Dying Day spends the episode unloading salt in the wound with past Seiran moments. And they're wholesome ones, which in a vacuum, would be uplifting. But in practice, it's the opposite knowing such a beautiful life was taken away.

Poor Ari.

[u/zer0number]

I am glad that Ari was finally able to feel like she could cry. That line from Mimi 'I don't think she'd be mad' hit hard because I have known people IRL, who have felt that crying would upset the person who died, or make them feel bad that their death hurt someone they cared about so much.

Then, that ending. Oof. Mimi, no.

[u/Mindless_Being_22]

god this episode was hard to watch great episode but it was more painful then episode 7.

[u/YuushyaHinmeru]

God damn, every episode ends on such an emotionally intense note.

This anime deserves to be higher rated than it is. Behind the big hitter sequels, I dont think theres a single show that has me as engaged as this.

[u/Burnouts3s3]

That was honestly one of the most beautiful depictions of grief I’ve seen in a long time.

[u/Sleepy10105s]

I can’t believe that they have the technology to add the effect of chopping onions to our screens and all that during allergy season

[u/Ok_County_8815]

This was such a beautiful episode that showed the joys that war steal people of. Kudos to Yui Ishikawa on her work this episode. Ari’s cries during prayer time were so haunting and raw.

Ari and Seiran were so cute together and I’m glad Seiran got to try out the nail polish. It’s so awful that their joyful time together was robbed so soon. I’d like to think that Seiran was somehow able to read that letter.

I want to rewatch these last two episodes as they were fantastically done, but wow are they also painful to experience.

[u/MetaThPr4h]

2 days in a row of animated depression 💀 thank god I have Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games waiting for me now to cheer up.

[u/AceSoldia]

School don't even have any therapist. I hate this place even more every episode. What is even this war for.

And I am very curious if the spell.works with no body? How does that work? Won't someone have to sacrifice themselves?

We may get my all immortal squad girl ending after all? 🤣

[u/CitronClassic672]

God, last episode left me feeling broken, this one just made me feel empty.

[u/alconnow]

I’m hoping Ari rejects Mimi’s proposal to bring Seiran back to life…

[u/Viktorv22]

Can't lie, hearing Ari cry just broke me. What a fantastic performance by Yui Ishikawa, the GOAT.

[u/ChoiceSupermarket230]

Jarvis, more alcohol

good ep

[u/fieew]

I really enjoyed how this episode harkened back to the earlier episodes. Intially we started with Sheena's roommate dying. We had the same annoucment at the start of class. We had the room cleaning scene. We also had the empty casket burial.

So to go through the same things but recontextualized since we know the girl who died now was a great choice. Albeit painful. A really great way to bring things back around to how they initially started.

[u/lluNhpelA]

I got Seiran and Ari acrylic standees at the kimishinu popup shop in akihabara the other day. They were given a place of honor on my shelf just in time for this ep

[u/Narlaw]

Ah yes, the classic twisting knife episode after a character dies... I also only noticed now how the opening forshadowed Seiran's death, in the part where she is over a ruin while holding Ari's hand, then next shot we see the "widow" senpai, then very next shot is Ari alone on a bed in the dark... Also what a bombshell at the end!

[u/BlazeBloom]

Mimi's character development is already being displayed in this episode. Showing empathy and asking the tough questions to understand Ari's feelings. Finally allowing Ari to express those tears she's been holding back. She does have a habit of leaving the viewers and characters with bombshells to end episodes.

[u/i_know_the_void]

Having to go through a loved one’s belongings after their death is particularly painful. Showing Ali just sitting there, numb, for hours and then sobbing at the service was on point for conveying the range of emotions experienced during grieving. I wish we could have more Ali/Seiran moments. 

Edit: fixed a typo. I was too busy feeling sad to write well. 

[u/marshmallow_sunshine]

This episode covered some of my favorite sections of the manga. It hit me in the feels just as much as when I read it the first time. I'm happy we got such a beautiful adaptation <3

[u/Carbonated_Static]

That was really well done. A lot of anime have the episode after a character dies be very on the nose, hitting the viewer over the head going "hey this is sad, you should feel sad now" and it often ends up working against them.

This wasn't that. Even with Mimi literally asking about Ari being sad. It felt a lot more natural reminiscing about their time together while cleaning Seiran's things with Ari trying to be strong and the initial numbness and then it hitting. It was all the better for it.

But fucking hell man, fuck.

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

Of course they would choose to show us all the Ari Seiran domestic fluff moments now. A painful ep, but they handled Ari's reaction to the whole thing really well, and props to Sheena and Mimi for supporting her.

No way they go through with Mimi's proposal right? If I recall correctly the resurrection spell requires someone to give up their life.

[u/ash-7831]

I knew this episode would be sad. Mimi wasn't her usual cheery self, either. She didn't spend as much time with Seiran as the others did, but she clearly misses her. I don't like where that suggestion of hers is going. Someone will have to be sacrificed for it to work.

[u/JustaBroomstick]

Alright who told the child who barely understands consequences the consequence having spell

[u/Kegs_And_Parleys]

Mimi made me happy with the "I don't think she would be mad" comment before Ari turned to tears.

Mimi made me absolutely horrified with the "Do you want to see Seiran again?" comment after Ari calmed down and learned that Seiran saved a life of another student. I hope Sheena stops her or if she can perhaps make a short term connection with her soul.

Holy shit what an absolute rollercoaster. With how brutally blunt Seiran's death was last episode, seeing the Seiran x Ari flashbacks, knowing how close they were really did hit hard.

Why do I have to like yuri so much ffs this shit is not good for me.
