Yes, I agree too, I kind of got used to them, but for me, they are just not "marimite"-like.... I was so glad they kept the same OP theme with a bit a rearrangement like always, and I do hope they'll keep the same tradition again for the new season !

I found that the designs of Sachiko in the last scene of the 5th ova looked a bit more like the TVanimation than the previous ovas...I wonder if it's hinting at the 4th season being a TV series or I am just wishing it? |

Among all 3rd season I love Pastel Pure OVA the most
For some reason , I think it's good to have KOTOKO sing for 4th season ED again. Just like Kirei na Senritsu , lovely and beautiful picture , sweet song! Someone have any clue when will it air? PS. I hope it will be TV series too. Such a pain to wait for 3months/1 ep , 51 minutes is very fast. And more SachikoxYumi PLEASE~! |

OTOH, I can understand that they stick to the Yumi-centric events for the OVA as that is the main plot of the series and she is the main character, and from a narrative perspective it makes perfect sense as they really can't afford to deviate much from the main events with the "one-book-per-episode" -format, and expanding things over several episodes would just introduce bad cuts and lead to a poor narrative flow. I guess this would make a good argument for the pro- TV-series people - It would allow the creators to perhaps jam in some of the shorter side plots/character stories without it thus gimping away the screentime devoted to the main events themselves, as they TV-series structre lends itself to that much much better. Still, I'm wishfully hoping we get the skipped Noriko/Shimako story thingy from Novel 15 (or was it 16?) at some point in season 4, or at least a nod to it - Technically, if they do a TV-series, they could jam it in almost anywhere, as it's not exactly a very timeline or central-plot bound thing, so it wouldn't impact the flow of the main narrative. I'm a bit in the dark myself in the regard of the future events of the novels that are up-and-coming for S4, so other than knowing that there will likely be a shitload of Touko in S4, I don't have much of an idea of what to expect from it, really . |

Not having read any of the manga/novels, I would say that the next season (or any future Marimite anime) is probably going to have to focus on (1) Yumi chosing a petite sœur and/or (2) dealing with Sachiko's graduation, and her own potential advancement to the role of Rosa Chinensis rather than the Yumi/Sachiko relation, per se. That is just a guess, though. |

Pretty much of the same opinion. however, the last ova shows agai that Yumi regrets the lack of intimacy betwen her and Sachiko (the comparison with Rei and Yoshino, who would come to each other's house anytime, walk together anytime, call each oher on the phone just anytime, who go out, etc...) so maybe the S4 could make them work a bit towards this way?
I was happy and surprised that so much time have been given to the white rose family in the 2nd season, that's why I didn't expect anything to be centered around them in the ovas, and with the soeur audition coming along in the S4, I don't expect much will be happenning amongst the Gigantea family..... but I still hope a little of the details spread amongst the novels will be revealed Spoiler for like ::

I would not mind seeing some more about the whole Shimako-Noriko relationship, and more Sei or Shizuka are always welcome, too. Plus, with all this talk about Yumi chosing a petite sœur, there has not really been any talk about the fact that Yoshino needs to choose one, too. That would be intersting to see how that impactes her relationship with Rei. Definetly lots of material for future anime, and lots of directions to go in. I look forward to seeing just what they do next! |
