Anyone else think that the most significant line was Angel's, "It's almost like I'm the bad guy"? I don't think we can understand the meaning of that line until the very end as it just raises more questions about the nature of whatever world they're in. It's clear from that line that Yuri's version is wrong, not that anyone ever thought she was completely right.
And it's obvious: Iwasawa became more powerful than the teachers could ever imagine after they struck her down. |

Maybe she has a problem of a badly understood position of responsibility. It sounds quite a lot like "I'm doing all of this for everyone's sake, yet they despise me". |

Some pretty original and not-inspired music you used this ep, Maeda

go figure KEY can use music from a KEY game in a KEY produced work.
of course the simple explanation is that Tenshi is there to help people move on by accepting what happened to them. but that's fairly obvious and would be a bit easy for a Key story..

If only Iwasawa had said that before she vanished. Could have done Obi Wan proud right there .

Anyone else think that the couple shown on the track field could be Nagisa and Okazaki?
haha... My guess on where this series is going is that Otanashi is going to realize that he is getting used to shooting/seeing his friends get chopped down(loosing humanity), and try to convince Tenshi and Yuri to be peaceful. and that everyone is in a coma or something. I mean... Looking at all previous Key works, they all have something to do with dreams/alternate worlds. |

I don't recall anyone noticing this, but in addition to the scenes added to the OP showcasing the episode, at around 1:05 to 1:07 it shows a few scenes from the episode in regards to Otonashi. I don't know if it has any special meaning to it, just something I noticed.

I'm definitely going with either the Purgatory or Heaven theory. Purgatory isn't that exciting or that much of a twist so I'm guessing that this might be some form of heaven. Of the two stories both of them got what they wanted. Yurippe wanted to fight fate and God for siblings' deaths and Ishikawa wanted to sing. Tenshi definitely looks like she's stuck there with them which is a bit of a surprise as I thought she was going to be some angel(mostly due to the wings in the OP). I would like them to get out of the episodic ditch and go for a more serialized plot especially with 13 episodes but so far it's been enjoyable.
Also am I the only one who has problems with the facial animation looking weird and off at certain times? |

so we finally heard Tenshi speak!
I wasn't all that impressed with the first two episodes, but episode 3 has drawn me right back in with its emotional punch. But... but Iwasawa got taken out the moment her back story's introduced! How sad... but we also see that there's another way out of this world, except... there's still this question of whether God exists or not. uh, all so convoluted.

And this is the reason why being kept in the dark isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at the amount of speculation going on, and thus discussion. And people were rushing to the novels to get some answers back in episode 1; little bit premature to jump the gun, as it shows the writers know exactly what they're doing, revealing little by little each episode.
This time around, they revealed the different ways of 'disappearing', and the fact that Tenshi is merely just like them, rather than a celestial being sent to enforce a higher power's will on that world. Which pretty much entrenches my position on being on Tenshi's side, because with all else equal, I'd pick the 'law' side. Really, Tenshi hasn't been doing anything wrong per se, she's just upholding the rules just like a real seitokaichou would. Just wondering how long Tenshi has been 'aware' though. If in fact she needs to resort to the same methods as the rest of the cast to implement her powers, that means anyone can do it as long as they're skilled enough. Makes me wonder exactly how long she has been honing her skills, as its clear that not one of the rebels even shows a fraction of her powers.

This is one of the few stories that I am actually rooting for both sides.
I do empathize Yuri's tragedy and see why she wants a form of blame which is God. But in actual fact Yuri has been trying to find her own way of finding this 'answer' just like Iwasawa was. Yuri wants an answer for what happened to her siblings whether it's action or words. But since I'm speculating that there is no God she can't move on therefore she finds the closest thing to God. Tenshi. Like DragoonKain3 said. We really need to see Tenshi interacting more with the story, which hopefully will come about. But this is one of the interesting plots I've come across this season. |

Through living in the "Afterlife" she was able to see the affects of her music on those around her. In the final scene we see that her ballad that Yuri originally rejects was able to quell the anger between the students and the adults trying to stop them. I believe that at this point she was finally able to come to the realization that she was born into such a bad situation in order to save those around her in the way she was saved. Without her experience of an unhappy home and the unfairness of life she wouldn't be able to write the songs that affected those around her so much. Finally, with that she was able to come to terms with her life and "move on". That's what I got out of it anyway and I apologize if this has already been covered.
