LOL, fire in the hole.

This episode was amusing and these kid shouldn't play around with objects they have trouble using. Really cute to see Noel trying to cheer up Shione. About time Nonoka and Shione made up too :3

Funding to make a planetarium!

Noel glistering at all those tickets, she saying that she can't go is sad.

That fire, MAX POWER! xD

Nonoka leaving the important message to Noel and Noel telling that to Shione.

It was nice to see Shione's perspective and feelings. how she always had waited on the bench :/

>.< Noel was like a little older sister cheering Shione ^^

Seeing the two made up was really nice! Lots of hugs and tears!

Granting the good view... I thought for a second that Noel is going to disappear to make everyone "happy."

Shione with her sudden change in attitude and not wanting to be friends! Noel ;_;

Well that's what she hints.
"We will have a great view this year" (of Meteor Shower) so it means the saucer will be moved or disappear with Noel.

Shione backtracking at the end there must have something to do with Noel. Annoying, but I figured we had too many episodes left for everything to go that smoothly anyway...

Oh and if Noel really disappeared next episode what would we even do for the last 4?

Love this series, nice and relaxing with a bit of drama.

Anyways, I was glad Shione and Nonoka could make up. Always made me sad they were fighting in a sense. Nonoka should have told her friends she was leaving, but not her fault she left due to her mothers health.

Anyways, guessing Shione backtracked because she probably realized if her and Nonokas wish comes true (watch the meteor shower together) then Noel would vanish. So now she's trying to distance herself from Nonoka. My guess at least.

Ok I liked this episode but I was like "Wtf Noel already told 2 people that she is the saucer and no one gave a damn". Finally Shione realized it at the end of the episode. Now she wants to stop Noel from leaving and that's why she changed her attitude. :(
Poor Noel, I really don't want her to leave but I guess it's inevitable.

Both of them had memories of Noel from way back and she hadn't changed a bit. Considering the saucer is already supernatural it shouldn't come as too much of a shock that she is too.

I have a feeling Noel will indeed leave, but at the end they'll form another summoning circle to bring her back. If they can summon the Saucer once, then why not twice?

Damn, the people in this anime are sure slow, like way too slow.

I would have loved if they showed us the people' reaction to the saucer when it first appeared, or something similar.

I would also like it if the Saucer and Noel are all a part of the group's imagination, damn that would be cool.

If they were just going to backtrack on it 10 seconds later they really may as well not have bothered to have Shione and Nonoka make up at all. That scene where they made up was a powerful scene, but the show has shot itself in the foot here by undermining that moment.

And how on Earth did it take Shione so long to react to Noel saying that she was the saucer? And why the hell does that mean that she and Nonoka can't be friends?

Well, there are 5 episodes left, so it figures that they have to do something to drag this out. After all, this has so far been almost entirely built on the character drama. With that all out of the way, there would only be so much that could be done.

Noel: "I'm the disc."
Nonoka: *fucks given count: -1*
Shione: *currently looking for fucks to spare* Wait... here's some, crap, now I've too many.

And I don't think I've ever seen a character go 180° and then back so fast, that re-introduction was really cute though.

So she realised that the saucer (thus Noel) would disappear once the meteor shower comes; not wanting this to happen she cuts her ties with Nonoka again? Either for Noel's sake, or because she's angry at Nonoka for not realising such a thing.
For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Yes but shouldn't they be a little bit surprised at least? They never expected to call a girl with it. xD

I've never really watched an anime that's main huge focus is friendship, but this anime just hits me in the feels each week.

I had been craving that Shione x Nonoka moment, then the ending happens and Shione is worried about Noel and I'm just trying to prepare my heart for next weeks' feels lol

I concur with other posters that Shione might be trying to keep Noel from leaving, and that is why she steps back from renewing her friendship with Nonoka at the last minute.

This was another really good episode.

When Souta got swerved hard by Yuzuki at the bus stop, I thought he'd just sit there like a spineless dude; but he paid back soon after pretty well!

