----------------------------------------
Weird episode, felt like I was watching some Halloween party for a moment with the weird masks.

Mikoto got some awkward moment with Sakuya. I think they're really pouring the relationship dynamics into their characters. Not that I mind though since I'm starting to kinda like her role in this story. Yeah, this seems to be following her role. The comedy was weakly timed, didn't laugh much for it.

The kiss though..it happened!

lol @ Shimono-san's character breaking the love love atmosphere for several times.

Abe-san's character somehow fit with the group. 9 more days... lol @ scared by the oni mask. Preparing for Kimodameshi (for memory making, suggested by Yoshino-san's character). That long hair guy confessing what he saw in the dream. Is Shimono-san who voiced young Konishi-san's character in the memory? First time the kuudere girl showing tear when saved by the guy she cares.

The girl is not scared, and there are some people who are unexpectedly scared during Kimodameshi. Abe-san's character, as a kyonshii, wanted to scare both of them, who are in good mood, left and saw that bright lady (first time with her voice). The main pair kissed 3 times.

The culprit (?) really did something to the kekkai girl.

Since it happen at the end of the ep, dat cliffhanger...


I really like this adaption so far, its actually faithful to the game but adapted in a way it makes sense?
its still rushed though... but I guess that can't be helped.

Not going to lie even though I am a big Mikoto x Natsuhiko shipper, I will feel bad if she ends up with him so they got so deep into Sakuya's route XD

Anyways, I liked this episode a lot. They were able to include the important parts in the routes they chose. Overall they stay true to the game's storyline and characters

So Mikoto got thrown off the ship. Does this mean they're going to switch to Natsuhiko's route now? I think it's a little too late for that. There's no way they can properly develop Natsuhiko's route in just 5 episodes. The development will be pretty half-assed.

In any case, I expect a bad end for Natsuhiko. The OP hints that much, and he's not getting much development anyway. Besides, Sakuya keeping Mikoto's ribbon suggests Mikoto will comeback to him at the end.

So Kakeru x Koharu finally sailed for real.

Seeing Senri being harassed by Kakeru is always hilarious. That poor guy xD Akito being chased by chicks and freaking out about everything, but still trying to be cool, that's our little tsundere~ Great to see some development on Akito x Nanami overall. I hope the focus will now shift to them and
now that we have Kakeru x Koharu fully developed.

Man, the Mikoto x Sakuya scenes were kind of awkward indeed. Most of it felt like it came out of nowhere.

Oh wow, so
It's probably gonna be rushed and will leave out a lot of things, but I don't mind, it's been pretty much clear from the beginning that the anime is not gonna cover everything anyways.

All in all, the episode was kind of a mess with all the side stories going on at once.

Hopefully they go with the happy end for Natsuhiko. /fingers crossed.
Of course at the same time, considering how much they've developed Sakuya and how Natsuhiko dissappears in the op, I'm going to be cautious about how much I allow my hopes to be brought up. :b [why did I get invested in this. Ugh]

So they've finally decided to enter Natsuhiko's route. A bit late imo, but considering Mikoto wasn't able to clear the misunderstanding from the dream, I'm pretty sure there is no going back to Sakuya's.

Bless the anime for the amount of moving and talking Sorata I get. His new costume was so cute too ;u; And A.'s new song was lovely.

I think the fact that Mikoto wasn't able to clear the misunderstanding means it will be brought up later on.

Honestly, I think it will be a Sakuya ending.

Since Mikoto's off the ship, hopefully we can finally see more than a 30 second cameo of Natsuhiko next episode :'D

Also, whose route was it that had the dare? I totally thought today's episode was a filler.

Game Spoiler/Speculation for next episode's seemingly anime-original


Also, idk if its just my FRIENDSHIP GOGGLES are too strong, but despite following Sakuya's route , I dont think Mikoto has any romantic feelings for Sakuya. Yes, she cares deeply for him, but I see it more as " I need to protect my dear friend, no matter what"??

but I'm also the one who's not convinced at how Akito turned dere so quickly, so idk lollll

Did that scene with Syukuri and Nanami really happen...that was the worse, over-used device ever. Nanami bumps into some random buff bullies who grab her and he comes to save her? What was the point of such a scene. It did literally NOTHING but make me cringe.

And I not sure I'm feeling how he's suddenly forgotten his hatred for her and is all "she's so cute when I be nice to her" Did they skip something? That dream was all it took? He was so vicious at first. They need proper development, not this crap.

Its okay if the story is getting slow but make the story long ...so that we can fully understand each route of the couple...more on that please make nutsuhiko - mikoto more romance because i really like the pairing..arguing each other together with setsu insde the ship..makes me exciting and awaiting..i really love their..love hate romance....also sakuya i also love her..so im superduper curious on how their romance grow...which mikoto will choose a childhood freind who known her for a long time..or a stranger who she first met...sakuya-mikoto-natsuhiko romance fighting...for i think they finish kakeru- koharu romance ..and nanami and akito still continuosly on progress ..and still mikoto start her jurney with with a serious and honsomed guy nustushiko..and left a message to sakuya that he dont have to die..tht give sakuya strenght live...i love the romance .i really love anime romance...less battle but full of romance....mikoto fighting..

It's from Heishi's route, originally. It only happens there iirc.

