| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man, I was hoping that nothing bad would happen. Finally Rei was happy and actually living her life. I could sense that something bad was going to happen though. I wonder how this is going to affect those around her. |
  |
| REIII T_T |
| WHAT!! why why now!! I knew something would happen coz it was an eccentric ep from the beginning! Rei cleaning her room... changing her outfit!! One question though... How the hell did she drop her flower??!! (X_X) |
| The circumstances of her accident are all a bit odd... I didn't like that scene very much although it might set the show for some interesting final episodes. |
| NO!! Saint-Juste-sama! |
| Yeah, the thing that taints this episode is: why the hell would someone go for flowers that fell into an oncoming train? Maybe it was a reaction type of deal, but eh I don't buy it. The way the episode kept cutting to trains, you just KNEW something would happen though. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Just how many times has Rei tried to kill herself?! And now she dies accidentally when trying to grasp a flower? I feel like her death was totally vain. Ironic, maybe? But I don't feel like laughing. |
 |
| Well, that was pretty weird. |
| NOOOO! T____T |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| O0O HOLY CARP! WHY wut just happened i'm so lost |
 |
| NOOO REI. I thought her death was pretty stupid and out of nowhere but whatever. |
 |
| I knew something was going to happen since the episode was all about Rei finally being happy, but damn THIS IS BULLSHIT T^T |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I fucking knew it. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| I can't believe this...T~T |
| What the hell? She reaches for those flowers by jumping up and away from the railing? It's like she jumped and magically floated towards those flowers. There wasn't a typhoon-force wind either. Ugh. T_T Also, I can't believe Rei's mom would commit suicide in front of her own child. While talking to her at the same time. |
 |
| .... I was not ready for this. i was not ready for this at all. |
| I could see this since the start of the episode. Death flags everywhere. I hoped it wouldn't happen. Oh well, accidents happen, maybe the execution could have been a bit different. What matters though, is that Rei died. Wonder how it will change Miya now. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Are you fucking kidding me? That was the dumbest shit ever. This might ruin the whole show for me (that I didn't think was particularly great in the first place). |
| I'm kinda sad of the way it happened. Dang. |
 |
| Oh my god no. I knew it was coming because of spoilers, and thought her sudden mood shift was kinda suspicious, but I didn't think it'd be unintentional. Rei was really shaping up into my favorite character too. And poor Nanako, she finally scored a date with the person she'd confessed to too. I wonder how Kaoru's going to react to all this. |
| What the fuck. I had a feeling Rei would leave us, not because of all the death flags here but just in general since the beginning of the series, but not like this. Not like this. Jumping after a bouquet. The line between genius and idiocy is very thin. God god i'm going to have to watch something dumb, funny or relaxing after this series. |
| From the beginning I was thinking "Oh plz one happy episode plz it MUST be happy episode". WTF Ikeda, WTF WTF WTF Why can't she die in next episode??? Because of the conception 'no episode without drama'? Or because the author didn't know how to draw a date between women?? WTF was happened? Has she planned it? And, oh gosh, 'I just took care about my sister, blablalba'. Best cousins ever and other crap. What happens next? Nanako death during eating? Fukiko will lose her footing and die? |
| Oh geez, they've changed it quite a bit from the manga version, didn't expect that to happen this way :< And here Rei has finally found her will to keep on living... It's probably even more tragic that way. At least she died with a smile on her face... Okay, but they could have choosen better cause of death for her. I'm pretty sure that even if she fell down on a train in motion, she'd instantly become a pile of meat, not had just glanced off of it and fell beautifully on the ground, having last few seconds of consciousness, during which she was able to reflect on her life, lolz. |

| Man, that death angered me more than anything. For a show that had been handling extreme melodrama so well, to just force her death into the story is just beyond my comprehension. |

| I can accept that she automatically reached for the flowers without thinking but like someone said the way she went down was just ridicilous. |
| I'm SHOOK. Whyl? Everything was going so well.... |
| Wow, what a ridiculous death for an honestly amazing character. Talk about disappointing, like come on. She dropped the flowers so she FLEW off the rails to get them? Jesus. This is the first change from the manga that did not improve upon it. The way she went in the manga had impact and significance but this? Ugh. |
| That was the dumbest anime moment I have ever seen. The show hyperbolized and forced drama a lot but it wasn't this forced, like this time it was downright ridiculous and hilarious. |
| OK it was obvious from the beginning that something bad was going to happen to Rei with everyone being all happy and dandy and whatnot, which is a bad omen for this show I guess. But for her to die in that way?! wtf. She could have died in many other ways, but she died while trying to catch a stupid flower bouquet and fell down to a crossing train?! Since the scene was rather fast and jumping from one scene to another, I hope that a better and more satisfying explanation of her death will be given on the next episode. Otherwise it's just disappointing to see her go out like that. |

| oh my god how! and why! lol |
 |
| Once I saw the platform to cross the train tracks I knew what was going to happen. Black to white,sadness to happiness. Promised date of sort. All the deathflags for Rei where there. This is just too sad, seeing a depressed suicidal person like Rei finally find happiness and then die is just too cruel and tragic. Having previously been in that state of mind before I think my sympathy for Rei is amplified cause honestly I didn't really like her for majority of the series. Edit: In a way I do see how her death was kinda dumb like others in this thread,it was easily avoidable, she didn't have to reach after those flowers, she could have let them go and bought another instead of losing her life for them but this is a drama and this was bound to happen and Rei was the obvious target to kill. |

| hhahhahaha what a f*cking stupid death. anime has been good so far but thats sick writing. well. its not ruining the whole anime for me, but wtf¡ |
| :v |
| weird flex but okay. |
 |
| so unexpected ??????? did she throw the flowers herself or was it actually an accident ??? WTFFFFFFFFF ????????????????????? |
| So Rei and Fukiko are full sisters and not half. Even though it's supposed to be tragic to see Rei die like that after finally being happy, I found it pretty comedic the way they portrayed it. Like what the hell was that, it looked like Rei tried to grab the flowers which is understandable but launching herself of the rails to get them and bounce of that train was pretty stupid |
 |
| wtf man, that was so random and came out of nowhere. i was really digging everything and suddenly we get this total bullshit moment. i literally felt nothing and it should've been the total opposite ps: i think Tomoko is so cute, i wish she had had more developement through the series |
| HOLD UP I DIDNT EXPECT THIS i was like "woah another suicide attempt DRAMA woow coool..." and then she said she died and i was like  NO WHY DID SHE DIE WOAH IM TOO CONFUSED AND SAD |
 |
| Seriously! I was SO excited for the last 6 episodes being cute Rei and Nanako date sequences, because I totally ship them.. but nooo. This! The whole part where the police were questioning if her death was a suicide was kind of odd, though realistic. Kind of shocking to see this in an anime. |
  |
| Rei is my favorite in this entire series, so this episode hurt my heart so much. SHE DESERVED BETTER. |
