um…i guess i'm genuinely curious what this will entail...for reasons...

i was kinda a little burnt by the magicians game because, it just didn't feel good (even with a ps5 sku), the story just felt like a retreading of the og quintuplets, with a fantasy setting bolted on...anyway...

..this is one of those "nostalgic shows" because i do remember watching the first season around 2020 or so.

Baffled to see this franchise still shuffling on. He picked his girl, and the one he picked isn't interesting enough to carry on the story herself. So... what more is there to add?

Perhaps they'll do alternate routes?

At this point they could do alternative endings, i really wanted Nino to win, since they want to milk this this much, do me this little fanservice.

Same. I'm down for more series like this going the "We Never Learn" route and giving each of the main girls their own "ending" so you can decide which one you want as canon.

I'm pretty satisifed with the ending but more of the Quints is always a good thing, at least for me.

This could be like the visual novel where you pick who end up with. It'll show all the different endings for each girl.

Is having to marry Uesugi "winning"? Yotsuba took that bullet for the team. I don't think we should wish the same fate on Nino.

The Quintessential Quintuplets: Five Memories Spent With You visual novel (available translated on Steam and Switch) already covered alternate endings. In that game you can pick who he confesses to the night of the school festival. Theres even a special ending where he doesn’t pick and you have to fall in love with one of the characters during the school trip. I highly recommend as it uses the same cast as the Japanese dub.

All that to say that, as an Itsuki fan, the visual novel was the perfect way to end the franchise. I don’t need this new extended epilogue.

I have the visual novel on my Steam Deck OLED and I think there's a chance this could be the other endings in animated form.

Two 24-minute episodes of the honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Been available on pirate networks with English fansubs for nearly 1½ years now.

Firstly, Yotsuba has always been best girl.

Secondly, it is Uesugi who took the bullet having to put up with the Quints for the rest of his life.

Assuming the new anime get licensed in North America, it'd be nice if season one becomes available on English-translated Region A Blu-ray again.
