Ugh, so disappointed with what they did with Naoi. I don't want him to be a sympathetic character; I hope he just disappears soon.

Tenshi continues to be adorable beyond reason. :D Probably my favorite parts of the episode where her.

lol episode totally pointed to Otanashi x Hinata
Tenshi was so adorable this ep
Naoi's story just hecka reminded me of H2O footprints in the sand
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

Whoa, did you see Ooyama? He took that potato chip and ate it. Light wouldn't like his technique though.

Very solid episode for the Kanade and TK fans.

I can't even put into words how I feel about this episode. Holy fucking shit. Was amazing from both homo and non-homo standpoints.



The immediate "kore nano ka?" after this was just so.....amazing. For him to immediately spout that out just solidifies my suspicions that he really wasn't just joking around.

Yeah, that was surprisingly emotional (and really yaoi, but I'll get to that in a second). The "korenanoka" moment was a nice touch.

-You know, I really wish we could have, you know, seen some of that epic battle going on but coming in at the last second has it's own effects. Especially with all the blood and dead open eyes there. I mean, jeez. This episode would not be one I would associate with Maeda...well, the second half anyway.

-Oh TK. You make everything better. "I'll be back" moment is golden.

-I did have problems with this one, like what was with the animation when they were walking on the bridge. I'm not one to ever talk about animation issues unless it's really egregious (like that TTGL episode) and they all honestly looked like they were drawn by a doujinshi author for that scene. Another problem was not that I had a problem with the mood shifts but more like, so much was going on in this that the second half was more whiplash than I'm used to.

-Evangelion mindscrew with Yuri there?

-Wow, was that last moment with Naoi was very, very, very BL. Lines like "You're the one in my arms right now." What the heck am I supposed to think there? I don't really like Naoi too much so I wish he had just passed on there...

Hum, I'm gonna accept the fact for now that there's no logic explanation to this, just like Clannad's dream world.

So what happens anyway if you kill a NPC? Did they mention it before?

This is another fangirl episode, that hugging at the end felt awkward mostly because you don't see that often in anime unless it's BL.

On a side note, Kanade was HHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHH! Kawaii overload! :D TK's "I'll be back" was awesome too. xD

I thought it was a brilliant episode. Otanashi punching Naoi was a crowning moment of awesome. The music in during the scene was epic and grand and so fantastic. This is the best episode so far. The only problem is what will happen next? Both of the "antagonists" are now good. 10/10

Was that voice at the very end of the preview Hinata? Please tell me it wasn't Hinata. I'll just tell myself the line was referring to dying-and-then-coming-back dying.


I think it was Otonashi, wasn't it? It definetely sounded like Hiroshi Kamiya imo.
I feel pretty stupid because I can't tell. After listening to it a few more times, it does sound like Kamiyan to me as well.

It feels really nice to have guys agree with me because I'm really getting into it and feel kind of alone.

About Naoi - I agree. I like that it showed how compassionate Otonashi can be, but I do wish he would disappear. His baww backstory didn't do much to help his case, with me anyway. Fucking up everybody in the school is kind of a big thing.

To be honest you more or less summoned up my view of everything after - epic smashed to the face from Otonashi - I hope he disappeared but we are as per the last episode cliff hangered. And ya his back story .. Im sorry you couldnt make a pot? So you turn into a genocidal dictator who terrifies who he doesnt try to kill or 'make vanish' or use. Ya need more then ~Epic Pot Making Fail~

Note as I said earlier - TK had yet another epic moment lol , And it was very nice to see some more Tenshi moments and in the end to have Yuri and Tenshi seemingly and in different ways perhaps 'saved?' by Otonashi (I use the word save for lack of a better term)'

I feel like I was watching roulette. Everything moved so fast and everything was so random. Locked in a dungeon? Hand sonic 4? Hypnosis??? Otonashi hug??? Are they pulling shit out of their asses or something?

That scene with Hinata and Otonashi made my day~
When Hinata says "korenanoka?" literally screams homo. I think I am going to ship HinataXOtonashi now.
But OtonashiXTenshi is pretty cute tooo. o3o

On the actually episode part... really rushed and the drama didn't really do it for me. Though I am glad they actually gave Naoi a backstory and all that.

I really wish Naoi disappeared after the hug... I really hate people like him. >c

Overall, this was a pretty crappy episode.
But since they added the Gay between Hinata and Otonashi it has been raised to tolerable. c:

I don't know what to say, there were some great parts a other that sucked, but the overall is still very good.

Those homo scenes were really weird and crazy (apart from the joke of the half dead Hinata). Naoi had a geass. The massacre/war wasn't even shown, where's the fun?
And I think the episode got really rushed, it got a total spin and it didn't worked very well. But then again, there won't be many episodes, so they have to make it fit (damn, this MUST have a second season).

Now, the episode showed Tenshi's weapons (though the trident is weird and how can someone fight using a flower?). And the best part, showed some explanation on why she is always alone (so sad D;)

Well, let's see what the next episode got for us, I only hope that Tenshi becomes the protagonist(GO Tenshi!) and become friends with everyone in SSS or at least with Otonashi.

