The episode meant so much for the rest of the series and was engrossing itself. Powerful scenes filled with emotion like Amamiya’s death and... | | |
| 12:00am | ef - a tale of melodies - 09 | | | | Himura goes to confront Amamiya in order to find where Yuuko has gone. Impressions: IMPORTANT THEORY: Now, the end of this episode was another huge thing. My first major thought was “How in God’s name does Mizuki know Yuuko!?!” I could see no reason why, but then I remembered the promo trailer... | | |

Impressions: I thought it was interesting the way Himura’s story went. I was surprised with how good of an idea running away was. Although not perfect, it was something. However part of me just knew it couldn’t... | | |

| 11:08pm | ef - a tale of melodies - Episode 10 | | | | Just as I manage to reach a point where I'd finally dropped my labelling of ef - a tale of melodies artistic merits as pretentious, so it goes and gets me wondering whether it is a little pretentious after all by airing an episode that is almost entirely shot in black and white. You can argue the artistic... | | |

| 3:39pm | ef - a tale of melodies. - 10 |  | | | Totally kawaii lolis. Summary: While knitting in the church, Yuuko is met by who seems to be a young Mizuki.

| 10:05am | ef - a tale of melodies 10 |  | | | I kinda skipped posting about ef-melodies due to the sheer emo-ness and stupidity of the story after episode 07. Also the fact the male characters were either asses or idiots didn’t really help the case either. So thank god that we’re finally out of that phase (hurr hurr) and in to something... | | |

| 4:54am | As the End Nears: The Surprising Quality of Toradora |  | | | For me, this formulaic-and-yet-better comedy has been the surprise of the season: a surprise at how much genre conventions need not get too much in the way of some real character moments and clever writing. There’s no doubt that Toradora! uses all the standard character archetypes that you find... | | |

Too unwilling to live, and yet too afraid to die, the character who has by this time been popularly nicknamed... | | |
| 5:30am | Ef a tale of melodies 9 | | | | Build up, build up, and more build up, that’s what this is I’m waiting to see what everyone’s reactions are, and they will be good.
