This episode just
made the situation a lot better. Now I can somehow see the ending of this
series. Hopefully it will be presented very well(:
Now I'd like to
start with the lesser interesting stuff. Jun-nii is finally going back to Tokyo
for good. Forgetting about the details, I wasn't surprised to see Yurika
waiting for him at the station. What actually surprised me is Jun-nii's sudden
decision to take Yurika with him. I know he probably felt sorry for her when he
found out that she's being met with another guy for an arranged marriage but
taking her with him is just… going too far. ANYWAY, before Jun-nii left, I was
surprised that Sentarou doesn't entirely feel mad at him. Instead of ignoring
his sudden decision to move back to Tokyo or lecturing him of his decision,
Sentarou invited or challenged Jun-nii for a session(: Guess you'll never
really get mad at your brother for so long, right?
For the other issue
on this episode, I really like the development in the relationship between
Kaoru and Ritsuko. I was really happy to know that Sentarou won't be
interfering in their relationship BUT Ritsuko did admit that she liked
Sentarou. I'm glad that things have finally fallen into the right place. I
initially thought that Ritsuko will just give up on her gift to Kaoru and
further development will be done on the next episode but because of that
cliffhanger, I really can't wait for the next episode. How will Kaoru react to
the gift Ritsuko left at the piano? :3 Will he still push it away or admit that
Ritsuko has finally fallen for him? XD I need episode10 now!!!
In an overall look
on this episode, it wasn't as great as the previous ones but it did a really,
really great job in making me look forward for the next episode. With how
things are going here, Sakamichi no Apollon
just might end up being my favorite romance anime :3 I really love everything
about this series.
