That mean you haven't saw kanon 2006 yet :P

Ok, first off

I cried. This was in my opinion the best episode so far.

It was soooo sad but it also made me understand a lot of the connections everyone has together.

I saw the car scene and I got pissed. Then she started singing and I really had a good cry. Last time I cried this much was at the ending of Air.

Also the proper CoalGuys release got released. They also told about the penis troll.

Anyways I'm off, (SUCH A NICE EPISODE Q_Q)

Wait hold the phone here, how could that happen when Yuuko is in the first EF series???

you didn't realize she was dead in the first season???

Is there any way that she is alive? Guess that would not be physically by spiritually and that is where the magic comes in. Yuuko T_T. Just thinking about makes me feel art and emotions.

unless they pull a Clannad, I think she's dead.

Okay, question: How the f**k do you get hit by a car and then left for dead under a tree? What kind of person hits a girl dead on then drives off? This episode is unfathomable to me. I absolutely adored the first season of ef, and normally, I would cry over something like this, but I felt nothing here. Nothing at all. It was too random and stupid. I feel more angry than anything else. This should have been so much better than it was.

Perhaps your only hope is the DVDs and they might remake the scene but for me at was more than enough. Maybe that is because I just started with Japanese anime.

I agree, of course, I probably wouldn't have cried in the first place since I had seen it before in a show, but the voice acting certainly brought it back down, as she died under the tree (though I thought the singing was corny).

somehow this was.... stupid....
it wasn't even sad. man how stupid you have to be to drop something and get run over a car so hard you die. and OF COURSE the first thing you do in unbelievable pain is crawling to the next tree near to you to sing your last lullaby.
that's all anime cliche I'm well aware of and i can accept. IF the pacing is right. it was all rushed in the end and totally obvious and cliche.

that everything was in pseudo b/w (it was a little reddish) was okay for me. they did it so that i forgot about it after just a few minutes. im also happy about the ending song beeing more or less vocals only. cant stand the original opening much.

after rereading my post i sound like a bastard i know. I'm usually not this way but that's how i felt this episode. story developed fine and everything fits together. it fitted so well that even her death was nothing special - something truly obvious.

For some reason I kind of knew this was going to happen... especially with the black and white background (and no opening!).
I was wondering if Yuuko was going to die, because in the first season I figured she was an angel since she popped randomly around and helped others out.

Maybe she's not dead, maybe just in a coma like others are saying... then again maybe not.
I hope she pulls a D.Gray-man and doesn't die >: Though it's likely she died. (With the light being there and her voice singing fading and all...) But being hit by a car is an... awkward, yet cruel, way to die. Most animes don't have characters die (Especially main ones) if they are hit by a car.

Unless the driver hit her over and over numerous times... I don't think she died. But I'm probably wrong, since the episode implyed greatly that she died. Or the producers of the anime want us to feel sad and depressed and then the next episode will be filled with happy flowers of lemon scented happiness and nobody dies.
Or once again, I'm probably wrong and this anime will most likely end in a horrible, sad, and depressing way.

You know they have a crime called hit and run.....
and it happens about every few weeks....

YUUUUUKOOOO! NOOOOOOO!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yuuko-taaaaaan! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ='(

Well ladies and gents, now you know why they put Chihiro's arc in memories rather than melodies. I don't mean to sound insensitive here, but I am shocked that they didn't have an eroge scene with Yuuko. I guess they are toning down the abundant sexual overtones of ef...but why damnit WHY!?

They also changed the way Yuuko died and I am damn pissed really. The original would have been better and would have far better explained the relationship between Mizuki and Yuuko, but they prompted to connect her more with Kuze...



Such a wonderful death scene and they decided to change it...ugh why SHAFT WHY!!!!? Yuuko didn't deserve such an anti-climactic death damnit...

Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed...

I had no idea it was done like that in the game. Wow talk about a change. Seems the one you mentioned has more meaning. Thus I understand things better but they might change it still or do something different. Who knows at this stage.

Stuff like that happens in real life too, so you don't believe when it happens in real life as well?

I honestly believe that they just offed Yuuko for the sake of doing it. I mean seriously, they never even used the one thing they overemphasized in the episode.

If you recall, they showed numerous scenes of Yuuko knitting a scarf for Yuu. Hell they even emphasized her placing it in a bag before heading out to meet Yuu. After that...nothing...it disappeared from the face of the earth. That scarf will eventually play a significant role later on, probably at the very last scenes of melodies.

They probably decided to just skip the whole Yuuko/Yuu thing since they were running out of time. The Miki/Yuu scene that was supposed to have occurred AFTER the accident happened BEFORE it.

They made lots of changes, some artistic, some truncating of the story, and some originals, but this just takes the cake. Yeah I'm only uselessly bitching/whining about it now, but I can't help it since I felt cheated so to speak.

That was what I was about to say, I knew Yuuko was gonna die on this episode after hearing all that commotion, and I was thinking it would be similar to the VN, and nothing like this...
And I'm wondering how they're gonna explain about Mizuki after this part, since

It's called a hit and run. The person hits someone, gets scared and drives off. The ball was a little out of place though...

I haven't played the game, so I don't know, but the fact that Yuu is just carrying her to wherever instead of running inclines me to think that she's already dead.
