I love how Miu acted after being seen naked... That was one of the most matured act I've seen coming from a eroge-adapted heroine. And Manglobe also very cutely executed the second walk too.

Gosh, I just love this show more and more, while I'm still very sorry about all the Airi's development (hell, taking bath with your male classmate is not something to be taken lightly in eroge), Miu just came to me as a very competent heroine in both look and personality. If Kimi in Horizon was not extraordinary phenomenal this week, Miu would has been in top of my chart...

If Manglobe can pull of another ending with any of the other girls, I would say they will be either ultra-genius or dumbest dumbass in eroge adaption history.

Good episode,another awesome mom.

Miu was sooooo cute this episode she is getting closer and closer to Shingo and her ending looks the more possible.

Her mom was just....amazing she flirting with Shingo was hilarious...i think i would have fall to her....

We got the "Light of God" again we will see beyond it in the BDs.

Sana crying was sad she probably thought the worst scenario and i will love seeing her ending but it will be hard T_T

Next episode we get jealousy face in every girl lets see what we get.

Btw i love Miu's faces here:

WHY IS IT DOING THE MIU ROOT?!?!

The first few episodes was featuring Airi, and it got me attached to Airi
But then it jumped to Miu.... I feel like I've been lied to = =||

Sigh... (need more Airi)


I totally agree with you. I went FUUU! When I noticed that Sena got less and less screen-time while Miu... got moar. WTH are you doing, Shingo? Damn! :fuu:

Don't be sad, Airi! T^T

Miu's mom is definitely milf...

Even though its going a Sena/Miu route I still feel its gonna be Airi in the end..
To be honest I don't really care who he ends up with as long as he chooses one and not leave it an open harem ending cause I'll be pissed

It's funny how most thought that it was going to be an Airi end back when the show first started but now it definetly looking to be a Miu end.

The only way that happens is if the show pulls an asspull, and I highly doubt that since the pacing has been pretty good.

Airi is pretty much done with....she might like him, but he's in Miu mode, and I have a very hard time seeing him change that with only 3 episodes left.

Girl collapses and they don't call her mom. Another strange choice by Shingo like when he stuck his hand in the fire to get something that was easily replaceable.

What face should you put on we you see her, Shingo, the rape face like you always do.

Poor Sana, Shingo being such a nice guy and oblivious to how he acts is like someone who wants to get the girl to be his girlfriend is really becoming a problem.

Good episode i guess, Sana needs to be more assertive with shingo, and this anime's ending better not end up with miu route, i'll be so pissed. As much as i like Airi and how i thought the first few episodes were touching and it really seemed like shingo/airi till the end, miu comes out of nowhere and steals "the lead", and with Sana being my favorite of course, it pain stakingly crushes me to watch week after week as shingo continues to treat sana as just a friend, and sana not asserting herself and making her feelings clear to him.

Hopes for next episode : Shingo/Sana route comes out on top

To those saying 3 episodes is not enough to turn around to a different ending beside Miu-end, I'd like to make a few points here. Three episodes ago he was in a tub with Airi. It takes Amagami 4 episodes to tell an ENTIRE arc. This show HAS been very good with pacing, and at its current pacing it could completely resolve a Miu situation by the end of next episode, so what would they be planning on doing with the last two episodes?

Honestly, with three episodes left, and likely episode 10 facing a resolution/transition into another plot, I see it like this:

Ange: Time up, 0%
Sakuno: 15%
Miu:15%
Sana: 20%
No pick: 20%
Airi: 30%

Ange: Time's up, sorry to say. Ange's maid plot lines simply won't work at this point, all we had was a nice gesture, but with the emotional direction and pacing of this story, this ending would be impossible at this point. She's been relegated to a supporting role.

Sakuno: This is what I'm most afraid of. We've had minimal development of a character that is very prominent, with no explanation of background, characterization, or relationship beyond a flat "brother sister" co-dependency. As a main heroine, with no development, Sakuno is the biggest plot death trap possible. A true dark horse that could spoil it all.

Miu: Pacing for Miu suggests we're moving past her, with no chance to resolve her on the back end. If they changed pace, and put the brakes on hard, we could reign it back to Miu, but it would be more of the same, blowing up the rest of the show. We would have to alter the romantic, dramatic pacing, and go into a full on "this is a relationship, this is how it's going to be for the last 25% of the show, in the face of everything we've built up, leaving all these plot lines unresolved." I really just can't see it happening.

