I think the whole Amane situation ruled my emotions and thoughts in this episode honestly. It is just really sad and unexpected. Shizuma also held me captive, it like she is dealing with it but only because she has to? Well close to the end of the season. Can't wait to see how things turn out!

This episode is so over the top I felt like throwing up afterwards.
It's like mexican soap operas meet anime.
Aiiii mujerita to as amnesia ai tu no remember me, your love.
And the character development completely neglects any facts the anime provided so far.
One day, Shizuma is cutting herself because she stills love Nagisa and Nagisa is crying like crazy, BUT, the next day they're both perfectly fine and are willing to co-operate with each other?!
Just WTF?

Of course she has fucking amnesia *sigh*. And yeah, how the hell can Nagisa and Shizuma behave like nothing happened after all that went down? It was more like Nagisa is the one with amnesia, because the way she was acting was like how she was during the earlier episode when she just started to develop a crush on Shizuma.

The show just went all over the place. Nagisa acting like nothing happened when she was around Shizuma at the end. I bet Nagisa doesn't even know that Shizuma went berserk in her room, mystical feathers floating, blood, broken glass, yep. Here I was thinking that Nagisa would still get mesmerized at the simple stare into Shizuma's eyes.

Amane with amnesia, why, just why. It would have been better if she had a back injury or at least a broken leg. The whole amnesia thing feels so forced.

I'm all down for Chikaru as Etoile. She's consoled so many of her friends, she's perfect for Etoile, pair her up with Kagome, there's no way they can lose. Heck they can make T-shirts with Chikaru's and Kagomes faces in the front, and the bear below them saying Vote for Us.

I liked how yaya basically told everyone that was gossiping to shut the fuck up. NOT A DAMN ONE OF THEM REALLY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT IS GOING ON. like damn you bunch of twats. shut up. you're like a bunch of hens chattering away. I thought you lot were supposed to be more lady-like and mature.

"Like nothing happened"? What are you-all on about? Have you ever seen Shizuma this businesslike? It was almost starting to feel like she and Miyuki had somehow swapped bodies. (let's not get into how Miyuki would handle that, yuk yuk)

Sign me up. Or if there's no room for her, make her prez.

I'm guessing Amane's amnesia fades in a couple of weeks. No big deal, though Hikari might feel it so for the interim.

That and the scarf. She knows it has some significance or other.

Yes, Shizuma, you've screwed a few things up. Get over it and make up for it. You're a big girl.

Yes, Amane getting amnesia from the fall was a very soap opera move. She also just had to only forget Hikari lol. Like "you are? bitch, stop following me" lol. She could have been more polite, I mean she didn't say that but she said to leave her alone instead of asking who she was and what their relationship was that she was so bothered.

Nagisa and Tamao need to train, well.

So I've thought this throughout the whole anime, but it needs to be said....Chikaru is the best girl on this show. Funny, good with people, skilled at many things, and for me...best of all....drama free lol.

I guess, Tamao is spiritually semi ready to become Etoile, to be at times warm, at times strict example for everyone, support they need, and be ready to receive other Etoile's support.. And I'd be glad if Nagisa would discover for herself, why would she want to become Etoile herself.. As Shizuma said, Nagisa needs to make this choice herself as well..
I'm trying to be positive, but for now it a bit feels like Tamao and Nagisa are not at point, where they are ready to become Etoiles.. I feel like more development is needed, right now it feels a bit too fast, and more maybe pushed on them by circumstances.. Yeah, sometimes it happens like this as well, and only later gets accepted and maybe even appreciated, but I just hope that their hearts will be into this idea more..

Tumbling with the horse has made Amane to so cold like the snow she walked on.

Wow, Shizuma has decide to suck it up and help Tamao and Nagisa to run for Etoile.

Not a huge fan of the amnesia plotline, but I understand why it's there. I do think it does a lot for Amane's arc, it's just really contrived. A lot of the conflict in this show, while metaphorically meaningful, feels unrealistic. I really disagree with Tomao's sentiment about people being unable to survive without one another, and that they need to fill each other, so I hope the show gives a more nuanced approach to the themes than that.
