I'm specifically talking about the photo taking mini games being in the anime, not the premise of the story in case that wasn't clear. I mean they don't usually include the mundane "relationship building" stuff in other VN anime adaptations do they? |
singleturbo said: Perhaps the idea is to show to the audience how it is like in the game because at the end that is the main point for the game and if the anime is to introduce the game to people perhaps it is best to show them the main attraction in the game, which is taking photos of the girls.I'm specifically talking about the photo taking mini games being in the anime, not the premise of the story in case that wasn't clear. |

| A lot of fixed images. The rest is animated in a very bad way...so... |

That makes for a nice commercial and I'd probably be pretty happy if I was on the game's marketing team. Too bad they couldn't have tossed a control/menu tutorial in there though. |
| I felt this episode was really lackluster the last one was much enjoyable. Mai was cute though XD |
| That is one little cute girlfriend he got there. But I found this episode to be long and boring. |
| mai arc hmm.. well I can say she is cute :3 I were kinda suprised if mai just want maeda to eat katsudon -_- I think she want to give maeda something like "ero hon" lol XD btw nice maeda your supporting make mai dont give up.. :3 in the end they are hugging :/ I just dont understand the romance thats all :/ |

Which one is he dating with?! it's just so confusing that it gives me headache and makes me hate the anime -.- yeah I know that feel bro.. you know its quite annoyed when seeing maeda dating different girl in every episode -_- #just hope it doesn't end like school days -_- |
| What's up with those 4 girls in that scene? They want attention and get nothing?   I must be bored to find this episode to be quite okay. |
| Why couldn't she just eat a mouthful of the rice or the dessert and let him finish the rest? I would say this is a better way to recall the taste than having him describe the taste LOL FlamingYu said: Beats me too. Thing is the animators actually needed to do more work to add those 4 girls so I would expect they were put there for some purpose. But it turns out they are absolutely not needed for the scene!What's up with those 4 girls in that scene? They want attention and get nothing? |

sirwence said: At this point.. when one compares the format style of Amagami .. its just so much better (even if they didnt go for the true endings in each route ~.~) but this route style I just dont like it.. they could have easily gone 25 episodes and this would be a much better series for it. There is a serious lack of effort put in this show so i doubt anyone had the appetite to make 25 episodes of it. From animation, artwork to scriptwriting everything is on the cheap. Basically if you want to see a good multi-route anime you are better off with Amagami, end of story. |
Monad said: While I agree that scriptwriting Amagami is better, in terms of artwork I somehow prefer PhotoKano's more. Animation-wise I also don't think Amagami is necessarily better. And if it has to come down to just one series I can buy, my inclination is to buy this one, if it is just for the artwork and how various scenes are presented, as much as I love Amagami.From animation, artwork to scriptwriting everything is on the cheap.

I don't know if you like the style of artwork better(strange cause they ain't massively different) in this but in terms of quality and worked put there is a huge difference. This show has some really crazy panels because of cheap fast work. |

Monad said: No I am dead serious. If you cannot tell the difference of the art style, of course you can't distinguish the two works. Many people can (including me) and some prefer Amagami and some prefer PhotoKano. But the fact remains they can be told apart. And yes, there are crazy panels but I don't think all of them are quality control issues, much less "cheap fast work". Also note that I never said Amagami has worse artwork or animation than Photokano - What I am saying is that even if Amagami may edge PhotoKano in certain technical aspects, in terms of raw appeal I find myself still more attracted to PhotoKano, and that is from a person who thinks few heroines can beat Ayatsuji in character appeal.

This show has some really crazy panels because of cheap fast work. Damn why do i even bother. I said there isn't a "massive" i didn't say they are exactly the same, i see the difference just fine. Anyway the style is a personal choice and has nothing to do with the point i made about Photokano being made on the cheap so why did you quote me in the firs place? |
| This show really does feel cheap and low(er) quality. The still "photos" I mentioned before are a clear indication of filler. Still frames aside, the anime is still mostly focused on animating just one girl the episode is focused on and it makes for a dull world. The anime also rushes through each girl's storyline so it can fit in one episode. There are redeeming qualities to this, but I believe most of the credit for that should go to the game designers from which this is adapted from. |
Monad said: Because you said "From animation, artwork to scriptwriting everything is on the cheap." The thing is I do not see Photokano being made much cheaper than Amagami. The only thing I would agree in terms of "cheapness" is that Amagami has 2 cours while Photokano has only 1, that's it. There may be more stills in Photokano but Amagami does not score high on eye-catching animation either. And for artwork I definitely don't see Photokano on the cheap compared to Amagami. Damn why do i even bother. I said there isn't a "massive" i didn't say they are exactly the same, i see the difference just fine.

| Favorite episode of the show thus far |
| Kinda like how Maeda is getting blackmailed now instead of him blackmailing the student council president. :P An OK episode. Didn't like it as much as the last. |
 |
| It's pretty harmless and more than a little boring. Like a number of other folks, I'm largely watching now in the hope that we see an Uchida route. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

shcboomer said: Mai was really cute, that was about it for the episode. Same here... Thought, I lol at eating the arm part and the awkward scene between the two inside Maeda's room and Kanon suddenly bargin in. 3 more episodes to go. |
| I would take this route if I were him. dat developing loli!!! |
 |
| Alright episode, Mai is really cute, but compared to the other's, this episode was pretty boring |

Really love this anime. :3 Wordsmith said: Anna_Hiwatari said: I just don't understand anime like these!! what girl is he in love with?! Which one is he dating with?! it's just so confusing that it gives me headache and makes me hate the anime -.- AFter the "introduction arc", all other episodes build upon it but are standalone. SO, each episode right now is what would happen if he decides to chose that specific girl. Speaking in VN terms, each episode right now stands for the route of one girl. Not that hard to understand. Actually, I kinda like that format, because it means there is at least one episode for the right girl (who that is is different for every person). Format is good but I don't like how they directed this series... It actually is pretty hard to follow here. The difference between Amagami SS and PhotoKano is that: Amagami SS -> Route to one girl, then reset back to the beginning of common route PhotoKano -> Common Route for all girls in first half, then latter half is dedicated to the girl's dating/romance routes that start to split at the end of common route. Photokano makes it so much more confusing to new viewers since it doesn't reset... |
 |
| So moe. I eagerly await the imouto route. |
 |
| I'm not sure if you call that blackmailing lol.. Ushida though.. How the hell does she disappear like that? What a mysterious girl.. |
 |
| The beginning was really stupid imo XD Ushida is like a secret character or something lol |
 |
| Episode I find an extreme boredom, as well as having a quality of the drawings and animations really mediocre. Narrative that I appreciated only when they came into the scene the girl who belongs to the club as Maeda of photography. |

| I found this arc a little weaker and the loli girl less sexy than the others. But she's still passable. Ice skaters are cute |
