Tear Jerker / H₂O: Footprints in the Sand

  • The whole second half of the anime, especially the last episode in which Hayami dies, just as Takuma recovers from his child-like regression and blindness. This is jarring, when you realize Hayami dies the same way as how Takuma's mother truly dies. You might cry your eyes out for quite a while, only to have them bring her back to life by grace of God. There was much tearful swearing, but plenty of relieved laughter too. In all fairness, it could have been worse (they could have left her dead). Which would have been totally pointless, as it was a bizarrely familiar series of events that triggered Takuma's recovery, making Hayami's death mere seconds later something of a kick the puppy moment.
