(L) Amnesia (2013)

[Kanon]

It sucks Kento only got one episode. He was a pretty cool guy. I didn't expect him to be so socially awkward. I can understand why the heroine of that world was uncomfortable with him.

The heroine finally revealed everything to somebody, only to die 5 minutes later. I thought Kento might have been able to help since he seemed like an open-minded and smart guy.

Edit: actually, we didn't see her die this time around. It's possible her alternate self kept living.

[Bern-san]

Fairy version of Kent called Kentorion

And finally Toma's route huh....

[ookamigirl]

Seems like she switched to Kento this time.
He's an interesting, but kinda lost.
Festival was nice...
Wow, how many of them has she dated so far? Seems a lot.
Yet, he's the only one who figured out the truth about her memories.
Every episode is dedicated to her and one of the guys.
Each time it's her and a different guy.
At least this way we can get to know the male characters better.

[LKK]

Something I've noticed after 3 guys is that MC-chan gets pulled into the next world shortly after she helps the current guy resolve some issue of his. Shin had daddy-anger issues he needed to get out. Ikki didn't trust women to actually be interested in him, thinking it was all due his special eyes. Kento didn't know how to be emotional, particularly with his romantic interests. It almost as if MC-chan is some sort of dimensional romance therapist. Is this why she's jumping dimensions? If so, who drafted her for the job??

/speculation

[ars89]

Wow Kento got screwed, only had 1 ep. Though out of the three guys so far he's been the most enjoyable.

[mistress_kisara]

Too bad Kent only got one episode seriously if we have 13 eps. he could've had another ep. episode. I think they want to make Ukyo's route longer..

That's just what being a visual novel protagonist is about

It'd be boring if the love interests had no issues to resolve. I doubt this is actually a plot point, although I suppose they could have been playing with the trope.

Isn't that the case for most otome animes/games? All the dudes will have deep emotional wounds that can only be cured by no one but the heroine alone. Perhaps Dr.Phil was the one who drafted her for the job

Well, assuming Touma only has 1 episode just like Kent, then we have 4 episodes left for Ukyo, which is good cause it would suck to allocate only 2 episodes for Ukyo. One problem I have with all the arcs so far is that the romance development feels contrived due to all the rushing, so hopefully Ukyo's arc will deliver.

My lack of experience with otome animes & games is showing. I've never played an otome game. (Not a gamer at all.) The number of otome anime I've seen can be counted on one hand. So please forgive my ignorance of common themes. I'm not enough in the know yet.

Don't worry! I am not much of a gamer myself, but it's not difficult to outline the typical "formula" in otome games/animes after going through only a few of them. I am sure if you watch 2 or more such animes, you can more or less guess the formula too This same pattern could also be applied to many shoujo mangas.

[Dark Faith]

Kind of odd how he readily accepts the existance of "fairy-kun" and paralel worlds. But he was kind of a nice guy, even if brutally honest ("I didn't care about the festival so I forgot about it"... yikes. Ouch.)

[novalysis]

Wow, one Episode for one of the most awesome characters in this series so far? I am dissapointed.

And the ending was actually quite poignant, if the episode managed to get you to sympathize with Kento.

"Would I see you again tommorow?"

" Yes"

Get's sent to the next world. Ouch.

I wonder whether the original returned after that though.

[Chiibi]

Kento's social awkwardness is amusing but Orion stole the second half this time.

"I DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT!"

lmao.

[Dr. Casey]

I'm starting to get the impression that, before her memory loss, MC-chan was the girlfriend of everyone in the whole town...

Theory time: before the story begins and before any hijinx related to time travel or amnesia reared their head, MC-chan was a femme fatale notorious for stringing along multiple guys at any given time. MC-chan's reputation preceded her, but so great was her beauty and irresistible her charm that every boy she encountered became trapped in her web, even whenever they knew they were just being played.

One dark and stormy night, MC-chan was driving down a secluded, quiet road en route to a date with one of her seven boyfriends. A little boy darted across the road, sure that nobody would be out at this time of night, and was hit by MC-chan's car. The boy's injuries were grave, but with the proper medical attention he could have been saved. Unfortunately, MC-chan was sexting one of her other boyfriends at the moment, and she was so engrossed in their roleplaying session that she never noticed hitting him.

That little boy was Orion. Left alone to bleed to death in the middle of the road, Orion's spirit was a vengeful one consumed by hate. Orion's spirit cast a curse upon the girl to deprive her of that which she loved above anything else... a curse to ensure the girl never managed to find love again. MC-chan's memories were erased, and a curse was placed upon her so that if she ever managed to find love again, time would reset to the morning of August the 1st, the day MC-chan killed Orion. That's why the time warps happen whenever MC-chan's romantic feelings for the other person first begin to blossom. Orion might seem like a cute little fairy, but that is just a mask. The true Orion is a being of pure contempt and malice, a spirit obsessed with taking revenge upon the girl who killed him.

You heard it here first, AnimeSuki. This might seem like a stretch, but I have faith that my theory is 100% correct.

[EroKing]

^Dr. Casey should be in Japan writing anime scripts, he comes up with some pretty cool stuff

About this episode, well too bad Kento couldn't see Orion, they would have hit it off as bffs having such fabulous fashion sense

Where does Ukyo play into all this? Nice theory btw. It's prob gonna be better than whatever the actual story dishes out.

She didn't fix anything for Ikki, he remains oblivious that his plight is due to the psycho fan club, not to mention from his point of view the love of his life just got murdered in a lake.

I do not think Touma has only one episode, because the story of him is complicated. Also, it seems that Touma is the favorite character (at least among the players of the game).