Sana: An initial examination would suggest Sana has a pretty strong chance, but she suffers from the same problems with Miu's pacing. Her feelings are about to be laid out, and we're in episode 10. There's a good chance it could go Sana-end otherwise, but the timing is all off - if this was a Sana or a Miu ending, this arc would have to be in episode 11 right now. Again, they could do it, but this show paces in half episodes, with transition elements being created and resolved in 10 minutes flat.

No pick: The dreaded no-pick, the failure to resolve anything with hopes of issuing OVAs or even a second anime-only season to resolve the problems. This is where I figured it would go when we saw an Airi-Ange-Miu switch, and would be the easiest way to wrap things up. However, this show has done a lot of things well, and even though this is "likely" I see it as a total cop out, done only by a staff who can't come up with a way to get out of this corner.

Airi: Three weeks ago, this was probably around 80% for me. Bath scene? Pacing against her story line? Constantly around, constantly the focus, with only her personal stuff mostly resolved, and all of her romantic feelings still in the air? The show has managed to minimize her role steadily, dropping her this far down. Airi is still my front runner, with her unresolved feelings, her constant character growth, and the camera focus/extra lines she gets throughout this whole arc (You don't see Ange and Sakuno getting all this extra attention). I believe this is where the show will go at this point, given they've left all of Airi's feelings and Shingo's connections on the shelf - they haven't really played them up at all, and they definitely exist. There is relatively minimal conflict between the characters if Shingo ends up with Airi at this point, especially if we resolve Sana's emotions via Miu's friendship.

Artistically, I'd also like to point out the best scene work, with the most lighting effort, and the sharpest amount of time and arrangement lies with Airi's scenes. If you inspect Miu, you get a lot of clean cut and dry scenes, that don't have the same budget put into them. Sana is probably second to Airi, with a lot of distinct scenes, however they are all driven in the same theme. Almost all of Airi's scenes that pivot on her plot have a lot of action, conflict, and sharp lighting contrasts from the other characters, invoking viewer attention, and is why most of us still feel "they couldn't possibly bring it back to Airi now, how could they at this pace!?"

You wouldn't even be thinking about it if they hadn't set those scenes up early on with that amount of effort. It will come my friends.

not really. if you've read lyim's post, he makes good valid points as to the pacing and character comparisons.

it's my opinion that the only contenders for an ending right now are Airi and Miu. Sakuno is possible, (and I use that term very reluctantly) but it would take a good amount of work to view the fullness of all her character.

I more or less agree with lyim here.
3 episodes are too long for Miu end, but not too short Sana or Sakuno ends.
But for Airi, I feel that she had it first few episodes, so it becomes harder to turn the table again.

I did predict things here, but odds will change after next episode.

Clearly some of you never saw Shuffle if you truly think 3 episodes is too many for a Miu resolution.....

In shuffle, the guy chose his girl with 3 episodes left, and the last 3 episodes were focused on the girls trying to accept his decision.

Airi is pretty much done guys...its nice to have hope, but sooner or later you have to know when the ship has sunk....

There is no way that in 3 episodes Shingo will completely forget about Miu, completely ignore Sana's issues, and fall for Airi....it ain't happening. He just doesn't like her like that, he's shown hints of attraction to Miu since the first time he met her in like episode 1 or 2. That attraction has fully blossomed on both sides.

I have seen Shuffle. This pacing is totally different and is a 1 block, not a 2 block show. As such it will have different plot progression, which it has clearly exhibited.

Edit: Let me note here that when I started this show I wanted a Miu ending. That's where I have bias, but it really won't happen at this point based on plot progression.

It's not just the matter of how many episode left to determine who Shingo will end up with, you will also have to taken into consideration of the logical side as well...

I mean obviously by this episode, we know that Shingo has feelings for Miu and vice versa... Sana is heart-broken and Airi is aware about that too, ie: Airi knows things have been going on between Miu and Shingo, she also knows that Sana likes Shingo to the point being heart broken when Shingo is being with Miu, the one she respects most.

Let's say Airi and Shingo will end up together, then how would she deal with Sana and Miu? When technically speaking, she'd have to snatch Shingo for herself, leaving those two heart-broken? We only have 3 episodes left, with the next episode will be still about Miu, Sana, Shingo, that leaves two episode for Sena to do: develop the feeling, advance on the relationship, sorted things out with Miu and Sana (you wouldn't want those two to be left unhappy either), do the ending and epilogue. By that logic, wouldn't that break the pace of the show we are having so far?

