Spoiler for Episode 06 Thoughts/Recap.:

Creepy siblings are creepy.

Elvin · 2010-05-07, 21:25

Spoiler for Ep06:

MeoTwister5 · 2010-05-07, 21:57

Oh yeah the Kanade x Otonashi ship just set sail! Let the crazy fanart begin!

The episode does a lot to begin the probable friendship between Otonashi and Kanade. She does seem like a very laid-back sort of girl which belies what Otonashi believes is her plight in this world, that given her personality it might be understandable why she doesn't seem to have any friends. Ayato's ability sort of proves that to some degree, the humans of this world have the capacity to somehow alter the system to grant to themselves abilities that no regular human would have access to, in a Matrix style "I know kung-fu" sort of way.

Making the connection between Ayato's acknowledgment issues and his abusive behavior seems a bit of a stretch to me, but then this is Key, so it's a bit expected. I guess my only complaint is that the bloodbath loses some of it's impact and severity again because no one really dies. I mean sure they likely feel a lot of pain and such, but the mortal reality and gravity of the fact doesn't really exist in this situation.

The biggest part for me is Ayato's suggestion before his backstory, regarding being their own gods. I'll probably expound on that in the spoilers thread.

For some reason, near the beginning of Naoi's story, at the part about 'my brother died and they told me I died and I became my brother', I was just so completely reminded of Tsukihime. I even went 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!?" when I saw him in the hospital bed.

Don't mind me, just some random thoughts.

Spoiler for otonashi:

tsunade666 · 2010-05-07, 22:21

ah great episode.

I would probably give it 10 if not for all the boy's love in the air. Despite what other say. Many girls would probably just love those scene.

Tenchi is cute when sleeping.

Flames · 2010-05-07, 22:32

Naoi is another Shinji Ikari to me. The problems they have is very similar and the say the same things about there life. Not to mention they both are voiced by the same person. Comapred there lines and you will realized it don't seem much different form each other.

Spoiler for Naoi:

FlareKnight · 2010-05-07, 22:43

A pretty big episode. I mean damn Naoi had a pretty solid plan laid out. He could use the normal students as human shields since the SSS wouldn't fight back against them. Hypnotize the SSS to think they had resolved their issues and they would vanish. That would really just leave Tenshi as the only danger. But he could just keep her locked up since he thought that would work, or he could just ignore her. Really Tenshi only took action when she was the president and without that position she probably wouldn't interfere with Naoi.

I have to give Yuri credit since giving that communicator to Otonashi saved the day. It seemed kind of random, but maybe she somewhat predicted this situation. She could see Otonashi had some sympathy toward Tenshi and might get closer to her. Also it was probable that Tenshi would be seen as a threat and be held prisoner. At the right timing she got into contact with Otonashi and he got Tenshi to take action which got them out. Obviously its questionable how much of this situation Yuri predicted. I do have to give her credit for that small action though.

Wow that was close though. A real massacre that could have been the end of the SSS. Though I do wonder just what they are going to do now.

feRfe · 2010-05-07, 22:51

sad girl is sad
i thought yuri was gonna get assaulted

serenade_beta · 2010-05-07, 22:59

Very entertaining episode.
...As in, it felt so cheap, I couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, the Look-at-me-and-my-sad-story at the end was repetitive and enough to leave me

Besides, I already saw this plot before. Staff wanted a sad story and just picked it off one of them? Must mean the end of the anime will solve everything with a Spirit Convention...
Talk about boring antagonist. A amnesiac manages to calm the guy's life-long fury down and make him all mellow with one lecture on life. Great. That scene is... supposed to be sad, right? The one where Otonashi is screaming his heart out? Joke?

People all wounded? They ain't dying anyways.

The sheer mention of hypnosis is enough to make me laugh, but when a guy going Kira uses his eyes, that glow for some reason, to do some poor job of hypnosis (you really think she's gonna be satisfied with that delusion? Really?), it's priceless. I thought the next season of Geass hasn't started yet...

