Onmibus format?

So is this series based off a game or light novel? I kinda see stuff here and there about others talking about it.

Julitku39 said:

Its actually a visual novel, in which there are multiple routes for the different girls (as far as I know, I haven't played It yet)

Zinksty said:

Oh that’s interesting. So technically each girl has their own endgame potentially? So I’m assuming the anime is picking one route to follow for the series?

Julitku39 said:

Well I didn't watched episode 6 yet but from this threat I assume It finishes the "Kamome route" and the next 6 episodes will likely center around another route or maybe even 2 more. And yes each girl has their own endgame but from the number of girls we have I'm assuming we'll get to see like half of the endings in this season and the other half on a unlikely season 2

With the first major arc over with, the series had an 'Ending' per say. I'm curious if they will do like Amagami or Photokano, and act like they finished one arc are reset for the next?

@Zinksty there is a one true ending in the vn actually. but to reach that you would need to play all the routes and i believe the anime is also following in that direction.

i recommend you to check the vn if you got the time since it should have more details that anime cant fit in 24 minutes per episode runtime

@Zinksty i like the true ending. It's a masterpiece in my opinion and you better be ready for all the feels. They really explained everything well and all the characters also got their closure.

I could dm you for a link sure

@Zinksty the VN is by Key, they're ALL sad. very very VERY sad. like... open a blood passageway in your body sad... Key is INFAMOUS for bawl your eyes out, gut wrenching, boo-hoo need a hanky sad stories. the titles i remember from Key are Kanon, Clannad, Air, Planetarian, Little Busters, Re:Write, Kud Wafter, and Angel Beats. i'm almost 100% sure each of those VN titles got their own anime adaptations as that would be the reason i remembered the titles.

as for everybody else's speculations, i'm fairly certain the anime will 'reset' back to Point A where the VN starts the 'logic tree path-walk' for the conquest route each girl has.

one of my faves that uses that 'hey is that my first 'save file'?' format was Amagami SS, 2nd fave was Photokano. the 1st girl's arc started in that anime with a long rundown of the setup. THEN girl 1 pops into 'focus' annnnd awaaaay the story went. when 'he' bagged girl 1 the ENTIRE anime (including EP songstress, each girl's VA sang her arc's EP) RESET back to a quick n dirty FF synopsis of 'the setup' till 2nd girl pops into 'focus' annnd repeats the same pattern after 'he' bags girl 2. there isn't any 'cross-pollination' or anything in AmaSS or Phokan... it is like you're watching multiple romcoms with the same 'guy' and each 'girl he likes' over. and over. and over again. RESETTING back to Point A for each girl.

@Zinksty Nah, it isn't sad. If it were sad you would be getting off easy. It is miserably brutal.

Actually, it seems they're adapting the Reflection Blue enhanced release of the VN so it should actually get a proper ending for the true route where it does pick back up. All of the routes on Reflection Blue are positive ends, ultimately, except one... which is one of the most incredible endings of all the routes despite it coming from a character that was initially my least favorite, and while not my personal favorite definitely one of the most impressive ones imo. route for those curious and want to know who but no spoiler.

In general, all of the routes have a major emotional impact with only one route having a significant lower impact, but still giving you some feels.

However, be warned... If I were to rate the emotional impact of the routes then Kamome's is the least emotionally impactful after and if you want to be technical route. It is quite engaging near the end but if we called Kamome's a gut punch, the others are drop kicking you or using deadly weapons.



OP, they should be restarting the route though they may skip the first two episode prologue. It is pretty much mandatory with this series for more than simply "different romance routes". It would spoil the story if I said more though, but I can give a minor spoiler here without going too far if anyone wants a slight hint for better understanding:

Markis86 said:
@Zinksty I give a detailed answer to that, without spoilers, in the Best Girl thread on here. It should be one of the newest (or newest) post. In short, though... Ao, followed by Shiroha if talking romance, and Shiki & Umi (after Ao) if not specifically romance.

Tennouji said:
I am looking forward for Hairi and Ao "special scene" if Studio Feel will go explicit on it, like what they did on Island. Or if they will omit/change it.


But I am more on doubting they will omit/change the "special scene" when this is Studio Feel we are talking about.

@Zinksty It's sad in the way the story progress but most of their works usually end with happier note or bittersweet at worst.

@Moppit

KyoAni (and TOEI before that) had their routes running in the same timeline for Kanon.

On the other hand, this week's episode shows that it's running on an omnibus format where each route will run distinct from each other on different timelines.

Somebody mentioned in the episode threads that a character is time looping so Hairi get to help each girl, then it would probably converge on 'a true ending.'
