| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- You have to be pretty stupid to stay quiet in that situation, probably Satou wouldn't even protest if someone forced him to suicide agains his will. Misaki's speach was lol. It was really fitting when they were crying in dispair and then the taxt "welcome to heaven" showed up :P |

 |
| I wish he jumped and survived; it would be EPIC!!! :) |
 |
| It was creepy when Satou saw that blue conspiracy-thing in Hitomi's face! I don't really care for this new ending song. |

| SunSir said: I wish he jumped and survived; it would be EPIC!!! :) That's what I thought would happen, especially when someone mentioned how surviving a fall like that could only happen in manga and dramas. All I thought was that it'd be perfect he fell during an anime! haha! I also really liked the old ending theme more. |
  |
| EPIC Episode, the tension is great. |
| its kinda stupid how he came to have a new life/start and at the end it became opposite |
 |
| eh i cryied on this episode because it reminds me of my past. . . (for to months im trying to go out of hikikomori state and i tried suicide too =/ ) |
| I was watching with french subs, so I didnt realize what was going on at first. And when I finally did, I was like, WTFFFFFF SUICIDE? OH NOEZZZ. lol. I'm happy he lived. xDDDDDD |
     |
| Insane episode!!! |
 |
| lol, this was really a 'omg' episode XD |
| Good episode. I don't like the new ending that much the older one was much better. |
 |
| Oh my god that shit was intense. And a new ending theme. I suppose this signifies it's a different part of the series. How he managed to not say anything at all for so long was a feat of stupidity. |

mastersushi said: Quite a good episode. Got me right where it matters. EmiyaShiro said: Been there man. I think thats why this episode was so powerful for me, it touched on a topic that deeply effected my life. Great episode, gonna try to finish the show tonight!i tried suicide too =/ Been there too. More people than you think probably have. Anyways I burst out laughing when he fell and my mum was like 'wtf?' Then I was like aw when I saw him grab on. Anyways I loved Misaki's speech. I was thinking like does she want him to jump or not -___-' So basically she just wants someone to make her feel better for sucking so much. |
  |
| .....interesting episode...i thought that no one will die at the end because of Satou-kun...but that he wants to die after all was kinda surprising...although it was kinda shock for him... mhh about that what misaki-chan said....i don't know why but i was kinda expecting something like that... |
| insane episode.. as hell.. especially the title 'welcome to heaven' shown right after the (almost) suicide scene and seeing all of them crying and screaming.. xD this anime is just different. I love it :p |
 |
| Oh wow, that was some episode. I thought he really fell for a moment, I was NO WAI. |
 |
| i kinda wish they would have had someone jump. i thought the fact that no one died after all that hype was kinda disappointing. and i like the new song.:) |
 |
| That ending was intense, but umm…I didn’t expect Satou to be the one to really want to jump. And it’s looking like Misaki has some deeper issues going on than previously thought. While he’s up on that cliff she was down in that boat crying telling him he was a failure and more pathetic than a stray dog, it practically made him want to die. But she also said something to the effect of him being more of piece of garbage than she is, and it’s why she absolutely needs him. So, I don’t know what that means—or what she’s playing on. But she was crying and upset, and well…it was all very intense. |
| Both Satou & Kashiwa have psycological issues that they need to work through, that much is obvious. The sad thing is while meeting Satou in his fake happy state everyone else was willing to live, save Kashiawa (and I bet she would have chosen life if he showed her that he needs her and loves her, which he doesn't, but people have faked worse things), at the end Misaki's statements only confirmed to him that his life was not really worth living, because he was worthless, except that he is a person, but nothing more besides that. Yet for some reason she needs him. Or maybe I read/heard it wrong. Good episode for snatching "MTF pancakes" away when you were just about to eat it. |
 |
| Good episode. The ending was filled with a chain of events that made the episode funny but serious at the same time. |
 |
| An episode that puts you on the edge, its really emotional and great overall. |
 |
| LOL at Satou just kinda going with the flow and not being able to interject the way he wanted. |
| My heart almost stopped beating when I thought that he fell. XD I still prefer the old ending though. |
| This episode really got to me, especially the ending. Mainly because I can relate to alot of whats going on, and I've been having an on/off struggle with depression. I'm a guy, and I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the end (No loud sobbing, just tears x] ). But this was a great episode... |
 |
| Very awesome episode. Was a shocker when he almost fell. When they both started crying at the end 8*( |
 |
| No matter how I look at it, I felt like this episode was a retarded-let-down one for me. First of all Satou didn't even killed himself when he had no goals and was a full-load hikikomori, when he didn't even knew that Yamazaki was living next to him. Then now out of nowhere, right up when he had this shining light of creating a game (He had found something to believe on, something that gave him strenght to keep going straightforward) he sudenddly realizes that his life is trash when hes at the verge of death without even wanting to. He lied to everyone until the moment they were going to jump, HE FUCKING DIDN'T WANTED TO DIE YET HE WAS GOING TO. What a patethic human trash, he had so much potential to become someone else and the writters just screwed it up all, it was totally unlike the character to want to kill himself, an extremely unpredictable change of mind out of nowhere. The writters screwed it up. Horrible... but very horrible episode. |
| Misaki's speech was hilarious. |

| Bah i got small tears in my eyes from this episode =\, this episode was tense and powerful for me. :S |

Don't underestimate the power of peer pressure... also, he might not have thought of it himself but he was pretty close to that type of thing himself, I think, which is what Yamazaki was talking about in the car. kawaiisakura05 said: i kinda wish they would have had someone jump. i thought the fact that no one died after all that hype was kinda disappointing. and i like the new song.:) I thought it was the opposite of disappointing, I liked that no one jumped, I was relieved. Isn't it obviously better this way? I'm not entirely sure about the old man, though - I guess he can't do it in this situation, but was he really convinced? Btw - that kid was really going to commit suicide over something like that? Hmm... I like the new song too, I think - I'll know better after a couple more episodes with it. |

Yeah agreed i thought he would fall and survive. i also like the old theme better, but this ones okay, not as cool though. loved the episode, it's scary how much i can relate to the characters. can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| Not too fond of the new ending theme. But great episode. |
| I actually had tears at the end of this ep (manly tears though!). I feel I can relate to a lot in this anime, maybe thats why I find it to be such a great anime. I smell another 10 if it keeps going like this. |
| I loved it, I almost cried myself when Satou and Misaki were crying at the end. I've had a life like Satou's til very recently, with 28 months like that so I feel this anime relates very well to the me of just last month. I had thoughts kinda the same as the others when things went wrong for me but it gave the right message that if you dont keep living, how can you know what is around the corner for you? |
 |
| This anime... ... is so depressing :( |
| so many twists , one of the most interesting so far.. |
| omfg effing dramatic and hilarious he was like the first to be hesitating to jumping off the cliff and in the end he really wanted to, then got scared as he almost actually fell l0l GF |
