this series is amazing

Can't wait to see what happens with Yuri seeing as she would be the hardest to find happiness in this world.

I liked the episode because of the drama part but at the end I totally disagreed with Otonashi about him wanting the Battlefront members disappear.

First of all....why can't he just ask the members whether they want to disappear or not?
Who the the hell he thinks he is by abruptly deciding that it's better for his friends to disappear. If they wanted to disappear they could have done it a long time ago since they knew the method.

But actually....who'd want to disappear(die) from a place where one has free food, no obligation(the can do whatever they want to do), and a lot of friends to hang out with just because 1 single bad memory? In addition they don't even age....

I mean look at Yui.....the fact that she is there means that she has also some kind of tragedy in her past. Does she mope around because of this? NO! She is always cheerful and energetic. Even though she had every reason to acting like an emo she simply choosed to ignore her past and live a happy life there. She even had her dream come true by becoming one of the member of GirlDeMo.

But the same is true for the other Battlefront members except Yurippe. Surely they cant ignore their past completely but they're trying to have fun and ignore the tragedy that happenned with them.

So basically what I'm saying is that you can still live happily even if you had a tragic past especially in a place they're at the moment where they have friends, freetime etc.

Otonashi shouldn't abruptly make them disappear just because HE thinks that's good for them.




Lol, nice opinion since I kind of agree with you but they didn't come to this world for nothing. Everyone has something hiding behind their masks and they are all shouldering memories of I-don't-know-how-to-describe.

Otonashi has realized that in this world, they came here in order to rest in peace and do what they couldn't do in their real lives, it's a fact that they are all died. In this world, instead of resting in peace and just disappear the SSS battlefront are struggling against something they call "god" when they haven't even got an enemy, struggling against god is just something they totally made up, kinda. Otonashi thinks (his opinion) that the purpose of this world is to just disappear, in order to disappear you have to accept stuffs just as they are and fulfill ur wishes and bla bla bla, now he feels so relieved so he can as well just disappear but he wants the other SSS members to feel the same.

Eg. if you disappear from this world you wake up from a coma, if Otonashi knows it, of course he is trying his hardest to make the other disappear too, everyone is carrying a smile on their faces since they have accepted their lives in this world together with each other but that doesn't mean they don't carry any hatred against blabalba "the reason they died of".

If Otonashi could release them all from this hatred and dunno "emo style", then they would feel the same as what Otonashi is feeling, light and relieved.

Well, it's very sad that he is ignoring the other opinions, he hasn't even truely joined the battlefront too, in this world, they don't age, they can keep up struggling for ever, every day same shit happens etc.

If he talked to the SSS members and if they all truely trust and believe in him, then everything would go more smoothly but sadly that is not happening so Otonashi and Kanade is together playing the evil people pulling strings behind the scenes just in order to let them all free and feel relieved.

So... Yuzuru died seconds before help arrived. Poor guy.
Nice story, but kinda boring to watch.

Eeh.. I have nothing more to say about this episode, so... 4/5

There's a reason why it takes heavy duty equipment to get in to the from the outside, you know. This is the sort of rubble that can't be shifted in any feasible space of time by human hands. Besides, they had limited supplies - it would've been madness to exert themselves fruitlessly and waste more energy and water.

It also looked like there was quite a bit of snow? They could have gotten unlucky as it already was weather and and would be quite a hassle to deal with. Some people are thinking quite unrealistically about rescue times aren't they? There are quite a few complications in rescuing, many of which I'm sure you don't know. It's the internet. Go look up the news of the real world. Or as you can see, someone has already done it.

Vento said:
Still, that sure is a huge coincidence that everyone on the train have a pen and a donor card, lol

He was applying for college, was he not? The others, some had school uniforms, while others dressed for work. And then for the last couple that aren't either... Well I carry a pen with me(might just be because I like to pen spin)...

Now the donor card... That's a health insurance card. Now it wouldn't make sense to NOT carry one now, right?