What type of weak bulb were they using for the planetarium? Max power shouldn't have been able to cause fire at the very least.
Koharu's late reinforcement was pretty funny; especially how Souta screamed just before getting splashed. XD

Shione probably doesn't like the group at all; saying "Did we really call that saucer?" and leaving the room without further words proves it. Either that, or she was just having a bad day. Or simply, she was being melodramatic like most of the characters.

Nonoka's flashback was nice. More than her conversation with Noel, I loved the background OST! It automatically gave me some feels! Skip to 11:45 & 12:12 to listen to it.

Leave it to Noel to comfort and convince Shione. Headphone Actor admits that it was her fault that she couldn't trust Nonoka fully.

Nonoka and Shione finally makes up by confessing their sin of forgetting about her friends and being distrustful to her beloved friend, respectively.
When Shione was asking to be friends with Nonoka again, I couldn't help but think she sounded like Hase Yuuki from "Isshuukan Friends."; which made me laugh out loud a bit. XD

Too bad, Shione turned 180° right next morning and rejects Nonoka once again. All those meaningful emotional conversation between two friends from last night; gone in an instant! Sasuga Headphone Actor.

Decent episode. Jokes aside, I think Shione has a legit reason to tell Nonoka that she can't be together with her anymore and it's most likely related to Noel somehow. It's been hinted from the start that she would disappear in the end anyways.

They are all friends now.
But she took a while to figure out what Noel had said.
The ending was obviously to avoid Noel disappearance. Which most likely will happen :(

Well someone finally cares about how Noel is the SAUCER. That's probably the reason why Shione went total tsundere on Nonoka and said "Can't be your friend anymore peace out."~ , but I was hoping Nonoka could get another slap like before that would be priceless. Nonoka will still probably my least favorite character in this show due to her blindness to the world and people around her.

Lol seriously. I'm with people here that it's weird how both of them pretty much had zero reaction to what Noel said. Well except the ending. I mean yeah they accept that they called a saucer, but that doesn't mean they it's shouldn't be a surprise or worry that Noel is the saucer (again, wtv that means. She can't literally be the saucer and Noel at the same time unless she's a human projection of the saucer or the saucer is a part of her/she is part of the saucer. Which does not equate to her being the saucer. Okay so maybe that's too complicated for Noel to say or think). At least give me some reaction dammit.

Shione's drama with Nonoka was somewhat understandable, how she doesn't want to lose trust again. Trust issues I can understand, but she still went way too far with her slap, something that I will always remember. Being rude to Nonoka may have been some sort of defense mechanism, but being violent to any completely harmless person is a no-no.

Needs more Souta. Planetarium was pretty btw.

Ok first off I started the episode thinking "did I miss an episode?" I hate when that happens, did everyone just suddenly know that Noel was the saucer? If I missed something then thats just me being stupid, but I don't think they ever mentioned it even though it was suggested.

I thought Shione had something against Nonoka because something big happened between them, but it turns out it wasnt really anything. Shione was just a bitch because she's a bitch.

This was a good episode I guess, the only good episode of this series so far. I will admit the planetarium scene was super beautiful, I'm a sucker for those thingies. Makes me want to bust out my own again.

Why does nobody care that Noel is the saucer? Why does Shione think she has to end the friendship to keep Noel? If Noel was the one going to let them see the meteor shower, why not just say "yo, Noel, we made up... you don't have to move your disc self out of the way anymore..."?

And, after 8 episodes, I still feel all weird that people were pissed at Nonoka leaving in the first place because OF HER DYING MOTHER.


Yet I still watch and relatively enjoy.

Not even that, the reason she doesn't remember anything is because of her trauma, yet she's been treated like shit for forgetting. Yuzuki had no way of knowing(I think?) but Shione knew everything. So she should have known/understood why she forgot and didn't come back.

I like Shione's side of the story muuuch better than Yuzuki, but once again there's a huge disconnect that makes it hard to feel the emotion being conveyed. The show just really leaves a lot out on the table.
