Eh... can't say I enjoyed this one. The guard skill mechanics were way too weird and contrived. Got a bit of amusement out of the lighthearted ultimate sacrifices even if they left me wondering why *name forgotten* didn't try hypnotizing any of the angels, but the episode was overall lacking. The serious/heartwarming drama and mysterious world mechanics both fell flat this time around. Also, all the running gags aside from TK's existence are starting to wear.

The one thing I've learned from Angel Beats!: Ignorance is evil. In the beginning, Yuri succeeded in stripping Kanade of her student president position only to find out their theory was wrong. Now, she modifies this program and hurts Kanade even more. Like the saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." (I've always wanted to say that and this fits so perfectly, lol.)

As for the episode, can't say I like or dislike it. It was just is. I'm not too crazy over TK so he didn't help and Naoi's continuous "Everyone's an idiot except Otonashi" was stupid. At this point, I don't really care where Angel Beats! go anymore as long as they give me a proper ending for Otonashi and Kanade.

Oh, someone mentioned .hack earlier. I've not watched .hack but when Angel Player was introduced, I started thinking Angel Beats! might all be a RPG game. They're not dead, just not "alive". ;)

this was a great action ep.. with a few epic lines (2 at least going to TK) I was hoping for more development - I suppose that comes next episode though, especialy with what actually happens to Kanade IE How she will "Pay for it" as they say.

And Yuri kicked some ass - Gar style. Though I dont think she intended for all this as some do.

Ah well hoping for a better overall next episode*

Ive actually been pondering theories like that with a few people since the start myself.. Though in a way I find them to be shots in the dark its hard to say. I mean if you REALLY think about how many people have we seen RL life from our main cast? - - honestly ?? In my opinion none - they havent shown the deaths. So who knows where it will go. Also I agree with others this was more suited for a 18+ episode anime for better development.

One of the best episodes yet!
The action made my day. Did y'all see Yuri? She was doing all these moves I was all "Daaang gurl!" She was so badass!
T.K.'s randomness at the classroom all swinging his arms=pure hilariousness!
But this anime is still rushed and confusing it's frustrating!!
Yet I still love to watch it XD

Don't think so, I believe the script of Angel Beats is already finalised and there wouldn't be room for a S2 when this ends.

Unless Maeda decides to come back and write some random thing to milk to cow off all it's money.

Great episode!!

I was amazed that all the speculations from last episode about the clone being from harmonics was really right, I was expecting something like "Oh, so that's how it is, I never thought about that"..

TK just OWNS!! Lots of EPIC TK scenes and lines in this episode..

At the point where their situation was explained in the guild, I had a fairly strange feeling of deja vu.. and there it goes, another epic scenes of noble sacrifices from each member, only leaving Otonashi and Yuri again as the survivors.. Still I LOL'd a lot from those scenes.. ahahaha..

Argg!! My life is getting shorter with every cliffhanger I get from the episodes.. another full 7 days of waiting in hell again.. XD

Hope everything turns out fine for sweet Kanade.. <3

Nice to see Yuri doing something to remind use she's in fact a main character (completely forgot about that till now =P), she was pretty cool this ep. More Kanade suffering brought to you by evil clone assimilation. This won't bode well for her.

Fuck Yui cockblocking the homo again.
Agreed. I'm disappointed they never had that fucking cockroach getting impaled. I was waiting for it =(. The writers seem to have an aversion towards GirlsDeMo. The other members keep getting left out of briefings and Cockroach probably tagged along the mission despite not having to. Big load of use she was.

Everybody sacrifice themselves but T.K. part is the best.Good thing no one say anything to Naoi because what he did to Oyama...that fucker >_>

This episode is better than last one.Although there are some part that bugging me but I can't exactly point what is it...
I hope Kanade will be fine...her scream indicates how much pain she receives.Hang in there girl!!!

By the way,where the fuck is Takeyama(Christ) when they need him???

I really liked this episode. The first half of it was incredibly funny. xD TK, man. TK. It's sad that the show's already ending so I don't think we'll find out how he died/his past. It's a shame, really.

... I see everyone loves Yuri and thinks she's badass, so am I the only one who doesn't like her and think she's a poor character? ;-; Really, appearance aside, everything about her personality is copied from Haruhi. It gets boring really fast. Mostly I just ignore her the whole time.

