I personally thought the episode was pretty great, but I can't believe they did away with Iwasawa so soon after that incredible live concert that she was doing too.

I guess next episode they will explain what it was that she accepted and why she disappeared, because Otonashi notes that its apparent that living a normal school life isn't the only way for one to go.

The real question is... who's taking over Girl Dead Monster or are we looking at a possible resurrection here, since Girl Dead Monster has far more than just two singles scheduled. Iwasawa was the heart of that... I can't imagine anyone taking over.
