| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- In some ways, I think Fushi knew that Knockers would always be on his tail for as long as he exists in the show. Glad to see more of Pioran in the finale as she had been such an important figure in Fushi's life. I still overall enjoyed the emotional tone and drama of the series finale. Fushi and Pioran both came a long way in their journey. Season 2 announced for Fall 2022! https://twitter.com/nhk_animeworld/status/1432346122119487493 |
 |
| A new journey into an unknown land, where Pioran is waiting for Fushi for all her life since being shipped out of Jananda, and living frugally. Fushi can't bear to see Pioran in this solemn state. But fully being aware of his own situation, he pens a letter of farewell to her, but always constantly having her in the back of his mind. Surprised though, Fushi constantly hides at one angle to see how Pioran lived her life being alone being worried for her at every step of the way. although she's looking OK. But The Beholder warns that Pioran could be the Nokker's next victim if Fushi stood with her, and Fushi doesn't want that to happen to her, having admitted that he killed them all unconditionally, the people that changed his llife. But Pioran can smell Fushi even if he transforms into someone else. I wonder whom is in that hut though. A month's timeskip that sees both Fushi and Pioran aged more maturely, and protecting his only family left from the Nokkers, to take care and keep her safe until the day she passes away from ripe old age, the Echoes of life in full fulfillment and satisfaction. Seeing Grandma Pioran slowly having her life decay away, it hearkens back to the nameless boy in Episode 1 in the pure feels of tears overflowing. And fully knowing of The Beholder's existence in Fushi's life, she begs for him to make her life useful to Fushi, and rebirthing her into this fine-looking youthful woman she'd ever imagined, and merging with the Orb. "What's your dream, Fushi? Do like me, and do whatever you want!" - Pioran The death of Pioran, and a new journey for Fushi in pursuit of happiness. IS THAT...AN OLDER-LOOKING FUSHI for a perfect cliffhanger??? Season 2 incoming Fall 2022! https://twitter.com/nhk_animeworld/status/1432346122119487493  An outstanding, perfect episode to signal the perfect stopping point for the anime. |

| Well, I guess this is the end of Season 1 for one of the best shows for the last two seasons. It's been a great journey watching this show. Had lots of laughs and many emotional moments in this first season. Loved seeing matured Fushi and even more old Pioran. It was given that she was gonna die one day. She had always been with Fushi. An emotional ending as well just like the start of the show. Overall, a really amazing show. Had a lot of fun watching this show. Season 2 got announced for 2022(Fall). https://twitter.com/nep_fumetsu/status/1432346367213522945 |

| Great and emotional finale. Young Pioran was so beautiful. Overall, a good show. I probably enjoyed the island arc the most. I'm going to miss Fushi, but gladly we are going to meet him again next year! :) 7.5/10 |

| Although the black figure is labeled as an observer, he helped Fushi a lot. This time he promised Pioran to reincarnate her as an entity that will be more helpful for Fushi. He would have done it half for a pragmatic reason and half out of pity. |

| It's always hard to see the elderly pass on. It's a beautiful and important reminder to always treat them with the utmost respect. They may save you more than you know. Dementia ain't a joke. As for Pioran, I await how Pioran will be able to help Fushi out in the future. Hopefully something significant that might save Fushi. Grandma's watching over and protecting forevermore. |

| What a ride and what a way to end it, everyone aging and pioran slowly succumbing to death goddamn. The symbolism this episode was flipping freaky. Fushi acting how the unnamed boy was with his dog form, nursing him and not wanting to let the dog be alone being reflected in how fushi couldn't not care about pioran, to how march was mothering fushi and fushi then reflected that to pioran, how his self-sacrificial nature of gugu saving reann translated into fushi taking care of pioran, then to how the comradery of the kids on the island was shown through fushi being content with traveling alongside another. Then when pioran was slowly descending into madness, how she accepted and welcomed death, signified by the fire smoke teetering out showing her resolve as well, then the pathetic fallacy of the rain as pioran was dead, to the somewhat cyclical red nose of crying and moving on from death and accepting it, piorans wishes of trasnforming into her younger self similar to how a doting parent would want to look after their child for eternity which hit close to home, this episode was a masterpiece through and through. Whilst the series itself had its fair share of ups and downs, the first episode and last episodes were by far my favourites, showing fushi's growth through and through impressively through a brilliant 20 minute each narrative. Whilst the first episode was oscar worthy as a self contained story packed with emotions of finding what fushi was, this episode was packed with feelings of why fushi was, an internal struggle brilliantly touched on in every episode, moreso by this one. The end clip with an older looking fushi - older than 14 of course, shows how the fight with the nokkers are only continuing, with bigger and better things to come in winter 2022. |

