| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hina ;_; Poor girl. I just want to give her a hug. Adapting chapter 52+, it shows more of her past as we learn about her character better along with a girl named Chiho. Rei's narrative really captured the feel of her past. Hina is such a kind girl imo. Bullying is a recurring social issue in this franchise so I'm not surprised that they are exploring it again this season. |
 |
| And it was bullying after all...Hina wasn't the main target at first; but since she tried to protect her classmate she got involved. Hina is a really good girl and bullies ofc go for those; especially when all the other supposed "classmates" just ignore them if they get bullied. It's good that Rei was there for her, like she was there for him. Not to mention her family; her grampa is great. Now it's time to go kick some bullies' arses. |
| Why my Hina has to suffer all this!!! All to help a friend!! The Hina teacher, i "hate" her!!! |
| To say this episode was powerful is an understatement, amazing episode. I thought I was prepared but boy was I not. What Hina did for her classmate Chiho is admirable and takes real courage, I have real respect for the girl. Even though she was scared that she'd become the next target she still chose to do her best to save her friend. That's real courage. While those bullies need to be put in the place, the teacher is an even greater monster. I was honestly teary eyed the entire episode, however watching Hina cry and yet declare that what she did was not wrong was very moving to me on a personal level. She deserves the highest amount of praise possible. I like how Rei comments on the fact that sometimes the most random of things can save people, that's is more often that not a very true statement. The lady bird naming origins was also really emotional, Hina returning home to a smiling Akari and Momo was very heartwarming. :) Grandpa at the end was awesome, he kinda did what Hayashida did to Rei last season in telling Hina that what she did was amazing and that he's proud of him, kinda of a reference to what was said earlier in the episode. The randomest of things can save people. The entire final scene was very heartwarming and uplifting. Made me smile. <3 I hope Rei can figure out a way to help. The soundtrack was amazing this episode as well. |

| Phenomenal episode packed with so many tears! It's been a while since one of the sisters were heavily featured in an episode and it delivered. Poor Chiho and Hina. They don't deserve this at all but I'm super happy that Hina did the right thing. I was super stoked to see Hina physically retaliate when everything boiled over. She's such a kind and sweet soul so I feel awful for her. Hopefully the bullying will calm down in the future and I hope Hina stays strong. What made me even more happy is to see a more angry Rei. Although it was brief, the fact that he was thinking about ripping limbs off of middle school girls was awesome. Thankfully Rei and the Kawamoto family made Hina feel better at the end. It was nice of the reclusive Rei to reach out to Hina and spend the day with her. Grandpa praising and showing how proud he is to Hina. Then Akari making all of Hina's favorite foods for dinner and Momo running up to Hina to comfort her. Excellent episode! 6/5 from me and I'm so proud of Hinata! |

| ;_; Nothing more. |
| Man, this episode broke me, I held back my tears throughout the whole episode. And grandpa was really awesome, grandpa for GOAT. Best episode of the season so far. 11/10 |
 |
| I hate bullying. But well DAMN this was one hell of a interesting episode, God. This is why i'm watching this show. |
 |
| I was tearing up by the 5 min mark and completely broke down by the end. 11/10 episode |
 |
| Really weird episode in structure, with all the shifts in narration and animation. It definitely looked like something hard to adapt, and yet it was good. |
 |
| What a heartbreaking episode. (;_;") Best one of this season so far! Poor Hina-chan... But it's admirable that she was so brave. (Yeah, it wasn't really right to attack the other girl, but I could totally understand her.) |
 |
| Well there goes all my feels for the next month. A seriously powerful episode that was equally hard to watch. I couldn't stop tearing up throughout the whole episode, especially whenever Hina (and Momo) cried. I liked Grandpa's words of encouragement at the end, and I hope Hina gets through this (with Rei's help though, I think she's in good hands). No one should be victimized simply for doing what any decent person would do. This episode also reminded me of why I hate the "shame society" that Japan embodies. Bullied kids don't want to speak up because they're afraid of being shamed and ostracized, so they hold it in, the bullies aren't held accountable for their actions, and it continues in this vicious, and sometimes deadly, cycle. It's equally disgusting that fellow classmates, and even the damn teachers of all people, willingly turn a blind eye to avoid getting involved. If even the teachers are that negligent, it's no wonder why bullied kids don't bother going to them for support, and even after a bullied kid tells them what's going on, they offer little to no help with their shitty responses. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| So powerful, this was an amazing episode. |
| I was crying just with the few first minutes of the episode, I'm such a crybaby ;_; That poor girl, Chiho, deserved better. This episode broke my heart in any sense, just to fix it at the end when grandpa Kawamoto congratulates Hina for his bravery, supporting her in her suffering. I have grown a huge respect for Hina with this. I liked her before, but after seeing how she, unlike her (useless) teacher and classmates, stood up for her friend, and how she was crying, not for what happened to her, but because Chiho had to move to another school due the bullying she was suffering and she couldn't do nothing at the end, she has gain my total respect. Is noticeable too how the cats, who are normally depicted as talking animals in the more comedic scenes, were shown here as mute, normal cats, indicating how serious this was. The visuals when Rei felt like if Hina's suffering was affecting him too had some pretty awesome visuals. I love how many details Shaft is putting to this project. Regarding this, I loved too how Rei was so decided to help Hina through the whole episode. The boy who is usually meek and doesn't do nothing when people do bad things to him, wants now to help the people he loves without second thoughts. He may not care about himself, but he will not hesitate to support his saviours in their darkest hours. I wonder how he is going to solve things, since I don't think the problem will be solved that easily, and Rei acknowledged it wasn't going to be as easy as beating the little shits who made Hina and Chiho suffer. I was already hyped for this, but now, I want even more to know how this will end. |
 |
| no bully pls i'm curious how Rei decided to help Hina later |
| Thou it was kinda obvious what was going on from last episode, i cried, i cried so hard, hadn't cried so hard to an anime since S2 of Shouwa Rakugo. This episode had too many feelings, too many lessons, so much sadness but at the same time so much of that heartwarming feeling. I loved how determined is Rei to help Hina, even thou he has been shy and very insecure of himself most of the time, he wanted to do something for her, to help her, to overcome even his own limitations to help the one he holds dear. The Grandpa, oh the Grandpa. That was such a fine speech, held too many truths, i'm glad he got to tell her she did the right thing, and even if she's suffering for it right now, in the long run is her who is ultimately right. It's easy, it's comfortable to be a coward or to not act, but she did what her heart told her to do and it was right. I felt so moved through out this entire episode, Momo crying feeling for her sister, Akaki trying to cheer her up through food, Rei looking out for her...i'm moved, i'm sad but i'm also happy. Loved it. My poor heart...  |

