One thing in this episode gave me a really pissed off feeling... the scene where Yuuko was in her room and the "BRO" was sitting silently with the cigg in his mouth while leaning on the wall... just gave me a very bad taste in the mouth... like made me think that sumthin is gonna happen soon... not going to watch releases if their not from menclave so it's gonna take me some time untill i find out...

Oh wow, it's been 2 whole months since I saw episode 4... I have been waiting for Menclave's release all this time.
...And now, finally, I get to watch more of Ef's epic drama!!! ¦3

I totally loved this episode—hey now that I think about it, this anime is my 2nd most favorite at this point in time(obsessed with Clannad right now).
By the time I watched this episode, the series had finished airing 3 weeks ago -_-.
But hey, as long as I get to watch it...—ANYWAY, MIYAKO'S BACK!! Yoohoo~!! ~And Hiro too.
I wonder how does Nagi now Hiro, and quite well at that. Are they brother or something? Or did I just happen to miss/forgot something?

I wonder, will there be a third season? Or have they ran down out of the game's material? Hmmm I hope's not the latter.

Lol at the star wars part. I'm glad to see Miyako and Hiro again. I was a bit surprised over the relationships (Hiro is Nagi's younger brother).

However, the Mizuki x Kuze thing is a bit beyond what I can tolerate

Nice episode. A little hard to get back in the story since I had it on hold on the 3rd episode for a while.

For some reason, i'm actually enjoying this season more than the first so far. And, I freakin' loved the first.

I think it has to do with the fact that Mizuki feels like the main character in her story with Kuze, it's very rare for a show of this type to base the story from a females point of view.

And, the Yuuko and Yuu storyline is sort of mysterious to me.

Ok this episode was the deciding factor of Kuze x Hayama's love with this kiss=>
it was obvious that the love is in full bloom!

Why do I have the feeling Amamiya sensei is such a freak and hiding the worst from me at this stage with this face=>
he looks like so sick pedophile/murderer....bet he is hiding something worse than I think!

Rofl......Yuu is a jedi? Star Wars reference here? I wonder about this one.......=>
I also liked seeing Chihiro show up as well as Nagi being around and of course Miyako! :D Those were nice to see and oh....Hiro of course was welcomed! :D

So good to see Hiro and Miyako again!

I paused the screen, stared at it for a second after Kuze and Hayama kissed and thought 'When the hell did that happen?'

The last line of the episode was truly heartbreaking. Why did he accept her in the the first place if this is what he intended to do?

Because he needed someone regardless....I think he is just confused.

Kuze is following the Hedgehog's Dilemma theory by using masks to protect and prevent other people from getting close. Especially, since he doesn't have time left, why would he burden someone with the pain of his death? A similar situation with Renji x Chihiro.

Big boobed artist girl seems very annoyed that whitehair is spending so much time with the other girl.

Great episode, good to see some old characters from the first season and a great part of the backstory again, was also quite fun with the quote of "May the force be with you"

The ending was sad but well I know why he does it even if it's cold it's better this way!

Lets see what's up with the next episode!

Omg that ending really got me. Both the before and after the ending song.
24-01-2009 will be a really sad day if he is right. This show is really touching but I guess the best (or worst) parts are still to come.

Hoping to see Hiro and Miyako, but doubtful because they are in Japan and the story takes place in Australia.

Just organizing my thoughts...
So people in Japan right now: hiro, miyako, nagi, and yuuko. Everyone else in Australia
wonder where Kei is but doesn't really matter for me
kuze mizuki arc is getting really depressing
good to see nagi helping out hiro, would be interesting to see her interact with himura now given that incident

Since when did Mizuki and Kuze become close enough to kiss each other?

I think nude artist girl is the one who bullies Yuuko.

Hiro and Miyako appearance!!

Yeah there seems to be some time jumping going on and confusing me.

Miyako best character. Mizuki would be the best if she didn't like Kuze.

Not liking this season so far. I thought first season was ok.

That short scene with Yuuko and Akira in the bedroom felt very ominous.
Not sure how I feel about Kuze and Mizuki being together considering the age difference being 10 years at least and Mizuki not even being 18 yet.

I'm glad to see Hiro and Miyako again. I thought Nagi was his mother, turns out she's his sister.

Nagi going to Australia sure is gonna complicate things between Mizuki and Kuze. If they continue their relationship that is. Despite what I wanted, I know full well Mizuki's gonna pursue this relationship.

Also, Yuko's adopted brother had issues. The assumption he had about Yuko and Himura was wild.
