Welcome to the team, Mio!

So, I think she is the manager now which I think suits her role well considering her reserved personality. I had to facepalm myself during that cell phone scene though:



Well, that was a lot of Mio this episode. I also face palmed when she was talking and the others were half asleep lol.

Well... I guess this arc is gonna have some story cuts as well. Not a bad episode I guess and more of Mio's story will continue next week. I was hoping they'd give a solid pacing to this considering how they're handled the common route parts after Komari's arc. ._.

yay, in my opinion this was adapted 10 times better than Komari's first episode arc ^_^

Dam I still don't know how to use spoiler tags T.T Anyway, was a pretty rad ep :D when she smiled at the end, man that was so cute ^_^ And Mio wanting to stay away from everyone because they're already friends and she feels she won't fit in, man, I can connect with her so much with that, best episode ever :D Just wish J.C staff would stop making everything over the top like when Kyousuke didn't have enough money -.-

Yeah Mio actually one of my favorite heroine in visual novel, but they will make it friendship route like Komari.
This anime will probably go with Riki x Rin becuase of true route in VN.

This episode of Mio was quite amazing. I noticed right away with the town in the beginning that the setup took a turn around and shit is about to start getting serious.

About the beginning, one of the things that shook me a little is in the spoiler
not due to its presentation but the mere fact a male suddenly showing of rather large portions and Mio going POOF! Gone, for a minute I was thinking something bad happened to her and all this in the beginning is quite amazing. In general I feel a large gloom around Mio’s past.

About the bullying, now I knew of the spoiler
as soon as I saw it. But what really infuriates in the setup as most of them are to, is the fact the people pushed her aside like she was a big bag of garbage. THAT PISSED ME OFF MAN! You don’t do that to a person. That’s disrespect big time. I can only the Little Busters stop them and give them a good spanking lesson in RESPECTING A HUMAN BEING MAN! Totally scream out man. Unfairness in school at its best folks!

About a new interesting setup, anyone noticed in the spoiler
that they put now symbols of the character’s arc when switching scenes? Indeed that is Mio’s parasol and that is super neat I find! Quite nice! I wonder if cat and dog signs are going to be used for Rin/Noumi?

About Noumi, the most MOE and so heart attack inducing part is the following spoiler
MAKE NO MISTAKE MAN! With the setup of the Wafuuuuuu, the reactions she makes and the situation she shows, I learned that doing fire drills or any kind for that matter would induce a instant kill for me. Noumi has proven that evacuations may kill you faster with her than without her. Her MOE will kill you in a drill before you can make it. I swear that was MOE.

About Noumi’s hands, THAT’S IT! With the spoiler
I have become a pervert for Noumi’s hands and MOEfied due to her phone. This is totally the scene that shows how sexy her hands are and small too. Her phone also shows it’s small but most of all the colour of it being pink goes so well with Noumi. It’s OVER 90000 HNNNNNGHHHHHH! Literally.

About Masato x Mio, CALLING IT FIRST MAN! In the spoiler
not only were at that part Masato’s facials amazing in terms of showing some nice flirting with Mio, it also convinced me to ship them together. Another reason would be how Masato is not good with cells and Mio too. Finally Mio was the only one not laughing at him and hence MASATO x MIO PLEASE!

About Masato’s phone, in the spoiler
does not the design look like the one from:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/5630/Higashi_no_Eden
Cause it somewhat reminded of it.

About thee end, O_O at the following,

That scares the crap out of me! However I read VN spoilers and know all about that person. I would appreciate if some VN person could come to my club and discuss with me my theory on it. Since it ruins all of Mio’s arc I would prefer avoid it totally here.

About the preview, so VN players! How amazing will it be in the spoiler
of that part? Cause that is the most exciting moment I await for the next episode.

This episode was great. Funny how the smart Mio can't use a cellphone even though she read the manual. Imagine her using a computer lol. The other Mio is probably her shadow. She's called shadowless so maybe the smiling Mio is her shadow. I liked Mio's laugh during the middle of the episode. It was soft and cute. The next episode is the sea and the shadow replacing the real one... I need to play the VN really soon.

Can't have enough of Kud when she speaks English!
"Good morning!" and "Let's calling!"

I think that Nishizono is suffering from sickness or probably some sort of personality disorder since the other is smiling. Her arc is quite interesting since.

Interesting episode, Mio's arc may be more intriguing than I had initially thought.

This episode had its fair share of light moments and did a good job of pulling me into the story.

Hopefully we'll get a better result than Komari's arc in the episodes to come, that said, I wholeheartedly enjoyed this week's episode.

Wow, they're progressing deep into Mio's story. That smile at the end was pretty creepy, especially with the thunder.

Since they're aiming for "friendship", they had to omit one of the better part of Mio's story: when Riki almost accidentally confessed his love for her during their conversations about a paper airplane flying to Hawaii.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

it's as much about baseball as clannad is to the theater club.

although like nagisa's drama performance, there will be an episode dedicated to baseball.

can someone make a gif of haruka yawning/sneezing?

Ah that's why I love the work of Key. Some episodes are just lighthearted and fun and then suddenly, you get this strange feel about weird thing happening.
The drama is about to begin again! I am really looking forward to next week.
By the way, there IS gonna be an episode next week, is there?? I am wondering because a lot of shows take a break next week because of holiday.

The banter scene was funny as they always are, with Masato being hilarious.

Hopefully Mio will integrate a bit more after her story has been resolved.

Would have liked to have seen more silly poems by the group too!

Looks like they are cutting out the romance from Mio's route which is going to hurt it. Mio is one of my favourite girls along with her route as well and the romance in this one is quite important and it does make the route better, removing the romance from it will only hurt it.

There are other routes taking out the romance will definitely hurt, with Kurugaya's one probably being the biggest and also Kud's and also Rin's (though they mostly likely do Rin's romance). Haruka and Komari are fine without the romance but Kud, Rin, Mio and Kurugaya all need the romance in their routes and only weaken/hurt the routes without it.

The thing i disliked most about this episode was that Nishizono didn't react to the guy that hit her/walked against her which is also the thing that i dislike most about her.
She might be reserved but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have to say anything when someone does something to harm her, don't let people walk over you like that.

Just started the episode. I already cannot believe how bad they fucked up the song "I Wonder If I Would Have Realized In Time." It's a sad, slow song and they play it while everyone is happy and laughing. So after a few seconds and Riki sees Mio it starts to fit, but then they chop up the song and end it right before the opening theme plays.

Jesus Christ... Fuck them. Yes, it's small but I mean.. We all agree that "it's the little things that count" when something good happens so we can also use it for when something bad happens. I'm sure there will be good in this episode just... how bad they screwed up playing a simple song here really bothers me.

EDIT: Finished the episode. That was pretty good. For once they had decent pacing. I felt like the episode was 40 minutes long or so when it was the standard length, meaning they put a lot of content into the normal amount of time. It was done well.

Only thing that gets me is the ending. Holy shit, it looked like she was about to kill Riki. Jesus Christ that freaked me out...

This ep was surprisingly good, it even made me laugh a few times.

It was of the episode 5 level.

But... I have a feeling the next 2 eps will be a rape festival.

They are really not willing to have a romance route, Kurugaya and Kud will suffer the most next.

Can't do the romance route for her, but hopefully it's still well done without it. Mio is one of my favorite routes I'd say its 8.5/10 for me during the VN.

Also the episode seemed off with, Kyousuke knows Mio isn't Mio OR this could just be for the preview narrating and nothing more being actually inputted for next episode.
