After watching episode 5, I've still got little to add to what I've said already. But then, a picture's worth a thousand words, right?

Just watch ep5 and it's a...beach episode! It was kind of "moe" stuff with a twist on "group of cute girls does cute things". And I must admit that damn last scene in MocBonalds made me shed a tear.

Episode 6 surprised me with how heavy it actually got, but since it's the penultimate episode, I guess I should've been expecting that. I'm probably just bad at taking hints, because it also surprised me how emotionally invested I was even though I've been doing nothing but showering this show with praise for 6 weeks.

On a totally unrelated note, this show is still amazing.

Get too real and depressingly relatable to a lot of geeks in reality.

Despite catering to niche guys fans. I'm surprised japan didn't go the ecchi pervy vote, so it's a thumbs up for me and not the other guys.

Well, it's still a JDrama, usually it tends to roll on large ham towards the end to pull a big finale.
Or maybe they just ran dry on the subject...
Anyway who played the brother ? Guy seems familiar...

Yeah, episode 6... wow.

I felt like I held my breath for the full 5 minutes that scene was on. The whole series and especially this episode built up to that scene perfectly.

I've been encouraging toku fans to watch this due to the lighthearted fun nature of it, now I'll be doing so to non-toku fans because it's just an excellent show. Although painful to watch at times, that's only for all the right reasons.

Gôta Watabe. I felt he looked familiar too, so had looked it up.

Subs for finale is out. Didnt feel like typical big happy ending. It's open ended and grounded in to reality. Her friends move on with their lives and she rekindle with her mom despite still haven't settle or accept their differences. The mom had a tough life and didnt want her kid to be bullied or be the odd one out. The heroine just want to be herself. She finally gain some allies and friends, but it ended too real excluding the wasted cameo. I was expecting v3 to play himself and give a stan lee speech about toku. Anyway, the first 5 was great and the last 2 was the dramatic and reality hits.

Where did you get to watch it with subs for ep 6 & 7? I've been looking at all the usual places but all I get is a raw ep 6.

same here I still haven't found it. Though after reading that post it sounds like a depressing episode. (kinda spoilery, actually)
