Eh.

Wake me...

when you've got fansubs

Also judging from the preview, someone doesn't want to let something get touched. :>

Spoiler for spoilers:

Bit of a slow episode ... Yui's introduction, Iwasawa's story, some pc hacking for student info / Tenshi abilities, a concert ... and then .. and then .. I'm still speechless. My favorite character gone just like that

[Ice Block]

Nice, fluid drumming. Will comment later when subs are out.

Spoiler for epi03:

The ED got changed too... If they do it every episode, indeed this won't get boring...

[serenade_beta]

To start off positive... The very last part with Ishikawa disappearing and stuff related to the setting were interesting.
...
Sorry, that's all... ( -_-)

The rest was rather unimpressive.
The cold gags turn the Summer-like Spring weather into Winter
...But this has been like this since the start, so I'm like, well, the serious will be better!
...
Nope.
We get an incredibly Key-like story of oh-how-tragic (wait, deja vu?) of her poor, poor life. Na~h, quit it with these cheap sob stories...
And to top it off, the concert scene was quite odd.
For one thing, the girl's voice changed when she sang. (No, seriously, the person voiceing her changed for the singing).
Then we have those teachers... who stop dead in their tracks when she started singing again. What, does her songs have some paralysis effect?

But then it got good at the end and all... Pity only just that part...
Still, we going to get this type of sob story every week? Even TK? I'd be really sad if TK disappeared, even if the episode structure was cheap.

Just glad my favorites all got some spotlight this time. I especially liked what Yusa did. >w>

I'm betting on Noda or what's-his-face-with-the-sword next time.

True, they didn't let Sawashiro sing. Apparently they aren't gonna let Yui's voicer sing either. Anyone wanna start a petition?

Maybe Sawashiro can't sing, I see that she doesn't have any singles on her wiki page.

I guess no one bothered to add the info. Here's the list from Jap wiki: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B2%....B3.E6.A5.BDCD.

Besides, anyone can sing with enough post-processing.

Ugh, yes please. Noda irks me. >__>;

[MeoTwister5]

Subs have been out a while.

[Hypernova]

Well that was a pretty sad ep,

-Yuri is forced to consider that her assumptions with Tenshi is wrong. And I loved the "o-shi..." face she made upon seeing GS-Harmonic.

-Tneshi's not just some programme but is fully self aware.

[Key Board]

Ok, I am considerably sure now

Everyone in this world LIED ABOUT THEIR DEATHS.

They make up a false story to make their lives seem a lot more tragic that it originally was.

That is why everyone will be shocked when Otonashi recovers his memory as his death will probably be completely mundane. Something along the lines of.. I threw a hissy fit and killed myself in a motorcycle accident.


The REAL SAD STORY will start when they come in terms with that.

I don't see the point in that.

Wow. Just wow. I didn't see that coming. Whats going to happen to Girls death monster now?

[GDB]

Hrmm, my Yuri death theory took a huge hit this episode, considering I was basing the theory on the part in the PV which apparently seemed to be of Iwasawa rather than Yuri. Still possible, but took a huge hit. Drat!

Yui will probably take over as guitarist...or something like that.

[descent87]

Personally I'm taking this somewhat as more evidence of the whole "people returning to life" theory rather than passing on to heaven or reincarnation. I base this basically off of Iwasawa's last words which I assume are supposed to mean something to us.
