Hmm, feels like Tsuneki is more tense than usual. The misunderstanding between her and Kamito though...

I think this episode showed a cuter/shyer side of Tsuneki, at least more than usual. I have to admit, the segment with the both of them in the waters back to back is quite something. It just captures a more unique bond between the the duo ever since they've met up to now. That was one heck of an underwater kiss!

So the arc came to a conclusion and the main didn't make a confession but judging from the ending they are on the right way to becoming a couple.
This arc was ok and looking forward to the next one.

Did you ever try to kiss someone underwater?

I find it hilarious how many romance anime try to sell this as a pleasant experience ^_^;

what the heck is this? I mean, Hikari is good character, definitely better then Sae or Rikhoko from Amagami, Shoichi well he's not so bad anyway as well, but where is romance part? The last few seconds are 5+ years from the beginning so they are 22-23 now and they're still well good friends I guess. Not lovers. In Amagami Junichi began to date each girl at least on 3th year of studing (Rikhoko) ~18. In 23 he had child with Sae and maybe even with Tsukasa.
but here... it's well... I'm speechless. Good characters, good character designes, atmosphere of old amagami but poor script (many inappropriate ecchi moments) and zero romance. So 1st arc is 2,5-3/5 max. It doesn't deserve more. Will see what sempai and kohai girls will give us next.

That was an amazing first kiss. Loved how it looked too, underwater and everything.

Overall though, I'm pretty let down by the conclusion of this arc. I really hope the other arcs have more satisfying endings, though they may not be able to top the underwater kiss.

I really liked how they managed to find their goals in life from each other but they didn't depend on each other or hold each other back to reach it. Sure I'd love a more satisfying ending but I find this one a bit sweet in its own way, it's about love reconnecting and seeing an after of this would be brilliant. Guess that's what my imagination is for as I have no doubt they'd have a happy ending together :)

And that kiss was great, not enough underwater kisses in anime! It was on the low end of Amagami satisfying but it did try something new, I wouldn't say I was too frustrated by this end. Plus time skips are always nice!

Conclusion felt a bit rushed.

To dedicate your whole career on a whim just to stay close to someone, who went off to pursue their dream and to top it off join her old job as well while having no contact anymore whatsoever, felt quite stalker-ish and overly optimistic lol.

Then again MC was quite transparent, not like there was anything hinting that he had his own passions like Junichi did depending on the arc. But man 4 years past high school is a huge chunk of your life to be on standby waiting.

Hm! time skipped already in episode 4? what is the meaning of this?!

so he will find his next heroine after 5 years?

Also this episode was contradictory.She was suppose to tease him and had fun, yet transformed into a very good girl.

By the way, that kiss was too romantic but he got dumped later? well lets see whats next heroine do and how MC will change after 5 yrs.

Good episode but I guess they had to rush it a little to end it this episode.

As I suspected, it was Yukie who tattled on Hikari who handled the entire incident in really mature way, she didn't dwell or blame Yukie for anything. I really liked how the entire was resolved without any drama.

Also Araki loves animals? Damn, After Kamita's comment I was hoping he was a fellow minion of the 2D world. XDD

Hikari was adorable again, her blushes are so cute. <3
The entire beach scene was great and really sweet to watch. You know what, Shouichi is a clever guy, When you can't do it yourself, Let the waves do it for you. XD

The underwater kiss was beautiful, I guess you could also attribute the fact of it being underwater to the bittersweet state of their relationship. Both of them like each other, yet none of them actually confessed openly nor did they become an actual couple. So when Shouichi commented on the kiss being "Salty", I thought it felt kinda symbolic.

I wish they showed a little more of the timeskip, with both of them actually going out on a date or something after meeting up. Glad they both found something they wanted to do. :)
Overall, pretty decent conclusion to the arc and I for one really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next.

The show is styled like Amagami SS, I guess you haven't seen it. Basically the show is split into arcs with 4 episodes per arc each with a different heroine. These arcs are not continuous at all, so the next episode will be similar to episode 1, the difference being instead of Hikari being the main heroine, it'll be a different girl. Think of it like a VN where you replay in different routes.

So as for your questions, This episode is the conclusion of the Hikari arc and that's why we got timeskip.

He will not be finding a new heroine after 5 years since we're basically gonna be restarting from the starting point of the show. We'll just be going through the same time with a different turn of events.

Im not sure how anyone could say this kind of conclusion in a omnibus type of romance show is anything buy a "bad end" route.

Makes me wonder if they did it so people would buy some eventual VN to see a better ending for them two.

Dam I hope theres a Seiren+ Plus (Sequel) like Amagami SS with its Amagami SS+ Plus so we can see additonal episodes of Tsuneki. But I've been hyped for Tooru Miyamae senpai which is the next arc(judging by the preview of next episode) after reading her profile on MAL. #GamerGirlBestGirl

EDIT : Forgot to comment but Im guessing Ikuo and Mako got to together or something along those lines I guess judging by his mood and his usage of the word old friend.

