The new OP sounds great, though I still do love Dearest quite a bit more.
I do like the new ED better though. I wonder if the staff has switched from the trend of using the ED to convey the overal result of the episode to showing what is to come; if so then Shu's friends disappearing one by one isn't quite a good sign, though the ED ends with Inori getting Shu back on his feet, and then Shu taking the lead.
Though I'm inclined to think all that is over-thinking it; it's probably just generic ED ainmation and not a change-by-episode thing like the first ED. I guess we'll see next episode.
Ayase flag RAISED!
A chance encounter between Tsugumi and Daryl?!
Normal anime tradition would dictate this to be the beginning of some form of relationship between the two, especially given Daryl's noticeable fixation on her in his last scene in the episode. (whether it be friendship, rivalry, or romance)
Well, it looks like those two punks who tried to molest (yes, molest >.>) Ayase this episode come back next episode with (more than >.>) a few more friends in the next episode preview.
