| This all struck m as very... stupid. |
| What a dumb ending to an arc. I can't believe they couldn't just end it on a better note. |
|
| 3/10 arc, half-assed Amagami remake. And Amagami wasn't even really that good. |
 |
| Sucks man, wish the ending was better but atleast it's a possibility they become a couple further down the line. Tsuneki come back. |

iPinoy said: As much as you guys are shitting on this, you have to put the aspect that this ending was fitting for Tsuneki's character/personality. THIS THIS and so THIS! She's too much of a loose cannon to be tied down by someone, let alone dudes like Kamita. On the other hand, I also don't understand people here complaining about lack of realism when this whole arc has been a bunch of coincidences, lucky breaks and cop outs. I say just enjoy the ride even if the destination kinda sucks. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Ayaneru sama did a great job with this voicing Tsuneki. Fuck the MC. The guy is more of a bitch than Aki from Saekano. |
iPinoy said: As much as you guys are shitting on this, you have to put the aspect that this ending was fitting for Tsuneki's character/personality. But, this is romance anime and use omnibus format, they must bring a best good ending for it. Although for Tsuneki's personality, in amagami ss you can see that Morishima Haruka is childish and like teasing too, but they had good ending and get married in the end. |
 Nice to meet you.......はじめまして。。。。。。。。。 |
| what the hell ?? they got friendzoned even after 5 years ?? a little bit disappointed for first arc, at least their underwater kiss was good. hope the next arc would be better |
| I didn't find the link between ending of third episode and the fourth. She fell in love with him but I don't understand why she didn't speak with him anymore. In any case the first three episodes are really good I was captivated by the plot, but the 4th episode destroyed everything. It be like forced to end the arc, but I'm curious to understand how their relationship will go on. I hope the other 2 girls come during the timeskip of 5 yrs, so it a sort of going on waiting for her. It could be really sad if he falls in love with the second one after Tsuneki comes back |
| I liked the way it ended. It was okay :D |

It could be really sad if he falls in love with the second one after Tsuneki comes back They are different arcs, differents stories. You can say that each arc happens in a parallel world. And this is totally wrong for me if it's true. Why should it be a parallel world? |
IRIS-T said: Nope, Tsuneki at the end says "So you`re the 'colllege' student that is working here" although honestly the term university and college is pretty much interchangeable. Is after school of course. For example in Italy the college is same thing of University |
| Well that was something i guess ... Didn't expect some amazing stuff from this series, but didn't think that it would be such dissapointment. Maybe i'll like other heroines more and it gets at least a bit better, wishful thinking =/ |
 |
| This episode really pissed all the good things this anime had away. The beach scene was forced, the timeskip was forced...even Tsuneki felt completely different. Only beta-kun was consistently mediocre as usual. I hope the next arc is better. |

| I think they should go quickly when they're kissing underwater, because the tide become very high, from just about the back of the head to the ear, to drown both of them... I think that will be dangerous... |
 |
| People sure are overreacting about this end. It was fine, but of couse it could be better. And the kiss scene was 10/10. PV of next Arc(?): |

| Didn't like the ending too much, but it was cute. Love Hikari. I guess I'd give this arc a 5/10? |
Lelouch0202 said: RKarim69f117 said: Hm! time skipped already in episode 4? what is the meaning of this?! so he will find his next heroine after 5 years? 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. 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. Since Hikari was in the next episode preview, wouldn't that mean there is some continuation with her? |

skyrocketing said: Since Hikari was in the next episode preview, wouldn't that mean there is some continuation with her? No, this anime is use omnibus format, so Hikari's arc is end with that ending (4 eps for 1 heroine). It's like you playing a dating simulator, when you reach a heroine ending, you reset it, and play new game with new heroine. You can see the continue IF this anime has season 2. |

Well in Amagami all the girls made appearances in the different arcs and even play supporting roles at times. Like even in Hikari's arc, Shouichi's childhood friend appeared a few times right? It's probably gonna be something like that. Plus they already time skipped this episode and the PV showed them back in school right? If there was a Hikari continuation then they should have continued from where they dropped off in this episode. So as far as I can tell you, it's probably just a few minor appearance and nothing more than that. Of course, this is all assuming they stick with Amagami's story style. |

