THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
December 30 is when they have exhibition.

Before the exhibition, Maon's narrational play with her story about the birds on Christmas day, and everyone looking forward to it. Her debut at Otomeza! The girl helping out with filming! At the end, she improvised the ending that she couldn't finish up.

Snowing at the end, with special ED: Ashita no Hidamari (あしたの陽だまり) by the 4 girls.

lol @ Maon's parents doing the narrational play after the ED.

All the inserted songs and special ED songs are included in vocal album, out December 28, 2011.

Great episode, it was touching to see Maon's recital reflect her own feelings.

Touching episode. I don't view Maon as a shy girl anymore.

awww once more :]
lovelly episode - 3rd about Maon (I don't mind) but again showing her as most interesting character there
and most developed in a way that suits her - she didn't turn from closed in her shell girl to some overactive, loud one (like it happens sometimes in series) she just made few steps and we see the results of it
that's why this series is great - as it would be easy just to ignore her and put as weird background

it's a bit sad that there is only one (or 2 if you count OVA) episodes left - but I don't feel like it need second season, it would be great to see it of course but story was told and it may feel a bit dragged later
I wouldn't mind Maon spin-off on the other side :) (ok Norie could be also there as she again had some nice moments here)

Hartwaring episode.
Really liked how Moan made up her mind at the last moment it's always nice to see people try there best and achieve something.
I hope there exhibition will go well.

There is only one bad thing that can be said, and that is next week will be the last episode.

Everyone is putting so much weight on Maon's shoulders even though she's having trouble getting her story finished. =(

On top of that she's getting to perform in Virgo! That's quite a lot of pressure. The beginning of her story wasn't that great, but it had a really touching plot based on her own experience. She just teared up near the end. ;_;

Next week's New Years and the last episode!

Very good episode. Initially I was afraid this episode was going to be become all positive and light but I'm really glad they dealt with the heavier issues concerning the expectations weighing on their shoulders. It made Maon-tan's courage and progress much more profound.

The part when it pans to her parents and they nod their heads reminded me alot of clannad's nagisa as she performed her play and akio's epic speech :D

One more episode of this animated sleeping pill.
It's not bad but it's too calm for my taste.

Maon's dream came true huh? :P Well, for the place she always wanted to perform at rather. Overall, I thought Maon did a good job with her work. Oh and nice to see snow wrapping off this episode.

Eh, another Maon episode? I thought two was more than enough already. Oh well, it was nice at least.
I like Maon, but the others outshine her a lot in my opinion. I need more Kao episodes. Hopefully there will be more in the second season.

5/5

The plot lingers on Maon, and his character, I do not think it is a photocopy of the previous episodes, here is the plot focuses on insecurity, but wants to keep proving that it grows along with the other! : D
The comic parts are always nice and the designs are beautiful without being pretentious version is also deformed.
Very nice OST!

this was a good episode. It was cute to see Maon so nervous. Hell, I'd be nervous too. But I kinda wish we had an episode centered about Noire. This the 3 episode focused on Maon. Maybe in the next season?

The performance was success, but Maon's story was mushy though, but it made me smile nonetheless.

Norie comes up with questions with interesting direction in them.. Well, hopefully Maon will realize what she wants to do in the performance.. Though, very tight time limit for preparing sucks..
So what were Maon's parents doing in the end?.. It seems that maybe something embarrassing to Maon.. Maybe they were telling about their feelings about their daughter in a story.. Or something.. Well, who knows.. ;P
