Okay, the Renji and Chihiro story I am 100% absolutely loving, but the Miyako, Hiro, Kei story really felt rushed this episode. It didn't seem Hiro was so interested in Miyako, and then suddenly they're kissing, and even more suddenly they're in bed. I feel like I'm missing one or two episodes here.

But love the Renji and Chihiro story still. Really spectacular writing and characterization there.

Dangos in ef. Absolute win!

Was another very nice episode, Kei's got no more way to deny that Hirono's together with Miyako. I'm glad Chihiro was able to get a grip onto her live again, somehow. Renji finally seems to take her novel more serious, as in seeing that it's actually herself Chihiro's talking about. Looking forward to more.


f**k yeah :D

Dango Daikazoku+amazing music+amazing kiss scene+amazing kiss scene music=f-in awesome :D

Kei-chan annoys the hell out of me...grow up jeez

i swear after H2O footprins in the sand this anime has the best OST i heared in an anime

Agreed, but I still thought the Hiro and Miyako moment on the beach was pretty f-ing nice. Clannad light orbs I like ^_^

As usual, the Renji and Chihiro story really is brilliant. Can't wait to see how this all wraps up in 3 eps.

Yet another one added to the long running string of good episodes. 5 dangos / 5

Too much Renji/Chirhiro, not enough Hirano/Kei/Miyaki.

Although Dango's in this was a thumbs up.

"If you want to dissappear from her life, nows the time." That was powerful. Dango daikazoku!

That kiss was pretty magical if there were green orbs flying everywhere. Them in bed together gives this anime a more realistic feel..its a good thing.

Uh oh.. Kei fround out.

I was wondering why this series was rated R. Now I know. A little bummed they couldn't keep it from getting physical. We've had almost no fanservice whatsoever, and then...

Miyako was not my favorite character. I liked Kei a lot early on, now she's just meh. This series is treating me just like Toradora did!

Chihiro's story is the true beauty of the series though. Good to see all the focus on that.

That was too fast, I never knew that Hirono was really that interested in Miyako. First he forgot his date with Miyako and didn't seem to care much about it afterward. Then, all of a sudden he accepted Miyako. Hmm.. I hope this doesn't turn out like School Days.

from what i've watched and read.. liars lose in romance

not rly caring about hirono's relationship as much compared to renji's and chihiro's.. more interesting

it was too sudden though, just meeting once, and u go to bed together already.. not touching compared to the renji and chihiro

Totally did not expect that kiss and bed scene.

Church scene was great and I interested to see how Kei does with all this.

I also think ChihiroxRenji is doing very well. Awesome story.

I don't mind that Miyako and Hirono jumped into bed too quickly, it doesn't seem very unrealistic to me to be honest. (As sad as that is.) I'm just worried about that ending. Kei walking in on them in bed can only have bad results, imho. ;_;

i personally think that Kei is an annoying kid, selfish to the max and a straight pain in the ass. why? she can't keep out of others business, just so things turn out well for herself, no she wants to get involved to an obsessive degree. She really crossed the line after deleting the voicemails miyako sent hiro. just fuck off and dissapear.

^ this is also the most interesting story. the renjixchihiro thing is painful and perhaps well told, but it feels like a dead end + ive already learned to cope with that from the moment she told him about her memory defect -- you know, as a viewer, the consequences that WILL follow and im sure all of you saw the relationship coming. Imo, this story would have been stronger if they developed an intimate relationship, then the accident, and to see him suffering afterwards. THAT would be strong.

on a side note, this anime isnt anything special.. i had higher expectations of this.

Kei is the selfish one? Not crazy Miyako who got stood up and then sent 100 voice messages to Hiro? Now that makes sense, doesn't it ^^
You're overlooking their motives. As I can see you've finished ef, so this goes into the spoiler tags.



PS: I completely agree with you on the RenjiXChihiro.

