Very good episode. Too bad it took them this long for me to care about the characters.

Wow that episode!
Want to see the best of the TV series, if they are reserved in the final? Narratively managed to amaze me, showing that trait that was to be the basis to make the anime more interesting.
I'm really curious to see how the anime ends.

Only Shione and Nonoka remembers all that happened, and somehow everything returned to the start, I really hope Noel could come back, I know her wish was to see Nonoka's happiness and Shione's smiling, and it happened coz in the end they are the most closed friends, but sill, I miss Noel!

yeah in fact - i bet you! that next, they'll get there gang to gather and go back to the observatory and instead wish for "Noel to come back" and thats where the anime will end. i think that.

Imo this episode was handled pretty nicely, I really liked it. It reminded me of Haruhi movie a bit esp. when Shione appeared.

Yosh, bring on the finale. I am ready!

I didn't expect that, the parallel reality just before the end is weird. I wait the next episode before to critique that choice.

Took the focus off the stupid drama finally. Don't care if people are whining about the altered timeline or whatever, this ep is better than most.

Did time really have to be reversed? Now? With one episode remaining?

Besides that, I'm thinking that Nonoka and Shoine are the only ones to remember Noel is because they were the closest to her. Possibly?
Music was good in this episode and I hald a couple of tears when Shoine made her entry. However, I don't think it was a good idea (as mentioned) for time to be reserved. Final episode makes me wonder.

It almost felt like nonoka never knew that they transported back in time, and thought everyone remembered what had happened in the past few episodes, when in fact, it'd be only reasonable that the furthest they'd remember was up to when noel left 7 years ago. -_-

WHAAAATTT??? why are they back in summer? why are they back at moving again? why does nobody remember what happened?

Another one of those annoying time jump anime without explanation...

Well at least Shione remembers -.- I was wondering what they are gonna do with two more episodes when Noel leaves that early. Can't wait to see how they finish that mess they've created with the second-last episode.

maybe the rest don't remember because they weren't as close to noel as the rest of the cast

That was quite interesting.
So I guess that in the end, they will all call the saucer again ?


and cause another alternate reality again!?... me thinks every time they wished for something it will all be just a dream and the real world is really no Noel after all...just a hunch.

Blame Schrodinger's fox.

Music was nice, observatory & Shione scenes were well done. Not sure about time loop.
Glad I dropped Glasslip before any time magic, so this episode reminds me of the pre-climax time loop episode in Captain Earth, but the real cause was {spoiler}.

Would've never imagined a time revert would take place in this anime but the fact that two people still know about Noel does mean something and I do wonder how they'll end this anime series off in the next and last episode! Let's hope to see Noel back and a big happy reunion for an ending!

Very much enjoyed this ep, the loneliness that Nonoka was feeling had me really thinking about what happened to everyone and Noel.

The background music in this episode was so eargasmic. I can't wait for the OSTs to come out.

Agreed, Kato Tatsuya is such a great composer. He needs more love.

Half way through the episode I was thinking, they should just call back the saucer. Nonoka (and Shione) have a very strong wish, I'm sure Noel will hear it and choose them. And then they will be happily ever after, since their wish will be to see Noel and be friends forever. This would be the ideal ending I guess after they went the alternate reality route. I would've rather have just an alternate reality in which no one remembers Noel or the saucer, and seeing them somehow all get back together and being friends. Though I guess that would just make all the previous episodes pointless. Like why call a saucer to grant your wish and then everything just go back to the way it (almost) was.

This episode got "Steins;Gated" and it was good
It showed how important Noel was with her bright and cheerful appearance and forgetable the other characters are
Shione coming up at the end made a much better perfomance than everything before that

Time warp eh? I wasn't expecting that.

Spent the whole episode yelling at Nonoka for obsessing over Noel when she should be more concerned with Shione, but it seems that Shione was the one who came to find Nonoka instead.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Ok, so it wasn't a dream. Though I think it would be better if it was.

Cause as the things are now, there are two fundamental problems with this situation:

- time was shifted, something that's possible only if this is a parallel world. present was rebuilt without all things that happened during their school year and before. did they disregarded of everything they went through before?
- somehow Nonoka and Shione gained their memories of Noel which contradicts this change. I presume Shione had same urge to check observatory as Nonoka had mainly because she was close with Noel. But it's not like they could live those memories, those things happened in the end of their first school year.

Wouldn't it be better to continue their lives and just not remembering her? That would left the past intact and only Noel would be erased from their memories. What is this? Another chance to gain their happiness with writer's deus ex machina?

I am very curious how they want to end this mess. Though after what I have seen before I'm not very hopeful of decent ending.

Seriously? I fucking hate it when a series does this stupid alternate reality crap. Why couldn't they just have ended it last week rather than aimlessly dragging it out like this. I'm not even halfway through and I know that this will be a terrible, meaningless episode. What a waste of time. Sometimes a show just needs to know when to end rather than wasting time with meaningless crap.

^This is what I'm going to say.
This show could end with episode 11 and it would be a Masterpiece for me. Sadly they had to ruin it by stuffing alternate reality crap in the FKING last 2 episodes. I initially thought that this last 2 episode would be slice of life story of the 5 friends after Noel is gone. FK alternate reality, it spoil the main objective of the story. Sorry that I can't give this story a high score anymore.

Interesting. So now Nonoka and Shione end up in some alt world where only they know of Noel's existence and the other 3 don't seem to have any negative thoughts about Nonoka.

It's a bit weird not seeing Shione with headphones.

I had to do a double-take at the beginning to make sure I was watching the right episode.

... O_o

Did Sora no Method: The Saucer We Called That Day suddenly turn into The Disappearance of Noel?
This. With Shione as Yuki and Nonoka as Kyon, it almost fits.

I really hope they end this well.

From the looks of it this is the first episode of the ser...oh wait

Only Nonoka remembers what happened from the last episode, That Noel actually existed but Koharu, Souta, and Yuzuki doesn't remember who Noel is that's disappointing to hear

Shione came back but she remembers who Noel is and seeing Nonoka's face she's relieved to see at least someone remembers Noel.
