| Iwasawa had potential to be a great character , but you know.. she's gone now. |
| The music was great i was really impressed. All in all soundtrack is wonderful combined with a good scenario and picture |
| Definitely an awesome episode. The Ghibli reference thing is funny. |
| Castle in the Sky and Howls Moving Castle? I win!!! great ep. loved the music! |

| After Yuri’s lackluster background story, Iwasawa’s seemed a lot better, it still didn’t impact me in any way, but it was better presented; her disappearance was too sudden, though, they had barely developed her character and they already “killed” her off, even having prepared a substitute for her place in the ending. I foresee the same future to most of the cast. The missions are as stupid and meaningless as they were since the beginning. They just discovered the answer to everything: Angel’s not the bad guy of the show! What will they do now that their unjustified reason to battle is no longer valid? I have the feeling Yui’s going to be Iwasawa’s replacement |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Iwasawa :( |
| this is the best episode so far.... i really liked Isawa from the start....her singing is beautiful... so sad she dissappear... about Angel i guees she's just liek them a human who died... i don't know why they think she's an angel ar something big... their operations are really stupid there's nothing big or dangerous at all... |
| Uh, wow. That episode was a huge step up from the previous two. In terms of drama especially... Maybe not development so much, but it did feel like a pretty important part of the story was revealed -- Angel's not the bad guy? And there is no God? And maybe disappearing isn't a bad thing, as Yuri makes it out to be. I liked Iwasawa, her singing, and her backstory... Kinda sad they "killed her off" so quickly. :\ Anyway, at least now I think I can keep watching... since it felt like the story might start moving forward, in this episode. |
| I have got to say, this anime just has wonderful visuals. The animation is very fluid as well, especially the scenes with the singing. It was like a legit AMV. So it seems Tenshi is no God, just another person who has to live by the same means as the rest of the characters. The only difference is, she is able to create those abilities, while the rest can only create weapons (albeit slowly too). It seems to me the abilities are named from musical terms such as harmony and delay. Interesting anime thus far. Let's see how this series plays out! |
  |
| I never had imagined a song being so powerful and significant to actually make me burst into tears just by listening to it... Well, I've got proven how shallow minded this attitude had been. As Iwasawas "My Song" touched my ears and then directly hit my emotions I simply had no other choice than feeling sad and start crying. It was just like she mentioned in the series when hearing music from "Sad Machine"… The vocals literally make you feel to be in a different world while transferring all those emotions to the heart and soul. No matter how often I listen to this ballad, the reaction always is the same and it feels really relieving in a certain way. And the fact that I don’t know the meaning of the lyrics at that moment makes its strength even more admirable. |
| It's improving. |
 |
| Iwasawa.... T___T why did u go? I want hear you sing again... D: |
| i love her voice...so sad...i loved this episode |
| -ILoVelocAlSk8eRbOIs- |
| LOVED this episode. I loved Iwasawa's passion and love for music. (I'm a guitar player so I loved it even more.) |

garfield15 said: "GET CHANCE AND LUCK!" (This episode did not have enough TK) -Jeez, I thought everybody would be commenting on the Laputa and Howl's Moving Castle at the beginning of the episode. -At first, I was like "Oh geez, a stroke? That's kind of lame" then they showed her getting smacked straight in the head with a bottle. Now, I'm not sure if any if you know this but that shit hurts like serious hell. I mean, that could really kill someone (well, it did but you know) -This is one of the few times I actually really want a CD for a show. Especially for that Alchemy song. I thought that loli Yui girl was just making a FMA reference but then I'm like "Oh it's a song" -"Call me Christ." Also, the ED was updated by taking out Imasawa and replacing her with Christ so yeah, she's really gone. Does that mean anybody can vanish? WILL TK VANISH IF HE GETS HIS OWN EPISODE? NOOOOOOO! ^ This Girls Dead Monster RULEZ!!! "Alchemy" and "My Song" were awesome I loved the whole concert scene it was mind blowing (Not even K-ON!) and Iwasawa's seiyuu is amazing Why does it seem that everytime an anime reference is shown and it's censored I always laugh my ass off? I just can't help it |
 |
| Her last song was really touching. |
| Hahah laputa & howls moving castle! I laughed when I saw that :P |
| ♥ |
| She's gone D'= awe! well anyway... the knew guy was so funny how he said pie and everyone was effected X'D i love how he also compared her base to castle in the sky the Howls moving castle X3 anyway this epi was great! her story was sad... im so glad my parents dont fight like that... im sad though that the reason she died was cuz if her parents... at least shes happy now ^^ |
 |
| I agree that the episodes are getting better :) . Definitely like the music. Direction of the story isn't clear enough for me to know how I feel about it yet. |
| Such junk... |
| Great episode. Best so far for sure. But daaaaannnngggg.... sooooo much better in Japanese. The English version just didn't have as much emotion. Poor Iwasawa.. she had a rough past... but then again so did everyone else. *sigh* Gosh... this series is turning out to be really good. |
| ~Izzy Zazztacular~ |
| Wow, great episode, wasn't expecting that at the end. |
 |
| Show has 20 or so characters. I only care for about three of them. One of them was Iwasawa. Now she's gone. God damn it. |
windy said:  wonder why he looked sad after this. :< if he disappears too i'm going to cry. dont say that, he's actually a cool guy. lol |
     |
| The ending was superb!! Iwasawa-san got reborn, huh? <3 This anime is turning out to be a gem. The music is brilliant, along with the character development. |
| I still don't understand this show, though I'm enjoying it like hell!! So this chick died because she fulfilled her wish? |
 |
| 2nd comment of 2012 xD Well... i'm falling in love with the story :' )!!! (but not thinking the same about the chara design) I still don't know the name of the guys but who cares xD |
| Touchy! and Loved the Music <3 Montrovant1488 said: I still don't understand this show, though I'm enjoying it like hell!! So this chick died because she fulfilled her wish? Were in the Same page xD |

