These girls are too fun to be around, but the MC gets the end-of-the-stick. Whatever, MC gets to experience a lot of things... lmao

P.S. So that's why Shiroha's voice is too familiar, she's voiced by Chika and Roxy's VA!!! 🥲

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I usually don't have the main girls of Key as my favorites, except for Misuzu from Air who is my favorite female protagonist of Key, but Shiroha is surprising me a lot, I'm liking her more than I thought I would, I expected her to be cold like Mai Kawasumi or Kanade Tachibana, but she's a mix of Dandere, Kuudere, Tsundere and Chunnibyou, for now I'm liking all the girls but Shiroha so far is the best girl in my opinion, she's very beautiful and funny, I'm loving her moments and I can't wait for the revelations about her.

@purpurpickle I'd say it is just alright. At least, adaptation-wise, the pacing is much better than Little Busters'.


Then again, it is much better to see once we reach the heroine routes then we will see how they will handle the pacing of the heroine routes. Handling common route's pacing should be easy.

Another great episode, wow the studio seems to really know what they're doing. The visuals were great, the character introductions were amazing, I love Kamome too.

Studio Feel is doing a great job, as good as how P.A works would do on any Key adaption.

I'm genuinely loving this show, I think this will be my favourite from this year
@hypexleaks Agree. So far, adaptation-wise, Feel did better at adapting this compared to JC Staff's Little Busters.

However, I'd like to see how Feel will adapt the heroine routes.

The best girl has finally been introduced! They starts with Kamome's route and I am very happy about that. This was another 5/5 episode, I'm loving this adaptation so far

Kamome's cute too, glad we got to see more of her this episode! The radar thing Shiroha was doing had me cracking up, lol, and then Hairi had to react the way he did, haha!x'DD Glad they made up (?) afterwards though. I'm also thinking the friend Kamome keeps talking about might be Hairi himself, since he says the Higeneko cat reminded him of something and specifically said it made him "nostalgic". That was quite the adventure for our duo this episode, with the suitcase getting carried around everywhere. Iirc her thing was research on pirates and based on her design and motifs, I'd say that's probably true. Curious to see what will happen next episode, will they ride a pirate ship? That would be one heck of an adventure if so, lol!xD> Poor Shiroha, not only was she embarassed at the reservoir but they also didn't have the popsicle she wanted.. I'm still wondering who was the lady in kimono the kids found collapsed, will we know more about it later, I wonder? I'm also curious in exploring more about Hairi's trauma, since Kamome says he can't swim but he clearly knew how, and from what we know, he swam back in his hometown, so more info on that would be appreciated, as I'm sure it plays out a major role in the overall story. Pretty good episode once again, and I love how Umi-chan won't bend over about the fried rice being an integral part of each meals, lol! At least it got fancier this episode with FREE crab!!>:D9

I really liked the episode except for the part where he almost drowned, and 2 minutes later it was like “well I guess we’re back to normal”. That was totally jumping the shark and I wasn’t expecting it.

But I love new girl. And white hair girl goes into chunni mode and embarrasses the hell out of herself, that was just epic.

So is he going to start “dating” any of these hotties? There’s already a little jealousy floating around. This is rated 12+ so it’s not going to get too racy, and that’s good.

Good episode, although seeing Hairi fall into the water again, I expected her to return home like that and have a new "Kyaaaaaaaaaa" from Umi, well, it didn't happen.

@NakigePlayer It did in the game, but I guess they have to shorten it in the adaptation.

SHIKI MENTIONED 😭🙌
I am so glad they kept the Shiroha at the reservoir scene because it's so funny seeing her otaku it out. I'm pretty sure all of us would just jump off a cliff if we were caught acting like that in private.

Guess we starting with Kamome's route which is nice. Very self-contained and simple but a good jumping point for the rest of the story. Plus Kamome is really cute in animation.

@JJT1407

Is this the scene where Umi and the kids find a girl in the kimono?

@raisin-kun

Wonder how they're going to fit any of the RB scenarios if they are going to add them in since last episode's opening shot sort of (?) confirms Alka route is being adapted.


I believe blending Miki's and Shizuku's routes on a linear storyline towards Alka route is doable. I don't know about Shiki's route because how her route started is similar to Little Buster's Saya's route. So unless they will change some parts on Shiki's route, particularly on how they will blend her route to the linear anime storyline by changing its beginning or it will be adapted as OVAs, like Little Busters EX routes were adapted as OVAs.

I still don't know what's going on and what's gonna happen but I am enjoying every moment. My head is just filled with questions.

I feel like Hairi was in that summer camp when they were little, and I think Kamome really knows him but just doesn't say anything... the treasure chest having multiple locks probably means more people are part of it and I like to think that it's usually the main characters (tho Kamome and Shiroha looked like strangers)

Spending the whole day pushing a beautiful girl sitting on top of her suitcase, wish that were me

And the sky was blue huh

Okay, so the reason why Kamome's first encounter was not included in the first 2 eps (prologue) is because they put it in this ep to start her route/scenario in the adaptation. Def makes sense. And confirming that ALKA will be included in this based on ED, ig I would continue it already to have a whole grasp of the remaining scenario before it comes on screen for better understanding.

Also, don't forget how cute Shiroha's rei gun is! Damn, it's like fresh from the VN and it's so much hilarious since you can see the animation of her blushing from embarassment LMAO

Now, unto Kamome's story, Captain Kamome, off we go!

Hairi and Umi's time together, while being still cool on its own, it's Shiroha acting on her own that gets the embarrassment from Hairi, though having to chant her local lord's curse make her more a Chuunibyou kind of character. And the coincidence of meeting Kamome Kushima with her luggage stuck into a drain, with the surprise that she knows Hairi's name already beforehand, though pushing the luggage while her sitting on it just emits a princess feel alright. Even more so, Kamome's carefree and daring personality just leaves Hairi having his PTSD once again, this time having to save Kamome out of the ocean, though she does the saving in his stead instead.

Yelp, Hairi seeing the "heavens" with Kamome's underwear is just so apt lol. But more than that, it's the craving of adventures that she wants to do, and dragging Hairi along only to find Shiroha next to a gacha machine and looking on the capsule toys, she's just that of an airheaded girl. But the way that she remembers her Summer camp with the Higeneko cat mascot, the flag, a treasure chest and a diary that has kept 10 years of memories, it's memories that she remembers and tagging Hairi along, for the first of their many adventures together. And since she can't part from the luggage, Hairi being the servant to transport Kamome back to the port, these two are already hitting off quite well from the get-go.

For now, Hairi's resonance with Kamome feels solid, though Shiroha's is fleeting on and off.

So far, it feels like a set up for a cry-fest. Expected no less from the wonderful folks over at Key.

Childhood friend, eh? Given how our MC is getting all those nostalgic vibes, there’s clearly something here…

feel. doing a great job getting the themes and feel of the show, I’m glad I left a few eps for binging.

Finally, Kushima! She made a brief appearance in episode 2, but now we know who she is. I like how she takes advantage of Takahara to push her around while she sits on a suitcase!

In my opinion, Kushima is the face of this anime — I wouldn’t be surprised if most people came to watch just because of her, especially those who don’t know the game or visual novel. Whatever the case.

I don’t have many comments. Let’s move on to episode 4... Here are the best frames I saw in this episode:



I love slice-of-life works.
