HAHAHAHHAHA!!! This episode is fun and very relaxing for me for some reason (despite the melancholy mood with Celty). This is mostly a build up episode and leading up to an ending that most people expected, but ... the only thing I have to say is ...

NICE BOAT!!

PS: Anri you're so mean =(!

You really leave the mind to wonder with that one.

[Iron Maw]

Nice Brain Base.

[Shiroth]

Actually, i wouldn't be surprised if the two were doing it as a reference.

[Iron Maw]

Oh I'm sure it's intentional, it's just amusing since they really do feel like this series Isaac and Miria.

Yeah that i can easily agree with. Both Erika and Walker feel as if they stand out of the current events that are always taking place, just like Isaac and Miria.

[Kanon]

Mikado: "Hey look I spent hours seaching for your shoes at school and I took the trouble of bringing them to your house (don't ask me how I know where you live)" *smile full of expectation*
Anri:"..."
...
Anri:"Thanks."
*closes door*

OUCH

Very sweet episode, Selty continues to be adorable. For some reason, I find her walking around with her head in hand more disturbing than her having no head at all . I guess it's because I'm not used it.

Edit:

[konart]

Can anyone tell what was written on their fortune telling papers?

[Natsuki Hyuga]

Celty, oh Celty, why are you so... <33333333 /dies of major cuteness in the episode.

Spoiler for Raw Ep 8:

Handmade cooking, carrying cooking ingredient while riding motorbike, etc... And that was done after and with a bit of angst. WHAT IS THIS WHY CAN IT BE SO CUTE (ry

Confirmed, that's Celty's head that Harima "wears". Also, it's okay to lol for the "confession of cheezy labu" of Seijix(Celty-)Mika in the end, right...? Cause that's what I did. ;-;

Spoiler for Mentioning Character from novel spoiler:

CAN WE EXPECT THE TWINS PLEASE? *shot* Nah, maybe just an extra, but still, Kasuka is introduced already so here's hoping we get to see what the series want

I can't help to think that the episode is really refreshing, what's with it highlighting relationship(s) between the characters, or more like characters that has 'conception' of love. It really fits for some reason despite the mood. Although Mikado sure have tough luck on his pocket Oh dear, I snickered with that lines of events: after being shown what Mikado seeks (relation/つながり), it cuts to Anri's hollow thanks to him. Oh Mikado, you poor guy!

Also, more Celty's handmade cooking please! Awww, insecure Celty sure is <333 ;A;

Next Episode: NAMIE'S NARRATION. /o/ AND CAN I HAVE SOME NAMIE AND IZAYA HINTS PLEASE? Come on episode 9, come out alreadyyyyyy!! ;-;

It's that music I tell you, it's really makes people feel relaxed when listening to it!

Spoiler for Fortune paper:

Celty's: Basically have the meaning is that she has "found what she is looking for".
Shinra's: 不叶恋: Unrequited love (Okay, maybe I'm just taking the wrong word here, but it should be close)

Pffft Shinra's makes perfect sense to me

Spoiler:

Yeah, Shinra's fortune fits pretty well for his relationship with Celty, and the same for Celty's fortune as well.

But, definitely, for being a headless woman, Celty is absolutely adorable in this episode. It's no wonder she's my favorite character in this anime.

Anri, on the other hand, something is definitely up with her. And, no "thank you," for Mikado who went to the trouble finding her shoes and for some odd reason knew where she lives to bring them to her. I have a sneaking suspicion as to why he knows where she lives but going to wait another episode or two to find out if it's true.

Compared to previous episodes, this one is kind of like a filler if anything... at least to me anyway. Maybe the director tried to use this episode to build up to the next ones. Judging from the synopses (which were translated by anni fiesta, many thanks to her), the story will focus on Celty and her missing head for a while.

I really want to see Celty with her head on. I know it sounds strange, but I'm sure she's going to look very lovely with those large blue eyes of her.

I've seen a few shops of Selty with her head on yesterday, here's some:



There's nothing strange about thinking she'd be lovely. She IS lovely.

[Shiroth]

Celty with a head just looks so... strange.

+1

I'm sorry, but headless is the moe-est thing ever in my whole life in course for girls ;_;

Not to say her face is not lovely, though. But but... I don't know I might be Shinra IRL after all. Eep.

That's okay, because even if/when Celty get her head back, she would still just be carrying it around under her arm. Her head is not suppose to be attached to her neck.

I'm just going to guess that there will be a new OP by episode 13 with the cast of character from the 2nd half.

On a random note,

Spoiler for 8:

anyone annoyed that they didn't show the "culprit" that Kida was going to find?

Random loose end is random.

Also Celty with Head = Does not want =(

I also disagree with Shinra's fortune

Spoiler for 8:

When they were talking about memory and stuff, didn't Celty say something like, "Recently when we're alone, I get this feeling like this is probably the feeling of love?" or something along those line. My random Japanese fails, but I think I heard renbo (恋慕) somewhere ... maybe it's just talking about Shinra being one sided but I thought it's more of Celty's confession @__@.

Then again ... maybe it's just me wanting to hear what I want to hear.

Now that I think about it, all the romance in this is pretty much pathetic on the guy's part ... GIRLS NEED TO CUT THEM SOME SLACK.

They might show it in other episode in the future, but not holding my breath for some reasons

Spoiler for 8:

Nah you're not alone, but it's more like in doubt and questioning to herself though rather than confession, and she did say that after thinking of being grateful to him. (Still I couldn't hear that part correctly, failing ear is failing that I have to check via pocket dictionary ;_; They sound like "renbu" in lo-qual stream, which seriously have no compound meaning orz) Celty is so insecure in this episode after all.

Still, I'm disagreeing with Shinra's fortune though. And I must be the only one who think that Celty's was thinking of Shinra when she receives the fortune cookies and at that time, was thinking that the fortune cookies is giving her the right fortune. BLAME BORDERLINE SHIPPY ATMOSPHERE AND NARRATION WITH SELECTIVE, FAILING HEARING orz

Spoiler for head:

I wont be so bold and say that is "confirmed", cause I believe it's not

nice episode, and.... uhm, am I the only one who want Celty with her head back on her neck?
