A episode focused on best girl? Fuck yeah!

It made me laugh, made me tear up a bit, showed a lot more Akane, had Akari sing a adorable song about her friends and more.
But goddamn that ending...

Regardless, this is most definitely my favorite episode so far.

I used to not like akari this much during the first season, in the second season she's just plain awesome, they showed alot of character development for akari in this season and now i think she's probably my most likeable character in yuru yuri <3
apart from akane, she's plain epic.

back to the episode, throughout the whole episode they had few scenes that could make you shed manly tears as well as bursting into laugh. scenes of akari crying during the flashback+insert song, and also the end of the episode where she returned, and also heartwarming akane+akari scene. Its just pure gold! But why ruin it at the end kyoko :(

Oh man, that Akari and Nishigaki scene. Couldn't stop laughing when she fixed it with batteries. Awesome episode, got so hyped when I saw the Akari "one man show" thing. When she tried to stop herself from making that introduction in class, the feelings man, the feelings. Season 3 where?

It was almost like Akari had been to the past before it fitted together so well in the past for her and seeing Akane happy made this episode worth while.
Akane's room looked properly for a change hope she gets some screen time next week as well.

What a good episode, though I seriously wished Akarin traveled to the future and show us how everyone is doing in there...

This is how I imagine Sakurako in ten years:- :3

Best episode definitely.

Talk about quality crying scenes.

Of course, I could tell the entire thing was gonna be either a dream or something by Kyoko.

I can't believe I only just noticed this episode that when Akari turns back to normal after being invisible it has the Niraka~ SFX which is Akarin~ backwards /facepalm.

Haha, what a great episode. I thought it was neat how they cleverly disguised a flashback episode with a plot that has to do with time travel. Lots of comedy with a good mix of drama in between too for Yuru Yuri standards. 5/5

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The episode for the serious it had going it sure got disappointing at the end. The author literally PISSED OFF loads of Akari fans by making the story a figment of imagination of Kyouko. Rather disappointing. Akari’s crying was totally ridiculous and had no effect on me. Truly a lot of fans want the throat of the author cause he pissed them off by trolling them of Akari. This turns out rather grim IMO. It’s not right to play out fans of Akari like that. Could be taken as a joke but true fans of Akari might be disappointed in thee end result of this serious tale.

That being said there is one thing that effected me in the spoiler
But more than anything the following,

That is due to believing the tale would be true and not trolled. I found myself like frozen and drooling. A rather unique trait I did not exhibit at the fact that people did remember Akari and even started looking for her. That was totally joy for me. Too much and hence my reactions.

About the beginning, the start in the spoiler
Was very nice as a reminder among the many during this episode of Akari’s good times of S1. That itself was a nice start.

About the flashbacks, they were very good in the spoiler
Especially the use of the black and white colourings. Which symbolized the past itself. The moments in them were well taken from the S1. To that effect the Kyouko being a dog was good and the bread in the mouth part were good too.

About Akane x Akari, I was so wrong about Akane in the spoiler

When that part came true and with the following one,

It sure made me regret a few views I have of Akane. Mainly the one of her ways. Akane essentially from here on makes me thinking of a good sister that is a little over the top in her love but would never do anything bad to hurt Akari nor anything forcing. She is really a soft Yuri loving sister that is shy. This is from the spoiler
of her blush itself. Which was nice as well. Akane made Akari realize that no matter what she is that she will love her. Which itself made some nice emotional feedback. Truly Akane is not bad, she is just sexually enticed in Akari privately. At most perhaps practising self imaginary delusions of her love for Akari. Other than that she is quite innocent really.

That being said it was the best part for me. The rest was OK and not so great. Comedy wise it was fine but drama wise it FAILS. For me that is Yuru Yuri must GTFO from Drama. It does not suit it nor it will ever less it involves relationships of the girls or something centred around it. Other than that it really does not suit the series at all.

About the drama, I admit that in the spoiler
Kyouko did affect me and I though the whole gang is dead and blown to bits as a last ending but being trolled was worst. The author is looking for trouble with Akari fans. Lots of anger I hear from them.

