Oh my god, this episode was so eerie. It’s a credit to Taguchi Hiroko’s voice acting. She goes from slightly worried to angry to upset to desperate. I admit I had a really hard time watching this, it was honestly pretty unsettling, but I think that’s the best part of it. She really manages to convey that feeling of being terrified to the viewer.

@issa-sa: Miyako x Hirono FTW

@lolikitsune: Fuck you.

@otou-san: LOL THANKS FOR CATCHING THAT. I didn’t even notice… writing posts at 2AM isn’t really my thing.

SHAFT is often very visually oriented, and even though he didn’t actually direct ef, Akiyuki Shinbo is a big influence on the style. Check out Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, Pani Poni Dash! (probably the polar opposite of ef in every other possible way), and the first Nanoha, which I believe you’re already watching.

Even though it wasn’t produced by SHAFT, you can see his artsy spooge all over it, it was probably the one thing I really enjoyed of the first Nanoha.

And btw — your post title says “melodies” even though you’re talking “memories” here. Coincidentally, ef-melo #7 was also shocking and used similar techniques. Interesting………..

Ironically, Kei deleting the messages was probably the thing that brought on her loss, had she not done that, Hirono might have seen Miyako’s moment of weakness as something to be afraid of… Sure, with the power of fiction and happy endings it wouldn’t have mattered in the end and may in fact lead to a stronger character relationship, but just saying.

I AM glad that Miyako got together with Hirono (or more importantly, didn’t get left alone as she feared) in the end, though it does make me wonder if Kei wasn’t the sportswoman that she was if Hirono would have been man enough to care for someone who would send him 100 messages over a missed appointment…
