Eh... EHHHHHHHH?!? What the heck, that totally killed the happy mood of the episode to then be killed again by the happy ending song xD

But more seriously, that ending was fucking sad. Dang, I knew Shiori illness was pretty bad, but she didn't seem that bad... I guess he'll pass the next days with Shiori. I wonder what link connect the two, did they met in the past? It's pretty much the theme of this anime so it will surely come.

Yuuichi hold his promise in the end, even if that snowman wasn't 10 feet tall :P
The date was really cute, she doesn't have good reflex indeed xD

I would have though that Kaori behavior would have changed after that last scene, but from the preview, it doesn't seem so. What the fuck >=(

This episode was more boring than usual to me. Still liked it, but eh. Maybe it's because I don't care for Shiori as much as I did Makoto or Mai... and Kaori is unbelievable. What the hell kind of sister does something like that?

LAST REGRETS XMAS DANCE MIX!!! WOOT
"Sonna koto iu hito kirai desu!"

Anyways, to be honest, even with the severe lack of development of Shiori in the 2002 anime, I still liked Shiori a lot personally, more so than Mai and Makoto to be honest, as she had a very good backstory and things can just really develop into a climax for her story with great effects. (I seriously am still disappointed of her arc in the 2002 version, when the scenario proved to be so well done in the VN and the Toei anime that things could not possibly just screw up with NO drama and plot development.)

I hope they could change my opinion with the 2006 version. KyoAni did give more time to show that the two of them (Shiori and Yuuichi) having fun together, unlike the 2002 version which only showed the significant part at the very end; the snow fight, the art (which was not shown purposely in both versions) and the addition of the Last Regrets Xmas Dance Mix were definitely awesome. (Really liked the remix a lot.)

I do note certain deviations from the original 2002 version which unlike KyoAni, squeezed everything into an episode; the addition of Kaori personally meeting up with Yuuichi unlike in the 2002 version which actually showed her with Nayuki meeting up with them in the end. (I still nevertheless liked the ending sequence of the original version greatly, hope they will not change much or remove it entirely for the 2006 edition. We will see it next episode hopefully)

4/5, leaving a greater impression on me than the old one.

"You can't put a rock in, okay?" ... who the hell would do that even to such a weak girl lol.
So because she's weak and is going to die soon you'd rather ignore her, makes sense.

Ayu looked like Nagisa at 4:38 when making breakfast.

Yuichi ijimeru? :D
he just gave phone to Nayuki and hurries her the second later :(

nice episode overall, but I don't think it is in my taste so it wont beat Mai arc

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Shiori definitely has better chemistry with Yuuichi than the other showcased girls (I'm not counting Ayu and Nayuki as showcased.) Their date was very cute, one of the best date scenes I've seen in anime to date.

I sure hope that Shiori doesn't die. For one, doctor's aren't great at predicting personal death dates, they can only give you an average death date (unless you are suffering from an acute condition, then the predictions can get a lot better.) Since Shiori has been sick from birth, I doubt her death date is accurate, especially considering the fact that she is energetic enough to be able to walk around and play in in the cold all day without being any worse for the wear by the end of the day (still as energetic in the school as she was at the arcade.) Still, anime diseases have strange properties...
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

glad both Mai and Sayuri survive. I wonder if the police believe her it was a bear?

I really like the remix of the opening theme, when they were playing in the snow.

wtf, so Shiori disease is much worse than I thought. It's too bad, Mai power is temporarily gone. Yuichi could have ask Mai to cure Shiori.

Nice background music during Shiori's part. I hope things resolve between Shiori and her sister. Though I'm still not a fan of this anime's formulaic plot structure.

Oh rip. I guess it's not too surprising to see that Shiori doesn't have much longer to live, but I can imagine how pained Kaori must be.

Resolution for Mai's arc is kinda weak tbh, very convenient "reason" to explain the wreckage that happened at the school? Delinquent smashing through a floor...? Really?

Ah so Shiori's a dying girl, her being at the school seemingly everyday totally makes sense

Of course I was expecting them to drop something off like this sometime, and this was that episode.

Shiori's only got herself a week to live... okay but medical science can't really predict something as accurate as that. Anyways, was never a fan of Kaori and this episode just got me even more further from something like that.

This episode revealing the truth with Shiori and Kaori being sisters was truly so emotional!!! the ending truly almost made me cry, with Kaori making some existential questions and revealing her true feelings. I feel so bad for her and the grief her and her family must be going through. I am so curious to see what happens with Shiori, shes one of my faves. 
Also Akiko is SICK which is NEVER a good sign in this series. Nayuki seems VERY concerned,,, almost in a way where she knows exactly what to do... as if she knows whats up!! Very interested in seeing more character development from Nayuki!!

So that explains Kaori's foul mood and when she got angry about miracles. Yeah, life & death sucks. It's a reality I can't live with. I wish everyone were immortal, or I was never born. I don't want to experience loss.
