It was good on a relative scale. There's no clear evidence that this anime won't just be in "backstory-of-the-week" format, with a character accepting their own death each week. While making the ensemble collectively dead is original, it sure doesn't leave many places for the plot to go. :roll:

Though, the concert was pretty incredible on the execution scale. I wonder what the new vocalist is going to sound like...(presuming we have these concerts each episode)

Yes, episode 3 was epic win. I most certainly have taken a liking to this series. It started off feeling like a Haruhi ripoff, but Yuri is the character Haruhi should have been. The music is GOOD. Can't wait for these tracks to become available. Also, speculation but...
Spoiler :
Angel is a regular person like them, who they are using as a misunderstood scapegoat. Her role is to cause them directly or indirectly to move on. (we pretty much get this in ep 3)

Watch the ED in reverse. You have the order that everyone moves on in right there. Yurippe becomes the new Angel.

key/visual arts has nothing to do with this series. Jun, a writer for key, is writing the scenario for this, but thats it. And he is doing it for P.A works, Key as a studio is not involved.

that said, I'm expecting good things, seeing his work on Clannad and kanon in particular, but we'll see. so far its interestingly different, enough for me to keep following it,... for now. I do agree it seems to be going in the right direction so far.

And yes, take Haruhi, make her undying, and give her command of a brigade of undying highschoolers, and you get the female protagnist of this show. There are other simalarities among other characters, but she takes the cake :lol:

Episode 3: Ghibli mentions, much? xD;

Episode 3 was alright. Some of my friends were aying, 'Oh god, you're just going to break down and cry after you watch episode 3!' Now, it was sad, but not exactly heart-wrenching. ._.;

This is an alright series so far.
Spoiler :
Its too bad that Girl De Mo lost its lead vocalist and guitarist, though. =(

04 was ok, nothing to rave about though.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

Can't decide whether to like Yui or not. On one hand, she's hilarious and dumb, on the other hand, she reminds me of everything I dislike about random obnoxious congoing fangirls D: Regarding her and Hinata

I like her. And plus.......her tail is kinda cool. It reminds me of Medusa's vector arrows from soul eater.
