This ep felt a little disjointed but still nice to get some backstory.

Even with red eyes, Kanade’s still pretty moe too.
Ayato's clothespin hypnosis = Epic win. Finding out
about Otonashi’s story was more heart wrenching, it was tragic.

I really liked this episode, as per usual. Otonashi's past was not as sad as I thought it would be. I think Yuri's was the most horrible. Fishing scene was pretty funny. And clone or wtv Kanade?!! That was a nice cliffhanger.

Yeah, Yuri's past is indeed the worst. However, I liked a lot more the way they presented Otonashi's memories. It really invoked my emotions. I couldn't imagine an extremely sad past for him and while it was sad, it had some good things. His sister's death was horrible for him but also what made him define a goal in his life. He really cared for her and even though his actions were somewhat irresponsible, at least his sister saw what she wanted before she died. I don't think she would have lived much longer anyway.

Hinata: "A clothespin...You pin it...you pin it and it doen't fall...The laundry doesn't get dirty! So beautiful! You can use it as a paperclip or just about anything else! I'm nothing compared to it!"

I agree. While I still hate Naoi, that scene was a whole lot of fun xD

The fishing scene... not so much. Yui is as annoying as always and why is there such a big fish that makes the sky turn gray and stormy? However, I like Kanade and her seeming lack of emotion more each episode.

The twist at the end was just... A red-eyed evil tenshi? Woo, can't wait for what's next.

I knew they would leave Naoi alive. After all, if there’s no God there’s no Christ. [Wait, if he’s God, why haven’t they killed him? Weren’t they against God or something?] And he’s going tothe other side and is now part of Otonashi’s Yuzuru’s harem; he even hypnotized Hinata with the clothespin-worshipping so he can have him for himself. How great.

I actually like Otonashi’s past; his memories were better introduced than all the others. I didn’t feel too touched, but it certainly grabbed me. So, to disappear, he would have to study and become a doctor, fulfilling that way his incomplete goal.

The fishing scene was lame. Seriously, it was only made to show Kanade “interacting” with the SSS; it doesn’t have any other meaning. If it was meant to have one, of course.
T.K.’s still my favorite character of the whole cast.

And… WTH?! Another Kanade-alike?! Is it possible she’s some kind of “parallel” to Kanade, and it’s really the “Angel”? That was sure a surprising plot twist. Just don’t make her be good at last and everyone’s happy again with a new friend.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I liked Otonashi's past and the way his memories were introduced... It was forced by hypnosis, but still - we needed to find out sooner or later, and better sooner than later in a short series like this.

[I'm happy for Otonashi that he made it into university... and though this sounds mean... at least he didn't have to end up taking organic chemistry. <_<'' ]

I thought Tachibana's interacting with Otonashi and co. was quite... cute? I'd like to think that she's on their "side" now.

Another Angel, though?! Very surprising twist. She had red eyes... She's not Otonashi's little sister or anything, is she?! o_O

This episode was a step back for me... :/

Though Otonashi's memories were better than the rest of the cast, I still found myself rolling my eyes. I'm a big fan of Key's works, and I think with more episodes they could have done more.. it felt forced to me.

The next episode looks to be better. Hopefully.

As far as content go this was my favorite episode. The first half gave us an insight into Yuzuru's past which was really interesting. The second half is more of comedic-relief, but with great character development for Kanada. And TK was, once again, boss! I loved the whole monster parody with fishing!

And in the end, it seems things aren't quite good yet! Great cliffhanger.

man I just love how they let Naoi hang around with them like nothing happened hahahaha this show is the best. Although to be fair it was probably thanks to his overly sexy voice. Seriously, Megumi, I don't know what you're doing but it should be illegal.

And the way Yuri's just like yeah okay let's let this girl who we've been fighting against for ages come chill with us at the river. Why were they even fighting against her? Where did Yuri even get that from? Was it just because she was the student council president? This is some quality storytelling.

They explained the Yuri-Kanade fighting thing, through little tid-bits, here and there mostly, when Yuri got there, a couple others came in eventually, Yuri and them formed the initial Battlefront, but they were just doing whatever they wanted, not really a fighting unit or whatever, Kanade convinced one or more(wasnt exactly clear on that part) to do the whole 'School' thing, and they disappeared, and the dis-appearing is what made Yuri think that Kanade was the one making them dis-appear, and being that they were already dead, Yuri assumed that meant she worked for God, her hatred for the life she had was transposed onto Kanade, turning her into Angel, the Battlefronts sole enemy in the Afterlife, and causing her to teach everyone who followed her to believe she was the enemy. Doubt you will read this forum again, but if you do, I hope this helps

Wow, this episode......Talk about a sinusoidal wave of emotions. I was prepared for something a bit sad with Otonoshi's background, but man, you could almost make a whole anime just on that it seemed.

This show has had such an impact on me, that I'll really be sad once its finished. Few shows have been able to move me so deeply as AB has.

I actually cried when he was carrying his sister and talking about happy things, that was soul crushing.

There's no more enemies! Wrong!!! X_X Maybe the Angel (in the likeness of Tachibana) is a necessary evil or a function, the game/world system just spits out a new one when that post or role is vacated?
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Yeah Naoi is with them now :D He seemed to wanna be pretty close to Otanashi though... Maybe he's into this as well ? lol
And Tenshi got some more development... Seems like anyone coming close to her is fated to disappear... Strangely enough she does as Otonashi asks her oO'
And her super strength is strange.
And... What a cliffhanger. I wondered what was the point in having no enemy (even though they can't die, nor kill other humans, nor attack NPCs...)
Still wonder wth are they doing all that to get food oO' Can't they just eat in the cantina like all other students ><'

Why do both "Angel's" look the same? I thought they figured out that she wasn't really an angel, also I still think that the leader's story was the saddest, I mean his was rather sad but the other two's past was still sadder... Was actually hoping he had some super un-ordinary past or something.

I really feel for him because I have a little sister as well. And just like him, I feel like I take her bright and shining face for granite. My sister might not be in the hospital, but I will really miss the little ball of hope she is now when she grows up and moves on.

So, Kanade is musician and everyone else are musical instruments? Interesting twist :)

And again - no death was explicitly shown in Otonashi's memories - niether his sister's one nor his (he could survived you know). But given his mental state his sister is probably dead.

So - is this the world of near death when whole life flashes before your eyes? When you have a chance to settle with your life? Or would it be able for them to go back and reunite with each other (I hope so, given it is Key anime)

And I guess there would be tons of angels. What bothers me is whether they have different personalities though.

Edit: Other Tenshi on the roof has different (red) eyes.

Chop chop chop chop.

Good developments.

I have a bad feeling about future events because of the promise. Also, from the previous episode's preview, someone said "Angel is a necessary existence." From this I think that since Angel isn't Angel anymore, another one was "created". Or it could be from when she used the skill to save them from the fish.
The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.
