| Very awesome episode. Was a shocker when he almost fell. When they both started crying at the end 8*( |
 |
| No matter how I look at it, I felt like this episode was a retarded-let-down one for me. First of all Satou didn't even killed himself when he had no goals and was a full-load hikikomori, when he didn't even knew that Yamazaki was living next to him. Then now out of nowhere, right up when he had this shining light of creating a game (He had found something to believe on, something that gave him strenght to keep going straightforward) he sudenddly realizes that his life is trash when hes at the verge of death without even wanting to. He lied to everyone until the moment they were going to jump, HE FUCKING DIDN'T WANTED TO DIE YET HE WAS GOING TO. What a patethic human trash, he had so much potential to become someone else and the writters just screwed it up all, it was totally unlike the character to want to kill himself, an extremely unpredictable change of mind out of nowhere. The writters screwed it up. Horrible... but very horrible episode. |
| Misaki's speech was hilarious. |

| Bah i got small tears in my eyes from this episode =\, this episode was tense and powerful for me. :S |

DarkBlue said: You have to be pretty stupid to stay quiet in that situation, probably Satou wouldn't even protest if someone forced him to suicide agains his will. karasawa said: How he managed to not say anything at all for so long was a feat of stupidity. Don't underestimate the power of peer pressure... also, he might not have thought of it himself but he was pretty close to that type of thing himself, I think, which is what Yamazaki was talking about in the car. kawaiisakura05 said: i kinda wish they would have had someone jump. i thought the fact that no one died after all that hype was kinda disappointing. and i like the new song.:) I thought it was the opposite of disappointing, I liked that no one jumped, I was relieved. Isn't it obviously better this way? I'm not entirely sure about the old man, though - I guess he can't do it in this situation, but was he really convinced? Btw - that kid was really going to commit suicide over something like that? Hmm... I like the new song too, I think - I'll know better after a couple more episodes with it. |
lostty said: SunSir said: I wish he jumped and survived; it would be EPIC!!! :) That's what I thought would happen, especially when someone mentioned how surviving a fall like that could only happen in manga and dramas. All I thought was that it'd be perfect he fell during an anime! haha! I also really liked the old ending theme more. Yeah agreed i thought he would fall and survive. i also like the old theme better, but this ones okay, not as cool though. loved the episode, it's scary how much i can relate to the characters. can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| Not too fond of the new ending theme. But great episode. |
| I actually had tears at the end of this ep (manly tears though!). I feel I can relate to a lot in this anime, maybe thats why I find it to be such a great anime. I smell another 10 if it keeps going like this. |
| I loved it, I almost cried myself when Satou and Misaki were crying at the end. I've had a life like Satou's til very recently, with 28 months like that so I feel this anime relates very well to the me of just last month. I had thoughts kinda the same as the others when things went wrong for me but it gave the right message that if you dont keep living, how can you know what is around the corner for you? |
 |
| This anime... ... is so depressing :( |
| so many twists , one of the most interesting so far.. |
| omfg effing dramatic and hilarious he was like the first to be hesitating to jumping off the cliff and in the end he really wanted to, then got scared as he almost actually fell l0l GF |
 |
| Like some other people have already stated this episode was so intense, probably because I can relate so much to Satou's situation. But I'm sorry I have to say it... I HATE MISAKI |
 |
| For the love of God and all that is holy, Satou is the most useless character ever!! LMAO Heh, he's the freaking star of the show, and he was not the one to dissuade them from suicide. And even when the rest of the group have decided against it, he again would do it just cause Hitomi was pulling him along? And even when Misaki and Yamazaki manage to convince him not to do it, he accidentally slips? And then what, he cries like a bitch! Ha! Totally fucking useless IDIOT!!!!! 5/5 for epic uselessness! |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| Old ED > New ED Well produced episode there. |
 |
| Misaki seems to be pretty much of an asshole. She needs Satou to feel better because he is a bigger fail in life than her? D:< Also they changed the OP a bit (old was better) and, fuck no, the ED is complete new. I will listen to the old ED on YouTube now... (But I guess they changed it too fit the mood, but still, the new one is bad.) |
| Awesome episode to say the least. During the first part I thought that Satou was going to grow a pair of ball and save his senpai while everyone else jumped off the cliff. But everyone came to their senses and that Satou wasn't involved in that disappointed me. Also, the sudden (and pretty funny) turn of events of Hitomi getting proposed, while stopping her from suicide, leaves Satou, the only guy that didn't want to end his life, ready to jump in an instant. Nice Ending song. |
| Haha, I was like, "Oh, they got talked down..." and my heart actually skipped a beat, I think when he went "ALRI-" and fell. I was just in shock... And then I saw his hand gripping the cliff... Then it was just dissapointment. Surviving that would have been freaking epic. |
| Yay for medicine guy! XD |

