Sankarea - Ep12 End

This last episode ends up serving two purposes, the first is as an epilogue to everything that has happened. The second thing is the ending works nicely with a second season. In the beginning we see how Chihiro feels about officially having to take responsibility of Rea. How he should be happen but he can only feel the crushing weight of responsibility baring down on him. He feels that although his family may find this whole situation with Rea to be strange, they won't say anything because it wouldn't be polite. Although Chihiro's greatest concern is how will he preserve Rea's body. The problem is that there is no permanent way about doing that. Also all the ways that exist, revolve around the idea of destroying to body in some way. Which makes them unusable for trying to preserve a zombie.

While he is trying to find an answer to this problem, Mero ends up question on why he won't let Rea go to School. This result in him given a vague answer because Mero doesn't really believe that Rea is a zombie. However in an effort to make life a bit better for Rea, they plan to go to the summer festival. Although he feels that it was his fault that the festival got cancel because of the bad weather because the weather mirrored his mood. The next day Wanko approaches him about holding a small festival of their own at the temple. Which he agrees to because he feels that this way he can make it up to Rea.

Then when Wanko comes over she brings an extra Yukata for Rea to wear, and while she is up stairs dressing Rea. They end up clearing the air, where Wanko come strait out and says she is in love with Chihiro. Wanko follows this up by saying that since Rea is also in love with him that makes them rivals. That means that there is no reason for her to be so concern over her feelings. Also since she might not have that much time left, that is all the more reason to do what she wants to do. Once they come down they enjoy the night shooting some fireworks off. The night ends with Rea telling Chihiro how she like these smaller festivals to the Larger ones, which also reflects her feels towards families as well.

Then from her conversation with Wanko, Rea decides that she needs to go back to school. Since she feels that she can't be called a normal girl if she isn't going to school. Then to achieve this end, she has to return to her old home to get some of her things. Although she doesn't receive and direct interference from the maids, they do tell Aria that she is her. Which result in a little bit of a conflict before she leaves. Before they head back, they stop by the bowling alley where all of this began. Where he begins to tell her that they could have her wear a coat with dry-ice when she starts going back to school. Although because he back is turn towards Rea, he doesn't notice her change in behavior. Then the last episode ends with the start of her zombie like behavior.