Underwater kiss was beautiful and overall amazing finish for Tsuneki. I would have liked for them to be official at the end but they hinted it well enough so we know they'll be a thing. Maybe if we're lucky, they'll make some OVAs that show a little more like they did with Amagami

Hinted well enough?

You must of watched a different episode than I did.

She cut off all contact while they were still in high school. She didnt talk to him for 5 years. She didnt even know he was working at that store. She didnt seem all that interested when she noticed it was even him.

Sure who really knows what "could" happen after that horrid ending but there was 0 hints that could lead anyone to believe anything good or even neutral would happen after being cut out of her life stone cold like what happened.

Don't think I've ever been more frustrated watching an anime. What's disappointment. Dude gets friendzoned because she wants to gosh road and study cooking because he ate her fucking food? And the beach scene was so forced. Goddamn. Great girl, but god awful fucking ending. Considering dropping.

I think this ending fits with Hikari's character quite well. She's a very independant and adventurous person. I think she discovered as much about herself as she did about Shoichi at the summer camp.

And the time they spent together, while sweet, was short. They'd only begun to develop feelings for one another.

Now they're older and wiser, maybe we'll get an OVA where they're married and now own and the run the bar? (One can hope!)

New girl next week, I'm gonna miss Hikari (and Ayane Sakura). I sound like a broken record but I can't wait for Kyouko, she seems so cute. I hope she gets a good ending or I'll be like (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻.

I believe Seiren is split into 2 cours (roughly means a broadcasting season in Japan) so I think the other 3 girls will be in be the next one (no idea when it airs).

Okay, thats way too fucking funny how Tsuneki became a specialist in cooking deer xDDDDD

This felt a bit rushed but overall I liked this and the arc.....I got my fill of good interactions and development between the two and it ended on a great note

I must say though that Tsuneki really is a breath of fresh air for me because normally a girl in an anime like this would flip out or get depressed over what her friend did yet Tsuneki decided to be pretty chill about it and took the mature route by letting it go and that's fucking awesome

Gonna be hard to see if any of these other girls will surpass the love that I have to Tsuneki but I'm looking forward to it

Pretty sure the timeskip showed that with her being done with Cooking school and both of them now kinda being in the same field, they can rekindle their love

This is like the third post that I'm seeing like this....Like did you guys stop watching after the beach scene?

Honestly, the way they wrote this arc it would've been better as a full 12-cour series by itself. Their relationship was rushed, the friend drama was rushed, and so was the drama at the end.

Also, who the fuck forgives their friend so easily after the shit Yukie pulled on Hikari? Hikari just didn't care? Were they trying to imply that it didn't bother her because she was able to get close to Shouichi because of it? And then she goes on to friendzone him because of career goals. The writing in this episode was terrible and all over the place.

5/10 if I had to rate this series based on the first arc alone.

It was an utter disappointment. Just when you start to think that things are going to pick up pace the arc ends.
I don't understand why it was called an arc at the first place. The romance was actually crammed into last 10 minutes. It was shallow at best even then. They didn't confess at the first place. They didn't keep in touch despite having each others' contacts. They didn't remain friends let alone lovers.
After time skip they had another chance meeting where they are a little more than strangers. May be from then the arc should have started. This previous story was as useless as iphone front camera.

Overall if you were really excited about second coming of amagami and awesome character design of tsuneki...prepared to be utterly let down. And pray that other arcs are actually better scripted.

Terrible ending to a bad arc. I dont know if I can stand to watch anymore of this if all the episodes will end in a 'bad ending'.
Also the MC is too meek, will he tell his feelings to any of the female leads in the arc? Who knows...
For now I think I'm going to drop this. I may wait until once this season is over and see how to rest of it pans out before I decide if I will pick it up again

At least we got a kiss...

I mean, this wasn't satisfying at all. Some things happened, but in the end, MC's and Tsuneki's relationship didn't change at all, so it seems. I hope an OVA or another season will give more development to their relationship but I doubt it. Well... I hope Kamita lives a nice life in the friendzone...

By the way, is everything after this episode set five years later or does the time-skip only apply to the last minute of this episode?

The scenario is totally shit.
It's ANIMATION not fucking melodrama, who wants the story to end like that.
2 years school life left and they stayed as friends? Not one single mail? More like strangers.
5 years in Spain? A character like Tsuneki sure already had a boyfriend and at least I can expect some NTR Doujin if only there will be some.
I'm done with this shit, retarded scenario is retarded, Takayama should just do his character design and stay out of scenario.
Fuck me I'm so angry.
