Aoi Hana – Episode 05
“Of course I love you,” the flower said to him. “It is my fault that you have not known it all the while. That is of no importance. But you– you have been just as foolish as I. Try to be happy… let the glass globe be. I don’t want it any more.”
“But the wind–”
“My cold is not so bad as all that… the cool night air will do me good. I am a flower.”
“But the animals–”
“Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies. It seems that they are very beautiful. And if not the butterflies– and the caterpillars– who will call upon me? You will be far away… as for the large animals– I am not at all afraid of any of them. I have my claws.”
I actually find myself wanting to read Le Petit Prince after this.
This episode focuses on the would-be love triangle of Yasuko, Kyouko, and Fumi, with Akira taking up a sort of mediator position between them all.

Wuthering Heights is an awesome novel as well.
Thanks for the release. This is the only anime I’m really excited about this season, so it’s nice to have it subbed reliably and quickly. Thanks for the hard work.
wut he is talking about the flower dood
When are you going to release Bakemonogatari?
Vol2: Both 3 and 4 should be out VERY soon.
As soon as I stop being a lazy ass, at least.
aw yea
I don’t know if Wuthering Heights is important to Aoi Hana, but having just read The Little Prince, I’m certain that story -is-.
“Who are you?” the little prince asked. “You’re very pretty…”
“I’m a fox,” the fox said.
“Come and play with me,” the little prince proposed. “I’m feeling so sad.”
“I can’t play with you,” the fox said, “I’m not tamed.”
“Ah! Excuse me,” said the little prince. But upon reflection he added, “What does tamed mean?”
…”It’s something that’s been too often neglected. It means ‘to create ties’…”
“To create ties?”
“That’s right,” the fox said. “For me you’re only a little boy just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me, either. For you I’m only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we’ll need each other. You’ll be the only boy in the world for me. I’ll be the only fox in the world for you…”
“I’m beginning to understand,” the little prince said. “There’s a flower… I think she’s tamed me…”
…And that was how the little prince tamed the fox. And when the time to leave was near;
“Ah!” the fox said. “I shall weep.”
“It’s your own fault,” the little prince said. “I never wanted to do you any harm, but you insisted that I tame you…”
“Yes, of course,” the fox said.
“But you’re going to weep!” said the little prince.
“Yes, of course,” the fox said.
“Then you get nothing out of it?”
“I get something,” the fox said, “Because of the color of the wheat.” Then he added, “Go look at the roses again. You’ll understand that yours is the only rose in all the world. Then come back and say good-bye, and I’ll make you the gift of a secret.”
bakemonogatari very very soon i hope
Still waiting for Bakemonogatari..
Who the fuck keep approving these?
Stop posting about Bakemonogatari in my Aoi Hana posts, you faggots.
Here’s an Aoi Hana post then, but it’s about 6 not 5 (since there isn’t an entry for 6 yet). Pro-tip: Yorkshire doesn’t have plains, it has moors.
Pro-tip: Some books are fiction.
By ‘eck lad, tha’s gotta be trollin’
Having read Wuthering Heights many times and having visited the places that inspired the book, I can assure you it talks about ‘moors’ and not ‘plains’.
Then I’m just a bad editor. Fuck off.