| Episodes like this make my heart hurt too...and cry...Yet, you can't stop thinking what a lovely family they are and how much they love and support each other. |
| If I was in their world with an actual Death Note in my possession. I just need Hina to tell me those sluts' names and I'll delete all 4 of them. |
| those cats under the table be like oo some real shit be goin on hahaha very nice very nice |

| I think this series might have reached a new peak. This was an A+++ episode. |
| What a beautifull episode. 10/10. Cried multiple times. I do wonder, Are schools in Japan really this bad when it comes to bullying? Even the teachers don't do anything.... |

| With such an amazing episode I feel tempted to give this whole series a 10/10. Heck, I don't even know why I didn't do it already. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| When i was watching this episode i though if i were hina i would put pencil inside that bullies eyes. And they cant see light again |
 |
| An emotional and sentimental episode this week, with the issue of Hina's bullying handled both tactfully and realistically; it's great to see that Hina has such a strong family support network (and also Rei) to comfort her in this situation, and all in their owns ways. I was especially impressed with Grandpa Kawamoto's sppech to Hina about how she was completely in the right and should have no regrets about what she did to help her friend, even if it's turned the bullies onto her instead. Brilliant episode, and I'm interested to see what Rei decides to do about it next week. |
| Fantastic & heartbreaking episode. Best one so far. Hina & Momo crying brought a few tears to my eyes. Those bullies are terrible, but the teacher is just as bad for not doing anything. Rei being there for Hina was great. He has changed so much. Awesome that Hina stood up for what she believed in. Love how the Kawamoto Family is there for one another. Hmm wonder what Rei is going to do about those bullies? |

| What a beautiful episode! Story, visuals, soundtrack, melancholic atmosphere... everything was magnificent. I have to admit i shed some tears while watching it. |
| Just a few seconds in and I had already teary eyes and it stayed like this until the very end. Tho I gotta say that grandpas words turned my wet eyes into a river and I pretty much looked liked Hina. Bullying is indeed a very nasty thing :S Hina did great. Like everyone else I can just say that this episode was so unbelieveable powerful in a negative dark way as well as in a positive bright one. The last minutes with everyone on the dining table overwhelmed me with cheerfulness. This episode will be hard to top tbh,but I'm looking forward to more. |

| I knew what was coming but the adaptation was so great I cried for the second time. |
 |
| Just passing by to say that this episode moved me to tears, actually I cried 4 times during this episode. I dont know if it's because I have been feeling very emotional today or because I have been in the same position as Hina |
 |
| Good episode and I felt sad for hina but hina cried tooo much...this was the only kinda boring ep in anime for me..and I adore this anime...but still love the animation...so colourful so warm so melancholic... :') <3 |
| Seeing a lot of comments about how "hurt" everyone got. Well, you gotta lot more hurt coming your way. For like, over half the season. |

| 3 gatsu no feels is back! |
 |
| I know literally everyone is posting this, but honestly, even just from sheer relatability alone, this episode was a 6/5 episode, that's NOT EVEN counting the fantastic animation, storyboard and pacing to enhance it. This episode cements the emotional roller coaster, known as March comes in like a Lion. |
| What a tearjerking episode. The visuals during some momemts was amazing. Hina was very courageous defending Chiho. Not many people can do the same thing that she did. I loved it when her grandpa said he's proud of her. Rei is going to try to find a way on how to deal with the bullies. It was nice of him to look out for Hina. |
 |
| This was painful to watch (not the Hand Shakers kind of painful lol). Goes to show how it's actually hard to not be a terrible person as being terrible is justified by playing the victim card. Full props to Hina. Stellar art and animation this episode. A little too much crying for my tastes although understandable, but damn did this episode nail it. |
| I need sleep. |
| Holy shit this episode...may have been the best of the series. Rei is still being developed as a character as well along with the Sisters and it's fucking brilliant. "I want to find them, and rip them limb from limb." HOLY SHIT REI!!!! I freaking loved that part. I kinda wished he realized him just being there would be a huge help for Hina. I liked the whole bit about the ladybug flying towards the sun as well. Next weeks episode should be interesting. Mainly because Rei says "Well I'm a guy..." Then what sounds like Hina saying "I' a terrible person." (or something seductive along those lines lol) |

| Damn, Hina is a real friend. She and her friend didnt deserve to get bullied. Was pretty sad Chiho ended up moving away. I hope those girls that bullied them get a taste of their own medicine. I also really liked the scene where Rei goes after Hina. Just a very beautiful and fluid looking scene. Very great episode overall and I look forward to the next episode. |
