I guess each episode
just gets worse.
Episode 06.
The continuation of
Ikki's route just further went over his problem. Comparing Ikki's story to
Shin, I think that the supernatural side of Ikki's story kind of ruined it
although without it, his character wouldn't really be anything special. I mean
seriously? Wishing on a shooting star to be popular to girls and having it
granted in such a seriously annoying way?
Once again, the trip
event was commenced but it was done on a different day with different people.
Although we never get to see the scene at the first episode where the girls
that likes Ikki bullies her further in front of her apartment. I guess we can't
expect all of those things to happen.
The 3months
relationship that Ikki was talking about doesn't seem to be a coincidence
although the reason behind it was kind of annoying. First off, Ikki said that
he started dating at around middle school and his relationship only lasted for
three months and so on… The cycle continuous and his seriousness on
relationships had gone out. Why the heck didn't he stop being in a relationship
in the first place? x_x
Secondly, does this
mean that the fan club for Ikki has been going around for that long? 3months
relationship in middle school? And how old is he now? Like 22yrs or something?
The fan club has been going around for more than 5yrs? That’s got to be ridiculous!
What's even more questionable are their strange agreements/promises when dating
Ikki. Those who are permitted to date Ikki are only allowed to date him for
3months and must submit a daily report. We've probably heard of something like 'Kazehaya is for everyone' in Kimi ni Todoke but AMNESIA's style of doing it is beyond being a stalker.
Based on how I see Ikki, he'll be the guy I'll dislike the most in
here. His character and story just tells me not to like him. Just why the heck
is the heroine okay with Ikki flirting with those fan club members? Just why
the heck did she joined that stupid fan club when she can actually date Ikki
freely? Why is Rika's character not further developed and showed what's her
deal with Ikki aside from being the trip organizer and probably head of the fan
club? Oh well~
On a side note, it
seems that Ukyou can also maintain his memories from the heroine's other
worlds. He and the heroine must also possess the Reading Steiner. LOL. (Steins;Gate reference for those who doesn't
know).
Episode 07.
That was rather
quick.
It's kind of
disappointing for Kent's route to come by so fast. I was actually enjoying
Kent's character being all analytic, curious and always relying on researches
and stuff. His route became a bit more entertaining than Shin's and Ikki's
because of his research-based acts.
It's nice how Kent
was also able to notice the change on the heroine's character but unlike Shin,
Kent was able to gave us a clear view of how the heroine was before. She may
not be as smart and analytic as Kent but it seems that they have arguments every
now and then which makes her a bit more interesting compared to her character
in Shin's route who sings in a band.
Anyway, as a science
and mathematics oriented person, it's a bit surprising how Kent just digested
the fact that Orion actually existed. But his desire to talk to Orion and get a
hold of the situation came in quite natural for his character. There weren't
really knew things to learn from his Q&A and Kent's take on of the
situation came in pretty interesting.
Unlike Shin and
Ikki, Kent doesn't really have some big time personal problems but I find his
the most interesting one yet. The only personal thing he was able to get from
the heroine is his realization that logic isn't always the right thing but
there wasn't really much evidence on that conclusion. We definitely lack
development on Ikki there. How sad -_-
The end of his arc
wasn't as stupidly tragic as Shin's and Ikki's. It's more like an open end
there and we all can't help but think that heroine must have died once again…
Either way, we're quickly moving to Toma's arc which came to me by surprise.
On a side note, it
seems that Ukyou never appeared in Kent's arc since it was really quick. Not
that I care. Really.
~Episode 8 + 9 will be posted tomorrow :3
