YUI T____T
YUI T____T
I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but Yui was definitely my second favourite character of this show, so this episode was pretty win, until the end. I think I actually developed a tear.
Three(?) episodes left and they just introduced a new "entity"? I'm with Archie on this one... Wrapping this up might get messy.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
Pretty powerful ending. Just when I thought it'd sound so half-assed with Otonashi saying "umm... sure", Hinata busts out a full blown proposal.
I thought they were being (intentionally) misleading in Yui's flashback making her look like a quadriplegic, whereas she was actually a paraplegic. It had the effect of making the beginning sad, and the ending light though, so I didn't see it as a cheating technique.
I actually thought the introduction of a new entity would provide a way to end this properly. Whether or not they decide to finish it in one season's another question, but now they've escaped the scenario of Kanade & co taking out the members one at a time.

See this is what i was talking about, Hinata and Yui had slowly but surely developed their relationship ever since they met but to just jump to a full blown love confession felt rushed. I wish they had had more time to properly insert a couple of blushes and awkward moments here and there so this didn't feel so out of the blue.
As for the introduction of this new entity... i have no idea, i think I'd feel cheated if they suddenly came up with a way to fulfill everyone's dreams at once or if they let go of that concept entirely but maybe they have something else up their sleeves with this, i'll just have to wait and see
Though i will say this, a second season is looking less and less attractive every time a character moves on so part of me wishes they manage to successfully wrap this up with whatever time they have left
It didn't feel rushed or jumped at all in my opinion. Hinata watched the baseball practice for a day and it's more than likely he at that point realised what Otonashi is trying to achieve. So, he had an evening, a night and a day to come up with his decision to intervene, should an opportunity provide itself - like it did. And it's not like he wouldn't have already felt that way earlier. This moment simply was the best possible time to do it and he's surely the kind of guy who would cease such a moment. Tactical decisions and timing are important in baseball, after all, har har.
I can't really foresee at all how this is going to end with the new entity and everything. I can only hope Otonashi and Angel will get a good resolution.
Well i hate it when shows do that ( yeah i'm looking at you Lost ), character development shouldn't be happening behind our backs it should be on plain sightOriginally Posted by Kraco
I don't know how it's going to end either but i do know that Angel is going to show off some white wings on the final episode, probably saving Otanoshi from something
It was sudden, but I didn't think it was rushed. Hinata must have rushed to say it, since Otonashi's hesitation would only cause Yui more damage the longer he waited, but everything he meant everything he said, so I don't see the problem with that.
They weren't the type to openly admit anything anyway unless something drastic happened. As you said, they already shared a love-hat relationship (best proven by Yui's "I'll come meet you soon" or something similar when he died in the trap system [again]).
The drastic "push" for Hinata was seeing the baseball game and coming to terms with how he felt, realising he really did like Yui.
Yui's own push was Hinata's proposal. she wouldn't have disappeared if Otonashi answered "yes", since that's not the person she would want to marry anyway.

What I want to know is how Hinata figured out what Otonashi was really doing in order to want to help him.
And I wonder what caused Yui's death to being with... she was paralyzed, not on a death bed...
I felt it was obvious how he figured out. No one really gave Yui the time of day or cared much about her. Then here comes Otonashi and Hinata saw probably at least two full days of batting practice. He was probably eavesdropping when Otonashi asked the "What else do you want to do" question. That probably gave it away.
[Nipponsei] Angel Beats! Insert Song Single - Little Braver [Girls Dead Monster].zip
Contains "Shine Days" from Ep 10.
I've been thinking about the end of this ep. what are the chances that this entity is the reason for there being an angel in the first place? like angel's goal is to help these souls move on and such and the entity is a form of equalizer where it would try to get those that refuse to go or something along those lines. I mean angel has defensive capabilities so in a sense she has what it takes to potect them and if you look at her personality she is uptight with rules and whatnot so its probably not farfetched to say that she is the student council president for a reason? from what I can understand she was like everyone else yet she was the only one to gain her abilities one way or another. the entity could also be some sort of reset button for this world (i don't think we've been given a time frame yet ) but it seems like the school year is coming to an end and it doesn't sound like these guys have anything to do after the school ends...
Well, that marks that last GirlsDeMo single. It was as good as the rest, though the last song wasn't as mellow as the previous two versions. I'm not sure which of the six songs I enjoy the most..
Also, while browsing through Wiki again (actually looking for the release date a few weeks ago of the last album, since I thought it was June 2nd instead of June 9th), I found this:
I wonder if it will just be a compilation of all three singles, or if it will be new material.A Girls Dead Monster album titled Keep The Beats! will be sold on June 30, 2010.

Double post for new episode.
Completely forgot it was Friday for some reason.

Naoi's attempts to persuade were hilarious, especially now that Yuri seems to have known all along. I'm a bit surprised that his gags don't seem to get old - I still enjoy watching him switch tones completely when talking to anybody who isn't Otonashi.
I think this was the first time TK spoke Japanese. I also didn't catch the big 5th Dan Judo guy this episode, so I wonder where he went.

I wonder what's behind this shadow incident. That's the big question, especially if it's the Guild that has been stealing the computers. Though naturally it could be a lone member within the Guild, the rest knowing nothing of it. But it could also be an experiment gone awry. For all we know, the whole Guild could now be nothing but NPCs if it was a plan that turned sour in the grandest manner possible.
I counted about 65 people for Yurripe's reunion, Angel not in the image.
I guess not everyone was there.
The 5th dan guy could have been at the back, center of the group in that image.
Decorative wings, quite useful if you ask me, at least for a nice show
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Despite that, Yuri's professional roll-landing was just as impressive. I consider myself a Kanade fan more than a Yuri one (I think.. line's thin anyway), but I'm glad they're still catering for fans of each heroine.I counted about 65 people for Yurripe's reunion, Angel not in the image.

Kanade with wings was pure win. And her "battle" was comedic enough (especially with Hinata's "I wouldn't want to be on the other end of that"). Took them long enough to realize she wasn't an "Angel", but a mere "human" like them. I almost /facepalmed at that moment.
Don't really have much else to say at the moment. I think the "shadow" incident could be related to the head guild member, but I'm just basing that off the fact we have only seen him once so far, and they made a strong enough impression of him to make him stand out.
I hope we get to hear about Kanade's burdens soon.

Mazui - Episode 12
Only one more to go
I still feel confused about the explanation -
- so someone got into the system with a memory loss,
- didn't live a life with regrets,
- found love here but had her move on,
- couldn't bear the waiting so,
- created a system that turned him into an NPC, and along the way
- created a trigger that all love is to be eradicated (because this place is not for love?!)
What happened between Yuri and the shadows to get her clothes all messed up anyway?
I'm hoping we get a mention of Kanade's past and why she ended up here (or couldn't graduate) though, since that part's been bugging me.
