EP. REVIEW: Celestial Method

Yes, she's told Nonoka that before and we all just assumed that she believed her because she didn't say anything to the contrary, but what if she was just humoring a cute little girl? In any case, it seems to truly hit her this week, and with Shione also coming to accept the girl's statement, it looks like there's a bit of a shake-up in the way everyone views our favorite blue-haired child.

I really have a hard time with swallowing this. Yes young girls can and do say fantasy-like things all the time and adults generally humor them, but all the other oddities regarding Noel just have to be totally ignored to make this part of the story work. Unless you are stipulating mind manipulation of some kind.

Noel doesn't age in 10 years.

Noel doesn't live anywhere but an abandoned observatory. She has no family. She doesn't go to school. She says she cannot travel outside the vicinity of the saucer and she never does even though she would clearly like to. She wears the same clothes rain shine snow and it is a complete mystery how she lives. She can point at the saucer and make it simulate fireworks. She is the elephant in the room nobody notices. Nobody asks about any of this even once.

To avoid being nothing but a rhetorical and pointless cheat, the story is going to have to address all this at some point.[/img]

I actually think that Shione realized that once their wish is granted, Noel will disappear. And their wish was probably something like: "we want always be together".

That particular wish cannot be granted because "always" never happens completely. Since "always" has some part of it in the future at all times, "always" never happens. So if that is the wish Noel has to hang around until it is done, which it will never be.

Shione needs to get over herself. Nonoka had no control over whether or when she would be leaving town so blaming her for leaving is not fair. She is not mocking you and thinking you are stupid, she has amnesia, weirdly spotty though it may be. I would like to see her beg for forgiveness for being such a petty and horrible person. And if they regret summoning that saucer before she left, they should not take it out on her. They agreed to do it so they can't fairly put all the blame on her and as said before she could not control her leaving

Episode 9
I do wonder how the creators are going to fill the last 4 episodes.

I am not complaining about getting 4 more episodes of the pretty looking and charming Celestial Method, but I am curious about the upcoming content.

Wouldn't retaining Noel forever deny the next person in line their wish? They've been waiting for 10 years already. Seems a bit selfish to do that.
