EPISODE REVIEWS
It was a bittersweet and compelling ep. Wonderful writing from Takahashi-sensei as the plot was totally absorbing. The ending was melancholic and depressing, as people truly value others when they are gone. The pretentious tone certainly increased the thrilling romantic feelings. The somber weather nailed the atmosphere of the visual. Not expecting the cameo of Shiratori and the other tenants to be in here, too. Also that struggling actor resembled Miroku of InuYasha with that hair tied.
Can see some of familiar character from previous episodes- it was just a cameo. The episode had blend of comedy, emotions and most importantly, cherish the loved one's. Might find bit weird with old man's behaviour but realisation made him to accept the situation. Overall, good episode with slight slow pacing
I'm starting to see how this anthology connects its stories through the people living in the same neighborhood, with familiar faces appearing from previous episodes. It was another enjoyable watch, blending comedy with melancholy in a way that lingers. It also makes you reflect on the people you've lost and wish you had one last chance to say goodbye.