Tenshi's weapon can transform. Heh~ New setting.

Previous episodes = Yui kawaii!
This = Eh...

Yurippe:
Tenshi is the enemy --> Let's kill her when she comes to the live --> Take this trap, for coming to the underground base --> Invasion of Tenshi's privacy --> Bully Tenshi and ruin her position at school --> Oh crap... --> Save me, Tenshi!
(-_-)

Anyways, the previous episode was great. This one was terrible.
But I'm not disappointed at all. It just went back to the way it was.

Oh, but TK was as awesome as ever. "I'll be back"

What do you mean "begin"?

Anyway, I liked the ep, up until the last couple minutes. Yui-nyan is hilarious as always, goofing off in class (I'll take a chip...and EAT IT!)... and especially the Otonashi-Kanade interactions. And I'm really hoping that we'll see HS V2-4 used for something other than opening doors.

Khu · 2010-05-07, 23:28

holy fuck that was epic.

As always, awesome character development from Key. Even in just a 13 episode series, to get this much out of it...I really hope there's a season 2.

Also,

Spoiler:

And I want the OST.

NOW. T_T

Dammit, June is when the DVD's come out.

I will get them.

(hopes they can be played in PAL and have Eng subtitles :> )

You know they're just going to get up after 5 minutes again?

The characters dying horrible deaths was supposed to be funny a few episodes ago and now suddenly it's supposed to be oh-so-shocking? What are they thinking

touge-n00b · 2010-05-07, 23:36

An excellent episode slightly dampened by an awkward ending.

Spoiler for Ending:

LOL @ Takamatsu this week yet again!

Ordinary students attacking others with firearms is pretty bad, no?

Traece :cool: Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Idaho Age: 32	Spoiler for Episode 06 Thoughts/Recap.: Personally I rather liked this episode and like everyone else, mostly for the fact that it was Otonashi and Kanade heavy. The episode managed to retain humor in the parts where it was trying to be funny, and the more dramatic parts were definitely enjoyable I felt. Especially in the first quarter there were a lot of nice things that I laughed at like the assorted wrongdoings of Otonashi and the other members of the Barnacle Brigade, and their escape from Naoi (especially Yui's, because it's great to see Naoi's reaction to it). On top of that, there was some nice humor associated with Otonashi's basically asking Kanade out to lunch. I found that scene to be rather adorable, and especially the scenes following it although I do wish they had been played out with a little more romance in mind. But then, of course I would prefer that. Otonashi's eventual understanding of Kanade's situation in this world was a sad realization, and it definitely made me feel sad about what she has endured. Everything was made up for in the end with epic hand-holding. Lastly, I really liked the ending encounter, except for the fact that Otonashi's badass moment of him clocking Naoi in the face was epicly ruined by what eventually would become a Yaoi-lover's heaven (I blame Hinata personally). His back story was interesting to some degree, and really fit his personality (although that particular sort of story has been used many times so it could have been better). All things having been said about the episode, I got the impression that we haven't quite heard the last of Naoi. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he continued to play as an antagonist. In my personal opinion, however, it would have been better to have left Kanade as the antagonist and having her slowly be swayed by Otonashi. Creepy siblings are creepy. __________________ Last edited by Traece; 2010-05-07 at 21:24. Reason: Scawy!

DrCnCh Incomprehensibly Named Join Date: Sep 2009 Age: 35	Spoiler for Ep06: I quite enjoyed this episode. Massacre scene was well done (in fact it gave me a feeling of dread just looking at it), and Naoi's story made me a little sad, offset by his complete an utter repulsiveness from earlier in the episode. Highlight for me would have to be the scene where Tenshi falls asleep: it was just so damn cute. I also have my suspicions about Otonashi and Tenshi being similar based on her sudden realization that the Mapo Tofu is her favorite food.
