New route, new characters! I never played the visual novel, or knew of its existence until I started watching this anime, so I’m wondering if there’s a supernatural element to all of the stories. Tsumugi makes it sound like she’s either dying or some kind of spirit, and since we kind of dealt with dying in the last route, I don’t think it’s that. Also I’m wondering what exactly Kataou is despite being the catalyst of why we’re getting all these different stories.

  i mean we didn't really deal with death but sickness, she wasn't dead just in a coma when summer started (which i theorize could be because her consciousness was on the island) but you're right that it would be very similar story beats but idk maybe that's the point

Alright, so my guess before about we will enter Tsumugi "Mugyu" the Lighthouse Girl was right, and we also meet new character, Shizuku, who are mostly we can meet on Tsumugi route and love to say some "interesting" words. To be honest, Tsumugi is my least favorite route on Summer Pockets, but it's still good nonetheless, I still recommend all of you to watch it until the end.

About the pacing, maybe for this particular episode, I can honestly say that it's so fast, for myself that has been playing the VN, but I think they need to do it for some reason, hopefully the next episode of her route can be more interesting.

Also, I love that they put some minor details, like when Hairi still on the ship, Hairi mumbling about his being some kind of bird that hurt, this is actually a choice you can make on the VN, and yes, you can also choose how the girls will mock you after the first choice too.

Episode 1: Wounded Bird of Passage / Lucifer (When the girls mocked him)
Episode 7: Songless Canary / Canarian Rocker (When the girls mocked him)

Overall, need to see another episode of Tsumugi route, oh by the way, you probably wonder who is the voice on the beginning of this episode, well... not going to tell you anything, you need to watch until it reveal itself.

A reminder that this anime is using Omnibus Format, so don't get confused if the timeline is resetting to the beginning. Probability of how will the routes will go (not including Reflection Blue):
Kamome > Tsumugi > Ao > Shiroha > Something A > Something B

  About the pacing of the episode yes. It's too fast. I am like "did we already reached this point of her story within an episode?"

  I just hope they can handle Tsumugi route like how they handle Kamome route, maybe even better than that, but we'll see.

I had to check if this anime was adapted from a video game after watching this episode and I'm not sure why I didn't before, it indeed is, now everything is making sense!

If they're going for each route, I wonder if it's gonna be a 24 episode series or if it's gonna be cut into multiple seasons.

I just hope it doesn't end up being rushed and crammed into 12 episodes.
- Removed 11mo
  It's likely 12 episodes and it's going to be rushed because tsumugi route is going too fast in one episode. So kinda feels like it's going to be rushed.
  Zerald 11mo
  Aww... That's unfortunate. Maybe I'll just buy the visual novel.

  You can continue the anime if you want since it's gonna be consecutive cours but best to play VN too.
  Sirion 11mo
  A trustworthy leaker said that it's gonna be a 26 episodes series
  Removed 11mo
  Oh yeah. Just searched it. It does say two consecutive cours but it also mentioned that it most likely cannot cover all the routes from VN
Rycarflareshine 11mo
I can't trust this show man! This one is gonna turn into butterflies too, I just know it!

Looks like umi is the one resetting the world everytime summer ends but small changes happen every time she does

This one's gonna hurt more?! Man i thought i left this emotional pain back when i watched Atri -My Dear Moments-. Welp, time to go at it again ;-;
Cold 11mo
I quite enjoyed most of this episode but it's undeniably sad how much they're rushing this. seems inevitable they're going to try to force the whole thing into 2 cours which is a recipe for disaster :(

oh mann.. i remember when i was crying playing this route back in 2020
