today's episode preview
EPISODE 15 "Girl Who Forgot Her Summer Vacation"
A repeating summer--Shiroha Naruse is practicing swimming alone at the pool at night when she meets Hairi Takahara, who has come to Torishirojima to help with his late grandmother's belongings.
For "a certain reason", Shiroha keeps her distance from the islanders and remains a loner. Whether knowing that or not, Hairi persistently closes the distance between them, and before long, she starts to care about him.
Hairi tells Shiroha that he had forgotten how to spend his summer vacation. He says that coming to Torishirojima has made him remember his childhood and excited him. As Shiroha listens to Hairi's story, she too begins to remember a sparkling, dazzling summer vacation she spent with her friends when she was young.

The problem is she starts getting pre-emptively cast into the roles. Like if a director has to cast a kuudere loli, his mind immediately associates her voice.

it's just the experience of playing a VN where the choices matter and you have to beat all the routes in order to unlock the true end and start the game from the beginning each time
it's better than some anime where they just adapt the heroine routes verbatim but leave out the part where they fall in love and have MC move onto the next girl the next episode

We finally get her story? Can't wait to find out what tragic thing happened to her.
That is some fine QUALITY swimming animation.
Panties and bra.
Weird place to hide.
Cute girl deprived of her favorite snack.
Look at her go, surprised she isn't moving backwards.
>yikes
Sure have been seeing this used a lot lately and ever time it's not accurate to what was said.
What a cute kid she was.
Best girl Umi here.
She really stepped up her game, prepwise.
Will he ever clean the shed or is that how he gets out of the loop?
The fish was more than harmed.
This water gun segment doesn't make sense. He did nothing to her, even bought her the melon bar.
She's cute if a bit odd. Good episode overall though.

Shirtless is Ryouichi's schtick. In the VN he has 3 design choices in painting his body and teases Nomiki since he's technically wearing clothes. She got pissed and sprayed him until the paint falls off and since he's not wearing the paint, he gets shot even more.

I had a hunch that he was trying some BS to get past Nomiki. The scene you described sounds funnier than what we got but I guess there had no where else to put it so we got what we did. What about Tenzen though; why did he have a love confession painted on? Was that something Ryoichi came up with too?

What's your tolerance for keyshit? Because this is like a heavily concentrated dose of it. Every character archetype and nakige trope that comes to mind when you think of key is here and turned up to 11, at points it almost feels like a huge self-referential parody. It's like the FF9 of keyshit.

None of the resolutions have really made much sense thus far, the final episode seems to speedrun the last ~5 hours of each girl's route so all the PLEASE CRY NOW reveals as well as the ending and wrap up feels stupidly fast-paced and thoroughly lacking. They're also retreading all of KEY's greatest hits like
>>280589543 said, so if you're even vaguely familiar with their works then none of these scenarios will feel very new and exciting. Even the overarching metaplot with the loli is heavily lifted from their most popular work.
