| We've got three ways to go now ... happy ending , sad ending and of course crappy ending. I'm realy rooting for Banri and Koko but right now i can only see two ships sinking badly : ( . Well i hope i'm wrong |

| Man what an episode. I feel bad for Banri. He doesn't want to go back to his former self. sigh* At least his friends will be there for him when he regains his memories even if he forgets them. |
The higher I get , The lower I'll sink. |
| I hope this doesn't end with the bullshit "I regained all of my memories again because of the strong feelings of my friends for me". Really, if he regained his university memories without any logical explanation then that's just bad. The production of this series is getting worse every episode so the only thing that can save this is the conclusion. I got a bit teary from seeing Kouko cry and Yana's speech though. I hope Kouko continues being Kouko and get a well-deserved happy ending. |
iDara09 said: Somebody give 2D-kun a medal. ^^^^ Why the fuck is Banri freaking out just because he doesn't know that place? Impressive is that the ending of this episode made my left eye cry, something that did not happen while watching anime during months. That's something impressive. Awesome anime *-* |
| Oh god.....oh god....how will this end??? I'm a wreck.... |
 |
| Hopefully he ends up with Nana-senpai next ep. After this anime is done I'm definitely going to watch Nana. |

Yes because amnesia allows you to clearly remember your whole life up to a fixed point in exchange for forgetting recent memories right? So logical and medically proven. They should just go hit the reset button for every amnesia patient IRL - I mean gaining most of their memories back is better than them being stalked by a ghost and flip-flopping between two fixed and clearly defined sets of memories, right? /sarcasm I am a Koko fan too - Banri getting -all- (present, past, and 'ghost') of his memories back and becoming a whole person who still loves her -IS- her happy ending, and it's totally plausible because the show was well into fiction and way past logic when they introduced his BS version of "amnesia" in the first place. |
| This episode and the last one brought my rating up. Everything dramatic actually led to something, good or bad, unlike the first half of the series. (atleast thats how I feel.) BUT DAMN is it ever depressing. I thought he might get his memories back, but I didn't think he'd lose his current ones =[. Seeing Koko being all stupid and sad and depressed because of it is so depressing. I hope next episode something click and he remembers Koko. Or atleast, remember he loves her or something or anything llike maannn. Maybe when he sees the video it'll kick start something??? |
  |
| Holy damn shit, Banri is gone... I was really hoping somehow for an happy ending, but I can't see how it could be happening. I guess it will be a bittersweet ending. Yana is such a bro :P 2D-kun too. The beginning scene was so fucking sad. Of course Koko was forcing herdelf, at no moment she looked relieved. I will miss this serie, I loved the fact that the romance didn't fuck around and take 20 episodes to resolve. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Damn...so many ships sinking. I found the bromance between Yana and Banri to be the most poignant moment of the whole series. Bromance is the best mance. In the final episode Mitsuo would be the one to stabilize Banri, Banri would altogether ditch having relationships and become a womanizing stud with his best wingman Mitsuo who also stops looking for long term relationships. They would spend the rest of their lives macking on women drama-free. Those years of his life after he made this fateful decision with his bro Mitsuo would be known as his 'Golden Time'. It would be forever legen-waitforit....DARY! |

| as much as this series has pissed me off for different reasons, it still manages to get so many water works out of me!!! I don't know what it is... this episode especially was touching... can;t believe it's ending next week! |
| last week's episode was SO dramatic... but in this episode, at the end, when post-accident banri finally faded away... he was having such a heartwarming spiritual moment of being in the present... somehow it made it that much harder to bare, I dunno! I'm still crying over everything that just happened. I'm hoping for a happy ending :') |
| Fuck Myself.. Why did i predict that Banri won't ends up with anyone... I don't even wished for that but.. i got this feeling that this prediction will happen |
MyReminiscenceMar 21, 2014 10:06 PM
| Dear golden time team, please don't dissapoint me and leave us with some bullshit ending. If it's not kokoxbanri this will heavily affect my review. By a pretty big margin. |
| Eh. I'd think if she really loved him, something like losing less-than-a-year's worth of memories shouldn't be too detrimental. Unless he suffers from a chronic decease where he keeps losing his memories sporadically due to having had that accident, they can just make new ones after he "forgets" that one time? The ED does suggest she goes to his house so maybe she WILL do it like that. |
Archlyte said: Fuck Myself.. Why did i predict that Banri won't ends up with anyone... I don't even wished for that but.. i got this feeling that this prediction will happen Yeah I predicted that too around maybe the 3rd or 4th episode, but not this way man... My real question is, is this realistic. Does this stuff really happen in real life with amnesia? |

