Very heartfelt sendoff to Yui although once again, it was too brief to absorb the full range of emotions I wish I could have felt. It just makes me wish Angel Beats had been around 20 episodes so these moments would have more time to flourish. That said, Hinata talking about how he'd meet Yui was my favorite part. The ED song is so wonderful and has remained one of my favorite tearjerkers.

Wouldn't it be more romantic if Hinata and Yui both crossed over together? I can't fathom why Hinata remained.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Best episode so far! Yui is the best!

Was Hinata for real or was that just an act to fulfill the wish? I did get the feeling that they secretly did have feelings for each other but I couldn't tell for sure if it was a real declaration.

Either way, not ashamed to say I cried at it all.

Why did this episode have to make me laugh, then make me cry hard? I wasn't expecting that for fuck's sake.
Pretend there's something flashy and cool here.

As I commented last episode, what the MC is doing seems wrong because there's some deception and forcing going on without Yui's knowledge. She's not consciously making the decision to want to move on, the MC is making that decision for her and making her unknowingly go through the motions to move on. What is even the point of free-will if she's going to be manipulated into it like that? I can't even think of it as she's being given guidance, she doesn't even know what's going on, nor the consequence of what she's doing. She's totally unaware, and there is no disclosure of what the MC is doing to her. The MC is doing wrong while thinking he's doing good, I think an argument could be made that what he's doing is "the road to hell is pave with good intentions".

Also what awaits after people are disappeared? It seems implied it's a memory wipe and reincarnation. At first I thought it was just unconfirmed speculation, but it seems to be supported by what Angel says. So what is even the point of resolving issues people had in their past life? It seems to be implied that it's giving people peace before they move on, but how it's portrayed here in the school is people being stripped of their will not to let go, and forced to move on to oblivion (that's what it is if it's a memory wipe and reincarnation, they never made an argument it's anything otherwise). They're not doing it of their own free choice, it would have been much better off if the school allowed them to sort things out on their own, and deciding to want to move on by coming to terms and peace with whatever lingering regrets they've had. Not having peace thrusted upon them, and made to move on.

I'm starting to dislike this anime and the MC more and more. The MC effectively taken over as antagonist, and Angel is no longer the antagonist. I can even excuse Angel now as she just didn't know any better for how clumsily she was doing things before. But the MC is pretty traitorous for forcing his "help" onto his supposed friends/allies. "Yeah I'm going to help you by forcing my choices over your own", what an asshat. Yui didn't actually get those re-imagined "happy memories" of meeting up with baseball guy while she was disabled, what she got was a lie, vs what was actually real where she met him in this fake school environment. Couldn't she have found peace in what was real instead of the lie?

Damn I did not think I would tear up just a bit at the end there but still it was very heartfelt and melancholic moment for Yui. It was foreshadowed a bit that Yui and Hinata liked each other because of the chemistry they got going on in the prev eps but now that Yui disappears after Iwasawa left me more saddened than ever before.

Seems like next episode another chaos starts to happen.

as much as im all for hinata x yui, that ending kinda seemed out of the blue considering how much they'd been butting heads lol

I guess he was trying to help her pass? maybe I'm reading to much into it

I really did not expect the pink hair girl and the blue hair guy romance, but I I'm definitely going to support it. It was really beautiful what happened between them.
