Yoshiyuki tries to deal with his eventual fading from people’s memories as the magic of the tree wears off.

Impressions:

Wow this episode was great. They did a wonderful job really making it emotional. It’s always a sad subject in anime when they show someone has been erased from everyone’s memories, especially after you’ve seen them be such good friends with those people. It was a very sad episode seeing all that happen. I almost couldn’t bear everyone not knowing who he was. It was also really sad seeing the magic affect Anzu. She was one of the people who had made a wish so she doesn’t have a memory deficiency. There weren’t many people who were affected by the magic as far as we know, unlike in the previous Da Capo, but Anzu was one of them and it was sad to see her memory go too. Right now things seem kind of hopeless for Yoshiyuki. The tree is already gone, everyone has forgotten who he is, and bring the tree back would just bring back the problems. It seems like, on paper, there is no way for him to still exist. I’m really curious as to what will happen. I severely doubt this show willed n with him disappearing, they’ve got to find a way to save him and I’m really curious as to how.

I’m a bit uncertain how the romance is going to be concluded. I could easily accept it either way, if he ended up with Yume or Otome but I desperately hope he ends up with one of them. I have a feeling however that nothing will really be resolved in that end. Things will probably return to the way they were before. While I won’t hate the show for doing that, they are dealing with a really interesting story involving him just staying in existence, it would be better if they concluded with one of the two girls.
