I hope they are not making more anime like this one. It works for a Gal games or any RPG, but kills immersion big time and 1 girl per episode cause they dropped 5 on the first girl seems odd. It started so well.

WTF?!
What the hell happened?! He was with Haruka, kissing her just last episode!


Omnibus format

The show "resets" to after episode 4 when a route is completed

Episodes 1-4 = Focus on Maeda getting into photography and setting up all the girls routes/premises

Episodes 5-6 = Haruka Route

Episodes 7-12 = Seems 1 ep per girl now with Sanehara this week and Muroto senpai next week


Oh great so fucking Amnesia all over again...well minus he has a personality and doesn't die..

Also who in the hell eats a burger like that, that was frightening in a manner.

Hm... so each of the left heroines will only get one episode, i can't say I like this. I hope they won't rush the other arcs.
Although they relationship developed way too quickly, this episode was okay imo. Sanehara didn't stand out much in the first four episodes, so you barely knew anything about her. This episode gave her at least a little bit of character development and once I started to learn more about her, she was an enjoyable character. Maeda however acted even dumber than in the Haruka arc.

this episode was painful to watch in more than one way, 1 episode per girl is way to short didn't even remember this girls name

was also weird how much the MC personality changed after the reset.

Most enjoyable episode so far, didn't focus THAT MUCH in fanservice, And btw, is it just me, or did Maeda's personality changed drastically since last arc?

Oh and also, lol @ the Thriller choreography

so last week i finally thought "oh, maybe this anime will turn into something nice.", but now i'm just shaking my head.
i don't really get how people can enjoy this omnibus format. if this was an hentai i could understand that it's nice to see the mc with every one of these girls, but if it's just like this... or if every one of these girls were really unique. but i doubt it'll be like that. i think it'll just be a pretty/average girl with a different background story every week/every few episodes. which will be pretty boring imo. i don't know about the game, but this is my assumption.

Well, the anime is already something nice if you know what you want to get from it.

Both hentai and love-based VN has omnibus format anyway. In terms of uniqueness, at least I can tell apart the characters of Haruka from the student council president or from the girl in this episode pretty easily. Average girls they may be, but who says people cannot fall in love with an average girl?
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.

An expected turn of direction!!!

I knew from the very start of the first episode that they would follow a similar structure like Amagami SS and I guess they started the structure from Niimi's Arc. So I guess the first few episodes, they introduced each of the girls giving them a mini scene interacting with the main character in order to give use an insight of each of them in which the second half of the series focuses on the endings for each heroine. From what I can see the remaining episodes will be used for each heroine. The Niimi arc really was the longest and the main one as there was only one episode for Sanehara.

This episode was pretty good and I laughed at Maeda-kun's change of personality and his dancing in the cat suit was so random and quite funny. The setting was pretty good as they managed to briefly explain certain events such as the theme park, beach as well as photos showing them celebrating Sanehara's birthday and going to events like the New Year Festival and some others in one episode. Maybe if this was a 24 episode then they could expand on it but I guess the limitation have made it so that they have to explain everything in a brief way.

Looking forward to Muroto, Aki and her arc in the next episode!!

5/5

3/5

Give the highest score would be like saying that everything is animated in a poor has a reason to live! Can not see this horror, fun is a bit too dramatic, but you can not move to a new route so on two feet and the designs are just ugly, except in the final moment when Maeda takes Hikari. Then the behavior of Maeda is too different!

This ending felt rushed. I really don't have much else to day this style is not really my thing but I guess it works for anime based on Gal games.

3/5 diddnt like it that much but I can't say I diddnt like it.

I loved the idea of Photokano being made in arcs, like Amagami SS but I think they're going really fast! D: I was hoping for at least 2 episodes for each arc, oh well, it's a good thing that I love the characters or I would be really mad right now xD

Hmm, everything felt like on fast forward here.. I guess they are taking all heroines routes in ep till the end then?

First part of this episode was really dumb and main character was really annoying. Second part was a little bit better but so so episode nonetheless.