| that was a reallly creeepy episode~! |
     |
| anyone else thought that these suicide episodes were kinda lame? up to this point, i was more or less able to relate to the story but these last episodes depicted an event which is really improbable in someone's life and i couldn't relate to it. |

 |
| im kinda mad about sensei's boyfriend coming back all of a sudden and propsong like that. |
| I disliked this episode quite a bit. Then there were that scen where Satou realise that he wanted to die. I wanted Satou to hug Kashiwa when she was standing on that cliff, but he didnt... Instead he realise that he's trash. Which both Misaki and Kashiwa confirmed with their actions. I felt kinda sad for those pathetic girls and I even cried for my failed superhero. negative1111 said: love that sarcasm ^.^Suicide is fun for the whole family :D like playing pictionary but without the family politics |
| The amount of irony and dramatic tension in the last few episodes were incredible. Starting from the rising actions where Satou discovered Misaki's secret, to the failure in relationship between Hitomi and her bf (forgot his name), and finally to each person's realization about life, the entire arc is kept in suspense. The ending was also powerful. Misaki's speech was surprising to say the least. Here's to hope for more episodes like these |
 |
| Fantastic and dramatic episode. When Satou tripped was a complete omg moment for me. I wasn't ready for that at all o_O |
 |
| i was actually waiting for the slip of death, i knew it would happen, it just had too. |
     |
| Yeah, what kind of screwed up logic is that! |
| But was calling the police such an unthinkable act? I mean the police could've stop them before they arrived to the cliff, no? just so much for the new ending, it sucks compared to the first one... |
 |
| I just finished this episode and I see a lot of people had a "feel" for this episode and I just cant say the same. Everything that lead up to the ending signaled something dramatic was gonna happen, but it just want there for me. The way the episode was executed kinda annoyed me/pissed me off. I guess its more of Satou than anything. Like dude knows he wants to die, but carries on like its nothing. Then after the bf proposes to Hitomi, he decided to kill himself. Like cmon. And the crying at the end? God damn, are you even more of an idiot? I couldnt tell if that whole scene was suppose to be a funny moment or some soft/sad moment. I was waiting for Satou to speak up and start going off on everyone before the jump, but the guy in glasses did it instead. That was suppose to be Satou! At least I think he shouldve been. I guess the series had to be extended in some way. Not sure what the writers were thinking doing this episode. The series so far is great though. Definitely relates to life. Edit Whoever mentioned Narm is spot on. This episode has Narm written all over it. |

| "Let's get married!" "WOAHAAAT!? Alright, that's it! I'M DYING!" It's kinda funny at how the suicide party did a complete reversal. I was also expecting an accidental fall, but the slip made my heart skip a beat at how quickly it happened. And crap, that yell at the end was incredibly gut wrenching. I really feel for the man. |

| Cathartic episode. But Misaki's reasoning for liking Satou is dumb. 'You're more worthless than me so let's fall in love!' What??? |
 |
| Wow. That was certainly ... interesting. I really thought they were going to do it :O LAME HITOMI, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE THAT GUY! Getting married WTF?! You were supposed to be with Satou!! T_T Misaki's speech to Satou ... WTF?! She's crazy, man. They better not end up together D< Glad the other guys decided not to do it either. Looks like they will join the show? OP sounds really similar (almost the same actually) just no trumpets? Shame. New ED is pretty nice :D Oh yea, it was weird how they were crying and then it was like, "Welcome to heaven!" O_O |
| Wow... Just wow... What person would commit suicide just because he's too timid to speak up O.o. I didn't like the fact that he was suddenly all melodramatic and serious about jumping himself. Cmon man, pull yourself together. Misaki's speech was kind of double-edged. Not the best way to persuade someone I suppose. It also felt quite f*cked up that Hitomi would drag him into this situation and totally use him as an excuse to commit suicide herself, and then totally turn his back on him, because her boyfriend proposed to her. That is just dark. Finally done ranting, still love this anime though. You almost forget that you are watching an anime at times. |
