 |
| 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??? |
noteDhero said: 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. |

It was too random and stupid. I feel more angry than anything else. This should have been so much better than it was. 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 are my master. |
| 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 |

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. |
 |
| though the hole episode , i thought wow thats great, everything seems fine. But then i knew there have to be a turn of events. but this ball.. ,its so stupid. but it showed me how fragile a life could be, ones life can end in one second. |
     |
| I say we sue the owner of the ball. |

PimpToad said: Was she really pregnant? If that is the case then the game is even worse in mental shock. The only time I saw something like that was in one more other anime and trust me I think I want EMO and cooled off because the girl was pregnant but killing act was just too much. Had to be some movie. |

| omg ! i nearly CRIED ! >< YUUKO died . i wanted her to died . but not this way >< ~ wahhs ~ >< |
 |
| I only have one thing to say: Ho...ly...shit... This ep cemented ef as one of my favourite animes ever. I actually cried at an anime more than ever (the only other time I have was the end of ef - a tale of memories)..just wow.. |

| Another posible confirmation of Yuuko´s death is the end of episode 9 where Mizuki tells Yu that she should have brought the flower for Yuuko on 25th |
 |
| That car must have been FLYING if it hit her without her seeing it coming. In which case she should have been more mangled. Look right and left before retrieving random balls on the street! But based on previous posts, it sucks the anime wasn't like the game with respect to how she died. That would have made this episode horribly sad, thus so much better. And does Yuu design/build the matching town in Australia as the perfect town? |
| its so cool to find out how they are all connected. and Mizuki still has the same style in her hair that Kuze did for her when she was small I really want to see the next episode For me this was like the best episode so far, but really sad!! |

Raith said: why do the people when they hear a car behind them nevver jump to the side? Uhm... because of the shock? |
| Wow, amazing episode sad though, will be missed |
 |
| Great episode, it was really well directed and written, and a consistent following up to the later episode which finished in the church with Mizuki and Yuu (that's why the apparition of little Miki was pretty obvious and quite well placed too). On the other hand, I expected something more original for Yuuko's accident, since it's basically a KimiNozo rip off. Still an excellent episode overall, I love flashbacks (especially in black and white), so I guess I'm pleased now ;) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
The whole coloring of the episode right away made me think decay and the word die featured twice also told me about decay in my mind which in turn meant someone would die/suffer. I did not know and refused to believe such until that bad scene. Die Bart, Die! |
 |
| why is it in every romance drama a girl gets hit by a car and the driver keeps driving? Cant they come up with something else or spice it up a bit? After seeing the part with Mizuki seeing Kuze it brought back my hatred for how they're in love with each other. She's way to young to hook up with him. Also looks like the Yuuko we've been seeing pop up in present day has been an angle or a ghost. |

Also looks like the Yuuko we've been seeing pop up in present day has been an angle or a ghost. Ya basically the randomness of how she died kinda ruined how sad I would've been and instead I was like ...LOL WTF. It looked like the writers just needed a way for her to die so they said, "Hey! Car crashes occur often so let's just have her get hit by a car!" It was really kind of dumb... Anyway this was a pretty good episode. |
| All the mods fucking blow on this website except Kaiserpingvin, Cloudy-Sky, Baman and aero. PM me if you're actually good and I left you out. Oh, rule 8... (￣ー￣) |
| OH MY GOD WTF NO NO NO NO NO WHAT IS THIS, WHAAT THE HELL IS THIS. Oh hell no. I didn't see this coming! I didn't even process in my mind about Yuuko's "current" state in the present world, why she could magically appear and what not, I assumed her to be some sort of angel/god/spirit but I didn't even think about...how it would ever lead to this, well in a way I did but, dying? Oh NOEZ. After all this stuff she's had to overcome, damn it -__-' I think the death was a little too...maybe plain, but I mean, it still hit me. The car just drove off, asses. Who do they think they are. Her singing was beautifully a dramtical horrible moment T___T! (Reads the above post) Wait SHAFT changed it? Oh great, I would read the spoiler but I don't want to spoil myself to future episodes. I liked how Mituski met them though, cute patooty. Yuuko I love you'z <3 |
 |
| It was sad but.......it was predictable. A ball on the road, oh lets go and pick it up. Funny how I remembered a similar scene in Kanon 06 and it was far more well executed me thinks :/ Still, Yuuko my only character ;___; |
 |
| Guess they didn't have cellphones back then. Sorry, just trying to lighten up the gloomy atmosphere. =/ |

EusthEnoptEron said: I agree, this was pretty... random? It didn't touch me at all. Only as the music faded in I got some chills. And also you see it happen, then in the next scene there's Nagi, Yuu and Miki smiling and talking and all? Seemed to be an atmosphere killer to me. Sadly enough I have to agree. The scene was just too pathethic for me. Yandere said: ... However! I did think it was odd that Yu was just carrying her, instead of running to a hospital with her, but who knows. Therefore I also think she already died. Otherwise he would not walk so slowly. PimpToad said: Mayrika said: Thats it! That would have been way more intense imo. They really screwed up that part! ;( |
