Now, with that being said, those two better hook up soon.
They better do! I ship them so bad...

It's a weird commentary on how the writer or producer feels about drug abuse don't you think? If I were allowed to read into it even a little, I almost seems like people who do drugs are beyond salvation even though they clearly draw a line between mental instability and drug escapism but to have the voice of the show overlook all the other acts of instability and only make drugs the point of no return is interesting. It's probably a little more complex than that but I appreciate that they tried to explore it.

Could be a cultural thing. Drug abuse is a massive deal in Japan compared to the west it seems. Pot will get you 4 years.
can we talk about how we got Mai Nakahara to come back for one episode? no? ok.

Still waiting for her to return

I was expecting Yuu to tell her that he did not save her at all - but instead that he almost made her die in purpose.
By the way, I really liked the way Shirayanagi reacted to the altered, mentally unstable Yuu. Even though he was suffering (a lot) for his sister's death, she could see clearly how he could really be when altered.
I hope we get to see her one more time before the series ends.
Heh, that's the Yuu I loved in the first episode, glad we got to see some more of it.
Hey, are you the same Co1onel on Deviantart? I think I stumbled upon that when looking for Monogatari pictures.
Episode 7 was a fantastic follow up to episode 6. Really glad I got into this anime.
That would kind of make this episode completely pointless, but not like it hasn't happened before.

Honestly, I would've liked to see him go full villain instead of the silly turn around. I liked the gradual build up to it. The realization that I have power.
I mean the chick didn't stop him when he was impaling fools with tooth picks and beating other people's heads in. But a little drugs is over the line?
Where were Yuu's parents during all this??
Yuu's character seems too flimsy to me. He started out in the first episode already aware of his power and what he could use it for, and he did just that. He was presented as a character who wasn't afraid to take advantage of people and his power in order to get what he wants. Then Nao comes along and kicks him a couple times and he turns into the most boring character of the show who had no impact on the way the events played out. Then imouto dies, and suddenly he's back to using his powers to get whatever he wants, until of course Nao comes along and kicks him a couple times. Yuu is actually entertaining to watch in the 1st and 7th episodes, and he's the main subject of those episodes. It just feels weird how he turns into this apathetic character who just kinda sits by and watches. It's cool if they want Yuu to come to a realization that he can't use his powers for whatever he wants, but they kinda changed his entire personality in an instant instead, and twice for that matter. Guess we should wait for the next episode though to see what he's like now though.
I also thought it was really weird that Nao suddenly decides drugs were too much, yet him stabbing other people wasn't.
Don't worry guys, she's probably in the world of angel beats right now hanging out with Otonashi.
Also, from earlier posts, drugs are a huge nono in Japan, but also I think she was stopping him from the coke because if he dod, he literally could lose control of himself and his powers, which would almost mean certain death for himself and many others.
He gets reality checked both times by Nao. She proves to him that he isn't unbeatable. She could kill him at any time if she really wanted/had to.

I didn't even notice this when I watched the episode. Street fighter and angel beats reference in one
(1) It's not about Yuu, it's about Nao's morals. She didn't care about him stabbing other people enough to do something about it, but she did care when he was going to injure his own body.
(2) I'm not convinced. It doesn't feel natural and it's too sudden. And even if he comes to the realization that he's not unbeatable, he shouldn't change so drastically in an instant.

all he has to do is take control of another person in the area to see her. She's only unbeatable when you are alone with her
and as somebody said, her moral compass is messed up. He was stabbing people like hotcakes and taking on mobs of people
Also this ep brings into question the whole premise of the show. Why are children tasked with life and death situations. On 1 hand I'm supposed to not think the show is silly, but then we have an easily avoidable situation with ayu mismanaged by dumb kids. Like collapse sounds like an extremely serious power and even if she was sick, she should've been quarantined
The hot pink haired girl? No, never seen her before.Charlotte episode 8 preview
Speaking about SF references...
Anyhow,a new character and a happy atmosphere, weird, maybe it's Charlotte, maybe it's not even a girl. Did we see this person already?
Charlotte PV3(yeah just released today)

Well, looks like she will be involved with feathers - just like that mysterious girl from the Opening.
It's Key, so my guess is that they'll use Shirayanagi one more time in the series in a big way. She was featured in the first episode after all, and it's not like them to throw away one of the first characters they introduced just as a simplistic plot device like that....
She may appear in a cameo appearance again. I was confused as to why she was the one to show up in this apt during that scene. How did she even find out about lil' sis?
Probably some behind the scene works of Nao.
---------
As for Feathers, maybe something related to a Phoenix would be a nice guess, kinda works with the whole "reviving" thing that the secret girl is probably going to be involved in.
Yusarin also fits this a bit but that would be a huge stretch.
Who knows why it was her, but maybe Nao did know her. Sounds like the landlord/school let her in the door even though she doesn't go to that school.
Good idea with the Phoenix idea. Maybe that is who Charlotte is? A lot of info needed in the final 5 episodes.
Yah, we are still missing a lot of information from the series but I'm still pretty confident that it won't go the way of Angel Beats! where it was "rush rush rush WTF JUST HAPPENED T____T."
And please, develop Yuu x Nao. DON'T RUSH IT!
This is what I'm talking about. They waited until the last 5 mins of the final episode to reveal the Angel relationship. It should have happened several episodes earlier. I still loved Angel Beats though, lol.
Also, what was up with the Yusarin video? It felt like it was only there to take up time, since nothing at all came out of it other than the generic fanboy reaction from that other guy whose name I can't even remember.
Now, is regard to the whole Nao x Yuu thing, goodness, can you imagine how great Angel Beats could have been if they added this type of relationship development in for Otonashi and Kanade.
