| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- RIP best mom :/ I can’t believe they survived on the boat for so many days without food or water. And they ate raw fish tf lmao And that’s on what? That’s on salmonella 😌✨ |
| Setting aside malnourishment and how Haruo seemingly wasn't handicapped by his injury at all( not to mention the treatment) that was a well presented death scene/ sacrifice that got me in the feels. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Mother's sacrifice... I have no words, just sorrow (The soundtrack is still excellent. Nice job Ushio Kensuke !) |
 |
| Sayonara~ she really did a lot for these kids even with her condition. The first half of this episode was really creepy. |
 |
| How convenient that after several days those two boats ended up in the same place. .. |
 |
| Da siblings time. Its good to see something unexpected happening. It might not a nice sequences on the first half. They floated on that horrific situations. Its completely weird to seen both of them survived. I mean, no way! Ah, shit. Here we go again. Finally the siblings must tried hard to survived only with their own feets. I mean, yeah, they still had Haruo. But its not necessary talked. Thanks for so much coincidence. Thanks for so much a lucky fate. Thanks for so much fortune cookie they gave. The encounters they had in the last sequences were only to gave a nightmare. An touchable ended by their mom. A very bittersweet separation over the temporary happiness. So, yeah, its happening.... I might be proposed the same question as before. How long till they finally lost the hope and death? Thats the only good purposes i had for continuing this show. |

| RIP But I also think it was too much of a coincidence for them to reunite |
| Well damn, what a sacrifice. |
| Pretty incredible that Go and Ayumu survived on that drifitng life raft and catching bird and stuff to survive. Damn the feels at the end, amazing of the mother to have come this far despite her physical condition, must feel terrible for those two kids losing both their dad and now their mom in front of their eyes.... |
 |
| Probably the best episode so far. We actually get time with two of the main characters. The pacing as usual is of course the ruiner of all things great but for how quickly paced it was it was pretty solid all around. |
| Well, I guess no photo this episode. xD |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| would've been the best episode so far if there wasn't so much convenience. Easily the best death in the anime so far. For once it actually got me sad and not laughing like a dumbass. |
 |
| Would have been sad if every person's death in this series wasn't overdramatic and strangely time-convenient "Oh, everything's going well ? Here, now the mom suddenly has a cardiac assistance device, and she ded. Now you cry." Nope, doesn't work like that, that still is a funny, useless and lame death just like all the others in this anime |
| Tragedy porn at its finest. Obviously, the mother was going to die when they mentioned the pacemaker in an earlier episode. |
DatRandomDude said: Easily the best death in the anime so far. For once it actually got me sad and not laughing like a dumbass. I felt the same way. Although looking at it from an objective stand point, the mother died because they couldn’t find a piece of sharp metal in the middle of a boat graveyard. Easily the most forgivable plot hole in the show however, not that the bar is set very high. |
| How long was the old fishman dead and the two kids asleep? His body looked like it was dead for DAYS by the state of it. Surprised the siblings survived without one dying and having to eat the other. Go has no right judging best mom's fashion sense when the little fucker has a fanny pack too. Mom was the best character in the entire series. Even more so than the dad. She carried the entire group on her back despite having a heart disease with a pacemaker. She's a pro-swimmer too which is why she was able to save that kid when their plane made a water landing. She also had the best seiyuu, very motherly. RIP mom :( |
| 臭い- |
| The first half - rather calm, as it should be when you are all alone somewhere in the ocean. The second half - damn, it gave me feels. Dramatic death and sacrifice without any unnecessary elements. Just raw realism, even if it was harsh for those who were nearby. |
| Meh. You knew she was going to die from the moment she said she was going to dive. I would feel sad if so many people hadnt died already. It's just become a fact now that everyone except the brother and sister will die. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| this one was bad... |
| Best episode so far. The mum was easily one of the best characters and her death was handled well and with a certain poignancy that has been absent in other moments of this show. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| I'm gonna ignore the fact that it would probably be very unlikely that Mom and co would have been able to find Ayumu. Even with the occasional flashlight and flare. They were floating for at least 24 hours. Anyway this was probably the best episode yet and was kinda what I more hoping this series would be about. Just the two of the kids reflecting on their life and thinking about how they might die was pretty nice. That was also a pretty well done dearth scene and didn't feel like random, cheap, shock value bs like the previous ones in ep 2 and 3. |
| Yeah obviously the mother is dead...too bad, she was actually a fine character (not like the son) |
 |
| Such a boring episode, felt double the length. They would never have reunited, come on. The mom’s death was sad but there was no way she was going to live. This show is only shock value. |
| This episode is what we really want from this series 😭 |
 |
| This episode breaks my heart over and over again. I'm so scared for the siblings, I thought they will died in the floating boat, always darkness.. I wait to see sunlight but there's none.. and then I thought the mother is apparition, I don't know how they able to survive but I'm glad they meet their mother again but the motor boat scenes break my heart again.. they lost their mother :( I can't!!!! T___T |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| What's with everyone's hands this episode? They were so awfully drawn... Seriously, Mari's heart condition couldn't have been more contrived. The same with all the plot conveniences presented in this episode but leaving that aside, her death may probably be the best scene of this show since the first half of freaking episode 1. |
