In spite of the title, not a musical. But music was the result.
In spite of the rain and the somber tone throughout the whole arc, the most uplifting ending. The weather works in favor.
In spite of all logic, the power of love still pulled through. Keima needs to learn to loosen his grip on logic as well. In the land of fiction, outside the box thinking is the world's most powerful force.
Don't let dropped picks and broken sticks bother ya, Chihiro.
Loved this weeks episode. I already said Chihiro's was one of my favourite arcs, and that's especially because of it's ending. Helped that we had some very nice music placement for this whole episode.
& that scene at the end. :3
I'm speechless. Chihiro was least interesting girl for me while reading manga, but Manglobe completely managed to make her shine.
I take my hat off to Manglobe this week(more like this month)

Agreed. I had the same experience.
In season 1 they really did an excellent job with Kanon and in season 2 it is with Chihiro.
Otskare!
Normal is the best. However, I never did like the way Keima kissed her since it seemed so forced.

Such a melancholic episode... somehow in manga it looked more cheerful :D
Absolutely amazing episode. The music and the scenery were stunning. I had a crappy weekend and this really cheered me up. And a South Park sighting!
Man...Chihiro's arc was so much more melancholic than the manga, not that that's a bad thing. Great arc, and I love that last scene with Keima, pondering about reality and how even he is slowly starting to change.

Overall the music combined with this arc being different than the usual method for Keima I have to give this episode a 10, it was really an enjoyable arc and Chihiro turned out to be a much more likable and interesting character than I expected.
Great arc, and I love that last scene with Keima, pondering about reality and how even he is slowly starting to change.
Yea that scene was just great :).
Also I lol'd hard at the way Keima ate the pork bun from Chihiro.
Great episode. Played out a little differently that I anticipated, which is always great. It's wonderful to be wrong when you think you've got a show figured out.
As much as I like the show's structure, it was still nice to see the scenario played out a little differently this time. Keima was never this show's selling point to me, but in this arc he had a lot of great moments, not to mention funny lines and expressions abound.
I agree with what many of the earlier posters have pointed out about the music as well; it really stood out in this arc. (Though it's always solid in this show.)

The anime's melancholic atmosphere was much better than the comical manga. 10/10 for me!
This was always one of my favorite arcs and this wasn't a bad interpretation of it. It's moments like these when you start to think that just maybe Keima's onto something, in terms of the keys to a successful life.
And then he does something stupid again.

awesome ending. The filler bits at the beginning showing the pace of chihiro before the capture and after the capture is also great. It shows Chihiro change after the event. She is more energetic and moving on to what she really wants.
The scene in the boat too was awesome. I really like the anime justify the story. And 3 episode for the arc is better. Not short and not too long.
There can only be perfect score for a perfect work.
I had to change my shirt after seeing Chihiro make those faces to that stray cat. I Dunno why, but I just snorted and the tea I was drinking spilled everywhere.
Really enjoyed the scenes where they epitomize Chihiro's anxieties by showing her daily life, specifically in her own room.

Chihiro's arc is the best among all of the arcs I've ever seen so far. It took Keima a while to conquer her, he even had to help her conquer a man she doesn't even like that much, but it still turned out okay in the end. There is no woman the Capturing God cannot conquer after all.
If the changes in the previous characters based on VN tropes (athlete, tsundere, silent type, martial artist) aren't impressive enough, changes in a normal girl is even more impressive as we can see those happen in real life. Well, you know, a girl who's not confident about herself can turn into a girl who can do anything she wants to.
Chihiro epitomizes the everyday experiences of any girl, or in fact any person, who tries to fit in and make their place in the real world. Because for anyone who is confident enough, it doesn't matter what place he/she will have in this world, for he/she can be anything after all.
Be it an athlete, a singer, a novelist, or an MMA fighter, it doesn't matter, because you can be anyone else asides these. All it requires is an open mind and a positive attitude in life.
Looking forward into the next arc, and I believe it's even more difficult for Keima to conquer the next target. But now Keima has been successful in conquering a "background character" girl, the most difficult one so far, so at least it could become a little bit easier.
As Keima says, "All the previous girls have character. Chihiro hasn't." But later he realizes that a "real girl" has the most amount of character among all the VN tropes. Bottom line is, the "background character" type is so bad (for avid gamers like Keima) it's good (for everybody else). Obviously, VN creators don't do that type because "gamers will burn them to the ground" if they do so.

