Lame. First, I love how we get to an emotional charged moment in half-way through episode 10 and then don't return to that moment until half-way through episode 11. Nice episode worth of telling us crap we already knew in between.
And then in the finale it comes down to, "I knew they were in love but I pushed my way in the middle, anyway."
Fine. I really don't care what happens to these three drips, anyway. I'm confused over the ending - will Touma still be going to Europe? Have Setsuna and Haruki broken up? Who knows? Who cares.
Shoulda dropped this one early on.

Why do you think that's the ending?
There's still one more episode to go.
And not to mention the whole 'nother sequel VN that follows it.

Oh, I thought 12 was the finale. I don't recall seeing a preview for next week. I don't ever watch VNs so a sequel there is meaningless to me. I suspect an anime sequel to this title would be just as meaningless. These people are simply too boring.

I feel like 12 eps are not enough for this anime. They just threw away Ogiso the last 3 eps. Even though i like Touma better, i think they should spend sometime for Ogiso too.
They have to fit so much stuff into 12 eps, they have to skip alot of op/eds too.

Damn I gotta admit, I feel sorry for Setsuna this episode after everything that has happened. The finale was intense in the beginning, I mean wow. No holds barred people.
Dat kisses...wow, more than just that :O
I wonder if that will be uncensored when BD's are released. Anyways yeah. I don't have much else to add to this. I was a Touma fan though so I was happy to see how the episode went but again, I feel sorry for Setsuna as well. Great to hear the OP song at the end though. It's one of my favorites this season.
Rating this as very good!

Was it just me or she couldn't walk straight the next morning? Overall I thought it was pretty good for a romance. At least I didn't want to shoot the characters in the end (only hit them hard).
Since this is just the first part of the vn and the sales seem to be good, I expect there'll be a second season next winter.

ahh, that was painful, but in a well written, only logical outcome for three teenagers acting like real teenagers painful. And just like a poster in the WA2 TVtropes forum promised, I haven't felt this way since finishing Rumbling Heats. I look forward to the closing chapter should sales be decent. Giving this an Excellent

do i have to play the game for the real ending now?
One of my top 3 anime this season. It probably won't sell. Same with Kyousougiga.

Episode 13:
So...what the crap happened they just cut away after Kazusa and Haruki were insensitively making out in front of poor Setsuna and suddenly they're looking at a plane fly off. Argh!! More info is needed than that, like did he break up with Setsuna for Kazusa? Did Kazusa leave for good or will she be back? Did Setsuna just win by default? Ouch, hollow victory is hollow. I really don't like the way that was handled, even if there might be more like others have inferred.
Oh well, at least we got a nice sex scene out of this episode even if they were being unfaithful and duplicitous to a mutual friend.

Well the story wasn't that much about who's gonna win, but can they all stay together. We saw that even if Kazusa were to stay, there would be no happy harem ending. But judging by the ending Setsuna isn't done with Haruki yet.

That's just the ending of the introductory chapter of the eroge, right?
There's plenty of room for more story here.

I don't know I thought Haruki's narration from the first episode made it pretty clear that a happy ending and everyone getting along was not in the cards Though, yeah, that's a given about Setsuna not seeming like she's given up. Perhaps she'll embrace her self-perceived role as the man-stealer though more likely she'll play the role of "comforter" while Kazusa is gone.

Whew, I finally finished this show. I had stalled it at episode 8 due to work/class commitments but I'm glad I found the time to catch up. It was a really emotional ride for me; I was cheering for Touma the whole time and I had problems digesting the events when Setsuna was "winning." Once the turn of events occurred I was doing a slight victory dance and smiling.
Even though I was cheering for Touma, I find it hard for me to hate Setsuna even if she admits to being the one at fault. The interesting thing is the three main characters blame themselves for the problems and don't seek to blame each other -- Touma and Haruki belive they betrayed Setsuna; Setsuna states she strole Haruki from Touma. An even more interesting thing is that the supporting cast of WA2 support Setsuna (as seen from Io's talk with Setsuna on the rooftop, and Takeya warning Haruki of his choices). Touma gets no love from anybody besides Haruki and her mother.
Anyways, hopefully we'll get a Closing Chapter adaption and then CODA. Unfortunately, I've heard sales aren't that great yet but to be optimistic, maybe it'll be enough to justify an adaption of the remaining story.
