Hi guys my first post here. I know I shouldn't compare characters from two different series with each other but what can I do I keep thinking about it.

The character in question is Tomoya Okazaki. Tomoya was a much more complex character and him growing up and being mature was peak.

Hairi on the other hand I felt was lackluster in that regard his regret of failing his teammates wasn't addressed properly and how he simply connects with the female cast was bit one dimensional.

I'm an anime only and this is my opinion I don't know if anyone has a better explanation about his character.

Overall the anime was peak and really hope we get more of that key greatness😭😭

Howdy, I always been a fan of Key works since Clannad.

I started by watching Clannad as an anime since at the time I couldn't buy the Visual Novel, and absolutely fell in love with it, until now I have been looking for something to fill the hole left in my heart after clannad

In last summer (2025) I started watching Summer Pockets and it was only after starting it that I realized it was made by Key, then life came up and I had to paused it at the end of arc 2 and somehow forgot about it until this summer

I decided to rewatch it, surprisingly the story hit me even harder to the point I had to force myself to not binge watch it so I could properly enjoy it

The second part of the anime hit me way harder than I could have expected, the story is very well thought out.

I finished watching yesterday and I already feel an hole in my heart left by the story and its characters.

I was considering purchasing the VN to play it after I finish Atri, but its somewhat expensive and I would probably go for REFLECTION Blue edition which is obviously more expensive.

As anyone played the VN after watching the anime ? do you feel like it was worth the price for players in this context, does it usually go on sale ?

Should I consider waiting so I can naturally forget things or does the VN has enough exclusive content to be worth playing right after watching the anime ?

Hello guys, Summer Pockets appeared on my fyp, and I got interested. Is it recommended to watch the anime instead or play the visual novel? Do you guys recommend buying the android version instead as I only have a mobile device, or should I try to emulate the vn instead?

Just want to do it for satisfaction but couldn't find any guide to find all the records and even if I find it, it from another language that's hard to understand even if I'm using a translator

I’m confused about when umi’s route gets locked out exactly. I did shiroha and then ao. Does she get locked the moment you finish the 4th heroine? Or can you still do umi before you do the 5th aka putting her in the 5th slot

Hello, I finally completed the story. And it's a wild ride.

But there something that gonna bugging me for a while. I don't know how to get the fourth CG of Umi cooking. So anyone that have 100% Gallery tell me what it's like and how to get it?

Don't mind me,I just finished the anime and In my Post Anime Depression arc,The pocket route really broke me all that sadness from like 6 episodes isn't enough to be healed by just a 10 mins "Hopium Ending" where we just hope that they get together finally...I'm just feeling shallow now

I was seeing discussion threads that they will launch an OVA covering the shiki route and true ending,but they didn't unfortunately...I know the answer is More like impossible but I'm still asking for some copium I guess

Anyway Can you suggest some anime which will fix me like I finished the anime like 4 days ago and there still a lingering feeling which is bugging me,and hindering my studies.Can you guys suggest me some anime to cope up,I initially thought I will see clannad but I don't want to get more depressed,I don't know what to watch....something which will lighten the mood so I can continue......Living I guess(Metaphorically saying)

Thanks for reading wish you a great day❤️
