THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well that was quite the alley hoop up in the sky with Rin to start. Kengo sure knows how to do the boost to jump up in the sky, albeit dangerous still.

As the episode follows Noumi went super MOE on all aspects and thus many times death lunged over a racing heart. Alas I made it and it was quite the MOE ordeal. One of them being the following,

Noumi's feet + Noumi in the light + Noumi MOE OVER 9000 = MOE heart overblown to blow up. Noumi in this episode was a like a fresh Energy Drink Can that wakes you up from the fridge. It was so much of a chilling MOE infusion that it would be hard to compete against it.

Mio was quite nice for the intro under that tree in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2038/hth45_zpsb231abb9.jpg
Whom is a Stitch and I like her appearance in general.

Finding a roommate can sure be a bitch when you have Haruka's sister looming over you.

I did not like Fang Inconsistencies like in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2038/1353764086721_zps17e7a3cb.jpg
that looks too long TBH. To be corrected.

Other comments randomly would be….those girl in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2038/1353764393268_zps9bc430e8.jpg
Are sure scary.

Kurugaya’s blush in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2038/1353764833909_zpse603466c.jpg
Raised the MOE quite high of her fan IMO.

But yeah Mio fan should be happy and Kurugaya got a nice kick ass pose in the following,
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2038/hth34t34_zps60c6b3f7.jpg
Rin blushing was pretty nice but ASAP Noumi does her blushes they overpower other ones.

Really nice of Kanata to pat on Noumi's head. She got happy and that counts for her fans! :D

Well to me Noumi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everyone else. I shall leave it at that and that Noumi got my satisfaction at 1000% put it this way. ONE HAPPY FAN HERE!

So far the best animated/organized episode, with great visuals generally.

I start to think that if they have put the budget of the previous episode into this one... since I saw many super-fluid animations here and there.

I am fine with the new CV of Mio, and Kanata's voice is coming back also.

Does it have to do with the spoiler
concerning that part? Cause I was thinking it's important but we won't know the deal with Kurugaya and her music love till her arc so I think at most it's a huge foreshadow for the VN players of what to expect from this part.

Also WTF are they darkening her face as such she is in a gloom. Makes it very suspicious as there is something totally off. Anything that is negative is a big danger in this series in general. The composure of the light/positive is what the series' strong point and theme is.

I haven't watch it at the moment but it's part of her hobby. Whether it's on her arc or not.

But as of now, I could care less about this episode and what I only need to know is the next episode preview.

This what I have from the preview in the spoiler
anyway of making out what the next stuff can be? Surely more Noumi and Komari but I see Masato eating a shoe event, does it mean anything?

Finally watched it. My comment:


- Did the animation and art improve? Seems they really give much effort for this episode.
- YES. Will&Wish(Kanata Character BGM) got its debut! I didn't expect that.
- I don't know what's all about on the next episode preview. I couldn't recall on the VN.

Just finished watching and im satisfied great episode to introduce Kud
Mio's voice felt different but still worked for me, cant be helped anyway since the original seiyuu cant do Mio at this time.
Throwing Rin scene was as funny as i remembered it
asking Kurugaya to be Kud roommate was hilarious
and Masato... epic as always throughout the whole episode

so just finished ^_^ seems each episode just has to outdo the previous one :D

those two girls that were making fun of Kud as they walked past her, I'm sure many VN players can guess who they are, man I hate them.

Kanata wasn't as bad as last week, still strict, but not totally mean anymore, the writers just have to go all out with introductions huh?

MIOOOOO!!!!!! Finally you grace us with your presence :D dat voice, pretty good ^_^ still prefer the original, but eh well.

Next episode seems a mystery to me, and all of that preview, don't remember any being in the VN. Little Riki in a white room? wut. Either way shall be all good ^__^

I kinda feel bad for the VA change for Mio since I like her VA in the VN but I think I'll get used to it.
Ep 8 is just the average common route episode. I can't wait for the anime to go into one of the character arcs. XD
This episode has pretty good animation compared to the previous episode. I didn't notice badly drawn scenes in my first watch.
Will rewatch later after subs comes out.

