I was ready to give this ep a 10 after five minutes. The voice of Horie Yui as present-day Ayu and her animation around the three-minute mark -- coming down stairs, on the balcony looking at the stars -- were so effing alive. Just sharper than anything I've seen this year. I think it may have something to do with timing, both in voice and especially in the animation. Maybe a beat ahead. Vivid and urgent. I just watched the last episode of Otoboku, and you would be hard-pressed to identify Mizuho as the same voice, for sure.

And sleepy Nayuki was really something. To say nothing of Seki Tomokazu and his outfit, or the dance scene, which is an instant classic, or the monster and the battle, or the ending on Yuuichi's anger with the student council pres.

And I don't think we have to use spoilers in this thread at all, if we're talking about something from this episode. People who haven't seen the episode can choose not to look at the thread.
