which brings me to a question… is Shiori or Kaori the one who needs Yuichi’s protection? Shiori looks like she accepts her fate without regret, while Kaori is desperte to separte herself from tragic reality…

I haven’t seen the games or any of the previous animes, so I’m very anxious to see that boxcutter thing. That sounds as interesting as how I felt during Mai’s arc when they found Sayuri murdered in the restroom.

That was Awesome.

Ok, not awesome as in “oh sweet, murder” but because it got me all hyped up about Mai’s reaction, and it was more than I had hoped for it to be. It was so satisfying to watch.

So now we come to Shiori, whos gonna die, so once again I’m just waiting to see the Kaori based secondary explosions brought on by Shiori’s death.

Its gonna be Awesome.

anyway, it’s moving to see Yuichi despairing about how ce could be fighting for Mai and trying to hel Makoto, but is helpless against Shiori’s sickness… It’s about first time we see him so down… Even “Uguu girl” notices that…

Yup, the reason why everyone is going *poofdead*, *suicidegrr*, and *magicdisease-o-doom* is because they’re all from Hinamizawa. xDDD Not only is this season two of Haruhi, it’s also season two of Higurashi. lol

Yeah, I DO want to know what the hell kinda disease Shiori has. >_> Stupid anonymous disease thing.

What ‘magic disease’?
It’s the Hinamizawa Syndrome which makes perfectly sane individuals go emo crazy and…okay, nevermind…I think I’ve just said too much.

Maybe the box cutter will be replaced with an oversized hachet…good times.

Stop stressing, the knife will come. Like I wrote in your blog last week, Toei really rushed the Shiori arc - the knife scene is part of the big climax, which we simply haven’t worked up to yet. It’d not only be incongruous to include it at this stage of the story, it’d wreck the whole composition of the arc. The point to the scene in the game was that it served as such a stark contrast to Shiori’s cheerful demeanour and her seeming acceptance of her fate during her interactions with Yuuichi. The knife scene’s purpose was not merely to demonstrate the importance of Yuuichi in Shiori’s life (his exchange with Ayu stopped her from killing herself), but also to underscore the incongruity between her public pose and her inner trauma. The scene occurs late in Shiori’s story specifically because it is calculated to shock - it is at total odds with everything the player believes he or she knows about Shiori up until that point.

So yeah, just be patient - the scene will come. It really _needs_ this sort of build up in order to work as was originally intended.
