| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- And it's that time of year with the snow and fireworks. Well this is the penultimate episode but some of it feels like a finale. Nice glasses, Sachi. There's some moments that makes you go HUH but it looks like the future looks bright for them. 1 more episode left but too many wtf moments this time. |

| Alternate reality bullshit. World where Touko is transfer student and David is local. Another waste of time episode. |

I skipped last week's episode, and will skip today's as well. Just going to watch the last 3 episodes back to back once the finale is here. I couldn't take waiting each week anymore, when each episode seemed to be about nothing (or where little happened). I know this has been a problem all season. But it finally got to me. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| At the Beginning of the Episode I was like : Damn! What the hell is happening! Am I Dreaming? Please slap me hard 3 times! I want to snap out of this Dream! Why the hell it's looks like Touko and Kakeru had switch their residency? (an Alternate World) And Why or also looks like there are 2 groups of them! (So It's an Illusion huh?) Seriously what's going on?!!! At the End of the Episode I was like : Oh so that's the imaginative world or "fragments of future" that Touka has been seeing in the past Episodes. That really freaks me out. But at least it turned back to normal. So please end this Anime with in an understandable way not like that weird way! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |

I can't even believe I've made it this far, assuming nothing was worth the while throughout the anime. AttackOnWaifu said: I skipped last week's episode, and will skip today's as well.

I know this has been a problem all season. But it finally got to me. You definitely need a lot of luck if you're planning on watching a couple of episodes of this at once. I can't picture doing this myself. Maybe it was a bad idea to wait then! I guess I'll just watch an episode here and there before the finale (so I'll space it out) |
| Wow! So much hate for a show that DARES to try something new? Go watch 500+ episodes of those "generic" anime series if an actual plot offends you. "Nothing happens" it seems that way if you're not paying attention, eh? For those who are it's a wonderful, intelligent show. Not perfect, but at least it's trying to be original... |
| I don't understand... -.- I don't get this episode?! What I just watched? Even when Kakeru explained it, I still don't get it... Also Kakeru even in alternate reality still lives in a tent? During the winter? Although their house is big? He still lives in a tent? WTF?! O.o |
| that was deep. the vision is like an interpretation of kakeru's sudden, unexpected loneliness, and touko is being put in his shoes. i get goosebumps from watching. 5/5. next week >_< |
This episode proved that they (staff) only play around. They don't give a shit about story, consistency or anything. Look, they are trying cinematography technique they never used in it. |
|
| They needed a good story to save the show, this is the penultime episode, and what do they do? Something that can be considered filler. Really, the episode was saved when they showed that it was Toukos vision of an alternate reality, but god... seriously? |
| well i am really glad that i am not the only one not getting this episode this show is so stupid... why did they want to do supernatural if all they got is slice of life... ffs... it just gets annoying |
 |
| Hallucination MAX level. |
| I was annoyed throughout this episode because the alternate reality thing was lame and was the entire episode; BUT as someone mentioned, it helps Touko relate with Kakeru and the loneliness he experiences by having her experience his feels. If those two don't end up together, this entire anime was a waste of time where essentially nothing happened and every decision made by them was based on visions, self psychological assessments and metaphysics bullshit |
| Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. |
She saw his brother stroking the pole. So DEEP |
|
| What the fuck did I just watch? There have been a lot of very questionable decisions with the direction of the show but this episode was just unbelievable, I couldn't believe what I was watching. |

