Summer Pockets Episode 10 Discussion 246jz

Didn't like this route, couldn't feel anything towards mugyu girl since the mc barely spent time with her from our point of view. Hope the next route is better

I will be against my friends. I couldn't connect with tsumugi, her romance with the MC didn't make any sense to me at all. The previous route was much better built and more impactful with Plot Twist. It even surprised me by reading that you liked this route so much, maybe I'm a heartless man.

I give it a Mugyu/10 (fuck someone already said that, oh well lol), good job everyone, we really did it.

Jokes aside, this didn’t work for me. I think Tsumugi is really cute, I liked her moments with Hairi and Shizuku, and I really like the idea they’re going for with her being the summer itself, I think that’s cool and interesting. But I really didn’t like the plot itself, and no it’s not because I don’t understand it, I just think it’s dumb lol, I would have preferred if Tsumugi was an actual ghost and not some weird manifestation of a girl that’s in purgatory but is also her own person, woulda made it less convoluted imo. The episode itself didn’t really help either, you already knew she was leaving so it was just a matter of waiting for it happen, like the part where Tsumugi sang as a highlight reel played was basically “this is the part where you’re supposed to cry” to me. Don’t get me wrong, the song was cute and it was emotional, but because I already didn’t care for the plot itself and we already knew she was going away, it didn’t really hit with me.

Oh well, I guess they can’t all be winners, and more power to anyone that cried their heart out to this, I wish I could be there with you. And hey, Tsumugi apparently comes back every summer like summer itself, so no need to stay sad, I can at least appreciate a sweet ending. Comparing this to Kamome’s route, I think I like Kamome’s more as of rn, but even with my complaints I did still enjoy Tsumugi’s route, there was enough goodness in there to save it for me overall, and I’m excited to see who’s up next.

@TheColonel76 yeah part of the issue is they cut the conversation between Old Tsumugi and Summer Tsumugi. Old Tsumugi tells her not to worry about her and live her own life, which is why Tsumugi is back the next summer.

This route was my favorite in the visual novel, so I still cried a bit, but they needed more episodes. I think that with the allowance of four that they had, they did a good job, but that's as someone who read the VN. I can see why an anime only might feel like it felt awkward.

I do think I'm also able to enjoy parts of the plot more after seeing all of the routes. I felt that way about Kamome too, some of the story pieces made more sense. So I'm hoping after everything plays out people will appreciate these first two arcs even more.

@TheColonel76 ill agree that I don't really like her plot too much. however most of her route was having a fun summer with friends instead of a more heavy plot driven whatever thing like kamome's. The adaptation obviously has to cut most of the hanging out, and this really harms the emotional development for sure. (Kamome doesn't even make an appearance even though she spends a lot of time with tsumu-tsumu and the gang) I have to disagree with the knowing she's leaving thing making it worse though. It's what makes this route work powerfully well. She has limited time left and they are powerless to stop it. All they can do is try to make the best happiest use of the little time they have left.

oh. i see. i misunderstood. apologies.

@Chad_Snow you've been commenting this every week and it's really tiring to see it. You're favorite anime is about a middle schooler with boobs the size of her head lmfao.

If you don't like anime stop watching it???

Glad overall most of the people and those on other websites have had positive for this episode. The candle scene is my favorite in the entire visual novel.

@Phoenix_Trite Notice how in that anime both characters are the same age and actually look like their the same age? In fact the female is taller and more mature than the male. In the show you decided to mention those middle school characters are all more mature that Tsumugi.
