FC’s ep24 was one of the best ep, ever. I loved Junko Minagawa’s Thoma performance, and that scream… Whoa.

Anyhow, Noein is kinda my FC for this year. I’m not sure if this will topple FC, though. It all depends on the finale.

I’m afraid to watch the penultimate ep while the last installment is still left unsubbed. I have an impatient nature regarding cliffhangers.

I see that I’m not the only one who loved this scene. It indeed had the same level of impact as Fantastic Children 24, and that has to say something! :)

This was one of the numerous possible timespaces. But then again, something like that must’ve happened to the people from La’Cryma, in order to explain the way all of them ended up.

I like episodes like this where it’s character-centric. It usually translates to better emotional payoff. I’m not bothering to hide it anymore. I bawled like a baby, complete with runny nose and puffy red eyes.

Of course, now I see some kinks in the episode. I realize the extent of Atori’s connection/bond with Miho but he shouldn’t have been the one who saves her. As much as I enjoy Atori’s character, I think his and Miho’s part in this chapter is the weakest.

But as kuromitsu mentions, “they have such strong emotional impact that it overshadows everything.” Even with very minor nitpicks, this is easily one of my fave eps in television.

I felt exactly the same after this episode, and the last one (that almost made me cry). Noein is one of those shows which are not perfect and, if viewed objectively, have some glaring faults, but I don’t care, because they have such strong emotional impact that it overshadows everything. “Don’t think, feel!”

That episode was great. It was sad that they would experience all that but they realized that they need each other and the future isn’t absolute. Now Noein needs to realize this and deal with the pain without destroying all of time and space.