Also Kakeru even in alternate reality still lives in a tent? During the winter? Although their house is big? He still lives in a tent? WTF?! O.o The whole episode was a much longer version of one of Touko's fragments - she was 'seeing' it due to the vase and Kakeru's mother playing. In the 'fragment' they are both switched - Touko the new girl in town/Kakeru local - I guess it will help her understand Kakeru better... I guess the fragments weren't about the future then... well at least not all of them...? Have to admit though, until the reveal at the end, I was so confused I couldn't properly get into watching this episode ^^; |
 |
| The whole point of this episode is for Touko to comprehend Kakeru's "sudden loneliness" feeling. They have been relying too much on fragments vision crap that it becomes greatly disappointed. |
| I was so confused at first, but once it became clear that it was an alternate reality, it all made a lot of sense (by Glasslip standards at least). Once I figured out the alternate reality bit, I actually kinda really liked this episode, even if it felt like a deliberate ploy by the writers to drag things out and to try some new tricks. At least the fragments finally make some sort of sense now, and I like how this episode helps us to understand Kakeru better without him even being the focus; I quite like the way they showed us what he goes through by using Touko instead, and thus revealing some more about her in the progress. One episode left now. These last few episodes have been a drastic improvement, so I'm really hoping that we get a good finale here. |
| I don't think it was necessary to devote an entire episode for this. |
| They can't remember you because a pile of rocks is more fun than you. |
| Another episode that didn't make sense at all. |
| Is this shit written by aliens? |
| Annnnd they pulled off another episode of non-sense. I'm seriously impressed now, just when the non-sense will stop? |
 |
| Alternate worlds? Touko being the newcomer? Multiple Yuki, Yanagi, Hiro and Sachi? Guess we know now why there were multiple David :) |
| They did it again. For a sec, I though I am watching nice flashback that should be the first episode of this show but then I realized they just pull again that nonsensical bullshit. Can this be even more worthless writing? Wild_Lynx said: Hallucination MAX level. Now I am almost sure the creators are either on drugs or they are trolling us pretty hard. No way they are taking this seriously. |
| Whoa Touko and Kakeru switched roles : 0 So this was the future fragments she kept seeing. She now understands Kakaru's loneliness T__T If she wan't real in alternative world does that mean Kakaru isn't real in the current world : 0 |
| I was so confused I thought I'd skipped couple of episodes |

So please end this Anime with in an understandable way not like that weird way! kinda agreed with this well this anime really took an unusual way of story (or maybe unusual way of anime), the staff really like to try "new" things but sadly sometimes it goes bad. i kinda like the story, but the staff make it looks like bad anime(i think). |
| a dual-sword wielder, fire element in right arm and ice element in left arm |
| With every episode I get more confused. Now apparently everything was a parallel world, what? |
| i'm pretty confused about this episode... So her friends who were watching the fireworks were illusions and the real ones ( in her imaginary world ) couldn't make it? idk :/ what about kakeru then? what i got from the last scene is that he's "real" in that world and not an illusion like her friends . he also said that he was different from the kakeru she met at the train in that he's a projection from her true world ( i guess that explains why he knew about the fragments i guess ) my head hurts x.x |
I'm just here watching this anime and saying |

| I just watched the episode. It makes me feel I'm watching a Power Point presentation when they do those weird things with the screenplay. The director should be fired and die the death. |
» Escapism. |
| Ummm.. what? Was it continuation form ep.10 or some past before ep 1? Anwyays this anime doesn't deserve such a good art. -Resident- said: This episode needed more chicken screentime. this xD |
Hiro's talk about knocking before opening a boy's room door while doing those gestures and getting embarrassed is kinda... weird.  |
| Alright guys! get your ____ ready for the ultimate "It was just a dream/nothing really happened" final episode. Enjoy your fireworks. Kenchiin said: The director should be fired and die the death. b-but I like him. We should burn whoever wrote this instead. >inb4: Mari Okada haters switching sides and asking for her to come back. |
| what the fuck lol im gonna go read the glasslip enthusiasts' silly explanations later and laugh the godly music is wasted on this anime ;_; |
| I feel like I've just been trolled hard by PA... |
| A bit random but otherwise a pretty good episode in my opinion, peopleare way too hard on this anime, i really like it :) |
mayukachan said: im gonna go read the glasslip enthusiasts' silly explanations later and laugh Since you mentioned it... >The show was all the imagination of the imouto, who turns out to be an autistic child who was looking at a snow globe. Oh, but they're already going full retarded in animesuki: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=5256704&postcount=690 |
| Touko had the longest vision of future ever. Was she looking at that glass vase the whole time? O.o bastek66 said: Alternate reality bullshit. World where Touko is transfer student and David is local. Another waste of time episode. This. ^ Usually I'd point out every aspects of an episode, but I have nothing more to say. No wait, where was Jonthon? -.- He definitely needs his own spin off after this show ends. |
