Oh I loved the setting of the beach scene.

A boy and girl stand on a seawall, overlooking the ocean, a beautiful blue sky above. Where do I know that from? ^_^

I must say, the one thing I didn't like about this episode was Midori's dialogue at the 'reveal'. Something about it just really didn't click with me and I think it could have been written a bit better. One thing I dislike about Key (Oh no, I'm criticising my favourite company!) is that they tend to reuse a lot of plot devices, such as everyone forgetting Mio.

Currently I'm in this amazing routine where I limit myself to 2 episodes a day (so that the whole series is subbed by the time I get to the last episode), at around 4 o'clock. I make a cappuccino, get comfy and enjoy it. I find that if you limit yourself so that you have something to look forward to, it's a much more satisfying experience than just marathoning the whole series. Though there is no way I could limit myself to one episode per week, which is why I will never follow currently airing series unless they're very close to being finished, just like Little Busters.

Also, I really hope they don't change the OP and ED, I'm really enjoying them T_T


Mmm yeah Mio's store shares some similarities with Fuko's arc in Clannad. But the purpose of Mio's arc isn't the disappearance. You'll find out most of the purpose when her arc is finished, but understand it better come Refrain.
The OP and ED don't change btw, enjoy.

Well the ED does change for the arc ends, although one of them is still Alicemagic, just not the anime version.

A bit of supernatural thrown in the story, this is quite amazing actually, she really did not have a shadow O_O! Quite impressive attribute to the character, makes me see the whole anime differently! And who's that second Mio or Midori a twin herself but different? Really weird questions are popping up! Quite some awesome development, I wonder if the anime will proceed in more detail with this character!

My guess about Mio (her having a personality disorder) was further from the truth then I expected, oh well :D
Though my guess about her shadow was spot on.

Midori is creepy, but a nice character so far.

I'm having a bit of a Fuko vibe here as well :)

I found it a bit strange for them to suddenly include a supernatural plot into what started off as a slice of life. Should of known though after watching Clannad. I don't mind this but it just felt out of place somehow. If a giant robot turns up though I'm quitting it! lol

Waaaaaaait. So Midori is Mio shadow? But then why does she have no shadow too? Does that mean that she is kind of assimilating Mio, but hasn't finished yet? I'm so damn confuse, why could people see Midori in town, for exemple? Wasn't she a shadow? This look more like a pact with a demon! :O

Anyway, it look like she suffer the (Clannad spoiler)


Riki sure had a bad timing this time for his narcolepsy.

She doesn't have her own shadow... Why's that? Maybe she is a ghost or not? I don't know, but is quite sad everyone had forgot Mio Noshimono... :( This is an unhappy episode.

The Fuuko arc of Little Busters I guess. Kinda feels like a typical Key storyline. Anyways what a fucking bitch Midori is. But I suppose she'll redeem herself at the end of this arc anyways.

Good episode anyways, and an interesting story.

Yeah, this reminds me of Fuko's Arc in Clannad. It's a bit similar. So that's why Mio had a parasoul. She had it to hide her shadow that she doesn't have. So I guess Midori is her other split personality? Getting interesting. I don't like Midori. Give me back Mio!

I am not really a fan of supernatural thing, I think the first 12 episodes is already good enough without it.. But yeah, Clannad did good with it.. And at least this is still a far better story than Bunny Girl Senpai ...

So everyone's forgotten about Nishizono-san that seems pretty interesting since it was just recently

There she is the other Nishizono well they basically are two people with different names Mio being the first one Riki knew and Midori the one that recently just got here, That explains the parasol Mio carries every time because she doesn't have a shadow that's quite a peculiar event to happen

So everyone just accepted the fact that Midori replaced Mio's existence and Riki doesn't accept it and Midori doesn't have a shadow either, This event just got complicated I wonder how it goes from here.

Wow things are more and more interesting, So Mio has a kind of "twin sister" called Midori and they both have no shadow at all, now Mio vanished and has been replaced by Midori and everyone forgot her and they all think it's normal except for Riki, I wonder who they really are and why they had to do that, I also wonder why Riki is more linked to her than the other ones... that's kinda tense.
