Episode 12

This episode did not really have that interesting of a heroine, I can understand emotional problems (I spoiler[transferred numerous schools] too), but it is not fun to have a main character putting herself down, and the guy taking that as reason to what appeared to be stalking her. The plot kind of reminds me of something I did (or did not do) because of spoiler[moving], makes me feel depressed.

I would say that the main purpose of the episode was to actually show off all of the girls, showing what would not happen from him not focusing on them, and this episode's girl trying out the clubs. Actually made it feel like they were using the fact that she did not have much personality to do so, her absence from most of the versions of the changing photo at the end highlighting this, although they tried to save it by putting her in the end, and making her a focus of looking at the photos.

Next episode preview:

But being what it is I will demand one thing. There needs to be a spoiler[sister route], that which was joked about on Amagami SS, and fulfilled in that other series with the catchy ED song.

Called it!

I was waiting for this episode since I had a feeling that Misumi would be the most interesting one and then it turned out that she was quite boring.

Pretty much. It felt like an ending episode where all the other girls were also seen in action by showing Misumi how much fun she could have when interacting with people and partaking in the various clubs. Then again, an episode focused entirely on Misumi probably wouldn't have been all that interesting anyway...

This anime is very similar to watching someone else play an eroge but not as fun. Because you can't grab them without warning in inappropriate places.

congrats Dusky

yeah, not much to add here. Kinda boring, but the spoiler[moving away] was an interesting scenario. With almost every episode, the President becomes slightly more respectable and likeable, and it's very weird. I'll be the odd man out and say meh to next weeks spoiler[Kanon] episode. She's certainly no Miya or Nana

spoiler[So they're not actually related to each other.] Okay...

Anyway Photo Kano gets a Not really good rating from me. I honestly don't know why I watched this every single week.

Episode 13

The forbidden aspect made it more exciting, even if they spoiler[removed the ick factor a little with no blood relation thing]. Apparently the even spoiler[waited like another two years to even date after confessing].

I did notice a good deal of frozen shots, so they were taking it easy in this episode, maybe not entirely bad. I think that the series had some good moments, but I cannot forgive it for what made me rant out earlier, that I do not think the beginning quite built up the alternate versions that it became, something other series did better.

But there were also some bad episodes, and I think the show did a pretty poor job at making the characters feel unique and interesting before their respective arc episodes. I actually was surprised by Kanon's voice as I thought she totally spoke like this, but Nii-yan, not Nii Nii. Miya is totally more interesting.

As a whole I have to rate it down as Not really good as I was pretty close to dropping this, it had some good ideas, but other things were just so bad. I would still recommend it to people who might enjoy the whole this sort of thing, but I rank it bellow Amagami and Yosuga no Sora.

This episode was actually pretty good. Didn't have the pacing issues some of the others did.

Nonoka's episode is still the best, though.

Overall the show wasn't bad. I got plenty of enjoyment out of it and the girls were high quality. I'll rate it as Decent.

Because you were looking for the fan service which never seemed to arrive?

I thought that all the bits were the girls were in sexy poses for the photos were awkward as hell.

I was really close to dropping it until I got to episode 5 and 6 which I thought were touching and cute. Some of the later episodes were cute as well, but it never reached similar heights sadly enough.

this one was ok, but she's still not as good as Miya or Nana. Overall, the show was disappointing. giving it a So-So

This anime was weird this way, it was okay the first few episodes, then the lead character, photographs this one girl, who falls in love with him, then next episode it was a different girl, then the next, another girl, he must have had 5 or more girls love him or have strong feelings for him, but it was like he never dated any one of them, it was kinda weird.

Because in each respective episode, he didn't date any of the other girls. Every episode after the 6th resets the timeline so he's free to hook up with another girl. Everyone wins.
