Looooool, Toru in that bunny outfit. Oh God.



I think compared to some of the other episodes of this arc, this one was had the most "fan service" and silly moments. Oh poor Toru, I bet she's not used to be in that position.
What a neck kiss~

A good ending to a nice arc.
I like Touru beter than Hibiki but Hibiki was nice as well.
Still the ending this time was a bit more surprising to watch.
Now i wonder what the next girl will be like.

In my opinion, first three episode of this arc were pretty nice, especially compared to whole Hibiki's arc. However, this episode was basically 15 minutes of fanservice, 5 minutes of romance and 20 seconds of decent afterstory. Overall, it wasn't really great episode to me. It seems that quality of art also dropped significantly (or may be it's just my imagination?). Anyway, I believe this arc could be ended much stronger.

well, finally some decent romance. (though adam's apple kiss was strange). fair confession, sweet kiss and great '10 years later' thing (seems like little girl on his arms is their child)

Apart from a proper romance ending this arc was weak in comparison with the last one. I really want to love this series but it keeps getting worse, I have hopes for the last arc as I tend to love osananajimi characters.

I'm fine with this episode, but what shock me the most is the job choice by Shoichi 10 years later. Literally out of nowhere and no hint about becoming a driver, a not bad choice at the same time if he wants to be with Tooru forever.

not sure if he is only a driver though. maybe it is some kind of private kindergarten where a single person has a lot of duties...

Remember the Bus driver simulator in the arcade? That's the only hint I can take.
But yeah... even with that hint, The bus driver thingy is... still felt suddenly out of nowhere though, as the story maker didn't give any emphasis about school this bus driver and teacher pairing could work.

He's a bus driver?! Way to aim high there Shouichi. I've got to say that his wife looked good as a pre-school/kindergarten teacher. Also, a better ending than the first arc, but I've got to admit that the romance in this series so far feels severely limited.

I wonder if they're saving it for the VN...

Nice ending for a Miyamae-senpai's arc, glad they got married and had a kid. The Adam's apple kiss sealed his confession 😭👍 This was definitely my fav arc just cause of Miyamae-Senpai being a gamer.

As an episode it was good, as a conclusion to the arc it was decent.

Tooru in the bunny outfit was absolute win. <3
Them lewd poses and moments this episode were also full of win. <3

Ooooh, An Adam's Apple kiss, now there's something you don't see everyday. xD
The final kiss between Shouichi and Tooru under the moonlight was sweet.

The misunderstood deer mating scene was gold and the timeskip with their daughter was great. :)
Childhood friend arc next. :D

The show is good in it's own right but it's nowhere near as strong as Amagami, especially in the romance section.

While I think this is a much better ending than Hikari's arc, the romance in this series doesn't seem very strong at all. They crammed in all into the last 5 minutes.

Kyouko's arc is next, can't wait. I'd be fine without another timeskip though. Or maybe one that's 5 years and she's trying on a wedding dress? I wouldn't mind that...

The problem with this anime though, is the inconsistency. And it's not just about the romance. Take the other characters for instance. In Amagami, the other girls and Miya (Juinchi's sister) especially, were constant presences in every arc. Sometimes their roles were extremely minor but you still got the sense that they exist and their characters were consistent in terms of personality. Tsukasa is probably the exception, but
Prime example of this flaw in Seiren: the brown-haired girl from the elite school. So far it looks as though she is thrown into the setting just so she makes an appearance in each arc. Other than that, we know absolutely nothing about her.

Also, in Seiren, from what we have so far, it looks as though they might be changing the girls' (and Shoichi's) personalities to fit the story (or omit them entirely as in the case of Tooru in Hikari's arc). It's just bad writing.

This is the best arc so far. Tooru looks cute in the bunny outfit. The Adam's Apple kiss and the kiss after that was nice. I don't like timeskips, but they have a good relationship. He's a bus driver, she's a teacher, and they have a daughter. Let's see how the next arc goes.

Nice ending to the arc, definitely much better and much more like Amagami than the first one was. Even got a proper epilogue scene rather than the one we got from Tsuneki's arc. Now we move onto the final arc next week, and I'll be interested to see if the show can end on a high with that.

Also, as an aside, even though I get the impression this hasn't been popular, I wonder if a second season is planned for the other three main heroines from this key visual. It would certainly make sense, otherwise these additional appearances of those other characters (such as the red-haired girl in this episode) would kinda seem a bit pointless.