Actually, as I observed the surroundings while I was watching it, it seems it's perfectly fine. Unless someone will point the flaw later.

I really think they gave much effort on this episode.

Episode was okay I guess.

That dog with Kud was cute and so was her expressions this episode. Christ, Kanata gets on my nerves sometimes with that strict personality of hers. Ugh.

I enjoyed watching Lizbeth this episode, no joke. She's one of my favorites in this series so far. Onee-sama ^_^

What a boss beauty:

So we finally get to hear Mio's new VA! I do like the old one better, but that's probably due to me being use to her. I do think the new one is a very suitable replacement though so no complaints from me.

Episode dedicated to Kud, best common route episode ever!

The animation looked a lot more crisp, very impressed with the improvement. Hopefully it will stay consistent, but not really a big deal if it doesn't.

Some good lulzy moments too. Like how they added in Masato army crawling while helping Kud carry in her things lol.

as everyone already pointed out, the animation looks a LOT better this episode.. hopefully it stays

with that said, this was easily one of the best episodes. everything was just so clean, and flowed nicely.

mio's new va is cute.. quite different but i think i can get used to it.

next episode, looks like theyre replacing the cafeteria staff and.. more backstory?!?! i'm totally up for some more animated backstory!

Oh, I'll need a while to get used to Mio's new voice. It's not bad or anything, but you know, if a friend of you suddenly got a different voice, you'll probably atleast lift an eyebrow xD

Also, next episode is about the cafeteria lacking people and probably some backstory, yeah (also the shoe-eating might be because no cafeteria people = no food?)

As for the animation, they had three animation directors or something for this episode, iirc, compared to one for all the other episodes (save episode 6, which also had three). Don't expect the animation to stay, atleast not yet.

Edit: Crap, I forgot to comment Kud. Well, I'll just point you to my signature.

A good episode overall. Kud showed off more character than she does in the VN introduction, similar to Haruka last episode.

In terms of music, this episode was a treat. I almost cried when I heard "Approaching Light" (or maybe just from seeing Mio), there was a piano solo of "Exotic Toybox" which was awesome (but too short), and there was also track not from the original VN (although apparently it is in EX).

Kanata also got some development too. We get to see that's she's not a complete bitch. A-chan also got some time. Her voice is a little strange, but it's probably just because I'm not used to it yet.

Same goes for Mio's new seiyuu. It does seem worse than the VN's, but I'm probably biased since I love the original Mio too much. I guess only time will tell whether or not she'll do a good job (probably will).

moar of KUD! and it was great - with her magnificent Engrish and searching for roommate (while placing her with Kurugaya would spice up things it would also lead to at least one death of exhaustion).
Also that Kud's background it was nice touch to show that she's lonelly.

Adorable as always muscle idiot Masato and his camouflage skills - no one would notice it. Nice that Komari still appears (I for one like her character and don't mind her voice).

Plus few "secrets" were revealed

Great episode. The art actually surprised em with its improvements, Kurugaya like scene. Maybe they'll do her route next, but who knows since they're showing tons of peoples routes they could do anytime. I just finished Kurugaya route, so I'm wondering if they'll do her true end or sort of bad end, not really a bad end though.

Not really too surprising to see the best budget of the season so far went to the Kud episode. She's by far the most popular character from the VN so they want to make sure her episode is good.

Thing is, always feel like some troll that will come up and the order changes in your face but yes it seems that is it yet still wonder of the shoe eating incident, was it due to food problems or something else.

Also to see Komari/Noumi developments of friendship.

I assume in the VN they are best friends together and do duos that are rather nice.

TBH Komari + Noumi = death to weak hearts of MOE. >_<
