Really? What part of Takuma's past was revealed in this episode? It just seemed as though he was suffereing delusions the whole time, and Hayami dying was just so damn out of the blue.
Just wtf on this one, unless you want to explain it to me

That his mother didn't commit suicide or abandon him but instead gave her life to save either him or another little boy I was unsure which.Originally Posted by narutosharingan
As for the ending I'm left speechless this whole thing was out of left field and I felt it was overall a trainwreck of a ending. I mean they killed Hayami out of nowhere for no reason you could have had her save the boy and resulted in the same effect instead of him coming out of his trance just in time to see her made into train pizza.
Ok I figured that's what they were getting at. But like you said, completely out of left field as far as Hayami is concerned. They could have had her save the boy and live. But this was just stupid.
I watched the first episode, and I thought it was absolutely beautiful in characters, animation, camara angles, dialogue, plot, everything. Then around episode 4 I started to get a little bored, and now I'm in episode 6 and it's not doing a very good job catching my attention. So I ask you guys who bothered finishing, is it worth it to sit through the remaining 6 episodes? Or should I just watch the last one.
The initial story was actually quite beautiful, similar to the greatness of Key even, but the selfishness and igorance of the characters is something i've never really liked to watch

If you're up to six, you've sat through the worst. It only goes up. Seven will be a BIG surprise, and really the turning point of this series. I say, watch it.(but that's just me. We're getting some mixed reviews here.)
I thought it was more realistic(and emotional) to have her do that. After all, it shows exactly what happened to Takuma's mum. And if she did survive, it'd be hard to justify why Takuma's mum couldn't dodge the train while she could.
The reason why both couldn't dodge it is exactly the same instead of letting them finish the motion of saving the child. In both cases Takuma called to them and they turned around to look at him causing them to be hit by the train.
I'm glad we all agree that they should have simply made Hayami save the kid and live. It would have both made for a better ending and it would have given a nice contrast to what happened to his mom providing both the shock and realization of what happened to his mom as well as giving him a path to move on with a better life. I'm thinking the writers just figured thats what a normal author would do and he wanted to have a twist and so instead we get her brought back from the dead a random number of years later.
It wasn't emotional for me, it was more of a what are they doing sort of thing. What's the point of revealing how someone died to have another person die in the same episode the same way? Just because Takuma accepted how his mom died doesn't mean that Hayami needs to die as well. They need to do the same thing to Hayami to show how Takuma's mom died? That's some odd logic for me.
Wow. I'm sad it's over, mostly because that was a terrible ending to a wonderful series.
Maybe I over-analyze too much, but when I see Hayami brought back from the dead so many years later, I think "wait... her body was destroyed by the train, what did they do? Make another and age it, then stuff her mind back into it?" Sorry, that's my inner mind essentially telling me there's a plot hole big enough to solve the landfill problems of the United States.
I wish they would have done something realistic... either Hayami survive the train incident by some miracle, visit at the end as a spirit like Otoha, or never show up again. Oh well, if Otoha can cause Takuma to fall into a crazy world where his uncle dresses like Madonna-clownsuit, then I suppose anything is possible.
I'll just pretend the entire series was a dream. Aaaah much better.
