| yes where is the main plot? i think something is a bit not right in hatchin head LOL |
| lol . . . Sad first love . . . No but seriously, what happened to the assassin? Or rather, either of the assassins (doubt the dude with the hammers is dead yet). |
 |
| So sweet to see Hatchin in love and Michiko finally behaving like a mother and comforting her at the end. |

noteDhero said: I really did not like this episode. I liked it in theory, but in execution it was just beyond terrible. The story was far too rushed. They tried to pack 2 episodes of content into one episode, and as a result, characters were completely nonsensical in action and motivation. The pace was jumpy, with an equally unsettling direction to frame everything, and the dialogue was just plain bad. Honestly, I don't see the point in giving Hatchin a love interest if it's only going to happen in one episode. We spent what, 3 episodes on her first friend? Bad. yeah man hatchin pissed me off, I didn't get it. but I guess she is a child after all... |
| I'm actually really confused... did he regain his memory and forget about her, or was he faking?? I also didn't understand why hatchin was acting the way she did... Also, why did she keep grabbing her stomach? |

| Boy meets girl - check Awkward conversations - check Art shifts to pastel renderings - check Pop songs over touring the city - check Sudden revelation that splits the two apart - check But oh no, they do care about each other! - check I guess it was trying to be a fluffy romance/drama for an episode. The genre shift was so sudden that I'm still not exactly sure how to process it. |
| It's easy to forget Hatchin's only 10. Why did she do the things she did and say the things she said? Who knows? She's a kid. She doesn't know how to deal with emotions she's feeling for the first time and is trying to cope. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The ending with Michiko comforting Hatchin was really sweet, the story this episode was cute & sad...bit of a slow episode, but I definitely enjoyed it. :) |
| An eh episode. |
| I adored how organic Hacchin's feelings were. She'd obviously never had a crush before so she didn't know how to react or handle it. Why do you think kids hit or pick on each other & act like they hate each other when they like someone? It's too much going on in her head. I thought her pushing him & telling him to get a way was cute & natural. I mean poor kid, but I adore Hana. Sad about his accident tho. |
| Aw poor Hatchin |
| Doing what one likes is the right of the powerful. |
| Lenine goes after Hatchin We learn the truth [spoiler]"Aww dayum, that's sad"[spoiler] |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Sweet moment at the end made this episode worth it. |
| Bizarre character interactions with Hana. Just the way she reacts and the dialogue between her and Michiko. So strange. Also confusing, I was beginning to think she knew Lenine from sometime of screen. |

crazy_eights said: i think this episode is what pisses me off about the series. i like the series alot but then episode to episode there is not continuity. how does she go from sitting in a car with an assassin who says she loses to being ok the next episode. i just wish they would wrap up one idea properly. I was also left out of the loop at first, since I was expecting to see what would be after the end of episode 14, I was seeing episode 15 thinking someone had made a mistake or something. About the series, no, I only felt it with this episode, that is because episode 14 ends in that supposed cliffhanger and we are left wanting to see what cames after. This aside, lovely episode, Hana was so cute here, first time experience "love", but the episode also had that sad note as a conclusion... |

| I like Hatchin but I felt kind of disconnected from this episode. I'm not sure why, since "Hana has a crush" seems relatable to me. And yet, it didn't really touch me. Again, it might be because usually I prefer there to be more dialogue. la208566 said: If there's one thing that's beginning to trouble me, though, and that's Hana's relationship with Michiko. We're 15 episodes in, and although Hana has begun to understand Michiko more, they still have the same hot/cold/hot/cold relationship that they did early on, when you think about it. Something needs to happen as far as character development or this is going to drag on. Yes, I share this concern too. The only difference that I can see is that between slapping each other and stomping on each other's feet, they now share a hug once in a while. I really wish they talked to each other more. |
| some of the comments on this episode irked me quite a bit. i was expecting the resolution to the cliffhanger left on the last episode but i'm now convinced this anime is more about their journey than about a predesigned plot. it is good, though. the episode seemed a bit rushed but it gave another angle on hatchin and her relationship with michiko too. i guess the boy here wasn't what's important but the deepened bond with michiko and that actually made sense by the end. it could be better written and directed, but it's not perfect. i'm actually starting to think the big reveal by the end is gonna be michiko being her mother and not them finding hiroshi or anything like it. i'd be okay with it anyway. |

| Where's Jair oldman though? Did he decide to retire :P I'm kinda confused of this episode Why she decided to hate him or his guts? Then cried when his "memories" gone, even though he remembered her a bit Maybe this have some kind of deeper meaning or philosophical stuffs, but I don't think this anime is that kind of anime |
"Signature removed"   |
| Although the amnesia was a bit clumsily handled, it was still a (bitter)sweet episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Awww the first crush and the heartbreak that comes with it, poor Hatchin having such an awful upbringing and not really having that much guide when it comes to love and attraction she was basically a mess that tried to guard herself because is the only thing she knows she can do just to be unable to really do it this time in such unexplored place; it was basically the Hatchin's version of Michiko falling for that married guy. The ending was so beautiful. |