| Time to experience the natural death of a loved one. The final lesson this season so to speak. Pioran was an endearing character. Seeing her slow decay hit different as she was the person that teached Fushi the basics of language and was the closest companion he had. But the last moments as her young self were so sweet and an uplifting note to end her journey. I wonder as what she's gonna reincernate. The timskip came unexpected and kind looks like Fushi turned mad? XD Gotta pick up the manga, cause I sure as hell won't wait for Fall 22. Great ending to this likewise great series. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well Fushi gets more and more comfortable being able to express how he feels towards Kansatsusha . overall I felt the anime was meh |

| RIP Pioran. The most beautiful but saddest death in the series. Let's gooooo for the second season. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| One of the best first episodes ever. The show had its ups and downs but overall it was a really good watch. Emotional last episode, and a glimpse into the future. |
| RIP Pioran and It was really good watching this from start to finish, Looking forward on the 2nd season next Fall 2022 |
 |
| So they ended it on a natural death of Pioran, dementia is no joke. This episode alone was back to what I was expecting from this show after seeing episode 1. The most beautiful thing this episode was Pioran reaching out to the black cloaked dude and him accepting her request about passing on. That got me again, seeing her last moments spend as her young self. She wants to be helpful to Fushi when/if she reincarnates and I wonder what she'll become if she does. If anything, this episode was just as good as the first half, while the whole Island arc was a disappointment for me. I was never emotionally involved with the characters compared to the first half with March, Parona, Gugu and Rynn. Overall it get's a solid 8/10 from me. A great show! |
 |
| Well that was quite the final episode. I'm glad to see that they had a proper conclusion to Pioran's character arc which started from way back. Nevertheless, it seems as though she will reincarnate but as someone else to aid Fushi who in that final shot didn't quite like himself, apart from the age gap. It also seems that Hayase will come from what I could gather from that one scene on the beach with the guy being dragged into a tent. All in all, I'm pretty satisfied with these series, even if I didn't get as emotional as I thought initially due to the very first episode. The different arcs had some very interesting and tragic characters and the animation didn't disappoint for the most part. Plus, the music was soothing enough for each scene and conveyed different emotions. My gripe was with the overall story as I didn't get what direction it was taking for a while. Still, that isn't that big of an issue. PS: For newcomers, don't watch the opening sequence until after you've finished watching it fully. I didn't realize that sooner but there are pretty heavy spoilers in there. |

| So Pioran died, I mean she was really old so knew she was gonna die but this was still kind of emotional. Also this season ends a glimpse of adult Fushi who had kind of an evil smile. Pretty allright season overall, my fav part was proly Gugu's arc. Saw his death coming yet it still hit me like a truck. Other parts were fine too but I was nowhere near as hyped as other people as it was quite generic, thou the execution was done well so it was a decent watch. Season 2 has been announced, looking forward to that. |
 |
| While Pioran passing was mostly expected to happen from the start, I did like how they handled it. Weird how she was able to 'see' the black-hood though, but okay Hhh, got better in the more recent episodes but can't say much about the rest. Got annoyed with all these character intros and forcing me to care about them, but still a fine coming-of-age story I guess. Hoping adult Fushi stays like that; pretty bored of seeing him the same for all those years |
| I was dreading this part being animated and I was right to cause that hurt so much. Pioran's death is by far one of the worst because Fushi had to watch the person he loved slowly disappear and there was nothing he could do about it. The cruelty of his entire existence became obvious in this ep because not only did he lose Pioran but he saw something he'll never have and that's a peaceful end to a fulfilling life. Just the fact that he's a being created with the ability to understand & experience a human life without being able to truly belong with humanity is crushing. This was a brilliant adaptation that took the story of the manga to another level with its gorgeous art & beautiful soundtrack. The Jananda Island Arc wasn't great imo and there was definitely a decrease in animation quality in the middle but other than that... just so heartbreakingly beautiful. |
 |
| Man, this was just the perfect closure that this series needed. More tears in other words. Jokes aside, I think this is one of the best episodes of the show, period. Pioran's been a wonderful elderly figure for Fushi and seeing her willing to take on another form to support his journey was just sweet. Yikes, those dementia moments though, it truly is a life-changing experience having to experience that firsthand, I'm sure. Also, that note from Pioran on top of her demise, my tear glands lost it then and there. A bit of lighthearted approach in the first half was fun to keep up with, Fushi's such a worrywart xD. And that hug to end that little game, great stuff! Don't mess with Pioran though lol, Fushi's blank expression there was on point. It's amazing that she lived for about 90 years and did everything she wanted to do. Might've gone a little overboard hence the charges though, lol. All in all, I really enjoyed the emotional journey and while my enjoyment first up was more, I still think the series ended on a high and deserves the 9/10 that I've stuck with since week 2-3 or so. Each arc tackled different social matters and seeing Fushi come out of each with a better understanding of himself and the world was inspiring, with Gugu's arc being my fav out of the lot for reasons I'm sure many would know. Characters such as March, Gugu, Tonari, Pioran and Parona were handled with great care and it was nice to see their viewpoints. On the music end of things, Episode 16's soundtrack when featuring Tonari's flashback and the First Step track along with a few others are certain to go down as one of my favs. Op & ED themes were fantastic as well and really set the mood of the episodes brilliantly! Op visuals, I've been seeing a lot of complaints on it and for good reason but honestly I only realised things shared mostly after they occurred in the series so I wasn't affected all that much. As with anime nowadays, there was absolutely no problems with the voice acting performances. Tsuda Kenjirou-san's Observer playing the narrator role was a pleasure to tune in to though. Fate/Zero yesterday and Fumetsu today, I've been treated to some gold stuff lately! Can't wait for Season 2 to come now. |