A good closing chapter for Chihiro. Again, they followed the manga while adding some extra. BGM was great and adequately used. Animation and drawing top notch.
I felt they messed up a little the confrontation between Keima and Chihiro during the bench scene. In the manga, Chihiro seemed much more upset by Keima's lecture, finishing by a "Even if I'm serious, nothing happens! ".
In the anime, it felt like Chihiro was casualiy speaking, while in the manga, we could really feel she was honest for the first time.
This little detail aside, great episode. They didn't messed the promise scene at the end, Keima going Kami, and the last bit about him and the Real was a nice finishing touch (even if it lets the sentence unfinished... ).
Plus some Elsie glory (it's-a-me Elsie!).
Finally, we should get the report episode next time.

I wouldn't say messed up, more like a different approach to the scene, which in my opinion worked just as well.
I've finally caught up to this series, one of MANY that I have yet to do, and I agree with everyone who feels this season has been better thus far compared to S1 in terms of the storytelling. I forgot the name of the library girl in S1, but it was only that arc involving her drew my attention in a positive manner about this series. S2 has been very good all around consistently without missing a bit.
Yes, this was another very good episode.
It's been nipping at me, but does Elsie's flying sound sound a bit like Lum's from Urusei Yatsura?
I thought it dragged a little in the beginning, but finished very strongly. Feels like a lot of attention went into Chihiro's arc too; I don't think the final one can beat this (at least outside of the hotness factor :D).
Was that a Southpark reference?

I've grown to believe that the Chihiro arc had a nice finish, but I view her a particularly boring and regular person compared to some of the people we've encountered up this point.
As far as I'm concerned, Ayumi's appearance last episode was the most redeeming part of this arc.

Well, that's because Chihiro is meant to be a boring and regular person ^_^, which is why it was a challenge for Keima, because there's nothing special to her :)
^Yeah, which makes her capture the most un-galge-like so far.
I almost expected Chihiro to call the meatbuns manman nikuman....

Chihiro was far from being among my favorite characters. But this arc is really well done. Not the most fun, but I did love the drama and it her concerns were the easiest with which to identify, making the arc bear the strongest impact to me throughout the series so far.
In my opinion among all arcs, this one is at the top. Someone finally managed to stop the god of conquests in his tracks. The character development for Chihiro seems very well planned and done.

Wow, that may be the best episode of both seasons. Completely awesome
This arc was really well done though the first half was kinda of draggy but it did set the mood. Personally I got a better understanding of Chihiro than when I read her arc in the manga.
Also I didn't really care about Chihiro but the anime did changed my opinion of her character into a better one in this current arc.
What Keima said near the end that he will always be there to help her with that posture was a killer.
I have mixed feelings about this episode and the arc as a whole. I didn't like Chihiro at all. The more I saw of her, the less I liked her. But I really appreciated the way the animators told her story, especially in this episode. I guess you could say that I liked the way the story was told, but I didn't like what -- or rather who -- the story was about. Still haven't voted yet because none of the ratings seem appropriate.
Good episode, this arc is the best arc for me at least for now, I don't know why but I think last episode is better than this :eyebrow:. So a normal girl can beat a unique girl?:heh:.
Chihiro said that her appearance was average, but I think she has her own appeal. Anyway with that BGM song with Chihiro humming and Chihiro starting a band,I hope we'll get a/some song(s) from it :eyespin:.
At the beginning of the arc i was set on not liking Chihiro, but the way the arc turned out i have to change my mind. Liked the faces she made at the cat. My favorite part was when she made an offering to Keima and he scarfed down the bun.
Guess I'll throw a post.
I'm leaning toward the 'perfect score' side of the viewer.
I couldn't wait, so I took a little refreshment last week with the manga, as soon as I finished watching last week's episode.
And just now, it felt like I was totally watching something new. And when she started humming, I was convinced, that this episode would close the finest arc so far.
I had not once thought that this arc would be so melancholic that even a total 'ky' elsee couldn't make me laugh. I just smiled, gradually wider, as the end approached.
I'm speechless. Chihiro was least interesting girl for me while reading manga, but Manglobe completely managed to make her shine.
I take my hat off to Manglobe this week(more like this month)
same with me
at first, Chihiro arc isn't my favourite at all (well, it's like I just fast forward when reading the manga)
but in the anime.... oh damn..... It's awesome.... I must say that this is one of the best arc so far (all hail season 2.... everything looks perfect)
this is completely great.... Chihiro is shining.... lol
I'm speechless.... the last scene+BGM also really good...
There isn't that much more to say about this episode and this arc in it's entireity, but here goes. :heh:
I freakin' loved it. Period. :)
wow, never expected that the most normal girl would be the hardest to capture, Chihiro's arc is the best so far, but my favorite heroine would always be Shiori.
and finally, after two years of searching, I finally found my profile pic, thanks to ep06! now if I could only figure out how to upload it :D

