Nope:

No melting faces this ep but instead we got "UGUU" eyes.
Also am i the only one kind of disappointed by this episode? I mean it was hinted since what 4 or 5 episodes ago and it was just very rushed.
This would have been a perfect two episodes story one with full despair and looking back into Chihaya's past and one about Haruka helping her. Instead we got like 3 minutes of:
"Chihaya your brother died and you didn't do anything" ";A;"
Then she locks herself in her room and all the suffering happens offscreen and the rest of the episode is a positive-ish Haruka episode with Chihaya singing at the end.
But I guess Azusa helping strangers or the twins playing food detectives is more important.
It was just too fast for how much it was hinted.

animagic4u:
Well personaly I thought it was a Haruka episode disguised as a Chihaya episode. That's just me.
So I guess I agree with you.

Crisu:
I enjoyed this episode a lot, but I couldn’t help but feel 22 minutes was too short for it.  It was a good move to forego the OP for 90 extra seconds, but I would have wanted maybe 5 more minutes of cushion to milk all the emotions further.  Let's re-release this episode again as a 45-minute OVA, okay? :D  ::false hope::

Budget seems to be an issue with almost every series lately.  Animation studios are short-staffed often, I think, and they're overworked for little pay as it is.  I do believe the plan all along was for Chihaya's singing part to be completely fluid, but it still suffered a bit from perhaps a lack of time to clean up the animation.  Earlier in the episode at 13:23 was an entire 17 seconds of nothing before Chihaya's doorbell finally rang, so that had to be filler (as there wasn't too much dramatic impact, IMO, for that length of time).

[ It's nice to see someone's chin move when he or she speaks; usually it's just a case of Cheeky Mouth. ]