That's the problem. I don't even get why would he lose his present memories when his past memories come back to him. That's just bullshit. And if they do add more bullshit like getting his present memories from nowhere then that will be the most bullshit story development ever made. |
| Looks like a happy ending for now. Again with the annoying Banri of the past, just 1 more episode...gotta endure. It felt weird that he lost his memories again at the end. Damn, 2D-kun and Mitsuo are such nice characters. Nana-senpai rocks!! |

Paper_Raccoon said: Haha that's basically how I was too. around the middle of the series I wasn't against BanrixKoko anymore, and now I just want them to be together.In the beginning of this series I HATED koko and wanted a depressing ending or something like that, but now I just want banri and koko to be together PLZ I DONT WANT A DEPRESSING ENDING ;_; I loved this episode. But I have the feeling I won't like the ending... |

But I have the feeling I won't like the ending... New guy here. I agree with your comment on this. At the start of the series, I was not certain about Koko & her obssession with Yana, (& then when she started dating Tada). However, as the series went on, I did notice that Koko grew up quite a bit & her character began to improve. I especially loved how she started pushing Tada to face his past, (when his first reaction was to run away) & then her talking about his past with Linda openly showed that she had accepted his past relationship with Linda & that she had moved on. Granted, the ending of this episode was kind of predictable, (and sad at the same time), however I am holding out hope for a Toradora-esque ending to this series, (fingers majorly crossed as this anime deals with mental health issues & who knows what the writers are up to). A perfect ending for me would be to see Tada & Koko get back together, (would be great if Tada got his wish & had both sets of memories, (maybe a combination of the notes he gave himself, Chinami's video blog & meeting his friends face-to-face), Yana with Linda & 2-D kun with Chinami, (who I absolutely adore). Another thing I am curious about, is in the finale if they will show who it was that hit Banri & knocked him off the bridge. I have suspected the man who was in a relationship with Linda's brother's fiance, & would be interested to see that story closed, (but can live without it being discussed). I am excited for the series finale & can not wait for it come out. |

ricchan15 said: If you've noticed this is not your typical amnesia. Starting with the fact Ghost Banri is a thing, so that itself break any logic regular amnesia may hold, because it will not apply here. And yes it is for plot's sake, and let's just say it is not a bad one at that, as it creates quite the unique cesspool of conflicts around. Either past or present, which one? I've never really seen a series try to pull that route and I've got to say the author has done a pretty darn good job at thatAww this episode killed my feels. Especially 2D-kun, Koko, and Yana-san. I kinda cried. Something I've been wondering though - how does regaining your old memories lose your new ones?? Is this a condition the anime invented for sake of plot?? Maybe he has a form of anterograde amnesia? It doesn't really seem to fit though... Is this going to end how I think it will? Banri gets his memories back at the end? Predictable, but I think any other ending, even a bittersweet one, would leave me unhappy. Anyway seeing how Koko is gonna visit Banri, I think they will do "re-introductions" with renewed Banri. Let's see how that works like. Yana and Nijigen did a pretty solid friendship job there, hope they appear next episode. And Banri "left" with dignity. |
 |
| This was a really emotional episode . Now I know why the show is called Golden Time . |
| When will this Ghost Banri thing be resolve,honestly Banri would have long gone crazy by now if all of this drama were to have happened irl. This anime is starting to lose me now too,especially whenever Banri gets one of his panic attack and Ghost Banri resurfaces. After this episode I finally realized just how terrifying Banri dilemma actually is (and actually started to get abit paranoid about this situation happening to me XD quite scary honestly). Urgh,I have the sudden urge to spoil myself too and don't think I'll be able to last a week. |
| The dance never gets old! The Nana comedy part felt a bit forced but still enjoyed this episode. Am I the only one who got a yaoi vibe from Yana during his scene with Banri...? next episode is gonna be pre-accident banri throughout the whole episode, until the last scene with pre-accident Banri and Kouko talking, and as the finish their conversation, the screen fades to white and we hear banri say something post-accident Banri would say, and then end. Calling it like that! |
| Banri and Linda need to end up together. That is all |
 |
| I can't wait to see the next episode. |
| People are still caught up on that ghost banri shit? Ghost Banri never truly existed, he's just used figuratively to portray Banri's fucked up memories. So given that, none of the memory loss stuff is all that "illogical" as people make it out to be. Also, Banri getting with Linda would be stupid imo. That would negate everything that Banri and Koko have been through. Yeah, koko isn't what you'd call the perfect girlfriend but I'm kinda glad she isn't. Love doesn't follow logic, the two just happen to like each other, and seeing them try to deal with their unique problems is what makes the show interesting. Anyone with an idealized view of love should have dropped this show from the start lol Also, I don't blame LINDDAAAAAA-banri for freaking out at all. I don't think any of you have any idea what it would be like to basically wake up in the middle of the city street when your last memories are from some rural town. Sheesh. |

| banri x Kouko OTP, I will swim in your delicious Linda x Banri Shipper tears :D Also, that Yaoi-esque scene between Yana and Banri - wtf? XD Overall a good episode, I'm curious to see the final |

