| Izanami so adorable, pretty decent ep, pulled my heart strings a bit, but not enough |
tenshibeat said: when did maeda say that? Can you redirect me to the source?Man the show is starting to pick up properly. Maeda wan't lying about this being the saddest anime ever, considering I've already (lightly) started the water works 5 episodes in. Plus with Hina starting to have her heart stir, this is going to be interesting. |
 |
| Finally, a decent episode. After that crapshow that was episode 4, this was a massive shot back up. Let's hope this sticks till the end of the series |
Ventus_S said: I can understand the mourning aspect but why would he become a hikkikomoriAtlos said: Seems to be the start of a more typical Jun Maeda story although the fact that he just didn't make extra recordings of the tapes doesn't make sense and its not really explained how his wife dying led him to become a hikkikomori Um it makes sense because the point is she want them to move on instead of constantly thinking about her and mopping about it. |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| I think Hina's realization at the end of the episode was more related to Yota chickening out than a romantic twist. Being a diefied wing girl to a dense MP is tough, after all. :' ) |

| Lmao. Suddenly they returned to the main storyline to resolved Izanami family issue. Well, its not a big surprised too since she already hint a problem from the previous episode .... It looks like the real heavy drama might be started out after Izanami successfully openned up her heart. However, it seemed the way to the end of the world still be hard to reach a satisfying ending, by looking at Narukami last decision. Seriously, boy?? You already wasted the previous chance, now that golden ticket too you wasted it one second? Omg, that kid really reaching out my nerved xD. Yes, no way everything resolved at 5th episode. Lol. However, the way of Odin aka Hina feeling uneasy about Narukami's future after Izanami openned her heart, and then about her passion toward the mother issues. Its pretty much pointing out something fishy. Oh well, i don't want to speculate much. Because it might be became a great failure to me. But from these episode, ngl, the feel already hit at the right place. I am satisfied enough, much tearing my eyes than before. As expected as a heavy drama show, Kamisama ni natta Hi, slowly showed their true identity. And The mystery of Odin aka Hina and every background surrounding her might be getting uncoverred maybe at the next 2 or 3 episodes .... Well, i believed its not getting resolved at the next episode one. Because it had a high possibility to be back to the the episodic episode format again, as the countdown became slower than i expected. I must be patient. The pattern already been designed, so sooner or later the revelations will come to hit me. Yeah, i might be prepare for the worst scenario too! |

| This might be the saddest episode so far in this series. I was literally trying my best not to cry when I watch the Izanami's mother's message. |
| This episode made me remember that this is Maeda Jun's work. It was so heartwarming. |

BestMillimeter18 said: A guy that locked himself in his house for years after his wife died, and is left to take of their daughter? Sounds familiar. Sounds like Clannad... :d |
| Damn damn damn...sad damn. The tears were almost there, but damn...it's not there yet. This anime is finally testing me...to cry...this is just the first attempt. The best way to make me cry in an anime...is about family...and damn they almost got me. Pacing was just a tad bit fast and the dialogue was not strong enough, but it doesn't matter. I was almost crying in this episode on how important Izanami's mom is to her and to her dad. And just like in Episode 2 (where Yota still can't confess to Izanami), he once again failed but this time I'll forgive him. Atleast he realize that it's unfair to confess to her after helping her too much with his and Hina's grand magic, and you know what I ain't breaking my earphones for that weak mindset from Yota ever again. Some of the comedy was there but the sad moment is truly worth of an applause. |

| A touching episode.I regard it as the best episode by now of this series. I like Izanami and glad to see a complete story about her.Something about losing a family member isn't creative but it can always move us.Which bought us happiness was that relations between Izanami and his father has been improved due to Youta and Hina's efforts. By the way,there're some hints in this episode. 1.Youta pointed out that Hina became highly reactive when they were talking about topics of mothers.I bet this dialogue will be important in the next plots.It might have to do with the whole world. 2.Hina said her heart was stirring.It seemed like she like Youta and doesn't want him to become boyfriend of Izanami... I also have a question.Why can Hina imitate the voice of Izanami's mother?My opinion is that all this world is created by someone and Hina is the administrator.After watching the video of picnic Hina has known the voice of Mrs.Izanami.She adjust her voice then...(Just an imagination...) 11 days left. |

