I appreciate that they try to show all of the routes and stories without making Haru into an unlikable slut, but their structure, without a literal guide helping you along, is too confusing. Yosuga no Sora, on the other hand, is too sloppy. Despite having wet toilet paper for a MC, it’s a rather brilliant way of pulling this off. Not to mention that she has amnesia, so if she is dating any of them in her real timeline, she wouldn’t know it. She does technically get with all of the guys in some way – but she’s never really cheating on any of them at any point. The MC will have some degree of romance with each available love interest, making him come off like a total slut who couldn’t give a shit in a bucket about any of the girls he’s pursuing – most certainly not whichever one is meant to be the canon partner.Īmnesia, as much crap as I give the series, did it best because they had a structure where the MC would jump from one world or timeline to another where each world she visits is one where she’s dating another guy. Many VN adaptations try to have their cake and eat it too, which usually results in a complete mess. For example, episode seven is meant to start both the Nao and Sora arcs, but it acts so much like it’s just the start of Nao’s arc, made all the more confusing when Nao and Haru start dating in the end of the episode. Here’s the thing, though – if you don’t realize this structure immediately, you’ll be left insanely confused and thinking Haru’s a heartless man-whore with lovers that conveniently develop amnesia after their stories are over.Įven if you do figure out the structure, they don’t point out beginnings and ends well enough for you to not be confused whenever a new foundation or arc starts. The flow chart available on the Wiki explains it better, but I have already reviewed all of the arcs and the foundational episodes in the list below.Įpisode Two – Foundation of Kazuha and Akira’s arcsĮpisode Seven – Foundation of Nao and Sora’s ArcsĮpisodes Ten, Eleven and Twelve – Sora’s Arc None of the arcs are supposed to run into each other outside of a few episodes that act as bases for the individual arcs.

After I watched another few episodes, I got confused.Įven though the review explained that this series tries to show all of the different routes of the visual novel on which this anime is based from, they didn’t explain that each arc was its own contained story. After giving the first episode a shot on Episode One-Derland, I was inclined to agree. Deciding to return to their hometown to live together in their deceased grandfather’s old house after the tragedy, Haru finds love in many places in the village – and even at home.īreakdown: I got onto this show through a very short but heated review on THEM where they shot it down to one star and basically called it poorly written disjointed non-hentai hentai.
Plot: Haru and Sora are a pair of recently orphaned twins.