I am still not sure whether this was good move - relations are evolving too quick - this series should have at least 22 episodes.

i was kinda confused at the beginning cause i was expecting to see more of haruka x mc. maybe i was thinking it might be a little like (laugh at me if you want to xD) Clannad. i mean like getting to see a little bit of the other girls arcs while they're together [mc & "main girl"]. maybe that's partly because most of the romance animes i've seen till now either focus on one girl or are harem (=no clear ending, at least 90% of the time)

though i wasn't expecting it i certainly didn't dislike it. i liked it but i would also like 2+ episodes per girl. one episode seems too rushed and isn't really enough to get you to understand/sympathise with a character.


oh and am i the only one hoping there'll be an Uchida arc ? ^_^

With the routes or an arc episode or two per character, with the start of episode 7. This is definitely like Amagami SS (or turning into Amagami SS type of series), a number of beautiful girls, will have each of their episodes/Arc, and on those episode Maeda and each of the different girls will end up as a couple. Only difference compared to Amagami is the essence of Photography in Photo Kano.

Though weirdly enough, it isn't bad at all imo, a good ice breaker after watching the other series for this season. I like the CG from the show too i.e. the sexy portrait photos >_>.

UnbornMVs said:
What the fuck was with this episode. What happened to Niimi ?

And what the hell is with Maeda his character changed like hell .


This episode 7 is like a New Arc or a New Route. Basically Episodes 1-6 was for Niimi's Arc/Route( Route: term for a galge game if you did not know). So you can look at it as Episode 1-6 = Niimi's Arc = 1 Universe

On episode 7, therefore is a new Arc meaning its a new Universe if i can put it that way, and what ever happened to Episode 1-6 didn't happen on the New Universe in Episode 7.

So basically episode 1-6 = Niimi Arc = They fall in love and lived happily ever after.

New Arc Episode 7 = What ever happened in Ep 1-6 did not happen on this one = Maeda Meet Sanehara = essence of photography = They fall in love and lived happily ever after

On the remaining 5 episodes it will probably again be 5 different arc's (just like ep. 7) for the remaining female Characters being : Nonoka, Tomoe, Aki, Mai and Rina

I guess they couldve atleast put something like this on the title:
"Muroto Aki's Arc" Episode 8 or something, just like the Different Arc's on Clannad & After Story.

One episode for the rest of the girls is ridiculous. There is no time to show a decent development for the girl or their relationship. Amagami SS did everything a lot better than this. This is like a poor mans Amagami.
Hope the pettanko megane president will get at least 2 episodes since she's my favorite.

I like Hikari. So I liked this episode too. But it feels rather rushed to fit one girl's route into one episode.

So this arc is only one episode long ?! And we have not even known this girl very well yet... I guess there is a reason that Haruka is main heroine, as her arc is so much longer. And the next episode we are already on to the senpai student council president...

Anyway, my fetish this week:

I was confused on why it's another girl so as soon as I read that the anime was adapted from a game, I finally figured it out.

Too bad this girl's arc was only one episode. Would have loved to see it more developed but I like the end though where Maeda got her hand and put it in his pocket. *OTP FEELS*

Can't wait for the next arc! But Photokano only has 12 episodes right? Better check out Amagami SS.

Yay, pictures of Sanehara!

Sanehara is so deep.

That cat costume part was funny.

That "date" in the amusement park was amusing.

And that stargazing was spectacular.

Even the beach photos of Sanehara were amazing. Way to go, Maeda!

So, Maeda was lovey dovey with Niimi last episode and now he goes for Sanehara?

You ran out of ink dear studio? Seriously, the visual drop is beyond abysmal, even some of the close-ups are terrible. Unfortunately the shows lacks a thrilling storyline or complex characters, so the visual department has a lot to carry on its back. And we finally got done with Niimi...

Anyway, I liked the episode a lot more than the previous one, it actually made me like Sanehara. I now even wish she had more screen time. 3/5.

I dropped this anime after episode 7. I HATED Maeda's new personality. He was like child with ADHD trying to get someone's attention. I sincerely wanted to put my hands around his fucking throat and choke him to death. HE WAS SO ANNOYING! I regret watching the anime and Sentai is going to reget licensing this hot trash when they realize the mistake they made.
