I'd go more towards bittersweet, if only because the cast is just too lovable and a Downer Ending would be incredibly depressing.

Also, it seems that the ending would pretty much require that everyone (or at least Otonashi/Kandade/Yuri, since they're the main characters) get over their problems and be erased. This would probably end up as a Bittersweet Ending.

Either that or everyone just continues doing what they're doing and nothing really happens, which would be fairly lame.

We still barely have a plot, so I'm not sure there's any real point in speculating about an ending.

I guess it is.

True. But it does have to end within six episodes, unless they're planning on another season. So... I dunno.

Look at Durarara. Expected to be at least 25 episodes, and with the sales, a second season isn't impossible.

I finished catching up to this - literally just watched episode 7 - and I'm really impressed. Otonashi's story was interesting. I also love me some Ange — er, Kanade.

She is being slowly approached from behind in my 'favourite character' race with Naoi, though. Naoi is a thing. Also, he has a Nice Hat.

The cult grows.

Yup, Kanade is winning a lot of love.

Everyone loves Kanade... and Jun Maeda loves his Ill Girls; hell, Hatsune Otonashi is voiced by Mai Nakahara, who also voiced Nagisa Furukawa.

She also looks a lot like a young Nagisa, too, i noticed.

And how could you not love Kanade, anyway? She's cute as a box of kittens, interesting, badass in a knife fight, and and puny.

So, who do you want to see the backstory of? Even if they do one in every episode left, they aren't going to be able to get to everyone. I think just about everyone wants to see Kanade's, but is there anyone else?

I guess it is.

Shiina and Yui. I am curious to see what kind of people they were in life.

Definitely wanna learn about Shiina's backstory, and possibly Noda's. But I hope they don't go into detail about TK's unless it's extremely plot relevant. His mystery is a huge part of his appeal for me.

Not that I know of. At the very least, it's not available on Animeseason yet.

^^No, not yet.

I kind of feel like the only ones with enough focus for us to get a backstory out of them are Yui and Kanade. Maybe Noda too.

^^^ For future reference, it airs at 2:00 A.M. (JST, so that's GMT +9 hours) on Saturday mornings. Meaning subs won't be available until, well, sometime after that.

@Gilphon: Well, Iwasawa didn't get much focus before her episode.

(Speaking of which, I feel like we're due for another disappearance sometime soon.)

I guess it is.

Actually I'm torn. A tragic backstory would feel kind of out of place for him. But its TK so there's so much potential for Crazy Awesome you want it anyway.

wild mass guessTK's backstory isn't tragic and he has no unresolved issues as such. Instead he died doing something utterly insane (but completely awesome) and is hanging around because he's decided that he's not done with life yet.

TK gets even more awesome lines in this episode. Yui is adorable. Yuri is a badass, and Naoi is gayer than ever. Overall, a really good episode.

I liked how the information gathering scene consisted solely of TK being weird.

I also like how TK's definition of 'subtly acting out' is sitting at his desk doing the wave.

Odd, I didn't think GET CHANCE AND LUCK would ever make another appearance.

Here's to you, TK. I tip my electronic hat to thee.