Gotcha, I've never watched an anime in that style before. Should be interesting! |

| Tell me if I'm wrong or right pls: Hikari disappears like she never had a relationship with Shouichi and he started from zero with another one? Because from preview that Aozaki posted before it seems like they are at college, could it be during timeskip? |
Slim1795 said: Tell me if I'm wrong or right pls: Hikari disappears like she never had a relationship with Shouichi and he started from zero with another one? Because from preview that Aozaki posted before it seems like they are at college, could it be during timeskip? Simply, this anime use omnibus format. The definition from Google : “Omnibus format” is when a harem anime is dismantled into a romance anime. The protagonist is able to date and fall in love with a one of the romantic interests. This is known as a romance arc. Once the romance arc is concluded, the anime then resets time to the beginning, and the events in the next romance arc begin to play out. Any and all experiences from the previous arc are non-existent. Using the omnibus format allows an animation studio to have the protagonist court multiple love interests without having love triangles involved. In short, it answers the "what if the guy ended up with another girl" question. |
| Nice to meet you....... はじめまして。。。。。。。。。 |
| Liked it. See the other threads about "bad ending" and about the arc - where I posted more about it already. Looking forward to the other girls. Especially the disciplinary committee girl shown in this episode. (I think she'll be in 2nd cour/season.) I guess this works fine with this pacing. I'd prefer if they did it similar for the other girls - where each girl influences the main (and the main influences the girl) differently (MC ending up in different jobs later). Best would be if they added some 1 OVA per girl later to really get them to start a relationship or marry 5 years later. The only thing I didn't like: Him doing that job because he wants to meet Tsuneki again (even working in that cafe) - felt a bit like this was the only reason. There could have been better reason. (For example a girl which was ill .. then died and he would become a doctor. But that would obviously mean a super bad end then - if the girl died.) |
| What the actual fuck was that. Really? They couldn't do a proper ending like in Amagami? If they don't make an OVA and end every arc like this, I will be really pissed. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Wow, 5 years... Anything can happen in 5 years. There is no reason for them to wait for each other if they never made any promises to begin with... Felt really unsatisfying, I'm cool with open-endings, but only if it's well executed. |

We'll just be going through the same time with a different turn of events. So that mean, we will see again MC going to summer camp? They really going to do that? Because I quite liked this arc actually, so I might just drop the rest of this anime and re-watch Haruhi's endless eight instead. |

Dantroy said: Ikr, I felt so salty that they didn't go through with showing the relationship and ended the arc with implications. I wanted to see them TOGETHER, AND HAPPY, but "nooooooo you're a creative guy, think up the next part on your own!" *cries*I... Just... Aw man... That touched me at a personal level :') Such insatisfaction. Such a bitter-sweet taste. |

| This was bad and the MC was ridiculously bland. |
| Anyone else feel really disappointed about the first arc? Judging by the pacing of their relationship I suspected it was going to be rushed but I didn't expect it be basically friendzone the anime. I can't tell if it was trying to be a romance story or it's just a story about falling in and out of love in a summer fling. If it's the latter then they rushed the hell out of it. You can't condense the exploration of those emotions in like the last 5 mins of the episode and expect to tell an effective story. (Aku no hana manga and 500 days of summer did far better job) They could've spent 1 or 2 episode fleshing that out for it to be a relatable and realistic story. At the end the mc was talking about how he thought he finally gotten closer to Tsuneki when they kissed, only to drift farther apart. Also he talked about how he exchanged numbers with Tsuneki and she never texted him once. I was like what the hell is this depressing shit lmao.I don't even know what the whole point the writer is trying to convey. Are they just mad that this happened to them so they wrote this out of spite? In terms of the characters, i thought the dialogue felt kind of realistic especially how they nonchalantly talk about lewd stuff without freaking out like anime characters usually do. I disliked the mc because he was milquetoast. I was kind of annoyed about how ambiguous Tsuneki felt about Kamita. One moment she is cold/trolls Kamita and next moment she is nice/flirts with him for no explicable reason. The inconsistency in her behavior made her feel a bit unrealistic. |
| a truly lovely episode and arc :) I think Tsunei is and will be best girl even if I dont know the others yet. I am surprised that it went by 5 years O.o but as she came back I would rather see the story continue around Tsuneki and Kamita :))) Maybe a spin off or something? aww I want to see more of them ;((( 6/5 arc |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
PoLoBreak said: Anyone else feel really disappointed about the first arc? Just read the other comments, 90% of them are people talking about how bad of an arc conclusion this was. I didn't hate it, because I've never seen a show like this and didn't make the ironclad assumption that they'd end up together, but that timeskip was damn dumb. |
| I feel like it definitely could have used an extra episode, hopefully we get an OVA or something. The ending felt a bit too rushed, open ends are already a tease but a two second character appearance? maybe better than nothing but ugh. |
| Dayum that was a nice ending that I did not expect. They would make a really great couple, shame I won't get to see how it works out... Tsuneki was awesome though she made that arc great. Really wish she didn't leave him to learn cooking lol. Hope the next arc is good too |
 |
| well i doubt they would end up with each other in the end considering tsuneki's character realistically |
 |
| they skipped five years and meet again.. i cant help but compare it with amagami. in amagami, time skip means they either married and have a kid, or living together in this.. ugh. and they have contact number but none of them take the initiative~ ugh the kiss was good tho. but still, if this one were to get a game, no one would want to take this route. the main character really need to step up his game, juunichi confess to haruka again even after being rejected and this guy not even confess once. |
| I hated this MC so much! I really hope the next arc is better. |
