Kei is not evil. It's not like she purposely hid the cell phone. She doesn't know about Miyako's situation, so she just treated her as a creepy stalker sending hundreds of text messages.

That didn't happen in the game... :|
Wow, I am completely speechless, this is by far one of most well done scene(s)/episode I have ever seen, of any series. Not only so, but one of the more painful and creepy ones too.
She knew Miyako was a threat relationship wise. She saw all the messages Miyako sent,(note facial expression here), then pressed delete. Miyako didn't even get a chance. Okay, evil wasn't really the right word, (I can think of true evil here....), but harsh just doesn't convey enough.Originally Posted by Board of Command
I would have compared her actions to seeing Miyako's love letters on Hiro's table, ripping them up and throwing them out.

Kei is such a bitch. I think "evil" does go a bit over, but very little. She has no right doing what she did, and I bet Hiro is going to go berserk after he finds out the consequences that action entails. No amount of feigning ignorance should be able to save her ass.
Peace.
so... nice boat ending?
Now THAT would be an unexpected plot twist XD
I actually like Kei a lot. I think she makes for a very interesting character she's the generic childhood friend/secret crush character but with an attitude.
As interesting and fresh as she is, a bitch is a bitch.
Peace.
I wonder if they are already running out of money or if this was just purely going according to their artistic vision. I didn't really like this episode, and no doubt the even weirder than usual graphics were a part of the reason. And the repetitive nature prevalent throughout the episode.
It looks like Asou is only now starting to really understand that simple friendship aside a relationship with Chihiro would be a painful thing. He looked as broken in this ep as Chihiro normally does.
Miyako had her reasons, it seems, and I suppose I can forgive her a little due to that, especially considering Kei, who had previously my sympathies, indeed looks like she thinks she has the right to control every part of Hiro's life. And I was erraneously thinking she was just going overboard thinking what was best for him.
Still, you can't say Hiro wasn't to blame as well. He should have at least send a text message to Miyako telling he can't make it. But I guess he's a forgetful artist, after all, unable to really take care of himself with the exception of his work.
DO NOT download the "special" released by Ayako. It's just the opening sung by the gayest voice you'll ever hear.
I'm not sure if it's a troll or not.
Episode 7 was either the result of extreme lack of money or to much LSD because that was just a really strange episodes.
Also side note Nuke gave up on this series with episode 6 so don't be expecting more releases from them.
I really loved episode 7, though I would understand how those looking for more mainstream stuff would get turned off by it.Im pretty sure its not a money issue, since from the beginning it has been aiming for such a feel and style.
Peace.
Since the beginning the series has had its artistic gimmicks but nowhere near anything like this episode had. It's as if they suddenly floored the accelerator with no worries.
I agree with that, just that it had the opposite effect for me.
Peace.
The art and feel to this anime will be what'll make it memorable to me. I found Miyako's mental degradation a little drawn out, but that was probably because I was tired. The artistic style went well I thought. Just want to see the next ep now...
Episode 8 - H264

I actually thought Miyako would crack a lot more than she did, not that I'm unhappy that she's going uphill again. This time, it was Chihiro. Camera and art during her scene was more conservative than last time, but no less effective. I sensed jealousy in Himura as he took her diary.Chihiro as she woke up was a complete shock to me, as it was to Renji. Very dramatic, especially the eye part.
Can't wait for ep 9: Forget me not.
Yeah, the waking up scene was a real shocker for me. I thought she at least remembered her accident and understood her memory problem. It turns out her character is completely fake and she's still just a 12-year-old. She has to start from square one and age a few years in a few hours every morning.
That's pretty hard to swallow.
Not every morning. She only has to remake the personality if she slept for more than 13 hours, which is the said time limit. Otherwise, she still retains some memory of what she was as long as it is covered by her 13 hour memory.
Peace.
I wouldn't describe her character as fake. It's more the cultured side of her. The her after she's put together everything that's happened, and really, not panicking. Everybody becomes someone else sometimes when they're caught completely off guard. I guess this would have been a normal thing for her before she met Renji. That girl who was in the church, the one that keeps helping Miyako, where does she come from, and what's she there for though. Not that we're past the halfway point of the series, I doubt that she'll be someone significant, but I'm still left wondering who she is. Before, her arrival and departure were associated with a paper plane, but now she appears out of nowhere, and seem to just give advice. Is she the person Himura says he's always waiting for? Is he only waiting for Chihiro? Or is he waiting for the return of the normal, cured Chihiro?
I think it takes her much more than a day to "remake" her personality. It might take her a week or a month or maybe more. As long as she doesnt go over the 13 hour limit, she should be able to maintain and build on her personality. In that sense, it isnt fake at all. Its not like she pretends to be something she isnt, but is merely forced to accept cruel facts to keep on living.
I dont think this event is such a common thing. It might have happened once or twice before, but not more than that. I doubt Chihiro herself would want to go through something that terrible again. Unfortunately, because of her love for Renji, she overworked and fainted. Its is incredibly ironic how her desire to keep her memories and feelings is what caused her to lose them.
Peace.