Grontan said: i don't want Hina to dieEpicCh33se said: Evidently, Hina is making Youta help people out with their personal problems. It's reminding me of Clannad and Little Busters, how Tomoya and Riki helped out the cast to accomplish something in the end. And nice, the insert song is a vocal version of the first OST heard in EP 1. Also, after Youta doesn't confess, an upbeat version of the piano song is heard. I think people might be thinking that she likes Youta, but I think it has something to do with time shenanigans or prediction shenanigans. Not sure, but I don't think it's romantic. I'm starting to think that Hina's powers aren't to predict, but to manipulate the world. ----------------------------- Observations Yea, I don't think it's romance. It's probably related to what Hina means about "World's End". It may be Hina will die in 30 days or Hina will forced to go back in time in 30 days because of some reason we don't know yet. |
| I'm seriously fed up with this anime's comedy. Way too repetitive in theme. Nice to see something finally moving. Hopefully we are getting to the serious part. |
| We knew the tears would start eventually. Manly tears! :sniffle: Probably more on the way... I think we've all figured out how this (and the world) ends, but no spoiler! Hint: Not a spoiler for this show, but in a spoiler box anyhow. |

| Very good episode. Expecting it to get more and more emotional from now. |
| Definitely a more drama filled episode than last, and probably the best one so far too. And those ED visuals and post-credit scene made for a nice icing on the cake. So I'm guessing Izanami will be a bit more upbeat for the rest of the series, which should make things a bit easier for Youta now. 11 days left, looking forward to what happens next. |
 |
| Good episode. I liked it, it’s always good to see these father and son relationships. |
 |
| Ahh I can’t handle stuff like that. Whew that cleared my sinuses though. 😭😭😭 What an excellent episode. The best yet I think. |
| My god, this episode certainly gave me flashbacks of Violet Evergarden's masterpiece of a 10th episode, which is very high praise coming from me. =) While we still had the usual dose of some awesome funny slapstick jokes and facial expressions as usual, with Izanami's father getting all crazy over cheese dishes being one of the funniest parts of this episode, it was the powerful last 5 minutes, with Izanami and her father, watching the video messages from her mother, that really hits hard. The special ending song, along with some short scenes of Izanami and her parents when she was younger added that extra dose of emotion to this episode. It made me tear up a bit, too. ^^' The final scene was still hilarious, as Yota didn't have enough self-confidence to confess his feelings to Izanami, but I do praise him for not exploiting Hina's strategy to help him with his love this time. On the flip side, I think Hina's starting to develop some feelings for Yota, going by her small monologue to herself. Not many days left, now, and the drama has only gotten started. If Maeda can produce a powerful episode like this one, I wonder what else is in store later on... |
| I spent the whole week listening to opening agressively telling myself these first episodes are meh for a reason so here we finally got what we wanted, I literally spent half of the episode trying not to choke on food wiping tears from my face ; _; |
| this anime is just ridiculous, this is the worst anime of the year for me, after being a fan of jun maeda because of clannad, I can't understand WHY could happen here, 4 episodes thrown to waste just to make a 5th episode similar to violet evergarden ep10... just to add, nothing is appropiately explained in this episode, all the wasted time before just to rush everything when time really matters... I just think my opinion will get worse if they try to make this anime better, that mediocre previous episodes are unforgivable... |

