Please don't be the same with Amagami.
I mean the arcs; where only the first arc (both Haruka lol) was the enjoyable part.

The arc really went well though, too good to be true I guess.

They are dong Amagami style arcs I guess. Indicates lazy writing, but at least it prevents the unresolved vague ending which is the worst way of finishing a series in my book.

I really, really want to see the one with the student council president. I wonder how their relationship based on blackmail can prosper.

What the hell. I thought I missed an episode when I watched the first minutes of this episode but I was wrong. This is too ridiculous.

They fought hard and did not really make up last episode. Last episode ended with some shit forced drama and now they suddenly met up, be lovey dovey, go to date, let him touch her boobies and then the confession. What the fuck?

I mean, i know that this series is weird from the start but that was just dumb. This is Madhouse. They should've known better than this right? RIGHT? Those who are in charge with this series should really get their shit together. Fuck plot, fuck story, fuck logic. All their care is to show some fanservice. Really destroying Madhouse's image.

Not even close to Amagami where each arcs have actually a story and a solid romance development.

Anyways, if we are talking about fanservice then I want the student council president arc.

Oh my god I was trying so hard not to kill myself during the whole episode. This was so incredibly lame, forced, generic and cliche that I was facepalming throughout the whole thing, fingers further digging into my skull as my anger grew. And it sure doesn't help that I hate Haruka's archetype the most.
The bad moments were hilarious before but now this is just getting annoying. If the next episode/arc isn't more interesting/entertaining I'm dropping this.

Nothing in this show makes any sense, and I can't get enough of it. Best part besides the 'instant make up opening scene' was Uuchida's stealth skills somehow allowing her to literally appear out of thin air. XD

Maeda, if a girl tells you to touch her, don't just stand there with your mouth wide open man she's giving you the chance to GO IN AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN XD

If a girl seriously let me touch her breast, I would go for it without a second thought. Seriously, he should've grope her more and play with those puppies.

Finally, Haruka's arc ended with all that force drama last episode, I knew it wasn't worth watching it throughly. I just skim most of the parts so I can be done with it. So it's thing it's following Amagami style arc so we can get to see the other girls.

I'm looking forward to the other girls especially Nonoka.

3/5. I'm glad that her arc is over. Not saying I dislike her or anything.

So I'm guesing each girl will have a arc then we have either a open air ending, harem ending or one of the girls will be picked :-/ okay as far as eps go however.

Hoping I'm wrong and the other arcs are just non-romantic story arcs, sorta like Kanon and Nisen/Bake.

Good Episode!!!

They changed the direction of the series slightly as I expected and Haruka and Maeda-kun confess their feelings together. There were a lot of things that happened as:



I'm surprised how they did all of this for one episode and for once that only one girl is concentrated in this episode with the rest of the girls for the first time having no dialogue and just cameo (except for Kanon and Uchida) so it was a pretty nice change.

I wonder how the story goes from here as there are still 6 episodes but since the confession is done then it suggests that the series will focus on Haruka as the main heroine which wouldn't be much of a surprise. I'm looking forward to how the story progresses in the next episode!!

5/5

If this series turns into an omnibus, you cant compare it with amagami.
Rather , it's comparable to Yosuga no Sora. First 4 episode is a part of every girls arc which is I guess 2 ep. each girl.. and the Remaining Girls will be in ONA/OVA.

Well, instead of some dying, Yosuga no sora like episode is not bad..

I have not figured out yet what is the way he wants intarprendere the anime, if a harem or a romantic story! The final me think of a discussion type Amagami, I would rather differently! The drawings, however, are not at the level of Amagami SS!

I was thinking the same thing.


I haven't seen Amagami but I'm familiar with what it is about. I guess this is good because I want to see more endings. Though i have never seen a anime using this style so it might feel weird since he already chose a girl. Also I wonder how many times this will happen as I'm not sure if their is time for more than the next one due to the fact that the first "arc" took six episodes.

Not bad

This episode was a little sappy, but it was alright. It was so weird though; how could you not call that dating? Haruka was so honest from the start, yet Kazuya kept denying it until the end where he finally confessed.

And in the flashback there was, of course, the typical childhood marriage promise.

Next week: new episode, new girl: Hikari. Really looking forward to Nonoka's (baseball chick) arc most of all.

If this is going to be like Amagami, then these arcs took a long time to start. We're already halfway through and only gotten through one. I'm anticipating this next arc though.

I kinda wanted more of Haruka so im sad that it ended this week cause shes my favourite female. Nonetheless her arc was done quite well but there were some parts which felt weird to me.

The photos of her were really beautiful <3

So the shows doing the omnibus arc thingy but unless they solve every one of the remaining female's arc in 1 episode, i dont see how they are gonna end the series with 12 considering it took 6 episode for them to end Haruka's one. Although i know the earlier episodes were used to set the foundation of the series.

yeah you're probably right.
but the question is this,
the anime only have 12 episodes and on Niimi Haruka's Arc almost ate 6 episodes.
SO in that case the next heroine will only have 1 or 2 episodes each.

correct me if i'm wrong.

Let's just take the first 4 episodes as build-up and the later one's as character arcs. (Kinda simlar to Yosuga no Sora). They are not gonna animate all the routes unless they make it like 24+ episodes.

That was twenty minutes of drivel. I couldn't believe those flashbacks after the confessions. This show already had too many flashbacks but this got really silly. The show had set up all kinds of opportunity for a tense, interesting story… with the different girls and the two photo clubs. Then it delivers this pre-ordained swill.

Hmm I usually love these kind of romance cheese, but this time I just hoped it would end already. Maybe because Im head over heels for student council president :D

if this setup is the same as Amagami they'll have to make a second season with the amount of girls and only getting just 1 arc finished with 6 to go, its not possible to go over the rest of them lol.

Haha, are you bored?

I never actually considered this a romance before, until this episode, so it was different. I thought of it more as school and casual stuff, I didn't expect it to focus on Haruka and him.

Well I wonder where a conflict will come, then. It was a good episode, but he pretty much had a straight path, as in she was pretty much waiting for him to realize his and her feelings.

I like the comments I read in Japanese forums, that it is just like a VN but instead we have Haruka as the protagonist and her task is to get the guy to fall in love with her X-D
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

The end? So they are making all routes with no regard to previous story? So each route is standalone and could be place after episode 4? I really don't know if that's the best approach but I guess at least we get to see all heroines then.

I just wonder how this show is gonna end and what heroine would be the last.
