Oh my god... JC Staff, I love you, you manage to make this route ending both emotional and enjoyable, thank you! (And you placed Song for Friends correctly!) I really like the snow effect they did during the conversation between Kurugaya and Riki, it made the scene that much better. Now that we are done with Kurugaya's route, it's now time for the main story, I can't wait :)

At the end of ep.3, Riki wakes up, opens window and he smiles.
Rage!! Riki, Kurugaya cried so much, how could you forget it and smile like nothing ever happened.
So cruel.

Well, probably because he literally forgot everything?

Yes, I know he literally forgot everything and it isn't his fault but I still think that's too cruel.

YES!!!

That was soooo gooood!!!! SOOOO Beautiful!!! Dem Feeeeels!!!

Thank u JC!!!!

I teared up so much TT __ TT

Yuiko's smile is <3<3<3<3

Kyousuke in the Rain T^T

But, to tell the truth this ep won't be as emotional to anime only watchers.

It's gonna affect VN players more imo. Because we know why she's talking like it's the last time...etc

Bravo JC! Bravo!! Brilliantly done!

And they did it without romance too. I didn't expect them to be able to pull it off but they did wonderfully :*)

Also Dat OST placement was really great. Song for friends with the snow visual affects at the end was damn GOOD!! DA FEEELS! My heart! My tears T_T!!

Nxt up...Rin and Riki. Dat PV. Dat Hype!! :D

Good adaption of her route by JC; KyoAni wouldn't have done any better (they would just air the same episode 20 times again)

Next episode the romance will commence...small chance we might still get (21)(21)hunters

This was a really great episode. Good placement of imagery and music all around, esp the somewhat expected Song for Friends ED. The recently revealed episode count is disappointing, but JC Staff bringing their A-game in each ep thus far is encouraging. Hopefully the hits keep coming.

The fact that people are ok with Refrain being 13 episodes shows how well JC Staff has done this series thus far. Plus, people are liking Refrain before Refrain has already started. Isn't that proof enough that JC Staff isn't batshit stupid? I mean, they managed to do Kurugaya's route without the romance! Everyone said that was impossible, but it somehow made MORE sense without the romance!

I didn't play the VN so it's hard sometimes to follow and understand the story, but it sure was a very sad episode, the last two episodes made me like Kurugaya more and more... and now they take her away just like that... that's unfair :'(

It's fine to be lost at this point. Everything will make sense in Refrain.

This is what Refrain deals with (not really a spoiler; it's like saying Rin is the main heroine lol)


(And good job for vn readers not to spoil anything, I like to lurk episode threads for anime only watcher's speculation, etc.)

Damn, this episode.... I.... I don't what to say here.... it's just simply beautiful. That ending scene and Kurugaya's route were emotionally satisfying.

And the end of Kurugaya's route, I got to say that was an impressive three episode route of hers. Next episode Riki and Rin.

The 13 episode count news is a little scary...

But as a VN reader they did a really good job fitting Kurugaya's route into 3 episodes and they even managed to remove the romance but still make it emotional, which I thought would be very hard to do.

I remain cautiously optimistic and I hope they can pull this off.