Not to mention, Shingo is now clearly having feeling for Miu, how do you fit the changes of Shingo to all of the things I mentioned above naturally? I know I can't in my head...

Again, I'm not ruling out the possibility of Airi or Sana end (to me, Sana is still a bigger contender than Airi). It just that it will be very difficult for them to break the flow now naturally. If Manglobe can pull it of, and us being happy with it at the end, they will be regarded as Genius of the Season by me :)

When I saw the obvious fog wall while Shingo was talking to Miu's mom, I knew a fanservice of Miu was going to happen.

Man, those fog walls sure must be a trend in several houses these days!

In anycase, I was looking foward to some Sakuno character development, but it seems she will remain in the background till the end, unless some MIRACLE happens in the next 3 episodes and she becomes something else... but I highly doubt that.

I feel like the ending is going to completely annoy me the way Hoshizora did. Sana has completely grown on me over the past couple of episodes, and would like to see her have a happy ending. The show should have an original ending with a Sana route since there isn't one in the LN. Unfortunately, it looks like that is not going to be the case. This will prove what other people have said about how the girl with the small body physique with the small breasts that is NOT the MAIN female character never ends up with the male lead. I guess I'll have to cheer for either Airi or Sakuno now. Miu is just "too nice" for my taste. Now hoping for an Akane Iro ending.

P.S. Does anyone have a pic of the pic of Sana holding Shingo (the cat) on her phone? 'ppreciate it.

not really.. although next one may still be Miu's and/or Sana's, having two episodes left after that next one, lots of things could happen.. this is a 12-episode series where they tend to make stuff faster towards the end, not something 2-cour (like Shuffle, so i don't think we can clearly put a period on anything yet, Tenchi_Ryu, and besides Shuffle is one of the more unique ones when it comes to eroge adaptations).. and it's not even ridiculous that Airi could win because the first half of the show is all about her (she even invaded Ange's section), and they can just make something happen in those two episodes like her comeback or i don't know what to tie up the entire show and not make it something that can be divided into two main parts.. but then again, Miu has now developed to the point that she has a larger shot (and she can make all the remaining episodes to be hers instead).. and if Sana wins, this anime would've made up for the lack of her own route in the game, which is nice.. and the protagonist isn't even very clearly settled on who he loves yet (sorry, Zavie, i'm not seeing what you're seeing, Shingo still seems to be in admiration/crush state, something common to feel for cute senpais though it's agreeable that it's more than that of their first meeting).. heck, i don't even know what Manglobe is planning.. it's now war.. ahaha.. this is one eroge adaptation worthy to watch.. and it's too bad that it would not have generally favorable ratings even from all of us who stuck with the show because some of us may not be happy in the conclusion because we're rooting for Heroine X.. so Manglobe, the rest is up to you guys to pull off something to make all of us satisfied..

Disclaimer: i am siding with no one.. i just want the show to be really worth the time investment that i gave.. heck, as long as that guy won't touch Sakuno, i'm all good..

in the original VN Sana was not a possible choice. her development came alongside the Miu route, which we are witnessing firsthand through the anime. in the PSP version of the visual novel, however, Sana became an available selection.

Let's say for now Shingo is just having a crush with Miu, it'd be still pretty unnatural if Shingo would forget his crush completely in the remaining episodes? I mean it's possible to do that, just that it won't look good...

And, if you watch the end of episode 9, that 2 white blurry frame that Shinga and Miu got, they are... um pretty much closed the doors for the others...

Miu's mother is also pretty bold isn't she? xD

Also that ray of light coming from that room when Shingo went back really spoiled what was going to happen. Even though it was a cliche moment, I think they handled it pretty well without any screaming or punching. They even went back till the park together again. ^^

Miu was so cute in the later scenes too. I really think she's trying to hide her feelings for him, but it isn't working very well. Sana had no problems noticing something between them though. A flag has been raised high for Miu. I really though he would end up with Airi, but it looks like it'll be Miu now. Meanwhile Sana's acting all hurt even though she never told him his feelings and always acted tsundere towards him. =/

At least it wasn't cat stamps on her special places but rather an unintentional 'get ready for fan service' alert. The bath scene was played rather maturely than any other VN adaption I've seen.

I felt that from the beginning and many still didn't forget about Ange's path being severely rushed to death.
