| Man, this episode went from adorably innocent to tears quickly. Kou is the hero this anime deserves this season though. He's just been such a strong figure for others. I do hope Nene can mature more cause she's still very childish this season imo. |

| Yea manga readers wasn’t lying when they said this ep would break me. Wow what an episode. Peak TBHK. “He’s not so bad. I like him” LETS GOOO HANANENE NATION WE HAVE ARRIVED 😭 that stargazing scene was so fucking cute omg I love them so much. Amane is 1000 percent hanako and just trying to live a normal life in this dream world like Mitsuba. He’s the one who suggested it to Mitsuba so no way he’d lose his memories too lol. “Let’s run away together to the real world” ok Nene I see you, secure your man! Mitsuba and Minamoto’s fight was so damn sad man. You can feel all the pain in Mitsuba voice and his desire to just live a normal life after seeing what he had before he died.. but this isn’t the way to go about it. It’s all a fictional perfect world in which everything happens the way you want it to. That’s not life. Life is full of ups and downs and complications and that’s what makes it special. Minamoto being willing to die and be with Mitsuba forever is so sweet 😭 idc that’s a confession in my books. “I’m going to get you out of here” ahh what an ending, can’t wait to see how they break out of the painting! |

| You can see how much Minamoto trust Mitsuba to directly fall from the window to his death knowing he would do something to prevent it, that was nice to see both duo speaking together to resolve this world issue and it seems like they'll be able to be back to the original world next time |
 |
| Mitsuba broke me the first time around. He still breaks me. Tfw you realise you're Mitsuba.... imagine having a friend like Kou. sigh |
| I guess Hanako was the real one after all, it did seem odd that Mitsuba and Tsukasa knew they were in a fake world but Hanako didn’t, that really was a masterful scene when Nene figured him out, basically a confession too which was very sweet. I also loved Hanako’s comparison of the star Antares to being a ghost, I’m not the most knowledgeable on astronomy but that was a metal description, it is pretty insane that we could be looking at long dead stars because of how light travels. But as good as that scene was, it was nearly overshadowed by that amazing confrontation between Kou and Mitsuba, what an absolute rollercoaster. You have Mitsuba who just wants to live like the real version of him did, and this fake world is the only way it can happen, and then there’s Kou who can’t be satisfied by a fake world no matter how good it seems, because it’s simply not real. Both arguments are completely understandable which makes the situation hurt worse, but man the way it ended was absolutely peak, I don’t use that word often because I feel it’s overused, but if there was a time to use it, this is it, Kou being so dedicated that he’d throw his own life away to prove he will help Mitsuba and then being saved instead… man it’s so good lol. And the wild part is we aren’t even done with this arc yet, I think I should be thanking Shijima for creating this fake world so we could get all these amazing moments at this point lol. |
| This is the type of content I needed more in S1. Still, what is the stance of Nanamine senpai in all of this? (Not another day of me ranting about a favorite side character being an anime-only) |

| Mitsuba and Kou are gonna kill me 😭😭. Now I understand why everyone were so crazy all over X, this episode was everything. Mitsuba wanting to save Kou even if it meant dying?! How can this ship not be canon?! Of course they are 🥹🥹. This season is 🔥🔥 |
 |
| I was getting worried back there that the end game would be Nene and Kou dying just to be together with them, but I guess that's still on the cards for Nene, and her spending eternity with Hanako. |
| Such arcs always make me ask whether the author is going to revive Hanako and Mitsuba at the end of the story. @massyyl Yeah. Fandom Wiki even mentions that she first appeared in the 7th chapter of manga. |

@Laplace_kun She is not an anime only?
| @massyyl I mean, I am an anime-only and she still is one of my favs despite the lack of screentime or arcs. |

| You know this show is actually amazing when they progress the story and its not just silly slice of life stuff |
oh picture perfect the arc that you are 🙏😭 |
I kinda stand with Mitsuba, like does it really matter if they're living in a fake world as long as they're happy? Kinda reminds me of Naruto's Mugen no Tsukuyomi. I don't understand why they always hate the idea |

It’s clear what she meant if you speak Japanese as well as the context clues like her touching his face. |

| - Nene and Hanako's alternative reality -> Fluffy rom-com with slight drama. - Kou and Mitsuba's alternative reality -> Angsty soap opera with supernatural elements and BL undertones. Man, I know I'm clearly in the minority here but goddamn is Mitsuba annoying as hell. They should have let Teru exorcise the shit outta him a couple episodes ago. |
| I wish Nene and her friends will come back safely in their world ! |
| Emotinals conversations!!!! Both wants save their friends not killed!!! kekeke |
| As the meteor shower gets underway, it becomes clear that Yashiro wants to avoid killing anybody, and even confesses to Amane that she likes Hanako, being all the more convincing to want to return Hanako back to normal. But turn the perspective to Kou and Mitsuba, and the latter flashing through his memories of the real him against the fake him who's more than happy in the fake world, telling the fake Mitsuba to be happy is just illogical, much less Kou not wanting to accept Mitsuba living in such a fake pretense and not living as an actual human in the real world. The desperation of Mitsuba just to have his wishes fulfilled, fueled with a suicide attempt from Kou himself to remain faithful to the apparition. Misunderstandings may occur, but what matters more is the understanding between friends, to want to be their true selves, and get out of Shijima's fake world. |
 |
| It seems the fake world arc is coming to an end because they seem to be leaving the fake world now but without killing Mitsuba or Hanako? interesting to say the least, Well joever, I thought they were making Mistuba into a villain again but he's just a chill guy still and Minamoto and Mistuba are still friends however Minamoto tried to kill himself so yikes. Pretty nice episode if i say so myself |
