Just caught up with this one last night, and it might even beat out the Harmageddon episode as my favorite so far. It was just wonderful - happy and sad and charming and bittersweet and chaotic and touching and, when all’s said and done, contentedly optimistic…

And Yachiyo got her body back.

Her reaction when she first learned of the engagement was telling, though nobody really pointed it out. That was an emotional outburst at the thought of losing Ponko. I think she’s a lot more human than anyone realizes.

This show shouldn’t work, but yet, somehow it does. I think this episode perfectly encapsulates the feeling that I am getting. The anime is bitter-sweet and chaotic just like… life.

They really went and played Alien Hip-Hop on the wedding.

I’ve not felt this emotionally conflicted about anything for a while.