See, this is why the background girls are never attainable in eroge's, cause they're actually one the most complex characters in the game, and it's out of any protagonist's ability to make them fall for him. (Well, aside from Keima, but that's cause he's the capture god.~) :p
The anime does have this unique charm to it apart from the manga, and it's very reasonably paced. Now if they'd only garuntee a continuation after this season's over. Hopefully it's popularity will be convincing enough. I shall continue to repeat this over and over but this series definitely deserves a multi-season run.~

@SilverSyko
I can agree. I'm very happy that the anime has quite a different feel to it. The source material, that is the manga, is great fun by being more oriented towards the comedy elements. But this anime continues to surprise me at how it tells the same story, change the feel by emphasizing more the drama that surrounds the targets of Keima's captures, and leave what is to me a deeper impact and impression. And I do love Manglobe's production values for this show. I'm loving this series more and more each episode, and do hope that it sustains its popularity enough to be able to produce more seasons even up to where we are now in the manga, which has some very interesting developments going on at this point.

Man, I said that on the first episode of the first season.
Yes, Elsie's flying sound is very much similar to Lum's, and most likely done on purpose.
As for this episode, well in the manga I thought her arc was really interesting because she herself was billed as being 'not interesting' so to speak, but the anime rendition kicked things up several notches and now this is by far my favorite arc.
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7334/chihiro.png
Of all the girls in the show she's the one you can actually relate to that doesn't reek of literal cliches / tropes / archetype the series actually runs itself on / mocks. I really doubt the 'arcs' after this will compare as well, they just did such a damn good job executing her arc.
And I did not find her cute at all in the manga but I wanted to hug the ever loving stuffing out of her this entire episode.
Also, there are far, far, far, far too many people on here who don't realize what a fantastic job they're doing adapting this from the manga, it goes without saying that both seasons (thus far) are fantastic showcase pieces for how to adapt a series from its manga roots and still have it stand on its own two feet.

Problem is: the best is yet to come, but the viewers/producers won't wait that long for things to really begin. With a pacing so dragged (for good or bad), the true awesomeness of kaminomi won't be shown before a hypothetical 3rd season, which is still far from announced.
As good as the adaptation currently is, anime needs money to be animated, and the longer they spend on a arc, the higher the numbers of episode go, and the lesser the money goes back.
It's a bad decision IMO, because we will certainly end up with a cliffhanger forever, or worse, an anime ending which will definitely seal any possibly to follow the manga's story.
Negima fans know well what destiny awaits for Kami... :uhoh:

How was this dragged out?
I didn't feel it was dragging on at all, in fact I've never felt that the entire time I've been watching, including all of season one.
Three episodes is generous, I mean they could theoretically knock out one girl per episode if they wanted to, but two is average at this point, isn't it?
There's no need to rush anything either, the quality has been top notch from day one.

