This episode confused a bit, but I enjoyed it still.

Riko's singing was catchy. I liked.

Sen. :(

It was an okay episode. Without the history behind Sentaro and his father, there's nothing particularly emotional about this episode for me. As is, Sentaro is just another teenager running away from his problems. I am quite sad that the festival didn't happen, however.

Even though Ritsuko has been with Sen since forever, nobody gets him like Kaoru does. I love their friendship. They understand each other even without giggling like girls. And obviously, as a shipper of KarouXSen, this episode was orgasmic.
Now, why did Sen run away? His sister seems fine, dad seems alright then what? The rooftop scene kinda killed me. I can't imagine how much he must have loathed himself for being the reason to his sister's condition. Glad to see her alright or Sen would really die which I definitely don't want to see.

Can't believe there's one episode left...
..and why do you think that? Was it announced that this would be a 12 episode show?

/* increased rating of the show from 9-10*/

Such a lovely episode! I almost cried in this episode. Hope Sentaro returns! This anime is due a good ending!

Why do I always feel like giving Rituko a hug every time she appears?

So there is another episode left? Yay! to the misleading number of episodes in TV Japan website.

So much drama and so many mixed feelings, but that's on par. Once again I loved the parts involving music.

What happened to the whole family drama in the beginning, wtf. They built that up and just let it fizzled out.


I feel like this is how all the drama in this show is handled. It's a blessing and a curse.

Tears. A lot.
noitaminA has this power to make me cry. First in Ano Hana and then on Sakamichi.
I'll not ask to stop making me cry, because I'm crying with beautiful things. Things that, maybe, make you re-think the way you live.
Thanks for all the people that are involved with the production of this masterpiece. Thank you very much!!

My natural reaction to this episode is "The fuck kind of ending is that!?".

Now that I'm reading responses here, I'm bafflingly confused. It's noitaminA. noitaminA is always 11 episodes...

ANYWAY!

Wow Kaoru is an insensitive jerk. "Actually, Sachiko's in there..." "Oh! Nevermind. Bye!"

The electric guitar playing on the roof was really jarring for this series. After going through this musical experience all season, it just didnt seem to fit at all.

Other than that, fantastic episode as expected, particularly if it is indeed not the finale.

I'm never prepared enough for this anime. When I think I've got it all figured out and can see what will be happening next it takes is and smashes it to pieces. But it's so so so beautiful and powerful, delivers so many emotions during this 20some minutes that I can't help watching it.

Riko's English singing was epic lol. It was all actually pretty good!

Aww dude.
That rooftop scene got me to shed some tears. T_T
I really wonder if Sen will come back or if he does how and when..
Feel sorry for the guy it just seems like everything just doesn't go his way at all. Then the meaning behind him leaving the rosary oh boy... It seems like he feels the world has already abandoned him.

Another great episode can't wait for next week which is I believe the finale? CAN'T WAIT!

So is the next episode the last or? Having read the manga I can imagine them being able to wrap it up in the next episode, but it will feel very rushed (and the last volume of the manga felt rushed enough, especially the last chapter).

What a huge contrast this episode has shown this week
The hilarious transition from Seiji's Costume to Richie's own "Plain" Jazz Band
Sen's Stepfather coming back with a warm remark and big gift
The Band performing Biff's entrance tune "Milestones"
Ritsuko's favorite things :3
And lastly the traffic accident causing Sentaro going missing

It was great

OMFG what was this episode? :OOO

Touching, so damm touching!

Family drama, Kaoru makes Sen stays, that´s a great great friend!

Love Richan singing, never thought she could sing so good, they should have made it ealier D: Also, love this song "My favorite Things"

But really, almost cried because of this stupid car accident! Firt I thought Sen was all hurt, sure it was good it wasn´t him, but I like Sa-chan too ;.; And supid Sen is gone, how are his family and friends going to be now? I want to hear they playing...

Oh, they didn´t play at school, so the rock band must have had sucess... don´t like those kinds :P

And I wanted to know what happend to Jun .-. Maybe Sen is going to meet him or something like that \o

Yeah, unless they do one of those timeskips like "And we haven't seen him again..."

-3 years later-
End scene with Sen coming in and CONCLUSION.

Personally I don't mind either way. I mean Sentarou is my favorite character in the show so I really would like him to come back but at the same time itsvero is right where it would be a ton more powerful if he never came back again.

"He once told me the reason why he wore a rosary around his neck was that he felt that if he lost it, he would be abandoned by the world"

I love that insight into Sentaro's character, and it would seem that we can interpret this as him choosing to let himself wander and abandon the world around him. However, I do think we will see him again, especially since his character is so vital in this SnA universe.

Oh god when I thought Sen had died I had a mini panic attack, and it was such a great twist for him to leave anyway since its almost like he really did die if they never see him again. I really do hope he comes back though hes gotta realize that he has people around him who love him and he only has to accept and return that love, hes just a stubburn butthead is all :p

It is. And it's a double-sized episode also.

Tears started to well up on the hospital roof scene. These two carry such pain and it came out now.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?
