Interesting. Disappointing too, I guess. Was hoping for a Clannad like epic. They did alot with 13 eps and the original Kanon, but we're already 6 eps in and it's not Kanon caliber at this same marker. I guess what I want to say is ... FFFFFFFUUUUUU

So six episodes in and I love this show. However, something has been bothering me since they started giving out the details of the past lives. This might have been brought up already, but I haven't read all the previous posts.
(click to show/hide)Is anyone actually dead? I've gone back and watched those episodes again, but it does not say that the people in the show actually died. Unless its losing something in translation this is what I am seeing.
Haruhi's siblings were killed in front of her, but we're not told if the robbers killed her. And she points out suicides prevent you from entering this world.
Iwasawa has a stroke and loses the ability to sing. Since that was her "life", this would be the end of it.
Takamatsu gets drugs after the baseball game. However since this would be suicide if he died from an overdose he should not be in this world.
Ayato's reason to live died with his father.
In each case there is no clear cause of death. Even in Iwasawa's case which is the only one we know for sure the cause of her injury, waking up after the surgery to relieve brain swelling caused by a contusion is usually a good sign.
Its possible I am just reading too much into this, but it seems to fit to me at least.

(click to show/hide) I expected this to last a bit longer. I felt the "Ayato arch" would last for more than one episode. As for how Ayato died, did he kill himself?

Haha, someone believes the same conspiracy theories I do:

Well, maybe "believes" is a bit strong word, but still. Yeah, I had similar feelings, but have they since subsided a bit. Still, it would make sense. Also, some nitpicking - Yuri said herself she died later, Hinata supposedly got hit by a car(and even if he overdosed, no, drug overdose is NOT automatically a suicide, unless it's specifically intended as a means of killing oneself)
But no matter what it is, I expect a major twist, rather sooner then later - it's obvious that something needs to happen now, unless they were rushing this so much for no reason.

I'm pretty sure they all died. Consider the singer. She had a brain aneurysm, and lost the ability to talk. Why could she then talk? We know there is something supernatural about this place since she disappeared. Furthermore, the main character almost certainly was not carried in. He just appeared. My main argument against the "they aren't dead" theory is that someone was cured of something that should have left her incapable of singing.
If they are indeed alive they would have to go well out of their way to explain those things away. I've seen Kannon, Air (both), S1 Clannad, and some of S2 CLannad. This tale is suppose to be Key-esque. From what I can tell from other Key stories, they aren't going to pull some bullshit out of their asses. They are too high class for that.
[edit] I forgot to mention that they have that "I can't die because I'm already dead" thing going for them. They have regeneration 5 versus everything except fulfilling their dreams.
