I saw it coming but I was still a little shocked to see Makoto actually drop the cat from the crosswalk.![]()
At least we didn't see kitty blood everywhere and he came back at the end
. Though I did make me search for my two cats and give them both suffacating(sp) hugs.

Is it worth tracking down the orginal in some way shape or form or should I baten down the hatches and prepare for something angsty in the coming weeks? Just please keep Ayu safe!!!

Mishio Amano gets introduced (voiced by the awesomeness of Maaya Sakamoto), and she told Yuuichi not to get too close towards Makoto as it'll only lead to despair.
She also mentioned that Makoto is not human. According to her, a miracle happened which allowed Makoto to take human shape just to meet him. In order for this to happen, she had to sacrifice her memory and her life.
Which means, later on Makoto will.......
Also note the fact how more clumsy Makoto has become.

Kanna is way overpowered though, just stand on the spot and use her explosive feathers. Though Ayu's Taiyaki blast is fun =)))

Emotions are seriously running high here. Makoto's condition is seriously worsening as she began to regress backwards to an almost child-like state. Amano pretty much briefed Yuuichi about the fox legend that resides on the hill. Yuuichi figured out that Makoto is that fox and also the same fox he took care off in the past.

It was VERY sad and I'm not looking for what happens next episode, what ever it is will be sadder then episode 09 was.

At the end when Makoto lost her veil was pretty sad. And then when they were playing with her bell and then she.... it was too sad.
I didn't understand the ending though.
I guess when asked what he would do if he could grant a miraical was what the last scene was of Makoto and her cat.
Did anyone else notice that Makoto said she wished Spring could last forever and then when they got to the hill there was no snow and it was green out. Everywhere else on the walk to the hill and all over the city there was a lot of snow and it suddenly disapeared when they got to the hill. I guess that was part of her wish, for it to be spring forever.

I sort of liked Makoto after a while. Initially, I really didn't like her, but she grew on me once she stopped being utterly contrarian (and after I got over what happened to poor Piro). I'm sad to see her go.
The last scene of her sleeping on the hill in spring or summer with Piro was an excellent touch, I think.
Next episode looks like we get more snippets of Ayu's story and start in on Mai's. I believe KyoAni is going to use Ayu's story as the finale (as they should), and are going to slowly advance it while handling the other girls' stories in a sequential form, like they did Air.
