----------------------------------------
They are unable to say anything while walking. Then on the stairs, Sawako almost fell and Kazehaya saved her. They got too near to each other, so they are very shocked and embarrassed.
Yano, who is hiding in the bushes near them with Yoshida and Ryuu, are furious at their reaction. She instructed Yoshida to call Kazehaya and Ryuu asked them what are they doing here. She kind of explained the situation.
Kazehaya invited her to somewhere to warm up until 12am. Then he finally got by her side (instead of being in front of her the whole time).
Both Yano and Yoshida are happy that he finally walked beside her. Ryuu finally understood their goal for not going with those two. lol @ Ryuu wanting to drink sweet sake. even more lol @ their "aho" classmate fooling around in front of the fire. Then when those couple came passing his eye sight, Yano and Yoshida tried to get his attention away and convinced him that he didn't see Kazehaya. Though he's happy that Yano's getting his arm and probably she likes him. All Ryuu is thinking about is sweet sake! That "aho" guy suggested to drink sweet sake and both Yano and Yoshida said no to sweet sake.
Both Kazehaya and Sawako arrived to sweet sake stand and the person said sweet sakes for the pair. Sawako is blushing at that word. She's happy but is a misunderstanding, she said. She doesn't know that Kazehaya is also blushing about that word. Sawako said delicious, so Kazehaya tried and said it's his first time to think that sweet sake is delicious. Sawako is glad to know another thing that she doesn't know about Kazehaya, he used to not like sweet sake. He said she already seen those. It's first time they went hatsumoude together, and first time buying strap for the girl he likes, and doing haramaki (the gift Sawako "gave" him during Christmas) for the first time. Thankfully, he's warm because of the haramaki. Sawako said but it's originally for her father, but he said it's already his.
Sawako is glad to give something that she made to Kazehaya.
Kazehaya wants his mail address and she wants to give her that. Sawako is sending one now, and Kazehaya thinks that he should ask her one earlier. He regretted to do so and he should have forced her to give one... Sawako sent a message about she's happy to be together. He was amused at her email address, but he still doesn't know her b-day (it was on her email address! Or he was just confirming what he saw?) and asked about her b-day. She said it's today. Then there's a bell to warm them it's 15 mins until next year. He was kind of shocked at her b-day almost over, but he's glad to say happy b-day to her on time (still for him). He said if he knows about her b-day earlier, he would given her a gift. Sawako said she already got one, to know things that she didn't know about Kazehaya, his first time, and being with her for b-day.
He asked her about her young time (16 years ago). She explained how simple her life was, including someone told her about zashiki warashi, and playing something alone (very dark). Kazehaya said if he heard that the first time he met her, he would thought of her liking being alone, but now he can imagine that she's having fun whatever she does.
Kazehaya asked for more, and she passed elementary school. She talked about junior high school, then when she talked about high school, there's a flashback of what she experienced so far, and the change when she met Kazehaya. Her life is too not simple in one year that she could go on forever, so she stopped and shed a bit tear. Kazehaya turned back at her and smiled. New year is beginning.
Next ep... new year.
Kimi Todo... DVD vol.4 info. & mobile site quiz with Sawako's figure as gift. Next ep. is final ep.
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
Man this whole series is just a smooth ride... no bumping crazy girls with knifes stabbing each other, no boats, no torture... and sadly no tentacles either.
I was a bit disappointed at how Sadako kind of stood the same throughout the whole thing :[
Naruleach said: I wonder when season 2 is going to be aired.
Yes it certainly did seem in this episode that they are definitely trying to set up another season. Way too early for that to be announced though. I'm happy that it looks like episode 25 is going to be a real episode and not a flashback type episode. No Kiss! But of course from the mood of their relationship thus far, it's probably better that they get to know each other first right? So close so many times though. All the suspense! The art seemed beautiful to me. More bubbles, but they were water bubbles this time.
Highlight of this episode was when Chizuru was screaming into her cell phone only meters away from Kazehaya and Sawako.
Summary: Chizu x Phone x 3 meters = <3| Kawaisonanu Ryuu| Jo gets(!) Yano :D | Lots of snow flakes | 1231 |15 minutes to new year | Kawaii~ Sawako (as always) | Blushing Kazehaya (yeap. as always too)
This one is one of the best shoujo anime ever. makes me wanna fall in love :P
Also, hopefully they make a season 2 of this anime, most of the good shoujo anime ends up NOT having a sequel. :/
Stay Home and Wash Your Hands.
Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones.
Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus.
For a second, I thought kazehaya might give Sawako a kiss for her birthday. Guess that wouldn't happen since they haven't even officially started going out yet.
Aaargh the frustration of nothing actually happening!! Gotta put everything on the last ep now.
Other than that I really liked the ep, and can hardly wait til next week :)