About the preview, looks to me like super-balls in the spoiler
Are coming in as a gag. Well it will be to see what it includes and how it flows.

BTW Image Stitches and pic dump are done in the BLOG:
http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/09/image-stitches-and-pic-dump-of-yuru.html
With over 350 pics, I have outdone over 3 hours cause I though the fans might like it. Oh well my loss of time.

Did this week's episode have a guest animator or something? It was much higher quality than a typical Yuru Yuri episode.

This episode was beautiful and awesome at the same time, no doubt this has been one of the greatest so far. Easily one of the greatest comedy animes out there and now that this season is ending, I would REALLY love if they announce a third season, 'cos I think this show deserves it so very much and I think everyone will appreaciate another one :D

I WANT MY TEARS BACK!!!...was what i was thinking when i saw the last minute.

But i guess this is quite common in some comedy animes i see, drama episode, only to troll you in the end (see Nichibros 13).

Still, amazing take on the drama, i didn't expect to get a bit teary eyed from this despite it being a comedy anime. Akari was the star, finally, just finally. And she's at her usual, which i do love her for.

Best episode of the anime for me.

Sadly, last episode next week, hopefully it will be good.

This episode was too much for my tiny man heart, I was crying at the end.

Funny thing is, this is probably the most memorable episode out of the whole series, and stars our unfortunate back seat protagonist, so she just gained back all the presence she'll ever need.

Just amazing. I feel like watching the first episode again to remind myself fully of these events. I really appreciated the Akari devotion, I didn't think she could get any better! Everytime she says her name backwards I can't stop laughing. Also glad to see more of her obsessive sister too.

Comedy gold, definitely my favourite episode.

More Nishigaki and Matsumoto is always nice, but the real prize is Akane. It's nice to know that despite being a crazed stalker she really does care about her sister.

Seems like this was a clip-show episode, makes sense.

Very nice animation when the time machine re-enters the real world.

I was able to control the waterworks until Kyouko of all people started crying. I lost it. Even Chizuru had tears in her eyes, and she barely knows Akari.

Then of course that ending, while completely expected, kinda ruined it. All in all a great "story" and I wouldn't mind if Yuru Yuri spun off into things like this more often. 10/10

When do I get to see Mahou Shoujo Akari-chan?


Totally Agree with you. Loved the episode, but it made me tear up when kyoko started crying and everyone else. Finally let us know that they really do care for akari. Which is nice because she is my fav character and even though the things that happen to her are a LITTLE bit funny i still nod in disapproval or I just feel bad. I love these series.
And like someone mentioned in a thread before (For ep 10) that they don't age, is a relieve. Because I really don't like stories where the people grow and grow. makes ME feel like I'm wasting my life or something..

Anyways well I hope there is a 3rd season, and LONGER this time PLEASE!

This episode was without doubt one of the best in Yuru Yuri. I cried like a baby. Then Akari went back to future and Kyoko as the first of all started crying. I couldn't handle it. My eyes exploded with tears. I'm so easy to move! ;~;
Toshino Kyoko... your story moved me deeply. Thank you~!
Although there were very laughable scenes. Akane is for sure an epic sister :D

This is really, the best episode of Yuru Yuri.

Seriously, even everything was something that Kyouko drew, the story still soooo awesome. One moment you'd laugh hysterically, the other moment you would have tears in your eyes. It's just ... soo good.

I think they got me right when Akarin realized that she shouldn't change anything in the past, and all of those flashback ... then, when she returned, she saw this:


This is crazy.

OH...MY...GOD!

A good episode...I can't even believe it...I actually felt disturbed for a few minutes that I had fun watching a YY2 episode, but this was genuinely entertaining. Hearing a bit of the old opening, Kyouko humming the intermission music and having a blue face from seeing Akane's room, too good to be true (not to mention the episode wasn't about Sakurako bitching for 22 minutes). It was also quite touching, a 5/5. It probably should have been the last episode.

I feel sad...the whole season could have been this good. What a waste...