Mild game spoilers


Possible predictions for the next episode (Heavier game spoilers)


I don't see Mikoto liking Sakuya either. She goes on with needing to protect him, yes, but did she ever act really fidgety or blush often? I don't think so.

My problem is that I feel like her relationship with Natsuhiko won't be told well considering the remaining amount of episodes. It takes her a long time to try and understand him, obviously...


I feel like Akito's writing has been rather odd in the anime but seeing he and Nanami hardly get any screentime I try to justify it with non visible development ^^;;

Another episode, and another confused me..... seriously, is this show purely service for the fans of the game?

As far as I can tell... nothing makes sense, not the place these kids are at, not what their roles are, and not even what has been happening (including the weird ass dream sequence which did nothing except to blatantly establish ships). All I know is that a bunch of kids are heading to some destination where apparently they'll all go their separate ways and that there are some people who don't want them to reach their destination. Everything else has been silly SOL and fantasy dream sequences coupled with some weird flashbacks for different eras which cannot be linked together nor made sense of on the whole....

And seriously..... apart from the main "ship" none of the side characters have been interesting enough to leave a decent impression on me (heck, I seem to be forgetting who is who after every single episode besides the main pairing and the expressionless blank girl).

This show does not entice me to play the game in any way whatsoever. In fact, the show confuses me enough that I'm feeling like dropping it out of complete confusion. It's a downright shame because as much as I've seen, the only show I can liken it to is Dramatcal Murder or whatever, purely based on how confusing that was... and that show I dropped after 3 episodes.

As an anime only viewer, I must say that they've been doing a poor job of revealing the overall plot. Too much SOL and side stuff and not enough actual development of the story IMHO. Up to now, the only two events that I've seen that seem to advance the plot would be the attack on the ship at the beginning of the show and the Mikoto girl getting thrown off the ship in this episode.

Meh, -10 interest in Kakeru and Koharu so I skip most of their scenes. Also, they were halfway throught Sakuya's route then it's literally sailing off ship for Natsuhiko, really cheap decisions tbh. I was surprised they animated the scene that made me rate Sakuya's route lower than Itsuki and Natsuhiko's.

Needs more Nanami and Akito, like always.

It got good after they started kissing (the music and everything else that happened).
Best-girl overboard!

Prior to that, was mostly just a pointless waste of time and failed with the romantic atmosphere (it was probably the lame music). This anime started promising, but has since been cruising at 3-4/10 range.

Apart from that: that throw off the cliff though!
Wonder what will happen next. A LOT of explanation to do.

Why the hell was the ghost girl petting Sorata... Moreover: does nobody do anything with Sorata and why he's even on the ship? It seemed like a good story but now it's like: "Boy from the future and clearly not our age? meh. He's nice. Let him stay."

So many awkward moments between the pretty obvious couples by now ... when did Koharu and Kakeru get so friendly, holding hands like that? Well I guess they got their big kiss ... on the other hand, Mikoto and Sakuya's scene was sooo awkward to watch >_< Wtf are you doing Sakuya?! Not to mention Nanami getting "saved" as well ... ohhh god lol. Was that even Syukuri in the flashback?! It didn't look like him ... and she just took away his memories of his brother?! WTF man that's messed up O_O
I wonder what happened to Sorata and the ghost ... that song she was humming was nice though. Intense cliffhanger with Ron (who I think we were all suspecting by now anyway) THROWING MIKOTO OFF THE BUILDING ... HOLY CRAP O_O Plus we see another power too, telepathy! Pretty cool stuff. At first I thought this would be how Sakuya saw himself dying but I doubt he'd have to die to save Mikoto unless she landed on him or something ...? Hmm ...

Main ship sailed so fast they kissed, was kinda cute.
Osananajimi #1 ship got weird, Sakuya stripped... but Mikoto never learns & goes off alone (does she forget their promises right away?), as expected cliffhanger ship capsized.
Ron seems part of attacker group & wants to prevent "reset" by removing Mikoto.
Osananajimi #2 ship revealed, but didn't explain why his onisama memory taken. Ship on slow cruise. Male mcs in this show say some of the most sexist lines it's funny. Akito super scared lol.
Future boy meets Yanagi's character, and she sang wonderfully yay!

ALL OF THIS. The show is focused on jumping from couple to couple with characters that are far less interesting than the plot. Every time an explosion happened, I actually would cheer because it meant progression. But for every explosion, we got a million 'heartfelt' moments with these bland characters who I also can't remember the names of. I just see them as stereotypes. Nothing has been explained, not even those weird chick things which neither Koharu or Sorata questioned. And speaking of Sorata, I can't stand how it took pretty up to NOW for this show to address his predicament. The kid is a walking plot device and they didn't talk about his existence because they were too busy having a dream episode showing off the ships that we saw IN THE DANG OPENING. Mikoto and her little love triangle seems to be the most interesting given how Mikoto is one of the few characters that I enjoy because she doesn't revolve around her guy as much as Koharu and the Rei clone do. I might just watch the rest of this zigzag of a show to see how it all ends. As an outsider looking in, I'm for her getting with Sakuya, or whoever the dude is that she's been friends with. Everyone else can just plant more stupid trees and and play with the bird things for all I care.
