Mai's route huh? Interesting. Well, I like the OST of this episode more than some of the others. The girl is kinda cute imo the way she dances.


I also saw the confession and embrace coming. It's a route after all. Cute/5

The much hotter scenes from the manga are out but not bad anyway (though it is again much too short).

Reminds me of K-On...

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Pretty good episode.
1 episode per girl isn't too bad.
It's just their isn't an arc with Yuuko Uchida who is the most interesting.

I agree with Stark700, i like the OST this episode. Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can find out the names of those OST (one during the pool scene, and the other just before the ending song)?

This episode was sort of cute, I like it. Not that it had much of story but it was well-done slice-of-life that reminded me of few VNs I have played before.

And finally, Rinaboobs next time, I can't wait :D

Well, and the last one after - it would be his sister or some ending summary? Or hell, I forgot - Tomoe.

AFter the "introduction arc", all other episodes build upon it but are standalone. SO, each episode right now is what would happen if he decides to chose that specific girl. Speaking in VN terms, each episode right now stands for the route of one girl. Not that hard to understand.

Actually, I kinda like that format, because it means there is at least one episode for the right girl (who that is is different for every person).

Great episode!!!

I was looking forward to Sakura Mai's arc and it was pretty enjoyable especially when she forces Maeda to eat a lot of food in her stead. She also dived and represented certain foods which was pretty cute. Oh and that biting scene was so hilarious and it must have been embarrassing for her. Good to see that she is trying hard even though she didn't pass the qualification round. The scene where Sakura went to Maeda's house was funny and I liked how she used the magazines as a way of getting him to do things to her will as this has made Maeda eat his own medicine for when he used the same style on Muroto Aki. The bed scene felt a bit weird but the confession scene was decent and pretty good.

I'm still pretty surprised how they manage to fit one episode for one girl but you can see that they just showed you briefly some images of when they went on dates so it kind of summarizes everything very quickly. Uchida really is an interesting character and I'm still thinking that there may be a surprise at the end of this series with her as a potential main focus.

Looking forward to seeing Yunoki Rina and her arc in the next episode!!

5/5

Yeah, this series is proving disappointing to me, although I don't know what to expect from an anime adaptation of a game with many routes.
The episodes deal with the romance, not so much any conflict. I actually thought this series was about photography initially, so I was enjoying the first couple episodes.
This is my opinion, though. On the other hand, at least it has this relaxed feeling.

ROFL, I thought I was the only one who thought that angle was very odd.

This was my anticipated arc, and it went well. The fanservice wasn't overbearing and kept a really pure sense. Mai looks good in floppy brown bunny ears.

I have two complaints though. One, it was only an episode long when childhood friend got 2. Two, their initial reason for becoming closer was downright stupid. She fell in love with him because he ate her food for her? My goodness, at least come up with something better.

Next week is cow udder girl. Bleh.

I was looking forward to Mai's arc and now I am quite disappointed. This episode had its cute moments, but that's pretty much it.

Did the next girl even appear in the first four episodes? I can't remember her at all.

At this point.. when one compares the format style of Amagami .. its just so much better (even if they didnt go for the true endings in each route ~.~) but this route style I just dont like it.. they could have easily gone 25 episodes and this would be a much better series for it.

Yup. I knew ever since the anime started that Mei would be my favorite girl, second place is for... umm... I dunno remember her name but it's the blue-haired girl from the other photo club. Anyways, I still think 1 episode per girl is too little, it feels like the anime runs each arc :/

I'm not gonna lie I had been waiting for this arc for ages and way to disappoint me. The first half was bearable but the romance in the 2nd half was so cliche and cheesy it was painful.

Watch Amagami or Yosuga no Sora. This show really doesn't do the omnibus format any favors. It can be pretty decent if you pull it off well.

There's 13 eps actually(dunno why MAL entry is still not fixed), so there's still a chance to get 1 for her(I so hope for this)

Mai is so cute!
And not only does she read dirty magazines, she also blackmails!
And she eats her Senpai.

Yay, pictures of Mai!

So, there's no beach in this episode, but there is a pool.
Maeda really has something for swimsuits, but then again, so do most guys.

No matter how innocent he may be, Maeda is really a pervert.
And whenever he's in a perverted situation, he knows how to act fast.

So, Niimi --> Sanehara --> Muroto --> Nonoka --> Mai.
I guess the last one will be Misumi.
But for now, the next episode is Rina Yunoki!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Rina is the least interesting girl for me personally. I just don't like such a type. But there would be a lot of Yuuko which compensates it.

Mai may be really cute but her route had no impact whatsoever; really none. A waste of a route one could say.

Seeing as the next episode will be dedicated to Rina, there's two of my personal choices I'd like to see take the last one. I wonder which girl it will be though...

This series has been pretty boring. Not only is there only one episode for each girl, much of it is focused on taking pictures of the girl rather than relationship development. I understand that taking pictures was part of the game, but I don't think it is that necessary for the anime.

The childhood friend arc had a good feel to it, so that length should have been the way to go IMO.
