THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


Well, I am sort of glad that Trent is getting a lot of highlights this episode even though I don't see him standing out too much. Still seems like a lot of mysteries around but Heroine sure looks good in that yukata :p

It's nice to see the two bond a bit and going to the festival. I lol'd @ that artwork that Heroine made to show Kent who Orion is. So I think this is his arc so going to see how this will move on soon.

I guess the heroine "died" in the end of this episode just because some random person bumped into her and she lost her grip which made her get into a car accident since the light's already red.

She really need to stay away from streets, she almost "died" to car accident in episode 2 and she really "died" in episode 4 and this one.

I wonder if Toma route will also only 1 episode just like Kent...

I think she didn't die. The most likely explanation is that the studio felt that Kent's route wasn't really integral to whatever plot they are pursuing and thus, ended it there to free up one episode to tie things together.

Honestly I think it's inevitable since Kent's route wasn't really exciting and it was the most "normal" otome route of them all. Not that it's a bad thing since I found it the second best route.

A more plot related explanation/theory is that:

A more unlikely explanation is Kent's route is a happy ending (massive spoilers)

Also, I honestly doubt Toma would get one episode because his route is memorable.

I think the situation is somewhat different. It seems that Kent is the least popular guy (at least among the players of the game), then his time has been reduced. Following this line of thought, Touma should have more time, since he is more popular character (at least among the players of the game).

I think she was going to die, because she would be hit by a car. I have understood that all routes have a bad ending (where she died).

The scene was kinda ambiguous and I can see how they might be hinting she gets run over by a car judging by the yellow lights but they were pretty unsubtle about her deaths, why not animate this one too? Unless they have it as a flashback next episode...

The game is infamous for its amount of bad endings but so far, her deaths were very very different from the anime, iirc:

She does get hit by a car in Kent's route but she survived it in the game. So maybe it was a reference to that incident?

IMO character popularity doesn't matter because the anime is mostly meant for people who have not played the game yet. Unlike the other routes which have an important driving question to them and also sheds light on some plot points

Kent's was just

So I thought if they are ever going to cut anything to make way for the plot, it would be Kent's route. And honestly what are they going to do in the 3 episodes for Toma?

1st episode -> Introduction I guess

I actually liked Kento and what do they do? Give him 20 minutes of screen time!
That was a really poor changeover into the next boyfriend too.
I hope there was a reason for the sudden switch, and not just "she got distracted and got hit by a car again."

Damn the way they prepare the death scene is very funny, because I always knew "Oh, she is gonna die again now". Even though I expected this arc to take 2 episodes, I knew it as soon aas I saw that traffic light to flash blue.
Anway, this character was the most intersting yet! Also...wasn't that Katsuras voice?
They should have included the following dialogue at the end:
"Ikimasho, Kent!"
"Kent ja nai. Katsura da!" XD

but, IT WAS SO DAMN SHORT!!
I wanted to see more of their relationship!! ;A;
and so, we notice, she told Kent/he used the same trick as Shin - discovering that she lost her memory. so, next arc will be all "Eh? Ah so..." and nothing will happen -.-
tsumanaaai!!

btw
my hands still hurt as I clapped so hard when I saw Toma <3

"Orion's clothing is strange."
Oh really, did you not see what everyone else is wearing?

Kent is smart and quirky, I like that, but Amnesia girl and show can't handle it.
Let's just give 1 episode to the first guy who actually bothered to talk to Orion to figure stuff out. :/

Kent has got to be the WORST boyfriend ever! But somehow, he seems perfect for the Heroine. He's also very smart. Finally, the Heroine gets to tell her side of the story and Orion gets some input too.

Now all it takes is for someone to bump into her and she's off to a new dimension? God forbid, she steps outside during 25 mph winds! She'll probably get blown into several dimensions 3 times over!

I don't know why, but I LOL'd over this.
That's the most personality she's shown since the start of this show.

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

I don't yet understand the anime. I thought she died in the previous episode, but somehow she returned as if nothing had happened. When Orion said to Kento the heroine was trapped in parallel worlds, I thought he would solve the prob finally. But then she drifted to other world again. What's the point of the anime as a whole? Even if she meets Kent again, it will be uncertain he remembers what Orion said, right? I'm lost.

Ah ok. Did she disappear in front of Kent when she drifted to other world and got caught by the other guy? Did Kent lose sight of her at the crosswalk suddenly? Or is she omnipresent in every world at the same time??

She either go hit by a car and died off screen, or randomly dimension jumped because

I can't really explain it well without going to massive spoiler territory so hang in there and enjoy(?) the next episodes without worrying about the supernatural stuff, at least for now.

What I found interesting is that Ukyo didn't make an appearance in this world, there wasn't a kiss scene either. I dot think Kento has any significant importance in her original life.

My theory:

So she has already died in Shin's world, she died in Ikki's world, and she died in Kento's world. I personally believe she has already died in her original life, and so Ukyo, her REAL boyfriend, is trying to snatch another one of her from each world, which is fu*king up the time an space of the boundary between worlds. This may be her last chance. Then that's where the climax comes in and all confusion is lost.

Yeah okay, give one of the best guys and the one that got the most personality and interaction out of Heroine one fucking episode. Here I am, thinking "hey, this wasn't all too bad" and BAM! Reset.

However.. Toma is absolutely adorable. I've been in love with that guy since I saw his face on the OP.

He likes surfing the internet, video games, and reading. Move out of the way Heroine, it's my time to self-insert into this shit and love this man.

Kidding, kidding, but really -- Toma just seems awesome. I'm such a girl.

I actually liked Kent...he's far more interesting than Ikki imo...and Ikki got like 3 episodes =_= Kent, although not good with emotions, I think is really interesting. He was so cute when he was patting the Heroine's head. Seems like he actually loves the Heroine. Too bad she's gone now. Man, I was finally liking this anime, but they're switching to another character already. Well from what I've been seeing, seems like Toma's part is going to interesting.

I'm not sure how the VN went, but looking at the anime only, I would say Ikki doesn't love the Heroine enough. Why? He's the only one so far that hasn't noticed that the Heroine lost her memories. Sorry, I just really dislike Ikki. Maybe because he doesn't look as good as the pictures I've seen of him from the VN.

I thought Toma would be a normal character. But I'm guessing that's not true from all the other comments...o_O

I think Kent was a better boyfriend too , imo even the second best one in the series, just because Ikki was so indecisive about telling his fangirls off. I think the problem with Ikki's depiction in the anime is that they cut off his bad ends which portrays how much he actually loved her aka

And about Kent noticing the heroine's amnesia I think it was because they had a strained/always arguing relationship prior to her amnesia. So ofc he's kinda suspicious why she's so quiet now when she almost always confronted him.

As for Shin, he's her childhood friend.

I've enjoyed this ep, but why only one with Kent? I'm pretty dissapointed with that.

I found he pretty cute~ the way he doesn't know how to handle a date, and that kind of things. I laughed so hard when he thought of the possiblity of she being abducted by aliens lol
Also that he was the only one with whom she was able to talk with complete honestly about the amnesia issue and even talk with Orion, I liked that, yes.

And maybe I'm slow or something lol but only after reading some of your post that I thought of the possibility that she dies every time she changes of world xD Also, I don't know anything about the game, only what is shown on the anime, so I hope things to be explained in these 5? remaining episodes.

Kento is definitely the most interesting character so far, and I thought they were so cute together too. Plus, with their level of interaction and conversation, we got to see more 'sides' of Heroine.

Well on to Toma next!!!
