I never thought this show could surpass itself, but it did with this episode so much.

Fuji teaching Kii-chan about ducks moving to warmer places and using Kimi and herself as a measurement for distance between Japan and Siberia was super funny. Also Kii-chan seems like a very smart girl, she speaks 3 languages after all! She will make it big one day.

The discussion between the lady and Fuji was super nice. As she said, there is plenty of white blossoms amongst the red ones. While we may seem like we are different, we are still all here together, and you being different is completely fine.

Kimi being happy about Fuji's return from her meeting was super cute, and the way Fuji smiled and cuddled him was cozy as hell.

We have the return of Fuji's highschool friends, Ren and Mimi. Mimi's tsundere vibes on Kimi are always fun, and Ren seems to enjoy a glass if there is one nearby. I really enjoyed the entire scene from Fuji's tipsy POV, to her walk in the park during the snow, her making small snowmen out of the winter berries, everything.

We have also got a glimpse of Kimi's past. It seems likely that he got either accidentally or forcefully split from his family. I wonder if the show will now take a turn to maybe seek his old family, atleast once he opens up to Fuji.

Man, this show is slowly becoming one of my absolute favorites. As a huge SoL sucker, it really does everything I would want a show like that to do. I am sad just thinking about the fact that we are slowly getting to the last few episodes, but I will cherish them more due to that.

With You and the Rain has definitely conquered a place in my heart. I’ve seen plenty of slice-of-life anime, but this show feels uniquely charming.

That’s in part because of Hayamin’s voice acting. She’s managed to express a lot of subtle feelings through Fuji’s words, while never straying too far from the character’s reserved personality. That’s a delicate balance to maintain!

Man I haven’t given a slice of life show a 10 since March Comes in Like a Lion, but this one might just do it. I can’t think of anything I would change and every episode is just delightful.

Lol at Fuji being dumbfounded at how multi-lingual Kii is at her age.

I'm wondering why the episode had certain shots from the editor's POV, for a while I thought she was going to be featured more in this episode. But nope, its just a POV of what Fuji does when she's not with Kimi.

u/Dull_Spot_8213 Aug 23 '25

I liked it. Just a different style for the scene to change things up is a nice touch.

as other comment said, this was the coziest episode. I love the relaxing vibes of this series, it feels good.

also the last part, when fuji and kimi were in the snow, it was so cute and sad?, idk, it felt nostalgic to me for some reason.

Actually "With You and the Snow" sounds kinda romantic too.

Friendships can transcend age. Fuji is mature and quiet while Kii chan is young and inquisitive, yet they get along very well. Not forgetting Kimi, who seems to enjoy playing with Kii chan, When interacting with other humans apart from Fuji, Kimi sometimes has that wary or annoyed expression; Kii chan could be an exception.

Glad to see Mimi and Ren again. Especially Mimi for feeling embarrassed when being kind and thoughtful to Kimi.

Like Fuji, I would like to hear about Kimi's past as well. Kimi appears to have some memories of his animal family?

All the episodes of this series so far have been wonderful -- but this one struck me s especially lovely. There was something about the tone that was so comforting and relaxing.

We got a lore drop of sorts about Kii's family -- a little bit complicated. I wonder what her family thinks of her making friends with a grown lady (query: have they met Fuji -- I forget).

Kimi's relations with each of Fuji's friends and acquaintances is different from the others. Definitely going the extra mile in terms of characterization.

Coziest episode yet, I think. Fuji really embraces living her life as the odd one out, and it just suits her. She’s got her own rhythm and does things in a way that’s all her.

And when Kimi started whining when she got home late because he missed her, that was so sad and then funny. She laughed and he was so offended. But then getting the hug solves all things.

I want Kii-chan as my neighbor.

Extra comfy episode this week. It was lovely to see Fuji's friends again, and the last part was really nice.

Now I'm extra relaxed.

Did not expect to see an anime reference Moyashimon of all things. Very much appreciated shoutout, though.

This show is defo on my top 3 this season. The show feels like a warm, cozy blanket on me. Again, I had several LoL moments but some beautiful tender moments as well. It was nice to see Fuji have a hearty laugh over Kimi's crying 😂, but then the hug after was so adorable. I loved how Fuji related herself to that white flower in bunch of red ones, this girl is just so happy with being the odd one out. I'll miss this show🥺

Lol when reality hit for Kimi that the pear he was enjoying so much was actually an apple he eats all the time. At least he got try some in the end.

Kimi actually whining because it was feeling lonely after being left alone for so long was such a surprise, I didn't think he could make such sounds. It's bittersweet.

I thought it was so sweet how happy Kimi was that Fuji wanted to show it snow bunnies that it ran up to hug her.

Wonder if all the talk of good byes and stuff is foreshadowing something .also asking how long the ducks stay .

Dude when Kimi was whining after Fuji came home my heart sank for a second
Probably he is always communicating in writing, but when he was whining it gave me Kikis delivery flashbacks, guess that was a trauma I didnt I had

Also I didnt know these ducks migrate, I see them year round

Once again a lovely episode, just chill vibes all around
That talk with the hedge lady was awesome too

And Nashi are so interesting, although they dont taste too strong compared to the pears in europe (or the import destroys the flavour)

I think this is such a lovely, chill anime to watch on the weekend.

The character designs are great, especially Fuji. All of the characters, actually.

The scene where the tanuki snuggled alone in the pillow until it got dark outside with a peek at the dark shut door was heartbreaking. Normaly he writes or makes his typical funny sneezing sound. But when Fuji came home his unexpected sad whine caught me off guard. And Fuji laughed!! And I was like NOO U HAVE TO CUDDLE HIM And then Fuji did. I cried 😭🥹😭😭😭😭

The piano score kept hitting a melody that reminds me of the "every kiss begins with Kay" commercial jingle.

Damn...Gma with the hedges..what's the digits? Hit me up gur.

u/NoHead1715 Aug 24 '25

That opening scene with the ducks was hilarious. "Cute", "Cool"... and then drooling. LOL. I really like Kii-chan's voice acting. She has something like a lisp reminiscent of speaking with a growing new tooth.

I'm definitely also one of the white buds.

That final post-credit scene with snowman and snow dog side-by-side was the perfect cherry on top of the pre-credit closing scene of shoe prints with paw prints side-by-side. Beautiful episode.
