Loved Ones Will Always Watch Over You

If you see this episode, you'll never forget this anime.

How in the world did the writers do it? Even if the rest of the show were medium (it's much better than that), this episode would justify the entire series. Every word and frame of the second half is perfect.

Sometimes when I watch very emotional TV-Episodes I have tears in my eyes. But I almost never really cry until my tears run down my cheeks. I did watching this episode. It's so beautiful and so sad. This show just keeps delivering the emotions SO damn well. One of the most emotional and heartbreaking single episodes of television I have ever seen. And believe me, I've seen alot.

edit: 1.5 years later. This episode changed something inside me I think. Before this I never cried at TV shows and movies, but this episode and changed that. Maybe I've subconciously become more accepting of my fragility. This episode will be in my favourite TV episodes list forever.

I'm an emotional person, I admit that, excellent shows come close to getting me in tears, this particularly excellent one managed to do just that. Honestly I was so surprised, I thought it would be a little tear drop but I fully burst out crying.

What can I say that hasn't been said? That I love the structure and direction of this episode or it's powerful, powerful story, that was both heartwarming and completely depressive. I genuinely thought of my own experiences with my mother, thank god she's still on this earth.

This was something else, so I had to leave my thoughts here. A genuine 11/10 for me. Did I mention I'm sad as hell now? But strangely happy too?

This episode is spectacular, heart-warming and emotional. I enjoy the reversal of expectations in this ep so much.
