Damn, that Tsukasa is so intimidating. Very thrilling episoe with some of the storytelling and mirror world.

To me, he's one of the most unpredictable entities/ghosts in the series. The VA did a fantastic job at adapting his personality imo.

Dude what the fuck did he just rip his heart out? Hanako Kun just became Eva on us real quick

OMG the way Hanako hugged Nene when he got there, I ship so hard

This ep felt so short, so much happened and there was never a dull moment. I really hope there’s some way it making Mitsuba remember who he is and to save him. He’s been through so much and just deserves peace.

Kou-kun’s the real MVP with his quick thinking trying to help him remember who he is

One episode to go, can’t believe it’s been 3 months already since this started. I hope we get a season 2, but it seems pretty much even in JP twitter. One of my faves of the year for sure

Mitsuba is a big soft spot for me with this show. Whenever they play that sort piano time and show shots of Mitsuba from before my waterworks start going. Every time, this episode especially since we got to see Kou confront this new Mitsuba that Tsukasa created. New Mitsuba is really creepy to see with the wings and claws from the third wonder. Morphing over those powers using them himself. Tsukasa is a psycho to manipulate Mitsuba like he is. making that fake apparition and putting Mitsuba soul onto it. Broke my heart to hear Tsukasa say that the Mitsuba who loved and died and became a ghost is gone from this world. He's never really coming back and it's the biggest tragedy. Had a bit of reassurance when new Mitsuba signaled to Nene but still it's saddening to know we won't get Kou's Mitsuba back. Have to see how the finale goes now that this arc is seemingly wrapped up.

Ah man, I'm sad that Mitsuba's never going to be exactly the same, but hopefully at least looking through the gardening club book would help him realize his old passion of photography!

Hmm, on the topic of Tsukasa, he really is a strange character. He's done some really messed up stuff, yet he also seems to actually care about the ghosts, at least in a super twisted sort of way. I wonder if Mitsuba will be hanging around the Tea Party gang for a while?

As usual, however limited they may be, the Hanako and Nene interactions were on point! ^-^

ALSO, CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE HOW AMAZING ALL THE ROUNDS WERE?! MITSUBA WAS JUST TOO SCARED TO HANAKO'S KNIFE!

AHHH I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!!!! LAST EPISODE!!!! AND IT'S CALLED LITTLE MERMAID WHICH MEANS THE MERMAID FROM EP 1 IS PROBABLY GONNA COME BACK AND SCREW AROUND WITH NENE!!!

This show's like destined for a season 2 announcement, right? Right?!?!?!

Wonder how long Mitsuba's gonna stick around the Tea Party trio. Pre-anime fanart makes it seem as if he joins Bathroom trio permanently to make it a quartet

Mitsuba never gets a break. Too bad the ending of this arc was kinda anticlimatic. Would have been cool to know more about apparation number 3 (especially since he had such a cool shape in the opening when it was teased).

Why is this anime doing this to me?! I thought they might be able to save Mitsuba this time but Tsukasa is using and abusing him all over again and he isn't even the same person he was before. It broke my heart when Kou reunited with Mitsuba again 😭

I was thankful for the comedy this episode otherwise it would've been a bit too heavy. Next week is the last episode (Nooooo) so I'm looking forward to the finale but also anxious about the prospects of another season!

Definitely read the manga!!! The anime has skipped some parts and then re arranged them and has skipped over the most important arc and one of the cutest chapters ever (ch. 29) I love this series so much so I don't want to hate on it but the anime hasn't done its justice in some parts...

This episode shows how twisted Tsukasa is, nonetheless he is still my favorite character.
Title for next episode is the little mermaid and I don't like that, are they gonna put that mermaid arc for the last episode, it was supposed to happen long before this arc. I was hoping they would do three clock keepers arc for the next episode because it would really fit I'll wait and see.

The arcs are in a pretty strange order but if the next episode will be the mermaid arc, I'm sure we'll get the other missing arcs as well with the possible 2nd season.

Looking forward to the last episode.

Pretty okay episode. The drop in budget was very noticeable, but overall the adaptation of the mirror arc was good enough for me. Also.... they're doing the Little Mermaid arc NEXT???? Not that I don't want to see it, but that is a very strange way to adapt the manga. XD

This eps is amazing!!! Felt like I saw the whole ep in ten minutes!! :D It was that good!! Definitely one of my favorite episodes! I really love seeing Tsukasa, he is so intriguing!!! Hanako hugging Nene was so cute <3 It really upsets me that there is only one ep to go... & surprisedly its the little mermaid arc. I thought they skip it for good because of a scene in ep 9 where Hanako apologize to Nene about the donuts. Not that I am complaining, I am happy it's getting animated. I just hope we get a second season, there is so much material that has to be animated. Please, Lerche, make my wish come true >.<

i loved this episode, seeing this arc animated made me squeal so hard. but the thing that made me sad was the fact that mitsuba didnt recognize kou (and he was so HEARTBROKEN) but i have faith that everything will be alright in future episodes (if they make a season 2 that is)

Nene rescued by Hanako's twin brother Tsukasa is a rarity. But transforming Mitsuba to take over the Third Apparition just shows his cruelness.

