Oh poor Noel. Don't break things! Just kidding.

Was a funny episode for the first half tbh mostly because of Noel. I suppose the feels comes from the second half regarding Nonoka's mom ;_;

Decent episode overall. I kinda liked how the snow brightened the mood with more hope.

Noel's reaction to Souta's act was priceless. So adorable, haha.

Still nothing outstanding, but it's nice that we got a little bit more backstory behind Nonoka. It looks like she'll be making up with Shione soon enough, too.

Great ending theme -- was wondering if they'd have a song for that melody!

Noel was cute >.< Playing with it , accidentally breaking it, then starting to worry about it. I thought she might had run away.

Souta teasing Noel and making her cry. It was nice to see them working on fixing monster-san.

Nonoka really loved her mother and it being the reason she escaped and forgot many things. It was nice to see her overcome it, and the short scene with her dad being at "work" to give Nonoka a chance to meet her mom!

Shione was really close to Nonoka before. To be affected to such an extent, can't wait till Nonoka get Shione together with everyone~

Its like she needs to protect it somehow ?
But damn, Noel's roar makes my heart skips a beat , cuteness overload .
Souta seems really nice despite being cold at the start of the show. Btw did anyone notice that Noel looks kinda down when the snow falls ?? Im having a bad feeling bout this....

The overcast atmosphere was pretty effective this week, then when the snow started coming down it was so beautiful and yet melancholic at the same time. Oh, and stick boy finally showed some decent personality this week.

Wow, talk about an excellent episode! The moe factor from Noel is still strong, but for once this show properly delivered in other areas without seeming overly forced. I really didn't expect Shione to have had quite a close relationship with Nonoka's mother in the past. The ending of this episode seemed to indicate that we're finally going to see things get patched up with Shione and Nonoka soon, after which we may finally get some more answers about Noel and the saucer (assuming this is doing things like Anohana).

Noel and Monster Board-San was a moe overload moment for me. Too adorable! =3

An excellent episode that the show needed. It gave us a good insight into the reasons why Nonoka had to move in the past and how her mother's passing affected Nonoka into closing off her memories of her friends and her time in the town almost entirely.

When the snow starting falling at the cemetery, it gave off a peaceful, yet melancholic feel to the scene which played out really nicely. Also, Shione agreeing that she wants to watch the meteor shower with the others shows us that Shione could slowly but surely start warming up to Nonoka and Co now.

This episode was great! Noel was extremely cute! Though she had been cute throughout the series, I think the scene between her and the Monster Board was the cutest so far. xD

I really like ther new development about Nonoka and we finally got the answers as to why she didn't remember anything before her mother's death. The atmosphere for this episode was nicely done too! Can't wait to see what's next!

So Shione does want to fix the relationship with Nonoka but she is just being stubborn about it.
Well i wonder how they will make up seeing as Shione is avoiding Nonoka even at the graveyard when visiting her mothers grave.

Nonoka's mother must have made a huge impression on Shione that she even visits her grave on her birthday.

There were some feels in the second half but it wasn't as sad as I was expecting...However Noel breaking the monster was the cutest thing, literally. Noel should be the main character, I want to see so much more of her!


I hope they begin to explain the saucer a bit more in coming episodes though...

Quite the moving episode. The flashback to Nonoka, her mother, and Shione provide insight into why Shione is now hostile toward Nonoka. Shione appeared to be a friendless little kid, and Nonoka's mom brought the two of them together. Her death, and Nonoka's reaction to it (a sort of amnesia), has made Shione resentful toward Nonoka.

I have moebetes again.
Noel was so cute when she was with monster san.

And at last, a little shinning time for Souta.
And we got the background story covered.
Now we only need to know about the wish and the saucer (which we already know that it's connected to Noel, and she also said that on this episode, not directly).
Don't let it end like AnoHana.

Noel's reactions to breaking Kaiju-san were too cute! Too moe for me. >.<

> "Itai yo, itai yo! Onaka ga itakute shinjau yo!"
Lol. Souta is such a dick! I was dying laughing when he was trolling Noel! XD
Well, he decided to fix Kaiju-san to make up for it at least.

I don't get why Nonoka is beating herself up over some stupid reasons. Just because she neglected/forgot about her (late) mom for a while and tried to be happy with her friends, doesn't mean her mom would've been disappointed at her.
No parents would want to see their child be upset, regardless of the circumstances. She was being so melodramatic, I don't even...

Shione is probably a hardcore tsundere. She seems to be gentle towards Noel only so far. Hope she becomes a bit more friendly.

Decent episode. It seems like Noel can't be outside the saucer's vicinity. I assume she'd disappear if that were to happen. (Which will probably happen at the end of the series).

Did I miss an episode where Nonoka or someone else told Yuzuki and Koharu about her mom? And hopefully it hit Yuzuki that she should set herself on fire for the gigantic bitch she was being considering the reason Nonoka moved and the reason she forgot everything. And there just wasn't enough buildup to really make that grave scene very impactful for that reason.