The subdued melancholic presentation of the entire first half just blew me away. Combined with the most impressive music in the entire series so far and a second half speech from Keima that puts my heterosexuality under attack, this episode and arc is probably the best one of the entire series run so far.

I whole heartedly agree about the music. The music composition at times was mindblowing with this series. One of the reason why I highly enjoyed the library girl arc from the last season was the music. The Chihiro arc had equally placed music to enhance the mood and capture Chihiro's melancholy, especially in this episode as Chihiro makes her way to KamiNii-sama's location.
I have mixed feelings about this episode and the arc as a whole. I didn't like Chihiro at all. The more I saw of her, the less I liked her.

I agree that Chihiro wasn't very likable of a character compared to some of the other girls who have made their appearance already. Not only that, her story had to be a challenge for the script writers considering how little there was to work with. One of the manga readers has already commented in the thread that how uninteresting her story was when he/she read it. And yet I feel this arc is one of the two best arc of this series. Library girl arc is the other one. The pacing set the tone which was very deliberate and the amazing composition of music simply contributed to the pacing. After that the story took care of itself. The audience simply had to sit back and let things unfold on its own pace. I loved it.
It's been nipping at me, but does Elsie's flying sound sound a bit like Lum's from Urusei Yatsura?
I looked at it and it is indeed somewhat similar to Lum's. I also think Goku's cloud in Dragon Ball is a better comparison to Elsie's flying.

That's hardly a universal consensus. I considered her arc one of the best in the manga, and I'm very glad the same held true in the anime adaption. The episodes are very faithful to the manga, and the padding in this arc of the anime was mainly atmospheric stuff, aimed at emphasising the themes.

I think it's more of how the comical atmosphere of the manga didn't match the contents. The anime version was much better at bringing out the depression that Chihiro was in, thereby actually overcoming the problems of the manga version.
I re-watched this episode last night.
It really struck me that it was very artistically and effectively done!
I would even give it 9/10....

I think it's a matter of how much you read between the lines. I never thought that the manga failed to bring out her depression or anything. If anything, the anime was a bit too unsubtle for my tastes. If nothing else, it makes it much harder to sympathize with Keima's dilemma when the answer is being constantly blasted in your face.
The anime is definitely an excellent adaptation of this arc overall though. I just don't think it changed my mind about one of the original best arcs.:heh:

I think Clarste made a good point: you had to read between the lines a bit to appreciate it, since the characterisation for this arc in the manga was a bit more subtle.
I was laughing so hard when Keima ate the pork buns.
Chihiro really is my favorite girl and her arc in anime was executed perfectly.
She actually fits the depressed girl or a parameter with inferiority complex. A perfect example of a "real" girl. What's amazing is how Keima was affected after her, thinking how he is also struggling against reality.

Great episode with a great ending :D
Keima actually realised that he failed with concentrating on the guy and not caring about how Chihiro feels. Despite never wanting to get close to her before, he jumps over his own shadow, builds her up again from her depression and then even kisses her :D
Despite his constant complaints about real life girls, he gets better with them with every girl. I'd also say that he improved much more by conquering Chihiro than with every other girl before.
I'm curious how he'll behave around Chihiro now...

Since the girls forget about what happened, I would imagine he'd just pretend nothing had changed. The interesting thing is the promise he made to Chihiro at the end to be there for her if she needed help. Keeping that could complicate things for him.

No, I think it's different here. The point is, he doesn't have any contact with the girls he "conquered" anymore (the only exception being the short encounter with Ayumi).
However, he does have somewhat regular contact with Chihiro. This will make the next time he meets Chihiro so much more interesting :D

Since Chihiro dragged Elsie into her newly planned band, I guess Elsie will be the one who will add to the interesting flavor instead of Keima. You do have a point though, just don't underestimate Keima's logical coldness, or more like game life addiction.

