Nice to see Shin and Heroine get some screen time but otherwise, I think their relationship is a bit awkward. A meh episode and funny thing is that Orion isn't present at all this episode. Heh, I wonder where he is now.

Kakkii's character realizing about her lost memory and helping her with filling out the memory, with the help of Hino-san's character. So it's different timeline because the owner of the shop is in different personality, too, and somehow different settings.

Orion's back (slightly) at the end?

They changed lots of things in this episode compared to what happened in the game, though the basic concept itself is still the same.

Basically they're filling the heroine memories. I guess probably this is just some kind of a lucid dream where the heroine recalled her memories of what happened in this timeline when she passed out after falling down the cliff in previous episode.

I like it when Orion is mia. >_>

Simple timeline to summarize:
Orion shows up > unstable memory for few days > memory becomes stable > goes to trip > falls down cliff > enters parallel world while Orion is mia

I assume that she is in a parallel world due to the several changes. Thus, I believe that everything she sees is corrent (no fake memories, etc).

So is it safe to assume that she wasn't in a relationship with Shin in the previous world? (Conclusion drawn from episodes 1 and 2)

Umm, Quite nice, I guess but over all this whole episode there are that I missed alot like Orion or the strict personality of Waka and Ikki and Kent! :( I want Shin's route but I dont want some things to disappear :P :( Im disappointed but did like Shin's kiss move
. Somehow its moving along well but VERY SLOWLY. I mean how can you finish a stinkin route with a very slow development and I dont want Shin's route to have some sort of bad ending because of the universe time travelling thingy or I dont want it to move too fast which will end in disappointment and failure for me or anybody :( Hay~.......... I WANT THE SUBS ALREADY!

Haven't watched this episode yet but I quite get the idea. :)

@Shih: I agree. Since she does not seem to have a boyfriend with any of the staff in that world...



Yup! No false memories. They should be from a different world.
Hint: Waka is the best indicator for that. ^^'

Looking forward for more episodes! >w<

@Lulexiaa: mia meaans missing in action. :)

Yeah, the timeline theory is really starting to make sense. I'm guessing that that way they will animate all the routes? Or at least the most important ones?

OK, what the f**k have they done to my darling Waka-san?! If he continues on like this, I may have to drop this show!

The heroine was in a band? That must have been one hell of a snooze fest whenever she took the stage.

I'm sure the heroine's "accident" involved Shin trying to kill her. He probably couldn't take any more of her dishrag personality and threw her off the cliff. That's really why he can't/won't talk about it. LOL!!

I think this anime is slightly interesting(?) it's hard to really say how I feel about it to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if anyone dropped it because it really makes absolutely no sense at the moment.

I'm assuming that there is some huge grand epic fabulous plot and it will be epic when it comes out and the series is over but it's kinda hard to enjoy the series when things don't make sense lol...

This is quite an interesting show. From brief conversation with Ukyou while he talks about "this time", I take it he's aware of all these timelines.
Gotta feel sorry for the Heroine, though. She's getting thrown into all these worlds and getting her memories all messed up... Does this chick even know what her name is?
Well, I also feel kinda bad for Shin. His girlfriend suddenly doesn't know who he is. But the rest of the guys will probably have to go through that, too.
If it's not in red, I won't believe it.

I liked this episode. Shin is so cute. I can't even. I'm glad they're doing his route (for now I guess? Since he's technically the canon guy. Him or Ukkyou, but I like Shin better honestly)

I liked Heroine (can we come up with a name for her it feels awkward calling her Heroine) better in this episode. She had more. Of a. Personality? I feel horrible for Shin. TT___TT

Compared to the last couple of episodes, this one was much better.

I can't understand why this Anime is only at a 7.00 score right now...I mean, as a person who does not know anything about the original material, it's just incredibly intersting how confusing all of the events are, about parralel timelines probably it's just...awesome!
Really liked that episode as well.
Raised my current score from 8 to 9/10 as of now.

Me too! I really like this kind of anime! Looking forward to the next episode!! :D
I hate the word “fate.” Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that’s all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a future and the only certain thing was that we wouldn’t amount to anything. - Takakura Shouma

This is actually pretty fascinating. I wanna see more of the green haired guy Ukyo, he seems really cool and seems to be the most knowledgeable on whats going on right now.

I... Don't like Shin. He's kind of bland. No real personality.

And that heroine a performer? Made me laugh. I can't see her singing onstage.

This show is getting less and less interesting with each episode... and more and more complicated. I didn't want to drop this anime, but i'm starting to think about it.. i'll have to wait a few more episodes. But i almost always finish what i start, and since this has only 12 episodes, i think i will last.

Finding out this was a visual novel for the PSP definitely makes me want to go play it. I have no knowledge of the source material and I'm really enjoying the anime so far! I find it interesting. As for the pacing being slow, I think I want it to move faster just because I want to know what's going on! I do like that the audience is just as confused as the Heroine because its a delightful device to keep us anxious.

I missed Orion in this episode. He's so cute!

I started getting lost from the second episode and now I'm even more confused.. I'm assuming she's in a parallel world or something, but she is definitely taking this "Shin killed a person" thing too seriously. Man, if I were her I would think twice before pushing him away!!

The story is becoming really interesting. I have learned about the route on the Otome game and the canon pairing but I am pretty curious to see how they would interpret the parallel time thing into the anime. The mystery aspect grabs me on the get-go; I hope they could keep this up or make it much better. If you are confused or feel let down do not drop this series yet -- it is still too early for that. The twist would be really worth your while so just hold on and give this anime a chance.

Purely basing off on the series to understand the plot isn't enough for me as i don't have any clue on the story itself (in this particular show) Its rather interesting but im really lost lmao. Does the heroine travel in time? I bet that Ukyo guy is behind of all of her whatsoever since he's the Joker. did i got that right?

Is this some Steins;Gate meet memory loss plus romance? lolol

Here's my VERY loose theory.

I don't think the green-haired cameraman is a real person. Or if he is or was, perhaps he's the ghost of the person Shin killed in the heroine's previous memory. I'm hesitant to say that because the guy seems to disappear and re-appear all over the place. I can tell you right now he's probably the key to figuring out this whole mess.

What's her name btw? Have they mentioned it yet?

If the anime is going through every route then it's actually possible for me to just watch the episodes/routes I like the most.

As much as I loved the game and the heroine, I have to agree with the others that this could have been adapted better for the new audience but so far I'm happy at the studio's work.

And for those who are seriously annoyed/angered by Orion, I would recommend dropping the series coz he's going to stay for a loong time.

General (and vaguely spoilerish) outline of the routes for those who are wondering:

Very eerie atmosphere, really fits the series. I wonder what is going on (just like she is)- the past has changed.
It's a little boring, the pace this series is moving at, but I guess I shouldn't expect her or the viewers to figure everything out this early on.
The ending was okay, I didn't really feel any emotion, even though there were two interesting things. One, Shin is not ready to talk (and is probably hiding something important), and two, Orion is heard once again.
So, we'll see where things go from there.
4/5.

As someone who hasn't gone through the VN/Otome, I'm pretty impressed thus far (and still a bit confused--which is a good thing in this instance). I'm curious to see just what personality the heroine has when she regains her memories, although her present situation just makes me want to wade in and do something to help her.
Please don't feed the trolls!
