Wow...
Never saw that coming.... This sure supeasses my expectations.
I though it would be one of those absurd storys where everyon is on the same car and suddanly they all die, then he (Reiji) has to take care of her for plot reasons.
This anime really is something.....

And there was me thinking Kodomo no Jikan was simple titillation.

This episode... this episode right here is why I'm watching this show.

Reiji just became one of the most fascinating characters of the season, and the entire second half was downright tragic. It never forced you to cry. It already expected you to, and god did I cry T_T

Anyone in doubt about watching this series still must watch this episode. This, this right here, is why I love anime.

Sexuality with cousins in Japan, though uncommon, is not as strongly frowned upon as it is in America. Saying Reiji is f*cked up in the head is a dodgy accusation. There is a lot of proof in this episode demonstrating that the circumstances of Reiji's past have left quite a few mental scars. Either way, we know now that Reiji sees Rin as his own daughter. It will be interesting to see where things go from here.

So Renji didn't get adopted by Rins mom? I thought he said he was adopted in the manga or did they change it for the anime or did I miss something?

This episode is probably the best in the entire anime because it almost made me cry and all the other episodes were ruined by the censorship. I still prefer the manga though. ^_^

That's the common assumption. At the very least in the Anime the record says Rin was taken in by a relative (which is true), and he tells Aoki-sensei that he was adopted by Rin's mother. Officially, he wasn't adopted, or so claims the Anime anyway.

One of the single most touching episodes I have ever seen.

I identified with Reiji's story right from the start and it only got better, picking up with every element that was introduced and concluded perfectly with that soft insert. My every expectation was fulfilled and surpassed. From changing state of mind, super-loli Rin's comic relief and even a short but sweet sex scene (and doggy style incest at that).

I can now appreciate Rin's situation more. Last episode I would have given the thumbs-up to some good 'ol loli-raep. Now Daisuke can go die in a fire if he does touch her. (Yet I'm going to be fapping to Rin doujins after... and Aki if I can find some...) Thankfully the next 6 episodes won't be a total failure due to a complete 180' in content. Though it better be good when it gets to the dramatic moments.

One of the moments that hit me hardest was Aki's last words. Reiji would give anything just to tell her that she doesn't need to apologize, it should be him thanking her, and apologizing for not becoming a man soon enough. She gave him, and Rin a reason to live, Aki gave them a life, a future.

It's a shame, these anime that concentrate on one thing, not realizing their potential in another.

Tomokazu Sugita was superb. I can only hope Reiji gets more screen time.

1000/1000

Edit: I noticed this episode had a high drop rate... I guess some people are only in it for the lolis.

Sigh. It's sad to know such a great episode exists in an anime that most people may shun me for watching, even though I'm not watching it particularly for the loli ecchi (they're missing out for the hilarity anyway). I'm highly glad I picked up this series after watching this episode, it had me choking up a little bit. :(

Everyone else's comments are pretty much on par with mine.

Are you sure this episode is of Kodomo no Jikan??? Well it is since it had Rin... and Rin is still perverted... Hahahahaha Really if it wasn't for the bath scene i would have completely doubted this episode was really number six of Kodomo no Jikan 1st Season...

Man their past is so saaad!!! Once I think Reiji asked himself, why do you make that effort to be so happy Rin? Well it's all because her mother taught her to be always happy... Or so it looked like that, anyways her mom was amazing since she never gave up and tried to give the best for her little daughter... Give her all the love she could receive... and Reiji... Reiji's appearance was really lucky... for both parts. I mean if it wasn't for Aki Reiji would be a drug addict or a booze addict or he could be already dead... yeh mainly Aki but Rin also did her part to finally save the poor Reiji... And I'd be as depressed as him since he lived such a sucky life with his parents...

And just when things where going perfectly fine, Aki falls ill and in the end dies out of cancer... damn such a painful way to die... and Lung Cancer nonetheless... Man that's a real reason to be pissed and extremely depressed... Can't understand why such a sweet woman could die of cancer. Well that happened...

So then the good ol' Reiji is Rin's uncle? crazy... thought he was her cousin or something else not her uncle. Interesting... And awesome to know that he actually see her as his daughter! I could careless of Aoki now XD he can rot in hell now XD and Reiji... stop doubting and destroy Aoki if he dares touching Rin! XD

I knew it!this isn't about lolis,it's about family!

**feels relieved**

dude this episode was....undescribable :D,it was amazing to say the least!

so that's why Rin wants so much attention,and I don't think she loves sensei on more than a father-daughter basis

poor Rin's mom :-(,it's not fair...
i find it funny btw that she who is a side character had more development than Rin's classmates xP

5/5,i wish i could give it more :p

I loved this anime before for a different way but this ep... wow.

Hard to believe something as touching and deep came from same anime, and yes, I did cry. It added a real sense of drama, which although unexpected, was very good.

At first I didn't know if I was supposed to be weirded out by the cousin love but they really seemed to love each other and somehow it just seemed right. Little Reiji really stepped up and became the man, and I am not just saying that because the whole scene at night with Aki. I can see why he is so protective over Rin, and maybe see why Rin has a little issues of her own (although there is nothing wrong with being a loli ^^).

wow did not expect a romance-drama twist to the series. entirely different from the atmosphere from earlier episodes. Nicely executed.

Reiji pimping is EPIC :D.
oh the seiyuu is Tomokazu Sugita ... that explains things
now next epi. will probably be a bit awkward...

Did the director of this series take a sick leave for a week? This episode was so different from the previous ones. Although I didn't like that cousin to cousin love relationship, but we finally get some character insights, at least in Reiji's part. Glad to see a whole episode dedicated to Reiji's past. It's gonna be interesting to see how the story goes from here, especially his dislikes against Aoki.
