This episode was amazing.
The whole first half was one of, if not the, highest point of the series, both visually and emotionally. This time the insert song didn't feel cheesy at all, it complimented the scene nicely. And the storyboard and lightning work done in here is just astounding, as expected from Takemoto.
The second half had the drama come in, and I thought it was handled rather well. Not showing the fight between Yuuta and Rikka was the right choice, it would have generated too many mood swings in the episode and lost the 'laid-back' tone it had.
And the animation was a step up from the last two episodes, there were many great cuts. Mariko Takahashi and Takemoto both did genga for the episode.
All in all, 9/10. Up there with episodes 2 and 5.
