| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I just love the smoothness of the OST. Pretty chill episode with Akadama-sensei. The talk about family was pretty chill as well even though I feel some emotions to it. Nice. |
 |
| Damn... Nothing much I feel like saying except this was a heavy but fantastic episode |

| I feel so bad for Yajirou having to blame himself for his father's death. |
 |
| Hearing how things went out with Yajirou was kind of depressing, especially the reason why he's in that well. This was good episode, and I liked what Yasaburou said at the end about how his father's traits are split amongst them: Yachirou with the responsibility, Yajirou with the easy-going personality, Yashirou with the innocence, and Yasaburou was left with his idiocy. With that they're all connected together because of their mom, that was very interesting. |
 |
| So that's why he went into the well... Damn... this show is so heavy on the emotions in a way i didn't expect it. The mystery been solved though. Their father accepted his fate of being boiled and left a message to the professor. |
 |
| Such a heartfelt episode. Yaichiro breaking down after learning that their mother knew all along about the circumstances in regard to Yajiro really hit hard. Step by step buried feelings and hidden regrets are coming to light without the show ever losing its uplifting atmosphere. |
 |
| Y-Yaichirou... T____T My favorite episode so far. I wonder how it will develop from here. |
| This was such a beautiful episode. Really emotional T_T and Dat OST. Yajiro's emotions of regret were really well displayed here. Yasaburo still continues to be an awesome character. And the more I get to know about their father the more I think he's BA. Really love his character. I really want to know more bout Kaisei and see her already. I'm already loving her without even seeing her once O_o XD well seems like there'll be a chance nxt episode :) |
 |
| It still baffles me that tanuki get eaten by mere humans when they can transform into mountains and trains. You'd think they'd fight back a little. |
| good, I've been waiting for Yajirou episode for the longest time and I now it's here so yaaay! anyway, during the flashback scenes I cried a bit but then I cried a little harder when Yajirou keeps blaming himself, and it even got really worse during family talk especially between Mother and Yaichirou. I don't easily cry but damn this episode made me cry like a little brat. When Yaichirou's crying so hard, I was crying along too. Gaaah the OSTs, the mood and everything, too much feels for me to handle! and while I'm crying so hard, I squealed a little whenever they are in their tanuki form... these little furballs. |
 |
| That was so emotional, I teared up a bit. Seeing a calm person like Yajirou and a strong person like his older brother break down really got me. Kaisei helps out the Shimogamo family a lot despite her siblings being assholes, I hope that somehow she and Yajirou get together since it is shown she also cares for him a lot. |

| Hmmm... So, is the implication that Souichirou let himself be captured for the stew pot in order to set in motion the breaking of the engagement between Yasaburou and Kaisei, and thus giving Yajirou a shot at his love for Kaisei? The fact that Kaisei is featured in the previews for next week suggests that may be the case. We'll see... |
| Damn, why is this anime so perfect? Story, pacing, characters, OST, everything is just brilliant. Loved this episode and I can't wait to see Kaisei. :D Will we see her? :D |
| dem feels ;__; can't wait for next week |
 |
| This episode didn't work for me. I can't really relate to the father issue at all since it dances around the issue itself. What is the deal with being eaten? |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Another great episode. So many feels T_T Loved the ost in this episode as well. Looking forward to next week. |

So many heartbreaking and also touching moments in this episode...many tears were shed. I like how we learned about Yajirou, and also how the other two brothers coped with the news of how Yajirou was the last one to see their father. It was also interesting to learn that Yajirou loved Kaisei. The music is great as always, and of course it was especially sad in this episode. Also, Yaichirou crying like that in the end because he understands Yaichirou, that was a really emotional scene. |

| This anime literally gets better and better every episode. Souichirou just became my favorite character in the show. |
| Wonderful episode. The scene where Souichirou said goodbye to Akadama-sensei and the one where Yaichirou cries near the end... omg where are my tissues, bawlfest. Nothing intelligent to say after that I'm afraid :P |
| 28 people and still a unanimous 5 on the episode and it certainly deserves it. I still think there is more to his death than has been revealed thus far, but we'll find out before the end of the series. Must dry my eyes and decide whether this show is a 10 yet. I think it will be up there by the end. And I think I just fell in love with the mother... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

