Yet another great episode, as the Shiori arc kicks up rather quickly. 2/3 of the series is left. This ep had one of the greatest dates I've ever seen, simply enjoyable to watch. KyoAni does slice-of-life right!

and it seems the Shiori arc will end rather quickly. If I remember it didn't have as much depth to it as the other arcs, but we'll see if I'm missing anything. We'll probably need a good number of eps to cover the Nayuki/Ayu arc - the shining pinnacle of this series.

I would suppose that they'll give Shori's arc one or two more episodes. However her arc was one of the smaller ones anyway, so it doesn't really come as a surprise.

After that it will be just Nayuki and Ayu left...

Very nice episode, kicking this arc off on a sad note. Does anyone other than me think that the ending song is extremely unfitting at times? Theres just this moment of sadness and then this upbeat song just comes in and ruins the mood, although it really gave that sense of optimism at the end the Makoto arc.

Yeah, I agree, the ending song is kind of unsuitable... I think it needs a little bit more of an intro, it starts too suddenly. iirc, the last ep. of the makoto arc had a bit of an intro to it, and it sounded a lot better.

Decent episode. I liked the snowball fight a lot... can't really say much for the rest of it.

I think so to... She should had done the oppsoite of ignoring her sister's existence.
Anyway, this arc will end within an episode or 2, and I' am looking forward to see how it ends. Too bad Mai lost her powers temporarely... Then again they would had been rather obvious plotholes if she hadn't.
I'll rate this one at 5/5.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Kaori is terribly awful and selfish to do something like that. I guess that's the reason why Yuuichi didn't comfort her at all, and gave her a look of disgust, somewhat.

Looks like it's gunna be a short arc. Off to find the next episode~!

The snow fight was simply adorable.

I somehow think it's a natural reaction from Kaori to not get emotionally attached to Shiori, because she knows she will has to say goodbye soon. I guess it's reasonable, but I agree with that it's not the best thing she could've done.

So it's now the Shiori arc, didn't feel as excited because it's going to be hard to better the Mai arc but still enjoyable, I do wonder when the Ayu arc will take place and whether that will be the final arc though.

It seems like the end of this arc is gonna be very sad, most likely Shiori is gonna die at the end.
Poor Yuichi, he should never have moved to that city. Look at everything he has been through. I think that's too much suffering for just a winter.

So, Shiori will die soon as well.. It was sort of expected with her health being that weak already.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the MC.

Girl 1 is his Cousin, who's so worn out all the time, she doesn't seem able to really enjoy life.

Girl 2 is some flighty girl who's lost family in the past, and always seems like shes struggling to find something

Girl 3 was not a real girl, but a manifeestation of some super natural fox creature which then disappeared/died

Girl 4 Has suffered loss in her family before, and is so traumatized she can't help but talk to her self in the third person.

Girl 5 Is so tore up about what's happened in her past, the perceived loss of a friend, and tries to off herself twice.

Girl 6 was sick all along, which is keeping her out of school, and that seems a cardinal sin in Anime.

Is anyone really going to survive this show?

Man how did this guy find himself in the middle of so much grief?

Wow, this series is so funny and hilarious at times, but then it goes all emo. But it's very well done.

I was hoping Shiori's arc would last 4 episodes at least, but it will probably end after just 2 more, if I had to predict. I admit, i'm excited for Aya's arc, but I hope the Shori arc is still deep and interesting.

Mai is spot on again, though in a mysterious way - "The one who is trying to run away from hardship is near you"

I'm still confused as to how the titles go with the story.. each episode there is a title that has to do with a musical term or piece (this episode was "Oratorio" and 17 is Lieder ohne Worte).. Maybe it will be explained later on..

I understand the meaning of Kanon, but not the other musical terms in context of the show so far o.o

What? Killing her on her birthday? If there is any day to kill her why choose her birthday? I guess maybe if she makes her birthday wish before the operation or whatever is going to kill her, she might live but still.

Well sucks to be Shiori... though not sure that Kaori has any right to feel sad, boohoo yeah your the one who should feel sorry for yourself because your younger sister is dying, obviously the one actually dying isn't the victim in this scenario (sarcasm in case it wasn't obvious).

I really don't hate Kaori as much as everyone does. Yes, she wasn't the best big sister ever, but I can understand how she didn't want to see her little sister suffer. She can't understand why was she "born for", if her life is all about suffering. Not the best way to behave at a moment like this, but I still can't blame her so much.

Shiori's story is actually going to be more interesting then I though it would be, which makes me happy.

Not really, the whole point is that Kaori is being selfish. SHE doesn't want to suffer. SHE doesn't want to hurt and cry and despair when her sister is no more. Hence she rather think her sister never existed. She's just being selfish when all her sister wants is a little love during her last years.

That's why people hate Kaori, because she's just being selfish and only thinking on her "suffering" even though she should know that her sister is also despairing as well. Never mind the fact the story quite outwardly tells you that Shiori was pushed to the point of trying to kill herself, partly because she didn't want to suffer but also partly because Kaori was ignoring her.

It's really sad that it sounds like Shiori is going to die. After watching Clannad and Air, it seemed like it was eventually going to happen to somebody. I have a feeling the next episodes might be sad. Really Hope not to many people will suffer at the end of this. ):
