… have I just been trolled by this series?
I mean, I was really looking forward to the characters all going their own way and moving on. And here this episode comes and hints that the Kissuiso actually isn’t going to be shut down. The only one who is still on my side is grandma.
This episode was incredibly unpredictable and created drama in the exact opposite of what I expected. That drama though… again was really good, like what we’ve come to expect from this series. We suddenly got to see a totally different side of Ohana’s grandmother, and her performance in particular was stunning throughout the entire episode.
I have no idea what the creators have planned for next week, though. The thing is that a cheesy life goes on ending just doesn’t seem to fit here after all that build-up. Will it work well as an anti-climax? If the creators can pull that off though, then I admire their guts. Either way though, they have something planned here…
Rating: ** (Excellent)
I was confused until Sui told Ohana that she didn’t want Enishi taking over the inn, and her reasons why. Feelings of guilt she has aside, I have to agree with her, I really doubt Enishi and Takako could make it work.
I don’t think I could personally like Sui, but she is a strong, capable and respectable character, something neither of her kids will probably ever be but something her granddaughter is becoming.
Oh my God…she’s fast…and the bath is cleaner than when she came in!!
I really hope there won’t be a total life goes on ending. They were building up during the whole season for the bonbori festival. They built up so much, that for me, a 4th wall breaking, surreal ending, will make much more sense.
It does feel like they have something very specific planned though. Can’t wait to see, because this series, when it decides to deliver, it sure does.