It also helped in making me weep during the entire episode. When Yajirou was blaming himself, I started weeping. And when Yaichirou cried near the ending, I wept along with him. I like the scene where Yajirou became a train. We might finally see Kaisei next week! Females are a bit troublesome in this anime. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Dem feels What an episode. So close to tearing up. ;_; |
| The FEELS this episode!!! |
 |
Alpheus said: At their final meeting this episode, Akadama-sensei asked Souichirou why he came in his “hairball” form, and he replies he’s past the point of transformation. Perhaps tanuki lose their ability to transform when they get to be a certain age? This would tie into the conversation between Yasaburou and that Friday Fellow’s member where the professor says he would rather be eaten by a tanuki as sustenance that whither away at a hospital in old age. Perhaps Souichirou feels the same way, he would rather be eaten in a stew, remaining immortalized as a tanuki of great stature, than have his family and friends remember him later at his passing as a shadow of his former self: old, decrepit, and unable to transform. Just a thought. When Akadama drank with Soichiro, Soichiro had already been eaten which is why he said he couldn't transform anymore. Akadama was drinking with his spirit who was on his way to whatever afterlife Tanuki go when they die. Tengu can see spiritual lifeforms afterall considering their nature I don't know the specifics but I know that rock formation has to deal with some kind of LIMBO/afterlife in Japanese folklore |
| This was a very emotional episode. And that ending scene was just so beautiful. *cries* |
(
| I Love really love this anime. 5/5 It was emotional. The voice acting was perfect. That Crying! |
 |
| Felt bad for Yajirou for blaming himself over his father's death.Turns out that's the reason he's in the well. Yaichiro breaking down and crying when he finds out his mother knew all along was sad as well. Glad they all got something from their father... "When saying goodbye to this world,our father split his great blood into four: the eldest inherited only his sense of responsibility;the second eldest inherited only his easying going personality;our little brother inherited only his innocence;as for me,I inherited only his idiocy." Kaisei appearing next episode. |
| Very emotional episode. Yajirou's guilt was extremely depressing, and Yaichirou's breakdown was just..damn. It's a good thing Yasaburou is around, I think his somber, reflective attitude keeps the tone from getting too negative, and it also brings it down a notch when it threatens to get too positive. His character provides a very consistent balance to the show. Perfect OST as usual. I mean it's ridiculously good, and so fitting. |

| "daruma san ga koronda" is not used in kyoto "bou san ga he wo koita" is correct... http://i.imgur.com/8chKK8fl.jpg 5/5 |
 |
| One word can describe this episode: poetic Next episode: the much-awaited appearance of the mysterious Kaisei! |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The feels from this episode.. It was just so sad. The end almost brought me to tears. |
 |
| if the staff are saying "YOU ARE GONNA CRY IN THIS EPISODE" usually i won't cry. but hey they pulled it off. Yajirou's feelings for Kaisei and how he turned into train n had fun were heartbreaking. the most emotional part for me was when mom said she knew why Yajirou holed himself up in the well. i like the ending statement from Yasaburou too --Sou's blood split into four and how those who are left behind can be united when someone's gone or something--; it was interesting. |
| Well... what an episode. Everything was just really beautiful and the OST definitely helped to make this episode as emotional as it was. This whole series has been interesting so far and I can't wait to see the rest. |
| Beautiful episode, probably the best episode. I shed a single tear. The background art is just so fantastic as well as the OST. 5/5 |
 |
| I'm glad that we got to see some background on Yajiro and I feel bad that he is putting all the blame on himself. "When saying goodbye to this world, our father split his great blood into four: the eldest inherited only his sense of responsibility; the second eldest inherited only his easygoing personality; our little brother inherited only his innocence; as for me, I inherited only his idiocy. What held us diverse brothers together was the love of our mother, deeper than the sea, and parting with our great dad. One major departure can connect the ones left behind." This episode had so many feels TAT~ Damn, I cried way too much. Then again, it's way too easy to make me cry when I watch anime xD |
 |
| -sniffles- It was kind of heartbreaking seeing Yajirou floating down the river. So lifeless. Anyways, the music fits perfectly with the episode. |
 |
| This their most touching episode yet, well done !! |
 |

|
| i'm just crying. can't help but cry and can't stop really. so much emotion. damn |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| "I understand him; that's why it hurts." Sad episode. I envy their family. |
| This episode got the unanimous applause, and the biggest one in the series so far, from fans in Japan for its skilful and meticulous handling of the emotion depth and storytelling. Everyone cried (and that includes me). The art, the music, the character sakuga, the voice acting are all simply marvelous. The sales ranking of the BD/DVD also made a big jump after this episode was aired. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Especially the character developments, they were natural and heaped with feelings. Just a side note, do you know when will they release the ost of this series? |
| i totally did not expect this series to go this deep. best episode by far. so many feels |
