THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

-Looks like they switched back to the old OP. Good.

-Unlike the last episode, I think this one has a nice balance when it came to tone. It was dramatic, but the comedy didn't feel forced. I enjoyed this quite abit.

-Replay! God dammit did I love those replays.

-I will never get used to Yui's voice.

-So, they can yell during class infront of the NPCs, yet need to use the concert to drown out the noise of their gunfire? But, there was a touching scene involving Tenshi near the end of it, so the concert served some purpose.
In evoking my emotions... ;_;

-Cliffhanger ending.

Overall, maybe one of the best episodes of the series so far. Can't wait for the subs.

This was the most entertaining of the show so far.

Tenshi isn't the final boss now it seems..we now have this other guy. Who knows, maybe Tenshi will side up with purple Haruhi now.

Unlike last week's lackluster episode this was fantastic. I thought first half was maybe a bit too draggy and comedy wasn't very good, though I loved Tenshi's comment when Ooyama confessed to her XD.
Then the second half comes and delivers some fantastic characterization on Tenshi. And GOD that part of seeing her eating curry alone was such a sad sight. I honestly wanted to go through the screen and give her a big warm hug ;_;. She really jumped many rankings up in my favorite character list after this episode.

Me too! :D I also loved how Oyama proceeded to confess to her....he was cute himself. Whole scene was great with the reactions on both sides.

Yeah same here! I also love Tenchi's true name Tachibana Kannade! That part you mentioned was a like a dagger in the heart but you know what made triggered that......it was this!=>

because of that......I hate Yuri now! Tenshi losing her meal ticket like that.....grrrr Yuri must realize that Tenshi is not bad nor that she is what Yuri thinks.....

Rofl I made 2 versions of this:
It's GIF time! Best was for all Yui fans we got our star's debut! She was amazing! Splendid although less serious than Iwasawa...she was still incredible! Let's give a nice warm Yui scream to her concert! Yeah!=>

Other ones would be the famous rocket school desk and Takamatsu looked as muscular as Noda=>
Yuri was nice here and Hinata suddenly blowing up in the class.....excellent!=>
Yuri having a sudden loud mouth was good but also Oyama panick was funny=>
Anyone knows what gun model were the snipers based based on the GIF? Hinata eating spicy stuff.....good comedy=>
Rest of the GIFs are Yui ones and concert ones in the clubs: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=204656 and here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=204658 Overall it was good but Tachibana...... :(

Tenshi is just awesome. I am confused to why she feigns ignorance towards them in the classroom, as they have obviously seen each other before and she should know they are up to no good.
However they did a good job at making the lunch ticket very dramatic, a bit corny but the message was very strong!
So what are they going to do now; get her reinstated or kill off the new more oppressive student council? time will tell!
Otanashi X Tenshi FTW!

Oh damn, shit got extremely real at the post-ED song sequence.

-Ohhh, Kanade=music=Playing piano in the OP. Maeda you clever bastard you.

-But as for the first part, I think all I need to do is say Rocket Chair. I mean, I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in a Key anime before. The first time it was just "WTF JUST HAPPENED?" which is something I assume they were going for as they did the Replay. The second time, you kind of saw it coming but not really and it's the "WTF HIS PECS" just added to that. The third time was just icing because you think it's going to be Okayama...but it's Hinata again and it just works. I was seriously dying there.

-However, the second half was just soul destroying. I mean, way to completely destroy a girl Key. It's a good think that Yurippe realized how much of b she was being to Angel Tachibana or else I would consider her a really horrible person. They are definitely playing up that Angel is good but to what end remains to be seen. I did like the new insert song though.

Next episode needs to be here. I also want DVD's for this so I hope it gets licensed when it's over.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Hokuto no Takamatsu at the ED :D

Definitely is one of the better eps. So I guess they are going to stick with Tenshi route for this adaption? With this only being 13 eps, it starting to feel like the original Kanon where there wasn't enough episodes to cover everything.

Makes me don't wanna continue anymore because of them messing around with Tachibana too much! I don't know how the manga is like, but why! I've never thought of her as the enemy! No Yuri!!!
Otonashi, is it not time to go to tenshi's side?


AH!!!!! I just can't bear it anymore!

Though after seeing Yui-nyan. I cheered up a bit.

I rather not Tenshi switch sides completely and work with Yuri. It would be too cliche. In the end, Yuri just seems like a spoiled brat who's taking out her frustrations about god on a girl she probably never even fully understood.

This is going to end too quickly at 13 episodes, hopefully when the writers recover from their overworkedness they re-vamp this with a more proper 26. Still great, and poor Tachibana :(

this one is not based on a visual novel. it's an original project produced by Key and some other production companies.

i loved the episode, the new song and i fully support Tachibana becoming a real protagonist. with that, there will be character development for Yuri and the other members.

and i needs me some romance, so a love triangle needs to activate now

and according to wiki, there will be two more singles released under the name GirlDeMo

well, i didn't mean joining the group fully, but certainly placing her in a more sympathetic and human light. she will have far more direct interactions with Otonashi and Yuri. Yuri knows that Tachibana was at least human before, so she can't continue using her as a vent for her frustrations against God. plus i think she was a little peeved at how well Otonashi and Tachibana interacted in the classroom.

clearly, Otonashi is going to be the actual key to unraveling the whole thing.

The one on the right is a M14 DMR and the one on the left is some bizarre AK spin-off.

The left one not an AK derivative. Not even close. In fact, it' s certainly not Russian, and doubtful that it might even be from a Former Soviet Bloc or client nation. Russian sniper rifles, all of them, are designed very differently from this. The only other Russian option would be a very slight modification of an existing standard rifle, which again looks very little like this. Russian clients never developed anything that far from the original AKs, so that's out too.

The first thing that came to mind was a G3 SG-1 or MSG-90, but there are too many small differences upon inspection. It also bears some notable similarity to the Yugoslavian M76, but a few easily noticed discrepancies knock that out as well.
The closest match I've found is the Israeli Galil Sniper. The stock still seems a bit off, and the ones I've seen have some minor differences elsewhere, but it's the only one I know with the boxy design and distinct stampings.

The one on the right, however, is indeed the M14 DMR. No doubt about it.

Making Angel sympathetic is nothing new or surprising, but it still struck a chord with me. I really did enjoy this one. There's such a fun wackiness to the pointless acts. Though it's important that they're not actually pointless but rather events that sporadically have their connection to the unique setup reinforced. And it really is unique. The character types may be nothing new (except maybe TK), but the setting bouncing off these familiar characters catches me just fine.

On the negative side, I'm long tired of the Christ gag.

A lot of FUNNY AS HELL moments but at the end, I feel sad for Tachibana “a.k.a. Angel” Kanade. I remember during a previous episode that she said she looks like the bad guy. She only did what she had to do because of her being the student council president and because of that, she was thought as someone who is against everyone but the truth of the fact is that she only wants to be a regular person like everyone else, but also the fact that she was stripped of her social standing and moral obligation because of what they did, and also the feeling that you have nobody to talk to and trust, that HAS to be a painful blow for both Angel and the others, knowing that not only they were the ones responsible but also the ones who surfaced a much worse threat.

Now, despite the severe lack of memetic T.K., this is actually probably my favorite episode so far. Quite hilarious (the rocket-chair gag made me laugh all three times), and there was actually an impact when Angel went down. It's really hard to not feel sorry for her. And now I have to wait all week for the after-the-credits scene to reach a resolution. Great.

Great to see that the piano version of the OP is staying as the permanent one. Not a huge fan of the guitar-dubbed version, to be honest; the piano fits the song much better.
