As a marginal note talking about miu/airi timing, what comes up to my mind is True Tears. Hiromi too was early in his timing ... Last thing, cause I'm seeing to many spoilers, I have to stay away, it's about Akane-iro Spoiler for Akane-iro:
EDIT: Ok, I couldn't resist and I opened the last previous spoiler tag. Luckily was a very nice view |

Everyone is far to praising, I feel driven to be critical just to even out the mood.
Spoiler for Bored, and because I love to be that guy:
After this is over I need to find another adaptation to watch as all this talk has gotten me in the mood for more drama, recommendations? |

Watched episode 9 again now that I'm settled, and a few additional thoughts... well, more like a second round of commentary.
Spoiler for Episode 9:
And incidentally, regarding Ange, I think there are a few main reasons they did it: 1. To help develop the theme of Shingo's kindness/consideration (started with Airi, developed further with Ange, and then refined/re-explored with Sana and Miu.) 2. Because it brought Ange closer to Shingo and Sakuno, and made her even more part of the "gang" (so it was natural for her to join the club) 3. It was also a chance to show a bit more Sakuno as well, since part of the plot took place at Shingo's home 4. It might also be a way of bringing the cast back together in a way at the end (since she still may wish to be Shingo's master for Shingo to be her master ( ) even if he ends up with someone else). So I think one could argue that they could have excised it, but I don't think it hurt the overall story in a significant way. I guess the only thing that might have made it stick out a bit more than it might have otherwise was that they split it over two half-episodes with a minor cliffhanger, rather than giving her a sort of standalone ("filler"?) episode. So it seemed like she could have had an even larger role, but they ended up taking the exit rather quickly. If it was contained to an episode, you'd know it'd be over when the episode was done, and next time it'd be "back to our regular story". Edit: Spoiler for Episode 9:

Spoiler for Episode 9:
Edit: Oh yeah! Totally unrelated, but did everyone catch the clever marketing move? At the point where Sana asks Shingo if he wants a copy of her picture, the text on screen says (basically) "Those of you who want a copy of Sana's photo can go get it on our website." And here it is. It's formatted for smartphones. Nice tie-in!

As you guys have pointed out, there was so much Sana and Miu that I almost forgot Ange is even there. And uh Spoiler:
I would think the route format is sealed if this were episode 10, but it's not. However, as you guys have analyzed, even though there *are* slots/openings to input to drive to another route, it would appear too shotgun. Or, or! ... Sana ending. (Nevermind I said that). But as you guys have also pointed out, it's possible to not even have an ending (unlikely). If it goes one route full throttle I'd be fine with that. Spoiler:
EDIT: Shotgun questions. Spoiler:
Oh that marketing. More amusing since the smartphone background was pointed out before I watched it. Last edited by amoirsp; 2011-11-30 at 02:45. Reason: Additional Inquiry. |
