Waitwaitwait, they're hating the fact that she'll be the "first" to be be gone forever? You want her to be around forever!? That's pretty funny.

Nope, I hate her fucking guts myself.

Oh god! Why so harsh and mean, it's Yui c'mon!!

The annoying part of her is so nice! She could have been more annoying though, change the voice actor but the I'd not like her at all then...

Mmm... There's not really any point in trying to convince anyone over the interwebs. If it makes you any happier, I'm alright with her. I know a friend who is absolutely wild about her(and K-ON!...), but not that I'm going to criticize anyone's tastes.

Not a bad episode, I suppose. It did feel a tad bogged down with Diablos EX Machina, though. Also, what the fuck did the guy who stole the water think he was going to achieve? He's stuck in a caved-in tunnel!

Probably my favourite episode so far. Otonashi's story got a great conclusion (which reminds me that I have to register for the organ donor thing...) and the twist towards the end of the episode was nice. It finaly seems that the series is building towards some kind of conclusion since up until this episode it seemed that the authors were just making the story up as they go.

It seems kind of anti-climatic that the leader of SSS would be the first to go but maybe that just means that the big ending will be Kanade's story, which is something I'd like to see.

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.
I read Naoi more as messing with their minds to think they had resolved their issues. It might have been harder with some than others. He wanted the SSS out of the picture and making them vanish was the most effective way of doing that.

They might all have issues, but I think they are pretty happy with being together. I can't watch them interacting and doing the thins they do and think they hate being together. Considering Otonashi doesn't have a clue what is ahead it's pretty crazy to decide to force them to move on. Maybe they would go to heaven, maybe they would fade into oblivion, or maybe they would be reincarnated and lose who they are. Since those who are gone can't say anything there are a lot of possibilities.

I don't think working out problems is so bad, but the way Otonashi is going about it. He's going to sneak around finding out the problems of the various members and then do something about it so they will vanish. He is destroying the SSS no matter what his reasons are. When those who are left find out about this it will be quite the painful crisis for all of them.

Something about the situation just doesn't sit right with me. Otonashi just decided to drop everything and stop caring about what the SSS members think or want. Just deciding for them what they want and thinking he knows what's good for them.

Not that the technicalities matter, but weren't both Iwasawa and Yui "rhythm guitarists" as according to Wikipedia(Lol, Wikipedia as a source). Hisako is the lead guitarist isn't she? Well if I knew Japanese and had a bio page, I'd check.

Well if it's any better, on MAL, Hisako's page says she's lead guitarist. But then that's free to edit as well!

Otonashi acting like a goody-goody, crying for persons he only knew for about few hours, helping everyone like he's some Messiah...

Agreed. While I thought Otonashi's past was interesting, my opinion remains unchanged from the first part: overused much, ESPECIALLY the "dying just as rescue comes, ohnoes!" part.

Tenshi is getting on my nerves too (again, same as last episode). So basically we learn that they've got it all wrong? Boohoo. Then Otonashi decides he's gonna help them "rest in peace" w/o even considering what THEY want ... okay ... you do that then o_O

All in all, I hope the last few episodes are better, but I doubt that. Past few episodes have brought my intended score down quite a bit

This episode made me cry. I thought it was so sad that he was going to die after taking care of everyone else, and then cried even more as he and everyone started signing their organ donor cards so their life could have meaning. Then I cried even more after he died as they were being rescued. It's just so unfair how that happened because he was such a good person. It really makes me hope that these people are all given a second chance at life, but I doubt it, unfortunately. The fact that Otonashi was still able to be proud of the fact that his life saved someone made me really sad and happy. This show is so good, it really knows how to play to our emotions--or at least to mine, haha.

Dude, ya know which part of this show makes me hyper? The bgm, the background music played during the time they signed the donor cards, hey, that bgm is overpower but I can't seem to find it anywhere... If I could get a grab on it... That bgm has been played some scenes, episode 5 when kanade stops otonashi from leaving the classroom and she tells him her name, the music is also played during that time... Damn, I want it, the bgm.

From what I can gather, the BGM/OST will be released on July 28th. Yeah, too far away. Actually, all of the singles that will be released are on there as well. "Little Braver" is out next week on the 9th... Unless it's leaked.

The rescue team wasnt all that bad. They were saved were they not?
and if it werent for them arriving late then otonashi wouldnt have signed the donor part in the card and wouldnt have inspired everyone else to do so. Otonashi ended up as an exellent addition to SSS.

Although i want to see something like if otonashi were to disappear then he would wake up in the hostpital with Igarashi and the other survivors praising him as the hero.

I loved this episode, I'm a big fan of an apocalyptic setting (it was close enough) and I fealt Otonashi's death was had a large emotional impact.

On a side note, what is Key's obsession with amnesia.
Misuzu from Air
Yuuichi from Kanon
and Tomoya from Clannad forgot all about Kotomi

The organ donor part was a nice addition to the episode.

Otonashi died a hero....right before they broke through and saved everyone else. Tough luck on his part.

The moral of this episode: be an organ donor. And go to school. And don't get the student council president removed from office.

From the video preview, I actually thought that next ep. will be Hinata's turn since there's a lot of baseball imagery there (and we all know his backstory).

And after he disappears, Yui will say her line "All my happiness has been taken away."

Going to realm of speculation, I assume she meant about Hinata, and further speculating, she might discover Otonashi working against them. If this is true, I sense complication.

I did see quite a bit of baseball so I figured it was either going to be that they were going to help Hinata out but indirectly see Yui, or take care of both of them.

Either way, somebody's gone next week.

Next episode there's either Hinata or Yui in the prime to dissapear !
So, there are 3 more to go ! It's quite interesting to know ...how will all of them dissapear in such a short matter of episodes !

Nah, I don't think the water matters too much, he was injured in the stomach and the water only made him dry, exhausted and a bit weak I think. But damn, that moment was so nice, the bgm and everyone filling their donor cards were great synced!
