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.

Well, about the preview, I think that means Kyousuke will help Riki.

In the ep 11 preview, it was just Riki narrating... so ep 12, Riki didn't have help from the others.

(except the tanka contest, but that part was that way in the visual novel)

So, imo, Kyousuke and Rin will help the next two episodes, and I think this will happen every route.

Just like Komari's, but in her's they helped in the first and third eps. (eps 4 and 6)
With Mio they'll help in the second and third. (eps 13 and 14)

That's my theory.

So far, I'm liking the start of Mio's route much more than I did the start of Komari's. Hopefully the rest of it stays that way.

By giving this episode a 5, I feel like I need to go back to every episode thread for any Anime ever, reduce it to a 3, and maybe then that will do this episode justice. I just could not stop laughing for the majority of this episode, and the introduction to the new arc was great. Can't wait for the next ep

Decent episode. I'm glad to see more of Mio.

It was nice to see her interact more with others. Never thought it'll be easy to recruit Mio thought. Mio's BL fantasy and the cellphone scene were funny. Also, she has the cutest laugh I've seen about where Riki wants to go to Hawaii.

When I read a post that Riki and Mio had a date in the vn, I was a bit disappointed it wasn't included. Like to see some romance between the both of them as well.

Anyway, Mio's cute laugh or giggle made my day.