The hypnotism part was effin' hilarious. xD Then again the whole guild part was. Sadly, that's just all it was. You can tell the animators needed to get rid of the ridiculously huge number of characters so that they could leave Yuri and Otonashi alone to fight Tenshi... like they've been doing for the past 8 episodes. As much as I LOL'd at it, yeah, it was pretty cheap. Besides, why make so many characters in the first place when you're just going to cut them out every time? Isn't it weird that this is Key's work with the most number of characters and the least number of episodes? You'd expect them to make at least 24 episodes to give each character at least a little bit more of spotlight. Geez, AP Works/Key apparently can't plan animes very well.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm really enjoying this anime, it's fun, it has blood, boobs and some BL fanservice, but it also has a lot of flaws. It's not something you'd expect from Key.

Here's hoping they'll announce an anime adaptation for Little Busters! when AB finishes airing.

PS: Yes, someone please make Yui disappear already. She's useless! ;_;

PPS: Naoi = <3

Well, Yui has grown on me a lot and I actually like Naoi because there's just something creepy about him and that's great to me, so no complaints there. Even Yuri is starting to bug me a little less but she is definitely still my least favorite character.

I was also wondering where Christ was the whole time.

I'm enjoying this show, despite it's flaws. I don't know what it is about it, it's just cool to have something that I'm actually excited to watch every week.

Oh and TK is just a hero to me. What a sweet prince. I love him.

Otonashi should get the manual for see if theres a way for save Kanade of getting any change, but I should predict that the next thing that would happen is the "bad-then-good-ending". And I also think that there may be a S2 or at least an OVA/special xD...

Good episode. I liked all the self-sacrifices, and Naoi is actually growing on me a bit. Definitely like the gay moments he has with Otonashi. But as for the drama... well, it's a little intense, I guess (this anime is good on comedy, but only so-so for the drama for me). I just want Kanade to be normal ;_;

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

There's a big plothole in this episode.

So supposedly Kanade's abilities are synced with her computer (God knows why since it's such a stupid idea) and Yuri can just easily modify her abilities just by hacking her computer.

That's already a plothole but the bigger one is this: If she can modify her abilities so easily and the SSS are all afraid of Kanade because she's so strong, then instead of fighting her, why didn't they just DELETE her abilities in episode 3?

Certainly not from the best episodes of the show. I was kind of disappointed because the last 2-3 episodes really raised the bar and this returned everything back.
The whole way of fighting with Angel clones became nothing but a joke instead of epic fighting. and unfortunately am from the people who enjoy the mystery and small intensity moments of this show than it's humor. The last scene managed to make a nice cliffhanger though.

I just hope that this whole harmonic dysfunction has a role to play in the scenario and it's not just something to show for an episode.

this episode followed the same formula as the previous ones, is just comedy + action packed scenes + TK!, not bad at all, at least Naoi explained very well the situation but now his jokes around otonashi are really bad, Yui is funny as always and maybe shinna is the less developed character (even christ have more lines than her) finally the cliffhanger was good but lately I've seen that don't matters because is quickly killed in the next episode, anyways is still a good anime, and personally I think is better than K-On!, the only anime above this is maybe Arakawa but that's another story

I lol'd at the classroom-stuffs~
"Hey, yo, check this out! It's a moonwalk, it's a moonwalk! Head spin!" : D
And now there're a bunch of Tenshi's~ : D <3

Also, lol at Naoi's "You're all stupid.. Except for Otonashi-san of course!" ^^;;

"Trap."
"It's my turn. Get chance and luck!"

So, seems like they get wiped out every time they go down to Guild, eh? ^^
And this time at least, there was some kind of reason behind Otonashi being left until last.
But only one Tenshi left now : <

The end was supposed to be dramatic, with our poor pudding-pie Kanade suffering from the 'Angel' returning into her body...but honestly, I can't seem to care for 'suffering' in this series anymore.
I can tell you exactly why is that. It's because there is no actual "death" in the series. It's all like a game, even if you get fataly injured you will get better eventually and that make the "suffering" kind of... unreal.

But I liked the episode, even the ending. The way Yui slammed into that piece of metal right after badass music started... XD

You can tell Yuri knew this would happen; what a bitch.

The people that got killed by her clones are lucky though, they got to glomp her.

Not to mention, she seems to be jealous of Otonashi's growing relationship with Kanade.
Haha, true, the got to hug Kanade... never thought of that.
But I don't think she knew this would happen, she seemed more oblivous at the end than evily smirking...
Jealous? I wouldn't call it jealousy just yet...
