Siva said: Your reply is not really a reply. Just a pretext for your rant and I am surprised that you actually came this far in the series so far. Simple mind? Yeah sure, nobody says that in a fantasy you need to have complex and realistic characters!!Ressamp said: It is just a simple show with simple mind characters. What make it so much more dumb than a story about the whole world have to rely on one idiot character to save it?I honestly think that the only way that this series could have functioned was if it was at least four episodes per heroine. And if the story was written a little better. Otherwise, everything else is actually alright. Hey, this arc wasn't bad though. Even if it was a 1-episode arc. Still the dumbest thing I've seen in this anime yet - stuffing an entire route into a single episode. |
| 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. |
| I don't know how did you take on my comment but my point was not to say anything about the show itself but rather to Ressamp who was saying that this show is dumb in which I didn't find what was so dumb about the show. On the other hand, I never categorized the word "simple" as something like "bad" or below average. And being simple can be special on its own. On one more hand, IMO, this show may not be a masterpiece nor the best of its kinds but this show really has its moments and fun to watch. |

| ^ Thanks for the clarification. My bad for reading it the wrong way (I thought you don't like this show). The reason why I didn't think that you reply is a reply is because the "dumb" he was talking about is about how much is squeezed into one episode (while shows like Amagami SS has one arc with 4 episodes) while the "dumb" you talked about is more like the series being simple with simple minded characters. But what you said is also true in Amagami SS but that is a show that Ressamp would not put as "dumb" as this show because it did not do what PhotoKano does here - namely, "stuffing an entire route into a single episode". So it seems to me that you are talking about a different "dumb" from what Ressamp was talking about. This is why I said your reply is not really a reply. |

| Well, I think I wasn't being clear enough with the first post. As for Ressamp's comment, I guess he was expecting a little more or better. Honestly I never checked his list because I stopped doing that kind of thing long time ago since I found it ridiculous to use someone's weakness to attack them. Also, no value was lose so don't feel bad about it. |

| Maaan great episode! I knew Muroto has a soft side :) one of the best and cute episode of Photokano ! |
| Tch. |
symbv said: Well it was a part of me that was at fault for not trying to understand his whole post due to the fact I was tired and sleepy. But I still believe that this one single episode is not dumb as he meant it. I think he believed that more episodes will make this arc better which I didn't see that was really need.Not sure why you think you needed to check his list because all I got is he is enjoying the anime somewhat but just hates the idea of cramping the whole route into one single episode. While we are at it, I will try to say something more. I really don't think that most of Amagami SS's arcs are any better than this one episode either. Most of Amagami SS's arcs are pretty about doing random thing around the school and then having a conclusion and hardly has any deep in them with the exception of Tsukasa's arc. Furthermore, Muroto's arc did not just start in this episode even though her main issue just started now in this episode but her arc has been started since the first episode. The style of this show is hardly the same Amagami SS as people were talking about and instead PhotoKano is more like Yosuga No Sora anime with the style of tree's branch. On the other hand, the quality of a short story/arc doesn't lie on the length it should be but rather the quality of the writing of the writer. You can check "Otona Joshi no Anime Time" for your example, its arc only started and ended with just one episode of 25mins long and still can make you go "WOW" once you finished it. I am pretty sure you don't even need those examples. But my point was that this one episode is not as dumb as he meant it to be. |

| @Siva I can see why you think Amagami SS's arcs in the anime is not any better than the one episode arc here. A short arc of course can be good if it cuts out the frills and makes the main story more focused and compact. On the other hand, I just think that the "dumb" he used in his post is not a comment about the quality of the story but about the decision to compress so much. Surely compression can bring advantages, but the feeling I got with his comment is that he may be enjoying the story so much that he would dearly want to see more of it, which means less compression, and that he may even feel that it is a reasonable price to pay if it means the story is less focused and there are more random things happening around the school. Of course I am no him, so I could have misinterpreted but that is the feeling I had when I read his post. |

| I may as well interpreted it the wrong way. Therefore I see no point in making more post about it >__< I am pretty tired this week, so please allow me to take my leave and start enjoying my anime. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| First half was boring, second half was okay. Also Muroto-Senpai is probably my favorite girl in this series. Favorite arc so far. |
| Not my route. Next one will be better though. |
Misiakk said: Next one will be better though. |
 |
| Maeda's still blackmailing Muroto after all this time. Yay, pictures of Muroto! And those poses are wow! So, they take an illicit exit to go on an illicit "date". We also find out the truth about Muroto's illicit entry. It was for a good cause! Muroto can be cute! No beach for Muroto, but at least she's in her swimsuit! So, it really is about different routes. And up next is Nonoka! |
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. |
| Need more Muroto. Need much more Muroto. |
| This series is really stupid and creepy but it has its cute moments. I wish there was more romantic moments and less sexual harassment :/ |
 |
| I love entertain game based shows! This one proves just to be as solid as amagami and kimikiss...though I wished it was 24 episodes. |
| Well, sorta good ep but the story was very uncompelling, there was no drama in it and it felt so boring. |
| Great episode and Muroto-senpai looked very beautiful in her regular clothes. Despite having a flat chest she still holds her own against the other girls who have bigger chests. Also I believe Muroto-senpai is the first girl in this anime to wear casual pants when Maeda has been on a date with a girl. Sorry Muroto-senpai but Maeda's deep feelings are with his childhood friend, so no kiss for you. The date itself was pretty good, aquarium, dolphin show, not bad. I think her route was put into 1 episode because her graduation was around the corner and there was probably not enough time to put into 2-3 more episodes. I guess we'll probably see more of the girls arcs split into 1 episode. |
 |
| yeah muroto arc.. she is so pretty in this episode :3 in the end they're hugging quite romantice.. but the ending when muroto graduated she is crying to maeda.. kind of sad.. :3 nice episode btw.. looks like the next episode will be more interesting.. kanoko arc :3 |
| Muroto route down now who's up next mwhahahah. |
| Laaaame. |
| Corniness to the max, but apparently said: Muroto was so cute this episode, especially near the end after the graduation ceremony. Nono-chan NEXT! 3rd favourite girl Still doesn't change the fact that this anime sucks |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Phew, what a horrible episode. Skipped. |
| I'd say that she is defenitally my favorite girl of Photo Kano, and this was a very good episode, but her route wasn't as good as the last 2 routes :/ Still a very good episode though! :) |
Mich666 said: Well, sorta good ep but the story was very uncompelling, there was no drama in it and it felt so boring. this is what happens to visual novel adaptions that adapt arcs in under 4 episodes... |
 |
| This is my second favorite route. Just cute. |

| There's a right way to skipping school? Damn.. I've been doing it wrong all this time lol.. Muroto looks pretty without her glasses and her true self is more fun than her strict side.. I guess all girls have another personality than what they show.. The rest of the arcs would be like this huh.. Meh~ Next girl.. |
 |
| Nothing special but not too boring. |
 |
| Waaaaaa, best girl for now. |

| Terrific episode, even with the one episode arcs. Muroto was really pretty too. I'm starting to like this show. MC is acting tolerably too. |
