The current world where the Heroine gets to be Ikki's girlfriend felt to me the most dangerous one. The reason is simple: Ikki's presented as a seductive womanizer to other girls that fall for his charm, but our Heroine is oblivious to such effect and taken into consideration that she's suddenly put into another different but vaguely familiar world and still getting no answers as to what's going on.
However, she now knows from Sawa and confirmed by Kento, that Ikki breaks up with any girl that she dates for a three months period, however, for Heroine to reject his charms then it has become the first time for him to truly impress a girl. I feel the womanizer part of him is just a cover, and his deep inside is much more complicated and yet not necessarily that ostentatious. Anyways, the current arc is kind of the stagnation point. Heroine feels helplessly trapped in this current world with Ikki, receiving anything but answers as to her predicament, and, to top it all, just when she gets a sliver of hope with Orion reappearing to explain things the Spirit fades away without warning. Now, if we follow what both the OP and ED sequences have shown to us every week: Spoiler:

The Ikki arc turned out to be pretty boring. I just can't find anything interesting about him. He's more or less the typical misunderstood playboy, which is not exactly the kind of person I can empathize with. "It's so tough being popular" (Orion actually used that line and perfectly summarized this arc ).

Well, we certainly know who those colored hair girls are and how they are related to her as well as their reactions in the beginning of the series. So, she's actually a member of the Ikki fanclub as they are, although not for the same reasons as everyone else. That makes the whole "broke our promise" scenario have a bit more sense in it, the whole monopolizing Ikki and not reporting about him and all of that. The arc itself was slightly underwhelming. I wonder how her relationship with Kento is going to be like.

Ikki is hanging around our heroine more and more.
He is really getting attached to her a lot. Looks like there is more to him than just his player persona. His confession was really nice. That guy has shown many different sides of him so far. She's still too passive.. Ikki's fan club girls are kinda scary. The whole boat-sinking-drowning thing was rather naive.

Basically be careful when you wish upon a star And that death was so... random?
At least we're going to enter to the routes of the most entertaining guys BTW the 3rd game called Amnesia Crowd is going to be released on April 18th. And have you seen the news about Arcana Famiglia 2 game where the guys are like 10 times more hot? And bishonen Elmo?!

Boring... sooo boring.
Our heroine is still way too passive, to the point I felt bad for Ikki when he said "I want to hear your voice" and ended up doing most of the talk himself... The whole "my eyes are magic, lol" and fanclub is just... meh. Moving on. Hopefully our girl will develop a personality soon. |

He kind of reminds me of Setsuna from Gundam 00.
Also, the Ikki arc was a somewhat interesting one. It certainly helped me warm up to him. He's still arrogant, but it's nice to see that that arrogance is an effort to hide his insecurities. And is was so sweet the way he dropped everything and ran to his sick girlfriend's house so that he could take care of her. Also, it's nice that we were able to finally understand why Ikki's fanclub hated MC so much. BTW, I did not like Waka in this arc. He was one character who could certainly use a chill pill.

I did not feel episode six to be boring at all, on the contrary, I got some questions answered related to Ikki and a mystery solved. Besides, this particular episode shed into light a little bit about Joker.
After a two episodes absence, Joker returned to meet Heroine, and his words to her let me know that he knows more a lot what's happening to Heroine. Spoiler:
Recall the conclusion to the first episode when Heroine gets assaulted by three mysterious girls telling her she broke the promise... Spoiler:
Again, Heroine is put to another death-and-life situation.... Spoiler:

I enjoyed ep6 a lot. Got much more of Ikki's character. The girls revealed part of what is going on. And Nazuka Kaori continues to be outstanding as the heroine: the hesitancy, confusion and weakness are palpable. Seems like art to me. I loved Taniyama Kishou's work as Ikki, too.

Ok for those that have played the game can you answer me a few questions.
Why is she hopping to parallel dimensions with only minor changes? Why do accidents keep happening to her to cause her to jump? What really happened to her memories and what or who is causing her to jump around? Why did Orion just suddenly pretty much drop out of the picture? If I was her I would stop answering phones or getting out of bed the nightmare of not knowing who you are in this world and what is going on and why... I would just say screw it and stay in bed. |

Poor Kent. He only has 1 episode while Ikki and Shin have roughly two episodes. The fact that they are rushing through each arc means that the stage is set for the ultimate and final arc.....which I am guessing is Ukyo, the green hair dude. Yeay!!
