All of sudden this anime turn become a drama.
Well, I didn't expect it should turn like that so soon.
It seem like the route is going with Haruka.

I hope it's all right :)

Liked the extra addition with the members of the Photography club trying to help Maeda out in finding Haruka, even if their motives may not have been solely based on patching things up between them and instead on getting erotic photos of her...

So they do 4 episodes with equal balance to all of the girls and now they focus on Haruka's route? Is it now omnibus? Really confused at how they're structuring this series.

If they don't get together at the end of the route and remain status quo that'll be weird as hell and if they do get together but don't reset what's the second half of the show going to be?

Looks like a route has been chosen but I think I prefered it more like the first few episodes. At least then it was actually focused more on photography and comedy. Not sure how this one will turn out, a little too much drama considering this is not really a seriouse anime. Not bad though as long as it goes back too being funny.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

I don't think it'll make sense if the arc doesn't conclude next episode. (Definitely doesn't make sense for the remaining episodes to be spent that way.)

Perhaps the structure's something like:

Intro
Path 1
Path 2
etc.

I hope our shy girl gets her time in the spotlight. Or our 'lil imouto. (Go ahead, shoot me.)

Ya this point, I'm not expecting much out of this show anymore. I'm just watching this for the lulz now. Anyways, latest episode was pretty meh. The main male protagonist Maeda-kun is as pathetic as ever. He reminds me of this character I've been reading a book about with his shitty personality. His back story so far with Haruka also seems to be a bore.

Anyways, shitty episode imo. 2/5. Hardly got my interest. Oh I don't think there was even any new photos in this episode. Wow.

It's a little bit different I think. I'm guessing the second half of this show will focus more on the club activities with bits of romance. I'm just guessing here but seems like Haruka is getting the most screen time considering she's the main heroine and all.

I approve the Haruka route! She really needs to get her chest checked out though ( By me! Guhehe )

Next ep looks like they reconcile and head to the beach. Giggity.

I'm curious how the show will go now though. I was hoping for a harem, or for them to atleast choose a route towards the end of the series, but this early?

Haruka unfortunately acts like the typical girl.

Considering Maeda is a 'reactive' guy, he can't react if Haruka keeps silent. For example, she attributes her own indecision as Maeda's...Maeda's undecided only because there is no "flag" of sorts to 'react' on for him to finally make a decision; in Haruka's case, there have been several times where she's in a situation where she has to decide yet still forgoes deciding anything. When a flag does come out for Maeda (whereas he is informed of it by Kanon), he does REACT, positively you can say, but then what does Haruka do? Reject his action. Haruka fail.

The other girls' interactions with Haruka actually presents an interesting...development though. Go through a complicated (but if carried out well will be a great one too) 'moving forward' of the story...or maybe not. LOL

Wow quite a turn of events in regards to plot progression and how much drama was thrown in this episode. Not even sure how this series is even structured after this episode. Perhaps each girl will have two episodes each? Doesn't seem like enough though. At least the protag had semi-backbone.

Though I pretty much deadpanned while watching this. Nothing I haven't seen, really.

Hope the arc will end on the next episode.

This was indeed some forced drama and there were some pretty awkward moments.
Like Maeda screaming in the rain, Haruka writing ''Maeda is an idiot'' forever in her notebook or every freakin' character in this series meddling into their love problems. When every girl texts Haruka one after another I was like O___O the fuck ? I certainly wouldn't react like it's soooo kind of them to worry. I would tell them to go f*ck themselves...

But still, overall, I managed to like this episode :p. It felt like a final episode and I don't know if this is the end of an ''Haruka arc'' or if were going to get some other ''Haruka drama episodes'' throughout the series. Afterall, it was pretty clear to me who he was going to end with from the start (there's much more screen time given to Haruka in the ending). Oh well, less drama would have been nice though.

Many of us here were actually surprised of this sudden drama, it was really horrible to do.
That's why I just say it was too soon for this.

lol oh god this episode was terrible before it was just a kind of crappy anime about photography/girls and perverts but then it turned into an anime with some of the worst drama i have ever seen. This episode was truly disgustingly bad it is like they were not even trying i seriously have no idea what they were thinking, i would honestly rather rub shit in my eyes than ever re-watch this episode again.

What did they try and shove an entire route or something into one episode? it felt even more rushed than that, and that drama was gag worthy i think everyone working on this anime should probably be banned from working in the industry again considering i don't know who is really responsible out of them for this pile of shit and i would rather not take any chances and just ban them all.

Well anyway rant over pretty much to wrap it all up.... That episode was a disaster.

The sudden drama was a nice change of pace the show has some substance to it now at least. I liked this episode better than the rest, the background visuals in town were awesome, and the first heavy rain scene was amazingly moody.

I'm actually happy about that bit of drama we got now. I could've easily gotten bored if the anime was only about him taking pictures of all the (pretty) girls with a little bit of comedy cause of that perverted club.
though I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding the ending. Does her turning off the lights mean she's going to meet him OR that she is going to sleep and f***ing tremple all over Maeda's decision ?! I hope it's the first one cause otherwise that would be pretty shitty of her (though I can't imagine her doing something THAT stupid)

i would like to see this turning into a real drama-romance anime with just one female character (haruka) who's important to the mc. because at the beginning i was pretty sure it's a harem anime, but now i'm not that sure anymore...

LOL, I guess the previous episode felt like a last episode, because they decided to completely change the tone of the anime. The problem is that after what we saw during the first 3 episodes, this kind of drama is really hard to swallow. The writers of this show are fucking terrible and don't seem to have any idea how to adapt properly the original content into a anime.

This anime is one hell of a trainwreck. I will keep watching it to see how bad it can be.

The structure and direction of the series is changing like I had thought it would for this episode!!!

This episode focuses on Haruka as the main focus with some drama inserted here and I wonder how this series will end up going as it is approaching halfway but are they going to follow one route from here as it seems quite early in my opinion!?

Looking forward to see how this turns out in the next episode!!

5/5
