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.

>>280563051
Hot damn, appreciate it anon.

>>280563051
So finally Tenzen gets his first shirtless scene in the show. Therefore this is also the first time all 3 guys are shirtless together

>no bweeh

If the other girls don't get plenty of cameos on Shiroha's arc, we riot. Riot, I say!

Shiroha is BEYOND unsexy.

I hope they adapt the bathing with Umi scene

How to possibly recover from this?

>>280564052
Pretty sure this route is the last chance for this.
Well, Alka has one but the regular ones more funnier

>>280564264
>>280564304
She's adorable

i miss mugyu

I’ll be in anyone’s debt if a stitch is made of the shirtless scenes today, especially the Hairi shot after he strips

>>280563200
wdym fang-bro is literally wearing a tuxedo the whole time

>>280564607
What’s the deal with that actually? They didn’t explain why he and Tenzen had their bodies painted

>>280564061
I can help, for a price.

The sunflower wilts...

>>280564127
Is she fully retarded now?

>>280564715
Missed the chance to make a Nayuki reference, which VN also missed

there's definitely a discord group going at it. they've been mostly in ruri no houseki threads

Does her VA only do 1 voice? Not that I'm complaining since her voice is good.

Shiroha tradwife!

Oy Vey
What the fuck Japan?

>>280570642
she always sounds the same

>>280570642
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.

>>280570722
Do they still not understand it's Deja vu?

Kamome anal

Shiroha sodomy

>>280571521
It's not, the joke is that someone mispronounced it early on and he just keeps using it that way instead of saying deja vu correctly

>>280564061
Why must she suffer like this?

>>280571918
So it's Heja pu like in the VNs.
Why are the subs retarded?

Did Hairi really go shirtless in the VN because of a tiny watermelon piece going down his shirt?

>>280573217
No.

Shiroha won bigly

I have been enjoying the last 2 arcs more than the first 2. But is he just having "groundhog day" but instead of a day its the summer and its just what would happen if he pursued the different characters?

>>280577917
>i'm only pretending to be retarded
Kill yourself.

>>280577685
I miss her so much bros...

>>280579182
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

>>280579613
I think that's pretty neat, Im definitely enjoying that changeup from the usual way

>>280579475

Deja vu mispronounciation. It's supposed to be Heja pu.

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.

Is being retarded part of her plan?

>>280582149
OF COURSE.
But nah, it's even more dumb.

>>280571671
washboard

Is Shiroha the foot slut of the series?

>>280582149
yeah I dont get it, she doesn't even try to push Hairi to Shitroha in any other routes , she just go play all day every day doing Shimamon

So like, after the next 3 episodes, then what? Each one seems to have a 4 episode arc, what the hell are the next 8 for?

>>280582783
True route, it's this series version of afterstory in clannad or refrain in little busters.

>>280582149
>>280582405
>>280582698
her brain is filled with nothing but fried rice recipes, please understand

>>280573861

>>280583485
yes, the homo anon won

>>280581904
What you don't even understand?
>>280582149
That's why beginning with Shiroha and finishing with the random girls superior

>>280580458
Keyno.

>>280582149
>>280582698
It wouldn't be real love that way.

>>280582930
We get 8 episodes of Hairi and Kamome's pirate adventures? They are spoiling us!

The green one has an arc too right?

How bad is this show? Worth waiting for the BD rips?

>>280584797
Then what's the point of looping

>>280584928
Only in the reflection blue

>>280558091 (OP)
Why I keep hearing Yuni (pricon)
I don't remember her voice was this similar when I played the VN aged ago.
Is the VA getting lazy?

>>280585816
I only read the original VN (not Reflection Blue)
Which new girl has the best route?

>>280583485
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.

>>280587546
Oppai

>>280587546
Shiki>Umi>Miki>Shizuku

I just Umi to be happy, /a/.

>dude paints a shirt on just to technically be wearing a shirt
He is clearly too high IQ for the violent country bumpkin and her rurus of society

>>280587552
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?

>>280588294
I think it was the one of the 3 choices for Ryouichi's paint. I don't remember the 3rd one though.

>>280588351
I guess 3rd choice was something on Hairi then? It would track with what we saw today

>>280588413
Actually, nevermind. The body paint scene has Ryouichi just trying different outfit designs.
I don't remember where Tenzen's writing is from.

>>280564669
So that they can be shirtless without Nomiki shooting them for public indecency

>>280574565
For me, it's Ao.

>>280574565
I'd fuck all of them but the routes so far have been embarrassing even by KEY's low standards.

>>280585011
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.

>>280574565
Tenzen

>>280585011
It's 2 cours of a 60h vn so it's rushed, but not a complete disaster unlike most vn adaptations. It looks like they've been saving up screentime for the main heroine so I hope the second half is gonna be better.

>>280589867
>popup shop again
Post all of them, anon

>>280585011
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.

>>280589867

>>280589176
Well it’s easier to figure out Ryoichi without any context, it’s Tenzen that I’m more confused by since this feels ooc for him

It's fine like this since making it an omnibus makes sense storywise.