Calling it like that! Great point! It would not surprise me to see the ending go that way, (would be similiar to how th eending credits goes at this time as well, (i.e. Koko sitting there by herself & then Banri comes up, sits beside her & takes her hand). |
|
| Predictions for the next episode: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/mortalkombat/mk2/mortalkombat2-friendship-04.png |
 |
| Well the author is obsessed with blonde hair, rich-girl, main heroines. It's 100% koko |
 |
| Seriously, why some of you think Banri and Linda may end up together, for whole series they didn't have any romantic development. Flashbacks doesn't count. |
 |
| From the feeling of the ending and the preview of the last episode, seems its going to be a happy ending, which I somehow didn't expect like this at all with such a story and protagonist with that kind of amnesia. I hope the ending will somehow be satisfying. |
| I just want whoever Banri becomes permanently to be with the girl he loves. I wasn't shipping anybody until about halfway. Then I chose Linda. But honestly, in every single rom anime I have watched. If the main boy and girl are in the op or on the pic of the series they will end up together. My prediction is either its Koko and Banri or no one because everyone will have to recreate their friendship. and honestly, since when has the childhood friend ended up with anybody? |
 |
| i hope to god it's koko and not linda. not that i don't like linda but after seeing this episode i really do understand just how much koko has gone through and had to handle because of banri. like what are the chances you fall for an amnesia patient who ends up forgetting about you in random panic attacks??? I just hope it's a happy ending between koko and banri, especially after this episode |
| Does anyone know if there is any kind of real medical case like Banri's out there ? I mean I've heard of amnesia, but losing the new memories after regaining the old ones ? Just sounds odd to me, maybe I'm just being stupid, dunno, but honestly this sounds much more like a supernatural kind of thing to me than of a actual medical condition. Also nice bromance from Yana and Banri, not gay or yaoi, just truly bromance... Respect |

Anterograde makes it impossible to create new memories after the accident while you still retain the old ones. It's like the one in 50 first dates. Retrograde is the classic one that everyone thinks of. I kind of think that the author just made a mix of both to fit the needs of the story being created |

| I've been thinking and the conclusion I came to is that Banri is actually a robot. How else do you explain the MS system restore he performed in this episode? The show was fun but quickly went downhill with this "I'm disappearing" bullshit. *hopes for a somewhat satisfying ending* |
| People should understand it isn't easy dealing with people who have amnesia. It can be pretty crazy for both the one who has amnesia and one who's with him/her. Seriously, Banri needs proper medical attention especially when his memories are coming back. He should have gone to the hospital the first time his memories came back. Either way, it is quite understandable why Koko wants to break up with Banri. anyway, i wonder how this series will end? maybe Koko will make Banri fall in love with her again... ROFL@ dat Banri x Yana bromance moment... |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
| I can't believe people are actually blaming Banri cos' he didn't "fight for his memories" -_-'. I like where this is headed :D Though it is quite likely that he might just remember Kouko at some point, It will probably end with Kouko X Banri. Pretty sure Linda and Banri is over. Now about Kouko, she is still a selfish little b!tch. She breaks up with Banri cos she doesn't want to be hurt, basically she doesn't care about Banri's feelings. You'd think she would want to stay with him till the end. I do get that she's hurting cos of this but that's really shitty of her, she has hardly grown up since the first few eps. Nana still best girl! DAT Bromance tho. |

Nana still best girl! DAT Bromance tho. True about Koko. For all of the growing that her character has done over the course of the anime, she has always held on to that selfish part of herself, (which she addessed to Banri in this episode in her tearful confession of wanting to stay with him, if he remembered her). I personally do not like the selfish part of her in this episode, however, I can understand her reasoning for doing it, (as Bandri did as well). I am curious to see how the authors wrap this up. I have grown very fond of Nana. She has came along way from just being a side character who randomly appears, (same with 2-D Kun). Once this series is over, I am going to begin watching her series & see how that goes. |
