Wasn't my favourite route but the visuals for her story should be really beautiful. Also her theme song is quite good. Looking forward to it, except boob jokes.

Kamome is a tough act to follow but I'm excited for Tsumugi's arc!

Both kind are fine but i'm glad they chose the routes option instead of an overall original story adaptation or main route/true end only like most VN's anime adaptation did, the sooner really let us feel the multiple sides without having to feel bad for the "losing heroines", i wonder where today's episode will "reset" if it does.

Ugh. Why are female character designs in Japan getting younger and younger? Even in the ultra-moe Clannad, Nagisa only looked like a very young teen because of her spoiler[ultimately fatal, or sorta I guess as it gets complicated ] illness. The other females more or less looked their age. But here you have something that isn't purposefully done in the moe style - more like everything but the likes Kowloon Generic Romance is moe influenced these days including even Maomao of The Apothecary Diaries, who had she come around last gen would have looked more like Shirayuki in Snow White with the Red Hair - but you get allegedly 16 year old characters like Tsumugi who barely look 12. This isn't about wanting every character to look like a gravure model either. Take Haruhi Suzumiya where knife nut Ryoko and even Yuki (who in a dating sim would have been "the petite option") actually looked 16/17 also. Tsumugi barely looks older than Kyon's 11 year old sister. Remember Bleach, with the entire female cast being drawn to resemble high school juniors or adult women except Karin, Yuzu and Ururu and this included not only petite characters like Rukia but even "cute childlike" Momo. We are getting to the point where were Bleach to be made today, Momo would be the most mentally and physically mature character in a cast of Yuzus and Ururus. And Bleach was aimed at the same younger shonen crowd as Naruto (whose protagonists were initially 12) and One Piece that had just graduated from kodomomuke, not the older shonen crowd that is getting ready to move onto light novels and seinen.
If anime and manga becomes more niche - for and by Japanese otaku - with South Korean and Chinese comics and cartoons replacing it, this will be a reason why. |

Feel like I just lost brain cells reading this idiotic comment.

Exactly this isn't about fanservice, it's about consistency and believability. Back then, even the "petite" characters looked their age. Now it's like every new show cranks the clock backwards. If Bleach dropped today, Momo would feel like the only teen in a lineup of toddlers. Shonen used to balance maturity with style now it’s sliding into a weird infantilized aesthetic. Time to level up again.
