The World is Still Beautiful Episode 12: Homecoming

I don't know, but this episode is just so beautiful. It’s the perfect finale for the series and this season. The lingering conflict from the previous episode with Nike’s grandmother gets resolved pretty well, and man, this episode is just so incredibly emotional. The depth of Nike and her grandmother’s relationship is shown beautifully. For me, this episode also features Nike's most stunning song of the entire season; every single emotion just pierces straight through to the audience. The ending is absolutely amazing. Studio Pierrot really nailed the execution here—from the visuals to the scoring, almost everything was on point. Honestly, even now, I’m still wishing and hoping for another season of this series. It is fully worth watching!!!!!

The grandma's singing is surprisingly youthful but it gave me shivers. This anime makes me want to read the manga all over again. The development of Nike and Livi's relationship is so interesting with the addition of the side characters. [8.50/10]