That said, I liked the episode for the most part, minus the frustrating and jarring direction. Shione's drama is coming off leagues better than Yuzuki's so far(of course), but I don't really see how you can justify her being so mad at Nonoka when she seems to know the entire story. I especially liked the first half though, where the tone started off very SOL light hearted with Noel's help and then gradually built to the two comforting Nonoka at the graveyard. It was a much better episode than anything we've seen from this, but I'm not expecting too much of a turn around due to the incomplete feeling the direction gives.

Speaking of jarring direction, that ending lol.

Sorry to say this Monster-san, but your arm has fallen off. It seems like your bottom half is missing too.
The second part was quite emotional.
Seems like Nonoka and Shione are gonna reconcile soon, hopefully.

Omg....Noel. My heart cant handle all the kawaii!

Seriously, 10 seconds in when she looks at the monster and goes gaooooo!
I'm a grown ass man and I let out a fucking squeal.

Her helping repair the monster was cute as all hell too.

Then we got some feels. Togawa kind of being a bitch for no reason. She visits the grave, does all this stuff behind Nonoka's back but then acts mean to her. Plz, who are you fooling? You'd think that if Nonoka told the story about her mom dying to Togawa that she'd understand but she'd probably just be stubborn.

Then it ended with more Noel!!!

Really enjoyed the parts with Noel and Souta. Souta's a nice kid, I like the way he interacts with Noel. When she asked how she could help, he told her that she could hold down Monster-san's arm so he doesn't squirm. I don't know if I could be like him and be creative about the situation. Also, when he said it was a surgery :) Too cute.

I've been trying to figure out her disposition for awhile now. I can't fault her for being angry about Nonoka moving without telling her, or forgetting about her/everyone. However, seeing as she already knew about the situation with Nonoka's mom, I don't see why she's giving her a hard time. If she truly considered Nonoka and herself as friends then she should be a little more understanding of her situation. Given this, her attitude towards Nonoka comes across as petty imo.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

Poor Nonoka.

I found this episode pretty touching actually. The melodrama made sense, unlike all previous instances of it, and it was genuinely sad.

On the other hand, the interactions between Souta and Noel were gold.

Best episode so far! The whole thing was just beautiful and slowly but surely the past were revealed.

Some might say this show was being over-dramatic but personally I like that they took their time to reveal the drama. Shione's action might seem weird before (and still is a little bit right now) but in due time it'll be revealed why she was so bitter. That's probably why I couldn't drop this show even though I wanted to last time. I knew there's always much more than what it seems in the surface, we just have to be patient.

Oh God, I do not know why but the anime is having a growth that I is really willing.
Noel is lovely and still hides secrets.
Curious to know them.
Plot still uncertain, but go ahead.
The drawings and scenes are well-drawn and colored with colors so hot as to make me feel at peace.
I look forward to the next episode.
I like more the opening, but also the new ending and really catchy.

It's not a secret this show is a tear-jerker tryhard one but it's just too damn cute. ^^
So now Shione wants to make up with Nonoka. I was not expecting this until the end of the series. Noel didn't want to go. What would happen if Noel was far away from the saucer?
It looks like Koharu liked Monter-san's fixed version. :)

for a moment i hoped that the episode would focus 100% on Noel, but i suppose it turned out to be rather enjoyable. we finally understand why she had to move away so suddenly. we can't blame her if her mother was terminally ill. as always, Noel was adorable. her reaction when the mascot thing broke
>w<
we still don't know why Shione is mad at her, other than Nonoka supposedly lied to her.
i'm hoping she has a better reason to be mad at her than Yuzuki.

This episode was weird, first Nonoka comments on how Koharu always pushed Yuzuki forward, making me think she remembers stuff then during lunch it was pretty obvious she actually doesn't and then she says she started forgetting stuff, I'm guessing she doesn't remember everything yet, unless the lunch scene meant something else, still, I'd have liked if they showed us when she remembers stuff otherwise it just makes it look like she's remembering stuff for plot's sake. Like, first she doesn't remember anyone then she does, it's just too sudden.

At this point Noel is just to distract you from the drama and overall plot, can't say I like that too much but she's good at her job though and this episode was pretty good in that front, more flashbacks are more than welcome too.

I was thinking Noel couldn't leave town because of the Disc and the monster was just an excuse, guess I was right, would be pretty funny if the Disc went away if Noel just left town, now there's someone to get mad at.

Awww Noel trying to fix Monster-san. I don't remember Nonoka telling the others that her mom had died...I guess i had missed that part. All this time I thought they didn't know.

Some progress on the re-friendship of Nonoka and Shione. Hopefully, soon. *crossing fingers*

It's always seeing the flashbacks of them as little kids, so cute! Specially Nonoka and shione. :)

I wonder why Noel can't go too far?? is she safer close to the disk?

Anyways nice, interesting and cute episode. :)