I think Keima's coldness is crumbling, or he wouldn't have been able to kiss Chihiro that quickly.
Doesn't that imply that he's more cold than he used to be? He hesitates less to go for the kiss. It's not like he was falling in love with her over the course of the arc: he hadn't even paid any attention to her "parameters" until like 15 minutes before the kiss.

lolwut? I hope you don't seriously mean that by kissing her faster, he got colder? :twitch:
I never said that he was falling in love with her or anything.
It's just that when he noticed that Chihiro *does* have parameters", that triggered somethin in him, which made part of coldness melt away and come up with a plan to kiss her himself.
If his coldness hadn't melted away a bit, he would've simply waited until she falls for the next guy, and tried again to get her to kiss him.
lolwut? I hope you don't seriously mean that by kissing her faster, he got colder? :twitch:
That is exactly what I mean, because now he's kissing her without emotion, like a robot or an actor. We were talking about his "logical coldness", remember? He kissed her because it was the best way to get the spirit out. Not because he cared about who she was. No hesitation, no regrets. Coldness doesn't just mean ignoring people, it also means not seeing them as important. Honestly, wanting to avoid her was more emotional than his kiss, and more "connected to the Real".

Nonsense, he didn't kiss her without emotion at all! :rolleyes:
He even kisses Chihiro with much more emotion than any of the girls before her!
When he realised that his "brilliant" plan had failed, he recognised that it was because he completely ignored her feelings. He got a deeper understanding of her, and started to feel with her and sympathise with her. It was only out of this feeling for her that he then kissed her. Again, there was much more feeling in this kiss than in any other of his kisses before!
Well, it seems like we all have a different interpretation of Keima's emotions.
I think Keima's coldness is crumbling, or he wouldn't have been able to kiss Chihiro that quickly.
Keima's emotional coldness particularly seemed to crumble a bit in this arc, but if we consider the logical coldness then you see that in the latest episode he is the same as ever. I also doubt that he will treat Chihiro differently from the others when he encounters her. As in, he might show some kind of "interest" like with questioning Elsie about Ayumi's memory, or any other girl for that matter who all now shine brighter than before thanks to him, but although it may develop Keima's character, it won't change anything about his way of life or goals (which one of them is to end this whole 'game').
I'm speechless........is the most BEAUTIFUL ARC I EVER SEEN!!! Is very touching especially the ending. I LOVE Chihiro's arc because of her differences from everybody else. How the previous girls status are based in visual novel such as a athlete, a rich tsudere girl, a idol, a quite girl and a martial arts fighter, BUT Chihiro is a plain normal girl which her status isn't in categories of visual novel at all, and that what make Keima struggle to conquer her. And I love how Keima attitude toward her is A LOT diffident from other conquered girl.
Now I can see the true power of anime, that make Chihiro became ever more brighter!!! All thank to Manglobe!!! (Even though in the first season, Chihiro still had her manga looks) When I first see season 2 I was like "Err....Who's that?!!!!" then I began to fine out that THAT WAS CHIHIRO and I had this "EHHH?!!!" "HUHH?!!!!" impression XD. Manglobe had manage to change Chihiro appearance from an "background charater" (Season 1 and manga) too a "shining charater" (Season 2). Her drawing is very pretty!!! (Especially her eyes) I LOVE IT!!!! DAISUKI DA~~!!!
(Hmmmm......It seems I been getting of topic)
This episode had show an great improvement from the manga to the anime. The anime had more depth into the the story by showing more comprehensive act of the characters through showing clearer reaction, figure of speech, tone use and inner feeling of characters. Also the anime had not only show the main characters point a view BUT also showed other characters point a view too. (Direct Example: You can see both Keima's and Chihiro's point of view in the anime while in the manga you can see only Keima's view.)
I'm not saying this part of the manga is bad, but I'm just pointing out the diffident between the two that all....(Even I still love reading TWOGK's manga sometimes they are funnier than the anime XD)
Anyway, YES Chihiro is one of my BEST favourite girl charater in TWOGK and I support Chihiro X Keima XD
It comes to conclusion that this episode is........(One words)..............EPICNESS!!!!! 10/10 (Never get bored watching it over and over again....XD)
