Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien Episode 13
It probably goes without saying that this was another gut-wrenching episode of Kiminozo. Now that Haruka is awake (again), she's told that Mitsuki was pretty serious with Takayuki in the three years Haruka was in a coma. Having just broken off the relationship, she's rather flippant about the whole thing (which really seems to irritate Haruka), and ushers in a whole new set of depressing circumstances.
On the plus side, it looks like Takayuki might finally be ready to do something, rather than let everything that's going on around him carry him along. That would be a really welcome change, and definitely make him a more sympathetic character (though I'll believe it when I see it).
You know this'll be a good episode because it features extended conversation with my favorite red-haired nurse. She really serves the purpose of telling Takayuki what everyone who has been watching the show has been screaming at him all along, and it seems to set him down the path to his epiphany.
This is the second to last episode of this show, so I'm guessing the brakes are off this coaster until the end. Is there any chance for Mitsuki, Takayuki, Haruka, Shinji and Akane to find happiness?
