    Good catch. I hadn't noticed the two Kanade in that scene. I thought it was just an after shadow.

    First time in a while I've been able to recognize a voice:
    http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...ple.php?id=438
    Nagisa was there...
    Yes I know, the probability was high considering the teams behind both works.
    Regarding the ep, well, in the same train of thoughts as previous what I just wrote, it was very "Clannad-ish" for the part when Otonashi gets his memories back.
    The guy had to be extremely unlucky to live such a life and die in a train wreck -which is a very rare occurence in a wealthy and developped country-.

    Already waiting for next week's episode.

    Edit: Body double picture. She's in fact invoked by Angel herself when you watch the sequence frame by frame.

    That interested me, so I went back to check. Sure enough, when she does her "split", the Kanade that propels towards the fish had red eyes. Though, I never realized that they actually split during that time, I figured it was her "Delay" Guard Skill; the one she used when fighting Yuri in episode 2.

    But if she did split, she did it after she said "Must save them"; meaning her intentions were to save her new "friends". I definitely think it was Yuri that provoked split-Kanade to rape her.

    It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.

    I found the first part unintentionally hilarious, as the speech and his general attitude as of late wasn't enough to show it they even gave him a fitting haircut to go along with it so us fans had a chance to yell EMO to the screen every five minutes

    Also, Otanoshi's harem seems to be expanding in the wrong direction... i thought Hinata was enough but apparently not

    He seems to be trying hard though, even if Kanade's wall of Ice seems to be thicker than any of us thought

    Nice pic...I actually have the same one but with the cast of Shin Megami Tensei.

    Anyway maybe Kanade might be a drone or something. And the fact that she "saved" rebels could mean that she couldn't do her job as a "Angel" and they send a more aggressive one to take care of the rebels.

    Interesting idea, though it seems that her attack was activated by Kanade herself.

    Exactly!
    You just have to go frame by frame and you'll see that RedKanade is summoned by Kanade the same way she does with her handsonic.

    While jailed, Kanade explained Yuzuru that Handsonic was a defensive weapon.

    I guess that RedKanade is the offensive Kanade.

    Offensive Kanade....

    Bringing that back, remember how she recently didn't have any offensive moves, and all her self-defense ones were developed on a PC?

    She mentioned "I want to save them" right before the attack, suggesting that

    a) It wasn't a self defence move (as David said, so this is more a confirmation than a suggestion)

    b) That the move was developed on the fly, and wasn't designed like the others were. Malfunctioning Bunshin (clone)?

    Nope, I think RedKanade is her Offensive mode, she does not want to do harm herself, so she had to create an offensive version of herself.
    Going back to previous eps, I'm almost certain the one giving fatal blows (or most of them) was RK. Might need some time to check on that.

    The only fatal blow she gives is in Ep 1 to demonstrate Otonashi the rules of that world.
    For that action, eyes aren't shown...

    attached, slow motion RK summon and Otonashi stabbed in Ep1

    Yes, but in episode 2 she WOULD have stabbed Yuri if Otanoshi hadn't rammed her and as she went for the kill her eyes were shown to be yellow

    Yes that's true.

    I guess we now just have to wait for an explanation.

    Yeah but she was still defending herself. All she did before that was just trying to discover the Vault or w/e it was called. They attacked so she defended. That was all there was to it. She was just protecting herself.

    In the split second when she's attacking defenseless Yurripe and about to stab her -although still about 50cms away from hitting her-, her eyes are yellow and no Red Kanade is there yet.

    Double post for episode 8.

    Mazui - Episode 08


    ---------------


    Not enough cute Kanade, and yet, not enough badass Kanade either, this episode. It was surprising that the team was able to deduce her "skill" (and even thought back to the fish incident where we all noticed her eye colour change). I can't believe I didn't think back to the time they "infiltrated" her room and found that "new" skill where the model splits in two. As soon as they started talking about it, I remembered it, and /facepalmed. So we (should have) knew all along that it was a skill she created for intent to use. But, as Yuri found out, there was an error in the program that prevented it from activating the "Absorb" command. It makes so much sense now, after this episode.

    I didn't like how Yuri tried to alter the program/create a new command... I just knew something bad was going to happen. At first, I thought it was the mass production of the clones... and I was like "Good fucking job"... but turns out that wasn't the case (Clones making clones, huh). In the end though, I would have preferred that over the whole "multiple clone personalities combining into one, fragile body and wrecking mental havoc" situation she put Kanade in. Too cruel...

    The events leading up to the end of the episode were boring and predictable... but at least they realized it was rehashed, so they moved past it quickly. I didn't expect Yuri to be able to overpower an Angel clone, especially with "Distortion" active... but I guess she can't hold that while executing "Howling". Should have seen the earplugs coming though.

    Yui's death was hilarious for some reason. I LOLed in real life.
    Was totally expecting Otonashi to hug Kanade BEFORE he asked her to activate "Harmonics", but it was just as touching when he held her close as she was convulsing from all the clone personalities entering her mind.
    Can't wait for the next episode... I'm hoping my Kanade isn't broken...

    EDIT 2: Just saw this image. I LOLed again.

    I didn't like it how the clone's personalities took such a quick turn to the sadistic without a proper explanation as to why that would happen. I mean i could come up with some myself but the fact that they didn't address it made it look like a lazy thought out plot device

    Being immortal sure makes for great comedy, every time one of the them got stabbed in increasingly hilarious ways i couldn't help but laugh and Yui's was the cherry on the top

    Yuri got some major points on this episode, unlike a certain other megalomaniac character she can actually back her shit up with quick wits, careful planning and intelligence, no shitty omni magiks and "owns at everything because she has to"

    Those fucking clones better now make any permanent damages to MY Kanade, i want her to get though her problems on her own not with some clone induced acid trip