| After 4 episodes of pure comedy, the show finally gets to showing some instances of feels. We get to see more of Kyouko, as the episode focuses on her, her father, and her deceased mother. The potential for feels is there, but it didn't work on me that much likely because I'm a heartless nobody with no soul at all. I can see what the show was trying to do here though, as it seems the episode was trying to give a message on being happy and respecting a loved one's wishes about moving on. It is weird that her father didn't want to show the video messages to Kyouko despite the mother clearly making them for Kyouko in mind... it's kinda close to levels of messed-up-why-didn't-you-do-this, but whatever, I guess. Speaking of the video messages, they kinda reminded me of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai heheh. There were also some jokes in this episode, as always, but I didn't really laugh at any of them, but I suppose it's fine since this episode's a bit more focused on some family drama. Funimation does some localizing in their subs again; what stood out to me this episode was translating Kyouko's 「ごちそうさま」 ("thank you for the meal") to "I'm going to study" in the beginning of the episode. I suppose this localization makes sense in context of Kyouko's character and tone here and would be what she would have said if she lived in a country like over here in 'murica, but I obviously prefer a less-localized translation for my subtitles and wouldn't mind if this kind of localization was in a dub instead. I dunno, I guess I'm just being nitpicky today... EpicCh33se said: ...though I am glad that I am not the only one who noticed this.This is NOT what she said. They could have translated this as "I'm done eating" and it would have been fine. Speaking of food, this episode reveals that Kyouko's dad likes cheese dishes. As in really really likes them. Pretty cheesy, am I right? Once again, Kyouko is accepting Yota's weird situations pretty easily and took the "underworld phone call with her mother" completely seriously with little to no questions. I guess that's just that kind of kuudere character she is. The shot of Kyouko smiling when she looks at her father and says "Let's watch it [the last video message] together" is very cute though. I like it. I also really like the change in the ED/end credits for this episode. That pretty little piano theme that was played at the very beginning of the show is extended to have lyrics, and a cute little family montage of the Izanami family is shown as this song plays. It reminds me of And I mean this in a good way. Yota misses his chance to try confessing again. I understand that you feel like this is cheating and all, but come on, at least suggest a little psuedo-date or something if you're not gonna try outright confessing, ya know? Hahahahah idk I was never a romance person irl, so maybe I'm just dumb. ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ megumeerul said: tenshibeat said: Man the show is starting to pick up properly.

This has been stated before the show aired; iirc it was during an interview with Ayane Sakura (Hina's voice actress) about the show. zamandzoe said: And I feel the heavy emphasis on "magic" in the emotional scene was a bit too forced. I think it would've been perfectly fine if the mom just used words normally. Nevertheless, I won't be too harsh on this aspect since everything else in the scene was great. Finally, I am dreading Odin possibly seeing Yuta in a romantic light. I can't help but feel it's going to cause drama that isn't necessary. I'd be all for it if it was familial love though. I think that would fit right in with the themes of the show. I actually kinda agree with you on the "magic" bit, maybe that's why it didn't get to me. And yes, I don't know how to feel about the last bit with Hina... if they go on with that kind of angle, it might feel like AnoHana and I really DO NOT want that. ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ ⋆ ✶ Welcome back to some more theorizing conspiracy stuff; again, don't expect much from me today. 11 days until the end of the world. |

| We'll have a more impactful confession towards the end of the series. I didn't feel much with this episode. I thought it was great that Kyouko had closure from her late mother, that was nice. However the mystery of Hina continues. Who is she exactly? She was able to replicate Kyouko's mothers voice just from seeing a 1 minute video (give or take). Along with her knowing a lot of specific outcomes (for the most part) I think finding out who Hina truly is along with a Confession from Youta to Kyouka are the two biggest things I am waiting on. Also Hina having her heart strings pulled at the end was interesting. Was she jealous of Youta for thinking he was confessing his feelings? A lot of interesting things going on in this anime. |

