[Kanon]

Spoiler for 9:

Otonashi's flashback lasted a bit too long for my taste, but it was interesting. Otonashi is the Jack Sheppard of this show. He really has no luck... the rescue team arrives right after he kicks the bucket. At least, he had time to ask for his organs to be donated, and he was happy to think it might have helped somebody.

The Otonashi x Kanade scene near the end of the episode was nice. So nice. She gently stroked his hair, his cheek and then his pe-- no, not that one. But I really though a kiss was going to happen for a moment. And she really calls him Yuzuru now.

From what I understand, Otonashi realized Kanade was trying to help everyone move on to the next life all along, and he agrees to help her with that job, as he isn't bitter anymore after remembering the rest of his life. He enjoys being the SSS but he feels leaving this place and starting a new life wouldn't be so bad either. Him and Kanade are now secretly plotting the others' "disappearance/salvation", and for that purpose, Kanade is reinstated as student council president. Looks like she's going to resume her old "activities", with Otonashi helping her from the inside.

The preview: Yui is the first to go? Why is it always the singers? Anyhow, I'm looking forward to learning more about her life.
