will umi-chan have her own set of episodes?

The endings to all the arcs so far have been so retarded that I'm amazed I haven't dropped this show yet, but I wanted to see what a Key VN adaptation looked like in 2025. Tell me, am I going to enjoy this last(?) arc?

>>281189549
yes

I'm still only 3/9 routes through the VN and currently playing tsumugi's route. I'm hoping to catch up by the end of the season to see the animated finale. Ao a best. Ao love.

>>281189942
good taste

Hey, it's today!

>try to play uncensored reflection blue
>can't get the region crack to work
I don't want to play the steam version.

>>281190050
What do you mean by uncensored? I tried a few different cracks and nothing worked for me except the steam version.

>>281190094
Steam version has some censored CGs and the UI is a downgraded ugly console version.

>>281190114
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.

>>281190222
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.

>Trying out the VN after watching the first few episodes
>Shiroha gets almost DOUBLE the amount of events
>Legit spend most of the time as a group when compared to the others
>Kamome straight up vanishes when doing Shiroha's events
I like her so that is lowkey a plus for me but fuck man, the bias is unreal. Couldn't they add a bit more to even it out?

kamome...

>>281192040
She's a cute freeloader.

Where the hell is Kamome in the other routes? Does she just evaporate halfway in?

>>281192238
That has to be very uncomfortable.

What is being adapted today? Is this a new route?

>they skipped this
>they skipped all the girls introductions with Umi being annoyed at them
>they skipped Hairi's mommy hunt which included both the guys being goofy and Kamome getting angry

>>281192300
Alka route (Gets unlocked after completing the heroines from the base version). The Umi route might get merged with the Alka adaption, two birds with one stone.

>>281192660
I don't see this happening judging by the episode names. Also the rebellion would be out of character for this Umi

>>281192660
Gotcha, I’m not familiar with that route so I’ll take it as it comes, thanks.

>>281192660
You sure Alka just need the base heroines? Pretty sure it needs all the girls routes cleared.

>>281192795
Shiki has like 3 shots of her in the OP.
They're fucking with the Bwehfags now.

2nd OP official https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8IeLiFTHK8

Comment from Kai, the VN director and the author of the song lyrics:
>フィニステラー, 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 フィニステラー 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 フィニステラー will resonate more and more with each passing episode.
>The title フィニステラー 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.

>>281192660
What does alka means?

>>281192918
>"the final star" [Finistellar]
Or I guess just Finistella fits better technically.

I miss Kamome so much

>>281188719
We won, Shikibros??

>>281188719
She was already in the 1st OP, bro...

>>281193160
oh yeah I forgor

>>281192634
Papa is the correct answer

Pregnant by me.

>>281192790
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.

>>281192790
I don't think so, I think you need all heroines except Umi (so 4 in the base game but not in RB).

>>281193375 (me)
Me again, I found a guide that pretty much covered my experience with the Visual Novel.
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.

>>281193375
Umi route is only doable until you finish a certain amount of routes since she degrades mentally.

Butt.

>>281193668
Need a clip with sound.
They did this part justice.

>>281194103
Cute dork

>>281193899
Fuck, I just remembered they cut Shiroha running away from Hairi multiple times and growling at him and just skipped to the end of it.

Thank you Summer Pockets for showing me how to spend summer, it's time to use everything I've learned!

Who is Umi obscuring?

>>281194615
they draw the high school girls so young already that I didn't realize this was supposed to be tiny Shiroha

>>281194639
I was waiting for this one...
Pretty sure it's the opposite side of the home screen of Reflection Blue.

Sex when

Last stitch.

mugyu

>>281194719
Yes, it's a great touch. It's not 100% accurate though because Umi's face would have to be obscured by her hair, but it's a better choice to keep it revealed here

>>281192634
Why can't Key get the Key formula right anymore? We just want funny comedy.

>>281193739

>>281192660
I assumed from the episode this was already the Umi arc.

>>281195057
no it's confusing but this is the ALKA arc. Umi arc is something else

Umi so cute...

wtf!

first 2 PVs had 400k and 600k views
PVs for each route had less than 100k views each
but the latest one has 1M
what did they do? I know the PV is pretty epic but I didn't expect people to suddenly start caring

>18th episode

>>281188679 (OP)
I waited 12 episodes for lewds of her and I had to drop it, is she getting lewds now?

>>281197244
She's incredibly intelligent.

>>281197574
Yes, the VNs include an Umi H-scene.

>>281197546
the exact opposite of women
pottery

>>281197496
Play the VN to understand why people like Alka.

>>281197496
People love Umi.

>>281197678
Is the VN better than the anime?

>>281197546
They sacrificed all the other routes to focus on Alka. Hope it's gonna be worth it.