This episode was kind of disappointing. I couldn't feel any sympathy for Naoi at all.

That episode had both good and bad moments.

Pros:
1) I'm glad Otonashi got to be better friends with Kanade, and this anime shows more of her innocent, yet bewildering personality ~she doesn't realize she likes something?~
2) TK, you were just awesome again! "I'll be back"
3) If I could do what they did in class, I would definitely do them. lol
4) Yuri's haggard look: HOT.
5) VERSION 4 is best!

Cons:
1) Rushed much? wth was that all about.
2) Pot making fail, what kind of excuse is that. go be a game designer then, if you like to play them so much
3)Yaoi.... self explanatory
4) It's funny how Otonashi knows EXACTLY what to say when he himself had no memories.
5) CLICHE speech by otonashi
6) He got his powers how????

Overall, it was good, but it definitely could have done 100x better. 7/10

Pace was kinda quick yeah. Actually the episode generally sucked except for the aforementioned T.K. scenes, Hinata homo jokes even an inch away from death and Tenshi's glorious screen time.

Also Tenshi's 4 hit Hand Sonic combo, I can SO see that put to real offensive use in battle. HS->HSv2(stabby a bit more)->HSv3(bet it's hurtin' now)->HSv4(the dude getting stabbed violently bursts like that door did). Ouch.

6) He got his powers how????

1: Nothing can be done. They shouldn't have expected to fit a story by Jun Maeda into 13 episodes. Light novel would be nice if it were translated.
2: Naoi wanted to be accepted and acknowledged by his father, not run away.
3: Makes a good joke to me. Unless you mean Naoi and Otonashi.
4: Otonashi either one: still has some kind of feeling to the world in his memories, like answering those questions in ep5, or two, hearing the memories of others has really changed his view on life. All of the SSS are clinging on to what can barely be considered life. That is certainly human. He can of course see now that it is very real, and life wasn't pointless or fake. That's the idea right? The advertisements said "Something right here will make you remember your life is a precious thing" or something like that.
5: Cliche? What about the twin replacement thing? Everyone does the twin replacement thing too!
6: Same idea as Tenshi I'd assume. If you can make magical barriers, weapons, and time distortion powers, then you can make hypnotism.

If that "insight" helps answer your questions any better.

The opening was disappointing :( I was hoping for a badass scene.

Then you miss the WHOLE fight between the SSS and the new student council, he bitches because he couldn't make pots and he was envious of his brother (pussy much?), and then there was this sudden mood switch on this episode.

Sorry, but this episode was kind of a fail :(
They don't need to rush, just try to get a second season going.


Anyway, I loved when Hinata made the gay joke haha. Would have been awesome to see Otonashi and the student council president fist fighting or something instead of homo-hug time, or at least some kind of development in Otonashi's character/memory instead of this code geass power rip off thing. :(

If Tachibana was any cuter... I think I could die from watching this show.
Just...every second, every pose, every posture/expression is filled with cuteness. She is the Essence of Cute.


Zero009 said:


-Glad to see that Tachibana could finally eat some Mapo Doufu and she was just criminally cute in prison. Also that hand sonic V4 was just lol.
-It was nice to see Otonashi acting like a man and his "speech" was quite good, though that hugging afterwards was a bit awkward.

Soo Otonashi's harem after this episode includes Yuri, Tachibana, Hinata and Naoi? Well at least it has diversity lol.


Lol. The hand flower V4 was CUTE how she thought ti was cute xD.
And Lol again @ the mixed Harem.

Great episode again, for me, this show has yet to not deliver.

- Hinata & Otonashi moment was a great touch.
- Brutal massacre was so sad :(. It still hurts! ><
- I was hoping that Naoi would be satisfied and disappeared =, he held Yuri too weirdly for me.
- I agree, they should have shown the battle, or at least small scenes/still frames of it happening while Otonashi and Tachibana ran out. Or at the very least should have had a small part of the end battle with Yuri going down :(.

Lol yeah, I was hoping one of those awkward/embarrassing kind of "moments" would happen between those two, at least briefly, but nothing did :(. With her being asleep and all xD.

I'm at the point where I would be severely sad if any more people disappeared (Except Naoi). I don't want anyone to disappear :(. They're fine how they are. But I know it has to happen eventually...

1) Almost certain Naoi disappeared. Your villain is in another castle.
2) Not showing you the epic fight made the impact of the blood bath from Otonashi's perspective that much more weighty. You can't have both, and given the limited number of episodes (creator said he felt it almost couldn't be done with so few) they had to pick a single impact instead of an epic battle. I imagine you'll get your epic battle yet, just wait for it.
3) Why so much 'what a homo hug' etc? It's an emotional moment, and Otonashi just shows he cares. He probably, on some level, has fear and envy for not knowing what his own memories hold. What did you want, a punch? Not really an Otonashi trait...
