Death of a Travelling Father — Eleven Days of Advent and One Day of Christmas #8
Honestly, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi was not a good show. It had no idea where it was heading, the pacing was all over the place, and the characters were poorly used. The latter arcs were especially dumb.
However, the one thing the show did do exceptionally well at was delivering powerful emotional climaxes. I’ll admit it, I cried. The most powerful was at the end of the first arc.
Humphrey, a man cursed by immortality, has wandered the face of the Earth after his wife and daughter disappeared, searching for them and fearing he will be the last one alive in a doomed world. He’s trapped by some robbers, and thinks no one will bother searching for him. He will just let them torture him until they get bored.

Valvrave Cheats on Haruto — Eleven Days of Advent and One Day of Christmas #7
Tsk-tsk Valvrave-tan. What a player. She’d been going behind his back with Marie ever since they met…
Poor Haruto. His romantic life has been terrible. First he thinks his girlfriend dies. Then instead of asking her out he tells her her shirt is ugly. Then he proposes marriage to Saki and gets rejected (after his vampire nature forces him to rape her). Then Shouko falls for Eru-Erufu. Then Haruto falls for Eru-Erufu. Then Eru-Erufu leaves him for Marie and and his ex, only to have both of them die. And then Shouko betrays him.
And even his robot leaves him for another woman…
Falling Slowly — Eleven Days of Advent and One Day of Christmas #6
It’s tough to pick a single moment of Shin Sekai Yori that stands out. I loved the whole thing. But I’m going to go go with the moment when Saki flies through the air in episode 20.
It’s beautiful. We start out spinning around in Saki’s first person perspective. Then the darkness turns to light and the sun turns to the moon. Everything is still. Peaceful music plays. A masked Shun appears. Saki removes the mask. There is no face.
Saki embraces him as he disappears, still falling slowly through the night sky. She decides she must live.
Color returns to the world, and we’re back in Saki’s perspective, spinning rapidly. Saki crashes into a field of sunflowers.