Needless to say, Hanako and Kou asking for help through Tsuchigomori and Yako to cross their Boundaries to rescue Nene out of trouble, and help Kou reconcile with Mitsuba.

However, when both of them reached the Boundary, the damage has been done. Nene is put to sleep, and Mitsuba becomes one with No. 3 with Tsukasa's own concoction, so much so that it caught Kou angrily off-guard.

Despite the comedy of Mitsuba's reason still fledgling within the new-earned position, Kou's confirmation that Mitsuba being brainwashed by Tsukasa's magic so much he doesn't recognise him, is a total heartbreak.

But it seems that Mitsuba CAN STILL struggle with Tsukasa's power while being pretentious about it. What's his game plan to overthrow Tsukasa, and get them back on track.

For Natsuhiko through, his trio of Sakura, Tsukasa and the strange addition of Mitsuba just sold him as a third-wheel. Nice for post-credits.

The finale with the Little Mermaid arc, surely we can't just stop here without a Season 2, aren't we?

Bullying Mitsuba knows no ends, it seems.

Average episode overall. As I said before, I don't really care about Mitsuba but at least, the bits of info such as Tsukasa being able to kill Mysteries within their domain was interesting enough.

Anyways, one more episode to go. Wonder if there will be any second season announcement next week.

So the Mitsuba that Kou once knew is truly gone, and the one we have here was created by Tsukasa with a piece of Mitsuba's soul. So that's why he has no memories, but he still has Mitsuba's soul, he is still Mitsuba. He acts like himself, and he even gave Kou that same nickname because of his earring. So it's great, but also really sad. I love that Kou made sure to grasp his hand, even though it was no longer human, and to introduce himself though. And also how he was still trying to understand how Mitsuba must have felt, even before meeting him again. And the way he told Tsukasa that Mitsuba isn't his toy was also great. I'm kind of mad at Hanako though. Tsukasa trampled over Mitsuba and he just shrugged it off without really caring about how it affected Kou or what Mitsuba went through. And it might be his duty or something, but now the first thing he tried to do was to "deal" with Mitsuba again because he is a "pure apparition" or something. But he already exists, and he already feels. Hanako also shows no sign of wanting to deal with Tsukasa, who is responsible for it all, either. So I'm glad he couldn't do anything for now, and I believe that both Kou and Yashiro are going to stand up for Mitsuba against Tsukasa like they already did. But I'm worried. Mitsuba is totally under Tsukasa's control already, and I don't see things getting better. I wonder if Hanako would be so lenient with Tsukasa if he knew that he almost crushed Yashiro's head... A pity there's only one episode left.

I'm seeing a lot of manga readers being baffled by the fact the Little mermaid arc is the last episode (as it's apparently a really strange way or rearranging manga arcs) and there's no way they can wrap up things like that, so as an anime only I can't help but hope we do see a 2nd season sometime soon in the future.

No problem ^ ^ and yeah they did skip it and are coming back to it in the next episode they also skipped a bunch of other things so I'd recommend starting from ch.1 :)

Tsukasa's characterisation is really intriguing. He's more than Hanako's polarity - he's like an infection, just trying to survive

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

So, the real Mitsuba is dead but a copy of him is an ally of ur heroes in the antagonist side. The battle was a little anticlimactic but well, I cannot demand more.

So, this arc was designed to save Mitsuba's neck for keeping his existencies in the world of human. Hmm, such a long arc with a hectic pace to concluded that thing. Once again, Hanako's just being useless in front of his brother. The reason still unknown, for fuck sake! Even with the purposes of Nene. Was she just an accesories there? Without anything necessary for the plot sake? In my point of view, her attendance there was a complete useless. Because, its almost Tsukasa worked to save Mitsuba. Even Hanako Amane just wanted to get rid of him. What a disaster twist, i might confused. However, since the next one was its final. I am considering it as an okay arc. Not gonna mention how Natsuhiko could survived, and Sakura plotting use of this show. Oh, well, lets end this. I may conclude my scores after watching this.

Oh, i forgot, poor that previously raven spirit that acted as a number three. With the way Tsukasa did a job there, by taking his life pretty accurate and easy, i doubt the status of Hanako Amane as number seven. Was he really a leader on that group of apparitions? Just, stopped being pussy in front of your dead ass brother!

it was a bit boring, but not at the same time since tsukasa and hanako were there, also because there were some touchy moments with kou and mitsuba.
hanako and tsukasa are what keep this anime going for me~

the OST in this anime is amazing~ so is the OP and ED ~~ hanako and tsukasa's had outstanding voice acting <3
i just learned that hanako's voice actor voiced both hanako and tsukasa.

feel like the emotion between mitsuba and kou could've been executed better if the directors prioritized sentiment over comedy. some jokes and transitions were thrown in between their interactions with no effect. also, i am really noticing how stagnant, although pretty, the animation is as pointed out in last episode's thread. there isn't much movement going on at all other than lipsyncing :(
