Wow.

Spoiler for the obvious:

So she's really dead!?

I didn't get that impression based on the way the music sounded during those scenes. It just didn't sound sad enough for someone who's dying IMO. It was really misleading. That music combined with the overall light-hearted tone of the series and the fact that she was slipping in and out of consciousness while going through labor had me convinced that she ended up simply falling unconscious again (or slipped into a temporary coma at the worst) The standard ED also didn't help matters much.

Apparently I was wrong. I'm just grateful that I couldn't bring myself to get nearly as attached to the whole TomoyaxNagisa pair as some of the rest of you. Otherwise, I think my entire week would've just been ruined.

I know it may sound cruel, but I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store now that Nagisa's gone. I was pretty convinced this anime was going to go the way of "Itazura na Kiss" by having Nagisa pull through and having the last one or two episodes be extremely happy and light-hearted.

btw, if you're looking for a feel-good romance comedy anime to watch to get your mind off this, I highly recommend the anime I mentioned above. It made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. It's perhaps the one and only example of an anime that can brighten my day up by merely thinking about it (which is really rare and incredibly weird for me).
