With You, Our Love Will Make It Through [S01E06 Episode 6]

Okay, let’s get real—With You, Our Love Will Make It Through Season 1 Episode 6 just dropped, and I’m still wiping my eyes. If you haven’t been keeping up with this gem from Millepensee (the studio behind some of our favorite emotional hits), let me catch you up: it’s set in a world where beastfolk—people with animal features like fox ears or wolf tails—are forced to live behind tall, gray walls, cut off from human society. At the center are Mari, a spunky human teen, and Tsunagu, a gentle beastfolk boy with fox ears and a fluffy tail, who’ve been secretly meeting at the wall for months. And Episode 6? It’s the moment their secret becomes something way bigger than just the two of them.

First off, let’s talk animation. Millepensee’s style here is so on point. The scene where Tsunagu’s standing at the wall, his tail twitching nervously as he waits for Mari, had me leaning in. When she finally shows up, the way their hands touch through the cold metal bars—you can almost feel the warmth of their fingers through the screen. And that big moment? When Mari decides to climb over the wall to be with Tsunagu? The camera follows her as she scrambles up, her shoes slipping on the concrete, and Tsunagu reaches up to catch her. The colors shift from the dull gray of the human side to the vibrant greens and blues of the beastfolk village, and it’s like a weight lifts off your chest. Fans on TikTok are going crazy over this scene—one user posted a clip with the caption, “Mari’s courage is everything I want to be when I grow up,” and it’s already got 100k likes.

But it’s not just the visuals that hit hard. The dialogue here feels so real, like something you’d hear from your own friends. When Tsunagu says, “You don’t know what it’s like on this side—people here are scared of humans too,” Mari replies, “Then let me learn. Let me see your world, not just the wall.” It’s a simple line, but it’s packed with meaning. Over on Discord, someone commented, “This episode made me think about my best friend who’s from a different country—we used to stick to our own groups, but now we hang out all the time. Mari and Tsunagu remind me why it’s worth breaking barriers.”

And let’s not forget the supporting characters. Mari’s best friend Kaito is the MVP of the episode. He helps her sneak to the wall, even though he’s worried she’ll get caught. When she tells him she’s going over, he says, “Be careful… but if anyone can do this, it’s you.” It’s the kind of friendship we all want—someone who has your back even when things get risky. Fans are calling Kaito “the real hero” in the comments sections.

The music in this episode is also chef’s kiss. The background piano during the wall scene builds slowly, and when Mari jumps over, it swells into this beautiful, hopeful melody. I already added the OST to my Spotify playlist—you can bet I’ll be listening to it while doing homework this week.

But Episode 6 isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There’s a tense moment where Mari’s mom finds out she’s been meeting Tsunagu. “You can’t be with a beastfolk,” her mom says, her voice sharp. “They’re not like us.” Mari’s reply? “Like what? Kind? Loyal? Tsunagu’s the best person I know. If you can’t see that, then you don’t know me.” It’s a moment that hits close to home for a lot of teens—we’ve all had fights with our parents over something we care about. A Reddit user wrote, “That scene with Mari and her mom made me cry. My parents don’t understand my love for anime, but this episode made me want to talk to them about it more.”

The ending of Episode 6 leaves you hanging: Mari and Tsunagu are hiding in Tsunagu’s village, and the camera pans up to the wall, where a group of human guards are gathering. I can’t wait for next week to see what happens. Will they get caught? Will the village accept Mari? This show is quickly becoming my favorite of the year, and Episode 6 is why.

If you’re not watching With You, Our Love Will Make It Through yet, what are you doing? It’s got everything: romance, drama, and important messages about acceptance and breaking barriers. For anyone under 20 who’s ever felt like an outsider or wanted to stand up for something, this episode is a must-watch. Trust me—this is the kind of anime that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Go watch it now—you won’t regret it!