| Can't wait for season 2. Each arc brought a lot of emotions, especially with the ending. R.I.P Pioran. |
| What a show, very different from other shows that are going on the last (I guess) few years or soo. Very well performed in terms of story and... I think I'm waiting for the next season then. That ending was a good one for Pioran. If we think that it's one of the first characters to appear in the show, it needs to have one end that makes it all word it. Being able to change her age after she passed just to help Fushi is the most fitting conclusion that character could have, it fits her MO (after she met Fushi) until the end. Oh and btw... She wasn't lying! That young Pioran... It was hot as she said she was! I can understand why she was soo eager to be young again xD (now let's try to put here a picture, hope that I get it right... Here we go:)  PS: I notice the only photos now are when she's a bit young, but it shows in the ep her mature age as well (for a split second, but it shows). So let's just be happy for this color manga picture that I found, shall we?? xD |
| For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations. |
| I really have to question why I liked Koe no Koetachi so much because this show was not very good. The only conclusion I can draw that Yoshitoki is a terrible writer. |
| God, I didn't like Pioran at first, but over time I've grown to like her enormously When she said she was a beauty when she was little, it wasn't a lie... I have faith that I will see her again... Why did the rain come through the screen into my eyes? It was an excellent last episode, they saved the animation for this heheh 7/10 overall. Didn't "click" with this at first, then I loved Gugu's arc, and in the end, the last arc definitely left something to be desired. I look forward to the second season c: |
| To be honest young Pioran was more beautiful than Rean. Pioran was noble and humble. Now I wonder if Fushi got old old, or he fought Nokkers without morphing. Insane Fushi isnt a thing that sounds good. I fear his personality will make me dislike season 2, hope not. |
 |
| It was really sad for Pioran but well that's life, beautiful ending though, that older Fushi at the end :o I can't wait for S2 |
 |
| 2 Simple questions, - Was Pioran turned into an orb? We saw the cloaked guy put her in an orb. - Was she alive as her young self or did she imagine all of it before dying? |

| Meh What a boring and unfunny finale. Corny cheese shonen humor never ceases to surprise me by how terribly mistimed it's unneededly shoved into the story. Like every other death in this show, Pioran's goodbye feels anticlimactic and being called miles away by the blatant deathflags. The whole rainy day meme is just obnoxious to this day. For real, can directors and mangakas get out of such overused tropes and be original for once? This show truly fits right on this season with other titles providing just deception. The first episode was phenomenal with it's direction and lack of unnecesary monologues, the rest just like Pioran's sanity fades away quite quickly. At least i'll have to admit that I kinda liked Parona & March's arc compared to the rest of the series (even with it's terrible plotholes). |
| First off im very happy to see that we got a season two. So i knew it was gonna happen something bad with pioran but damn that hit hard , so looks she when she was young xD. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Seeing Pioran losing her mind like that was really sad man :"( Feel for her and Fushi A fantastic finale to a fantastic anime. anime of the year for me Didn't expect that the cute girl in the op was Pioran! Can't wait for season 2 |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Gotta say I loved it! Pioran getting dementia towards the end was generally heart breaking. |
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is shit |
| Can someone please explain to me what the final scene was? (the one after the decades time leap) tysm |
 |
| I was pretty underwhelmed by the Tonari arc but this final episode was a strong way to finish season 1. Seeing Fushi care for Pioran, along with coming up with ways to make sure she stayed safe from the Nokkers, was heartwarming, but then seeing her get dementia and lose her sense of self was heartbreaking. She was aware of the robed guy's presence, and the way he helped her move on was a beautiful scene to watch. Of course that loss was tough for Fushi but he overcame it. Although this show kind of lost steam after the Gugu arc, it definitely rebounded a bit with this finale. Goodbye for now to one of my favorite shows over these last few months, and can't wait for S2!! |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I liked the final episode but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the show overall. It had beautiful music and animation, the OP was good too. The story felt meh at times. Especially the last arc. |
 |
| Pioran's death was to be expected, but its not always easy seeing someone you love pass away. The downside of being an immortal among humans is having to see the same process over and over. Hopefully Fushi will be able to make use of Pioran's younger form and I'm glad we are getting a time skip to see Fushi's as an adult. Even though I felt that the Tonari arc dragged on a little to long after the Gugu arc, this episode and the previous one made up for it. I give this series a 7/10 and I'm looking forward to Season 2 next Fall. |
