I don't know about Shione but this episode was fun. Shione is still stoic as usual although I find her childhood to be brighter.

Seems like the group is ready without Shione anyways. Stop being mean Shione >.>
Also, poor Noel. This better not end up with some of bad end.

Haha, I actually cried a little with me being really into anything dramatic.

The planetarium was really nicely made!

Their wish of being everybody smiling together making the festival the perfect event to do so. Shione playing the bad person's role despite being happy to see Nonoka again. It was quite sad how it feels that once they are truly able to smile, Noel has to leave to grant other peoples wishes T.T

Noel fainting from being too far from the saucer or that her time is up as she believed she would be able to move on after Shione comes. Shione being mean like that was a little painful tbh... Hope Noel is able to stay somehow while Shione joins the group and become truly happy with everyone, after all... Noel is part of the group too now.

NOEL :(
Ps, I see that a lot of people here dont understand it (posts beyond mine especially) . Shione is not hating Nonoka or something (she cried, you all seen it) . She just doesn't want to be a reason of disappearance od Noel.
I personally dont approve behaviour like that, but I kinda understand Shione a little...

Shione is playing the bad guy for Noel's sake.

I get that...but, Noel said that she was just going to 'go to the next wish' so it's not like she's going to die. Acting that way Shione is only hurting Noel, so I really can't understand her actions at this point in the anime.

So Shione doesn't want Noel to disappear and because of that she breaks her friendship with Nodoka and is even planning on leaving the town.
The question is will she change her mind and is there another way to save Noel.

I hope for them that things will be alright in the end.

So? Even she won't die, they'll still be losing her company. Plus, Noel thawed Shione, becoming her close friends as well. Picture it, she only has Noel and Nonoka in her mind. So I doubt she would want to lose either one of them. I hated her at the beginning, but now I can relate to her.

...I'm very conflicted. After watching this episode, I really felt like wanting to drop it, yet I still want to continue watching it. It's maybe Shione's interaction to Nonoka that pisses me off. What about Noel, really? Did Noel ever done something bad to Shione? I wonder still, what did Shione wish for which brings the saucer in. Seriously, no answers yet? I feel like it's a waste of time.

Ah, the final minute of the episode hints something. Probably like what everyone has mentioned: disappearance. It's not surprising imo. I think that Noel being away from the saucer far away shows that she cannot really live well at far-away places. That's why when she was asked about whether she could attend the festival, she had her own doubts.

For the rest... Yuzuki is... Yui 2.0. Best girl yeah.

I think this officially moved from enjoyable but flawed to tedious to watch with this episode. This episode could have been all of 5 minutes if Shione was just upfront with them about her concerns for Noel, but of course they hafta squeeze out as much drama as possible instead. It's not surprising, but it is annoying and...well tedious as I said.

Yes, she wants to be with them so much that she is moving away to never see them again..... So yeah.... Even if she is 'sacrificing' her happiness so Noel can stick around and be friends with Nonoka and everyone what she is doing is hurting everyone more and not helping the situation. It should be clear that the thing Noel wants most is for everyone's wish to be granted and not being able to grant that wish would make her sad. I don't know how Shione wouldn't be able to put those pieces together.
So I really see this whole thing as nothing more than an attempt to draw out the drama.

Meh... lots of retreaded ground here, and it was really drawn out for no good reason whatsoever.
I don't see why Nonoka would trust someone who has a completely 180 in personality in the space of 10 seconds like last week, but of course there has to be the forced drama. And really, if Shione wants to save and/or be with Noel, she's completely killing the point of it by moving away, seeing as the end of the episode strongly indicated that Noel can't be away from the saucer for too long. Not as though that wasn't at all predictable though.

3 episodes left now, and if this was any indication it's going to be dragged out to ridiculous lengths and constantly retread how Shione is a terrible character and terrible person. Such wasted potential.

I guess Shione doesn't want Noel to disappear, so she doesn't want the wish granted. Meanwhile, Noel faints at the end. Maybe it's due to her being far away from the saucer.

Oh god, I saw the flags and here they are... The fact that Noel said that she'll leave when the wish is granted solidified my prediction. Shione probably wants to avoid smiling or whatever so that the wish won't be granted and Noel won't have to go somewhere else and will instead stay with everyone else. I'll bet that if Noel is too far away from the saucer for too long then she'll disappear or something like that, but she knew the wish would be complete soon anyways so she decided to leave the saucer. This better not turn out like a tear-jerking Ano Hana ending T^T

It's kind of obvious that Headphone Actor is being overly dramatic for Noel's sake only, because if their wish were to come true (which is watching the planetarium together) she will disappear.
But didn't Noel herself say that once a wish is granted, she'll get called over for another wish? It's not like she'll be gone once and for all. Shione needs to chill out.

That planetarium was awesome, more than so the one that was recently built in "Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete". Put that Astronomy club to shame.

Decent episode. Noel is seen to be alright in the PV so everything is good.
Nothing much really happened this time around and I can't really make fun of the show like before..

Shione is being such a selfish bitch!

I understand that she doesn't want Noel to leave, but hell did she even bother to have anything to do with Noel in the seven years that Nonoka was gone? I don't think so, since she just remembered who Noel even was a couple episodes ago.
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

I feel a bit sorry for Shione. She appears to have been a loner before meeting Nonoka. Nonoka was Shione's only connection to the group of friends, but once Nonoka left Shione went back into isolation again. When she was packing to leave she made sure to take her photo of herself with Nonoka.

Shione won't open up to the others because it is not in her nature to do so.

Oh yes. The music is easily the best part about this Anime. It's the most beautiful BGM I've heard in a long time, and this episode in particular really showed it off.

But Shione... goddammit, I've tried my best not to hate you for the longest time, but my patience has run out. Whatever you're hoping to achieve, the ends don't justify the means when you're causing everyone more grief in the process than if you'd just let things happen like they should already.

Ok, Shione is started to become quite the bitchy nuisance.

I get that she is trying to stop Noel from leaving, and I totally support that. Because who the fuck doesn't love Noel?

But honestly, had she told Nonoka earlier about this, like before the festival, things could be going differently and they could instead be thinking of a way to keep Noel around.

Instead, Shione's selfishness has put Noel's life in danger because she's been away from the saucer for too long.

As much as I would've loved to see everyone in the planetarium together, it would've made Noel leave. So I'm glad she stayed, but there could've been a better way to go about it.

quality of art and animation took a dip in this episode: mostly in the middle



Souta's hair...looks like it had a big lock of hair on his right side removed. Nonoka's legs stretch too far in length during her running animation in this sequence as well.



Why is Shione's right leg bent inward when she's just looking out the window? It should be relatively straight.
I don't consider myself a good judge.

It's confirmed that Noel's going to disappear but I don't think Shione's doing it the right way. Can't she teel Nonoka or else things get worse? I don't get her but she's has been a pain in the ass for 9 episodes now.

I hope the final is not trivial, for the rest, an episode with a peaceful and enjoyable narrative, no twist original; the ending was obvious for me.
What I really liked is the OST and the sympathy of Noel.
The drawings were not bad, they were really beautiful when they showed the protagonists from small, that cute!
Animations created well.

This was good and bad at the same time. Festival was ok but I was not fond of the drama. Shione has to be the most obnoxious character of late, I really can't like her, there is no logic in what she is doing. She is hurting Noel more by not wanting her to go away. So instead of happiness we go another chunk of drag out drama.

The hell, the drama in the series runs in circles and Shione is always in the center of it.
By now it's overused, boring and highly illogical. What's worse, this endless spiral is making me like this series less and less.
