Cheers!

A bit late, but here it is – the final episode of this nice little show. And what a fine final episode this is. It is very emotional; sad and happy; and it is a really good closure to the story told.

I know, some of you expected this series to be more of a disaster spectacle. Instead the creators went more with the personal drama of the protagonists caused by the quake. I’m glad they did, because when I’m able to empathize with the characters, the whole story is more believable to me. Yuuki, although sometimes a bit annoying, is a lighthearted but also caring kid. Mirai is a real teenager with all the conflicts and grumpy behaviour they usually have. But she’s also a loving sister who grows on her responsibilities. And Mari is a mother figure I wish all kids would have. Those are great and lovable characters. Which makes me want to watch the show right from the start again

Now,  you all deserve to know who to thank for all the hard work:

Thanks to Amanist, who translated the show although he’s super busy in real life, and Komugi for jumping in when Amanist was travelling to Africa where someone “borrowed” his notebook ;P
I also want to thank Asunder (it’s always a pleasure to do fansubbing with you); Torgan for his editing; Borjoyze for his sign work and karaoke, which looks perfect as usual; Kobbie for the fitting ending karaoke – I really liked that one; thanks to Nanne – the fastest timer I know – and LGDarm for K-timing; DeathWolf for style and the logo; Xistance for some ts raws and thanks as well to the anonymous guy who gave me the other ones And of course thanks to the quality checkers Ayanami, Penguin, Desolo and Scar – I know watching the same episode again and again is hard sometimes.

This week we are reminded that after all this is a Japanese show: we have robots in it! No giant robots, but still ^^

Of course these little robots aren’t just put in there for fun – they are helping to find and rescue survivors.
And so, one of the show’s newly introduced side character’s reaction to Mirai’s joking about them shows us that robots are serious business:

I’m also sure there is a pragmatical reason for the robots to mimic frequent closing of non-existant eyelids XD
Anyway – Yuuki is excited about talking to Kento – someone who actually shares his interests. Mirai is rather annoyed about his smart-alecky attitude. And of course the enthusiasm about the robots gets the kids into trouble while Mari is resting…

Enough screenshots – watch the episode for yourself ^__^

When she wakes up in the schoolyard, where they spent the night, Mari has an headache. Meanwhile Mirai remembered that she had a pair of sneakers in her locker, so from now on she’s able to walk with less pain (literally and metaphorically I guess). When they continue their journey, Mari accidentally listens to a radio report about some huge fires in the district where she lives. She was hoping her daughter and mother would be safe there. So for Mari the question rises if she’d be moving faster without Mirai and Yuuki. Choices…

This week’s episode is very touching, because it manages to show us individual suffering and how people are able to deal with it. It almost moved me to tears.

On their journey homeward Mirai, Yuuki and Mari come by Mirai’s school. Mirai has the strange perceptional experience that you don’t really recognize a well known place, when it is used in a different fashion and is crowded with unknown people. The schoolyard is used as a supply base for providing the people with food and water – of course there are many people there disoriented and helpless. When Mirai wants to show the stained glass windows of the school’s chapel to Yuuki, she meets a schoolmate there…

Due to all the hate discussions regarding poor Mirai I have to intervene prominently here to take up the cudgels for her.
Is she grumpy? Yes.
Is the way she sees others around her unfair? Correct.
Does she treat her brother badly? Indeed.
But does she really mean all that? Not at all!
Look, she’s a real teenager – she likely figured out by now that her parents aren’t the god-like creatures she thought they would be. That’s a big deal and not something you just swallow that easily. Now they are in that horrible situation where she simply is overburdened and she has to rely on a grown-up she normally would distrust instantly.
Is that logical behaviour? No!
But she isn’t a Vulcan , she’s just a teenager!

Anyway – in this episode Mirai once again has a hard time, at first because she was too shy to say that she has to go to the restroom somewhere; then of course the “portable toilette” doesn’t make it better… One leads to the other until…