>>281197731
Nta but yes. It's the bloody source material. Plus it offers a fair amount of variety without hardlocking you in into a step by step guide. Plus it's on steam and goes a notable amount of times on sale.

>>281197731
A lot better.
It's very rare for an anime adaptation to surpass than the vn source material.

>>281198045

>>281198074
I love Shiroha feet so much.

I really like the ED.
Nice detail that she's been using lots of pink, brown, and silver.

>>281188679 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in71vmhAbsg
It started, everyone let's chahan!

>>281197806
It probably is, Key games generally don't have strong character routes and the main route is where they shine.

>she's a JK so at least 16
>hisses at people she doesn't even know
The question isn't if she is on the spectrum but where she is on it.

>>281197075
Why does the daughter have different hair color with her parents?

>>281197593
I wonder why even make an adaptation if the ecchi parts are not included

>>281198448
He's lying, all they do is take a bath together.

>>281198407
They cut out the scenes where Hairi chases her multiple times asking her to be a mom. And he didn't mention Umi so Shiroha thinks he's harassing her.

>>281198469
Was there also a scene where Umi lifted her skirt for Hairi and Kyouko just happened to walk in or did my mind make that up?

what a fucking retarded take, I dont need to like every single route of a vn, same thing with the girls, I think the vn is good, I just dont like the routes of shiroha and umi, dont care if they are supposed to be the main girls and whatnot, that doesnt mean I need to like their routes

If I were to take your stupid approach to vns then I wouldnt have played any vns ever

JP twitter trends:
3. SamaPoke anime
16. Finis Teller
28. ALKA

>>281201709
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.

>>281201271
>>281201543
I get the feeling this is going to be a bittersweet ending isn't it.

So is the last episode going to have a modified OP with out Umi?

A lot of people would have dropped it by this point already after their waifu's route was adapted so its only really Shirohafags left. Threads haven't been reaching bump limit either since Shiroha became the focus.

No bweeh no watch

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.

>>281211538
>>281215962
They might change it up by making Shiroha taking the bath with her.

>>281215962
Alka has Umi request they all take a bath together.

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

Is this the famous Keyno?

It's teaching you that as long as you don't get a [no] just keep pushing for the [yes].

>>281217720
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.

>>281217720
That only works with retards and children

>>281219221
I can't wait for the ED song.

>>281214582
>Shiroha thighs scene next episode

so how exactly are they cutting Asterlore to 1:30 for the RB season opening

>>281220756
I don't think there's going to be a RB season.

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

My first impression of this bitch is not good.

>>281222838
Anime-only secondary here. How is she relevant to the story anyway?

>>281223169
the entire story wouldn't exist without her

>>281223169
She sacrifices herself for Umi.
>>281223273
That's Shiroha, bro.

>>281223169
She's not even in the original (that's being adapted now) so she's completely irrelevant.

>>281223297
>massive unmarked spoiler for no reason
retard

>>281223169
She's a DLC character

>>281223348
Shiki's not even in the anime.

>>281223446
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.

>>281223169
She saved the everyone

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

>>281224429
Just a shitty low-budget adaptation

>>281224429
>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

>>281223297
>>281223707
Holy fuck. We're going to see this in the Anime, right?

>>281224429
All Key anime adaptations used the base game as far as I know. Saya wasn't in little busters either.

>>281224727
Pretty disgusting to do the happy ending like that.

>>281224429
Anime was made too late

>>281226752
just realized loli ao and nomiki will probably get an animated scene

>>281226752
is there a reason why she sprays water at shirtless males?

>>281227255
Green hair maybe

>>281194399
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.

>>281226752
Green has the best genes to produce high quality lolis, her route when?

>>281227255
Because he's doing something illegal?

>>281224429
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?

>>281229237
Already dropped everything this season other than nukitashi and GaCen shoujo

>>281229237
CITY

>>281224429
Anon, they purged Kamome and Mugyu from the other girls' arcs. Why would Shiki get anything more than cameos?

OVA for Shiki when

3-hour long movie for a sequel to Kamome's arc when?

>>281229307
>watching GaCen
>but not watching Private Tutor
What a strange individual.

>>281230020
I dropped that already, apparently the hag will get more focus for the rest of the season

>>281229795
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

>>281230574
Shiroha just shows up randomly everywhere though.

Kamome milkies

umi-chan

>>281230752
shiroha is the best girl that's why

>>281232793
Kamome > Ao > Mugyu > Shiroha
Simple as.

>>281202948
Shame, Kamome gets cut so awkwardly..

Edited my computer monitor in

>>281232793
True. Also main heroine perks.

>>281233376
There's actually a Shiki or whatshername route?

>>281233832
Best route

>>281233885
What the fuck is this. Isn't Shiroha and Umi supposed to be the true end?
