence, what do they know about her future? Yes, she likes skating, she can keep doing it while having a normal life, did she forget how the public, their expectations were stressing her out, and how she enjoyed being with her crush? Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much, but the 'It's your fate' thing seems very forced to me. The bittersweet ending didn't help at all, it made that sentence more senseless... |

Wusabi said: ... 'It's your fate' thing seems very forced to me. The bittersweet ending didn't help at all, it made that sentence more senseless... I agree that "'It's your fate" thing was kind of forced but then again it cant be helped, since this show is trying to finish a case each episode and there's just isn't enough time to get into the stuff with more detail. I think the person that actually stopped her right before the kiss, was herself. Her love and passion for skating and being the star pushed that ordinary life and that possibility away, and that's why Lily said "It's your fate" Anyway i guess it was a cool episode, cant w8 to find out more about the MC. |

| Tears were shed at the end...she spent her entire life living in her dream world, when in reality she was doing nothing... Also...why is the animation so bad? It was just fine before. |
 |
| Holy shit that ending, im sure there is no one who expected it. |
| She should have stayed in that dreamworld. |

Doctor Cat's reluctance to help her, his line about not wanting his sister to end up the same way, the fact they avoided showing Mirei's face in the first hospital scene, and the MC's line about not recognizing her name (despite her being renown throughout Japan) all pointed to her being an old woman. Simple foreshadowing, elementary my dear Watson. Also, I guess the moral of this story is never try anything new and resign yourself to your fate because you can never be happy no matter what... that's... nice? |

I never even noticed stuff you mentioned :D |
| Is anyone else suspecting that Haruto is 1: Not a real person and just exists in this dream world. 2: Actually a case of Aurora Syndrome himself who's been there for so long that he's forgotten that he's sleeping. 3: Dead |
| The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being. |
| So much better than last one. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| It didn't make sense that a woman who by the looks of it had been in a coma for 60+ years kept dreaming about a normal college life involving karaoke parties and smartphones, but had they really shown the life she had longed for it would have spoiled the twist. So they just cheated. These writers are a bunch of hacks, as they keep proving with each new episode. |

He still wasn't shown outside the dreamworld so he's most likely in a coma too |
| Was anyone able to get what she said to Haruto before he left her dream? Like, even a glimpse of it? I'm a little clueless to that and it left me really curious xD I think Haruto is only the "Prince", destined to awaken the true princess, maybe he's only in a coma and trapped in the Dream world until he accomplishes his mission. |
| lolz that oba-san...what a twist! and that was unexpected! can a Coma be that long? 4/5. |
 |
| I am disappointed, utterly incoherent episode. I don't know the time setting of this series, but doing a small calculation in the dates, they failed to achieve a realistic environment and destroyed the ending in an unexplained way (she can't be that old). For example, the pictures, if the skater was old then the pictures should have been old and the setting of that scenes as well compared with the actual time line. |
dm106 said: Am I missing something? Or you guys are? I'm pretty sure this episode is about not having any regrets, and that's what Haruto showed her. I came to this conclusion too after thinking for a while when I finished watching the episode. I'm glad you mentioned it. Cuz for the people that haven't wrapped their heads around this it's just like "well why did she wake up at all?" I think a lot of people missed out because if flew over their heads. xD |

Plus that would help explain his connection to Lily. |
| What a savage episode, I'm glad she didn't runaway in the end but it's years too late now. |
 |
| Some episode have been more fun to watch than others (read: EP 2 gore was really fun to watch) and these last few EPs have been sweet, but I feel like it needs to change up the format just a bit, or even tell us more about the main character to keep me interested. Also the animation quality drop was super disappointing. The previous EPs looked great. Hopefully EP 6 pulls it back together. |

| "Sleeping beauties" problem: they never know how old they will be when the prince will finally wake them up. Not sure why most people didn't "expect" the ending. The fact the older hero knew the celebrity's name while the younger didn't and that he hoped for her sister not to end up like that were a good way to present the fact the comatose "girl" had grew up a bit. 4/5 Everything became stiff again. Jacob_Chimera said: Also, I guess the moral of this story is never try anything new and resign yourself to your fate because you can never be happy no matter what... that's... nice? I thought it had to do with not having regrets for something she actually chose to dedicate her life to pretty early. It's a You can't become this sport(wo)man just like that, many of those people's life revolves entirely around the discipline they came to love. |
| Oh boy that ending :o that sure was quite a surprise! Still a nice episode though. |

| wtf they where using phones, mobiles arent THAT old |
NihilisticLoner said: I swear, this anime is more bipolar than an actual bipolar person. -The MC's personality is completely different for no reason -MC tells girl to choose her own path...then later tells her to choose just one path, somehow never considering how she could attend school normally while ice skating -Girl has been trapped in dream for a long time, yet never hung out with anyone there?? -MC tells girl normal life isn't that great, yet she was having the time of her life -Plot twist near the end comes out of nowhere, and negates the already hypocritical message My thoughts exactly. To me, nothing made sense in this episode. Then again, the pace of the 4th one was also extremely weird compared to the 3rd one. I wonder if the rest of this series is gonna be a roller coaster like that.. I surely hope that it's not. |
