This kind of episode is one of the few reasons as to why I like anime so much. Although this series appears episodic at a glance, the amount of character development and story included in here is phenomenal. It's the kind of story which makes me wish that I'm a writer who can write something equally as good. This is no small task since it requires the viewer to sympathise with a character of the week as opposed to a regular character that the viewers are familiar with. However, this episode manages this feat easily. In short amount of time, the story convinced me that the two brothers in this story really do care about each other. This is why I believe that a good story can usually be determined by the story's ability to move the viewer's heart and convince him/her that a fictional character's emotion is actually real.
