| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, this wasn't very impressive. I guess this is another episode where the character refuses to face reality, kind of like Inuo back in episode 7 or something, only this episode was done much crappier. I didn't even know this many people still listen to radio programs these days. *sighs* Anyways, the next episode looks fillerish as well, unfortunately. I hope it'll be better than this episode, and I hope we reach the climax soon. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| i personally liked this episode because it portrayed a theme which teenagers can easily relate to. sure, it does seem very similar to Inuo's case, but the theme is very different imo. it's Growing Up. For Inuo, it was more a case of living a life of deceit and rejecting the truth. But in this episode, the girl (i cant remember her name ^^;) is refusing to grow up and accept that it's all just business, nothing personal. as an example, take the case when a child learns that santa claus is actually mommy and daddy, or that fairy tales are fairy tales. it's sometimes very hard for a teenager to accept reality as an adult. sometimes, we choose to hold dear on to our dreams and refuse to go with the flow. another thing is that maybe she has very few friends, and really thinks the radio announcer cares about her. well, she actually blushed at his words.. lol.. cute naive girl.. i think that was why she pulled the rope.. well, in this episode i kept on guessing which person she would send.. since both her friend and the composer deserve it from her point of view.. her decision was quite shocking.. but it kinda made sense.. if she sent the composer, then her beloved radio announcer's personality would inevitably change and ppl would notice it.. this season has really deep metaphors and themes.. for those who are interested, try listening to the 反省会 for each episode at biglobe streaming. the director and producer discusses every episode for about 5 mins. @guyklc: hmm i think most ppl only listen to radio on the way to work nowadays? my radio broke down so i havent listened for a long time.. but recently i've been listening to anime specials' internet radio broadcasts, like minakike(minami ke) and candy boy's radio broadcast. actually i didnt really know about radio composers before watching this episode.. but after watching this, i understood how those announcers can talk so fast without pausing sometimes.. but yeah, TV is a lot more popular than radio.. |

| Another person gets send to hell for stupid reasons. Keep away from fan girls. They are crazy and dangerous. Again there was no scene of torture but i guess it would feel unfair for that poor girl to have such a scene. Lol at the scene were Emma Ai new the words of the show. Crazy fan girl Emma Ai. Ha! Ha! that was funny. |

| hehe ai is a fan girl of that guy too ^_^ I wished they showed what the guy actor for the radio show looked liked though, I'm still curious >.< Also, the girl *so* did not deserve to go to hell, but then that seems to be the theme so far, huh? =P |
 |
| Lol at Ai being a fan of that Joutario radio channel. Besides, why would you send someone to hell with that kind of reasoning? Every programs are scripted, damnit. Sending someone to hell just because of a radio program being scripted? Aaaaah e-rageee. |
| wow chii-chan... at first i didnt no WHO she was gonna send 2 hell... hehe then i finally got it when she pulled out hone-onae... still stupid scripts!!! XP haha |
 |
| Urgh *facepalm* |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| First thing to say - Chi-chan was really kawai. Somehow I knew that Chi-chan will send Frog Princess to hell. Mitsuganae's theme was pretty much predicting it - people want to escape reality and they punish every person who prevent them to do so. So Frog Princess was pretty much the one who'll end up in hell. Only she knew about the scripting. She was probably the only person around her who was aware of the truth, so even her presence was unlikable for Chi-chan. One thing more. It might not be as strong reason as the first one, but still it's possible to be true one. Maybe Chi-chan deeply hurt by what happened to her decided that she does not want more people in future to get deceived by the likes of script writers, so she prevented Frog Princess from becoming one. Yes, I know this is not in Mitsuganae's spirit, but if it was Season 1 it would probably turn out to something like this. In this season people are too much of egoists compared to the one in Season 1. |

| Contrary to the majority here, I actually liked this episode. Even though it was simple, I still think it was well-developed... though perhaps that's just because I like the series so much, idk. EDIT: I just read your post, @Meritas (one post above this), and I think what you wrote was very interesting, and I agree with you. Very, very interesting points. |

| Great episode but what a plot twist, why would chi-chan banish the other girl rather than the writer oO, oh well it was a nice story! up to the next episode :D |
 |
| Shocked to find out the friend was sent. I predicted the announcer or the writer... man, wasn't prepare for this. |
 |
| another flawless woman's logic episode.... love this show |
 |
| This show just keeps surprising me, every time when I think I knew who was gonna be sent to hell, it's someone different and for a stupid reason T.T |
 |
| I kinda liked this episode. It's fun to see how they always crack in the end and pretend like nothing happened xD |
 |
| well this time i was totally wrong who was going to hell i knew who frog girl was first moment i saw her but actually thought she would sent her to hell because she got more read lately. well that was probably hard to find out who she loved was just made but yeah welcome to real life the same thing happens here to lol. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| This episode was kinda terrible....like no one listens to radio programs like that anymore, like i have to say the ending was a little creepy with her self denial of her role model being scripted and still getting those little bells, its turned into an obsession. The thing i don't get is how could one get obsessed by doing that? Like is the girl that brainless to understand that there is more to life than her role model (forgot his name) like seriously she needs help. I wish this show would have more reoccurring characters cuz i feel like each episode is like half of a story and the rest never gets finished. |
| I liked this episode until Chiriko went all fangirl mode on Kaname just because she wanted to become a radio scenario writer like Jotaro and sent her to hell. Just when I thought the contractors couldn't get any stupider. What pissed me off the most was that Chiriko was so stupid that she killed off her friend instead of the script writer. Just shows how crazy fangirls are. Seeing her hugging her radio like a crazy bitch at the end pissed me off to no end. I haven't wanted to punch a girl so hard in quite a while. FUCK YOU CHIRIKO YOU PSYCHO BITCH! 6/10 average episode. |
| The main girl is so useless. And once again the reason to send someone to hell is retarded. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| I'm not even surprised anymore, these stupid reasons just keep piling up one after the other. |
 |
| I'll modify the name I gave to this season before from innocent people being sent to hell to innocent people being sent to hell and crazy senders |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Another meh episode. No more punishment before sending to hell? |

| Unfortunately, Chi-chan is a piece of trash. And Yuzuki is back to square one: uselessness. |
| Ai was very very cute during this episode, being a fan of that light night show to the surprise of everyone else, lol. Anyway, still cute. |

| "Girls Mature Faster Than Boys." Idk about this saying man. This girl was straight up dumb, I don't have anything to say. Why did you a send your "new" friend to hell. It's not worth, at all. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
Alex_TheForest said: "Girls Mature Faster Than Boys." Idk about this saying man. This girl was straight up dumb, I don't have anything to say. Why did you a send your "new" friend to hell. It's not worth, at all. While it's true that biologically girls mature a few years earlier than boys, some people are just born stupid. This girl was a prime example. |
  . |
| Chi-chan really hated to see another girl boss winning, and understanding what scripting was. Man was she immature. |
| can't believe this thread is still going since 2009 |
 |
| Sometimes I feel like every pointless thing is a reason to send someone to hell. Episodes like this are not my favorites. |
| The girl just suffered from low general knowledge. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that radio programs are written beforehand. |