That's what I thought. I didn't care for MiyakoxHirono until the beach scene, which I thought was really great. Then they got in bed and I thought "... what?" The ending with Kei was win though. I'm thinking that she will become even more dis-likable though.

the dango daikazoku was PURE WIN

and miyaki and hiro together was just.... FUUUUUUCK YESSSSSS!!!!

seeing kei get devastated at the end was so relieving, she really deserved to have her heart broken in the worst way imaginable
although now, i cant help but be scared that she'll try to kill either miyako, hiro, or even both.....

and i absolutely love how renji keeps fighting to be with chihiro, and how chihiro is trying hard to return to herself to be with renji

i hope those two never give up, and that their novel finishes with the girl (chihiro) not being lonely anymore

this series seriously gets a 10/10

I absolutely loved this episode! I'm not a huge Kei fan although i feel bad for her. Im kinda biased since Miyako's been my favorite since she was introduced, plus that beach scene was auto win.
Did not expect the bed thing but i literally jumped out of my chair in pure happiness =).
And i do find it strange..Kei was running faster than the bike lol, reaction was priceless!

Great episode the first part escalated quickly "kiss than sex"
The second part was really sad for both of them especially the ending!

And damn the absolute ending, to have her find out that way must be horrible for her, I wonder what will happen next!

The diary barely touches his head and then he gushes blood, I know wounds to the head tend to bleed profusely but first you have to make a wound. Don't let him handle the diary he might get a paper cut and bleed to death.

What an episode...animation is absolutely stunning, as always. Also, LOL at the Dangos... First Touhou (YES!!!) and Lucky Star, now this... Shaft, you're awesome.

One thing that is surprising me is that I actually like all of the characters in this show. Usually in love triangles/dramas there are some characters that you dislike, or are obviously made to dislike. This show has neither, and I believe that it's largely due to the fact that they are made to be so human. They are not fake or some cookie-cutter stereotype. Their emotions and reactions are just so genuine and believable that you can't help but feel for them.

Case in point, I started to dislike (ok, well there you go) Kei after that episode with the phonecalls, and when it got to the point where she found Kei and Hiro together I instinctively felt "screw you, it's only what you deserve," but then it hit me that she's really just a person. She may have went a bit overboard, but she was only scared of losing the one she loved.

Hiro having feelings for Miyako is kinda awkward and unnatural. I mean, he seemed he doesn't give a damn on her on the past few episodes until this and then they kissed and had sex? What the heck?

Renji and Chihiro's relationship seems more natural than theirs.

The scene at the bitch was beautiful, as well as the scene at Hiro's home (of course I don't mean it that way >_>).

So, as much as Miyako felt he was the escape from her world, Hiro thought the same about her. With each other, they could really escape together from this world, into a new and unknown place, where no one could reach them: the place of feelings.

God, so much action lately :P

Poor Renji, I didn't thought about how hard it would be for him that Chihiro forget everything. It must be awful, to see the person you love always forget you. I have a feeling it'll not be the only time he'll live that.

Miyako won this round. I think that Kei kinda deserved it, still... I dunno, Hiro is pretty irresponsible, to live with such a messed up situation. If he could just choose and explain to the other girl the situation, then one of them could turn the page.

In anyway, I just hope that Kei can find happiness in Camera-boy arm (it look from the forum that nobody remmeber his name xD ), since HiroxMiya is pretty much sealed.

Really, how can anyone cheer for any girl in this anime that is not Chihiro?
Miyamura and Rei are both terrible people. I liked Kei up until episode 7, but she is totally stupid and mean, and I hope none of you that cheer for Miyamura ends up having to put up with an obsessive girlfriend like I had. Jesus Christ, Hirono should just stay the fuck away from both. If you think that sending 99 mails to someone in a couple of hours is cute you have mental problems or never been into that kind of situation. Jesus fucking Christ, how I hate these 2 girls.
Now, Chihiro side is really great for now, and something we don't see every couple of years in anime, like the love traingle arc.

My personal anime list backround is in this episode! (When Miyako and Hirono kiss!)
And they had sexxxxx holy shit (they are like my OTP okayyy)
Anyways, haha there are a lot of good quotes you could take out of this episode! Some quite philisophical to be honest (On the Renji/Chihiro side):
-"The world is only 2 sides of one coin!" (Yuu Himura)

-"If memories change would the person change as well? Or would they stay the same?" (Chihiro)

-"Are you trying to tell me her (Chihiro's) existence is more fragile than sand?" (Renji to the sandcastle)
