How the hell do I actually type that? The Irony point thing?

So here it comes. The unavoidable end...

Dammit I didin't want to believe it, until the last second I had the smallest shred of hope that things would somehow turn out for the better.

Well, I guess the only thing left is ask for an OVA with the good end.

I'm wondering about that as well. Maybe there's a convenient ascii code?

*coughs*

Kind of wondering how they're going to pull the transition from the 'default' ending to the 'true ending' though without causing a lot of headscratching from the non-game players...

Tyabann · 2009-01-23, 00:45

To be fair, it was confusing in the original game too.

Mecha_Trueno · 2009-01-23, 01:43

EDIT: oops, forgot spoiler tags

Spoiler for ep15:

Tyabann · 2009-01-23, 01:51

The twins showed up in the game at that point too, I believe.

Manji Midou · 2009-01-23, 02:22

hmm...are we going to get a new ed song?
the upcoming eps and the current song atmosphere wouldn't seem to match...

NOT as a Fuuko stand-in this time around, methinks.

People, people, rmemeber to control yourselves and avoid future event spoilers.

@Mecha_Trueno et al

Just having a pair of lines in the preview is not enough guarantee to appearing in the next episode. Rather, take what they said in context. That's what I did at least.

cbatty · 2009-01-23, 07:13

I liked the theme that was highlighted this week about family sticking together and working through adversity relying on each other for support. This is a theme that gets discounted so much in society today - i.e. self reliance is good. I am not advocating dependence though, rather interdependence. This is something that this episode shows well - from Tomoya and Nagisa, to Akio and Sanae, and even the mid wife to a lesser extent. Akio's reassurance to Tomoya, that he wasn't alone in this, that he was family was particularly moving.

However I think the episodes will be hard to watch from now on...

Understatement.

Kristen · 2009-01-23, 09:50

So, we patiently wait for next week's episode.

This episode was a very good portrayal of the events leading up to childbirth. I liked Nagisa's continual stubborn attitude. I leaped for joy that they showed Akio's place. I smiled when they named the child "Ushio". And I cried when they showed the preview.

Kinny Riddle · 2009-01-23, 10:04

Ushio - The name of Tomoya and Nagisa's child, which has often been used as a signal for invoking the "instant infraction" on careless users by trigger happy mods at every single mention of it, can now finally be uttered freely.

(But beware, the baby's gender is still considered spoiler bait by these mods for now. Though Kyo-Ani has left plenty of hints as to what Ushio's gender will be in the OP and ED of both series. )

While it is not completely clear, even in the game, Akio's "special place", where he prayed to the powers that be to "save Nagisa" may have something to do with the "Illusionary World" and the light orbs, considering there's some mystical quality in that place. And right now, that mystical place is now being sullied by the construction of a new hospital, which might significantly affect Nagisa in a supernatural way.

Thinking about it, that "place" may also be the "portal" to the "alternate dimension" that Kotomi's scientist parents discovered, but died before they could reveal it.

Hearing Kotomi and Ryou's voice in the preview may hint that they may be returning to visit Nagisa in her bed.

(PS LOL at "Akki" freaking out at the prospect at being called "gramps".

PPS More LOL at the screen switching to the title screen as Yoshino goes into his usual philosophical mood when commenting on Tomoya becoming a father. )

MeoTwister5 · 2009-01-23, 10:23

So after today, we can use "Ushio" without the ban hammer hitting our nether regions?

I still haven't seen it subbed dammit. My internet is being retarded.

TooPurePureBoy · 2009-01-23, 12:06

Ya, I just shed tears three times in one episode. Only Kyoani does this to me. Damn them.

So ya, I've never played the game and I haven't read any spoilers but it seems pretty obvious what could happen if Kyoani decides to go the depressing route.

Spoiler for speculation:

Manji Midou · 2009-01-23, 12:42

Next ep is going to hit me harder then the entire series of Air, l have invested so much time into this characters...that it will certainly hurt....and if they put in a solid insert song...

I have to confess, this being a lead-in episode I tried to find a reason to restrict it to a 9.....and I can't. 10/10.

Mmm... this episode dug up some really good memories of when i first played the game.

GAAAAHHH!!! is all that i can say (and what i first said when playing through the first time) for next episode...

Age: 40	EDIT: oops, forgot spoiler tags Spoiler for ep15: After watching the preview, I'm surprised no one here has posted hate/fustration comments that Kotomi and Ryou (and probably Kyou as well) will be coming back next week "just for the sake of it"...... or will their appearance actually have some purpose? Who knows....... guess we'll have to wait till next week __________________ 禁則事項です

TooPurePureBoy Socially Inept Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Retracing my steps.....	Ya, I just shed tears three times in one episode. Only Kyoani does this to me. Damn them. So ya, I've never played the game and I haven't read any spoilers but it seems pretty obvious what could happen if Kyoani decides to go the depressing route. Spoiler for speculation: I'll be curious to see if Tomoya turns into his father if Nagisa does end up dying. It would be ironic if Tomoya figures out that his dad acted that way because of something that happened between him and his mother. I've always wondered why his dad seems so lifeless, but imagining what Tomoya would be like without Nagisa (even with a child, some people (usually fathers) tend to never love their child as much as they love their spouse) though I do tend to think Tomoya is made of stronger stuff than his father, losing a person like Nagisa would be devastating. __________________ "Do what I do in every friendship and relationship, give 5%" - Ron Bennington
