It seems to be slowly moving away from the "monster of the week" format. I believe the 9th episode is called Charlotte, so presumably all will be explained then. |

Thanks; after seeing episode 7, I have the same hope.

I have never seen an anime that has ever shown a real funeral, because a real funeral entails having the body cremated, picking the deceased’s bones out of the ash with chopsticks, and then putting the bones and ashes in an urn. I don’t know if you have ever heard of the stigma of passing food to another person’s chopsticks before, but it comes from the fact that the only time when you are allowed to pass something between chopsticks is when you are passing the bones of the deceased between chopsticks during a funeral. Also, 99% of Japanese people are cremated after they die. This is fiction, so of course anything can happen, but the odds are pretty high that she is gone for good based on what we were shown in the last episode. |

Episode 8:
Well that was kinda interesting. The show went a bit with music (as I am not surprised because of an interview I read prior to the show airing that stated the series will have such themes). As for the episode itself, I kinda like that Sala girl. She has a beautiful voice imo and seems to also have a fun personality. I find the transition of the episode from the previous two to be a bit odd though as this one was much more cherry. Yuu doesn't easily forget about Ayumi obviously as well. I also feel like he is becoming less arrogant since his initial introduction in this show. |

I wonder if Sala is the reincarnation of Iwasawa from Angel Beats.
You know, it just occured to me... This show hasn't had any fanservice, has it? |

This show amazes me every week. Such a great mix of themes and characters.
Watching Yuu try to repay Nao for last week was sweet. |

I prefer a personality like Nao to any set of panty shots. |

Not even the magazine scans are fanservicy. I'm not bothered by that, it's just that I bought a doujinshi today and Nao was drawn with fairly large breasts (doujinshi tend overexaggerate those). It then dawned on me that there is no official reference to how well endowed she's supposed to be.

So after spending some time with the OP, it looks to me like we could be heading into (speculative spoilers ahoy!) spoiler[Steins;Gate] territory with this. A lot of what looks like random gibberish thrown up at almost subliminal speed is actually some rather startling information. I've found these words and phrases so far: spoiler[teleport, blindness, collapse, telepathy, How Low Hello, the unknown particle, study vaccine, transmission, 75 (or 57?) years cycle (years and cycle might not both be related to the number), summon, Charlotte, and long period comet. Also an excerpt of an article that says, "...the phenomenon go away when skeptical(?) "vibrations" are present...research published by parapsychologists in the field. Dr. Beal(?) had cheated by altering some of the raw data." There's also a word or phrase that contains the letters rrige and p, d, or b and get rou. I can't tell if that's all part of one word, one phrase or two unrelated words, but I can't parse it out at all. There's also the letter combo mors, but I don't know what I'm missing there either.] And none of this even touches the Japanese that shows up, since even if I knew the characters, I couldn't begin to tell if they're backwards, sideways, upside down and/or reverse order as the English letters are.
Because of the accompanying diagrams and visuals, it appears that we'll soon be seeing spoiler["summon," "transmission" and "telepathy" powers (we haven't had telepathy yet, have we?).] At any rate, it would appear that this ride is just getting started.

Episode 8
Miyuki Sawashiro! Well Sala looked interesting from first appearance only, but then everything else, Miyuki Sawashiro always gets some of the best characters. A fun little fact, Miyuki Sawashiro also voiced Iwasawa from Angel Beats. I might be a bit of a big fan of her, but it feels like she really can bring energy into the characters she voices. Was I mistaken, or did one of the guys sound like Tomokazu Sugita? I got the distinct impression that Nao was doing the showing of the music video and tickets thing largely to try and further comfort Yuu. It was rather odd that Nao herself is kind of avoids people helping her, or maybe getting her hopes up. I am wondering where it might lead. |

You weren't. The guy at the store was Sugita. |

Episode 8:
1) painkillers do not regularly expire/end/wear in hospitals; doctor make appropriate assignments and drugs get administered accordingly; 2) insane people usually administered/fed with antianxiety/sedative drugs, not painkillers; so they never behave like raving lunatics in hospitals. Somtimes there is opposite issue: patients are so sedated that they are in nearly vegetable state; 3) patients who tend to damage hospital property like pillows get things that they can not tear down; 4) even where "usual" pillows are used, they are not stuffed with feathers anyway for years already; pillows are not stuffed with anything at all, they are whole material; 5) professionals that treat mental illnesses in hospitals learn about their patients, so they would have already tried to make this insane lad to listen to his favoured band. A capella singing by the lass from this band would not make much difference to a person whose mind is so clouded, confused, cycled/hung into internal illusions to the degree that he has ceased to communicate with real world. So this naive scene of miraculous awakening is not convincing -- treating insanity is much more complex than that; 6) as I wrote before, this anime's occasional turn from silly buffoonish show to overly dramatic/tragic does not fit the project at all.

I thought the implication was that she had some kind of, as yet undiagnosed, power, and that was how she was able to heal him and 'read Yuu's mind' earlier in the episode... |

"Reading" lad's mind seemed to be perceptiveness of other people's mood; some blind people do that, they are more intuitive than usual due to their brain sometimes get adjusted to analyse sounds and voices much better. Besides, this lass has years-long history of being performer, so she can not be teenager; hence she can not have "power" by definition of this anime. |
