It would have been hilarious and totally unexpected though =P
Ah don't forget the crazy Higurashi loli laugh!

Anyone at least wishes that it would appear in an omake or something? I wish they would make a parody episode of it on a special DVD release or something, would totally give me a reason to buy it =P

And I'll get serious again once I see episode 10. For now, the power of Chihiro vi Brittania compels you! xD

It was Chihiro's scene this time that wowed me the most. I agree that Miyako never had a mental breakdown, but an emotional breakdown. Mental breakdown would be like this...

Im a bit confused with the relationship Kei has with Hiro... She keeps Calling him Oni-chan that i know means older brother.But shes in Love with him... Also we saw that at past the twins and Hiro were hanging out a lot together now what happened?I mean i thought since Chihiro has the memory problem they found better to "neglect" her... But we saw many time Kei communicatin with Chihiro... Im really confused... Also where are their parents?I love these series so much but im so confused... Well aactually its my fault also cause i watch 5 from the 8 eps a bit drunk and tired like hell... I would love some explanations plz

Are you watching Raw? xD

Well, I don't want to spoil anything, I know that Chihiro, Kei and Hiro's relationship is defined pretty well at some point in the series, so if you don't already know you'll probably find out later anyways.

And like most high school based dramas, parents don't exist, only really hot older people that might live with some of the characters and may never have any key part in the story.

Anybody see 50 First Dates? So a relationship between Renji and Chihiro is possible xD

I was thinking the same thing. >_>

same here. i guess i may just be a romantic but i'd love to think that chihiro still remembers renji because she loved him D= but i just got so sad seeing her freak out. it depressed me.... and i just want her and renji's relationship to work... so badly.. (but not in a cheesy way like in 50 first dates)

miyako = amazing. her and hiro need to be together =)

I'm glad we didn't get to see Chihiro's eye. It'd be too much, and ruin the whole atmosphere of the anime. Come on, this isn't Higurashi...

Go go Miyako. They didn't show her face when she contacted Hiro so I'm not sure if her cheerfulness was a front or not. Either way it's good to at least know she's back on her feet. Kei is going to have a lot of explaining to do if Hiro finds out the truth of what happened.

Poor Chihiro. That has to be heartbreaking for Renji. All that time together lost in just a few extra hours of sleep. He can't give up though. I'm still cheering him on to help her make it through it all.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

My heart literally felt warmer when Chihiro asked Renji if they could hold hands. It was quite painful to actually see what she goes through on mornings when she can't remember anything at all that happened, especially this time when Renji was actually present to witness it.

I don't care as much for the Hirono side of the story but it's not bad in itself. I'm pretty sure that he's going to be pretty pissed off when he finds out that Kei deleted all of the voice mails that were left for him.

*gasp* Another great episode...as to be expected by now I guess xD

But still he slapped her!!! I hate it when that heppens in Animes... it saddens me T_T

And then when she lost all her memories.... I think it really pushed Renji over the edge o_O

I'm so glad that Ef's already completed..... so we don't have to wait for the new episodes... that would be TORTURE @_@

I'm with you too. I don't easily hold a grudge on people, but if she were real, I'd make her life horrible.

And... Chihiro...
Somehow I saw this coming, I mean, everyone oversleeps sometimes, but it's so cruel...
After watching this episode, I am so terribly happy with my life, my health and my genkiness.

I shouldn't take ef this serious, should I?

And here I thought the last ep was really good. Just when everything starts looking good again for Renji and Chihiro, BAM! Most convenient memory wipe ever. Devastating scene T.T

While I'm still not a fan of the Chihiro arc, and while her memory loss was rather predictable, it was handled well.

But that only means that the Kei arc was neglected slightly. The balancing of the arcs concentration needs work. It is improving to me though.

I'm glad they didn't. Sometimes it's best to leave things to the viewers' imagination.

IMO this episode was even better than the last. Pretty intense stuff.

Really? I thought the ED of the last one really made it stand out. Whereas at the end of this one she just casually answered him when he asked it it was Miyako.. not that I'm not happy she was okay.. xD

The scenes with Kei and the filmmaker guy make me a little worried. It kind of seems like they're laying the groundwork for Kei to have him as an alternate love interest, which sounds like the cliche cop-out ending for a love triangle plot; the "loser" is fobbed off on someone else. This seems to imply that Kei "loses". It didn't really just tell us the end of the story that it's dwelling on with such angst, did it?

Good for Miyako. Not so much for Chihiro.

The wedding story was too deep for me. If pretending to accept the vow to marry she pretended to have asked was the relationship between her and Renji that she narrated.. then all that normal wedding ceremony traditions and stuff she tries but with always something wrong means even when she attempted to keep the relationship going in reality as she narrated there was always something unfitting and wrong about it..? And the wedding ended when she threw away all that stuff because she wasn't able to use it, which is the same as her attempts to imitate real life backfired? Thought the other one was voluntary so it doesn't work too well. I wonder if that has anything right.

And now that I think of it I guess that's what she's like every morning she wakes up until she reads her diaries. I was too quick to make assumptions about something backfiring to set her back more than usual ^^

just when i thought chihiro and renji were able to make everything work out for the better, their whole story takes a COMPLETE turn for the worst....

god, when chihiro forgot everything about her time with renji, that was literally a kick to the balls ;_;

the end with miyako and hiro was a little bit relieving, but im really paranoid now that everything starts spiraling out of control for the entire story