| Woah I didn't see that coming! Iwasawa gone just like that was a bit of a shocker for me, the fact that she lived a tragic life but she didn't regret it and moved at her own pace was really something and then when she disappeared/erased/died/reborn-whatever was sad. I instantly recognized the second image, Howl's Moving Castle even though it was heavily blurred, then I sort of connected Laputa: Castle in the Sky several seconds later. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Awww I liked Iwasawa, she was a cool girl. I hope she's in a better place. LOL @ HMC and CitS references |
The plot is developing nicely. The concert was great. To bad no more Iwasawa. |
|
| Wow they even made the effort of replacing the girl in the ED with "Christ" so I'm guessing she passed on...assuming this is purgatory of course. |
| Damn, the first person to leave HAS to be the singer. |
 |
| I lol'd at the Laputa, castle in the sky & Howl's moving castle references: Also, when, at the end of the briefing, TK said "Get chance and luck!" with some beats starting right after, it reminded me of Get Wild from City Hunter ("Get wild and tough"), at least it sounded similar. The Volvic reference was fun as well. Reminded me of the Evian (another mineral water bottles trademark) used in the game (Shin Megami Tensei) Devil Survivor 2 on the NDS. This part made me lol'd so hard ahah The ending with the disappearance of that girl singer was a bit sad. Didn't really understand why she disappeared just by singing a song about her life. We learned that Tenshi is using the same system to create her skills as the protagonists use to create weapons... This could lead to an interesting plot twist. They indeed replaced that girl with Christ-supa-hacka in the ending, meaning she's done for: |

| "Macrosoft Winding XO".....LMAO! |
| Ruh Roh that can't be good, They just lost their diversions... Wonder if they have a back-up for that, or maybe they will find a good way to fight the angel now that they have figured out that she might just be a normal person (assuming that she is normal because she gains power through the same process they do... Although why they don't do what she is doing I don't know). Also LOVED the references to both Laputa and Howl's moving castle from their respective movies, was thinking Laputa looked familiar then they brought in Howl's moving castle and I was like ZOMG lololol. |
 |
| ok i think i get the disappearing condition now. Obey angel, accept fate/fulfillment - reincarnate, Fight angel, - stay in the world of the dead. This episode is providing BIG hint, from my interpretation that Angel is not who decides their fate/make them disappear (erase them) as the gang "initially" thought, since she has to develop her own powers also, not given by God. I guess that explains why the disappearing condition wasn't explained too well (make total sense) cause the gang was NOT SURE themselves, they only ASSUMING LOOOL xD Very interesting!!! BIG hint..... that angel is not as evil and bad as she seems 4/5 ep |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Wow all these girls have such sad memories RIP Iwasawa :') |

| Aw man! Whose gunna lead the band now (I really liked the band scenes b/c of how smooth the animation was in her singing ^-^)! Well they did replace her with Christ in the ED, sooo I guess he's gunna replace her in the band? XD |
| Great episode! I really like Iwasawa and too bad she had to go. Her story was so sad T.T but that concert was amazingly well done, imo. |
 |
| The concert was awesome! Depressed .... I liked Iwasawa But still happy for her .... in a way :') Happy New Life Iwasawa!! |
 |
