Hmm I'd have to look into it a bit more because this is the first time I've heard about censorship but isn't it all ages? I can't imagine there's much to censor. And I think I just got used to it at this point but the UI seems fairly minimal to me. There's definitely worse out there.

There's more covering up, can't even have mild nudity or fan service. I played the original back in 2018, so I refuse to play a downgrade now even if just to check out the new routes. I hate this stupid region lock, I have the original in box version but couldn't even play it without a crack.

Comment from Kai, the VN director and the author of the song lyrics:
>γγ£γγΉγγ©γΌ, which was unveiled as the new opening theme for the ALKA arc, is, in a sense, an answer song to "Alka Tale".
>If "Alka Tale" represents hope, then γγ£γγΉγγ©γΌ represents determination. It's a song that aims to deeply resonate with those who have played the original game.
>At the same time, for those who were introduced to Summer Pockets through the anime, I believe γγ£γγΉγγ©γΌ will resonate more and more with each passing episode.
>The title γγ£γγΉγγ©γΌ was chosen for its double meaning: "the last storyteller" [Finiteller] and "the final star" [Finistellar].
>I hope that it remains in everyone's hearts as an unforgettable song when speaking of Summer Pockets.

I started the VN a month ago, the heroines from the main menu vanish if you finished their routes. I planned on finishing Kamome, Umi and Shiroha at the end. But once theyou enter the ReStart flag, Umi vanishes from the title screen, leaving only Kamome and Shiroha.

https://forums.fuwanovel.moe/topic/25413-summer-pockets/
For the original, only the four heroines are needed. For the Reflection Blue version, all seven of them. Umi's route is locked out when you enter the ReStart phase so if you play it do it early on before the main heroines or after the true ending.

You said you didn't like umi or shiroha routes but half of the anime is just them. Key games are always common route -> tacked-on heroine routes -> main focus true route. You not liking the true route just makes me wonder what you hope to get out of watching the anime. But your posts are full of hate so I guess spite watching really is the reason.

As someone who was unfortunately a child in such a family I completely understand why people don't get married anymore. Thanks mom you fucking whore.

That's the common route.
Alka also has it but I'm pretty sure Hairi doesn't do anything in the bath. Common Route version has them washing each other and caused Kyouko to worry.

Nah, Umi wants all 3 together in the bath but I'm pretty sure Hairi does nothing there unlike Common Route's.

They say that if you repeat something often enough then the person will eventually yield.
I know guy who kept pestering his crush until she agreed to go on a date with him. Years later, they are happily married.

I don't think there's going to be a RB season.

Playing through the Alka route, the revelation was kinda surprising.

She's not even in the original (that's being adapted now) so she's completely irrelevant.

Have some common decency when there's someone not even 5 posts earlier who literally said he just started the game WITH shiki in it.
ok but why was shiki deleted from the anime except for meme ass situations like the OP and ED
was her route unpopular or something
it has been like 5 years since i read the reflection blue (for just the extra scenarios) so please forgive me i am clueless

>because zoomers
>because no budget
>because they want to do her as a movie/OVA or in a separate RB season
pick one or more
they've been willing to add/modify stuff and pull from places like the short stories so maybe they could come up with some original way of doing an additional season that wouldn't just be 3/4 unconnected routes

All Key anime adaptations used the base game as far as I know. Saya wasn't in little busters either.

The elites don't want you to know this but the lolis on the street are free. You can take them home. I have 458 lolis.

Shiki, tits mcgee and green hair originally had no route. So the anime skipped those because it is adapting the first version of the game.
what other under the radar shows are you guys currently watching?

Anon, they purged Kamome and Mugyu from the other girls' arcs. Why would Shiki get anything more than cameos?

Kamome and Mugyu are not part of the main circle of friends so they don't appear a lot outside their routes even in the vn

What the fuck is this. Isn't Shiroha and Umi supposed to be the true end?
