This episode is the final episode of this anime series. The ending is a happy ending nevetheless. Best of all, no one was left out. At first, I didn't mind how the story would end, but now, it seems that the story near the end happened to be... a little too simple. I was expecting more. Plus in the end, they never revealed Karada's real parents. =/

It took around a day for Youtube to verify the AMV. >_<;

But nevertheless I am glad that Youtube didn't kill the quality of the video.

Anyways, back on topic. The Youtube-hosted video you see above is an anime music video featuring Asatte no Houkou made by none other than yours truly. Being a loyal fan of Michael Wong, I have used a song from his latest album, a Chinese song, "I Am Who I Am". Not-so-obvious spoilers lurk, but it won't hurt those who fear of being spoiled. At least I had not included in any dialogs from the anime so you'll not know what'd happened.

Well, that's it. If you are already reading this, why not spend some time watching the AMV? I would be glad if you would leave a comment. I shall upload the AMV to animemusicvideos.org soon enough after I finish my exams. By then, you're free to download the AMV as well. ;)

Whatever Karada was thinking, in this episode, she decided to tell Tetsu that she was indeed Karada, the little, short and playful Karada he’d knew. Tetsu couldn’t accept the fact.

It took me around two days or so to finish download this particular soundtrack from Nipponsei as the seeds weren't that healthy. But nevertheless, it's worth it. I was only a little disappointed that scans of the soundtrack's album were not available with the torrent. I had to look around for the cover for the album so that I could blog (it would hold no meaning at all if I were to blog without an image). I tried searching Google and Wikipedia but I found nothing. In the end, as you can see, I found one over at Amazon and it's in quite a high resolution. Yay.

First of all, I have to tell you all how shocked I was when I saw that there were over 40 tracks! 40 tracks in a single album! In that case, they could have release two separate albums, but somewhat, they decided to arrange them all into an album sold at the price of 3000 Yen. 40 tracks in 12 episodes, wow. The composer of the tracks must have been a really hardworking guy. The composer's name is Mitsumune Shinkichi. He has also done the soundtrack of Zero no Tsukaima and Rozen Maiden, according to his page in ANN.

Now, back at the soundtracks.

"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

That is the exact word to describe what I am going through right now.

Anyway, the episode started from where the last episode ended, where Kotomi and Amino had arrived at the Pension Isogai, a bed-and-breakfast pension owned by a middle-aged man who used to be Kotomi's homeroom teacher.

My comments: In this episode, Karada went through her most painful experience so far. Someone indirectly confessed his feelings to her, but to her, it was a direct shot to her feelings. She was terrified. If she weren't strong enough, she could have given up on everything. But now, she knows that she has anothing thing to cherish: love.