| This ep was waterworks galore. Definitely my favorite one so far! |
| Surprisingly heart-warming, especially considering I didn’t really have much attachment to Izanami. This show keeps pleasantly surprising me — I’m still on edge waiting for everything to implode when that timer hits zero, but nonetheless, I’m having a good time right now. Ah, there it is — the love triangle is official. Let me guess, for our final act Yota realizes some feelings towards Hina at the ‘end of the world’, Hina dies or something, and Yota eventually ends up with Izanami afterwards. |
| Hina/Odin really set the ball rolling there for them. Kiyoko and her Father will have to work hard to look forward and try to live without thinking of their mom. RIP. |
 |
| As good as i thought this episode was, I can't be the only one who thought they kind of ripped off Violet Evergarden. Also I really didn't like Hina's line of jealously at the end of the episode. I really hope it doesn't turn into a forced Charlotte-type romance. |
| "Who needs drugs when you got cute anime girls?" -Sun Tzu |
| I almost cry, I'm not ready for what will come... The first half was 100% comedy, the second half was 100% feels, and the last escene, while dumb, shows us Youta is not willing to "cheat" for true love, and that Izanami is finally happy. I can't get enough of Hina's cuteness, Youta is an amazing protagonist, and I'm finally starting to like Izanami a lot. If this anime isn't a 10/10, then I don't know what is. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| I really enjoyed the episode and some tears came out.. :'( I'm afraid it may really be the beginning of the end.... |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry but I don't know English very well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| They decided to do an entire episode dedicated to developing Kyouko's character. And I have to say, they fucking nailed it! Easily the best episode so far. The usual comedic scenes featuring Youta and Hina were still there, but the overall tone of the episode was really heartbreaking. I cried a little at the end to be honest. It was quite encouraging as well, though, seeing Kyouko finally starting to move on from her past. Youta had a chance to confess his love to Kyouko, but I'm actually glad that he didn't. I hope he will eventually be able to confess to her. Before the world ends, at least, which is quite nearby. |

| Better episode, the more serious tone suits this series much more. The recorded video message idea for each birthday was good but it was no Violet Evergarden |
| Fantastic episode, after seeing Kyoko's father all mopey and stuff I didn't expect him to suddenly get hyped over food, that was great. The mother leaving messages reminded me of Violet Evergarden but, it was still a bit different and sweet in it's own way I really loved that scene and then it transitions into a special ED. Fucking beautiful. And massive respect to Yota, he could have confessed then and there but he didn't cause he's a good boy. Confessing there would have honestly been a dick move to be honest, so massive respect. There are other more appropriate times to confess. |

Maeda wan't lying about this being the saddest anime ever, considering I've already (lightly) started the water works 5 episodes in. Plus with Hina starting to have her heart stir, this is going to be interesting. I mean the same happened with Chizuru in Rent-a-Girlfriend, Onodera/Chitoge in Nisekoi, Kuroneko from infamous anime Oreimo & Yuigahama from Oregairu where even when they're in love with the same person, they support that person's love interest keeping aside their feelings. Also, this time, Hina did help Izanami genuinely, & not to close distance between Youta & Izanami. So, when she heard Izanami say that she'll do anything for him, considering Youta, Hina including us knows what first thing will come in his mind & by any chance, he confessed, she will accept it. So, for the first time, in that unpredictable moment, she felt competition, hence the fluttering of her heart. Remember what Youta said in Episode 2, someone doesn't feel fear in their hearts when there is no competition to begin with. I'm not sure if my assumption is correct or not, but when Youta asked Hina when she's relieved, he's referring to the confession & not to the cheating scenario because he said that before. When she was about to hit him with a pillow, if you look carefully, it's shown for 3 seconds that she blushed a little. At first, I thought what Hina says about stirring in her heart means that something bad is about to happen and then the next scene cuts to Youta unable to confess to Izanami. But after reading a few discussion, maybe there really was a hint of Hina's feelings toward Youta. Now I'm becoming more curious of who will Youta end up with. |

| Best girl episode. My favorite so far, the new song by yanaginagi sounds nice! As much as I want Youta to confess, doing that after she thanked him is not the way to go and I'm glad he didn't do it. He will get his time soon, I hope. |
| Best episode so far, and once again Jun Maeda weaves his magic on the emotional scenes. Even when I know what he's doing, he always manages to get me and this episode was no exception. Izanami's family situation really reminded me of Clannad, but still managed to hold its own emotional weight despite that. And, despite it all, the comedic ending not only didn't feel out of place but was actually brilliant as both a moment of levity and in terms of just being funny. Also good to see Youta not exploit that situation to essentially coerce Izanami into dating him. As for Hina, her developing feelings for Youta was inevitable and does slightly concern me, but I'm far more interested in the hints we're continuing to get about her past, with further indications of something having happened to her own mother with her desire to help in both this episode and the ramen shop one. |
