Test of courage and ghost hunting. I enjoyed this episode.

Fun filled episode. I'm pretty pleased with the adaption of the Test of Courage for this episode and ending it with the ghost hunting at the end, which was the mysterious creature from the VN. I actually did beat that part in the VN and I was pretty surprised they put it into the anime at the end of the Test of Courage. I don't think there would be another appropriate moment for that later in the anime.

Glad to see the "Boys don't cry" song towards the end of the episode. Took me back to some great memories about Little Busters.

Mio's arc next, kinda looking forward to see her arc done already, and hopefully in a decent pace rather it being too fast paced though.

This episode was fun and funny. I really enjoyed it.

I'm glad that Mio showed up, I thought she would never appear. What's more, we'll see her more next episode.

I like this episode. Personally thought it was a good idea how they managed to include most of the interesting pairings together. What bothered me was that Mio didn't have her parasol, and well...

Ugh Mio route next week WHY. I haven't reached her route shes my next route in VN. Time to speed through it.


You can do it, skipping already read dialogues in replays give you a faster reach to the next route. And Mio has a good plot for her arc.

They mixed two different side elements in this episode: the 'monster' and the test of courage. I really want to see more baseball practise involved.
4/5, I loved the Team Rin (Rin, Kud, Komari).

but the other 3 dumb creatures make me so pissed off that i wish to punch them at least once!

Was kind of obvious that the ghost they where trying to catch would be a animal it was a nice looking eagle though.
Seeing Kyousouke and the eagle hug looked funny.
And they had forgotten about the other two male members of the team who got themselves looked up in the principles office.

I thought the Anime version could help me get over my hatred over Komari's character but it didn't, her annoying voice and extreme air-headedness piss me off even more, I remember continuously pressing CTRL button whenever she speaks in the VN, also the fact that I didn't read her plot on her arc at all. heck she's tops my list for the most annoying female character of this year O_O also I don't know why but I'm also annoyed with Kud, much like Komari she's adorable, beyond that she's overly stupid (sigh) and her constant "wafu" catchphrase is too forced to my liking.

On the other side of the coin I'm happy that my favorite heroine, Haruka tagged with Riki in the test of courage, in the VN I picked her and Rin as Riki's partners.

That eagle I'm sure wasn't on the VN, I only remember defeating the mysterious enemy but it wasn't a bird was it? but anyway I believe the eagle was made as reference to Kyousuke's



I thought for a moment we'll see Saya sneaking again in this EP since her first appearance in the VN was also during evening when Riki was looking for his "notebook/book?"

I also thought Mio would be left out of this EP but thankfully we saw her midway ^_^

Overall I enjoyed the episode, looking forward to Mio's arc, though the fact is it's not written by Maeda explains why I'm not that much excited over it.

Kinda agree with that, but even Clannad had its share of pointless devalued episodes before proceeding to the tearjerk scenes, this is Key anyway

I like how they combine the courage test with the mysterious animal Rin will fight. I was worry how they will animate the fight, but this is much better than I had in mind. as much as I remember, the humor in the courage test has improved since the vn, but don't quote me on this since I only finished Kud and Haruka route.

That's an epic fail for JC staff though I really don't mind since I didn't noticed that when watching (and the episode was funny).

good episode showcasing every character and how they compliment each other. but what the fuck key. a bird named Pi-chan hugging a human being.

Is there going to be any romance at all or just friendship stuff?

I'm glad they decided on this solution, my favorite pairing for the courage test is Anego and Nishizono-san, at least I got a few scenes with them. Not to mention Rin slapping Komarimax, hehe, that felt good. 4/5, entertaining enough.

Seeing that u rated clannad decently high, u should give this a bit more of a chance. The next arc starts the next episode which will show some more drama. This one will be more symbolism and imagery related so it may be a lot better for you to watch if you are interested in that sort of thing.

To be honest, for this show I would rate it 13+ or even higher instead more because of the fact that, like clannad, it kind of need a higher amount of maturity to appreciate the whole series and theme it revolves around (even though it is exaggerated quite a bit)

Childish humour is a lot better than vulgar humour. Also, stating the most basic of the situation doesn't make your point anymore valid. There's a lot more going on that makes it humourous and fun to watch, not screaming and them being in fear. Also, this show is far from childish. The show is actually quite mature once they start getting into the actual stories. Have you even watched any of the episodes before this?

I doubt it.


Though I understand what he feels. I'm not blaming JC Staff about directing but this is because this is merely a friendship theme. Doing any kind of stupidity that they want for the sake of more happiness on their friendship. They don't show any problems regarding from their friendship unlike AnoHana.

So yeah, most of the people probably including me watching people doing a lot ridiculousness and such are more or less likely painful to watch.

I don't know how you are enjoying such a childish humour ... for me , it doesn't even make me smile , it make me want to vomit .... you know , it's hard to believe that Komari and Noumi are in high school ... I watched until episode 11 because I was expecting something similar to Clannad AF but now I decided to drop it ~.~ .

If that is what you are after, you should probably put on hold this series and watch it all through when the second season finishes because that is when the after story like part happens. The episodes so far are basically the parts where they are mucking around so it may be hard to see tearjerking happening later on. (Komari's arc was too much of a hit or miss to be shown early on)

This is just something from my personal experience. I remember not being able to empathise with characters from books, movies until I was around 15 so I doubt I would have been able to enjoy the arcs or refrain as much as I would now.

If jokes are making you want to vomit, then something is seriously wrong. I can find the humour in this show funny because I can see exactly what makes them funny. A lot of people find vulgar humour funny because not much thought is needed for a lot of the humour. Someone just says something vulgar, then something happens because of that that is either embarrasing for the character or just incredbily sudden. In this, the humour relies more on you looking into the jokes and realising what is funny about the situation rather than down right telling you what makes the scene funny.

Judging from how tired they were at the end, I'm assuming they might have stayed at the school all night, which sounds pretty fun to do if you're with your friends in a ghost hunt.
