KAMEHAMEHA !

XD

I just have to that.

Anyway,that sunset rooftop scene between Komari and Rin in the end ..........Dammit J.C staff...I thought it came to THAT time already,it sure give me a fright there...I'm sure all VN players would feel the same

And Mio sure make the comedy for this ep ~

[trinitem]

Mio's idea got me the most laughs out of randomness. Can't say I understood everything said, but her VA switching things up was funny. Why she was keeping those dolls is beyond me though. Was under the assumption that Mio only cared for books.

- An apple slice and a jelly for 2 slices of meat? No deal!
- Rin put in effort, but Komari really saved Rin on the dolls. Impressive how much stuffing can come out in one poke of a needle.

How would a baseball hitting a stuffed animal cause that much damage?

Why did Komari go up in the evening to wish on the star when the show was in the afternoon?

That preview. Can't wait~!

Same thing happened to me lol, I was surprised at first, but when they showed the rest I felt kind of stupid. I think J.C Stuff did that to make the VN players start panicking a bit; well played you bastards, well played.

Overall really great episode, while a lot of it wasn't how the VN went (Like making the puppet show one of the tasks) I felt they made it fit in cleanly with the rest of the story and adapted it quite well. If J.C staff staff animated the puppet show like it was in the VN, a few people might have felt like it was filler.

@Tempester
Sorry if my original comment gave off the "winking and nudging" feel to it, that wasn't my intention at all. Personally I thought my comment only suggested that I was panicking that they were rushing the adaptation, rather than being spoiler bait.

[Tempester]

I really wish you people would keep the winking and nudging in their appropriate threads instead of here.

[Entravity]

Masato and Mio win. Too good.

This episode is strangely enjoyable. Interested to see what else it can bring.

[EroKing]

Mio steals the show every time she is given screen-time, HOLY SHIT at the range of voices her voice actress can do 9/10 for that alone

[Zankoku12]

It's little disturbing how Dorj's size changed each time he appeared...

The puppet show was well adapted and even better with Mio's little show.
Komari and Rin's yuri friendship was nicely conveyed given that Rin's development was mostly overshadowed by all those previous heroines's arc.

I have alot of feeling for this ep so this officially become my most fav episode so far even though I feel like they gave away more hints/foreshadowing than they should have and the music placement is still suck as usual.

I have a feeling the next episode will beat this one though.

[Benigmatica]

I guess this episode is not the beginning of Rin's arc. They'll have to save it for the second season if J.C.Staff can do it!

BTW, Kyousuke and Mio's story is so random and funny too!

[Leo_Otaku]

I thought this episode was really well done. It suited better than it did in VN form.
Can't wait for the next episode

[AC-Phoenix]

Its pretty interesting where the task part goes.
A hunch tells me that either Kyouske or Komari can somehow see between realities and writes those task to the two of them.
I support this theory by Kyouske's words to Kud regarding 'having remembered everything'...
Notably in a tone that sounded like he knew exactly what she remembered.

Riki too hinted that someone knew things in advance here and that he had a deja-vu with the Komari's book.
It kinda looks like the story goes Clannad/Higurashi/Umineko where the characters get at least a feeling of what has happened in the previous worlds and instinctively change their fates in the new one .

With the difference that what has happened in the other realities is not being shown until the end.

[Master_Yoma]

I went to know more of that dumbbell story

[ronelm2000]

Hints and Red Herrings....everywhere! XD

I definitely like how this turned out. Rin being more and more approachable and all....

...and some of those flash images (more like flash-scenes) from earlier eps coming in as full scene. :O

10 / 10. Anime > VN, finally.

Traitor! I trusted youuuuuuuuu!

That said...I'll admit that the cutlet scene and the puppet show were done well and entertaining.
I am not a blind ball of hate as some may think of me...

[taichi-kun]

I have noticed that kurugaya isn't always with them during lunch

is that JC's fault(laziness) or she is absent because she has her own reasons?

Maybe she is in another club like Haruka

.......

Well this episode was ok.. feels like filler but I know It's part of the VN ( probably a rushed adaptation since we didn't see all the puppet stories (riki don't interrupt kurugaya )

The story of the book was interesting.. but the LB members(komari,mio,kud,haruka) that riki helped didn't disappear, they are still there... (ok they are absent sometimes,but still there.)

I liked the:

Spoiler for VN only:

*turns out that she can do every role* Cease fire!

But I also liked this one.

[Triple_R]

Awesome comedy in this episode. Masato and Mio's stories really had me cracking up!

And Komari/Rin make such a lovely couple... if only...

[kitten320]

Lol Mio

Looks like Kanata is still her strict self when on duty.

So... are Kyousuke/Komari fulfilers of dwarfs wishes aka Rin and everyone else?

Rin/Riki would make more sense but this episode felt like if Kyouseke and Komari know more than others.

[Haiprbim]

It was a great episode.
I especially liked the drama parts of the "8 vanishing".

Oh wow, Mio. You're really a killer with your humor.

And whoa, that part with Komari nowhere to be found legitimately scared me. D:
