Holy crap i wasn't able to identify mayor at all >.> I like how the father was placed in the same exact situation. Although this episode felt like the last one, due to saving the bridge, and it was not as entertaining as previous ones.

omg I loved Maria's idea for wishing on a Star XD
though I think they ran it a bit longer than they needed to.

guess Sister was right to look up to the Mayor ; )

I'd have thought that Ric would have found a way to hunt down and punish those kids by now ; )

'Okay' episode compared to the earlier episodes, imo.
I'd rather see this series (or season) end in a funny and/or random way than in a romantic or heartwarming Disney fashion, which I think it's leading to.

Arakawa hasn't been as funny as the other Shinbo/Shaft comedies. I wonder if it's because I've seen so many of them and I've gotten used to the formula or if it's just because the source material isn't that good.

Or maybe because it's not only comedy based, but with sense and pace?

Is it just me, or was the animation in this episode a bit poor at times?

Loved Stella's squeak when the stars fell. XD

Overall a very good episode, I hope they patch up the ending nicely.

Nice episode, once again Maria upholds the tittle of baddest bit*h. Loved the ending sequence with Nino and Ric, very endearing, not too weird or overly dramatic, spot on. Plus Kappa is apparently a boss'.

Still the one thing that caught my eye is when Ichinomiya looked at Nino and was reminded by somebody in his past, and he was walking away looked at a picture into his pocket watch. Assuming it to be Ric's mother is most obvious, but then again I cant think of anything else.

Wasn't the animation, was the crappy subs you went with (Their raws they choose, wait for Nutbladder!).

Was a bit disappointed him and his Dad didn't talk.

I'm kinda torn. On the one hand, I really would love to see a second season. On the other, if they do make one, but totally butcher the series due to a loss of ideas or something, it would really suck.

LOL, cookie bitch.

Besides that, this was a very sub-par episode. Shaft QUALITY animation, and formulaic "we need to end this, so here is the corniest thing we can muster, even if the core of the show was so wildly not by-the-numbers as this conclusion" I'm guessing that the mysterious man was Nino's father, and I wonder why I haven't thought more about her family situation in the first place. I assumed she was some kind of spoiled princess that left home for one weird reason or another at the beginning, but now I guess she was as sheltered and brainwashed as Riku, but rebelled instead of becoming like him.

^Lol, didn't expect to see you here this early. KSN hasn't released ep12 yet. Anyways, I thought that the mysterious man was the mayor. The voice was the same. But that is an interesting idea about Nino.

Yeah, I really wanted to talk about it so I picked up Nutbladder. I may watch KSN just to see the difference for myself (it might just be names).

Oh...you know what...I wasn't even listening to the voice. I guess it was the Mayor. Damn...I fail. I guess that gives a quicker conclusion, but it was nice while I was thinking of it.

LMAO shooting stars part was really funny. It's too obvious that it was the kappa who saves the bridge because the sound of the voice actor. Nino holding the phone was really funny, and at the end where Ric's papa got arrest by the police cuz of wearing boxers was really funnyxD

anyways, nice episode, hope the last episode will be awesome:D

Anyway, yeah Maria rocked as usual and I loved Ric's phone call. So heartwarming.

Episode 98: - Oh well, nice ringtone. xd
Episode 99: - So everything's over?