At last !
The ending of the previous Amagami season thr-- I mean Seiren arc really pissed me off .
But at least this one has a little bit of their future shown....I really wanted to see them dating though , just like some of arcs in Amagami .

P.S : Why a bus driver ? xD
And also...why did she end up being a teacher ...she had so much capability , sad :')

The conclusion didn't seem a whole lot better than Hikari's arc, but still I shout "injustice!"
Sad that there wasn't this sort of after story for Hikari, we got epilogues for both arcs but Tooru's seemed much more satisfying and romantic. As a whole though, I still like Hikari's character more, and apart from most of this ep Tooru seems to have gotten better treatment.
Hikari was still really fun to watch this ep, she's still best girl, who was treated poorly unfortunately.

Next arc begins next week, can't wait to see otome #3.

Better than Tsuneki ending to say the least, not that that's much of an accomplishment since that ending was trash.

This arc was more enjoyable than the last one, but was still pretty subpar for the most part.

Childhood friend must save this show.

For what it's worth, though, I liked the timeskip this time around.

I have to say, I prefer the ending to this arc more than that of tsuneki's, because Tsuneki's leaves a lot open, where as this one had some decent closure.

They get together, she gets a career, he's a bus driver (hinted at by the arcade game), and they have a child.

I look forward to the next arc, and personally I don't feel that this show deserves a rating at 6.50. Given Mal's already inflated system (which I contribute to), I think it's at least a 7, I feel that far too many people got off put by end of arc 1.

Looking forward to the beginning and ending of the last arc!

Basically yeah. It's the same MC, with 3 different outcomes based on the girls he tries to chase.

As someone pointed out however, there are a handful of inconsistencies between personalities depending on the arc you're viewing. Though that may just be due to the in depth view of them, contrasted against their outward reception.

The fan service felt a little bit forced even if the girl were cosplaying...

I like the cameo of Inago Mask(?) & Squid Man from the Amagami show aim at children...

Going by what was shown in the previous episode you would think this episode would cement the love/dating relationship between the 2 of them but they only got 7+ minute in the closing moment in this episode, it was somewhat a disappointment, you would think that they throw at least half and half 15+ for the Comic con segment and the other half for the date of the two segment. *sigh* The positive thing is that I enjoy this arc more than the previous one solely because the interaction between MC & girl and ending felt more natural than the last one but like other MAL user commented it doesn’t compare to the predecessor in terms of fanservice, side characters’ exchanges, lovey-dovey and relationship building between MC & Heroine…

On a side note:
I hope the childhood friend route redeem the previous one from Amagami, Sakurai s one of my fav and they treat her route like crap compared to the other girls. I want this to be memorable one.

That was the best episode for sure. From comiket to meeting Tsuneki at a restaraunt and a date with kiss and hug later and seeing her as a mom later was very satisfying as well. More satisfying than last arc for sure, where MC basicaly got friendzoned and we focused more on career paths.

Didn't know there is a kissing zone, where couples sit on benches next to each other and kiss lol. GlAD THEY DIDN'T joined them there lol.
I legitimately laughed out loud when i saw him in Bus driver outfit. LMAOOO.
Oh also Tooru is the best looking wife/mom ever.

It's the daughter of our male MC and Toru. They're married ;)
Finally, i got my Amagami Plus ending now...with sweet decent romance and cute ending "10y later" :)

I don't believe that the last arc will be better, but who knows. Sadly the quality of Serien compared to Amagami Plus is weaker. The romance in Amagami Plus is better and sweeter.

Agree. Like i said above, there are alot more romance (moments) in Amagami than in Seiren.

Tooru looks amazing in that bunny suit! The furry fandom must be having a field day with that. Anyway, the Tooru arc comes to a heartwarming close with the episode. It's great to see relationships evolve in a natural, non-dramatic way and the characters develop without peer pressure. Shoichi and Tooru's future is a positive example as to the idea of "being a child forever". Even if they become adults, their childhood interests are what allowed them to move forward with their lives. I like how optimistic and bright this show is. Onto the next arc!!!

That ending was pleasant. I was kinda treating this like a Hibiki route in a way...unappreciated girl Hibiki. The build of this arc was much better than the last arc, but it seems as an author he lacks an ability to make ending that makes sense. The epilogue was great but their confession was odd.
