English Dub Review: To Your Eternity “A Knot in the Soul”

Overview

Fushi begins his new life in the present day and begins to gather his former classmates at Yuki’s house

Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, we get a heartfelt and gently humorous reprieve/reunion of sorts as Fushi, March, and their companions adjust to an entirely new chapter of life. The sense of reunion is both joyous and surreal, blending lighthearted chaos with moments of quiet reflection. Whether it’s the playful banter among old friends or the sense of wonder as they navigate the modern world. At the same time, the introduction of Mizuha adds an intriguing new perspective, her struggles reflecting themes of loneliness and self-worth that ground the episode in emotional realism.

While the tone remains mostly uplifting, an undercurrent of unease lingers beneath the smiles and laughter. Hana’s connection to Mizuha brings tenderness to the story, offering glimpses of empathy and vulnerability amid the surrounding lightheartedness. The world around them feels different now, less defined by survival and more by the quiet, personal challenges that come with peace. Every joyful moment feels tinged with nostalgia, as though the characters themselves sense how fleeting this happiness might be…

Overall, this episode serves as both a celebration and a quiet turning point, blending warmth, humor, and reflection with an undercurrent of unease that hints at what’s to come. The found-family dynamic offers heartwarming moments of connection and laughter, yet beneath the surface lies a sense that this calm cannot last forever.  And reminds viewers to cherish these fleeting moments of light before the next possible drama-storm inevitably arrives…
