Toma's route has got
to be the most polished one in terms of story but I still can't say that it's
great as it is.
Episode
08.
Toma's route
perfectly explained why 'that scene' was never shown in Ikki's route (now that
completes the quick previews of their routes from episode one) although this
episode still didn't cleared what is Ikki's relation to the heroine this time.
But I'm kind of used to that hangover since AMNESIA
has always been that way.
After finally seeing
all the guys in the series, I'd say that I'm picking Toma as my second fave
with Kent as the first on my list leaving both Shin and Ikki out of it. Toma's
really playing his boyfriend/onii-chan figure really well and that's what I particularly
like about him. He's a relaxing and reliable character than never puts the
heroine in a position that she might struggle or be scared.
I'm pretty glad to
see the heroine actually getting the hang of things but I guess she should really start being more careful or she'll end
up dying uh-gain -_- And I'm really
hoping that the heroine's actually ready to face what's going to happen next
based on what she saw in her mailbox. I think that it was pretty obvious based
on the things that just happened the scene from episode one will happen in here.
Finally Ukyou's
appearance will definitely be given some light in the next couple of episode
since Toma's the last one. Ukyou's really making me curious since he actually
knows that the heroine has been shifting routes and he knows that she'll die as
well.
Episode
09.
This second episode
of Toma's route partially revealed why he was being too protective of the
heroine that it doesn't seem normal anymore. He'll seriously be some creepy
stalker if he wasn't her childhood friend.
Out of all the
routes that have been tackled so far, Toma's route is the longest and had the
most appearances of other guys. The length of his arc became the greatest
advantage for its almost decent development. Episode 8 established his
protectiveness and it was noticeable how he never asked the heroine about her
amnesia despite his protective and caring character.
This episode just
made me dislike Toma in everyway possible. I guess we can't argue that he
wanted to protect the heroine but I don't really see the point of hiding it
from Shin when he only needs to protect her from Ikki's fans, as he had
mentioned. I'd say that Toma has become obsessed of the heroine that he even
kept her on a cage. Hiding all of those important things from her such as her
relationship with him, her relationship with Ikki, and other more things was
just wrong.
The heroine's
mistake of thinking that she's in a relationship with Toma is tolerable here.
What I seriously can't believe in here is how the heroine didn't realized
immediately that Toma's putting her to sleep. I can't believe that Orion had to
spell it out for her -_- What also surprised or maybe annoyed me in here is why
she isn't showing any resistance to him. If Orion never even told her to get
out of there or something, she might have played Master-and-Pet with Toma for
the rest of her life. But I guess I can give props to Toma for protecting her.
This arc has got to be her longest life yet :))
On a side note, I
was surprised to know that in this arc the heroine's attracted to Ikki… or
maybe not since they meet at the back alley? This feels like a parallel world
of Ikki's. AND when the heroine was hit by a car, I seriously thought that she
was going to die before she finds out her feelings for Toma :))
Finally, with the
heroine on the run and Toma's just a few meters away, I'd say that the next
episode will be wrapping this route up and open for its finale. I'm honestly
looking forward to seeing what's inside the heroine's diary and what she
thought of Toma back then.
~episode 10 will be done later (if my internet isn't crappy, I guess).