Speed subbers, but I'd rather watch Eclipse than Sunberries any day of the week.
Good episode. Learning more about Sawako while watching the two get closer to each other was enjoyable for me.
But come on Kaze, Sawa's feelings are soo obvious!
I'm sure the next ep will definitely be what everyone's waiting for.
I think at any other point in the series, I would have absolutely loved this episode. But as we are fast approaching the end, I want SOMETHING to happen damnit! I have a bad feeling that it's going to end with Kazehaya and Sawako no closer to an actual relationship, and unless they immediately announce season 2, I'm not going to be satisfied with that.
Im happy even if this series does not end with a kiss or any confession. Whats the hurry? I do hope they will make a second season... or maybe the live action will provide the conclusion to the anime. Hope everyone enjoy the last episode =D
Incredible episode once again! I particularly like Kazehaya grabbing Sawako when she was about to fall......the walk side by side was cute.....the festival itself was good even Joe was there and his parents don't look good compared to ones of Sawako. Yano/Yoshida with Ryuu made comedy like gold! Loved it! Other moments that completely made me happy and teary.....this one was so funny...Oh Joe you are a little perverted=>
I know everyone been talking about this part where Chizuru was talking loudly on the phone and Kazehaya almost found out....loved that part too!=>
Nice cute Shy moment here=>
Kazehaya's first time......I loved it so much....reminded me when I did first times for girls but unfortunately it was not anything new for them....too bad=>
Very nice messages they were when Sawako sent them to Kazehaya...I was personally touched by them a lot!=>
Favorite moments in GIF mode are obvious those=>
Sawako GIFs.....she was beautiful as usual=>
Joe/Yano were funny but I liked most Yano's expression there+Sawako's past story was touching but also sad in the thing that she did a lot of things alone...still liked her past since it was cute=>
Overall it was another enjoyable episode....actually I particularly liked Sawako's past, time of birth 11:45pm.....I will remember that and Ryuu/Yano/Yoshida/Joe part.
Maximatum99 said: Dudes, Imma want'n some amazake!
That part was good too......I prefer sake but TBH it has to be red wine.
I can't notice any difference between fms and eclipse really. Both are fast have good grammar, font and timing. And if you watch a lot of anime you probably understand 75% of what they say anyway.
Thumbs up for a sequel. Sawako needs some serious development.
Yabe. Chichi atarukamo. :DDDD
Poor Ryu. No amazake and his jacket is trashed. I hope he gets some actions with Yoshida next ep as compensation.
I really hope this isn't another School Rumble where nothing happens through 3 season.
It was a good episode, but the beginning really annoyed me. Before it started (like as it was showing scenes from the end of last week), I thought to myself "please don't have Sawako fall and Kazehaya catch her" and then it happened. Ughhhh. Cmon now, that's soooooooo cliche.
-_-
But I will miss this show since as people said, shoujo series rarely get sequels.
Yay for Yano and Yoshida! They attempted to try to push the Kazehaya/Sawako relationship forward lol. Poor Ryuu though, dragged around when all he wanted was amazake, and he also had his funny expression on most of the time.
I felt a little sad when Sawako was explaining how she did everything alone when she was younger...
Down to last episode...hope they end it off on a high, such as Kazehaya asking Sawako out or something like that, even if there isn't a kiss!
Jeez.
I was almost 100% sure there was going to be a kiss or confession from some couple in this episode. (KazehayaxSawako or RyuuxChizu)
I got all excited too. :[

Me as well, my friend. Me as well.
>.<
So, bad. I think with this slow pace, there's no way for a kiss nor confession.
But in episode 23 Yano said something like "There's still Valentine's and bunch of other events."
Could it be a hint that there'll be second season? I hope so!
Ahhh!!!! I will admit that this episode had me going "What? That was it?". I liked it but I wanted more. *sighs* The last episode better be amazing and the 2nd season better be right around the corner....(crosses fingers!)
It was one of the better episodes that have come out recently...this is my current favorite anime and I'm getting depressed knowing that there is only 1 more episode...hoping there is a second season in 2011 or sooner...
I haven't read the manga, but seriously people... How can you expect a kiss when just walking next to each other was such a big deal? I'll throw a party if I see them touching hands.
This really is like watching a turtle race... and the turtles are half-dead.
I would've liked a confession by now... They better have a confession or kiss next week or I'll go berserk. I'm also really afreaid that a season 2 would just ruin the atmosphere, so I hope they won't make a sequel and just end it next week... WITH A DAMN KISS. :D
It's definitely a decent anime, but I think it's been dragging way too much ever since the Kurumi arc. I would like to see some development by the last episode
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.
Well, I'll just say that anyone watching the Kimitodo anime should learn to have more patience, just as we manga readers have experienced first hand. :)
I would faint if they announce a 2nd season any time soon. They simply don't have enough material for that, but it would make me extra, extra, extra happy for sure, but then I don't really want stupid fillers.

Make sure you get a friend to film your suicides, and post it in the last episode's thread so we can witness you living up to your words. (I kid. :P)
omg T_T
That did NOT feel like a 20 minute episode; it went by too quickly D:
So much awesome in this episode D:
Kazehaya catching her when she was falling D:
and...
WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO KISS HER WHEN HE LEANED IN AHHHHHHHHH
Good episode. Sawako got to be involved with quite a few of Kazehaya's "first times". And Kazehaya getting to be around Sawako around the exact time on the day of her birth must have been nice. One more episode to go, I hope it's great.
WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO KISS HER WHEN HE LEANED IN AHHHHHHHHH
Lol if that happened Sawako would probably die of shock. Never mind that, Kazehaya would faint before their lips even touched! I mean, their relationship hasn't even reached the point of holding hands yet!
Which is why, if they decide to end the series with no real development in either the Kazehaya/Sawako or the Ryuu/Chizu pairings, they better make a second season to do so...
Omfguhh Sawako's hairstyle is soo cute, i wish she would wear that everydayy. Kazehaya is so good at talking lmfao. And they look like such a good couple together D: why can't they just kiss already damn. I was hoping for the text to be like the climax part and she says something crazy and Kazehaya would lean in and kiss her gahhh but it didn't happen >:[ episode 25 better have a kiss in it or else i'm gunna be an angry cookie.

I LOL'd at the school days quote.
but besides that there is currently 5d 15h 8m till the last ep
And I thought this was the last episode. If I hadn't paused to update the anime watched tracker, I wouldn't have noticed that there is still an outstanding episode to wait for. Sigh. Another week.