Yep, I have the organ donor thing on my insurance card as well. Everyone has it in my country.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

In any case, at the end of the day, it's all about Kanade. :3

I bet the number of donors in Japan will increase after this episode.

It was a great epi. But I wonder how will they make everyone rest in peace, mainly Yuri. Her past was really something sad, and it's possible that she discovers that Otonashi is colaborating with Kanade to make all her SSS's members disappear. If she does, I don't think she'll like it...

He can't MAKE them disappear. They do it out of their own will, like you said. He just wants them to feel at peace. Is it better for them to continue that way...? To constantly think they have something to regret. Even if they continue to be happy in this life, isn't that all a lie? They're hiding it in their heart. It's a mask. When Hinata was about to catch that fly ball, it looked like he was so satisfied and happier than any eternal life could give him. When Iwasawa could play her song, she looked like she was so happy wasn't she? Friends can sometimes know each other more than they can of themselves, and in this case, I think Otonashi knows what he's doing. He's not going to force them to disappear, just assisting them into feel at peace. If he made another fly ball to second, it's Hinata's choice to catch it, not Otonashi's. That's what I think at least.

I think... They all lived their life the best they could. None of them commited suicide. Even living such a harsh situations, they continued to live. They must love life a lot to continue to want to live. This "happy life" they have right now is ironic. They wouldn't have had it if they didn't experience that first life anyways, and yet they want to rebel for their horrible past life rather than use the ability they have RIGHT in from of them to live a normal happy life?

Yuri sounds like she's going to be difficult to sway, since she's still holding on to her past. And if all of her friends disappeared, it'd feel like she would be losing her family... all over again. That sounds quite difficult to write an ending for but I'm looking forward to seeing that.

And for Yui, if they do an episode for her. I'm sure there's going to be some people that will point out her -unnatural- personality change... Though it'll probably happen in this short time and if they're doing an episode for her next.

It was just so horrible that Otonashi died literally like a second before the rescue team came. Gah...

This show has changed so much from what it was at the beginning. Are they really going to be able to wrap it up with such a small amount of episodes?

I don't think I like the direction this is going in... TT_TT

If the SSS members are going to disappear because of their own free will then I won't have any problem with that. Still the way Otonashi is scheming behind their backs instead of telling them his intention suggests that he wants them to disappear no matter what because he thinks that's the best for them.

As for whether their life there is a lie or not...imo it's not.
All of them have tragic pasts......but they can choose to either focus on what's in front of them and feel happy about it like Yui or TK or they can live in their pasts forever like Yuri.
It's just up to them...
And there are also things like love and friendship that can almost completely erase those bad memories. For example if Yui and Hinata would go out with each other I'm pretty sure they'd be happy and woudn't care about their pasts anymore.

Internal Bleeding. Probably from too much rupturing in the crash. Somehow he was able to hold that in for a week.

Wow I'm pretty damn pissed at Otonashi. I thought it was a pretty solid death and he did at least affect those people before going. But now after this revelation he becomes a traitor to the SSS and plans on manipulating them into moving on. It's fine if he feels at peace, but turning on the others regardless of his intentions isn't something I can respect.

Can't say I saw Otonashi being the final enemy of the SSS coming. An enemy striking at them with the best of intentions. I really don't think what he is doing is much different from Naoi hypnotizing people into vanishing.

As far as I know, Naoi was going to leave them in a constant state of hypnosis, not solving their real problems nor making them vanish.

All the people in the SSS are most likely strong people, and are not outwardly showing the pain they are still experiencing from their deaths. Would you call this a happy existence? We still don't know what happens to them when they vanish, perhaps they go to Heaven and going to Heaven with the pain they feel from their deaths doesn't resolve anything and still leaves them with the pain. On second thought, it doesn't have to be pain, just something that you can't live to your fullest while having it on your mind.

Maybe this place is a purgatory, where God sent these people to solve their problems, because they are people who deserve to have their problems resolved.
