However, i can comment on Satsuki.

Spoiler for Satsuki:

While it does not look that the anime is avoiding her route based on this episode, but based on the skipped events and the preview i would say the anime is doing it.
The anime fast forwarded the Satsuki vs Hazuki scene while skipping some developments between Yuuki and Satsuki. Most importantly, the anime skipped out on the confession that happened in that scene.

Spoiler:

Wait I thought Yuuki said something to Chisato in the middle of episode 8 about "it's not love though" or did I completely misinterpret that? It's not 0% chance per se, but it's not a favorable pointer either.
(Plus all those Chisato specific scenes haven't/weren't used) (Also the anime seems pretty clear on showing that Chisato does not know what Yuuki has been doing, including chance encounters with Isara or Satsuki despite actually being there in the game.

And yeah, as soon as the episode 8 previews spawned, I had a high hunch that Satsuki would invoke route resolution, but not do anything specific of Yuuki with Satsuki, mainly because Satsuki's route core focus is about the Shinonome sisters and doesn't really have much to do with Yuuki at all. Kind of like ... "an independent event" since it's not election or chocolate related either.

The only thing that bothers me about it being Chisato is the fact that the anime reduced the number of scenes she could have been included in (specifically meetings with the earliest Isara and Satsuki encounters). OR they could have mentioned her weakness in cooking consider it's a dire contrast to Yuuki.
Heck the anime even reduced the number of nightly Yuuki room visits, if not all of them already.
Sure these things weren't too critical to the core plot, but I still feel the anime shows more Yuuki away time from Chisato than with time. If a Chisato end is to be picked, maybe it's to show the overall importance of her to him (something like having Chisato bug out is too weird, much more used to her being herself instead of all weird.)


hyl, can you explain the Michiru zoom in? She totally saw the little early morning exchange thing.
(On a random note I feel if they somehow resolve something with her route it's widely misplaced, or just really really late).


The thing that I see that makes Chisato more likely is running her specific route. If it goes that territory it's a bit obvious. I don't know nor recall exactly what it was.


The amusing thing with Satsuki is how her route is run and how the election results are. They're different, but if you took out the dating and confessions ... well then this is just a route to resolve without integrating love interest. Sure there was evidence Satsuki likes Yuuki but it didn't seem reciprocated. Sure Yuuki early on giggled from her beauty but I suppose as he got to know her more they simply turned good friends. Also the anime skipped the Oojima Roll eating. Minor detail, but come on, eating out together out in the field, far away from anyone else? Yeah.


Isara is very very unlikely with the fact that there's NO route output (while Chisato has the capacity to have integrated nearly everything in her individual route without much conflict). The only reason why I still think it's possible is simply because of mere giggly preference. (Oh and not doing haunted house with Isara essentially removed like 90% of her route specifics. Already there was no part time job event, nor meeting the siblings, nor the four leaf clover.)

The anime would be foolish to run an undecided ending. However, right now they didn't exactly show who Yuuki has preference for (though they do at least show reasons why the girls have been showing interest. kind of)

hyl just wondering:

Spoiler:

I found Satsuki's route resolution or rather, episode 8, seem to revolve a LOT more around Hazuki than Satsuki. Unlike Satsuki, Hazuki also saw the haunted house event. Aka it seemed more Hazuki than Satsuki, despite it being 100% Satsuki's route for well over half the episode.

But for the election standpoint, from what you gathered from the end of the episode and the previews, whose route does it look more like? None of us know who that new character is so ... (oh no, anime original? lol)

Shadow5YA's concern is a valid one though.

Spoiler:

While the anime left possibilities to nearly every character and had a few events from each route, they also truncated enough to prevent this from also favoring any one in particular too. Also the love is done slightly independent of the election. It affects it, but my point is "Yuuki isn't likely to choose a girl based on election".
