good drama in this episode. to be honest the information that Hayami's family is responsible for Hirose's mother's death didn't have much impact on me, but the effects of that on their relationship were interesting to watch. and finally Hirose is going blind again, it was bugging me that he was still able to see. ^^

I seriously thought somebody was going to die in this episode, but it just ended with a solid thrashing.

Still hoping for a School Days style BAD END. Hayami needs to shank some bitches. Unfortunately I doubt it'll happen, we'll see some sort of happy reconcile, probably. :(

This unfortunately didn't make me feel anything else besides annoyance and boredom.
It's so lame. Even if Hirose loses his sight, it will still be lame. It's in its nature to be lame. Why am I still watching this? I have absolutely no idea. But I know that it is lame. >.>

somehow i have to agree to the above, even if it got a bit less lame in the last episodes ^^"

the drama from the truth about the kohinata family felt forced to me, i mean, suddenly he freaks out, when he even made all other people around them accept that she is not responsible for all the things her family did? booh for hypocrite hirose.
that said, reconciliation is the only acceptable option for me, because everything else would be just arbitrary drama without any real connection to what happened till now :/

This series is seeming more and more like a soap opera. It was another lame episode, it almost seems as though the writers really don't care what they do. Was I the only one laughing when they were beating up Kohinata? I mean, that scene may have been one of the most pathetic I've ever seen. They honestly expect her to ruin the whole village? Well, only 2 more episodes left ^_^

Towards the end before Hayami started beating the shit out of the bridge, I totally thought she was killing herself. Then, she just went bonkers.

Judging by the preview for the next ep, it seems Hirose is going to go into an emo stage after he goes blind again. =\

First off i am glad he is going blind also, that is what made this story even more exceptional...

Secondly, I really hope you were the only one who laughed at that... Its somewhat insensitive in this case...

Go plot device Go!

I swear if it wasn't for the random revelation that occurs each and every episode, I would have probably dropped this show a loooong time ago.

Hirose sure knows how to take to the ladies...does this mean Hotaru is back in action? xD

Ah well at least we get signs of a blind Hirose for like half an episode or something. Can totally see him stumbling around trying to find Hayami, insert him being swept away by the raging currents, bad end? xD

The preview itself looked similar to emo Shinji's soliloquy in Evangelion. The preview itself shows one hell of an episode (might also be a nice metaphor of how he goes blind again, yey!) Hope H2O doesn't disappoint and has a soul rocking end!

this episode sucked in my opinion. The drama was overplayed and exaggerated. Big woop about her family harassing Hirose's mom. She could have easily prevented her death now that we know what caused it. I really have to agree with the person above that said this is feeling more like a soap opera.

I also agree with the person above that thought Hayami was gonna kill her self. When I saw her walking to the edge where the water was rushing, I thought she was gonna jump. I'm happy she didn't but at the same time I'm mad that she got the shit beat out of her again. I can only hope they didn't beat her to death. That would be a horrible last image for Hirose before he looses his sight again.

People this is not school days. That was like a one time deal so stfu and get that idea out of your heads. Not to mention this is rated PG13.

this ep was decent and compared to some of the other episodes ..cough 4/8 cough...its alot better.

My issue mainly is that Takuma tells Kohinata that just because her parents led his mother to kill herself didnt mean that anything would change that fact and they could still be together...which turns around into Kohinata running away and trying to destroy the village and all...it was very off other than that it was a decent ep and i think everyone is hating on the series instead of arguing whether this eps any good.

exactly what i was just about to say. that preview looked like the eva "bad end" about shinji.

also, in that last scene, i first thought she'd jump/fall into the raging water but out of nowhere, hirose will end up saving her or something. or even just saving her from the bullies when that didnt happen lol. it was good i was wrong, otherwise i wouldv'e dropped this for being too predictable XD

and yeah, hirose's such a hypocrite...but what do you expect from a kid? :P

still, im really unsure as to how i would prefer this series to end. a good ending would be pretty much lame because that's how most stories end anyway, while a bad end is just...bad. oh well, 2 more weeks and we'll see how this ends like.

is it just me or does this feel a WEE bit like myself-yourself?

I feel the same way, this i supposed to be a bad/sad episode, its not always sunny!!!
(P.S. its raining here right now :P)
Anyway, if every episode was happy and cheery, where would the point of drama be?

now here is a show that doesnt disapoint. it may have been horrible, but its pretty realistic and true to the basic theme of the story. her only salvation is that shes not new to the abuse, but it probably hurt a ton more this time.

well anyway it goes, this has been a very good story.

but damn, the old man saving his trump card....

I watched episode 10. Yeah, I saw that one was coming. Thanks a lot, Hotaru's grandfather. But, I was very shocking to learn the truth about Hirose's mother. I was kinda sad at the ending because that scene was similar to the start of the first episode. Even worse, Hirose is going to be blind again. Poor Kohinata. Hopefully, either Hirose and Hotaru will save Kohinata. Oh, I wish Yui beats 2 guys what they done to Kohinata.

The sins of the fathers motive was lame to begin with, clearing it for a few episodes only to bring it back is not tragic or intresting by the least, it's annoying. I feel like a fool having any hope for this series really, no matter what ending they do will no longer save it in my eyes.

I believe this episode to be full of sorrow, Hirose can not trully accept Hayami because of what her family has done to his mother. At the ending of the episode we see Hayami getting beaten by the two followers of Yui because Hayami states that she wants to destroy this village. If anything, she wants to destroy because of all the pain she has suffered from it, not because of revenge. I'm starting to think that Hayami will die at the end of this tragic anime series

Didn't really care too much for this episode, mostly due to the last scene and finding how they seem to have the majority of the characters really going overboard with their reactions to just about everything in this episode.
