It’s been awhile since I’ve done a full post for SC!, so I thought I might as well post it even though it’s sooo late. Oh well, I guess we’re all used to that now. I was already working on it so I didn’t want to pitch it. But another new thing is that, I found higher quality online streams (although the subs are such a weird color for this episode)!~ The screencaps are bigger, so I’m still trying to experiment with the size as of right now.
Anyways, a pretty good episode for what we’ve gotten so far. I mean, we’re getting closer and closer to the plot now, so how can I not be pleased after what we’ve been through? xD Of course there are tons of anime original stuff, but we’re around the plot now, so I guess I’m sort of satisfied enough.
Thoughts
He comes back again!~ Even though I wasn’t that excited about having him a victim of some anime-original stuff, I was glad that they kept him IC, haha. And I thought it was a nice touch for him to see how most kids act enjoying themselves.
Ikuto! DL?! I just want to ask…WTH?!! But anyways, I have no idea why the heck he’s DL. 
Stop ruining Ikuto’s…identity…!
I think the thing that irritated me in this scene was everyone first thinking it’s a trap, then suddenly they didn’t. I’m okay with the results, but the transition made me a bit confused. Like they suddenly switched so casually, lol. Unnecessary side note #1.
Just one question…how many times does Satelight change the director’s face? He always looks different, lol. I guess they can’t draw old people well or something?
Oh, and the necessary GAR!!!~ at the director…GARRR!!!! :D
Lol at the scientists’ faces. I think they’re scared? If so, it’s pretty hilarious for them to be scared of little kids. But Amu, that’s like…the worst place to ask. xDD
Haha, I have no idea why, but it seems like this scientist seems to be on the similar page some of us are about Ikuto. I guess I’m trying to say, her facial expression seems to imply “Well…that’s not even Ikuto anymore…” or something. Just thought I’d spit that out really…
Haha, I loved this part. Rima is so IC. Probably my favorite thing about this episode, is that the characters are more IC than most episodes. But anyways, lol!! That’s our Rima!!
Aww! And such typical Suu as well, saying sorry for hurting someone, lol. So cute though! XDD
;_________; Nuuuu…Ikuto!! The hair changes everything! *O* Jk. But anyways, I wanted to TT^TT after seeing this. It’s just not Ikuto, it makes me want to go march right down to Easter and well…you know, beat them up for doing such terrible things. And look at his eyes, looks barely like him.
And now for a Yoru spam…because he deserves love right now…
TT^TT Poor Yoru…I felt so sorry for him in this episode I just wanted to cuddle him. >_< Being forgotten, kicked away, it’s all so sad. :’( Let’s all give our sympathy and cuddles for Yoru!
And I have to say…the moment we’ve been waiting for!! Maybe my favorite part of the episode because…we see some plot coming along quite nicely. Finally it is coming! Let’s just hope Satelight doesn’t do the we’ll-give-you-some-plot-then-more-fillers thing again. But other then that, very pleased!
Preview
I’m really excited that we’re getting onto plot, if I haven’t exaggerated that enough. Looks like we’ll be seeing the past between the Tsukiyomi siblings and Tadase’s family. And btw, OMFG cute chibis!!~ Obviously Utau’s the cutest in pigtails. XDD Tadase reminds me of a crayon. O___o But I’m kind of worried as well, it does look like the animation quality will drop for the episode. And I’m not happy about that because well, we got what we wanted and it might not be presented even well. But I guess I shouldn’t make assumptions. I’m only saying this because Ikuto looks nothing like this chibi Ikuto.
But again, will be looking forward for the episode! :D
DL? What the hell!?
Hey, I noticed that ryhmes. LOLWhat does DL even stand for? Is it just some random letters that Satelight put together just to make him sound “cool”, I don’t know.The director just looks different every time we see him. In that pic you put there, he looked a lot younger than when we first saw him. Satelight can’t draw old people.
RIMA-TAN! Rima’s moment of the episode.
That was just rich.
I was crushed when I heard
more of read the subtitlesIkuto saying that. It killed me. IKUTO~! Yoru deserved his spam of pictures.YAYz! We finally get to the main plot of the anime!
Let’s just hope that this episode isn’t followed by a bunch fillers again. I can’t wait for next week’s episode. Usually I don’t like the flashbacks, but since we’ve been off the plot for so long, I’ve gotten excited. Ikuto looks nothing like Ikuto, I know 
the hair’s all wrong.I totally LOLed at the part where you said Tadase reminds you of a crayon.Rin´s last blog ..Japanese Song of the Week: Innocent Starter

Hikaru! Cuteness! I really want to give him a hug. DL is a stupid name, but I heard somewhere that it stood for Death Rebel. Ikuto with glasses is hot though! For some reason, Nagihiko’s part made me laugh. Really hard. Rima’s made me laugh harder though because she is awesome like that. Suu was cute too. Gah! And so was Yoru. He deserves a hug. He deserves several hugs. He is such a good chara. This is so lame, but when Tadase saw Death Rebel walking away and he had his mini-flashback, I started crying. Especially when he yelled “Ikuto-niisan”. I’m going to end up crying in the next episode too. I just know it. ZOMG Chibi Utau, Ikuto, and Tadase are cute! Haha, yes, Utau is the cutest. lol Crayon Tadase. I’m not sure how you got that, but anyway. I’m just happy that they are getting back to the plot.
<—- I'm sorry, they look really cute.

Rin: Inorite?!
Lol, rhyming ftw!I’m not sure…probably. It would make sense.Yup, exactly what I was thinking. Yeah…he did look young, which was why I had to say he looks totally different.
Agreed!! That one line was awesome. :D
I know, huh? I just felt anime heartbroken. D’:
It looks like we will be quite satisfied for awhile with all of the seemingly on-plot episodes.
Yeah, that’s probably why I said that didn’t look like Ikuto, because of his hair and face.
Amutofan123: He is so cute, isn’t he! So do I~ x3 Oooh…that would totally make sense, since “L” could also be the “R” sound. Agreed~ If only he wasn’t in that trance though. Lol I laughed too at both of them. Yup, Yoru really does deserve so many hugs for being an awesome chara. Aww…it’s okay, that’s not lame. It was a touching moment. Haha yes, they are cute. I got it from how most kids are usually in “crayon” form. Tadase seemed to be the most “crayon-form-like” from the three. Nah it’s fine. ^^
