I rate this episode ★★★★★ for EXCELLENT as well. This is one of my favorite episodes with a fairy tale feel. It's hard to tell a morality tale that isn't too sappy and this one really hits the mark as a good quality morality tale. In this story, the girl learns about unconditional love and the young man still has a ways to go. The story does have a kind of Bardo feel to it as well, as others here have mentioned. I think it was very well done and the acting is good too. The music and sound effects also add to the mood.
